Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 3 of the Amended Registration Statement.

3. On page 5, the second bullet says, “Asset-based opportunities will primarily consist of last-out or otherwise specialized asset-based financings.” Please briefly explain the types of other “specialized asset-based financings” the Company may invest in.

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 5 of the Amended Registration Statement.

4. On page 5, the third bullet says, “the sponsor opportunities will primarily comprise of floating-rate senior secured first lien, unitranche, and second lien loans to sponsor-owned companies.” Please provide additional disclosure about these loans. Please also add appropriate corresponding risk disclosure, as applicable.

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 5 and pages 76 through 79 of the Amended Registration Statement.

5. Under the heading, “The Advisor,” the disclosure says the Advisor is a controlled affiliate of Centerbridge. Please supplementally explain the control relationship between the Advisor and Centerbridge (e.g., is the Advisor a majority or wholly owned subsidiary?) (page 6)

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 6 of the Amended Registration Statement. The Advisor supplementally confirms to the Staff that the Advisor is managed by Overland Advisors Holdings, LLC in its capacity as managing member. Centerbridge Partners, L.P.

6. The second paragraph on page 6 references the Resource Sharing Agreement.

(a) Please explain to us how the Resource Sharing Agreement operates and why it is not an advisory contract within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Please address:

(i) Specific services Centerbridge and its employees will provide on the Advisor’s behalf and why those services do not amount to advisory services provided to the Company;

(ii) The extent to which the Investment Advisor will depend on Centerbridge’s personnel;

(iii) Whether Centerbridge personnel who provide investment advice with respect to the Company will be supervised persons of the Investment Advisor under Section 202(a)(25) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

(iv) Whether and what fees are paid to Centerbridge and by whom and whether they are paid pursuant to the Resource Sharing Agreement, and

(v) Whether Centerbridge is considered a fiduciary with respect to the Company.

Response: The Company advises the Staff, on a supplemental basis, that the Advisor will serve as the only investment adviser to the Company. Centerbridge has not and will not enter into an investment advisory agreement with the Company. Centerbridge and the Advisor will enter into a Resource Sharing Agreement pursuant to which employees of Centerbridge will provide services, including investment advisory, portfolio management and other services, to the Advisor in order to enable the Advisor to fulfill its obligations under the Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to the Resource Sharing Agreement, Centerbridge will provide resources and services to the Advisor only and will not be contracting directly with the Company to provide any services or receive any advisory fees or compensation of any kind. All Centerbridge employees providing services to the Advisor shall be compensated solely by Centerbridge. Any employee of Centerbridge Partners, L.P. who provides investment advice with respect to the Company will be a supervised person of the Advisor. As such, the Resource Sharing Agreement does not amount to an advisory contract under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, Centerbridge is not considered a fiduciary with respect to the Company.

(b) Please provide us with the Resource Sharing Agreement to review.

Response: The Resource Sharing Agreement will be furnished to the Staff on a supplemental basis.

November 16, 2023

Page

(c) Please add risk disclosure about the Resource Sharing Agreement (e.g., that advisory services provided by the Investment Advisor are dependent on the Resource Sharing Agreement).

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 40 of the Amended Registration Statement.

7. Please disclose whether the individuals in the Investment Committee are each jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company. (page 6)

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 7 of the Amended Registration Statement.

8. Under the heading, “Private Offering,” there is a reference to the Common Shares listing on a national securities exchange. However, earlier in the registration statement, disclosure says shares will not be listed on an exchange. Please reconcile these statements and revise throughout the registration statement, as applicable. (page 9)

Response: The Company advises the Staff, on a supplemental basis, that the Company does not currently intend for the Common Shares to be listed on a national securities exchange. Rather, the Company has disclosed in the Registration Statement that it is permitted to consider, but shall not be obligated, to consummate a “Liquidity Event” within five years from the first capital drawdown by the Company (the “Commencement Date”). A “Liquidity Event” may include (i) consummating a listing of the Common Shares on a national securities exchange, (ii) commencing a general or limited tender offer program and/or (iii) winding down the Company. In addition, the Company has disclosed in the Amended Registration Statement its intention to undertake the implementation of a Liquidity Event, if a Liquidity Event has not already occurred, by the end of the seventh year following the Commencement Date. Therefore, while the Company does not currently intend for the Common Shares to be listed on a national securities exchange, a listing could occur in the future. The Company has clarified the disclosure on page 10 of the Amended Registration Statement.

(a) There is a reference to “foreign registration fees.” Please disclose what kind of foreign registration will be incurred for the Company.

(b) There is a reference to the cost of monitoring ESG, but there is no disclosure in the strategy section indicating this is a principal strategy. Further, there is disclosure relating to ESG on page 40. Please include ESG matters in the investment strategy and risk disclosure, as applicable.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comments (a) and (b), the Company has revised pages 6, 14, 51 and 89 of the Amended Registration Statement. On a supplemental basis, the Company confirms that ESG is not a principal strategy of the Company. Accordingly, the Advisor may, but is not required to consider ESG factors alongside traditional factors when making investment decisions.

(c) There is a reference to the costs associated with obtaining an Order for SEC co-investment relief. Please advise whether the Company will be applying for such relief.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment (c), the Company confirms, on a supplemental basis, that the Company applied for an Order for SEC co-investment relief on October 16, 2023 (File No: 812-15515).

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page 15 of the Amended Registration Statement.

12. Under the heading, “Regulation of a Business Development Company,” the disclosure says shareholders do not need to approve any of the policies described above. However, in the prior paragraph, disclosure says, “The Company may, however, sell Common Shares, or warrants, options or rights to acquire Common Shares, at a price below the then-current net asset value of the Common Shares if the Company’s Board determines that such sale is in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of Shareholders, and Shareholders approve such sale.” Please reconcile this disclosure. (pages 17-18)

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to move the sentence in order to provide clarity. The Company confirms to the Staff, on a supplemental basis, that the reference to Shareholders approving a sale relates to approving the sale of Common Shares below net asset value per Common Share as required by applicable law and not approving any particular policies. Please see page 19 of the Amended Registration Statement.

13. Please disclose if the Company will invest more than 15% of its assets in private funds that rely on Section 3(c)(1) and/or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. We may have additional comments. (page 18)

16. Under the heading, “Increased Interest Rates,” disclosure says debt investments of the Company may be based on floating rates such as LIBOR. As the Company invests in new issuers, as opposed to existing debt, please confirm this is accurate or appropriately revise this disclosure. (page 42)

Response: The Company has retained the reference to LIBOR, along with other benchmark rates, in light of the possibility that the Company could acquire instruments that were originated prior to June 30, 2023 (e.g., broadly syndicated LIBOR-based loans). The Company has clarified the disclosure on page 43 and 44 and 73 and 74 accordingly.

17. Under the heading, “Other Agreements,” please explain to us:
