Blackstone / GSO Loan Financing Limited

Admission to the Official List of the CISEA and to trading on the SFM

Further to its Result of Issue announcement on 24 April 2015, Blackstone / GSO Loan Financing Limited ("BGLF" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that 30,119,700 new ordinary shares in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") have today been admitted to the Official List of the Channel Island Securities Exchange Authority Limited ("CISEA") and to trading on the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange (together, "Admission").

As a company whose shares are admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market, the Listing Rules applicable to closed-ended investment companies which are listed on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UKLA do not apply to the Company. However, as set out in the Company's prospectus dated 10 July 2014, as a matter of best practice and good corporate governance the Company has agreed to voluntarily comply with certain provisions of the Listing Rules in such manner as they would apply to the Company were it admitted to Official List under Chapter 15 of the Listing Rules, including any transaction which would constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules.

Two of the investors under the Issue, Old Mutual Global Investors (UK) Limited and Blackrock Investment Management UK Limited are considered related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules and have subscribed for 12,623,798 and 9,174,899 New Ordinary Shares respectively at an issue price of 102 EUR cents per share (being the same issue price as the other investors who have subscribed for New Ordinary Shares under the Issue). Each transaction constitutes a smaller related party transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.10(1)R.

Immediately following Admission, the total number of ordinary shares in issue and of voting rights in the Company will be 331,319,700[1].

[1] This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
