• Proposal to Authorize Below-NAV Share Issuance

  Shareholders are asked to approve a proposal authorizing the company to sell or issue common stock at a price below the then-current net asset value per share for the next 12 months. This authorization, if approved, provides the company with flexibility for future capital raises but carries the risk of diluting existing shareholders at a discount.

Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. is seeking shareholder approval to issue common stock at a price below its then-current net asset value (NAV) per share over the next 12 months. While this is an authorization and not an immediate sale, it signals the company's intent to maintain maximum flexibility for future capital raises, potentially at dilutive prices for existing shareholders. This proposal comes after the company reported mixed 2025 results and an increase in non-accrual investments, suggesting a potential need for capital. Investors should consider the implications of potential future dilution at a discount to NAV.
