(2)Provides for a feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to a maximum of $7,137 and $7,265, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. (3)Provides for a feature that allows ACJB (as defined below), under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the SMBC Funding Facility (as defined below) to a maximum of $1,000. (4)Represents the aggregate principal amount outstanding, less unamortized debt issuance costs and the net unaccreted/amortized discount or premium recorded upon issuance. In February 2023, the Company repaid in full the 2023 Notes (as defined below) upon their maturity. The weighted average stated interest rate and weighted average maturity, both on aggregate principal amount outstanding, of all the Company’s outstanding debt as of June 30, 2023 were 4.6% and 3.5 years, respectively, and as of December 31, 2022 were 4.2% and 3.6 years, respectively. Revolving Credit Facility The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), that allows the Company to borrow up to $4,758 at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $1,102 term loan tranche and a $3,656 revolving tranche. For $908 of the term loan tranche, the stated maturity date is April 19, 2028. For $116 of the term loan tranche, the stated maturity date is March 31, 2027. For $28 of the term loan tranche, the stated maturity date is March 31, 2026. For the remaining $50 of the term loan tranche, the stated maturity date is March 30, 2025. For $2,905 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are April 19, 2027 and April 19, 2028, respectively. For $494 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, respectively. For $107 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, respectively. For the remaining $150 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are March 30, 2024 and March 30, 2025, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $7,137. The Revolving Credit Facility generally requires payments of interest at the end of each SOFR interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on SOFR based loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. Subsequent to the end of the respective revolving periods and prior to the respective stated maturity dates, the Company is required to repay the relevant outstanding principal amounts under both the term loan tranche and revolving tranche on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of the outstanding principal amount at the end of the respective revolving periods. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities not representing indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) of not less than 1.5:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets (based on their value as determined pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility) that are pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $1,922 and $2,246 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of $250 with the ability to increase by an incremental $50 on an uncommitted basis. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $102 and $86, respectively, in letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any letters of credit issued. As of June 30, 2023, there was $2,734 available for borrowing (net of letters of credit issued) under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base restrictions. Since March 31, 2022, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (or an alternate rate of interest for certain loans, commitments and/or other extensions of credit denominated in Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros and certain other foreign currencies plus a spread adjustment, if applicable) and an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 1.875% or an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of 0.75% or 0.875%, in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the aggregate amount of revolving exposure and term loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and (b) 85% of the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility (or, if higher, the total revolving exposure) plus (ii) other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings to be made using one, three or six month SOFR. Prior to March 31, 2022, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (or an alternate rate of interest for certain loans, commitments and/or other extensions of credit denominated in Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros and certain other foreign currencies) plus an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 1.875% or an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of 0.75% or 0.875%, in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the aggregate amount of revolving exposure and term loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and (b) 85% of the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility (or, if higher, the total revolving exposure) plus (ii) other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the one, three and six month SOFR was 5.14%, 5.27% and 5.39%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the applicable spread in effect was 1.75%. In addition to the stated interest expense on the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.125% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in the Company’s portfolio and excludes investments held by Ares Capital CP under the Revolving Funding Facility, those held by ACJB under the SMBC Funding Facility and those held by AFB under the BNP Funding Facility, each as described below, and certain other investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the components of interest and credit facility fees expense, cash paid for interest expense, average stated interest rates (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

Letter of Credit Facility In May 2023, the Company and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (the “Issuer”) entered into an uncommitted continuing agreement (the “Letter of Credit Facility”), which allows the Issuer to issue letters of credit or demand guarantees, at the request of the Company, on behalf of certain portfolio companies. The Company is required to make payments to the Issuer if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. The Letter of Credit Facility is secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility and pursuant to substantially the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Issuer had $3 in letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. Revolving Funding Facility The Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), are party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the “Revolving Funding Facility”), that allows Ares Capital CP to borrow up to $1,775 at any one time outstanding.

The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding Facility are December 29, 2024 and December 29, 2026, respectively. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by Ares Capital CP. Ares Capital CP is also subject to limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, collateral interests and loans with fixed rates, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, all of which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and Ares Capital CP are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.
