Oaktree Specialty Lending OCSL · USD

Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or together with its subsidiaries, where applicable, the Company, which may also be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our”, is a specialty finance company dedicated to providing customized, one-stop credit solutions to companies with limited access to public or syndicated capital markets. We were formed in late 2007 and currently operate as a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a Business Development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. In addition, we have qualified and elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or net realized capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders if we meet certain source-of-income, income distribution and asset diversification requirements.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by providing companies with flexible and innovative financing solutions, including first lien loans (which may include "unitranche" loans and "last out" first lien loans, which are loans that are second priority behind "first out" first lien loans), and second lien loans, unsecured and mezzanine loans, bonds, preferred equity and certain equity co-investments.
