1. ORGANIZATION

Lord Abbett Credit Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its common shares (the "Shares") and is operated as an interval fund. The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 18, 2018. The Fund had a sale to Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC ("Lord Abbett") of 10,000 shares of common stock for $100,000 ($10.00 per share). The Fund commenced operations on February 15, 2019.

The Fund's investment objective is total return. The Fund currently offers three classes of Shares: Institutional Class, Class A and Class U. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the net asset value ("NAV") for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of Institutional Class and Class U shares. The Fund also invests in the Lord Abbett Private Credit Fund 1, LP, ("PCF") which is a limited partnership available only to the Fund and certain other investment companies managed by Lord Abbett.

The Fund will not list its Shares for trading on any securities exchange. There is currently no secondary market for its Shares and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for its Shares. Shareholders of the Fund are not able to have their Shares redeemed or otherwise sell their Shares on a daily basis because the Fund is an unlisted closed-end fund. In order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund is structured as an interval fund and conducts quarterly repurchase offers for a portion of its outstanding Shares.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Investment Valuation-Under procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), the Board has designated the determination of fair value of the Fund's portfolio investments to Lord Abbett as its valuation designee. Accordingly, Lord Abbett is responsible for, among other things, assessing and managing valuation risks, establishing, applying and testing fair value methodologies, and evaluating pricing services. Lord Abbett has formed a Pricing Committee that performs these responsibilities on behalf of Lord Abbett, administers the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and ensures that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow Lord Abbett, subject to Board oversight, to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities actively traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign

22

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Pricing Committee uses a third-party fair valuation service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that correlate to the fair-valued securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices. Investments in the PCF are valued at the most recent monthly NAV. Fixed income securities are valued based on evaluated prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and the independent pricing services' own electronic data processing techniques. Floating rate loans are valued at the average of bid and ask quotations obtained from dealers in loans on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Swaps are valued daily using independent pricing services or quotations from broker/dealers to the extent available.
Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use observable inputs such as yield curves, broker quotes, observable trading activity, option adjusted spread models and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof periodically reviews reports that may include fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee, related market activity, inputs and assumptions, and retrospective comparison of prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.
Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.
(b) Security Transactions-Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.
(c) Investment Income-Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method and are included in Interest and other, if applicable, in the Statement of Operations. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.
(d) Income Taxes-It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.
The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund's filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023. The statutes of limitations on the Fund's state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the Fund's jurisdiction.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

(e) Expenses-Expenses, excluding class-specific expenses, are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. Class A and Class U shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Fund's Distribution and Servicing Plan.
(f) Foreign Transactions-The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Fund's records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted daily to reflect current exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Fund's Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions, if applicable, are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions in the Fund's Statement of Operations. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices of the securities.
The Fund uses foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
(g) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts-The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings, or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely for investment purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Fund's Statement of Operations. The gain (loss) arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the forward foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contracts is included, if applicable, in Net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Fund's Statement of Operations.
(h) Futures Contracts-The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to economically hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called "initial margin." Subsequent payments made or received by the Fund called "variation margin" are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract.
(i) Credit Default Swap Contracts-The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts in order to hedge credit risk or for speculation purposes. As a seller of a credit default swap contract ("seller of protection"), the Fund is required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.

24

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract ("buyer of protection"), the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contracts, provided no event of default has occurred.
These credit default swap contracts may have as a reference obligation corporate or sovereign issuers or credit indexes. These credit indexes are comprised of a basket of securities representing a particular sector of the market.
Credit default swap contracts are fair valued based upon quotations from counterparties, brokers or market-makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. For a credit default swap contract sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed-upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap contract purchased by the Fund, the agreed-upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.
Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap contract and recorded as realized gains or losses. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian bank or broker in accordance with the swap contract agreement. The value and credit rating of each credit default swap contract where the Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap contract. As the value of the swap contract changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap contract agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap contract agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Entering into credit default swap contracts involves credit and market risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, and that Lord Abbett does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap contract is based. For the centrally cleared credit default swap contracts, there was minimal counterparty risk to the Fund, since such credit default swap contracts entered into were traded through a central clearinghouse, which guarantees against default.
(j) Repurchase Agreements-The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. The Fund requires at all times that the repurchase

25

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

agreement be collateralized by cash, or by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the fair value of these securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.
(k) When-Issued, Forward Transactions or To-Be-Announced ("TBA") Transactions-The Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued, forward transactions or TBA transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities, with payment and delivery ("settlement") to take place in the future, in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield at the time of entering into the transaction. During the period between purchase and settlement, the fair value of the securities will fluctuate and assets consisting of cash and/or marketable securities (normally short-term U.S. Government or U.S. Government sponsored enterprise securities) marked to market daily in an amount sufficient to make payment at settlement will be segregated at the Fund's custodian in order to pay for the commitment. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction and reflect the liability for the purchase and fair value of the security in determining its NAV. The Fund, generally, has the ability to close out a purchase obligation on or before the settlement date rather than take delivery of the security. Under no circumstances will settlement for such securities take place more than 120 days after the purchase date.
(l) Reverse Repurchase Agreements-The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to a securities dealer or bank for cash and also agrees to repurchase the same security later at a set price. Reverse repurchase agreements expose the Fund to credit risk (that is, the risk that the counterparty will fail to resell the security to the Fund). Engaging in reverse repurchase agreements also may involve the use of leverage, in that the Fund may reinvest the cash it receives in additional securities. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
(m) Floating Rate Loans-The Fund may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the "Borrower") in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the "Agent") for a group of loan investors ("Loan Investors"). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. The Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").
The loans in which the Fund invests may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, the Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower

26

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

prior to the sale of these investments. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower ("Intermediate Participants"). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.
Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Until demanded by the Borrower, unfunded commitments are not recognized as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments is presented, if any, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents mark to market of the unfunded portion of the Fund's floating rate notes.
As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any unfunded loan commitments.
(n) Total Return Swap Contracts-The Fund may enter into total return swap contract agreements to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market. The Fund may agree to make payments that are the equivalent of interest in exchange for the right to receive payments equivalent to any appreciation in the value of an underlying security, index or other asset, as well as receive payments equivalent to any distributions made on that asset, over the term of the swap contract. If the value of the asset underlying a total return swap contract declines over the term of the swap contract, the Fund also may be required to pay an amount equal to that decline in value to its counterparty.
(o) Fair Value Measurements-Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk - for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement, and is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
● Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;
● Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
● Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

27

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

A summary of inputs used in valuing the Fund's investments and other financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the six months then ended is included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
3. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fee

The Fund has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett provides the Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of the Fund's investment portfolio. The management fee is accrued daily and payable monthly.

The management fee is based on the Fund's average daily net assets at an annual rate of 1.25%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective management fee, net of any applicable waiver, was at an annualized rate of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to the Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of .04% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The fund administration fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. Lord Abbett voluntarily waived $18,285 of fund administration fees during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and continuing through June 30, 2025, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and, if necessary, waive all or a portion of its administrative fee and reimburse the Fund's other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total net annual operating expenses for each class excluding certain of the Fund's expenses, do not exceed an annual rate of 1.50%.

This agreement may be terminated only upon the approval of the Board.

Distribution and Servicing Plan

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan for Class A shares and Class U shares of the Fund, which provides for the payment of ongoing distribution and service fees to Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. The distribution and service fees are accrued daily and payable monthly.

The following annual rates have been authorized by the Board pursuant to the plan:

Fees* Class A Class U
Service .25 % .25 %
Distribution .50 % .50 %
* The Fund may designate a portion of the aggregate fees as attributable to service activities for purposes of calculating Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. sales charge limitations.

Institutional Class does not have a distribution plan.

Distributor

The Distributor is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund's Shares pursuant to a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with the Fund. The Distributor is a

28

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

wholly-owned subsidiary of Lord Abbett. The Distributor does not participate in the distribution of non-Lord Abbett managed products.

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX INFORMATION

Dividends are paid from net investment income, if any. Capital gain distributions are paid from taxable net realized gains from investments transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows:

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:

Purchases Sales
$1,481,823,022 $1,099,771,563

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024

The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities ("cross-trade") from and to other Lord Abbett funds or client accounts pursuant to procedures approved by the Board in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the "Rule"). Each cross-trade is executed at a fair market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not engage in cross-trade purchases or sales.

6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (as described in Note 2(g)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces the Fund's exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver (or settle in cash) and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive (or settle in cash) for the duration of the contract. The Fund's use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and the Fund's returns could be reduced as a result. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (as described in Note 2(i)) to economically hedge credit risk. Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security in the event of a defined credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy. Under a credit default swap contract, one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par if the defined credit event occurs. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since centrally cleared credit default swaps are traded through a central clearinghouse.

30

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

As the counterparty to all centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearinghouse guarantees credit default swaps against default.

As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had the following derivatives at fair value, grouped into risk categories that illustrate the Fund's use of derivative instruments:

7. DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The FASB requires disclosures intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund's financial position. The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by the counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between a fund and a counterparty which provides for the net settlement of amounts owed under all contracts traded under that agreement, as well as cash collateral, through a single payment by one party to the other in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. The Fund's accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the

31

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the master netting agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty:

8. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION

The Fund's officers and one Trustee, who are associated with Lord Abbett, do not receive any compensation from the Fund for serving in such capacities. From January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024, independent Trustees' fees were allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds based on the net assets of each fund. There was an equity based plan available to all Independent Trustees under which Independent Trustees could elect to defer receipt of a portion of Trustees' fees. The

32

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

deferred amounts were treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in the Fund. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Trustees' fees in the Statement of Operations and in Trustees' fees payable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

On June 28, 2024, effective July 5, 2024, shareholders of the Fund elected new Trustees for the Fund and certain other Lord-Abbett-sponsored closed-end funds and the then-current Trustees resigned. Effective July 5, 2024, Independent Trustees' fees are allocated among these certain Lord Abbett-sponsored closed-end funds based on the net assets of each fund.

9. LINE OF CREDIT

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the "Participating Funds") were party to a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.6 billion (the "Syndicated Facility") under which State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB") participated as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of fund net assets (if fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, $700 million, or $1 billion, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Participating Funds were also party to an additional uncommitted line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the "Bilateral Facility"). Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of fund net assets (if fund net assets are less than $750 million), or $250 million based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

These credit facilities are to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as additional sources of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not utilize the Syndicated Facility or Bilateral Facility. Effective August 1, 2024, the Fund ceased being party to the Syndicated Facility and Bilateral Facility.

10. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT

SSB is the Fund's custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating the Fund's NAV.

11. SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT

The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. for the lending of securities to qualified brokers in exchange for securities or cash collateral equal to at least the market value of securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Cash collateral is invested in an approved money market fund. In accordance with the Fund's securities lending agreement, the market value of securities on loan is determined each day at the close of business and any additional collateral required to cover the value of securities on loan is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or the borrower becomes insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Any income earned from securities lending is included in Securities lending net income on the Statement of Operations.

33

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral must be marked-to-market daily to cover increases in the market value of the securities loaned (or potentially a decline in the value of the collateral). In general, the risk of borrower default will be borne by Citibank, N.A.; the Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Fund continues to receive income on loaned securities while receiving a portion of any securities lending fees and earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities.

As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.

12. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS

The Fund intends to obtain exposure to less liquid or illiquid private credit investments, generally involving corporate borrowers, through their investments in pooled investment vehicles, including those managed by Lord Abbett ("underlying fund"). Typically, private credit investments are not traded in public markets and are illiquid, such that an underlying fund may not be able to dispose of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years, or at the price at which the underlying fund is valuing its investments. An underlying fund will also be illiquid, and the Fund incurs two layers of fees, with Lord Abbett potentially receiving a management fee at both levels. An underlying fund may, from time to time or over time, focus its private credit investments in a particular industry or sector or select industries or sectors. Investment performance of such industries or sectors may thus at times have an out-sized impact on the performance of an underlying fund or the Fund indirectly. Additionally, private credit investments can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuer's cash flows, the size of the issuer, the quality of assets securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject company's debt obligations. The issuers of the underlying fund's private credit investment will often be leveraged, often as a result of leveraged buyouts or other recapitalization transactions, and often will not be rated by national credit rating agencies.

The Fund's investment in PCF is subject to restrictions on transfer and the Fund currently has no redemption rights. There will be no trading market for the Fund's investments in the PCF. The Schedule of Investments lists the PCF as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of the PCF. The Fund indirectly bears the proportionate share of the expenses of the PCF. The annualized expense ratio for the PCF for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 20.86% consisting of interest and borrowing costs of 20.16% and net operating expenses of 0.70%.

The Fund had the following transactions with the PCF during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Value at
12/31/2023 		Contributions Withdrawals Net
Realized
Gain (Loss 		) Net Change in

(Depreciation 		) Value at
6/30/2024 		Dividend
Income
- 20,194,175 - - - 20,194,175 $ 277,622

The Fund has an unfunded commitment to make investments in the PCF at a future date in the amount of $239,805,825 at period end. This unfunded commitment is not recognized as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end.

34

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

13. REPURCHASE OFFERS

In order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund has adopted a fundamental investment policy to make quarterly offers to repurchase its outstanding Shares at NAV per share, reduced by any applicable repurchase fee. Subject to applicable law and approval of the Board, for each quarterly repurchase offer, the Fund currently expects to offer to repurchase 5% of the Fund's outstanding Shares at NAV, which is the minimum amount permitted. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the results of the repurchase offers were as follows:

Repurchase
Request
Deadline 		Repurchase
Pricing
Date 		Amount
Repurchased 		Number of
Shares
Repurchased
(all classes) 		Percentage of
Outstanding
Shares
Repurchased
January 24, 2024 January 24, 2024 $ 37,944,418 4,273,020 2.28%
April 24, 2024 April 24, 2024 $ 46,347,043 5,225,146 2.55%
July 24, 2024 July 24, 2024 $ 55,499,311 6,173,264 2.90%

Repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund's investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), may limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective and will tend to increase the Fund's expense ratio per common share for remaining shareholders. The Fund may accumulate cash by holding back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Fund's investments. If at any time cash and other liquid assets held by the Fund are not sufficient to meet the Fund's repurchase obligations, the Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments. If the Fund employs investment leverage, repurchases of Shares would compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market. Also, if the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their Shares by increasing the Fund's expenses and reducing any net investment income.

If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Board may determine to increase the amount repurchased by up to 2% of the Fund's outstanding shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined in the Fund's Prospectus). In the event that the Board determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if shareholders tender more than the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Fund's outstanding shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request. Consequently, shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer. Some shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more Shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarter, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur. A shareholder may be subject to market and other risks, and the NAV of Shares tendered in a repurchase offer may decline between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the date on which the NAV for tendered Shares is determined. In addition, the repurchase of Shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders, potentially including even shareholders who do not tender any Shares in such repurchase.

35

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

14. INVESTMENT RISKS

The Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with investing in debt securities and to the changing prospects of individual companies and/or sectors in which the Fund invests. The value of an investment will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. For many fixed income securities, market risk is significantly, but not necessarily exclusively, influenced by changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates typically causes a decrease in the value of investments in bonds and other debt securities, while a fall in rates typically causes an increase in value. Equity securities have experienced significantly more volatility in returns than fixed income securities over the long term, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. There is also the risk that an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to the Fund, a risk that is greater with high-yield securities (sometimes called "lower-rated bonds" or "junk bonds"), in which the Fund may substantially invest. Some issuers, particularly of high-yield securities, may default as to principal and/or interest payments after the Fund purchases its securities. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in the risk of default, may result in losses to the Fund. High-yield securities are subject to greater price fluctuations, as well as additional risks. The market for below investment grade securities may be less liquid, which may make such securities more difficult to sell at an acceptable price, especially during periods of financial distress, increased market volatility, or significant market decline.

Certain instruments in which the Fund has invested have historically relied upon London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies. Markets in these new rates are developing, but questions around liquidity and how to appropriately mitigate any economic value transfer as a result of the transition remain a concern. The Federal Reserve Board effectively automatically replaced the U.S. dollar LIBOR benchmark rate in such contracts, as of June 30, 2023, with SOFR.

The Fund is subject to the risk of investing in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac")). Unlike Ginnie Mae securities, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Consequently, the Fund may be required to look principally to the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligation.

The mortgage-related and asset-backed securities in which the Fund may invest may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, and economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. These changes can affect the value, income, and/or liquidity of such positions. When interest rates are declining, the value of these securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. Early principal repayment may deprive the Fund of income payments above current market rates. Alternatively, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower-than-expected rate, extending the duration of a security and typically reducing its value. The payment rate will thus affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-

36

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

related security. In addition, the Fund may invest in non-agency asset backed and mortgage related securities, which are issued by private institutions, not by government-sponsored enterprises.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities, the value of which fluctuates in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general, the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Fund invests, or an individual company's financial condition.

The Fund may invest in convertible securities, which have both equity and fixed income risk characteristics, including market, credit, liquidity, and interest rate risks. Generally, convertible securities offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality and less potential for gains or capital appreciation in a rising equity securities market than equity securities. They tend to be more volatile than other fixed income securities and the market for convertible securities may be less liquid than the markets for stocks or bonds. To the extent that the Fund invests in convertible securities and the investment value of the convertible security is greater than its conversion value, its price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the price of the convertible security will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying equity security. A significant portion of convertible securities have below investment grade credit ratings and are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks.

Due to the Fund's investment exposure to foreign companies and American Depositary Receipts, the Fund may experience increased market, industry and sector, liquidity, currency, political, information, and other risks. The securities of foreign companies also may be subject to inadequate exchange control regulations, the imposition of economic sanctions or threat thereof or other government restrictions, higher transaction and other costs, and delays in settlement to the extent they are traded on non-U.S. exchanges or markets.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in securities. Derivatives may be subject to risks such as liquidity risk, leveraging risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Illiquid securities may lower the Fund's returns since the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at their desired time or price. Derivatives also may involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the value of the underlying asset, rate or index. Whether the Fund's use of derivatives is successful will depend on, among other things, the Fund's ability to correctly forecast market movements and other factors. Losses may also arise from the failure of a derivative counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. If the Fund incorrectly forecasts these and other factors, the Fund's performance could suffer. The Fund's use of derivatives could result in a loss exceeding the amount of the Fund's investment in these instruments.

The Fund may invest in loans, which include, among other things, loans to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships, other business entities, or to U.S. and non-U.S. governments. The Fund may invest in fixed rate and variable rate loans and floating or adjustable rate loans, including bridge loans, novations, assignments, and participations, which are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks. The loans in which the Fund invests will usually be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. Below investment grade loans, as in the case of high-yield debt securities, or junk bonds, are usually more credit sensitive than interest rate sensitive, although the value of these instruments may be impacted by broader interest rate swings in the overall fixed income market. The Fund may invest in debtor-in-possession financings (commonly known as "DIP financings"). DIP financings are arranged when an entity seeks the protections of the bankruptcy

37

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Such financings constitute senior liens on an unencumbered security (i.e., security not subject to other creditors' claims).

Geopolitical and other events, such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illnesses, epidemics and pandemics, environmental and other public health issues, supply chain disruptions, inflation, recessions or other events, and governments' reactions to such events, may lead to increased market volatility and instability in world economies and markets generally and may have adverse effects on the performance of the Fund and its investments.

A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. For example, the effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may in the future have, a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund's investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.

It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of the Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments, and negatively impact the Fund's performance and your investment in the Fund.

These factors, and others, can affect the Fund's performance.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

The Board, including all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund or of Lord Abbett, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), annually considers whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between the Fund and Lord Abbett (the "Agreement"). In connection with its most recent approval, the Board reviewed materials relating specifically to the Agreement, as well as numerous materials received throughout the course of the year, including information about the Fund's investment performance compared to the performance of an appropriate benchmark. Before making its decision as to the Fund, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information, taking into account its knowledge of Lord Abbett gained through its meetings and discussions. The Independent Trustees also met with their independent legal counsel in various private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

The materials received by the Board included, but were not limited to: (1) information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions ("Broadridge") regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of certain funds with similar investment styles as determined by Broadridge, based, in part, on the Fund's Morningstar category (the "performance peer group"), and the investment performance of an appropriate benchmark; (2) information provided by Broadridge regarding the expense ratios, contractual and actual management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and certain funds in the same Morningstar category, with generally the same or similar share classes and operational characteristics, including asset size (the "expense peer group"); (3) certain supplemental investment performance information provided by Lord Abbett; (4) information provided by Lord Abbett on the expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (5) sales and share repurchase information for the Fund; (6) information regarding Lord Abbett's financial condition; (7) an analysis of the relative profitability to Lord Abbett of providing management and administrative services to the Fund; (8) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fee schedules for Lord Abbett's other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund; and (9) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.

Investment Management and Related Services Generally.The Board considered the services provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett's commitment to compliance with all applicable legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest that may result from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to the Fund and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that the Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the investment services provided by Lord Abbett under the Agreement.

Investment Performance.The Board reviewed the Fund's investment performance in relation to that of the performance peer group and an appropriate benchmark as of the period ended June 30, 2023. The Board observed that the Fund's investment performance was below the median of the performance peer group for the one-year period and above the median of the performance peer group for the three-year period. The Board also considered Lord Abbett's performance and

reputation generally, the performance of other Lord Abbett-managed funds overseen by the Board, and the willingness of Lord Abbett to take steps intended to improve performance when appropriate. After reviewing these and other factors, including those described below, the Board concluded that the Fund's Agreement should be continued.

Lord Abbett's Personnel and Methods.The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline, and other services provided to the Fund by Lord Abbett. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover of Lord Abbett's staff, Lord Abbett's investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett's approach to recruiting, training, and retaining personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services.The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett's supervision of third-party service providers, including the Fund's transfer agent and custodian.

Expenses. The Board considered the expense level of the Fund, including the contractual and actual management fee rates, and the expense levels of the Fund's expense peer group. It also considered how each of the expense level and the effective management fees of the Fund related to those of the expense peer group and the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. The Board observed that the net total expense ratio and the effective management fee of the Fund were both below the median of the expense peer group. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall approval of the Agreement, that the management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of all of the factors it considered, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by Lord Abbett.

Profitability. The Board considered the level of Lord Abbett's operating margin in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett's methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. It considered whether the Fund was profitable to Lord Abbett in connection with the Fund's operation, including the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered Lord Abbett's profit margins, excluding Lord Abbett's marketing and distribution expenses. The Board also considered Lord Abbett's profit margins without those exclusions in comparison with available industry data and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett's ability to recruit and retain personnel. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett's overall profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall approval of the Agreement, that Lord Abbett's profitability with respect to the Fund was not excessive.

Economies of Scale.The Board considered the extent to which there had been economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund's shareholders had appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board also considered information provided by Lord Abbett regarding how it shares any potential economies of scale through its investments in its businesses supporting the Funds. The Board also considered the Fund's existing management fee schedule and the Fund's expense limitation agreement. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that any economies of scale were adequately addressed in respect of the Fund.

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett.The Board considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by the Fund and the Fund's shareholders to Lord Abbett and the Distributor for services other than investment advisory services, such as the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett's investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that the Distributor receives distribution and servicing fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, that the Distributor may retain a portion of such fees it receives, and that the Distributor receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectus of the Fund, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of client brokerage transactions.

Alternative Arrangements.The Board considered whether, instead of approving continuation of the Agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the Agreement. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered.

Householding

The Fund has adopted a policy that allows it to send only one copy of the Fund's prospectus, proxy material, annual report and semiannual report (or related notice of internet availability of annual report and semiannual report) to certain shareholders residing at the same "household."
