Pearl Diver Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) has authorized the offer and sale of up to $100,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in an “at the market” equity offering under a registration statement filed on Form N-2, as amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 18, 2025, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Registration Nos. 333-288772 and 811-23912, respectively), and subsequently amended on September 16, 2025, by a pre-effective amendment. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on September 19, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, dated September 19, 2025, by and among the Company, Pearl Diver Capital LLP, and the placement agent, Lucid Capital Markets, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of the Common Stock having an aggregate maximum offering price of $75,000,000 under the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Offered Shares”). On September 19, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, relating to the Company’s proposed issuance of Offered Shares with an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000.

Sales of the Offered Shares by the Placement Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement, if any, may be made by any method or payment permitted by law to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company has no obligation to offer or sell the Offered Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Any shares of Common Stock offered under the Equity Distribution Agreement will be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Placement Agent will receive a commission from the Company equal to the lesser of (i) 2.00% of the gross sales price per share from the sale of shares of Offered Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement and (ii) the difference between the gross sale price per share from such sale of Offered Shares and the most recently determined net asset value per share.

The Equity Distribution Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Equity Distribution Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The foregoing description of the Equity Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Distribution Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the legality of the issuance and the sale of the Offered Shares. A copy of such legal opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Offered Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement nor shall there be any sale of such Offered Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
