Chicago and New York – March 30, 2026 – Antares Capital and Ares Management Corporation (“Ares”) (NYSE: ARES) today announced the closing of Antares’ second continuation vehicle with over $1.7 billion in commitments. The transaction was led by Ares Credit Secondaries funds, along with a commitment from Antares.

The continuation vehicle was established to purchase assets from a closed-end private credit fund comprising over 300 underlying first lien, floating rate loans originated and managed by Antares. In the current environment, where assets are being held longer, the transaction provides existing investors with an attractive liquidity option while offering new investors exposure to quality Antares-originated private credit assets. Antares will continue to manage the continuation vehicle and the underlying loans.

“This transaction reflects our continued commitment to delivering innovative liquidity solutions to private credit institutional investors,” said Vivek Mathew, president of Antares Capital Advisers. “Antares is pleased to once again partner with Ares and utilize the continuation vehicle structure to provide flexible, investor-focused solutions, while offering access to a mature, high-performing portfolio with healthy cash generation.”

“We are pleased to lead this continuation vehicle, our second with Antares in the past year, underscoring our ability to deliver creative liquidity solutions for leading GPs and their LPs in this dynamic market environment,” said Dave Schwartz, Head of Ares Credit Secondaries, and Luca Salvato, Partner at Ares. “This investment highlights the strength of our scaled capital base, disciplined approach to credit investing and deep experience across credit and secondaries.”

Evercore served as lead financial advisor on the transaction, with GreensLedge and Moelis & Company LLC also acting as financial advisors.
