Material Changes and Reporting Structure
The filing includes holdings for three other included managers: Carlyle Investment Management LLC, CIM Global, L.L.C., and Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. Additionally, the report notes that AlpInvest Partners B.V. is an indirectly wholly owned investment adviser, though Carlyle Group Inc. does not participate in its investment decision-making. Shared investment discretion is exercised with Riverstone Holdings LLC regarding Enviva Partners LP, Liberty Oilfield Services Inc., and Talos Energy Inc., resulting in these positions being reported by both entities.

Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total reported value of $8.83 billion represents only the specific equity holdings disclosed in this 13F, not the firm's total assets under management or net worth.
- Note that this is a "Combination Report," meaning Carlyle Group Inc. does not report all its holdings in this single document; some are reported by other affiliated managers.
- Confirm that shared discretion positions with Riverstone Holdings LLC are not double-counted when analyzing the firm's total exposure to Enviva, Liberty Oilfield Services, and Talos Energy.
- Recognize that AlpInvest Partners B.V. holdings are excluded from Carlyle's direct investment decision-making scope.
