Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 25, 2025, Carlyle Private Equity Partners Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) and CPEP Feeder, L.P. (the “Feeder”),

entered into an agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) with TCG Capital Markets L.L.C. (the “Dealer Manager”), a

broker-dealer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Pursuant to the Dealer

Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager will manage the Fund’s relationships with third-party brokers engaged by the Dealer

Manager to participate in the distribution of the Fund’s limited partnership units (“Units”). The Dealer Manager will also

coordinate the Fund’s marketing and distribution efforts with participating brokers and their registered representatives with

respect to communications related to the terms of the Fund’s offering, its investment strategies, material aspects of its

operations, and subscription procedures.

The Dealer Manager will be entitled to receive a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) monthly in arrears at an annual

rate of the net asset value (“NAV”) of each class of the Fund’s Units as outlined in the following table:


Servicing Fee (per annum)		Classes of Units (1)
0.85%		Class S Units, Class A-S Units, Class E-S Units
0.25%		Class D Units, Class A-D Units, Class E-D Units
—%		Class I Units, Class A-I Units, Class E-I Units, Class C Units

________________

(1)The corresponding Units of the Feeder—Class STE Units, Class A-STE Units, Class E-STE Units, Class DTE Units, Class A-DTE Units and Class E-DTE

Units—will pay the Servicing Fees at the Feeder level (without duplication at the Fund level).

The Servicing Fee will be calculated based on NAV as of the end of each month before giving effect to any accruals

for the Servicing Fee, redemptions, if any, for that month and distributions payable on Units. The Servicing Fee will be payable

to the Dealer Manager, but the Dealer Manager anticipates that all or a portion of the Servicing Fee will be retained by, or

reallowed (paid) to, participating brokers or other financial intermediaries. Any amounts allocated in accordance with the

foregoing sentence will compensate such participating brokers or other financial intermediaries for reporting, administrative and

other services provided to the holders of such units by such participating brokers or other financial intermediaries, as applicable.

The foregoing description of the Dealer Manager Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by

reference to the full text of the Dealer Manager Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K

and incorporated herein by reference.
