Material Agreement, Private Placement, Regulation FD Disclosure (Form 8-K)

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), Lord Abbett PCF Financing 2 LLC ("PCF Financing 2"), a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of Lord Abbett Private Credit Fund ("we," the "Company," or the "Fund"), entered into a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), by and among PCF Financing 2, as borrower, the Company, as collateral manager, Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), as administrative agent (in such capacity "Administrative Agent"), each of the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent and collateral custodian. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Loan Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for, among other things, borrowings in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies in an initial aggregate amount of up to $300,000,000.

The revolving period during which PCF Financing 2 is permitted to borrow, repay and re-borrow loans will terminate December 1, 2028 (the "Reinvestment Period End Date"). Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including maintenance of the required borrowing base. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on December 1, 2030 (the "Termination Date").

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the floating rate applicable to the currency of such borrowing (which, for U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings, is daily SOFR), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.60% per annum to 2.00% per annum depending on the nature of the collateral securing the advances, subject to a floor of 0% per annum. In addition, PCF Financing 2 will pay a non-usage fee on the unused commitments under the facility equal to (i) during the first nine months after the Closing Date, $0.00; (ii) from the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date to and including the Reinvestment Period End Date, (a) for each day during such period that the Advances Outstanding on such day are less than 50% of the Facility Amount on such day, an amount equal to the sum of the products for each such day during such period, of (I) one divided by 360, (II) 1.25%, and (III) the positive difference between (X) 50% of the Facility Amount minus (Y) the Advances Outstanding as of each such day; (b) for each day during such period that the Advances Outstanding on such day are greater than or equal to 50% but less than 75% of the Facility Amount on such day, an amount equal to the sum of the products for each such day during such period, of (I) one divided by 360, (II) 0.75%, and (III) the positive difference between (X) 75% of the Facility Amount minus (Y) the Advances Outstanding as of each such day; and (c) for each day during such period that the Advances Outstanding on such day are greater than or equal to 75% of the Facility Amount on such day, $0.00; and (iii) from the Reinvestment Period End Date to the Termination Date, $0.00.

In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, PCF Financing 2 has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition, PCF Financing 2 must maintain a positive tangible net worth at all times.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding loans and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, PCF Financing 2 may be required to pay interest at a default rate.

PCF Financing 2's obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of PCF Financing 2, including its portfolio of loans and debt securities. The obligations of PCF Financing 2 under the Revolving Credit Facility are limited recourse obligations, payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility and the associated Required Loan Documents.

The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
