Committee and governance context:
- No Compensation Committee; Nominating and Governance Committee reviews Independent Trustee compensation .
- Officers’ compensation is not paid or expensed by the Funds .
Investment Implications
- Pay alignment and retention risk cannot be assessed from fund-level disclosures because BSL does not compensate its officers; Post’s incentives are set by Blackstone Credit & Insurance, and are not disclosed in BSL proxies .
- No evidence of pledging or hedging is disclosed for Post; individual ownership in BSL is not reported, and aggregate trustees/executive officers’ ownership is de minimis (<0.05%), limiting visible “skin in the game” at the fund level .
- Trading signals: monitor Forms 3/4/5 for any personal transactions by Post (power of attorney indicates filings may be made on his behalf) and 8-K Item 5.02 for officer changes; leadership changes at the CEO/Chair level occurred in November 2024, underscoring evolving governance dynamics, though not specific to Post .
- Data gaps: No disclosure on Post’s compensation structure, performance metrics, vesting schedules, severance, or change-of-control terms at the adviser level; further insight requires adviser-level documents or insider transaction filings.
