The Funds declare a set of monthly distributions each quarter in amounts closely tied to the respective Fund's recent average monthly net income. As a result, the monthly distribution amounts for the Funds typically vary quarter-to-quarter, and shareholders of any Fund should not expect that Fund to continue to pay distributions in the same amounts shown above. The dynamic distribution strategy provides Blackstone Credit with greater flexibility to maintain portfolio credit quality in varying market conditions. In addition, the dynamic distribution strategy reduces the need to retain reserves from net investment income to support the stability of future distributions.
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.

Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund will take long positions in investments which it believes offer the potential for attractive returns under various economic and interest rate environments. BGX may also take short positions in investments which it believes will underperform due to a greater sensitivity to earnings growth of the issuer, default risk or the general level and direction of interest rates. It must hold no less than 70% of its Managed Assets in first and second lien secured loans (Secured Loans) but may also invest in unsecured loans and high-yield bonds. The Fund invests in various sectors, which include aerospace and defense, auto components, beverages, building products, and others. Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC serves as an investment advisor for the Fund.
