Exhibit 10.1

LIQUIDITY ELECTION FORM

SILVER POINT SPECIALTY LENDING FUND

THE LIQUIDITY TRANSACTION WILL EXPIRE AT

9:30 A.M., EASTERN TIME, ON APRIL 30, 2025

 

 

Pursuant to the Liquidity Transaction Notice, dated February 14, 2025 (the “Liquidity Transaction Notice”), Silver Point Specialty Lending Fund (the “Fund”) notified its shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of their right to transfer to other investors in exchange for cash all or a portion of their Common Shares as of May 1, 2025, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable (the “Liquidity Transaction” and such date, the “Liquidity Transaction Date”), at a price per share equal to the Fund’s most recent month-end net asset value per Common Share.

By executing this Election Form and electing to transfer all or a portion of their Common Shares by participating in the Liquidity Transaction, a Shareholder hereby (i) elects to participate in the Liquidity Transaction and transfer the percentage of Common Shares identified below; (ii) agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in the Liquidity Transaction Notice and the information statement to which this Election Form is attached (the “Information Statement”); and (iii) makes the applicable representations, warranties and covenants included on Annex A hereto.

If you are not interested in transferring any portion of your Common Shares at this time, and wish to remain invested in the Fund, please indicate so by selecting the applicable box on the Election Form.

This Election Form will be irrevocable by the Shareholder as of 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on April 30, 2025, or such later date to which the Liquidity Transaction may be extended by the Fund (as applicable, the “Expiration Date”). Shareholders who have returned a completed and duly executed Election Form may change their election at any time prior to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date by writing to ***@*** and returning a new completed and duly executed Election Form.

The failure of any Shareholder to execute and deliver a complete and correct Election Form on or prior to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date shall constitute a binding and irrevocable election by such Shareholder to transfer all of its Common Shares in the Liquidity Transaction (a “Deemed Election”).

The acceptance by the Fund of (i) an Election Form of a shareholder electing to transfer all or a portion of their Common Shares by participating in the Liquidity Transaction or (ii) a Deemed Election will constitute a binding agreement among the Electing Shareholder, the Fund and Liquidity Escrow Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, that will be the purchaser (on behalf of certain third party purchasers) of the Common Shares transferred in the Liquidity Transaction (the “Liquidity Escrow Trust”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Liquidity Transaction. By submitting this Election Form or making a Deemed Election, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Liquidity Transaction, you shall be deemed to make the representations, warranties, covenants, acknowledgments and agreements included on Annex A hereto.

Before making your election, you are urged to (i) read in its entirety the confidential offering memorandum (together with any supplements thereto and as may be amended from time to time, the “Memorandum”), which is attached as Exhibit B to the Information Statement and includes additional information regarding the Fund, including a description of certain changes to the Fund that will be effective after the Liquidity Transaction Date, and (ii) consult your legal, financial, tax and other advisors.

Shareholders who complete and return this Election Form or make a Deemed Election hereby consent to the termination of the Shareholders Agreement, which shall be terminated on the Liquidity Transaction Date.

Unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of a different forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or other federal securities law.

The mediator may not testify for either Party in any later proceeding relating to the dispute. The mediation proceedings shall not be recorded or transcribed.

(ii) Each Party shall bear its own costs in the mediation. The Parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the mediator. If the Parties have not resolved a dispute within 90 days after written notice beginning the mediation (or a longer period, if the Parties agree to extend the mediation), the mediation shall terminate and the dispute shall be settled by arbitration.

(C) Arbitration. Any dispute between the Parties, which has not been resolved by mediation, as provided herein, shall be finally resolved by arbitration.

(i) The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the procedures in this Liquidity Election Form and the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration (“Rules”) then in effect, or such other rules and procedures as the Parties may agree. In the event of a conflict, the provisions of this Liquidity Election Form will control.

(ii) All claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that are governed by and brought pursuant to the arbitration provisions in this subsection (C) shall be governed by and interpreted solely by reference to Maryland law, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of any other state or country. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the enforceability of the arbitration provisions in this subsection (C).

(iii) Any request for arbitration must take place within a reasonable time after a claim has arisen, but in no event after the statute of limitations on a legal claim based on the facts of the claim has expired.

(iv) The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three independent and impartial arbitrators all of whom shall be appointed by CPR pursuant to the procedures provided for in the Rules wherein each Party numbers the arbitrator candidates proposed by CPR in order of preference and CPR shall designate as arbitrators the nominees willing to serve for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the highest preference. Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of any of these procedures, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrators. No potential arbitrator may be appointed unless he or she has agreed in writing to the procedures set forth in this Liquidity Election Form. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York.

The arbitration panel is not authorized to award any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages whatsoever, and the Parties agree not to enforce any part of any award inconsistent with this limitation on the award of the arbitration.

(vi) The arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

(vii) Discovery shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if any, expressly authorized by the arbitration panel upon a showing of substantial need by the Party seeking discovery.

(viii) All expenses and fees of the arbitrators, expenses for hearing facilities, stenographers, and other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration.

None of the Parties shall disclose any information about the fact of the arbitration, claims asserted in the arbitration, the evidence adduced in the arbitration, documents produced in connection with the proceeding, or the decision of the arbitration panel except to the extent (A) necessary to enforce an arbitral award (in which event the Party shall file (or seek leave to file, if required to do so) the arbitration decision under seal), (B) ordered (1) in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding, or (2) by other governmental authority, or (3) to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any disclosure permitted by the foregoing, the disclosing Party shall, to the extent practicable, give the other Party reasonable notice of and an opportunity to object to the intended disclosure. The witnesses and stenographic reporters shall sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements to preclude disclosure of (1) the existence of the arbitration proceeding; (2) the dispute(s) subject to the arbitration proceeding; (3) any testimony in the arbitration proceeding; and (4) any confidential information disclosed to any such witness or stenographic reporters in the arbitration.

(x) The result of the arbitration shall be binding on the Parties, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(xi) An appeal may be taken under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure (the “Appeal Procedure”) from any final award of an arbitral panel in any arbitration arising out of or related to this Liquidity Election Form that is conducted in accordance with the requirements of such Appeal Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties and the appeal tribunal, the appeal shall be conducted at the place of the original arbitration. Moreover, pursuant to the Appeal Procedure, an unsuccessful appellant is required to reimburse the appellee’s legal fees and other costs of the appeal, unless the tribunal orders otherwise.

(D) The Investor hereby agrees that, in the event that any one or more of these dispute resolution provisions of this Section 1.m.v shall be held to be invalid, illegal, inapplicable, unenforceable or are not enforced for any other reason, the validity, legality, applicability and enforceability of the remainder of this Liquidity Election Form (including Section 1.m.v) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and the Investor hereby waives, and agrees that it shall not have, any right to challenge this Liquidity Election Form (including Section 1.m.v) and also waives, and agrees that it shall not have, any right to assert a claim that any other provision of this Liquidity Election Form is invalid if this Section 1.m.v or any portion thereof is found to be invalid, illegal, inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the provision in paragraph vi of Section XIV(C) prohibiting class or consolidated actions shall held by a court or deemed by an arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, inapplicable, unenforceable or is not enforced for any other reason, then the Adviser may declare that this Section XIV shall be unenforceable and shall no longer form part of this Liquidity Election Form.

(E) EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN THIS LIQUIDITY ELECTION FORM, EACH OF THE PARTIES IS GIVING UP, AMONG OTHER THINGS, ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY WITH REGARD TO THE MATTERS WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF.

You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any withholding or other tax obligations are determined on the basis of, or otherwise attributable to, your status, characteristics, actions, or inactions (or otherwise specifically attributable to you or required or permitted to be economically allocated to you under the Fund’s Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration”)), including withholding taxes attributable to you and your allocable share of “imputed underpayments” under the Partnership Audit Rules (as defined in the Declaration), the Fund shall have the right to cause you to bear the economic burden of such taxes (including, by issuing an invoice to you subsequent to the Liquidity Transaction Date).

 

  o.

You acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund is currently treated as a partnership and intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective on the day after the date of the Liquidity Transaction and, accordingly, if you do not sell 100% of your Common Shares pursuant to this Election Form, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as receiving a liquidating distribution of RIC shares in exchange for your partnership interest (the “Deemed Exchange”). In order to confirm that no withholding is required under Section 1446(f) of the Code upon the Deemed Exchange, if you have not previously provided the Fund a valid Form W-9 that remains in effect, you hereby declare, under penalties of perjury, that you have reviewed the following certifications and they are, to the best of your knowledge and belief, true, correct, and complete, and that, if this Election Form is being provided on behalf of an entity, the signatories hereto have authority to sign this document on the entity’s behalf:

  p.

If you are selling any portion of your Common Shares pursuant to this Election Form and do not provide a new duly executed and completed IRS Form W-9 in connection herewith, you may be subject to withholding under Section 1446(f) on the Code of up to 10% of the “amount realized” by you on the sale, and you authorize Fund, the Adviser, the Liquidity Escrow Trust and their affiliates may make and report all such withholding to the extent required by law, as determined in their discretion.

 

  2.

If you are an Electing Shareholder or making a Deemed Election, by executing the Election Form or making a Deemed Election, you represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree for the benefit of the Fund, the Adviser and their respective affiliates, and the Liquidity Escrow Trust and its affiliates, as follows:

 

  a.

You are the owner of all of the Common Shares you have elected to transfer in the Liquidity Transaction.

 

  b.

You acknowledge that the Fund established the Liquidity Escrow Trust to facilitate the completion of the Liquidity Transaction, and the Liquidity Escrow Trust will be the initial purchaser of any Common Shares you sell in connection with the Liquidity Transaction.

  e.

Upon request, you will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Fund to be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the sale and transfer of your Common Shares pursuant to the Liquidity Transaction, and you will take any such other actions as reasonably requested by the Fund.

  g.

The Fund may provide a copy of your completed Election Form to the Liquidity Escrow Trust and any other parties necessary or advisable to complete the Liquidity Transaction.

 

  h.

You agree to (i) relinquish all right, title and interest of every kind, nature and description in the Common Shares being transferred hereby and (ii) cease to be holder of the Common Shares being transferred hereby and relinquish all of your rights, obligations and liabilities with respect to such Common Shares, including with respect to taxes assessed or refunded at the level of the Fund (but, for the avoidance of doubt, you remain liable for any obligations described in Section 1.n.).
