FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Credit Suisse Park View BDC, Inc. Announces Tender Offer

Also Announces Temporary Suspension of Continuous Public Offering of Shares

NEW YORK, September 1, 2016 — Credit Suisse Park View BDC, Inc. (“Park View” or the “Company”) today announced an offer to purchase for cash up to 1,353,988 of its issued and outstanding common shares at a cash purchase price of $8.79 per share pursuant to a tender offer that will commence on September 1, 2016 and expire at 11:59 PM, Eastern Time, on September 29, 2016, unless extended. Credit Suisse Alternative Capital, LLC (“CSAC”), which owns approximately 94% of the common shares of the Company, will not participate in the tender offer. After the completion of the tender offer, it is expected that CSAC will be the sole remaining owner of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, although completion of the tender offer is not conditioned on all non-CSAC shareholders tendering their shares.

Park View is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has made an election to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is incorporated in Maryland. Credit Suisse Asset Management LLC is the Company’s investment adviser.

CSAC is seeking liquidity for its interest in the Company, but there is no assurance that a transaction will occur. Given the controlling position of CSAC, any sale of CSAC’s interest would enable a buyer to control the Company. The tender offer is not conditioned on the successful sale of CSAC’s interest in the Company or the closing of any other transaction affecting the Company.

Park View also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the temporary suspension of the continuous public offering of common shares of the Company pursuant to the Company’s prospectus dated May 5, 2016, as supplemented on May 20, 2016 (the “Offering”). The temporary suspension of the Offering is effective September 1, 2016. The Board of Directors determined to suspend the Offering in light of the tender offer and the potential for a strategic transaction.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC has been actively assisting the Company in seeking to effect a strategic transaction that would enable CSAC to obtain liquidity for its interest in the Company.
