This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 12”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 10, 2020 and amended on February 25, 2020, May 11, 2020, July 6, 2020, November 17, 2020, January 8, 2021, March 19, 2021, July 13, 2021, July 29, 2021, August 6, 2021, August 17, 2021 and August 31, 2021 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Carlyle Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
