Separately, Sixth Street Lending Partners Advisers, LLC (the Adviser) named Robert “Bo” Stanley Co‑Chief Investment Officer; Joshua Easterly will step down as Co‑CIO of the Adviser effective June 30, 2026.

• Board leadership and senior investment‑team changes are material governance events investors watch because they can affect oversight and strategy. The filing stresses continuity: the change is not due to disagreement, a successor Chairman will be named around May 21, 2026, and senior investment roles remain filled by experienced leaders, with investment decisions still made by the Investment Review Committee. Investors should note the dates and monitor follow‑up disclosures about the new Chairman and any further leadership updates.
