NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

 

Blackstone Senior Floating Rate 2027 Term Fund (formerly known as Blackstone Senior Floating Rate Term Fund) (“BSL”, the “Fund”,), is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. BSL was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 4, 2010. BSL was registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on March 5, 2010. BSL commenced operations on May 26, 2010. Prior to that date, BSL had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 common shares of beneficial interest in BSL to Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as BSL’s investment adviser. BSL’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) and trade under the ticker symbol “BSL.”

 

Absent shareholder approval to extend the term of BSL, BSL was initially scheduled to dissolve on or about May 31, 2020. Upon dissolution, BSL will distribute substantially all of its net assets to shareholders, after making appropriate provision for any liabilities. Pursuant to BSL’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, prior to the date of dissolution, a majority of BSL’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), with the approval of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote (as defined in the 1940 Act), may extend the life of BSL by a period of two years or such shorter time as may be determined. The dissolution date of BSL may be extended an unlimited number of times. On March 31, 2017, BSL announced an extension of BSL’s reinvestment period. The extension allows BSL to continue to reinvest proceeds generated by maturities, prepayments and sales of investments until one year prior to BSL’s scheduled dissolution date. On November 17, 2017, BSL’s shareholders approved extending the term of BSL by two years by changing BSL’s scheduled dissolution date from May 31, 2020 to May 31, 2022. On November 18, 2019, the Board approved a proposal to amend BSL's charter to allow an extension of up to five years in length (the “Charter Amendment”). The Board also approved a proposal to extend the term of BSL by five years by changing BSL's scheduled dissolution date from May 31, 2022 to May 31, 2027 (the “Term Extension”). The Charter Amendment and the Term Extension were subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained at a special shareholder meeting held on February 19, 2020.

 

On January 26, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective a registration statement filed under the “shelf” registration process for BSL. Pursuant to the shelf registration, BSL may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings, up to $100,000,000 of common shares. These shares may be offered and sold to or through underwriters, through dealers or agents that BSL designates from time to time, directly to purchasers, through at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings or through a combination of these methods. On February 1, 2022, BSL launched an ATM offering to sell up to $50,000,000 aggregate amount of its common shares. For the period ended September 30, 2024, BSL has not sold any shares pursuant to this shelf registration.

 

The Fund was previously classified as a non-diversified investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. As a result of ongoing operations, the Fund as of April 1, 2014 is now classified as a diversified company. This means that with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, no more than 5% of such Fund’s total assets may be invested in any one issuer, excepting cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, and securities of other investment companies. The Fund may not resume operating in a non-diversified manner without first obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with the 1940 Act.

 

Investment Objectives: BSL’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income, with a secondary objective to seek preservation of capital, consistent with its primary goal of high current income. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of BSL’s Managed Assets (defined in Note 3) will be invested in senior secured, floating rate loans (“Senior Loans”).

 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is considered an Investment Company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Portfolio Valuation: BSL’s net asset value (“NAV”) is determined daily on each day that the Exchange is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. The Fund calculates NAV per share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of the Fund.

 

 

Senior Loans, secured loans and senior secured loans (collectively “Loans”) are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Fund’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Collateralized Loan Obligation securities (“CLOs”) are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the evaluated mid-price of each of the CLOs. Corporate bonds and convertible bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Futures contracts, if any, are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day. To the extent current market quotations are not readily available, short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

 

In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair value determinations related to the Fund’s investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and periodic reporting requirements.

 

Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith by a committee of the Adviser (the “Fair Valued Asset Committee”) under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of a market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. A Fair Valued Asset Committee meeting may be called at any time by any member of the Fair Valued Asset Committee. The pricing of all Fair Valued Assets and determinations thereof shall be reported by the Adviser as valuation designee to the Board at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Fund has procedures to identify and investigate potentially stale or missing prices for investments which are valued using a nationally recognized pricing service, exchange price or broker-dealer quotations. After performing such procedures, any prices which are deemed to be stale are reviewed by the Fair Valued Asset Committee and an alternative pricing source is determined.

 

Various inputs are used to determine the value of BSL’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The categorization of a value determined for investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data due to decrease in market activity and information for these securities. Other securities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable inputs were available for purposes of valuing those assets.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes, and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the time of period end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Accretion of discount and amortization of premium, which are included in interest income, are accreted or amortized daily using the accrual basis interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

 

When the Fund sells a floating rate loan interest, it may pay an agency fee. The Fund earns facility and other fees on floating rate loan interests, and facility fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan. Consent and amendment fees are also recorded to income as earned.

 

NOTE 3. SENIOR AND SECURED FLOATING RATE LOANS

 

BSL defines “Senior Loans” as first lien senior secured, floating rate loans that are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrowers”), which operate in various industries and geographical regions. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of BSL’s Managed Assets (defined below) will be invested in Senior Loans. BSL defines “Managed Assets” as total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage used) minus the sum of BSL's accrued liabilities (other than liabilities related to the principal amount of leverage). At September 30, 2024, 93.17% of BSL’s Managed Assets were held in Senior Loans.

 

Senior secured loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, are secured with specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower.

 

 

Loans often require prepayment from Borrowers’ excess cash flows or permit the Borrowers’ to repay at their election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirements or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, floating rate loans typically have an expected average life of two to four years. Floating rate loans typically have rates of interest which are re-determined periodically, either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a floating base lending rate, primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (subject to the LIBOR transition as described below), plus a premium or credit spread.

 

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of LIBOR in 2017. Although many LIBOR rates ceased to be published or were no longer representative of the underlying market they sought to measure after December 31, 2021, a selection of widely used U.S. dollar LIBOR rates were published through June 30, 2023 in order to assist with the transition. Further, on March 15, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, was signed into law in the United States. This legislation establishes a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts that mature after June 30, 2023 that do not contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The U.S. Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has begun publishing SOFR, which is their preferred alternative rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, and which is a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Given the inherent differences between LIBOR and SOFR, or any other alternative benchmark rate that may be established, there remains uncertainty regarding the continued transition away from LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. Markets are in the process of developing in response to these new rates, and there has been no global consensus as to an alternative rate. There could be significant operational challenges which could affect the Fund’s performance for the continued transition away from LIBOR. The Fund and the Fund’s portfolio companies and/or obligors may need to amend or restructure the Fund’s existing LIBOR-based debt instruments and any related hedging arrangements, depending on the applicable LIBOR tenor. Such amendments and restructurings may be difficult, costly and time consuming. The Fund may invest, or remain invested, in floating rate loans and investment securities whose interest rates are indexed to LIBOR.

 

Loans are subject to the risk of payment defaults of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment could result in a reduction of income, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Risk of loss is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to the Fund in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.

 

Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loans except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a second lien loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Second lien loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the Borrower. At September 30, 2024, BSL had invested $6,255,580 in second lien secured loans. Second lien secured loans are not considered Senior Loans for BSL.

 

Loans can be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Loans may be similar to the risks of other below investment grade securities, although they are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated or unsecured. The Fund typically invests in Loans rated below investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the Borrowers. Such companies are more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Fund, and such defaults could reduce NAV and income distributions. The amount of public information available with respect to below investment grade loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part on, analyses performed by others. The Adviser’s established best execution procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by the Counterparty Committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by the Counterparty Committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets. The Counterparty Committee regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty based on the foregoing factors.

 

BSL may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. BSL typically acquires these Loans through assignment, and if BSL acquires a Loan through participation, it will seek to elevate a participation interest into an assignment as soon as practicably possible. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines which seek to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when BSL must acquire a Loan through a participation.

 

 

BSL has invested in CLO securities. A CLO is a financing company (generally called a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”)), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying a CLO are typically secured loans, the assets may also include (i) unsecured loans, (ii) debt securities that are rated below investment grade, and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in secured loans. When investing in CLOs, each fund will not invest in equity tranches, which are the lowest tranche. However, the Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLO debt securities, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior debt tranches of the CLO. In addition, the Fund intends to invest in CLOs consisting primarily of individual secured loans of Borrowers and not repackaged CLO obligations from other high-risk pools. The underlying secured loans purchased by CLOs are generally performing at the time of purchase but may become non-performing, distressed or defaulted. CLOs with underlying assets of non-performing, distressed or defaulted loans are not contemplated to comprise a significant portion of each fund’s investments in CLOs. The key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded solely for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this diversified asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place on a date earlier than legal maturity from refinancing of the senior debt tranches.

 

NOTE 4. GENERAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

As of September 30, 2024, BSL had unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, as detailed below:

 

Borrower  Par Value   Fair Value  

Unrealized

Appreciation /

(Depreciation)

 
Action Environmental Group, Inc., First Lien Term Loan  $123,240   $123,702   $462 
Ryan LLC., First Lien Term Loan   52,063    51,564    (499)
Epicor Software Corp., First Lien Term Loan   4,505    4,514    28 
Groundworks LLC., First Lien Term Loan   79,839    79,415    (43)
Total  $259,647   $259,195   $(52)

 

Unfunded loan commitments are marked to market on the relevant day of the valuation in accordance with BSL’s valuation policies. For the period ended September 30, 2024, BSL recorded a net increase in unrealized depreciation on unfunded loan commitments totaling $3,103.

 

NOTE 5. LEVERAGE

 

The Fund has entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a bank to borrow money pursuant to a two-year revolving line of credit (“Leverage Facility”) set to terminate in 2025, originally dated October 4, 2019, as amended on October 2, 2020, October 1, 2021, November 29, 2021, September 30, 2022, September 29, 2023, and September 27, 2024 as may be amended, restated, supplemented, or modified from time to time, to borrow up to a limit of $100 million, with $34 million for tranche A loans (“BSL Tranche A Loans”) and $66 million for tranche B loans (“BSL Tranche B Loans”). Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund.

 

Interest on the Fund's Leverage Facility is charged at a rate of 1.00% above adjusted term SOFR with respect to BSL Tranche A Loans, 1.30% above adjusted term SOFR for one (1) month interest period BSL Tranche B Loans and 1.20% above adjusted term SOFR for three (3) month interest period BSL Tranche B Loans, with adjusted term SOFR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such Loan at adjusted term SOFR (or the last date upon which any other Loan was converted to, or continued as, such Loan at adjusted term SOFR) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one (1), or three (3) months thereafter, as the Fund may elect, or such other periods as the lender may agree in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund must pay a commitment fee on any undrawn amounts. The commitment fee payable for each of BSL Tranche A Loans and BSL Tranche B Loans is 0.15% on the undrawn amounts when drawn amounts exceed 75% of the borrowing limit and 0.25% on the undrawn amounts at any other time. Interest and fees are generally payable at the end of the respective interest period. The Fund may elect to extend the Agreement for a further period with the consent of the lending bank. At September 30, 2024, BSL had borrowings outstanding under its Leverage Facility of $90,600,000, at an interest rate of 6.43%. Due to the short term nature of the Agreement, face value approximates fair value at September 30, 2024. This fair value is based on Level 2 inputs under the three-tier fair valuation hierarchy (see Note 2). For the period ended September 30, 2024, the average borrowings under BSL’s Leverage Facility and the weighted average interest rate were $90,585,401 and 6.54%, respectively. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $17,289 for commitment fees on undrawn amounts.

 

 

Under the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund has agreed to maintain asset coverage of three times over borrowings. Compliance with the investment restrictions and calculations are performed by the Fund’s custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund was in compliance with all required investment limitations and asset coverage requirements related to its leverage.

 

The use of borrowings to leverage the common shares of the Fund can create risks. Changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio, including securities bought with the proceeds of leverage, are borne entirely by the holders of common shares of the Fund. All costs and expenses related to any form of leverage used by the Fund are borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease or increase in the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the leverage may decrease or increase, as the case may be, the NAV per common share to a greater extent than if the Fund did not utilize leverage. During periods when the Fund is using leverage, the fees paid to the Adviser for advisory services and to ALPS for administrative services are higher than if the Fund did not use leverage because the fees paid are calculated on the basis of the Fund’s Managed Assets, which include the assets purchased through leverage. As of September 30, 2024, BSL’s leverage represented 32.03% of the Fund’s Managed Assets.
