Blackstone Closed-End Funds Declare Special Distributions

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --  Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC, formerly known as "GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC" and an affiliate of Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP, formerly known as "GSO Capital Partners LP" (collectively, and together with their affiliates in the credit-focused business of The Blackstone Group, Inc., "Blackstone Credit"), announced today a special distribution for each of the three listed closed-end funds it advises, Blackstone Senior Floating Rate Term Fund (NYSE: BSL), Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (NYSE: BGX), and Blackstone Strategic Credit Fund (NYSE: BGB) (each a "Fund" and together the "Funds"). These special distributions are in addition to each Fund's regular monthly distributions. The special distribution for each Fund is set forth below, and the following dates apply to the special distributions declared today:

These special distributions are payable in 2021 but will be treated as having been paid by the Funds and received by shareholders as of December 31, 2020.

A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund's year end. Each Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will define how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Funds anticipate these special distributions will be paid from ordinary income.
