The Carlyle Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, where applicable, the “Company”, which may also be referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”, is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed on February 10, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), to provide financial statements for FGH Parent, L.P. (“FGH Parent”, the successor partnership to Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC), pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. FGH Parent, along with its predecessor, was significant under Rule 3-09 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, but not for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, under Rule 3-09, we have included in this Amendment unaudited financial statements for 2021 and audited financial statements for 2020 and 2019. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b), these financial statements of FGH Parent are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K as Exhibit 99.1 included in Part IV, Item 15 of this filing.

Except as otherwise expressly noted, this Amendment does not modify or update in any way (i) the consolidated financial position, the results of operations or cash flows of the Company, or (ii) the disclosures in or exhibits to the Form 10-K; nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
