EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (“Registration Statement”) is being filed for the purpose of registering an
additional 38,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of The Carlyle Group Inc. (the
“Company”) reserved for issuance under The Carlyle Group Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). These additional shares of Common Stock are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which an
original registration statement (File No. 333-181109) on Form S-8 was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) on May 2, 2012 and additional registration statements (File Nos. 333-187264, 333-194164,
333-202315, 333-209690, 333-216100, 333-223051, and 333-229663) were filed with the Commission on March 14,
2013, February 27, 2014, February 26, 2015, February 24, 2016, February 16, 2017, February 15, 2018, and February 13, 2019,
respectively (the “Original Registration Statements”). On January 2, 2020, in connection with the conversion of The Carlyle
Group L.P. from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware corporation, The Carlyle Group Inc., the Company filed Post-
Effective Amendment No. 1 to each of the Original Registration Statements to reflect the adoption by the Company of the
Original Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additional registration
statements (File Nos. 333-236394, 333-252992, 333-269328, 333-272726, and 333-281300) were filed with the Commission on
February 12, 2020, February 11, 2021, January 20, 2023, June 16, 2023, and August 6, 2024, respectively. These additional
shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Plan, which was
approved by shareholders on June 3, 2026, at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements, as amended by the
