On August 2, 2023, the Board appointed Oran Ebel as the Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (the “Fund”) effective as of the close of business on August 2, 2023. Mr. Ebel, born 1979, is Deputy General Counsel of Blackstone Credit and a Managing Director in Blackstone’s Legal & Compliance Group. Mr. Ebel oversees legal matters relating to Blackstone Credit’s business development companies, is responsible for legal matters relating to Blackstone Credit’s Private Credit investments and plays a key role overseeing other legal functions relating to Blackstone’s Credit business. Prior to joining Blackstone in 2013, Mr. Ebel was an associate in the Finance Group of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in New York. Mr. Ebel received an A.B., cum laude, from Princeton University and a J.D., cum laude, from New York University School of Law. Mr. Ebel also serves as the Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of Blackstone Private Credit Fund.

Mr. Ebel’s appointment coincides with the resignation, effective as of the close of business on August 2, 2023, of Marisa J. Beeney as the Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Fund. Ms. Beeney’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement relating to Blackstone or the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Ms. Beeney will continue in her role as General Counsel of Blackstone Credit.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Ebel and any director or executive officer of the Fund, and he is not a party to any transaction that is required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
