FINAL AMENDMENT TO TENDER OFFER STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by CDL Tender Fund 2022-1, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2022 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM”), a Delaware limited liability company and a limited partner of the Purchaser, (iii) Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), a Delaware statutory trust and a limited partner of the Purchaser, and (iv) AlpInvest Indigo I CI-A, L.P. (“AlpInvest LP”), a Delaware limited partnership and a limited partner of the Purchaser, to purchase up to $100,000,000 in aggregate amount of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc. (f/k/a TCG BDC II, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $20.13 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 5, 2022 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal and Transfer Form (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which are annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

CDL Tender Fund 2022-1 GP, L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), the Purchaser’s general partner, was named as a bidder on the Schedule TO because it is deemed to control the Purchaser, but otherwise is not participating in the Offer. CG Subsidiary Holdings L.L.C. (the “CG Subsidiary Holdings”), the General Partner’s sole member, was named as a bidder on the Schedule TO because it is deemed to control the General Partner and the Purchaser, but otherwise is not participating in the Offer. Cliffwater LLC (“Cliffwater”), which serves as the investment adviser to CCLF, was named as a bidder on the Schedule TO because it is deemed to control CCLF, but otherwise is not participating in the Offer. AlpInvest Indigo SCF I CI-A GP, L.P., which serves as the general partner to AlpInvest LP, was named as a bidder on the Schedule TO because it is deemed to control AlpInvest LP, but otherwise is not participating in the Offer. The Purchaser, the General Partner, CG Subsidiary Holdings, CGCIM, CCLF, Cliffwater, AlpInvest LP and AlpInvest Indigo SCF I CI GP, L.P. are collectively referred to herein as the “Offeror Group.”

This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the Offeror Group. Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in the Schedule TO are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

The following information is provided pursuant to Rules 13e-4(c)(4) and 14d-3(b)(2):

 
•
The Purchaser has received the final results of the Offer, which expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on May 3, 2022.

 
•
The Purchaser has accepted for purchase $100,000,000 in aggregate amount of Shares at a purchase price of $20.13 per Share. The number of Shares that the Purchaser has accepted for purchase in the Offer represents approximately 8.71% of the total number of Shares outstanding as of May 6, 2022.

 
•
Due to the oversubscription of the Offer, based on the final count by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the paying agent for the Offer, the Purchaser accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis approximately 46.18% of the Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the purchase price of $20.13 per share.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the below paragraph as the last paragraph in Section 10 — “Background of the Offer; Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements—Background of the Offer” before the heading “Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements” on page 17 of the Offer to Purchase:

“On May 6, 2022, the Purchaser issued a letter to stockholders announcing the final results of the Offer, which expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on May 3, 2022. A copy of this letter is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) and is incorporated by reference herein.”
