This website is not intended to offer or to promote the offer or sale of the securities of Blackstone / GSO Loan Financing Limited (the "Company") in the United States or to US persons ("US Persons") as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
Access to the information contained in this website is restricted under applicable securities laws of the United States. The Company has not been and will not be registered under the US Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and, as such, holders of the securities of the Company mentioned in this website (the "Securities") will not be entitled to the benefits of the Investment Company Act. No offer, sale, resale, pledge, delivery, distribution or transfer of the Securities may be made except under circumstances that will not result in the Company being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered, sold, resold, pledged, taken up, exercised, renounced, delivered, distributed or transferred, directly or indirectly, into or within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and in a manner which would not require the Company to register under the Investment Company Act. No public offering of the Securities is being made in the United States. The information contained in this website, therefore, is generally not available to persons in the United States or who are US Persons.
With regard to persons in the United States or who are US Persons, access to this website is restricted solely to those who (a) are "Qualified Institutional Buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and "Qualified Purchasers" as defined in Section 2(a)(51) and related rules of the Investment Company Act, or (b) own shares of the Company.
Please tick each box below as applicable to indicate your confirmation before clicking on the "Confirm" button below to proceed.
I hereby certify and warrant that:
(a)
You are a "Qualified Purchaser" if you are:
(i) a natural person (including any person who holds a joint, community property, or other similar shared ownership interest in an issuer that is excepted under Section 3(c)(7) of the US Investment Company Act with that person's Qualified Purchaser spouse) who owns not less than $5,000,000 in investments, as defined by the US Securities and Exchange Commission;
(ii) a company, partnership or trust that owns not less than $5,000,000 in investments and that is owned directly or indirectly by or for two or more natural persons who are related as siblings or spouse (including former spouses), or direct lineal descendants by birth or adoption, spouses of such persons, the estates of such persons, or foundations, charitable organisations, or trusts established by or for the benefit of such persons;
(iii) a trust that is not covered by clause (ii) above and that was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities of the Company, as to which the trustee or other person authorised to make decisions with respect to the trust, and each settlor or other person who has contributed assets to the trust, is a person described in clause (i), (ii) or (iv) hereto; or
(iv) a person, acting for your own account or the accounts of other Qualified Purchasers, who in the aggregate owns and invests on a discretionary basis, not less than $25,000,000 in investments.
You are not a "Qualified Purchaser" if you are a company that, but for the exceptions provided for in paragraph (1) or (7) of Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act, would be an investment company (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as an "excepted investment company"), unless all beneficial owners of your outstanding securities (other than short-term paper), determined in accordance with Section 3(c)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, that acquired such securities on or before April 30, 1996 (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as "pre-amendment beneficial owners"), and all pre-amendment beneficial owners of the outstanding securities (other than short-term paper) of any excepted investment company that, directly or indirectly, owns any of your outstanding securities, have consented to your treatment as a Qualified Purchaser. Unanimous consent of all trustees, directors, or general partners of a company or trust referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) above shall constitute consent for purposes of this paragraph.

Accordingly, each acquirer of the securities will be deemed to represent that (i) it is either (a) a QP and is acting for its own account or the account of another QP, or (b) not a US Person and is acquiring the securities outside the United States in an "offshore transaction" meeting the requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act; (ii) it understands that the Company may receive a list of all participants holding positions in its securities from one or more book-entry depositaries; and (iii) it will provide notice of applicable transfer restrictions to any subsequent transferees.

Unless a shareholder indicates otherwise by written notice to the Company, the shareholder hereby consents to receive the Company's financial statements, shareholder newsletters, and other shareholder notices and materials via email to the shareholder's email address in the Company's records or via the Company's website. Although the Company does not impose any additional charges for electronic delivery, the shareholder may, of course, incur costs associated with the shareholder’s electronic access, such as usage charges from the shareholder's Internet access providers. The shareholder may revoke its election to receive such documents via electronic delivery at any time by written notice to the Company requesting that the Company send such documents via facsimile or in hard copy via the postal service to the address notified to the Company by the shareholder from time to time.
