Interest expense under the senior credit facility was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility On December 17, 2018, certain subsidiaries of the Company established a revolving line of credit, primarily intended to support certain lending activities within the Global Credit segment. The credit facility, which was amended in December 2020 and September 2021, is scheduled to mature in September 2024, and has a capacity of $250.0 million. Principal amounts outstanding under the facility accrue interest, at the option of the borrowers, either (a) at an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin not to exceed 1.00%, or (b) at the Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin, not to exceed 2.00%. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made no borrowings under the credit facility and there was no balance outstanding as of December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $70.0 million and repaid $70.0 million under the credit facility, and there was no borrowing outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2021.

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) Outstanding borrowing of €36.1 million; incurs interest at EURIBOR plus applicable margins as defined in the agreement. (3) Incurs interest at the average effective interest rate of each class of purchased securities plus 0.50% spread percentage. (4) Incurs interest at LIBOR plus 1.65%. (5) Incurs interest at LIBOR plus 1.37%. (6) The respective CLO assets were purchased in connection with the asset acquisition from CBAM in March 2022 (see Note 4). The formation date listed is the original formation date of the related CLO. 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 years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $10.7 million, $5.6 million, and $8.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding balance of the CLO term loans at December 31, 2022 and 2021 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 €36.1 million term loan ($38.7 million at December 31, 2022) 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 November 17, 2031 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 (2.40% at December 31, 2022). Master Credit Agreement - Term Loans In January 2017, the Company entered into a master credit agreement with a financial institution under which the financial institution provided term loans to the Company for the purchase of eligible interests in CLOs. Term loans issued under this master credit agreement were 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 bear interest at LIBOR plus a weighted average spread over LIBOR on the CLO notes and an applicable margin, which is due quarterly. CLO Indentures for the respective CLO borrowings entered on November 30, 2017 and after provide for an alternative rate framework determined at the Company’s discretion upon a trigger event of LIBOR. This agreement terminated in January 2020. All outstanding CLO term loans under this agreement were fully repaid in 2021. 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 4). 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 bear interest at LIBOR plus a weighted average spread over LIBOR on the CLO notes, which is due quarterly. As of December 31, 2022, term loans under these agreements had $98.6 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. The initial maximum facility amount is €100.0 million, which has been, and may further be, expanded on such 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 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 December 31, 2022, €203.6 million ($218.0 million) was outstanding under the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility. 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 4). 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 December 31, 2022, €61.9 million ($66.3 million) was outstanding under the CBAM 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. Senior Notes Certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company have issued long term borrowings in the form of senior notes, on which interest is payable semi-annually in arrears. The following table provides information regarding these senior notes (Dollars in millions):

(1) Including accrued interest. Fair value is based on indicative quotes and the notes are classified as Level II within the fair value hierarchy. (2) Issued in January 2013 at 99.966% of par. In November 2021, the Company completed the redemption of these notes, as discussed below. (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. (5) Issued in September 2019 at 99.841% 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 3.875% and 3.500% senior notes), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amounts being redeemed. In November 2021, the Company redeemed the remaining aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million in 3.875% Senior Notes at the make-whole redemption price as set forth in the notes, and recognized $10.1 million of costs in interest expense upon early extinguishment of the debt. 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 December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Subordinated Notes was $323.8 million and $506.0 million, respectively. Fair value is based on active market quotes and the notes are classified as Level I within the fair value hierarchy. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $23.5 million of interest expense on the Subordinated Notes. For the period from May 11, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $14.8 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 December 31, 2022. 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the following borrowings were outstanding (Dollars in millions):

The fair value of these senior secured notes at December 31, 2022 approximated par value based on current market rates for similar debt instruments. These senior secured notes are classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy. (2)The subordinated notes do not have contractual interest rates, but instead receive distributions from the excess cash flows of the CLOs. 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the CLO assets was $6.2 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively.
