Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.

If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports.

Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

20 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2019 Unaudited
1. Organization
OFI Carlyle Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust in the State of Delaware on December 13, 2017. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value.
The Fund’s investment adviser, OC Private Capital, LLC (“OC Private Capital” or the “Adviser”), a joint venture between an affiliate of Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") and Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“Carlyle”), has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The Adviser has, in turn, entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM” or “Sub-Adviser”)(a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle), whereby OC Private Capital oversees the allocation of the Fund’s assets to its underlying credit strategies, and the Sub-Adviser sources and makes investment decisions within each strategy. Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Fund's shares.
The Fund offers Class A, Class I, Class L, and Class Y shares. Effective April 18, 2019, the Fund offers Class N shares. The Fund's Shares are offered on a monthly basis. Shares are sold at their offering price equal to the Fund's then-current net asset value plus any applicable sales charge. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications directly attributable to that class. Class A, L, and Y have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class N do not pay such fees.
The Fund seeks to produce current income by opportunistically allocating its assets across a wide range of credit strategies.
The Fund’s shares are offered for sale monthly through its Distributor at the then-current net asset value ("NAV") plus any applicable sales load. The price of the shares during the Fund’s continuous offering will fluctuate over time with the NAV of the shares. The sales load payable by each investor depends upon the amount invested by the investor in the Fund, but may range from 0.00% to 3.50%.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946Financial Services- Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund's preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
21 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2019 Unaudited Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis for Consolidation. The Fund has established a limited liability company, OCPC Credit Facility SPV LLC, which is wholly owned and controlled by the Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Adviser. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is a disregarded entity for tax purposes.
The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
During the period and at period end, the Fund owned 100% of the Subsidiary.
Other financial information of the Subsidiary during the period and at period end include:
Total market value of investments | $129,592,113 |

Net income (loss) | $4,567,201 |
Net realized gain (loss) | $44,300 |
Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation | $948,122 |
Foreign Currency Translation.The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly or at other times as determined necessary by the Advisor.
Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily using the effective interest method.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate set on a periodic basis by the custodian for each currency at its sole discretion, taking into account market conditions and other relevant commercial considerations. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the partnerships and non-deductible expenses adjustments.
Federal tax cost of securities | $173,871,939 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | $776,218 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (3,937,313) |
Net unrealized depreciation | $(3,161,095) |
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2018-13 which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management has elected to early adopt the amendments that allow for removal of certain disclosure requirements and plans to adopt the amendments that require additional fair value measurement disclosures upon the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these changes on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Securities Valuation
As an interval fund, the Fund is required to calculate a NAV on at least a weekly basis and at each month-end date (each NAV calculation date herein referred to as the "Valuation Date"). The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each Valuation Date, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
24 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Adviser. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary. The Sub-Adviser shall provide assistance to the Adviser and the Board with respect to the valuation of the Fund’s assets; the Adviser and the Board are responsible for the accuracy, reliability and completeness of any market or fair market valuation determinations made with respect to the Fund’s assets.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
The Adviser values securities traded in active markets on the valuation date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held.
The Adviser values liquid securities that are not traded in an active market using a mid-price determined by an approved independent pricing vendor. Standard inputs considered by independent pricing vendors for structured finance obligations include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors. Standard inputs generally considered by independent pricing vendors for loans include information obtained from market participants regarding broker-dealer price quotations.
The Fund expects that it will hold a high proportion of illiquid investments relative to its total investments, which is directly related to the Fund’s investment philosophy and target portfolio. The Board has engaged independent valuation firms to assist in fair valuing the Fund’s illiquid investments on at least a monthly basis. Any retained independent valuation firm will have expertise in complex valuations associated with alternative investments and utilize a variety of techniques to calculate a security’s valuation. The valuation approach may vary by security but may include comparable public market valuations, comparable transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment (e.g., operating results, financial condition, achievement of milestones, economic and/or market events and recent sales prices) may be considered.
Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an approved independent pricing vendor or valuation firm, or where valuations are determined to be inaccurate as a result of a significant event that has occurred, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) by a Valuation Committee determination using all available information at its disposal. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can realize the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the
25 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
security. If the Adviser reasonably believes a valuation from an independent valuation firm or pricing vendor is inaccurate or unreliable, the Adviser's Valuation Committee will consider an "override" of the particular valuation. The Valuation Committee will consider all available information at its disposal prior to making a valuation determination. The Valuation Committee is made up of individuals affiliated with Invesco.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser regularly compares prices from the prior valuation date and sale prices to the current day prices and validates those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the independent valuation vendor or firm. For those securities valued by a fair valuation, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
Classifications
ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same—to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristic specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.
The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:
1) Level 1-inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 generally include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
2) Level 2-inputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. The type of financial instruments in this category generally includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, securities with recent observable market transactions, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.
26 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
3) Level 3-inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category generally include investments in privately held entities, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Fund was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Fund has recorded it.
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Investments at period end based on valuation input level:

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in determining fair value measurements for those investments classified as Level 3 at period end:
| Value as of June 30, 2019 | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range of Unobservable Inputs | |

Collateralized Loan Obligations | $18,402,392 | Third Party Pricing Service | Discount Margin | N/A | |
Total | $111,078,117 | | | | |
The significant unobservable inputs used by a third-party pricing service in the fair value measurement of the Fund's investments in collateralized loan obligations are discount margins. The Adviser periodically reviews pricing vendor methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Significant increases in discount margins would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in common stock are enterprise value multiples. Significant decreases in enterprise value multiples would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in corporate loans are discount rates and broker quotes. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant increases in a broker quote would cause significant increases in the fair value measurement.
4. Investments and Risks
Loans. The Fund invests in loans, either through primary issuances or in secondary transactions, including potentially on a synthetic basis. The value of the Fund’s loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations. There can be no assurance that the value assigned by the Advisers can be realized upon liquidation, nor can there be any assurance that any related collateral will retain its value. Furthermore, circumstances could arise (such as in the bankruptcy of a borrower) that could cause the Fund’s security interest in the loan’s collateral to be invalidated. Also, much of the collateral
29 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2019 Unaudited Continued
4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
will be subject to restrictions on transfer intended to satisfy securities regulations, which will limit the number of potential purchasers if the Fund intends to liquidate such collateral. The amount realizable with respect to a loan may be detrimentally affected if a guarantor, if any, fails to meet its obligations under a guarantee. Finally, there may be a monetary, as well as a time cost involved in collecting on defaulted loans and, if applicable, taking possession of various types of collateral.
Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). The Fund invests in CLOs, which are commonly issued in multiple tranches often categorized as senior, mezzanine and subordinated/equity according to their degree of risk. CLOs present risks similar to those of other types of debt obligations and such risks may be of greater significance in the case of CLOs depending upon the Fund’s ranking in the capital structure. In certain cases, losses may equal the total amount of the Fund’s principal investment. CLO securities carry additional risks, including: (1) the possibility that distributions from collateral assets will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (2) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (3) investments in CLO equity and junior debt tranches will likely be subordinate in right of payment to other senior classes of CLO debt; and (4) the complex structure of a particular security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results, especially during times of market stress or volatility.
Securities on a When-Issued or Forward Commitment Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell securities on a “forward commitment" basis to acquire the security or to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and prices. When such transactions are negotiated, the price is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. When-issued securities and forward commitments may be sold prior to the settlement date, but the Fund will enter into when-issued and forward commitments only with the intention of actually receiving or delivering the securities, as the case may be. If the Fund disposes of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or disposes of its right to deliver or receive against a forward commitment, it might incur a gain or loss. There is always a risk that the securities may not be delivered and that the Fund may incur a loss.
Settlements in the ordinary course, which may take substantially more than five business days, are not treated by the Fund as when-issued or forward commitment transactions. The settlements of secondary market purchases of senior loans in the ordinary course, on a settlement date beyond the period expected by loan market participants are subject to delayed compensation. Furthermore, the purchase of a senior loan in the secondary market is typically negotiated and finalized pursuant to a binding trade confirmation, and therefore, the risk of non-delivery of the security to the Fund is reduced or eliminated when compared with such risk when investing in when-issued or forward commitment securities.
30 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.
Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may make investments in non-U.S. entities, including issuers in emerging markets. The Fund expects that its investment in non-U.S. issuers will be made primarily in U.S. dollar denominated securities, but it reserves the right to purchase securities that are foreign currency denominated. Some non-U.S. securities may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Shareholder Concentration. Related parties owned approximately 89% of the Fund's total outstanding shares at period end. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the Adviser and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees.
5. Market Risk Factors
The Fund’s investments in securities may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the borrower under an instrument to make interest and principal payments as they become due. The Fund’s investments in loans and other debt instruments are subject to risk of missing an interest and/or principal payment.
Credit Spread Risk.Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects below-investment-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of below-investment-grade and unrated securities.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued
31 OFI CARLYLE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2019 Unaudited Continued
5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)
fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Prepayment Risk.Prepayment risk relates to the early repayment of principal on a loan or debt security. Loans are generally callable at any time, and certain loans may be callable at any time at no premium to par. Having the loan or other debt instrument called early may have the effect of reducing the Fund’s actual investment income below its expected investment income if the capital returned cannot be invested in transactions with equal or greater yields.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
6. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. The Fund's shares are offered on a monthly basis. As the Fund is an interval fund, it, subject to applicable law, will conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") at NAV. In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is likely that the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding Shares. It is also possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management & Incentive Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee calculated and payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's consolidated month-end net asset value.
Additionally, under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser an incentive fee. The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Fund’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter, and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s Net Assets, equal to 1.50% per quarter (or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.00%), subject to a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income, income generated from original issue discounts, payment-in-kind income, and any other income earned or accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses (which, for this purpose shall not include any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, litigation, any extraordinary expenses or Incentive Fee) for the quarter. For purposes of the Incentive Fee, net assets are calculated for the relevant quarter as the weighted average of the net asset value of the Fund as of the first business day of each month therein. The weighted average net asset value shall be calculated for each month by multiplying the net asset value as of the beginning of the first business day of the month times the number of days in that month, divided by the number of days in the applicable calendar quarter. There is no incentive fee charged on realized or unrealized capital gains. The calculation of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:
No incentive fee is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, does not exceed the quarterly hurdle rate of 1.50%; 100% of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.875% (7.50% annualized). This portion of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.875% is referred to as the “catch-up”.
The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Fund’s quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 1.875% of Net Assets. Lastly, 20% of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, exceeds 1.875% (7.50% annualized). As a result, once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser.
Incentive fees of $1,132,189 were earned by the Adviser for the period ended June 30, 2019.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Adviser has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments equal to 40% of the investment management fee collected by the Adviser from the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Adviser, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees.Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on various factors, including number of accounts and filings. Fees incurred with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to May 25, 2019, OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. served as the Transfer Agent.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.The Transfer Agent has retained DST Systems, Inc. (the "Sub-Transfer Agent") to serve as the Fund's distribution paying agent, sub-transfer agent and registrar. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not the Fund.
Offering and Organizational Costs.The Adviser paid on behalf of the Fund all initial offering and organizational invoices associated with the registration and seeding of the Fund received prior to the commencement of operations of the Fund, in accordance with the Expense Limitation Agreement discussed below. Organizational costs are expensed as incurred and initial offering costs are amortized over a twelve month period beginning on the date that the Fund commenced operations.
Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan Fees. Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") serves as the Fund's principal underwriter and acts as the Distributor of the Fund's shares on a best efforts basis. The Fund intends to offer its shares, on a continual basis, through the Distributor. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") for the outstanding shares to compensate the Distributor for distributing the shares, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual distribution and shareholder service plan fee of up to 0.85% of its average monthly net assets. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to May 25, 2019, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. served as the Distributor.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Adviser and the Fund have entered into the Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Adviser has agreed contractually for a one-year period to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s initial organizational and offering costs, as well as the Fund’s operating expenses on a monthly basis to the extent that the Fund’s total annualized fund operating expenses (excluding (i) expenses directly related to the costs of making investments, including interest and structuring costs for borrowing and line(s) of credit, taxes, brokerage costs, the Fund’s

proportionate share of expenses related to co-investments, litigation and other unusual and infrequent expenses, (ii) Incentive Fees and (iii) any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees) in respect of the relevant month exceed 2.00% of the Fund’s month-end net asset value (the “Expense Limitation”). In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any waived management fees and Fund expenses reimbursed subject to the limitation that reimbursement will be made only if and to the extent that: (i) it is payable not more than three years from the date on which the applicable waiver or expense payment was made by the Adviser, and (ii) the Adviser reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (on an annualized basis and net of any Adviser reimbursements received by the Fund during such fiscal year) during the applicable quarter to exceed the Expense Limitation or another expense limitation in place at that time. As of June 30, 2019, the estimated amount subject to reimbursement to the Adviser under the agreement was $2,583,356, of which $808,262 relates to waivers and reimbursements incurred during the current period.
The following amounts are eligible for recovery at June 30, 2019: $910,188 for Class A, $1,632,760 for Class I, $10,911 for Class L, $2,639 for Class N and for Class Y $26,858.
9. Borrowings and Other Financing
Borrowings. The Fund can borrow money from financial institutions in amounts up to one third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings (meaning that the value of those assets must be at least 300% of the amount borrowed). The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing portfolio securities. The Fund also may borrow to meet repurchase obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. When the Fund invests borrowed money in portfolio securities, it is using a speculative investment technique known as leverage and changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its NAV than if it did not borrow because of the effect of leverage.
The Fund will pay interest and may pay other fees in connection with borrowings. If the Fund does borrow, it will be subject to greater expenses than funds that do not borrow. The interest on borrowed money and the other fees incurred in conjunction with loans are an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield and return. Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to interest on borrowings and related fees are disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Fund via the Subsidiary has entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Societe Generale which enables it to participate in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to $150 million, subject to change as the parties may agree from time to time. To secure the loan, the Subsidiary pledges investment securities and/or cash in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Fund is the guarantor of the loan. Interest is charged to the Subsidiary, based on its outstanding borrowings, at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a defined spread. Additionally, an ongoing commitment fee is paid based on a defined rate on the unused commitment amount. Total fees and interest related to its

9. Borrowings and Other Financing (Continued)
participation in the borrowing facility during the reporting period equal 1.41% of the Fund's average net assets on an annualized basis. The Fund has the right to prepay such loans at any time. The scheduled maturity date of the borrowing facility is June 28, 2021.
At period end, the Fund had borrowings outstanding at an interest rate of 3.685%.
Details of the borrowings for the reporting period are as follows:
Average Outstanding Loan Balance Under the Facility | $36,859,224 |
Average Interest Rate of Outstanding Loan Balance (including the effect of commitment fees) | 4.2269% |
Loan Commitments. Pursuant to the terms of certain credit agreements, the Fund has unfunded loan commitments of $2,545,185 at period end. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian cash and/or liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the par value of unfunded loan commitments. At period end, these commitments have a fair value of $2,497,912 and have been included as First Lien Debt in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.
10. Acquisition
On May 24, 2019 (“Transaction Date”), Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), an indirect corporate parent of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), sold OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including OFI Global Institutional, Inc.) to Invesco, a leading independent global investment management company. In turn, MassMutual and OFI's employee shareholders received a combination of common and preferred equity consideration and MassMutual became a significant shareholder in Invesco.
Also, effective on or about the Transaction Date, the independent registered public accounting firm that was previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Fund's financial statements, Ernst & Young LLP, has resigned as auditor for the Fund. Ernst & Young LLP's decision to resign as auditor for the Fund was based upon independence concerns in light of the Transaction due to its pre-existing relationship with Invesco and not based upon any issues related to the Fund's audit.
11. Subsequent Event
Effective August 9, 2019, Kamal Bhatia has resigned as Trustee and President and Principal Executive Officer of the Fund. Rohit Vohra has been elected President and Principal Executive Officer of the Fund by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Mark Garbin has been elected as interim Chairman of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited
The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines whereby it has delegated the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Fund (“portfolio proxies”) to the Fund's Sub-Adviser as part of the Sub-Adviser's general management of the Fund's portfolio, subject to the continuing oversight of the Board. The Sub-Adviser votes portfolio proxies in accordance with its proxy voting policies and procedures, which are reviewed periodically by the Sub-Adviser and the Independent Trustees and, accordingly, are subject to change.
The right to vote a portfolio proxy is an asset of the Fund. The Sub-Adviser acts as a fiduciary of the Fund and must vote portfolio proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. As part of this duty, the Sub-Adviser recognizes that it must vote portfolio proxies in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in what it perceives to be the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. To ensure that the vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, the Sub-Adviser requires that: (1) anyone involved in the decision making process disclose to the Sub-Adviser’s investment committee, any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how the Sub-Adviser intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.
The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting decisions will be made by its investment committee. The Sub-Adviser will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by the Fund. Although the Sub-Adviser will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on Fund portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons to do so.
The Fund and Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures collectively describe how the Fund votes portfolio proxies. A summary description of the Fund and Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at (833) 677-3646, and (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund’s voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at (833) 677-3646, and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter and the third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Those forms may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
