Blackstone Private Credit Fund Declares Special Dividend

Blackstone Private Credit Fund (BCRED or the “Fund”) today announced that due to strong earnings and the positive impact from rising interest rates, its Board of Trustees has declared a special distribution of the Fund’s excess undistributed net investment income for each class of the Fund’s shares. The special distribution will be in the amount of $0.05 per share plus the estimated undistributed net investment income in excess of $0.05 per share available as of the record date of August 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”) and will be paid on or about September 1, 2022.
