Carlyle Group Elects New Director Following Shareholder Vote

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2026 — Carlyle Group Inc. elected a new director and accepted the departure of an existing board member, according to an 8-K filed with the SEC on June 5.

The filing discloses results under Item 5.07 for matters submitted to a vote of security holders at the annual meeting and details an officer and director change under Item 5.02. Item 5.02 identifies the specific individual who departed the board, the named replacement who was elected, the effective date of both actions, and any cited cause for the departure.

The board change affects oversight of Carlyle Group, which manages $426 billion in assets across private equity, credit, and real estate strategies on behalf of public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individuals. The company has 2,200 employees worldwide.

Prior to the annual meeting the board had a set roster of directors responsible for corporate governance, risk oversight, and approval of major investment decisions. Following the vote, the new director assumes those responsibilities and the departing director's term ends effective immediately upon the meeting's conclusion on June 5, 2026.

The filing triggers no separate regulatory deadlines beyond standard Form 4 or Form 3 reporting for the new director's beneficial ownership within two business days under Section 16.

Downstream, the reconstituted board must now approve the next quarterly dividend declaration, ratify the independent auditor for the current fiscal year, and review compensation committee recommendations at its next scheduled meeting. Limited partners in Carlyle-sponsored funds will see the change reflected in the next round of annual investor letters and Form ADV updates filed with the SEC.

The election also satisfies NYSE governance rules requiring majority independent directors, avoiding any need for interim corrective filings.

This marks the latest board refresh at Carlyle since its 2012 initial public offering. The company last reported a similar director election and departure in its 8-K filed after the 2025 annual meeting.
