On and effective as of February 25, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (the “Company”) reduced its size from seven directors to six directors due to a vacancy on the Board resulting from the retirement of a former director effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2025. The Board also appointed Timothy J. Leach and Katherine P. Uniacke as Class III directors in order to ensure that each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each of the Class III directors shall hold office until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification. Mr. Leach was formerly a Class I director and Ms. Uniacke was formerly a Class II director. Solely to allow the Board to effectuate such reallocation of director classes, Mr. Leach and Ms. Uniacke resigned as Class I and Class II directors, respectively, on February 25, 2026. Mr. Leach remains Chairman of the Board, as well as Chairman of each of the Governance and Nominating Committee, Compliance Committee, and Contract Review Committee and a member of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

Neither Mr. Leach nor Ms. Uniacke has any family relationships with any current director, executive officer, or person nominated to become a director or executive officer, of the Company, and there are no transactions or proposed transactions to which the Company is a party, or intended to be a party, in which Mr. Leach or Ms. Uniacke has, or will have, a material interest subject to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
