This Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 28, 2023 (this “Amendment”), amends that certain Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated July 14, 2023 (the “Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust”), as supplemented by that certain Supplement to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 24, 2023 (the “Supplement”, and, collectively with the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as further restated, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Declaration of Trust”), of Carlyle Credit Income Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Declaration of Trust.

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Fund previously designated a series of 1,380,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest as the Series A Preferred Shares due 2028 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Supplement, the Trustees of the Fund wish to designate additional preferred shares of beneficial interest as Series A Preferred Shares.

Each Series A Preferred Share shall have such preferences, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption, in addition to those required by applicable law and those that are expressly set forth in this Supplement. The Series A Preferred Shares shall constitute a separate series of Shares (as defined below) and each Series A Preferred Share shall be identical. No fractional Series A Preferred Share shall be issued. Each certificate representing Series A Preferred Shares shall be substantially in the Form of Exhibit A.”

2.    Entire Agreement. Except as amended herein, the Declaration of Trust shall remain in full force and effect.
