“Carlyle Credit Income Fund Announces Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Shares”
New York – January 31, 2025 – Carlyle Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”) (NYSE: CCIF), an externally managed closed-end fund focused on investing in primarily equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations, has entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors for the purchase and sale of approximately 20,000 shares of the Fund’s 7.50% Series C Convertible Preferred Shares due January 2030 (the “Convertible Preferred Shares”), liquidation preference $1,000.00 per share. The Fund expects to receive net proceeds (before expenses) from the sale of the Convertible Preferred Shares of approximately $18.6 million. The offering is expected to close on or about January 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Convertible Preferred Shares pay a quarterly dividend at a fixed annual rate of 7.50% of the liquidation preference, or $75.00 per share, per year.
The Fund is required to redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, all outstanding Convertible Preferred Shares on January 31, 2030, or the “Term Redemption Date,” at a price equal to the liquidation preference plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest on such dividends) to, but excluding, the Term Redemption Date.
At any time on or after July 31, 2025, at the Fund’s sole option, the Fund may redeem, from time to time, the Convertible Preferred Shares in whole or in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a price per share equal to the sum of the liquidation preference plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest on such dividends) to, but excluding, the date fixed for such redemption.
Each holder of a Convertible Preferred Share shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert any such Convertible Preferred Share, at any time on or after the date six months after the issuance date of the Convertible Preferred Share (the “Convertibility Date”) and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Term Redemption Date, into such number of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) equal to the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions on such Share accumulated to (but excluding) the date of exercise, divided by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” is the greater of (i) the market price per Common Share, the average official closing price for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of exercise, or (ii) the Fund’s most recently reported net asset value per Common Share immediately prior to the date of exercise.
The Convertible Preferred Shares will not be listed on any exchange and may not be transferred without the consent of the Fund.
