| ORGANIZATION | 1. ORGANIZATION Carlyle Private Equity Partners Fund, L.P. (“CPEP” or the “Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 11, 2025 (“Inception”), is a private fund exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). CPEP’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns and achieve medium-to-long-term capital appreciation through a well-diversified portfolio of private equity investments. CPEP seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing access to Carlyle’s Global Private Equity (“GPE”) platform, with an emphasis on its U.S., European, and Asian corporate buyout strategies. CPEP also provides investors access to Secondary Investments (as defined below) through Carlyle AlpInvest, as well as certain other investment strategies, such as growth, infrastructure and, in certain instances, Global Credit. We expect to access these private equity investments in a variety of ways, including through: •Direct Investments: Investments in companies and other private assets which may include, without limitation, private and public investments in equity instruments, preferred equity instruments, convertible debt or equity derivative instruments, warrants, options, “PIK” (paid-in-kind) notes, mezzanine debt, hybrid capital (including, but not limited to, structured equity, distressed credit and opportunities arising due to market dislocation), collateralized loan obligation equity, other debt investments and “PIPE” (private investments in public equity) transactions; •Secondary Investments: Certain secondary investments of AlpInvest Private Equity Investment Management, LLC (“Carlyle AlpInvest”) which target investments in private equity assets and private equity funds managed by third- party managers and portfolios of direct private equity investments through privately negotiated transactions (typically structured through new investment vehicles) in the secondaries market and from time to time may include secondary market purchases of existing investments in Other Carlyle Accounts; and •Primary Commitments: Capital commitments to investment funds managed by Carlyle or third-party managers. The Fund may also invest in debt and other types of liquid securities (“Liquid Investments”). CPEP generally seeks to invest 80% to 90% of its net asset value (“NAV”) in Direct Investments, Secondary Investments, and Primary Commitments and up to 10% to 20% of its NAV in Liquid Investments. “Carlyle” refers to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than portfolio companies of its affiliated funds), a global investment firm which is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CG”. CPEP is conducting a continuous private offering of its units in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) to investors that are both (i) accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act) and (ii) qualified purchasers (as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder). Structured as a perpetual life investment solution, CPEP accepts fully funded subscriptions monthly and aims to provide limited partners a liquidity option by means of a quarterly redemption program. In addition, CPEP Feeder, L.P. (the “Feeder”) was formed to facilitate investments by certain investors with specific tax considerations. The Feeder invests substantially all of its assets in the Fund and, as a result, its financial position and results of operations are dependent on those of the Fund. CPEP commenced operations on October 1, 2025 (the “Commencement Date” or “Initial Closing Date”), when the Fund sold Units in its continuous private offering and commenced investing. CPEP’s first fiscal period ended December 31, 2025. CPEP GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the general partner of the Fund. On September 2, 2025, CPEP General Partner, L.P. (the “Original General Partner”), a Delaware limited partnership which served as the original general partner of the Fund, assigned, transferred and conveyed all of its general partner interests in the Fund to the General Partner. Overall responsibility for the Fund’s oversight rests with the General Partner, subject to certain oversight rights held by the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”) with respect to periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and certain situations involving conflicts of interest, or other matters as deemed appropriate by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“CIM” or the “Investment Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company, manages the Fund pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement (see Note 6, Related Party Transactions). The Investment Advisor is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended from time to time (the “Advisers Act”). Both the General Partner and the Investment Advisor are subsidiaries of Carlyle.
