Senior Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2024, the senior credit facility, which was amended on April 29, 2022, included $1.0 billion in a revolving
credit facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity is subject to the ability of the financial institutions in the banking syndicate
to fulfill their respective obligations under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on
April 29, 2027, and principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility accrue interest, at the option of the
borrowers, either (a) at an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin not to exceed 0.50% per annum, or (b) at SOFR (or
similar benchmark for non-U.S. dollar borrowings) plus a 0.10% adjustment and an applicable margin not to exceed 1.50% per
annum (at June 30, 2024, the interest rate was 6.44%). The Company made no borrowings under the revolving credit facility
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and there was no balance outstanding at June 30, 2024.
Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are parties to a revolving line of credit, primarily intended to support certain lending
activities within the Global Credit segment. In August 2023, the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility was amended to
increase the capacity of the existing revolving line of credit from $250 million to $300 million (the “2027 Tranche Revolving
Loans”) and extend the maturity date to September 2027. This amendment also provides for a new tranche of revolving loans
with a capacity of $200 million maturing in August 2024, which is expected to be extended (the “2024 Tranche Revolving
Loans,” together with the 2027 Tranche Revolving Loans, the “Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company’s
borrowing capacity is subject to the ability of the financial institutions in the banking syndicate to fulfill their respective
obligations under the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility. Principal amounts outstanding accrue interest at applicable
SOFR or Eurocurrency rates plus an applicable margin of 2.00% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00%.
In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made borrowings under the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility of
$5.0 million and €5.0 million, which were repaid as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there was no borrowing outstanding
under the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility.
CLO Borrowings
For certain of the Company’s CLOs, the Company finances a portion of its investment in the CLOs through the proceeds
received from term loans and other financing arrangements with financial institutions. The Company’s outstanding CLO
borrowings consist of the following (Dollars in millions):

(1)Maturity date is earlier of date indicated or the date that the CLO is dissolved.
(2)Incurs interest at EURIBOR plus applicable margins as defined in the agreement.

(4)Incurs interest at SOFR plus 1.44%.
(5)Incurs interest at SOFR plus 1.68%.
(6)This term loan was fully repaid in April 2024.
The CLO term loans are secured by the Company’s investments in the respective CLO, have a general unsecured interest
in the Carlyle entity that manages the CLO, and generally do not have recourse to any other Carlyle entity. Interest expense for
the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Interest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $13.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding
balance of the CLO term loans at June 30, 2024 approximated par value based on current market rates for similar debt
instruments. These CLO term loans are classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.
European CLO Financing - February 28, 2017
On February 28, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a financing agreement with several financial institutions
under which these financial institutions provided a €27.7 million term loan ($29.7 million at June 30, 2024) to the Company.
This term loan is secured by the Company’s investments in the retained notes in certain European CLOs that were formed in
2014 and 2015. This term loan will mature on the earlier of September 21, 2029 or the date that the certain European CLO
retained notes have been redeemed. The Company may prepay the term loan in whole or in part at any time. Interest on this
term loan accrues at EURIBOR plus applicable margins (6.34% at June 30, 2024).
Master Credit Agreement - Term Loans
The Company assumed liabilities under master credit agreements previously entered into by CBAM under which a
financial institution provided term loans to CBAM for the purchase of eligible interests in CLOs (see Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023). Term
loans issued under these master credit agreements are secured by the Company’s investment in the respective CLO as well as
any senior management fee and subordinated management fee payable by each CLO. Term loans generally bear interest at
SOFR plus a weighted average spread over SOFR on the CLO notes, which is due quarterly. As of June 30, 2024, term loans
under these agreements had $68.7 million outstanding. The master credit agreements mature in July 2030 and January 2031,
respectively.
CLO Repurchase Agreements
On February 5, 2019, the Company entered into a master credit facility agreement (the “Carlyle CLO Financing Facility”)
to finance a portion of the risk retention investments in certain European CLOs managed by the Company. Each transaction
entered into under the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the weighted average effective
interest rate of each class of securities that have been sold plus a spread to be agreed upon by the parties. As of June 30, 2024,
€204.3 million ($218.9 million) was outstanding under the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility. Additional borrowings may be
made on terms agreed upon by the Company and the counterparty subject to the terms and conditions of the Carlyle CLO
Financing Facility.
Each transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility provides for payment netting and, in the case of a default
or similar event with respect to the counterparty to the CLO Financing Facility, provides for netting across transactions.
Generally, upon a counterparty default, the Company can terminate all transactions under the CLO Financing Facility and offset
amounts it owes in respect of any one transaction against collateral, if any, or other amounts it has received in respect of any
other transactions under the CLO Financing Facility; provided, however, that in the case of certain defaults, the Company may
only be able to terminate and offset solely with respect to the transaction affected by the default. During the term of a
transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility, the Company will deliver cash or additional securities acceptable to
the counterparty if the securities sold are in default. Upon termination of a transaction, the Company will repurchase the
previously sold securities from the counterparty at a previously determined repurchase price. The CLO Financing Facility may
be terminated at any time upon certain defaults or circumstances agreed upon by the parties.
The repurchase agreements may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to the transaction is unable to
fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company minimizes the credit risk associated with these activities by monitoring
counterparty credit exposure and collateral values. Other than margin requirements, the Company is not subject to additional
terms or contingencies which would expose the Company to additional obligations based upon the performance of the securities
pledged as collateral.
The Company assumed liabilities under a master credit facility agreement previously entered into by CBAM (the
“CBAM CLO Financing Facility,” together with the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility, the “CLO Financing Facilities”) to
finance a portion of the risk retention investments in certain European CLOs managed by CBAM (see Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023). The maximum facility amount is €100.0 million, but may be expanded on such terms agreed upon by the Company and
the counterparty subject to the terms and conditions of the CBAM CLO Financing Facility. Each transaction entered into under
the CBAM CLO Financing Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the weighted average effective interest rate of each class
of securities that have been sold plus a spread to be agreed upon by the parties. As of June 30, 2024, €62.2 million
($66.6 million) was outstanding under the CBAM CLO Financing Facility.

(2)Issued in September 2019 at 99.841% of par.
(3)Issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal at 99.583% of par in March 2013. An additional $200.0 million in aggregate
principal was issued at 104.315% of par in March 2014, and is treated as a single class with the outstanding $400.0 million
in senior notes previously issued.
(4)Issued in September 2018 at 99.914% of par.
The issuers may redeem the senior notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a price equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on any notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual
basis at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points (30 basis points in the case of the 3.500% senior notes), plus in each case accrued
and unpaid interest on the principal amounts being redeemed.
Subordinated Notes
In May 2021, an indirect subsidiary of the Company issued $435.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625%
Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2061 (the “Subordinated Notes”), on which interest is payable quarterly accruing from May
11, 2021. In June 2021, an additional $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of these Subordinated Notes were issued and
are treated as a single series with the already outstanding $435.0 million aggregate principal amount. The Subordinated Notes
are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the issuer, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”),
jointly and severally, on a subordinated basis, by the Company, each of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships, and CG Subsidiary
Holdings L.L.C., an indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Consolidated Funds are not
guarantors, and as such, the assets of the Consolidated Funds are not available to service the Subordinated Notes under the
Guarantee. The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the issuer’s option in whole at any time or in part from time to time on
or after June 15, 2026 at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but
excluding, the date of redemption. If interest due on the Subordinated Notes is deemed no longer to be deductible in the U.S., a
“Tax Redemption Event,” the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, within 120 days of the
occurrence of such event at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but
excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, at any time
prior to May 15, 2026, within 90 days of the rating agencies determining that the Subordinated Notes should no longer receive
partial equity treatment pursuant to the rating agency’s criteria, a “rating agency event,” at a redemption price equal to 102% of
their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Subordinated Notes was $364.0 million and
$411.8 million, respectively. Fair value is based on active market quotes and the notes are classified as Level I within the fair
value hierarchy. For both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $5.9 million of interest
expense on the Subordinated Notes. For both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred
$11.8 million of interest expense on the Subordinated Notes.
Debt Covenants
The Company is subject to various financial covenants under its loan agreements including, among other items,
maintenance of a minimum amount of management fee-earning assets. The Company is also subject to various non-financial
covenants under its loan agreements and the indentures governing its senior notes. The Company was in compliance with all
financial and non-financial covenants under its various loan agreements as of June 30, 2024.
Loans Payable of Consolidated Funds
Loans payable of Consolidated Funds primarily represent amounts due to holders of debt securities issued by the CLOs.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the following borrowings were outstanding (Dollars in millions):

Loans payable of the CLOs are collateralized by the assets held by the CLOs and the assets of one CLO may not be used
to satisfy the liabilities of another. This collateral consisted of cash and cash equivalents, corporate loans, corporate bonds and
other securities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the CLO assets was $8.7 billion and $6.8 billion,
respectively.
