No. Dividends paid by Carlyle Credit Income Fund generally are not “qualified dividends” for tax purposes. As a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code, Carlyle Credit Income Fund is only permitted to pay qualified dividends to the extent that it earns qualified dividends from its underlying investments. Since our investment objective is to invest in predominantly debt instruments, we do not expect to earn any qualified dividends.

Dividends distributed by Carlyle Credit Income Fund are taxable to our shareholders as ordinary income or capital gains. Our shareholders will receive, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a Form 1099-DIV reporting the amounts includible in such shareholder’s taxable income for such year as ordinary income and as long-term capital gain.
