On August 12, 2026, Nancy Hawthorne retired from First Eagle Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) and resigned from her positions as Trustee and Chairperson of the board of trustees of the Fund (the “Board”). Ms. Hawthorne’s decision to retire and resign from her positions as Trustee and Chairperson of the Board was not due to a disagreement on any matter related to the Fund’s operations, policies or practices. In connection with Ms. Hawthorne’s retirement and resignation, the Board elected Patrick Coyne, an Independent Trustee of the Fund, to the position of Chairperson of the Board.

Mr. Coyne said: “On behalf of my fellow Trustees and the management team at First Eagle, we wish Nancy all the best in her retirement and thank her for her dedicated service as Trustee and Chairperson. Management and the Board would like to acknowledge Nancy’s many contributions to the First Eagle Private Credit Fund, and her collegial attitude and positive disposition will be remembered fondly. I am honored to have been chosen to succeed Nancy as Chairperson and am grateful for the confidence the Board has placed in me.”
