Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In
connection with the previously announced public offering, on May 27, 2026, Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company”)
and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”),
entered into the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”) to the Base Indenture, dated as of October 2,
2020, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture” and together with the Sixth Supplemental Indenture,
the “Indenture”). The Sixth Supplemental Indenture relates to the Company’s issuance and sale of $500.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes” and the issuance and sale of the Notes, the “Offering”).
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s senior
secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “JPM Credit Facility”). However, the Company may re-borrow
under the JPM Credit Facility or borrow under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility with GC Advisors LLC for general
corporate purposes, which may include investing in portfolio companies in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy.
The
Notes mature on June 1, 2031, unless previously redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The Notes bear interest at
a rate of 6.250% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1,
2026. The Notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s
future indebtedness or other obligations that are expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right
of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness or other obligations that are not so subordinated or junior; effectively
junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness or other obligations (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later
secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness
and other obligations (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
Prior
to May 1, 2031 (one month prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem
the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the
Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate (as defined in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture) plus 35 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption and
(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption
date. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. In addition, if a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Sixth Supplemental
Indenture) occurs in respect of the Company, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of their
Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but not including, the repurchase date.
The
Indenture contains certain covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified
by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor provisions, but giving
effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and to provide
financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are set
forth in the Indenture.
The
Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-286240)
previously filed with the SEC, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 19, 2026, the pricing term sheet
filed with the SEC on May 19, 2026, and a final prospectus supplement dated May 19, 2026. The transaction closed on May 27,
2026. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities,
nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
The
description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Base Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, and the Notes

Indenture, and the form of global note representing the Notes, respectively, which are incorporated

SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
between
GOLUB CAPITAL BDC, INC.
and
U.S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
as Trustee
Dated as of May 27, 2026
SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
THIS SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Sixth
Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of May 27, 2026, is between Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association),
as trustee (the “Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set
forth in the Base Indenture (as defined below).
RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
The Company and the Trustee executed and delivered
an Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2020 (the “Base Indenture” and, as amended and supplemented by this Sixth
Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of the Company’s
secured or unsecured indebtedness (the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Indenture.
The Company desires to issue and sell $500,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).
The Company previously entered
into the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2021 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), the Third Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of August 3, 2021 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), the Fourth Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of December 5, 2023 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of February 1, 2024 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), each of which supplemented the Base Indenture. The
First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture,
and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture are not applicable to the Notes.
Sections 9.01(iv) and 9.01(vi) of the
Base Indenture provide that without the consent of Holders of the Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, the Company, when
authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures
supplemental to the Base Indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to (i) change or eliminate any of the provisions
of the Indenture when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture that
is entitled to the benefit of such provision and (ii) establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.01
and Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture.
The Company desires to establish the form and terms
of the Notes and to modify, alter, supplement and change certain provisions of the Base Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes (except as may be provided in a future supplemental indenture to the Indenture (each, a “Future Supplemental Indenture”)).
The Company has duly authorized the execution and
delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture to provide for the issuance of the Notes and all acts and things necessary to make this
Sixth Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal obligation of the Company and to constitute a valid agreement of the Company,
in accordance with its terms, have been done and performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the
premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders
of the Notes, as follows:
ARTICLE I
TERMS OF THE NOTES
Section 1.01 Terms
of the Notes. The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established:
(a) The
Notes shall constitute a series of Senior Securities having the title “6.250% Notes due 2031.” The Notes shall bear a CUSIP
number of 38173M AF9 and an ISIN number of US38173MAF95.
(b) The
aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be initially authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated
and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06,
9.06, 11.07 or 13.05 of the Base Indenture, and except for any Securities that, pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, are
deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered under the Indenture) shall be $500,000,000. Under a Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or a Future Supplemental Indenture, the Company may, from time to time, without the consent
of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the
same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes; provided that, if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes (or
any other tranche of Additional Notes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Notes will have different CUSIP and
ISIN numbers from the Notes (and any such other tranche of Additional Notes). Any Additional Notes and the existing Notes will constitute
a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context
otherwise requires.
(c) The
entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on June 1, 2031, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance
with the provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.
(d) The
rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 6.250% per annum. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be
May 27, 2026, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for; the Interest Payment Dates
for the Notes shall be June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2026 (if an Interest Payment Date falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, then the applicable interest payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional
interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment); the initial interest period will be the period from and including May 27,
2026 (or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for), to, but excluding, the initial Interest
Payment Date, and the subsequent interest periods will be the periods from and including an Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the
next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be May 15 and November 15 (whether or not
a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and
any such interest on the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other address as designated by the
Trustee, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (1) check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (2) transfer to an account maintained
by the Person entitled thereto located in the United States; provided, further, however, that so long as the Notes are registered
to Cede & Co., such payment will be made by wire transfer in accordance with the procedures established by The Depository Trust
Company and the Trustee. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(e) The
Notes shall be initially issuable in global form (each such Note, a “Global Note”). The Global Notes and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Each
Global Note shall represent the aggregate amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it
shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding
Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement
of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made
by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 3.05 of the Base Indenture.
(f) The
depository for such Global Notes (the “Depository”) shall be The Depository Trust Company. The Security Registrar with
respect to the Global Notes shall be the Trustee.
(g) The
Notes shall be defeasible pursuant to Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 of the Base Indenture. Covenant defeasance contained in
Section 14.03 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the covenants contained in Sections 10.08 and 10.09 of the Indenture.
(h) The
Notes shall be redeemable pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture and as follows:
(i) Prior
to May 1, 2031 (one month prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem
the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date)
on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points less (b) interest
accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
(ii) On
or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
(iii) “Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
(iv) The
Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government
securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption
date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release
published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15”
(or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury
constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury
Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period
from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H. 15 immediately longer than the Remaining
Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and
rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer
than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H. 15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this
paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant
number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
(v) If
on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the
Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with
a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call
Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United
States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities
maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company
shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest
to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.
In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United
States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at
11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
(vi) The
Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(vii) Notice
of redemption shall be given in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery,
by facsimile, or by electronic mail, provided that so long as the Notes are registered to Cede & Co., such notice shall be given
in accordance with the Trustee’s and the Depository’s standard practices and procedures, to each Holder of the Notes to be
redeemed, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the Holder’s address, facsimile
number or email address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall contain the information set forth in Section 11.04
of the Base Indenture.
(viii) Any
exercise of the Company’s option to redeem the Notes will be done in compliance with the Indenture and the Investment Company Act,
to the extent applicable.
(ix) If
the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the Notes, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the
applicable procedures of the Depository so long as the Notes are registered to the Depository or its nominee and, if the Notes to be redeemed
are not then held by the Depository, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (A) if the Notes are listed on any national
securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed,
(B) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (C) to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not
practicable, by lot or such other similar method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no such partial
redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000.
(x) Unless
the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
called for redemption hereunder.
(i) The
Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Base Indenture.
(j) The
Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(k) Holders
of the Notes will not have the option to have the Notes repaid prior to the Stated Maturity other than in accordance with Article Thirteen
of the Indenture.
(l) The
Notes are hereby designated as “Senior Securities” under the Indenture.
ARTICLE II

of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade
by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction
in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment
Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction
in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s

instrument of the Company or its Controlled Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be any such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person”
or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than any Permitted Holders)

indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs,
unless the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes in full, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of the Notes
to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount in excess thereof)
of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change
of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute
the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be
no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of
consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring
on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 promulgated
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable
in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 13.01, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 13.01 by virtue of such conflict.
On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment
date, subject to extension if necessary to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act, the Company shall, to the extent
lawful:
(i) accept
for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to its offer;
(ii) deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;
and
(iii) deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company.
The Paying Agent will promptly remit to each Holder
of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and, upon written instruction from the Company, the Trustee will promptly
authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof.
If any Repayment Date upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.
The Company will not be required to make an offer
to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in respect of the Notes in the manner,
at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.”

6.250% Notes due 2031
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue
of Senior Securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2020 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned
to it in such instrument), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank
National Association), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture),
and reference is hereby made to the Base Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered, as amended and supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture relating to the Securities, dated as of May 27,
2026, between the Company and the Trustee (herein called the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”; and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture
and the Base Indenture together are herein called the “Indenture”). In the event of any conflict between the Base Indenture
and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and control.
This Security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000. Under a Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or an indenture supplement, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders
of Securities, issue additional Securities of this series (in any such case “Additional Securities”) having the same ranking
and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities; provided that, if such Additional Securities are not fungible
with the Securities (or any other tranche of Additional Securities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Securities
will have different CUSIP and ISIN numbers from the Securities represented hereby (and any such other tranche of Additional Securities).
Any Additional Securities and the existing Securities will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant
Securities herein shall include the Additional Securities unless the context otherwise requires. The aggregate amount of outstanding Securities
represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.
Prior to May 1, 2031 (one month prior to the
maturity date of the Securities) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal
places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming
a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date
of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may
redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect
to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
A-5
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company
after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent
day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”)
under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption
or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for
the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining
Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one
yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant
maturity on H. 15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis
(using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H. 15
closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be
deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from
the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption
date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based
on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business
day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par
Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United
States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call
Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity
date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more
United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more
United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid
and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance
with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon
the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United
States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The Company’s actions and determinations
in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of redemption shall be given in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery, by facsimile or by electronic mail to each
Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the
Holder’s address, facsimile number or email address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall contain
the information set forth in Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture.
Any exercise of the Company’s option to redeem
the Securities will be done in compliance with the Indenture and the Investment Company Act, to the extent applicable.
If the Company elects to redeem only a portion
of the Securities, the particular Securities to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository
so long as the Securities are registered to the Depository or its nominee and, if the Securities to be redeemed are not then held by the
Depository or its nominee, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed (A) if the Securities are listed on any national
securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed,
(B) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (C) to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not
practicable, by lot or such other similar method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no such partial
redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than $2,000.
A-6
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption
Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities called for redemption.
Holders will have the right to require the Company
to repurchase their Securities upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event as set forth in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security,
in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of this series shall occur and be continuing (other than Events of Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
as set forth in the Indenture), the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the Indenture,
100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities will automatically become due and payable.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders
of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect
of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, security or both satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall
have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, security
or both. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
A-7
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on
this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities
of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only
in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration
of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Security which are defined
in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Indenture and this Security shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Exhibit 5.1
May 27, 2026
Golub Capital BDC, Inc.
200 Park Avenue, 25th Floor
New York, NY 10166
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel
to Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the public offering
of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% unsecured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”),
pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-286240) filed under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), which Registration Statement became automatically effective upon filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities
Act, on March 31, 2025 (such Registration Statement, as of its effective date, together with the Base Prospectus (as defined below)
and the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”) and the Prospectus Supplement
(as defined below).
The Registration Statement
relates to the public offering of securities of the Company that may be offered by the Company from time to time as set forth in the base
prospectus, dated March 28, 2025, which forms part of the Registration Statement, together with the information incorporated by reference
therein (the “Base Prospectus”), and as may be set forth from time to time in one or more supplements to the

and the Prospectus Supplement.
The Notes will be issued
pursuant to the indenture, dated October 2, 2020, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as
successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the
sixth supplemental indenture, dated May 27, 2026, by and between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”).

a Delaware limited liability company, and Golub Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on the one hand, and Wells Fargo Securities,
LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Santander US Capital Markets LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc.,
as representatives of the several underwriters named in Exhibit A thereto, on the other hand.
With respect to such examination
and our opinion expressed herein, we have assumed, without any independent investigation or verification, (i) the genuineness of
all signatures on all documents submitted to us for examination, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed
or reproduced copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents, (v) that all certificates issued by public officials
or officers of the Company have been properly issued, (vi) the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records made available
to us by the Company, (vii) that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the parties thereto (other than the
Company), and (viii) that at the time of issuance of the Notes, after giving effect to such
issuance, the Company will be in compliance with Section 18(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”), giving effect to Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act.
This opinion letter has been
prepared, and should be interpreted, in accordance with customary practice followed in the preparation of opinion letters by lawyers who
regularly give, and such customary practice followed by lawyers who on behalf of their clients regularly advise opinion recipients regarding,
opinion letters of this kind.
As to certain matters of fact
relevant to the opinions in this opinion letter, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company,
and on the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. We also have relied upon
certificates and confirmations of public officials. We have not independently established the facts, or in the case of certificates or
confirmations of public officials (which we have assumed remain accurate as of the date of this opinion letter), the other statements,
so relied upon.
The opinion set forth below
is limited to the contract laws of the State of New York, as in effect on the date hereof, and we express no opinion with respect to any
other laws of the State of New York or the laws of any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the preceding sentence, we express no opinion
as to any state securities or broker-dealer laws or regulations thereunder relating to the offer, issuance or sale of the Notes.
On the basis of and subject
to the foregoing, and subject to the all of the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, we are of
the opinion that, when the Notes are duly executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company and duly authenticated by
the Trustee, all in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment of the agreed
consideration therefor, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and by general principles
of equity (including, without limitation, the availability of specific performance or injunctive relief and the application of concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

undertake, to advise the Company or any other person or entity either of any change of law or fact that occurs, or of any fact that comes
to our attention, after the date of this opinion letter, even though such change or such fact may affect the legal analysis or a legal
conclusion in this opinion letter.
We hereby consent to the
filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission on
the date hereof for incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement, and to the reference to our firm in the “Legal Matters”
