Important Disclosure Information

Securities offered through Emerson Equity LLC Member: FINRA SIPC. Only available in states where Emerson Equity LLC is registered. Emerson Equity LLC is not affiliated with any other entities identified in this communication.

Summary of Risk Factors

Bain Capital Private Credit (“BCPC”) is a non-exchange traded business development company (“BDC”) that expects to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments (bonds and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private companies). This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in BCPC. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • We have no operating history and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives or investment strategy.
  • This is a “blind pool” offering and thus you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments before we make them.
  • You should not expect to be able to sell your shares regardless of how we perform.
  • You should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an extended period of time.
  • We do not intend to list our shares on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a secondary market in our shares to develop prior to any listing.
  • Because you may be unable to sell your shares, you will be unable to reduce your exposure in any market downturn.
  • We intend to implement a share repurchase program, but only a limited number of shares will be eligible for repurchase and repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions.
  • An investment in our Common Shares is not suitable for you if you need access to the money you invest. See “Suitability Standards” and “Share Repurchase Program” in the prospectus.
  • We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, or return of capital, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
  • Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary fee waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Advisor or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to the Advisor or its affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.
  • We expect to use leverage, which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in us.
  • We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirement applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Shares less attractive to investors.
  • We may invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid and difficult to value.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any reference to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This sales material must be read in conjunction with the BCPC prospectus in order to fully understand all the implications and risks of an investment in BCPC. This sales material is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. An offering is made only under BCPC’s registration statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and only by means of the prospectus, which must be made available to you prior to making a purchase of shares. Investors are advised to carefully consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of BCPC before investing. A copy of the prospectus containing this and other information about BCPC and can be obtained from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and at www.baincapitalprivatecredit.com. You are advised to obtain a copy of the prospectus and to carefully review the information contained or incorporated by reference therein before making any investment decision, including the “Risk Factors” section therein, which contains a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition.

No Operating History. BCPC is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. There can be no assurance that the results achieved by similar strategies managed by the Advisor or its affiliates will be achieved for BCPC. Past performance should not be relied upon as an indication of future results. Moreover, BCPC is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that it will not achieve its investment objective and that the value of an investor’s investment could decline substantially or that the investor will suffer a complete loss of its investment in BCPC.

The words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to BCPC, unless the context requires otherwise.
