Re: Oxford Park Income Fund, Inc.
File Nos. 333-268966; 811-23847
Dear Messrs. Pangas and Hinkle,
On December 22, 2022, you filed a registration statement on Form N-2 on behalf of
Oxford Park Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). We have reviewed the registration statement
and our comments are set forth below. For convenience, we generally organized our
comments using the headings, defined terms, and page numbers from the registration
statement as filed on EDGAR. Where a comment is made with respect to disclosure in one
location of the filing, it applies to all similar disclosure found elsewhere. Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Fund’s registration statement.
PROSPECTUS
LEGAL COMMENTS
1. In the principal risk disclosure, please include credit risk related to the CLO
tranches of debt, as well as risks related to their use of warehouse facilities and
corporate credit, or explain to us why no additional disclosure is necessary. (page
1)
2. Under the heading, “Oxford Park Management,” the disclosure says the Adviser
will manage and monitor a “diversified” portfolio. However, the disclosure
elsewhere in the prospectus indicates that, for purposes of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), the Fund will be classified as “non-diversified.” To

describe this concept. (page 2)
3. Under the heading, “CLO Structural Elements,” the disclosure says, “CLO equity
and junior debt investments allow investors to gain exposure to the Senior Loan market on a levered basis without being structurally subject to mark-to-market price fluctuations of the underlying loans.” Please describe levered debt and disclose the range of CLO leverage ratios in the Fund’s portfolio. (page 3)
4. Under the heading, “Leverage,” please clarify the types of shares the Fund will
issue. Please disclose whether the Fund will be issuing preferred stock within the first year from the effective date of the registration statement.

(page 7)
5. Under footnote (5) in the “Summary of Fees and Expenses” table, please remove
the word “realized” immediately preceding capital gains, as the 1940 Act does not
permit the adviser to take an incentive fee on any capital gains, whether realized or
unrealized. (page 16)
6. Under the heading, “Use of Proceeds,” disclosure says the Fund currently
anticipates being able to invest any proceeds from the sale of its Shares within three
to nine months of receipt of such proceeds. If the delay stretches beyond three
months, describe the reasons for and consequences of the delay. See Item 7.2 and
Guide 1 to Form N-2. (page 19)

managers are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of
the Fund. See Instruction to Item 9.1.c of Form N-2. (page 48)

(“In effect, [an interval fund] would have … up to seven days after that in
which to pay repurchase proceeds – just as open-end companies or closed-
end companies making issuer tender offers now have seven days in which
to make payment.”)
b. Please confirm that the Fund does not contemplate issuing a “promissory
note” in lieu of paying cash within five business days.
c. Please revise the disclosure to specify that the Fund will disclose the final
dollar amount of the offer consideration no later than the repurchase offer
deadline, that the Fund will compute current NAV per share during the term
of each repurchase offer no less frequently than weekly, and daily on the
five business days preceding a repurchase offer deadline, and that the fund
will disclose in the offer to purchase the means by which shareholders may
access this information. See Rule 13e-4(d)(1)(i) and Rule 14d-100, Item 4,
