The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is a market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the U.S. leveraged loan market based upon market weightings, spreads and interest payments. New issues are added to the index if they qualify according to the following criteria: loan facilities must be senior secured; minimum initial term of one year; US dollar denominated; minimum initial spread of LIBOR + 125 basis points; $50M initially funded loans. The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Bond Index measures the USD-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody's, Fitch and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. Bonds from issuers with an emerging markets country of risk, based on Barclays EM country definition, are excluded. Indices are unmanaged, include reinvested income and cannot be purchased directly by investors.

We are pleased to present the Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) 2019 Annual Review.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund’s Class I shares returned 5.48% for the year ending December 31, 2019. The full-year dividend for Class A, I, L, Y, and N shares were $0.72, $0.79, $0.75, $0.77 and $0.61 (not in existence in 1Q19), respectively. The weighted average total yield of the Fund’s portfolio at fair value was 9.4% and the annualized distribution rates for the various classes were: Class A (without sales charge) 8.20%, Class I 9.04%, Class L (without sales charge) 8.57%, Class Y 8.82% and Class N 9.06%¹.

FUND REVIEW

In addition to the Class A, I, L and Y shares, which have been in operation since 2018, the Class N shares commenced operations on April 18, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had $120 million of Net Assets and, by utilizing leverage, total assets (including cash and other assets) of $175 million. As a percentage of total assets, the Fund’s portfolio, leveraged, consisted of 44.8% first-lien debt investments, 31.8% second-lien debt investments, 10.3% Structured Credit investments, 7.3% unsecured investments, 0.4% unlisted equity (including warrants), 4.1% cash & equivalents, and 1.3% other assets. These levels are in line with concentration limits disclosed to the Fund’s shareholders. Eighty-six percent of the Fund’s debt investments were floating rate in nature. The Fund had debt investments across 87 portfolio companies with an average investment size of less than 2% of the total portfolio. Eighty percent of the portfolio represented investments in companies located in the United States. All debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of December 31, 2019.

Toward the end of the year, we saw dispersion in the trading levels of certain issuers that led to increased volatility in the Fund’s portfolio. Specifically, certain names in the most liquid portion of the portfolio, comprised of leveraged loans and CLO tranches, saw mark-to-market movements that negatively impacted NAV. Toward the end of the year, we saw the trading performance in some of those names reverse course and partially offset the mark-to-market losses. We continue to believe that the overall portfolio is of high credit quality and is well positioned to perform over the duration of an economic cycle.

The largest industries in the Fund’s portfolio were Media, Professional Services and Software, which collectively represented ~41% of net assets. We expect the Fund’s portfolio to continue to diversify across industry classifications as the Fund grows.

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund’s total assets were allocated 32.5% to Opportunistic Credit, 31.3% to Direct Lending, 20.5% to Liquid Credit, 10.3% to Structured Credit, 4.1% to cash & equivalents and 1.3% to other assets.

 

¹Distribution rates are calculated by annualizing the respective distributions announced on December 31, 2019 and dividing these amounts by the respective net asset values as of December 31, 2019.

Market Review

The prices of risk assets, including those in the private credit markets, generally improved during the fourth quarter, ending the year on a positive note. Investor sentiment was buoyed by improved prospects for a U.S. / China trade deal, a more dovish tone from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and stable economic data. The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points in Q4 for the third time in 2019, but signaled a more patient go-forward approach.

The U.S. leveraged loan market returned +1.7% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and +8.6% for the year, its highest annual total return since 2016. Dispersion among credit ratings was a key theme for 2019 in both leveraged loan and high yield markets, as investors flocked to higher quality assets across the capital markets. This trend led to outperformance and spread-tightening for higher rated assets. Growing investor aversion toward lower-quality issuers was more pronounced during the fourth quarter, with the main activity in the primary market from higher quality opportunistic issuers looking to take advantage of strong market conditions to lower the coupons on their existing debt.

Demand for leveraged loans continued to be driven by significant new CLO creation. Retail loan funds witnessed $29 billion of outflows for 2019, while $118 billion of new CLO vehicles priced in 2019, just slightly lagging the near-record demand in 2018. Retail funds have become a less meaningful part of the demand story as the market size has decreased and CLO creation has been significant enough to more than offset ongoing outflows. CLOs represent more than 70% of all institutional issuance in 2019, the highest share ever.

In the middle market, total institutional loan issuance in 2019 was approximately $67 billion, down 6% year-over-year. Throughout 2019, borrowers continued to prefer accessing lenders directly rather than testing the broadly syndicated markets. We believe that this trend is driven largely by the structural advantages of direct lending, including the speed of execution, certainty of pricing, and transparency of the lender base. With continued demand for direct lending deals, transaction terms and documentation generally remain credit-specific as the highly sought-after financings continue to price with tight spreads and borrower-friendly covenant packages. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that directly-originated private credit transactions, along with more complex instruments such as CLO tranches, offer a compelling risk-reward proposition with structural downside protections.

Strategy & Outlook

Since inception of the Fund in June 2018, we have been able to create our desired portfolio across industries and issuers, consisting primarily of floating rate, senior secured loans (both quasi-liquid positions and illiquid private credit deals). As the Fund continues to grow, we continue to rotate out of the liquid portion of the portfolio and into the Fund’s more illiquid strategies such as Opportunistic Credit.

From a top-down view, the Adviser’s Portfolio Allocation Advisory Committee (“PAAC”), which oversees the allocation among the different credit sectors for the Fund, held targeted exposures to the Fund’s underlying strategies constant throughout 2019. While there are certainly market indicators suggesting that we are in the later stages of the credit cycle, we remain

4        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

generally positive about market fundamentals and the opportunity set of investments for the Fund. We continue to believe it is prudent to maintain a defensive posture in liquid credit, while looking to

augment portfolio returns and diversification by allocating to more idiosyncratic opportunities, such as non-sponsored opportunistic lending and structured credit investments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2019

1. Organization

Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) (prior to November 4, 2019, the Fund was named OFI Carlyle Private Credit Fund) was organized as a statutory trust in the State of Delaware on December 13, 2017. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value.

Prior to October 24, 2019, the Fund’s investment adviser was OC Private Capital, LLC (“OC Private Capital”), a joint venture between an affiliate of Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") and Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“Carlyle”), and had entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Fund. OC Private Capital had, in turn, entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM”)(a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle), whereby OC Private Capital oversaw the allocation of the Fund’s assets to its underlying credit strategies, and CGCIM sourced and made investment decisions within each strategy.

Effective October 24, 2019, CGCIM became the Fund’s investment adviser. As the investment adviser (the "Adviser"), CGCIM oversees the allocation of the Fund’s assets to its underlying credit strategies, and sources and makes investment decisions within each strategy, as further discussed in Note 10. Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco, acted as the Fund’s principal underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Fund's shares. See further information regarding the Distributor in Note 11.

The Fund offers Class A, Class I, Class L, and Class Y shares. Effective April 18, 2019, the Fund offers Class N shares. The Fund's Shares are offered on a monthly basis. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications directly attributable to that class. Class A, L, and Y have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class N do not pay such fees.

The Fund seeks to produce current income by opportunistically allocating its assets across a wide range of credit strategies.

The Fund’s shares are offered for sale monthly through its Distributor at the then-current net asset value ("NAV") plus any applicable sales load. The price of the shares during the Fund’s continuous offering will fluctuate over time with the NAV of the shares. The sales load payable by each investor depends upon the amount invested by the investor in the Fund, but may range from 0.00% to 3.50%.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946Financial Services- Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund's preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2019   Continued

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Basis for Consolidation. The Fund has established a limited liability company, OCPC Credit Facility SPV LLC, which is wholly owned and controlled by the Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Adviser. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is a disregarded entity for tax purposes.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

During the year and at year end, the Fund owned 100% of the Subsidiary.

Other financial information of the Subsidiary during the year and at year end include:

Total market value of investments	$124,266,924
Net assets	$82,859,063
Net income (loss)	$10,151,951
Net realized gain (loss)	$(156,175)
Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation	$(3,147,703)

Foreign Currency Translation.The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at market close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at market close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly or at other times as determined necessary by the Adviser.

Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily using the effective interest method.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

Total Distributable Earnings	Accumulated Loss Carryforward	Net Unrealized Depreciation Based on cost of Securities and Other Investments for Federal Income Tax Purposes
$20,614	$(307,397)	$(7,003,457)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Reduction to Paid-in Capital	Increase to Accumulated Loss
$18,810	$18,810

The tax character of distributions paid during the reporting periods:

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the partnerships and non-deductible expenses adjustments.

Federal tax cost of securities	$172,731,666
Gross unrealized appreciation	$1,220,452
Gross unrealized depreciation	(8,223,909)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2018-13 which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management has elected to early adopt the amendments that allow for removal of certain disclosure requirements and plans to adopt the amendments that require additional fair value measurement disclosures upon the effective date. Management does not anticipate material impact from these changes on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Securities Valuation

As an interval fund, the Fund is required to calculate a NAV on at least a weekly basis and at each month-end date (each NAV calculation date herein referred to as the "Valuation Date"). The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each Valuation Date, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Adviser. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary. The Adviser and the Board are responsible for the accuracy, reliability and completeness of any market or fair market valuation determinations made with respect to the Fund’s assets.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

The Adviser values securities traded in active markets on the valuation date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held.

The Adviser values liquid securities that are not traded in an active market using a mid-price determined by an approved independent pricing vendor. Standard inputs considered by independent pricing vendors for structured finance obligations include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable

29        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2019   Continued

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors. Standard inputs generally considered by independent pricing vendors for loans include information obtained from market participants regarding broker-dealer price quotations.

The Fund expects that it will hold a high proportion of illiquid investments relative to its total investments, which is directly related to the Fund’s investment philosophy and target portfolio. The Board has engaged independent valuation firms to assist in fair valuing the Fund’s illiquid investments on at least a monthly basis. Any retained independent valuation firm will have expertise in complex valuations associated with alternative investments and utilize a variety of techniques to calculate a security’s valuation. The valuation approach may vary by security but may include comparable public market valuations, comparable transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment (e.g., operating results, financial condition, achievement of milestones, economic and/or market events and recent sales prices) may be considered.

Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an approved independent pricing vendor or valuation firm, or where valuations are determined to be inaccurate as a result of a significant event that has occurred, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) by a Valuation Committee determination using all available information at its disposal. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can realize the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security. If the Adviser reasonably believes a valuation from an independent valuation firm or pricing vendor is inaccurate or unreliable, the Adviser's Valuation Committee will consider an "override" of the particular valuation. The Valuation Committee will consider all available information at its disposal prior to making a valuation determination. The Valuation Committee is made up of individuals affiliated with Invesco.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser regularly compares prices from the prior valuation date and sale prices to the current day prices and validates those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the independent valuation vendor or firm. For those securities valued by a fair valuation, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in

30        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

both cases is the same—to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristic specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:

1) Level 1-inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 generally include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

2) Level 2-inputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. The type of financial instruments in this category generally includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, securities with recent observable market transactions, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

3) Level 3-inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category generally include investments in privately held entities, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in certain corporate loans and bonds are discount rates. A significant increase in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's investments in certain corporate loans are unadjusted prices provided by a third-party pricing service. The Adviser periodically reviews pricing vendor methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Such investments' fair value measurements could change significantly based on changes in broker quotes used by the pricing service.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in collateralized loan obligations are unadjusted prices provided by a third-party pricing service. The Adviser periodically reviews pricing vendor methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. A significant increase in the discount margin would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in common stock are enterprise value multiples. A significant decrease in the enterprise value multiple would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

34        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

4. Investments and Material Risks

Loans. The Fund invests in loans, either through primary issuances or in secondary transactions, including potentially on a synthetic basis. The value of the Fund’s loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations. There can be no assurance that the value assigned by the Adviser can be realized upon liquidation, nor can there be any assurance that any related collateral will retain its value. Furthermore, circumstances could arise (such as in the bankruptcy of a borrower) that could cause the Fund’s security interest in the loan’s collateral to be invalidated. Also, much of the collateral will be subject to restrictions on transfer intended to satisfy securities regulations, which will limit the number of potential purchasers if the Fund intends to liquidate such collateral. The amount realizable with respect to a loan may be detrimentally affected if a guarantor, if any, fails to meet its obligations under a guarantee. Finally, there may be a monetary, as well as a time cost involved in collecting on defaulted loans and, if applicable, taking possession of various types of collateral.

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). The Fund invests in CLOs, which are commonly issued in multiple tranches often categorized as senior, mezzanine and subordinated/equity according to their degree of risk. CLOs present risks similar to those of other types of debt obligations and such risks may be of greater significance in the case of CLOs depending upon the Fund’s ranking in the capital structure. In certain cases, losses may equal the total amount of the Fund’s principal investment. CLO securities carry additional risks, including: (1) the possibility that distributions from collateral assets will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (2) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (3) investments in CLO equity and junior debt tranches will likely be subordinate in right of payment to other senior classes of CLO debt; and (4) the complex structure of a particular security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results, especially during times of market stress or volatility.

Securities on a When-Issued or Forward Commitment Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell securities on a “forward commitment" basis to acquire the security or to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and prices. When such transactions are negotiated, the price is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. When-issued securities and forward commitments may be sold prior to the settlement date, but the Fund will enter into when-issued and forward commitments only with the intention of actually receiving or delivering the securities, as the case may be. If the Fund disposes of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or disposes of its right to deliver or receive against a forward commitment, it might incur a gain or loss. There is always a risk that the securities may not be delivered and that the Fund may incur a loss.

Settlements in the ordinary course, which may take substantially more than five business days, are not treated by the Fund as when-issued or forward commitment transactions. The settlements of secondary market purchases of senior loans in the ordinary course, on a settlement date beyond the period expected by loan market participants are subject to

35        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2019   Continued

4. Investments and Material Risks (Continued)

delayed compensation. Furthermore, the purchase of a senior loan in the secondary market is typically negotiated and finalized pursuant to a binding trade confirmation, and therefore, the risk of non-delivery of the security to the Fund is reduced or eliminated when compared with such risk when investing in when-issued or forward commitment securities.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may make investments in non-U.S. entities, including issuers in emerging markets. The Fund expects that its investment in non-U.S. issuers will be made primarily in U.S. dollar denominated securities, but it reserves the right to purchase securities that are foreign currency denominated. Some non-U.S. securities may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Shareholder Concentration. Related parties owned approximately 80% of the Fund's total outstanding shares at period end. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the Adviser and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees.

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the borrower under an instrument to make interest and principal payments as they become due. The Fund’s investments in loans and other debt instruments are subject to risk of missing an interest and/or principal payment.

Credit Spread Risk.Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects below-investment-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of below-investment-grade and unrated securities.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Prepayment Risk.Prepayment risk relates to the early repayment of principal on a loan or debt security. Loans are generally callable at any time, and certain loans may be callable at any time at no premium to par. Having the loan or other debt instrument called early may have the effect of reducing the Fund’s actual investment income below its expected investment income if the capital returned cannot be invested in transactions with equal or greater yields.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. The Fund's shares are offered on a monthly basis. As the Fund is an interval fund, it, subject to applicable law, will conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") at NAV. In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is likely that the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding Shares. It is also possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management & Incentive Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee calculated and payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's consolidated month-end net asset value.

Additionally, under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser an incentive fee. The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Fund’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter, and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s Net Assets, equal to 1.50% per quarter (or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.00%), subject to a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income, income generated from original issue discounts, payment-in-kind income, and any other income earned or accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses (which, for this purpose shall not include any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, litigation, any extraordinary expenses or Incentive Fee) for the quarter. For purposes of the Incentive Fee, net assets are calculated for the relevant quarter as the weighted average of the net asset value of the Fund as of the first business day of each month therein. The weighted average net asset value shall be calculated for each month by multiplying the net asset value as of the beginning of the first business day of the month times the number of days in that month, divided by the number of days in the applicable calendar quarter. There is no incentive fee charged on realized or unrealized capital gains. The calculation of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:

No incentive fee is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, does not exceed the quarterly hurdle rate of 1.50%; 100% of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.875% (7.50% annualized). This portion of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.875% is referred to as the “catch-up”.

The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Fund’s quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 1.875% of Net Assets. Lastly, 20% of the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable to the Adviser if the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets in respect of the relevant calendar quarter, exceeds 1.875% (7.50% annualized). As a result, once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser.

Incentive fees of $2,461,158 were earned by the Adviser for the year ended December 31, 2019.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Transfer Agent Fees.Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on various factors, including number of accounts and filings. Fees incurred with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to May 25, 2019, OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. served as the Transfer Agent.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.The Transfer Agent has retained DST Systems, Inc. (the "Sub-Transfer Agent") to serve as the Fund's distribution paying agent, sub-transfer agent and registrar. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not the Fund.

Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan Fees. Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") served as the Fund's principal underwriter and acted as the Distributor of the Fund's shares on a best efforts basis. The Fund intends to offer its shares, on a continual basis, through the Distributor. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") for the outstanding shares to compensate the Distributor for distributing the shares, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual distribution and shareholder service plan fee of up to 0.85% of its average monthly net assets. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to May 25, 2019, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. served as the Distributor. See further information regarding the Distributor in Note 11.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Adviser and the Fund have entered into the Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Adviser has agreed contractually for a one-year period to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses on a monthly basis to the extent that the Fund’s total annualized fund operating expenses (excluding (i) expenses directly related to the costs of making investments, including interest and structuring costs for borrowing and line(s) of credit, taxes, brokerage costs, the Fund’s proportionate share of expenses related to co-investments, litigation and other unusual and infrequent expenses, (ii) Incentive Fees and (iii) any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees) in respect of the relevant month exceed 2.00% of the Fund’s month-end net asset value (the “Expense Limitation”). In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any waived management fees and Fund expenses reimbursed subject to the limitation that reimbursement will be made only if and to the extent that: (i) it is payable not more than three years from the date on which the applicable waiver or expense payment was made by the Adviser, and (ii) the Adviser reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (on an annualized basis and net of any Adviser reimbursements received by the Fund during such fiscal year) during the applicable quarter to exceed the Expense Limitation or another expense limitation

in place at that time. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated amount subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser under the agreement was $3,552,306, of which $1,777,212 relates to waivers and reimbursements incurred during the current period.

During the period, the Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows: $23,872 for Class A, $1,638,902 for Class I, $18,637 for Class L, $13,552 for Class N, and $82,249 for Class Y.

The following amounts are eligible for recovery at December 31, 2019: $915,818 for Class A, $2,513,557 for Class I, $22,556 for Class L, $13,552 for Class N and $86,822 for Class Y.

Year of expiration
December 31, 2021	$1,775,094
December 31, 2022	1,777,212

The Adviser has not recaptured any previously waived and/or reimbursed amounts during the reporting period.

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Borrowings. The Fund can borrow money from financial institutions in amounts up to one third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings (meaning that the value of those assets must be at least 300% of the amount borrowed). The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing portfolio securities. The Fund also may borrow to meet repurchase obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. When the Fund invests borrowed money in portfolio securities, it is using a speculative investment technique known as leverage and changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its NAV than if it did not borrow because of the effect of leverage.

The Fund will pay interest and may pay other fees in connection with borrowings. If the Fund does borrow, it will be subject to greater expenses than funds that do not borrow. The interest on borrowed money and the other fees incurred in conjunction with loans are an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield and return. Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to interest on borrowings and related fees are disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund via the Subsidiary has entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Societe Generale and HSBC Bank USA, National Association which enables it to participate in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to $150 million, subject to change as the parties may agree from time to time. To secure the loan, the Subsidiary pledges investment securities and/or cash in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Fund is the guarantor of the loan. Interest is charged to the Subsidiary, based on its outstanding borrowings, at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a defined spread. Additionally, an ongoing commitment fee is paid based on a defined rate on the unused commitment amount. Total fees and interest related to its participation in the borrowing

facility during the reporting period equal 1.64% of the Fund's average net assets on an annualized basis. The Fund has the right to prepay such loans at any time. The scheduled maturity date of the borrowing facility is June 28, 2021.

At period end, the Fund had borrowings outstanding at an interest rate of 2.813%.

Details of the borrowings for the reporting period are as follows:

Average Outstanding Loan Balance Under the Facility	$43,146,752
Average Interest Rate of Outstanding Loan Balance (including the effect of commitment fees)	4.3650%
Interest and Fees Paid	$1,727,510

Loan Commitments. Pursuant to the terms of certain credit agreements, the Fund has unfunded loan commitments of $3,552,301 at period end. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian cash and/or liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the par value of unfunded loan commitments. At period end, these commitments have a fair value of $3,608,727 and have been included as First Lien Debt in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

10. Acquisition Unaudited

On May 24, 2019 (“Transaction Date”), Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), an indirect corporate parent of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), sold OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including OFI Global Institutional, Inc.) to Invesco, a leading independent global investment management company (the "Transaction"). In turn, MassMutual and OFI's employee shareholders received a combination of common and preferred equity consideration and MassMutual became a significant shareholder in Invesco.

Also, effective on or about the Transaction Date, the independent registered public accounting firm that was previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Fund's financial statements, Ernst & Young LLP, resigned as auditor for the Fund. Ernst & Young LLP's decision to resign as auditor for the Fund was based upon independence concerns in light of the Transaction due to its pre-existing relationship with Invesco and not based upon any issues related to the Fund's audit. Effective June 27, 2019, the Board approved the appointment of KPMG LLP as auditor of the Fund's consolidated financial statements.

In light of the acquisition, Invesco and Carlyle determined to liquidate and dissolve OC Private Capital, LLC, the Fund’s prior investment adviser, and further determined that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders if CGCIM, the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, became the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a new Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and CGCIM.

42        CARLYLE TACTICAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

10. Acquisition Unaudited (Continued)

At an in-person meeting of the Board held on September 23, 2019, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the new Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and CGCIM. The Board also recommended to the Fund’s shareholders that they approve the new Investment Advisory Agreement. After considering the Board’s recommendation, the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities as of September 24, 2019 approved the new Investment Advisory Agreement by written consent, effective October 24, 2019.

The Board had considered in detail a number of factors regarding the previous investment advisory agreement and the new Investment Advisory Agreement, as applicable, including: (i) the effect of the Transaction and any impact on the Fund and its shareholders, including that the Transaction was not expected to have any impact on or diminution in the services currently provided to the Fund given the fact that (x) the same portfolio management team at Carlyle would continue to provide advisory services to the Fund, (y) Invesco, Carlyle and the Fund will enter into a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which Invesco will provide, during the term thereof, the same types of administrative and compliance services to the Fund and Carlyle as it did prior to the Transaction and (z) Carlyle represented to the Board that, following the termination of the Transition Services Agreement, it will provide the same level of administrative and compliance services to the Fund as Invesco has provided; (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by, or to be provided by, Carlyle; (iii) the investment management capabilities and experience of Carlyle, including that the same portfolio management team would continue to manage the Fund; (iv) the Fund’s performance and the costs of the services provided and profits to be realized by Carlyle from its relationship with the Fund; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether management fee levels would reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; (vi) other benefits to be derived by Carlyle from its relationship with the Fund; and (vii) any other information deemed relevant by the Board.

The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Independent Trustees reviewed with counsel to the Independent Trustees the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the new Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on this review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the new Investment Advisory Agreement and the fees payable thereunder were fair and not unreasonable in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

CGCIM, Invesco and the Fund have entered into a Transition Services Agreement, effective October 24, 2019, that will continue for a period of six months from the effective date of the Transition Services Agreement and may be extended for an additional three months subject to certain conditions. During the term of the Transition Services Agreement, Invesco has agreed to provide CGCIM and the Fund with certain services and/or personnel to assist CGCIM and help ensure a smooth transition subsequent to the liquidation and dissolution of

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund, formerly OFI Carlyle Private Credit Fund, and subsidiary (the Fund), including the consolidated statement of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related consolidated notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements) and the consolidated financial highlights for the year then ended. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its consolidated operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated statement of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the period from June 4, 2018 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2018, were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated March 1, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on that financial statement and those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2019.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION  Unaudited

In early 2020, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2019.

Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $9,387,418 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited

The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines whereby it has delegated the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Fund (“portfolio proxies”) to the Fund's Adviser as part of the Adviser's general management of the Fund's portfolio, subject to the continuing oversight of the Board. The Adviser votes portfolio proxies in accordance with its proxy voting policies and procedures, which are reviewed periodically by the Adviser and the Independent Trustees and, accordingly, are subject to change.

The right to vote a portfolio proxy is an asset of the Fund. The Adviser acts as a fiduciary of the Fund and must vote portfolio proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. As part of this duty, the Adviser recognizes that it must vote portfolio proxies in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in what it perceives to be the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

The Adviser’s proxy voting decisions will be made by its investment committee. The Adviser will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by the Fund. Although the Adviser will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on Fund portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons to do so.

To ensure that the vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, the Adviser requires that: (1) anyone involved in the decision making process disclose to the Adviser’s investment committee, any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how the Adviser intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

The Fund and Adviser’s policies and procedures collectively describe how the Fund votes portfolio proxies. A summary description of the Fund and Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at (833) 677-3646, and (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund’s voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at (833) 677-3646, and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter and the third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Those forms may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

(a)(2)(iv)

The Fund’s executive officers and Trustees, and the employees of the Adviser, serve or may serve as officers, trustees or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Fund or of other Carlyle-advised funds (“Other Managed Funds”). As a result, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of the Fund or its Shareholders. Moreover, notwithstanding the difference in principal investment objectives between the Fund and the Other Managed Funds, such other funds, including potential new pooled investment vehicles or managed accounts not yet established (whether managed or sponsored by affiliates or the Adviser), have, and may from time to time have, overlapping investment objectives with the Fund and, accordingly, invest in, whether principally or secondarily, asset classes similar to those targeted by the Fund. To the extent the Other Managed Funds have overlapping investment objectives, the scope of opportunities otherwise available to the Fund may be adversely affected and/or reduced. Additionally, certain employees of the Adviser and their management may face conflicts in their

time management and commitments as well as in the allocation of investment opportunities to Other Managed Funds.

The results of the Fund’s investment activities may differ significantly from the results achieved by the Other Managed Funds. It is possible that one or more of such funds will achieve investment results that are substantially more or less favorable than the results achieved by the Fund. Moreover, it is possible that the Fund will sustain losses during periods in which one or more affiliates achieve significant profits on their trading for proprietary or other accounts. The opposite result is also possible. The investment activities of one or more Adviser affiliates for their proprietary accounts and accounts under their management may also limit the investment opportunities for the Fund in certain markets.

The Adviser, its affiliates and their clients may pursue or enforce rights with respect to an issuer in which the Fund has invested, and those activities may have an adverse effect on the Fund. As a result, prices, availability, liquidity and terms of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted by the activities of the Adviser and its affiliates or their clients, and transactions for the Fund may be impaired or effected at prices or terms that may be less favorable than would otherwise have been the case.

The Adviser may enter into transactions and invest in securities, instruments and currencies on behalf of the Fund in which customers of its affiliates, to the extent permitted by applicable law, serve as the counterparty, principal or issuer. In such cases, such party’s interests in the transaction could be adverse to the interests of the Fund, and such party may have no incentive to assure that the Fund obtains the best possible prices or terms in connection with the transaction. In addition, the purchase, holding and sale of such investments by the Fund may enhance the profitability of the Adviser or its affiliates. One or more affiliates may also create, write or issue derivatives for their customers, the underlying securities, currencies or instruments of which may be those in which the Fund invests or which may be based on the performance of the Fund. The Fund may, subject to applicable law, purchase investments that are the subject of an underwriting or other distribution by one or more Adviser affiliates and may also enter into transactions with other clients of an affiliate where such other clients have interests adverse to those of the Fund.

The Fund will be required to establish business relationships with its counterparties based on the Fund’s own credit standing. Neither the Adviser nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to allow its credit to be used in connection with the Fund’s establishment of its business relationships, nor is it expected that the Fund’s counterparties will rely on the credit of the Adviser or its affiliates in evaluating the Fund’s creditworthiness.

The Adviser is paid a fee based on a percentage of the Fund’s Net Assets. Certain of the Other Managed Funds pay the Adviser or its affiliates different performance-based compensation, which could create an incentive for the Adviser or affiliate to favor such investment fund or account over the Fund.

By reason of the various activities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the Adviser and such affiliates may acquire confidential or materialnon-public information or otherwise be restricted from purchasing certain potential Fund investments that otherwise might have been purchased or be restricted from selling certain Fund investments that might otherwise have been sold at the time.

The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest from influencing proxy voting decisions made on behalf of advisory clients, including the Fund, and to help ensure that such decisions are made in accordance with its fiduciary obligations to clients. Nevertheless, notwithstanding such proxy voting policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients, provided that the Adviser believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations.

(a)(3)

Portfolio managers are compensated with an annual salary and a discretionaryyear-end annual bonus, the amount of which is based on a multitude of quantitative and qualitative factors and are benchmarked against peers and local markets. Depending on seniority within the firm, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive performance fees from private funds that they manage that vest over time. Performance fees can make up a significant portion of a portfolio manager’s overall compensation, and primarily are based on the investment performance of the private funds managed by the portfolio manager. This compensation structure aligns a portfolio manager’s and investors’ long-term interests and helps the Adviser retain talented investment personnel. Portfolio managers also may receive discretionary compensation through awards under the Adviser’s equity incentive plan.
