EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (“Registration Statement”) is being filed for the purpose of registering an additional
19,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of The Carlyle Group Inc. (the “Company”)
reserved for issuance under The Carlyle Group Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). These
additional shares of Common Stock are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which an original
registration statement (File No. 333-181109) on Form S-8 was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on May 2, 2012 and additional registration statements (File Nos. 333-187264, 333-194164, 333-202315,

“Original Registration Statements”). On January 2, 2020, in connection with the conversion of The Carlyle Group L.P. from a
Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware corporation, The Carlyle Group Inc., the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 to each of the Original Registration Statements to reflect the adoption by the Company of the Original Registration
Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additional registration statements (File Nos.
333-236394, 333-252992, 333-269328, and 333-272726) were filed with the Commission on February 12, 2020, February 11,
2021, January 20, 2023, and June 16, 2023, respectively. These additional shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance
in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Plan, which was approved by shareholders on May 29, 2024 at the
Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements, as amended by the post-

Plan (the “Plan”). 
We have examined the Registration Statement, the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Bylaws of the Company, which have been

certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the
Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in
connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. 
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and
limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that, upon issuance and delivery in accordance
with the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Delaware General Corporation Law.
