EXPLANATORY NOTE

Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or together with its subsidiaries, where applicable, the Company, which may also be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our”, is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on November 19, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), to provide audited financial statements for our investment in an unconsolidated controlled portfolio company, Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC (“SLF JV I”), for the year ended September 30, 2019. The SLF JV I consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Exhibit 99.1) are included in Part IV, Item 15 of this filing.

We have determined that this unconsolidated controlled portfolio company has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to provide audited financial statements as an exhibit to the Form 10-K. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b), the separate financial statements of SLF JV I are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K within 90 days after the end of SLF JV I’s September 30 fiscal year.

This Amendment also updates, amends and supplements Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K to include the filing of new Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events that may have occurred after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after filing of the Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC.
