3 “Loss Rate” is the quotient of (i) cumulative Realized Losses divided by (ii) cumulative Invested Capital, annualized by dividing such result by the number of years since 2007, as of December 31, 2024. Note: Loss performance pertains only to Antares Core Business Loans and Private Credit Composite Loans; Gains or losses associated with investments other than such loan positions, including without limitation, equity investment in borrowers (or their affiliates) other than equity positions received as part of a debt-to-equity conversion, and unrealized loans, are excluded.

4 Capital under management & administration (CUMA) figure noted here relates to the Private Credit and Liquid Credit Strategies. includes, without duplication, Antares Holdings (an affiliated, non-discretionary portfolio, also referred to as the “Platform Balance Sheet”), third-party managed vehicles, and contract investor programs and is calculated as the sum of: (i) for CLOs and the Platform Balance Sheet, the sum of total outstanding principal balance of loans and loan commitments, equity-related investments, cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents; excludes CLO structured financings in place for accounts included in (iii) below; (ii) for BDCs, third-party net subscriptions and target operating leverage; (iii) for actively investing advised accounts and contract investor programs, the total equity commitments and, with respect to actively investing advised accounts, maximum leverage limits per the applicable limited partnership agreement or other governing document of such accounts; and (iv) for advised accounts or contract investor programs that are no longer investing, total outstanding principal balance of loans and loan commitments held by such vehicles. For purposes of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), the target operating leverage and maximum leverage limits, respectively, included herein may be different from the actual amount of leverage applied in the case of any given account. Contract investor programs are not advised clients and are either self-directed or managed by a third party.
