Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. Prices $1.1 Billion Dual-Tranche Notes

Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. priced what an initial report called a $1.1 billion dual-tranche private-note offering, but public bond databases show differing details for at least one 2031-dated tranche. The unnamed news extract said the placement included "$400 million of 5.875% notes due January 31, 2031," while Cbonds lists a separate entry dated 26/11/2025 for a 5.875% USD 500 million issue maturing in 2031 with ISIN USU3826RAE37.

The discrepancy centers on the size and exact dating of the 5.875% 2031 instrument. The Original Report describes a $400 million tranche due January 31, 2031 as part of the $1.1 billion private placement. Cbonds records a USD 500 million, 5.875% new issue maturing in 2031 with ISIN USU3826RAE37 on 26/11/2025, but does not provide the precise day-month in the excerpt provided. The two sources therefore report different principal amounts for a similarly described 2031 coupon.

Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp., also referred to as GSCR in Kroll Bond Rating Agency materials, is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that elected to be regulated as a Business Development Company and began investment operations in April 2023. The vehicle is externally managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. GSAM’s platform metrics as of September 30, 2025 list "$233+ Billion Invested in Private Credit," "210+ Investment Professionals," and "28+ Years Investing in Private Credit," and GSAM uses the marketing line "Scale, at Deal Speed" while cautioning "There is no guarantee that objectives will be met."

Kroll’s credit commentary provides the operational and balance-sheet context behind the funding move. Kbra reports an $11.6 billion investment portfolio comprised almost entirely of first-lien senior secured loans (97.5%), including 2.8% first-lien senior secured last-out unitranche loans, with a median portfolio company EBITDA of $109 million as of September 30, 2025. Kbra notes that "non-accruals remain low at 0.2% at cost and fair value." Kbra also states that "The ratings and Stable Outlook are supported by GSCR’s ties to Goldman Sachs’ $3.45 trillion assets under supervision, including $82 billion senior direct lending platform, along with SEC exemptive relief to co-invest with GS affiliates."

Funding and liquidity figures cited by Kbra show $2.5 billion in available credit lines, $644.4 million in cash and equivalents and no near-term debt maturities as of September 30, 2025, alongside roughly $4 billion in unfunded commitments. Kbra also records that GSCR raised $8.3 billion in equity from inception through October 31, 2025 with approximately $366 million in redemptions, and that GSCR issued $1.0 billion of inaugural unsecured debt in 2Q25 followed by $900 million of subsequent issuances post-3Q25, increasing pro forma unsecured debt to total debt to 47.3%.

The conflicting tranche amounts and the differing date entries for the 2031 instrument remain unresolved in the public excerpts reviewed here. Confirming the offering memorandum or issuer release would reconcile whether the 5.875% 2031 instrument is a $400 million tranche due January 31, 2031 as reported in the news extract, the USD 500 million ISIN-listed instrument on Cbonds, or whether both entries reflect related but distinct transactions.
