Item 4.01

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) At a meeting held on May 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Tax-Exempt Private Credit Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) approved the engagement of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. Ernst & Young LLP previously served as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended September 30, 2024. On May 21, 2025, the Fund notified Ernst & Young LLP of the Fund’s engagement of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, and the resulting dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP, as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of Ernst & Young LLP, the previous independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, on the Fund’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During each of the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and for the period through May 21, 2025: (i) there were no disagreements between the Fund and Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the Fund.

The Fund has provided Ernst & Young LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Ernst & Young LLP furnish the Fund with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the foregoing statements made by the Fund and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Ernst & Young LLP’s letter, dated May 28, 2025, is filed as an exhibit to this Report.

(b) At a meeting held on May 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved the engagement of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

During each of the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and for the period through May 21, 2025, none of the Fund or any party acting on behalf of the Fund consulted Tait, Weller & Baker LLP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Fund or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
