Disclaimer  This presentation is for informational purposes only. It does not convey an offer of any type and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to  buy, any securities of Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Any such offering can be made only at the time a qualified offeree receives a confidential private  placement memorandum and other operative documents which contain significant details with respect to risks and should be carefully read. In addition, the information in this presentation is qualified  in its entirety by reference to all of the information in the Company’s confidential private placement memorandum and the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the  “SEC”), including without limitation, the risk factors. Nothing in this presentation constitutes investment advice. The Company’s securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or listed on any securities exchange. You or your clients may lose money by investing in the Company. The  Company is not intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment  objectives.  The information contained herein is not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon for, accounting, legal or tax advice or investment recommendations. Prospective investors should also seek  advice from their own independent tax, accounting, financial, investment and legal advisors to properly assess the merits and risks associated with an investment in the Company in light of their own  financial condition and other circumstances. These materials and the presentations of which they are a part, and the summaries contained herein, do not purport to be complete and no obligation to update or otherwise revise such information is  being assumed. Nothing shall be relied upon as a promise or representation as to the future performance of the Company. Such information is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed  discussions contained elsewhere in the Company’s confidential private placement memorandum and public filings with the SEC.  An investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There can be no guarantee that the Company’s investment objective will be achieved. The Company may engage in  other investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. An investor could lose all or substantially all of his, her or its investment. The Company may not provide periodic valuation  information to investors, and there may be delays in distributing important tax information. The Company’s fees and expenses may be considered high and, as a result, such fees and expenses may  offset the Company’s profits. For a summary of certain of these and other risks, please see the Company’s confidential private placement memorandum and public filings with the SEC.  There is no guarantee that any of the estimates, targets or projections illustrated in these materials and any presentation of which they form a part will be achieved.  Any references herein to any of  the Company’s past or present investments or its past or present performance, have been provided for illustrative purposes only. It should not be assumed that these investments were or will be  profitable or that any future investments by the Company will be profitable or will equal the performance of these investments. This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue  reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company, our  current  and  prospective  portfolio  investments,  our  industry,  our  beliefs  and  opinions,  and  our  assumptions.  Words  such  as  “anticipates,”  “expects,”  “intends,”  “plans,”  “will,”  “may,”  “continue,”  “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are outlined in the Company’s confidential private  placement memorandum and public filings with the SEC, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or  forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Company is providing the information as of this date (unless otherwise specified) and assumes no obligations to update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additionally, our actual results and financial condition may differ materially as a result of the continued impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including without limitation: the length  and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States as well as worldwide and the magnitude of the economic impact of that outbreak; the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business  prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, including our and their ability to achieve our respective objectives; and the effect of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on our  ability to continue to effectively manage our business (including on our ability to source and close new investment opportunities) and on the availability of equity and debt capital and our use of  borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments. All capitalized terms in the presentation have the same definitions as the Company’s 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Liquidity  The  Company  has  ample  liquidity  of $269   million1  available  through  uncalled   committed  equity  capital  and  debt  financing  capacity  to  execute  on  attractive  new   investment opportunities.
