(1)Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company are domiciled in the United States. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company.

Under the Investment Company Act, the Company would be deemed an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company is not an “affiliated person” of any of these portfolio companies. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales.

(2)Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the U.S. Prime Rate), which generally resets quarterly. For each such loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the reference rates for variable rate loans were the 30-day SOFR at 4.32%, the 90-day SOFR at 4.30%, the 180-day SOFR at 4.22%, the daily SONIA at 4.46%, the 30-day EURIBOR at 2.36%, the 90-day EURIBOR at 2.33%, the 180-day EURIBOR at 2.35%, and the 30-day CORRA at 4.97%.

(3)Loan includes interest rate floor feature, which ranges from 0.50% to 3.00%.

(4)Amortized cost represents original cost, including origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts/premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.

(5)Fair value is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act (see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy. The fair value of all first lien and second lien debt investments, equity investments and structured credit investments was determined using significant unobservable inputs.

(6)Security acquired in transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $82,364, or 5.52% of the Company’s net assets.

(7)The Company has determined the indicated investments are non-qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company.

For each such loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the reference rates for variable rate loans were the 30-day SOFR at 4.30%, the 90-day SOFR at 4.29%, the 180-day SOFR at 4.25%, the daily SONIA at 4.70%, the 90-day EURIBOR at 2.79% , the 180-day EURIBOR at 2.63%, and the 30-day CORRA at 4.97%.

The fair value of all first lien and second lien debt investments, structured credit investments, and equity investments was determined using significant unobservable inputs.

As of March 31, 2025

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

1. ORGANIZATION

Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CARS” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on February 10, 2017 and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”).

The Company’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns and current income primarily through assembling a portfolio of senior secured term loans to U.S. middle market companies in which private equity sponsors hold, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in the form of debt and/or equity. The Company's core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. The Company seeks to achieve its objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of its assets invested in higher yielding investments (which may include unsecured debt, subordinated debt and investments in equities and structured products). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.

The Company invests primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt has been rated below investment grade, or would likely be rated below investment grade if it was rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

On September 11, 2017 (“Commencement”), the Company completed its initial closing of capital commitments (the “Initial Closing”) and subsequently commenced substantial investment operations. On January 21, 2022, stockholders approved the Company's conversion from a finite life private BDC with no interim liquidity to a private BDC with a perpetual life and a regular quarterly liquidity program. The conversion extends indefinitely the Company's term and finite investment period and permits the Company to accept new subscriptions for shares of its common stock in a new continuous private offering (the “New Continuous Offering”). Commencing December 1, 2024, the Company has been conducting closings of the New Continuous Offering on a monthly basis. Subscriptions to purchase shares of the Company may be made on an ongoing basis with investors purchasing shares pursuant to an accepted subscription request effective as of the first day of each month based on the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Company’s shares (“Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as determined as of the previous day, being the last day of the preceding month. To be accepted, a subscription request including the full subscription amount must be received, together with a completed subscription agreement at least five business days prior to the first day of the month (unless waived by the Investment Adviser). The Company and the Investment Adviser have

received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Company to issue in the New Continuous Offering multiple classes

of shares of its common stock with varying sales loads, contingent deferred sales charges, and/or asset-based service and/or

distribution fees, the details for which will be finalized at a later date at the Company’s discretion.

Effective March 3, 2017, the Company changed its name from Carlyle Private Credit, Inc. to TCG BDC II, Inc., and effective March 29, 2022 the Company’s name was changed to Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc. In connection therewith, the Company has adopted a policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in credit investments (such as loans, notes, bonds, and other credit instruments). This policy may be changed with 60 days’ prior notice to our shareholders. None of the Company’s policies are fundamental, and thus may be changed without shareholder approval.

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

38

The Company is externally managed by its investment adviser, Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Carlyle Global Credit Administration L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Both the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are wholly owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“CIM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. “Carlyle” refers to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than portfolio companies of its affiliated funds), a global investment firm publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CG”. Refer to the sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle.

Carlyle Credit Solutions SPV LLC (the “SPV”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on January 28, 2019. The SPV, which invests in first and second lien senior secured loans, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

Carlyle Credit Solutions SPV 2 LLC (“SPV2,” and collectively with the SPV, the “SPVs”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on March 10, 2020. SPV2, which invests in first and second lien senior secured loans, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

On October 29, 2024, the Company completed a $348,500 term debt securitization (the “2024-1 Debt Securitization”). The notes and loans offered in the 2024-1 Debt Securitization (the “2024-1 Debt”) were issued by Carlyle Direct Lending CLO 2024-1 LLC (the “2024-1 Issuer”). The $59,500 in the Class C and D notes were retained by the Company and are eliminated in the consolidation. The 2024-1 Issuer is a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company and was formed on June 4, 2024. The 2024-1 Debt is secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2024-1 Issuer consisting primarily of first and second lien senior secured loans. Refer to Note 6, Borrowings, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for details. The 2024-1 Issuer is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

CARS Lux S.à.r.l (the “CARS Lux” and together with the SPVs and the 2024-1 Issuer, the “Subsidiaries”) is a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg that became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on July 23, 2024. CARS Lux invests in first and second lien senior secured loans and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements starting from July 23, 2024.

As a BDC, the Company is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. As part of these requirements, the Company must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the Investment Company Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, the Company generally does not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that it distributes to stockholders, provided that the Company satisfies those requirements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the SPVs, CARS Lux, and 2024-1 Issuer. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented have been included. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for

39

the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior period disclosures within the Consolidated Schedule of Investments have been amended to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and their resulting impact on management and incentive fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment at the time of exit using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about fair value measurements.

Derivative Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), when accounting for derivative instruments. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in its unaudited consolidated financial statements. Derivative instruments are measured in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. Derivative instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks. The Company manages these risks on an aggregate basis as part of its risk management process.

The Company uses forward currency contracts to economically hedge the currency exposure associated with certain foreign-denominated investments. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Company owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Until the contracts are closed, fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the exchange rates on the contract date and reporting date and are recorded as net change in unrealized gain (loss) on forward currency contracts within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded as realized gain (loss) on forward currency contracts within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The forward currency contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. The change in fair value of the forward currency contracts is reflected as net unrealized (gain) loss on forward currency contracts within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 5, Derivative Instruments, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Any amounts held by the Company in a separate account to cover collateral obligations to the counterparty under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement (as defined in Note 5, Derivative Instruments, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements) are included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any amounts paid to and held by the counterparty to cover collateral obligations under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any amounts paid from the counterparty due to market value fluctuations to cover collateral under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities on accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

40

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. treasury notes) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held with four large financial institutions and cash held at each financial institution may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held restricted cash balances of $108,493 and $58,745, respectively, which represent amounts that are collected and held by trustees appointed by the Company for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings and reinvestment into new assets. The amounts are held by the trustees as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $3,440 and $2,993, respectively, in restricted cash denominated in a foreign currency. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cost of foreign currencies was $5,004 and $4,408, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of foreign currencies was $5,003 and $4,407, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Interest from Investments

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK income represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio with PIK provisions was $267,204 and $340,092, respectively, which represents approximately 13.4% and 17.4% respectively, of total investments at fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $5,451 and $3,930 in PIK income, respectively.

Other Income

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company. Such fees are amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee. The unamortized amount, if any, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $951 and $1,970 respectively, in other income, primarily from amendment fees, prepayment fees and undrawn commitment fees.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are current or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be collected in full and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine not to place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of investments on non-accrual status was $35,000 and $10,487, respectively. The remaining income producing investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the periods then ended.

Credit Facilities and Debt Securitization — Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs

The SPVs have each entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “SPV Credit Facility” and the “SPV2 Credit Facility,” respectively, and together, the “Credit Facilities”). Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Credit Facilities are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

41

On October 29, 2024, the Company completed the 2024-1 Debt Securitization. The $348,500 2024-1 Debt offered in the 2024-1 Debt Securitization was issued by the 2024-1 Issuer, including $59,500 in Class C and D notes retained by the Company.

The Credit Facilities and 2024-1 Debt are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing or amendments of the Credit Facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the Credit Facilities is computed on the straight-line basis over the respective term of each credit facility. The unamortized balance of such costs is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt issuance costs include capitalized expenses including structuring and arrangement fees related to the offering of the 2024-1 Debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the 2024-1 Debt is computed on the effective yield method over the term of the 2024-1 Debt. The unamortized balance of such costs is presented as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of the 2024-1 Debt in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code, and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.

The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $498 and $381, respectively, in excise tax expense.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its unaudited consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Subsidiaries are disregarded entities for tax purposes and are consolidated with the tax return of the Company. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Stockholders

On November 4, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a change in dividend policy from quarterly distributions to monthly distributions, effective December 2024. To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its common stockholders with the first monthly distribution paid in December 2024. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which all cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of common stockholders in Shares purchased in the New Continuous Offering who do not elect to receive their dividends on such shares in cash. As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution in Shares purchased in the New Continuous Offering then stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan with respect to such Shares will have their cash distributions on such Shares purchased in the New Continuous Offering automatically reinvested in additional shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend

42

or other distribution. A participating stockholder will receive an amount of shares equal to the amount of the distribution (net of applicable withholding taxes) on that participant’s shares divided by the NAV per Share as of the purchase date for such distribution.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Investments are generally made in the local currency of the country in which the investments are domiciled and are translated into U.S. Dollars with foreign currency translation gains or losses recorded within net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency translation gains and losses on non-investment assets and liabilities are separately reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of Shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.

Segment Reporting

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment. As a result, the Company’s segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any intra-segment sales and transfers of assets.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expense for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, which amends ASC 470-20 to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date. Effective September 8, 2022, the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available. The Investment Adviser values securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Investment Adviser may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments, such as its securities/instruments traded in active markets and its liquid securities/instruments that are not traded in active markets, from pricing services, brokers, or counterparties (i.e., “consensus pricing”). When doing so, the Investment Adviser determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. The Investment Adviser may use the quote obtained or alternative pricing sources may be utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities/instruments.

Securities/instruments that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value shall each be valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment and include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and/or discounted cash flow analyses. The process generally used to determine the applicable value is as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment is initially reviewed by the investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and, for non-traded investments, a standardized template designed to

43

approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs is used to determine a preliminary value, which is also reviewed alongside consensus pricing, where available; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of personnel of the Investment Adviser; (iii) the Board of Directors engages a third-party valuation firm to provide positive assurance on portions of the Middle Market Senior Loans and equity investments portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling twelve month basis) including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and conclusion on fair value; (iv) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) reviewed the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the third-party valuation firm; and (v) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Board of Directors discussed the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determined the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.

All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment are considered, including, but not limited to the assessment of the following factors, as relevant:

•the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

•call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;

•the portfolio company’s leverage and ability to make payments;

•the portfolio company’s public or private credit rating;

•the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;

•prevailing interest rates and spreads for similar securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;

•the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and

•comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities.

Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificates received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information.

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 Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in determination of fair values, as follows:

•Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Financial instruments in this category generally include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Investment Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

•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. Financial instruments in this category generally include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets,

44

government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

•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 in this category generally include investments in privately-held entities, structured credit investments 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 Investment 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.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between levels.

The following tables summarize the Company’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level 3:

Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated to determine whether the enterprise value of the portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Investment Adviser carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.

Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.

Investments in debt securities with sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the

46

security’s expected maturity date. The discount rate to be used is determined using an average of two market-based methodologies. Investments in debt securities may also be valued using consensus pricing.

Investments in equities are generally valued using a market approach and/or an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in first and second lien debt securities are discount rates, indicative quotes and comparable EBITDA multiples. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in equities are discount rates and comparable EBITDA multiples. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in indicative quotes or comparable EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

47

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s structured credit investments are indicative quotes. Significant decreases in indicative quotes in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the 2024-1 Debt approximates their fair value. The 2024-1 Debt is categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy and is valued generally using market quotation(s) received from broker/dealer(s), which are significant unobservable inputs.

The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement

On June 26, 2017, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Original Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The initial term of the Original Investment Advisory Agreement was two years from June 26, 2017 and renewed automatically for successive annual periods with the specific approval of the Board of Directors, including the vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors”). On October 11, 2021, the Board, including all of its Independent Directors, reviewed and approved the terms of an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”) for an initial term of two years, conditional upon stockholders’ approval of the proposal to convert the Company to a perpetual life BDC as discussed above. On January 21, 2022, stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, which the Company entered into effective as of the date of such approval.

Pursuant to the Original Investment Advisory Agreement and the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement effective as of January 21, 2022, and subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, the Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives fees from the Company consisting of two components—a management fee and an incentive fee.

From the period September 12, 2021 until January 21, 2022, the management fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s average Capital Under Management (as defined below) at the end of the then-current quarter and the prior calendar quarter. “Capital Under Management” means cumulative capital called, less cumulative distributions categorized as Returned Capital. “Returned Capital” means unused capital commitments increased by the aggregate amount of (i) any portion of distributions made by the Company to an investor during the Original Investment Period (as defined below) which represents (A) proceeds realized from the sale or repayment of any investment (as opposed to investment income) during the Investment Period (but not in excess of the cost of any such investment) or (B) a return of such investor’s capital contributions to the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, and (ii) any amount drawn down by

48

the Company from unused capital commitments to pay management fees, incentive fees, organizational expenses or Company expenses, to the extent such investor receives subsequent distributions. For the avoidance of doubt, Capital Under Management does not include capital acquired through the use of leverage, and Returned Capital does not include distributions of the Company’s investment income (i.e., proceeds received in respect of interest payments, dividends or fees, net of expenses) or net realized capital gains to the investors.

Under the Original Investment Advisory Agreement until January 21, 2022, the incentive fee consisted of two parts. The first part was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equaled 15.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a preferred return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized), or “hurdle rate,” and a “catch-up” feature. The second part was determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 15.0% of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees, provided that no incentive fee on capital gains is payable to the Investment Adviser unless cumulative total return exceeded a 7.0% annual return on weighted average cumulative capital called less cumulative distributions categorized as Returned Capital.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective January 21, 2022, (i) the income-based incentive fee rate was reduced from 15.0% to 12.5%, and the “hurdle rate” was reduced from 1.75% (7.0% annualized) to 1.25% (5.0% annualized); (ii) the capital gains incentive fee was reduced from 15.0% to 12.5%; and (iii) the calculation of the annual base management fee was changed to 1.00% of the Company's net asset value as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (as adjusted for capital called, dividends reinvested, distributions paid and issuer share repurchases made during the current calendar quarter) from 1.00% of the Company's average Capital Under Management. The terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement were effective upon execution of the agreement, except for the change to the income-based incentive fee which became effective for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2022. The Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement will continue in effect until January 21, 2024 and, unless terminated earlier, will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the Board of Directors and by the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors. On April 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved at an in-person meeting the continuance of the Company’s Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser for an additional one year term. The Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

Below is a summary of the base management fees and incentive fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Base management fees	$	3,688	$	2,646
Incentive fees	4,966		4,921
Total base management fees and incentive fees	$	8,654	$	7,567

Accrued capital gains incentive fees are based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from inception. Accordingly, the accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no accrued or realized capital gains incentive fees.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $8,654 and $8,738, respectively, was included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

On June 26, 2017, the Investment Adviser entered into a personnel agreement with The Carlyle Group Employee Co., L.L.C. (“Carlyle Employee Co.”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Investment Adviser with access to investment professionals.

Administration Agreement

On April 18, 2017, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator. Unless terminated earlier, the Administration Agreement will renew automatically for successive annual periods,

49

provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. The Administration Agreement may not be assigned by a party without the consent of the other party and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party. On April 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuance of the Administration Agreement for an additional one year term.

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides services and receives reimbursements equal to an amount that reimburses the Administrator for its costs and expenses and the Company’s allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by the Company’s officers (including the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer) and respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to the Company, and any internal audit staff, to the extent internal audit performs a role in the Company’s internal control assessment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). Reimbursement under the Administration Agreement occurs quarterly in arrears.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $259 and $465, respectively, in fees under the Administration Agreement. These fees are included in administrative service fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1,055 and $1,504, respectively, was unpaid and included in administrative service fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Sub-Administration Agreements

On June 26, 2017, the Administrator entered into sub-administration agreements with Carlyle Employee Co. (the “Carlyle Sub-Administration Agreements”). Pursuant to the Carlyle Sub-Administration Agreements, Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Administrator with access to personnel.

On June 22, 2017, the Administrator entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” and, such agreement, the “State Street Sub-Administration Agreement” and, together with the Carlyle Sub-Administration Agreements, the “Sub-Administration Agreements”).

Unless terminated earlier, the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement renews automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. On April 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuance of the Sub-Administration Agreements for an additional one year term.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $159 and $203, respectively, in fees under the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement. These fees are included in other general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $577 and $229, respectively, was unpaid and included in other accrued expenses and liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Placement Fees

On June 26, 2017, the Company entered into a placement fee arrangement with TCG Securities, L.L.C. (“TCG”), a licensed broker-dealer and an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, which may require stockholders to pay a placement fee to TCG for TCG’s services.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 TCG had no placement fees accrued from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the issuance or sale of the Company’s common stock.

Board of Directors

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivatives from time to time to help mitigate its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Below is a summary of the outstanding forward currency contracts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025

Barclays Bank PLC	$	27,658	£	21,345	944
					$	3,772

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, with respect to forward currency contracts, the Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with the derivative counterparty, Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”). Each ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and Barclays that governs over the counter derivatives, including forward currency contracts, and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of each ISDA Master Agreement with Barclays permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of Barclays.

For financial reporting purposes, any amounts held by the Company in a separate account to cover collateral obligations to the counterparty under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement are included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any amounts paid to and held by the counterparty to cover collateral obligations under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any amounts paid from the counterparty due to market value fluctuations to cover collateral under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

The following table is intended to provide additional information about the effect of the forward currency contracts on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the Company’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements, as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company contributed the loans that comprised the initial closing date loan portfolio (including the loans distributed to the Company from the SPVs) to the 2024-1 Issuer pursuant to a contribution agreement. Future loan transfers from the Company to the 2024-1 Issuer will be made pursuant to a sale agreement and are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Assets of the 2024-1 Issuer are not available to the creditors of the SPVs or the Company.

During the reinvestment period, pursuant to the indenture governing the 2024-1 Debt, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2024-1 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of Investment Adviser in its capacity as collateral manager under a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) of the 2024-1 Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy.

Pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, the 2024-1 Issuer pays management fees (comprised of base management fees, subordinated management fees and incentive management fees) to the Investment Adviser for rendering collateral management services. As per the Collateral Management Agreement, for the period the Company retains all of the 2024-1 Issuer Preferred Interests, the Investment Adviser does not earn management fees for providing such collateral management services. The Company currently retains all of the 2024-1 Issuer Preferred Interests, thus the Investment Adviser did not earn any management fees from the 2024-1 Issuer for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Any such waived fees may not be recaptured by the Investment Adviser.

As of March 31, 2025, the 2024-1 Debt was secured by 115 investments with a total fair value of $403,131 and cash of $53,390.

Quarterly Tender Offers

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company commenced a quarterly liquidity program pursuant to which the Company expects to conduct quarterly tender offers (the “Quarterly Tender Offer”) to repurchase up to 3.5% of the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, at a per share price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last date of the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, less an early repurchase fee of 2% of the net asset value of such shares in the case of shares that have an initial issue date within the one year period prior to the valuation date associated with such Quarterly Tender Offer. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether or not the Company will purchase common stock from stockholders, and the Company is not required to conduct tender offers on a quarterly basis or at all. If during any consecutive 24-month period, the Company does not engage in a quarterly tender offer in which the Company accepts for purchase 100% of properly tendered shares (a “Qualifying Tender”), the Company generally will not make commitments for new portfolio investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and will reserve available assets to satisfy future tender requests until a Qualifying Tender occurs, subject to the Company continuing to use available funds and liquidity for certain purposes. As of March 31, 2025, the most recent Qualifying Tender was the Quarterly Tender Offer that commenced on March 21, 2025, with a cash payment date of April 28, 2025.

(1)Net investment income (loss) per share was calculated as net investment income (loss) for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.

(2)Dividends declared per share was calculated as the sum of dividends declared during the period divided by the number of shares outstanding at the date of the relevant transaction (refer to Note 8, Net Assets, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements).

(3)Includes the impact of different share amounts as a result of calculating certain per share data based on the weighted-average basic shares outstanding and certain per share data based on the shares outstanding as of a period end or transaction date.

(4)Total return based on net asset value (not annualized) is based on the change in net asset value per share during the period plus the declared dividends, assuming reinvestment of dividends in accordance with the dividend reinvestment plan, divided by the beginning net asset value for the period.

(5)These ratios to average net assets attributable to Common Stockholders have not been annualized.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through assembling a portfolio of secured debt investments in U.S. middle market companies. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chief financial officer. The CODM assesses the performance of the Company and makes operating decisions on a consolidated basis, primarily based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”). The CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders, implementing investment policy decisions, strategic initiatives, and managing and assessing the Company’s portfolio. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and determines how to allocate resources based on net income. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. LITIGATION

The Company may become party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of current matters, if any, will materially impact the Company or its unaudited consolidated financial

60

statements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Company.

In addition, portfolio investments of the Company could be the subject of litigation or regulatory investigations in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any current contingent liabilities of its portfolio investments, if any, will materially affect the Company or these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

12. TAX

The Company has not recorded a liability for any uncertain tax positions pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax regulators. The Company’s federal tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.

The Company’s taxable income for each period is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for each year. Therefore, the final taxable income, and the taxable income earned in each period and carried forward for distribution in the following period, may be different than this estimate. The estimated tax character of the dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

	For the three months periods ended
	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024
Ordinary income	$	37,844	$	27,828
Long-term capital gains	$	—	$	—
Tax return of capital	$	—	$	—

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued. There have been no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued, except as disclosed elsewhere in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc., a Maryland corporation is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act and have operated our business as a BDC since we began our investment activities. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a registered investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”). We were incorporated in February 2017. We conducted the Initial Private Offering and have been conducting the New Continuous Offering of our Shares to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have an indefinite term. Our principal executive offices are located at One Vanderbilt Avenue, Suite 3400, New York, New York 10017.

Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns and current income primarily through assembling a portfolio of senior secured term loans to U.S. middle market companies in which private equity sponsors hold, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in the form of debt and/or equity. Our core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. We seek to achieve our investment objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of our assets invested in investments that are typically higher yielding than Middle Market Senior Loans (which may include unsecured debt, mezzanine debt and investments in equities and structured products). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.

63

We invest primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt is rated below investment grade, or would likely be rated below investment grade if it was rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

We are externally managed by our Investment Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”) and a subsidiary of Carlyle. We benefit from our Investment Adviser’s investment team of over 190 investment professionals with the deep knowledge and expertise across multiple asset classes who are supported by a team of finance, operations and administrative professionals currently employed by Carlyle Employee Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle. In conducting our investment activities, we believe that we benefit from the significant scale, relationships and resources of Carlyle, including our Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Investment Income

We generate investment income primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from dividends on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and debt and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as SOFR. Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. At times, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate investment income in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include: (i) investment advisory fees, including base management fees and incentive fees, to our Investment Adviser pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement; (ii) debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements; (iii) costs and other expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by our Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement between us and our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”); and (iv) other operating expenses summarized below:

Portfolio Credit

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk assessment policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings”. Key drivers of internal risk ratings include financial metrics, financial covenants, liquidity and enterprise value coverage. Pursuant to these risk policies, an Internal Risk Rating of 1 – 5, which are defined below, is assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio.

68

Rating	Definition
1	Borrower is operating above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
2	Borrower is operating generally as expected or at an acceptable level of performance. The level of risk to our initial cost basis is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination. This is the initial risk rating assigned to all new borrowers.
3	Borrower is operating below expectations and level of risk to our cost basis has increased since the time of origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants. Payments are generally current although there may be higher risk of payment default.
4	Borrower is operating materially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due, but generally not by more than 120 days. It is anticipated that we may not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.
5	Borrower is operating substantially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.

Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the risk ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings in connection with our quarterly valuation process. The below table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Securitizations

On October 29, 2024, the Company completed a $348,500 term debt securitization (the “2024-1 Debt Securitization”), which was inclusive of $59,500 in Class C and D notes retained by the Company as of March 31, 2025. The notes and loans offered in the 2024-1 Debt Securitization (the “2024-1 Debt”) were issued by Carlyle Direct Lending CLO 2024-1 LLC (the “2024-1 Issuer”), a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of us. The 2024-1 Debt is secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2024-1 Issuer consisting primarily of first and second lien secured loans and is scheduled to mature in October, 2037.

We received 100% of the $83,100 in nominal value of the non-interest bearing preferred interests issued by the 2024-1 Issuer (the “2024-1 Issuer Preferred Interests”) on the closing date of the 2024-1 Debt Securitization in exchange for our contribution to the 2024-1 Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio. In connection with the contribution, we made customary representations, warranties and covenants to the 2024-1 Issuer in the purchase agreement.

Forward Currency Contracts

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with the derivative counterparty, Barclays Bank PLC (the “Counterparty”), in respect of forward currency contracts. Each ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and the Counterparty that governs over the counter derivatives, including forward currency contracts, and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of each ISDA Master Agreement with the Counterparty permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, the total unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to forward currency contracts governed by these agreements was $(2,869).

Investment Income

The increase in investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in average investment balance. As of March 31, 2025, the size of our portfolio increased to $2,046,580 from $2,008,800 as of December 31, 2024, at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average yield of our total debt and income producing investments was 10.7% and 11.1%, respectively, based on amortized cost.

Interest income and PIK income on our first and second lien debt investments are dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, five and four of our income producing investments were on non-accrual status, respectively. Non-accrual investments had a fair value of $35,000 and $10,487, which represented approximately 1.8% and 0.5% of total investments at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining income producing investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

72

Expenses

The increase in interest expense and credit facility fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was driven by higher weighted average borrowings outstanding.

The decrease in base management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was driven by lower net assets as adjusted for capital activity that occurred during the respective periods.

The increase in incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was driven by higher pre-incentive fee net investment income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no accrued capital gains incentive fees based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of March 31, 2025. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the incentive and management fees.

Professional fees include legal, rating agencies, audit, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staff. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

The amount of and number of investments with realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Realized gains on investments	$	79	$	26
Number of investments with realized gains	3		2
Realized losses on investments	$	(18,012)	$	(9,102)

Number of investments with unrealized appreciation	83		85
Change in unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(20,928)	$	(34,294)
Number of investments with unrealized depreciation	121		92

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a realized loss related to the restructuring of our investment in Aimbridge Acquisition Co., Inc. from debt to equity. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a realized loss related the restructuring of our investment in Jeg’s Automotive, LLC.

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is driven by changes in various inputs used in our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, borrower leverage ratios, borrower ratings, and the impact of exits.

Investment Income

The decrease in investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to lower benchmark rates and lower spreads, partially offset by a higher average investment balance. As of March 31, 2025, the size of our portfolio increased to $2,046,580 from $1,830,959 as of March 31, 2024, at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the weighted average yield of our total debt and income producing investments was 10.7% and 12.5%, respectively, based on amortized cost.

Interest income and PIK income on our first and second lien debt investments are dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, five of our income producing investments were on non-accrual status at fair value of $35,000, which represented 1.8% of total investments at fair value as of March 31, 2025. The remaining income producing investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of March 31, 2025. There were no investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2024.

74

Expenses

The decrease in interest expense and credit facility fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a lower weighted average debt balance.

The increase in incentive fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by higher pre-incentive fee net investment income.

The increase in base management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by higher average net assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no accrued capital gains incentive fees based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of March 31, 2025. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the incentive and management fees.

Number of investments with unrealized depreciation	121		65

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a realized loss related to the restructuring of our investment in Aimbridge Acquisition Co., Inc. from debt to equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a realized loss after the write-off of our investment in American Physician Partners, partially offset by a realized gain from the recapitalization of our investment in Dermatology Associates.

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is driven by changes in other inputs utilized under our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, borrower leverage multiples and borrower ratings, and the impact of exits. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was mainly driven by the reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation related to Aimbridge Acquisition Co.,.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance and sale of our common stock and asset-level financing. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under the Credit Facilities, as well as through

75

securitization of a portion of our existing investments. As of March 31, 2025, we had $612,612 of outstanding consolidated indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and the 2024-1 Debt, as previously discussed within Portfolio and Investment Activity - Portfolio Financing. As of March 31, 2025, we had $376,939 of liquidity that can be used to satisfy our short-term cash requirements and working capital for our business. Refer to Note 6, Borrowings, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our financing. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the statutory debt to equity ratio was 0.41x and 0.34x, respectively.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our Credit Facilities.

	As of
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	144,599	$	108,453
Available borrowings under Credit Facilities	232,340		361,447
Total Liquidity	$	376,939	$	469,900

We generate cash from the net proceeds of offerings of our common stock and through cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, as well as income earned on investments and cash equivalents. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under our Credit Facilities, the issuance of debt, and through securitization of a portion of our existing investments. The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for investments in portfolio companies, repayment of indebtedness, cash distributions to our stockholders, the repurchase of our shares through the Quarterly Tender Offer, and for other general corporate purposes. We believe our current cash position, available capacity on our Credit Facilities, which is well in excess of our unfunded commitments, and net cash provided by operating activities will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue to support our investment objectives, including reserving for the capital needs which may arise at our portfolio companies.

Liquidity Needs

Our primary liquidity needs include our funding of new and existing portfolio investments, payment of operating expenses and interest and principal payments under the Credit Facilities. We also repurchase our shares through the Quarterly Tender Offers.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur which may give rise to liabilities arising from these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2025 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 for any such exposure.

We have in the past, currently are and may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments. We had the following unfunded commitments to fund delayed draw and revolving senior secured loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

	Par / Principal Amount as of
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Unfunded delayed draw commitments	$	112,403	$	102,427
Unfunded revolving commitments	82,977		74,513
Total unfunded commitments	$	195,380	$	176,940

Pursuant to an undertaking by us in connection with the 2024-1 Debt Securitization, we agreed to hold on an ongoing basis the 2024-1 Issuer Preferred Interests with an aggregate dollar purchase price at least equal to 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all collateral obligations issued by the 2024-1 Issuer, subject to adjustments, for so long as any securities of the 2024-1 Issuer remains outstanding. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with this undertaking.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 1,425,501 shares for an aggregate offering price of approximately $27,706, repurchased and extinguished 826,938 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $16,067.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.

Valuation Risk

Our investments generally do not have a readily available market price. Our Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, values our investments for which market quotations are not readily available in good faith at fair value in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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 our investments may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2025, on a fair value basis, approximately 99.8% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate, which primarily are subject to interest rate floors. The Credit Facilities and 2024-1 Debt are also subject to floating interest rates and are primarily paid based on floating SOFR rates.

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. There can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our income in the future.

The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income, should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. These hypothetical interest income calculations are based on a model of the settled debt investments in our portfolio held as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates and the impact of that change on interest income. Interest expense is calculated based on outstanding secured borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and based on the terms of our Credit Facilities and 2024-1 Debt. Interest expense on our Credit Facilities and 2024-1 Debt is calculated using the stated

77

interest rate as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. We intend to continue to finance a portion of our investments with borrowings and the interest rates paid on our borrowings may significantly impact our net interest income.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates for our settled debt investments (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) and outstanding secured borrowings assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

	As of March 31, 2025						As of December 31, 2024

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company may become party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Company. See also Note 11, Litigation, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth within this Form 10-Q, consideration should be given to the information disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Risks Related to Our Investments

Tariffs may adversely affect us and our portfolio companies.

Existing or new tariffs imposed on foreign goods imported by the United States or on U.S. goods imported by foreign

countries could subject us or our portfolio companies to additional risks. Among other effects, tariffs may increase the cost of

production for certain of our portfolio companies or reduce demand for their products, which could adversely affect their results of operations. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any tariff or other trade protections may affect us and our portfolio companies.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Except as previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K, we did not sell any equity securities during the period covered in this report that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Share Repurchases

In the second quarter of 2022, we commenced a quarterly liquidity program pursuant to which we expect to conduct quarterly tender offers (the “Quarterly Tender Offer”) to repurchase up to 3.5% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, at a per share price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last day of the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, less an early repurchase fee of 2% of the net asset value of such shares in the case of shares that have an initial issue date within the one year period prior to the valuation date associated with such Quarterly Tender Offer. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether or not we will purchase common stock from stockholders, and we are not required to conduct tender offers on a quarterly basis or at all. If during any consecutive 24-month period, we do not engage in a quarterly tender offer in which we accept for purchase 100% of properly tendered shares (a “Qualifying Tender”), we will not make commitments for new portfolio investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and will reserve available assets to satisfy future tender requests until a Qualifying Tender occurs, subject to our continuing to use available funds and liquidity for certain purposes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, upon completion of our tender offer that commenced March 21, 2025, we repurchased 659,196 shares for a purchase price $19.23 of per share, or approximately $12.7 million in aggregate.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no director or Section 16 officer of the Company adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (in each case, as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).
