EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on

Form 8-K (this

“

Amendment

”) is being filed by AB Private Lending Fund (the “

Fund

”) to amend Item 8.01 – Other Events of that certain Current Report on

Form 8-K originally

filed by the Fund with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2024 (the “

Original Form

8-K

”). This Amendment is being filed to correct the following matters included in Item 8.01 of the Original Form

8-K:

(i) the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio is corrected to be approximately $269.6 million and (ii) the Fund’s aggregate NAV (as defined below) is corrected to be approximately $115.2 million. The Original Form

8-K

erroneously computed the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio by solely including the market value of investments of the Fund, the Fund’s money market investments and interest receivables of the Fund to calculate the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio. However, consistent with the Fund’s computation of the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio in the Fund’s Quarterly Reports on Form

10-Q

and Annual Reports on Form

10-K,

the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio is computed by including the market value of the Fund’s investments and the Fund’s market value of unfunded loans in the calculation of the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio, which is reflected in the amended disclosure below. The Original Form

8-K

relied on the erroneously computed fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio value and due to rounding, the aggregate NAV was incorrectly reported. Other than the fair value of the Fund’s investment portfolio and the aggregate NAV, no other changes to the Original

Form 8-K are

made by this Amendment,

including

but not limited to the Fund’s NAV per share as reported in the Original Form

8-K.
