Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This Form 4 is being filed jointly by (i) Ares Capital Management II LLC ("ACM"), (ii) Ares Partners Management Company LLC ("APMC"), (iii) Ares Investments Holdings LLC ("AIH") and (iv) Ares Investments LLC ("AI") (collectively, the "Ares Entities" or the "Reporting Persons"), in respect of 42,185.602 shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of Ares Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. (the "Issuer") held directly by AIH.
(2)	APMC is the ultimate parent company of ACM, which is the Issuer's investment adviser. AIH is controlled by AI, which, in turn, is controlled by APMC. APMC is managed by an executive committee comprised of Michael Arougheti, David Kaplan, Gregory Margolies, Antony Ressler and Bennett Rosenthal. Because the executive committee acts by consensus/majority approval, none of the members of the executive committee has sole voting or dispositive power with respect to any shares of Common Stock.
(3)	Each of the members of the executive committee of APMC, the Ares Entities (other than AIH, with respect to the shares it holds directly) and the directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members and managers of the Ares Entities expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, and this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purposes.
Remarks: Ares Partners Management Company LLC also files on behalf of its subsidiaries.
