Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 17, 2024, HPS Corporate Lending Fund (the “

Fund

”) entered into a Commitment Increase Agreement (the “

Commitment Increase Agreement

”) among the Fund, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as the increasing lender (the “

Increasing Lender

”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to the Fund’s Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2022, among the Fund, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended and supplemented, the “

Revolving Credit Facility

”).

The Commitment Increase Agreement provides for an increase in the Increasing Lender’s commitment, thereby bringing aggregate commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,275,000,000 to $1,300,000,000 through the accordion feature in the Revolving Credit Facility. The accordion feature in the Revolving Credit Facility allows the Fund, under certain circumstances, to increase the total size of the facility to a maximum aggregate commitment of $1,912,500,000.
