Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 3, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Onex Direct Lending BDC SPV, LLC ("ODL SPV"), a Delaware limited liability company, and Onex Direct Lending BDC Fund (the "Company"), a Delaware statutory trust, solely in their capacities as the transferor and as the servicer, entered into a Loan and Servicing Agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SMBC"), as initial lender and as the administrative agent and as the collateral agent, and U.S. Bank National Association as account bank and as the collateral custodian (the "SMBC Facility").

The current maximum principal amount of the SMBC Facility is $300.0 million (which consists of $300.0 million of revolving commitments), which may be increased up to a maximum facility amount of $1,500,000,000 subject to the requirements set forth in the SMBC Facility, including lender consent.

The SMBC Facility provides for the ability to draw and redraw revolving loans under the SMBC Facility through October 3, 2027, unless the revolving commitments are terminated sooner in the SMBC Facility. The reinvestment period end date (after which no borrowings may be drawn under the SMBC Facility) and the maturity date under the SMBC Facility are October 3, 2027 and October 3, 2029, respectively, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms.

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the SMBC Facility, advances (i) during the reinvestment period will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread of 1.65% or 2.30% per annum with respect to SOFR advances and will bear interest at the base rate plus a spread of 0.65% or 1.30% per annum with respect to base rate advances and (ii) after the reinvestment period will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread of 2.15% or 2.80% per annum with respect to SOFR advances and will bear interest at the base rate plus a spread of 1.15% or 1.80% per annum with respect to base rate advances.

The SMBC Facility includes customary covenants, including certain financial maintenance covenants, limitation on the activities of ODL SPV, including limitations on incurrence of incremental indebtedness, and customary events of default. The SMBC Facility is secured by a lien on assets held by the ODL SPV and on any payments received by ODL SPV in respect of those assets.

Borrowings of ODL SPV are considered the Company's borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
