The information in this Report, including the exhibits hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed

Forward-Looking Statements
This Report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include, but are not limited to,
statements related to our expectations, estimates, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and
similar expressions and statements that are not historical facts, including our expectations regarding the performance of our
business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, contingencies, and our dividend policy. You can identify these
forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “targets,” or the negative
version of these words or other comparable words. Statements related to projected Assets Under Management Distributable
Earnings, Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”), FRE Margin, inflows, and fee revenue for future periods could be impacted by the
level of investment performance, our ability to fundraise and the fees we can charge on such commitments, the pace and scale of
capital deployment, which may not be consistent with historical levels, the pace and success of exit activity, changes in
regulations and laws (including tax laws), our ability to scale existing businesses and wind-down underperforming businesses,
our ability to manage expenses and retain key personnel, our ability to manage stock dilution, and our ability to charge and retain
transaction fees. Even if we were to achieve our goals, there is no guarantee that such fundraising will translate into increased
earnings and margins. There can be no assurance that the Company’s strategic goals will ultimately be realized, or if realized that
they will have the effect of accelerating our growth or earnings. All projections assume benign market conditions. Such forward-
looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Accordingly, there are or will be important
factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements including, but not
limited to, those described in this Report and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2025, as
such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary
statements that are included in this Report and in our other periodic filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.
This Report does not constitute an offer for any Carlyle fund.
