CPG Carlyle Commitments Fund, LLC Supplement

June 2021

 

The information set forth below supplements and supersedes any contrary information contained in the Confidential Memorandum dated March 30, 2018, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Memorandum") of CPG Carlyle Commitments Fund, LLC (the "Fund"). Prospective Investors are urged to read carefully the Fund's Memorandum and Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated from time to time. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as provided in the Memorandum. If the prospective Investor wishes to invest in the Fund, the Investor must complete, execute and return the Fund's Investor Application/Subscription Agreement.

 

*      *      *

 

The section of the Memorandum entitled "Types of Investments and Related Risk Factors – General Risks – Legal and Regulatory Risks" is amended to read as follows:

 

Legal and Regulatory Risks. Legal and regulatory changes that could occur during the term of the Fund may substantially affect private equity funds and such changes may adversely impact the performance of the Fund. The regulation of the U.S. and non-U.S. securities and futures markets and investment funds has undergone substantial change in recent years and such change may continue. Greater regulatory scrutiny may increase the Fund's and the Adviser's exposure to potential liabilities. Increased regulatory oversight can also impose administrative burdens and costs on the Fund and the Adviser, including, without limitation, responding to examinations or investigations and implementing new policies and procedures.

 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and related regulatory developments established financial oversight standards and resulted in significant revisions to the U.S. financial regulatory framework and the operation of financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions regarding, among other things, the comprehensive regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market, the identification, monitoring and regulation of systemic risks to financial markets and the regulation of proprietary trading and investment activity of banking institutions. The continued implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and other similar and follow-on regulations could affect, among other things, financial consumer protection, proprietary trading, registration of investment advisers and the trading and use of derivative instruments and, therefore, could adversely affect the Fund and the Investment Funds. There can be no assurance that such regulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund and the Investment Funds, increase transaction, operations, legal and/or regulatory compliance costs, significantly reduce the profitability of the Fund or impair the ability of the Fund and the Investment Funds to achieve their investment objectives.

 

As of the date hereof, there is uncertainty with respect to legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal, state and local levels, notably as respects U.S. trade, fiscal, tax, healthcare, immigration, foreign and government regulatory policy. Recent events have created a climate of heightened uncertainty and introduced difficult-to-quantify macroeconomic and geopolitical risks with potentially far-reaching implications. There has been a corresponding meaningful increase in the uncertainty surrounding interest rates, tax rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, trade volumes, trade wars and fiscal and monetary policy. To the extent the U.S. Congress or Biden administration implements additional changes to U.S. policy, those changes may impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade and relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, the U.S. regulatory environment and inflation, among other areas. Until any additional policy changes are finalized, it cannot be known whether the Fund and its investments or future investments may be positively or negatively affected, or the impact of continuing uncertainty.
