Blackstone / GSO Senior Floating Rate Term Fund

Notes to Quarterly Portfolio of Investments

September 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Blackstone / GSO Senior Floating Rate Term Fund (the “Fund” or “BSL”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized in Delaware on March 4, 2010. The Fund was registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on March 5, 2010. The Fund commenced operations on May 26, 2010. Prior to that, BSL had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 common shares of beneficial interest in the Fund to GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as BSL’s investment adviser. The Fund’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) and trade under the ticker symbol “BSL.”

Absent shareholder approval to extend the term of the BSL, the Fund will dissolve on or about May 31, 2020. Upon dissolution, BSL will distribute substantially all of its net assets to shareholders, after making appropriate provision for any liabilities of the Fund. Pursuant to the Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), prior to the date of dissolution a majority of the Board of Trustees, with the approval of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote (as defined in the 1940 Act) may extend the life of the Fund. If approved, the dissolution date of the Fund may be extended by a period of two years or such shorter time as may be determined. However, the dissolution date of the Fund may be extended an unlimited number of times.

BSL’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income, with a secondary objective to seek preservation of capital, consistent with its primary goal of high current income. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in senior secured, floating rate loans (“Senior Loans” together with second lien secured loans and unsecured loans, “Loans”).

BSL is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, it can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. BSL may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political, or regulatory occurrence.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of its financial statements is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

Portfolio Valuation: BSL’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be determined daily on each day that the Exchange is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. The Fund calculates NAV per share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of the Fund.

Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the BSL’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Corporate bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Various inputs are used to determine the value of BSL’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own


assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date.

Level 2— Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended September 30, 2012 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The categorization of a value determined for investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instruments and does not necessarily correspond to BSL’s perceived risk of investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2012 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

NOTE 3. SENIOR FLOATING RATE LOANS

BSL defines “Senior Loans” as first lien senior secured, floating rate loans that are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrowers”), which operate in various industries and geographical regions. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of BSL’s Managed Assets (defined below) will be invested in Senior Loans. BSL defines Managed Assets as total assets (Including any assets attributable to any leverage used) minus the sum of BSL’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities Incurred for any leverage). At September 30, 2012, 83.27% of BSL’s Managed Assets were held in Senior Loans.

Senior Loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, are typically secured with specific collateral and typically have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower.

Loans often require prepayments from Borrowers’ excess cash flows or permit the Borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, floating rate loans typically have an expected average life of two to four years. Floating rate loans typically have rates of interest which are re-determined periodically, either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a floating base lending rate, primarily London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a premium or credit spread.

Loans are subject to the risk of payment defaults of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment could result in a reduction of income, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. Risk of loss of income is generally higher for unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to the Fund in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.

Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loans except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a second lien loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Second lien loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and collateral securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior unsecured or senior secured obligations of the Borrower. At September 30, 2012, BSL had invested $24,457,104 in second lien secured loans. Second lien secured loans are not considered Senior Loans for BSL.

Loans can be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Loans may be similar to the risks of other below investment grade securities, although they are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated or unsecured. BSL typically invests in Loans rated below investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Such companies are more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to BSL, and such defaults could reduce net asset value and income distributions. The amount of public information available with respect to below investment grade loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part, on analyses performed by others. The Adviser’s established best execution procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by the risk and valuation committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by the committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets.

BSL may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. BSL typically acquires these Loans through assignment, and if it acquires a Loan through participation, will elevate a participation interest into an assignment as soon as practicably possible. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and BSL may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the Loan and with regard to any associated collateral. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when BSL must acquire a Loan


through a participation. The Adviser has established a risk and valuation committee that regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty for, among other things, its quality and the quality of its execution.

NOTE 4. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION/ (DEPRECIATION)

On September 30, 2012, based on cost of $411,311,870 for federal income tax purposes, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $7,614,502 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $3,606,113, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $4,008,389.
