#### FIRST TRUST ENHANCED PRIVATE CREDIT FUND <br> MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE <br> (unaudited)

#### Executive-Level Overview
We begin our Management Discussion of Fund Performance with an Executive-Level Overview to reaffirm our investment philosophy and provide context for how we navigated markets during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

The U.S. economy remained resilient as the past fiscal year presented a constructive, though variable, backdrop for the risk assets we invest in. Economic growth slowed but stayed positive, despite a gradually cooling labor market, supported by steady consumer activity and inflationary pressure that continues to ease with occasional persistence. U.S. market conditions were shaped by the evolving trajectory of monetary policy as the Federal Reserve continued its rate-cutting cycle beyond the initial moves made in late 2024, supporting liquidity amid ongoing policy and macro uncertainty.

U.S. equity market performance broadened over the period, with market leadership extending beyond the largest U.S. technology companies to a wider set of sectors and market capitalizations. Interest rate volatility persisted, as easing at the short end of the yield curve contrasted with periodic upward pressure on longer-term yields driven by evolving growth and inflation expectations. Meanwhile, geopolitical developments and shifting trade dynamics continued to introduce intermittent volatility across markets.

Public equity markets saw intermittent repricing as analysts expectations for earnings growth, valuation multiples and the broader economic trajectory evolved. While these pricing adjustments caused near-term uncertainty, they also contributed to a more favorable environment for deploying capital during the fiscal year. Private markets also reflected these pricing dislocations, with a growing dispersion in asset pricing and more opportunities to be opportunistically selective across managers and strategies.

While we do not seek to predict market direction, we remain focused on navigating an increasingly complex macroeconomic and broader markets environment. Elevated volatility across both public and private markets continues to challenge traditional portfolio construction and reinforces the importance of discipline. Our approach remains centered on seeking to build uncorrelated portfolios that generate positive absolute returns over time across a range of market conditions, which we believe is especially relevant in today's environment.

As is customary in our Management Discussion of Fund Performance, we will review what we believe to be the important drivers of performance and opportunity in the First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the "Fund") for the past fiscal year.

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund
Over the one-year period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund had a net total return of 10.51%. In comparison, the Fund's benchmark, the iBoxx Liquid High Yield Index, returned 7.13% over the same period. We remain pleased with the Fund's performance during its second fiscal year.

During its fiscal year, the Fund continued to allocate capital across what we viewed as the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. At March 31, 2026, the Fund's portfolio was allocated to: direct lending (29%), asset-based lending (28%), opportunistic credit (22%), and structured credit (21%). All four sub-sectors contributed positively to the Fund's net return over the year. The opportunistic credit sub-sector led performance (+3.57%), followed by the asset-based lending (+3.44%), structured credit (+2.02%), and direct lending (+1.48%) sub-sectors.

![[MISSING IMAGE: lg_firsttrust-4c.jpg]](lg_firsttrust-4c.jpg)

The Fund's strategy leverages the deal flow across First Trust Capital Management's broader credit footprint and is designed to provide targeted exposure to the top deals across our platform.

The opportunistic credit sub-sector, primarily focused on Significant Risk Transfer ("SRT")/Regulatory Capital Relief Trade positions, was a top contributor during the year. Positions in this sub-sector were typically backed by hundreds of underlying loans. New issuances across the private debt universe continued to present attractive all-in yields. Underlying collateral for all SRTs currently in the Fund's portfolio (large & mid-sized corporates, small and mid-sized enterprises, leveraged loans, autos) continued to perform well, and underlying portfolio default rates generally were at or below long-term historical averages.

The asset-based lending sub-sector also performed well, as we continued to focus on hard assets as collateral and favorable lender protections. We believe the structural protections inherent in asset-based lending provide confidence in this segment across market cycles.

In the structured credit sub-sector, the Fund opportunistically increased exposure to middle market collateral loan obligations ("CLOs"), where we viewed the spreads and entry points to be more attractive. During the year, the Fund did not have any Broadly-Syndicated Loan ("BSL") CLO exposure. BSL CLOs faced notable headwinds this year. The Fund continued to seek opportunities to actively allocate capital into CLO positions during market dislocations.

The Fund focused its direct lending sub-sector investments on the "core" middle market, meaning a target earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ranging between approximately $25-$100 million. Investments within this sub-sector continued to perform well and were spread across over 15 industries. The Fund continued to focus on transactions that we believed had strong lender protections, no payment-in-kind, and relatively attractive spreads.

We believe private credit is an asset class that remains structurally advantaged and well-positioned to generate strong risk-adjusted returns going forward. The Fund's portfolio aims to represent a balanced multi-sector approach to provide private credit exposure for investors, generally targeting positions with historically low loss rates and high seniority in the capital structure. Based on the yields of underlying positions within the Fund's portfolio, the Fund's generated income was sufficient to cover the intended distribution rate of the Fund. We maintain an optimistic outlook on private credit, viewing it as a resilient and attractive asset class for investors in the current macro environment.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and intend to work hard to maintain it. We truly appreciate your trust and confidence in First Trust Capital Management.

Kind Regards,

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the "Fund"), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2026, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from July 1, 2024 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Fund at March 31, 2026, the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets and its consolidated financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from July 1, 2024 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, underlying managers or administrators of the private investment vehicles and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks, an underlying manager or administrator or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br> March 31, 2026

#### Note 1 — Organization
First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the "Fund") is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund operates under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 10, 2024 (the "Declaration of Trust"). First Trust Capital Management L.P. (the "Investment Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Fund's investment objective is to achieve total return through income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across the full spectrum of structured and private credit, in which the focus of the Fund will be to offer exposure to both bank syndicated and non-bank originated debt instruments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, to a portfolio of private credit instruments.

On December 3, 2025, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board" and the members thereof, "Trustees") approved a two and a half for one share split for Shares, effective after the close of business on January 5, 2026. On January 6, 2026, holders of Shares (each, a "Shareholder") were deemed to hold two and a half Shares for every one Share previously held as of the close of business on January 5, 2026. The Share split did not change the total value of the Shareholders' investments in the Fund. This Share split has been retroactively adjusted in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946, *Financial Services — Investment Companies.* 

(a) Consolidation of Subsidiary

The Fund may make investments through its subsidiary, FTEPCF Cayman Sub1 Ltd., (the "Subsidiary") a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary is advised by the Investment Adviser and acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies specified in the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information. As of March 31, 2026, the net assets of the Subsidiary were $20,435,914, representing 25.28% of the Fund's consolidated total net assets.

The Subsidiary is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. It has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. The Subsidiary has elected to be disregarded as an entity separate from the Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

#### Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> March 31, 2026
(a) Valuation of Investments

UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS"), the Fund's administrator, calculates the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") as of the close of business on the last day of each month and at such other times as the Fund's Board may determine, including in connection with repurchases of Shares, in accordance with the procedures described below or as may be determined from time to time in accordance with policies established by the Board (each, a "Determination Date").

For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act. As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board has designated the Investment Adviser as the valuation designee (in such capacity, the "Valuation Designee") for the Fund to perform in good faith the fair value determination relating to all Fund investments, under the Board's oversight. The Investment Adviser carries out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through its Valuation Committee. The fair values of one or more assets may not be the prices at which those assets are ultimately sold and the differences may be significant.

The Valuation Designee may value the Fund's portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Fund assets by utilizing inputs from pricing services, quotation reporting systems, valuation agents and other third-party sources.

Securities traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any foreign stock exchange will be valued at the last sale price or the official closing price on the exchange or system where such securities are principally traded for the business day as of the relevant Determination Date. If no sale or official closing price of particular securities is reported on a particular day, the securities will be valued at the closing bid price for securities held long, or the closing ask price for securities held short, or if a closing bid or ask price, as applicable, is not available, at either the exchange or system-defined closing price on the exchange or system in which such securities are principally traded. Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market will be valued at the last sale price on the relevant Determination Date or, if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, in the case of securities held long, or the last ask price, in the case of securities held short, at the time NAV is determined. Equity securities for which no prices are obtained under the foregoing procedures, including those for which a pricing service supplies no exchange quotation or a quotation that is believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect the fair value, will be valued at the bid price, in the case of securities held long, or the ask price, in the case of securities held short, supplied by one or more dealers making a market in those securities or one or more brokers. Futures index options will be valued at the mid-point between the last bid price and the last ask price on the relevant Determination Date at the time NAV is determined.

Fixed-income securities, except for private debt investments discussed below, with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or more, will normally be valued according to dealer-supplied mean quotations or mean quotations from a recognized pricing service. Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are unavailable or are believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect fair value will be valued based upon broker-supplied quotations provided that if such quotations are unavailable or are believed by the Valuation Designee not to reflect fair value, such fixed-income securities will be valued using valuation models that take into account spread and daily yield changes on government securities

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

in the appropriate market (e.g., matrix pricing). High quality investment grade debt securities (e.g., treasuries, commercial paper, etc.) with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or less are valued at amortized cost, which the Valuation Designee has determined to approximate fair value.

The Valuation Designee will evaluate each private debt investment's fair value based on numerous factors, including but not limited to, changes in credit risk, construction risk, the financial strength of the borrower and the debt instrument's spread to U.S. Treasuries. The Fund will also engage qualified external valuation consultants to provide valuation information, typically on a quarterly basis, but at least semi-annually. The Fund will generally value any private debt investments at the lesser of their amortized cost or the mid-point of any valuation range as provided by a qualified external valuation consultant. In certain circumstances, the Valuation Designee may determine that this amount does not represent the fair value of the private debt investment based on current market conditions. In such an instance, the Valuation Designee will fair value the investment using another methodology. In its fair valuation assessment process, the Valuation Designee may consider any information it deems appropriate including from external valuation consultants.

The Fund values its investments in private investment vehicles (generally private vehicles that are excluded from the definition of "investment company" pursuant to Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) at the value determined by each private investment vehicle in accordance with such private investment vehicle's valuation policies and reported at the time of the Fund's valuation. The Fund will determine the fair value of such private investment vehicle based on the most recent final or estimated value reported by the private investment vehicle, as well as any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. A substantial amount of time may elapse between the pricing of Fund assets and the receipt of valuation information from the underlying manager of a private investment vehicle. Where deemed appropriate by the Valuation Designee and consistent with the Investment Company Act, investments in private investment vehicles may be valued at cost. Cost will be used only when cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the particular private investment vehicle under consideration.

The Fund will generally value shares of open-end and closed-end investment companies that do not trade on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges at their respective NAVs.

Warrants for which market quotations are not readily available will be fair valued based on the underlying investment. The Fund will engage qualified external valuation consultants to provide valuation information, typically on a quarterly basis, but at least semi-annually. The Fund will generally value warrants at the mid-point of any valuation range as provided by a qualified external valuation consultant. In certain circumstances, the Valuation Designee may determine that this amount does not represent the fair value of the warrant based on current market conditions. In such an instance, the Valuation Designee will fair value the investment using another methodology. In its fair valuation assessment process, the Valuation Designee may consider any information it deems appropriate including from external valuation consultants.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a pricing service. Trading in foreign securities generally is completed, and the values of such securities are determined, prior to the close of securities markets in the U.S. Foreign exchange rates are also determined prior to such close. On occasion, the values of securities and exchange rates may be affected by events occurring between the time as of which determination of such values or exchange rates are made and the time as of which the NAV of the Fund is determined. When such events materially affect the values of securities held by the Fund or its liabilities, such securities and liabilities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee.

Investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the value of portfolio positions could have an adverse effect on the Fund's NAV if the judgments regarding appropriate valuations should prove incorrect.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

(b) Foreign Currency Translation

The Fund's records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted as of 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of its net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments and foreign currency.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

(c) Private Investment Vehicles

The Fund may invest in private investment vehicles (i.e., investment funds that would be investment companies but for the exemptions under Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) that invest or trade in a wide range of securities. When the Fund invests in securities issued by private investment vehicles, it will bear its pro rata portion of the private investment vehicles' expenses. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund's own operations, thereby increasing indirect costs and potentially reducing returns to Fund Shareholders. A private investment vehicle in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of such private investment vehicle's shares and therefore the value of the Fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a private investment vehicle will be achieved. A private investment vehicle may change its investment objective or policies without the Fund's approval, which could force the Fund to withdraw its investment from such private investment vehicle at a time that is unfavorable to the Fund. In addition, one private investment vehicle may buy the same securities that another private investment vehicle sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("forward contracts") under which it is obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, which are subject to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. All contracts are "marked-to-market" daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. Counter parties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions.

(e) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and expense is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense, including where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

Some or all of the interest payments of a loan or preferred equity may be structured in the form of paid-in-kind ("PIK"), which accrues to cost and principal on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date. Interest payments structured in the form of PIK are subject to the risk that a borrower could default when actual cash interest or principal payments are due.

(f) Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and 90% of its tax-exempt income, if any, for the year. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for Consolidated Financial Statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.

*ASC 740 Income Taxes,* ("ASC 740") requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

ASC 740 requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of March 31, 2026, and for the period from the commencement of the Fund's operations on July 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

(g) Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions to Shareholders equal to 12% annually of the Fund's NAV per Share (the "Distribution Policy"). At a meeting held on March 5, 2026, the Board approved a decrease in the monthly distributions that the Fund intends to make to shareholders from 12% to 10.50% annually. The change will be effective on May 1, 2026, and will affect the distributions beginning in June 2026. This predetermined dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time, and may be increased to the extent of the Fund's investment company taxable income that it is required to distribute in order to maintain its status as a RIC. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for Consolidated Financial Statement and tax purposes.

For financial reporting purposes, dividends and distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. If, for any distribution, available cash is less than the amount of this predetermined dividend rate, then assets of the Fund will be sold and such disposition may generate additional taxable income. The Fund's final distribution for each calendar year will include any remaining investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income undistributed during the year, as well as the remaining net capital gain realized during the year. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gains, such excess amount distributed would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Payments in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the Shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the payment would constitute capital gain (assuming the Shares are held as capital assets). The Distribution Policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and Shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a Shareholder's assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund's expense ratio. The Distribution Policy also may cause the Fund to sell a security at a time it would not otherwise do so in order to manage the distribution of income and gain.

A Shareholder whose Shares are registered in their own name will automatically be a participant under the Fund's dividend reinvestment program (the "DRIP") and have all income dividends and/or capital gains distributions automatically reinvested in Shares unless such Shareholder, at any time, specifically elects to receive income dividends and/or capital gains distributions in cash.

(h) Organizational and Offering Costs

Organizational costs consist of the costs of forming the Fund, drafting of bylaws, administration, custody and transfer agency agreements and legal services in connection with the initial meeting of the Board. Offering costs consist of the costs of preparation, review and filing with the SEC the Fund's registration statement, the costs of preparation, review and filing of any associated marketing or similar materials, the costs associated with the printing, mailing or other distribution of the Private Placement Memorandum, Statement of Additional Information and/or marketing materials and the amounts of associated filing fees and legal fees associated with the offering. The aggregate amount of the organizational costs and offering costs reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations are $0 and $3,199, respectively.

Organizational costs are expensed as they are incurred. Offering costs are amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis.

(i) Segments

An operating segment is defined in ASC 280 — *Segment Reporting* as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and has discrete financial information available. The Fund's President acts as the Fund's CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the Fund's single investment objective which is executed by the Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's Consolidated Financial Statements. The total return and performance of the Fund is reflected within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Highlights. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "total assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

#### Note 3 — Investment Advisory and Other Agreements and Activity with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement") with the Investment Adviser. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay the Investment Adviser a monthly fee, in arrears, equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the Fund's net assets determined as of month-end (the "Management Fee"), subject to certain adjustments. The Investment Adviser voluntarily waived its Management Fees through June 30, 2025. The Investment Adviser terminated this voluntary reduction effective July 1, 2025. The Investment Adviser will not seek recoupment of Management Fees it waived pursuant to this voluntary waiver. The Investment Adviser waived its Management Fees totaling $163,157 under this voluntary arrangement for the period from April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund also pays the Investment Adviser an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee"). The Incentive Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 15.0% of the Fund's realized "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding month, subject to the Hurdle Rate, defined and described below. "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees that the Fund (or its wholly-owned subsidiary) receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar month, minus the Fund's operating expenses for the month (including the Management Fee, expenses and fees payable to UMBFS, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred Shares and credit agreements, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any Shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature, accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Incentive Fee attributable to Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income that is paid to the Investment Adviser in a given month may be calculated on the basis of an amount that is greater than the amount of net investment income actually received by the Fund for such month. Payment of the Incentive Fee shall be subject to a Hurdle Rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund's net assets equal to 0.42% per month (or an annualized Hurdle Rate of 5%) (the "Hurdle Rate"), subject to a "catch up" feature. For purposes of the Incentive Fee, net assets shall be calculated for the relevant month as the NAV of the Fund as of the first business day of each month. No Incentive Fee is payable to the Investment Adviser on capital gains whether realized or unrealized.

The portion of such Incentive Fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Investment Adviser, without interest, only if and to the extent the Fund actually receives such deferred interest in cash, and any accrual will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such amounts would reduce net income for the month by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of Incentive Fees payable) and would result in a reduction of the Incentive Fees for such month. No Incentive Fee is payable to the Investment Adviser on capital gains, whether realized or unrealized. In addition, the amount of the Incentive Fee is not affected by any realized or unrealized losses that the Fund may suffer. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Investment Adviser earned Incentive Fees totaling $1,102,357. The voluntary waiver of Investment Management Fees may help the Investment Adviser achieve the Hurdle Rate and collect the Incentive Fee.

The Investment Adviser has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the "Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement") with the Fund, whereby the Investment Adviser

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> March 31, 2026
has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise have been paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a "Waiver"), if required to ensure the total annual expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-2), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 2.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the "Expense Limit"). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided they are able to effect such recoupment without causing the Fund's expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (i) the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the waiver and (ii) the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the recoupment. The current term of the Expense Limit and Reimbursement Agreement is through April 25, 2027. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms unless terminated by the Fund or the Investment Adviser upon 30 days' advance written notice. Because taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, Incentive Fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the Expense Limit, total annual expenses (after fee waivers and expense reimbursements) are expected to exceed 2.00%.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Investment Adviser waived its fees in the amount of $40,882. The potential recoverable amount is noted as "Commitments and contingencies" as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of these potentially recoverable expenses was $40,882. The Investment Adviser may recapture all or a portion of this amount no later than March 31, 2029.

First Trust Portfolios L.P., an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, currently serves as the Fund's distributor. UMBFS serves as the Fund's fund accountant, transfer agent and administrator; and UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund's custodian.

A Trustee is an affiliate, and an officer of the Fund is an employee, of UMBFS. The Fund does not compensate Trustees and officers affiliated with UMBFS or the Investment Adviser. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund's fees incurred for Trustees are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Vigilant Compliance, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Fund. The Fund's fees incurred for CCO services for the year ended March 31, 2026 are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

#### Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes
The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to continue to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, the Fund will generally not be subject to federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes out all of its income and gains each year.

At March 31, 2026, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments owned by the Fund based on cost for federal income tax purposes, were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cost of investments  | $89315743 |
| Gross unrealized appreciation  | $2676597 |
| Gross unrealized depreciation  | (1093984) |
| Net unrealized appreciation on investments and derivatives  | $1582613 |

---

The difference between cost amounts for Consolidated Financial Statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in securities transactions.

#### Note 6 — Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects any risk of loss to be remote.

#### Note 7 — Repurchase of Shares
At the discretion of the Board and provided that it is in the best interests of the Fund and Shareholders to do so, the Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders by conducting tender offers every six months occurring on the last business day of June and December. In each tender offer, the Fund may offer to repurchase its Shares at their NAV as determined as of the relevant valuation date. Each tender offer will be for an amount up to 3.5% of the Fund's Shares outstanding. If the number of Shares tendered for repurchase exceeds the number the Fund intended to repurchase, the Fund may determine to repurchase less than the full number of Shares tendered. In such event, Shareholders will have their Shares repurchased on a pro rata basis, and tendering Shareholders will

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> March 31, 2026
not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund. Repurchases will be made at such times and on such terms as maybe determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. However, no assurance can be given that repurchases will occur or that any Shares properly tendered will be repurchased by the Fund. The Fund may choose not to conduct a tender offer of its outstanding Shares or may choose to conduct a tender offer for less than 3.5% of its outstanding Shares. Investors may not have access to the money invested in the Fund for an indefinite time.

#### Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement* ("ASC 820") defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as described below:

• Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-07, *Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent),* investments valued at the NAV as practical expedient are not included in the fair value hierarchy. As such, investments in Private Investment Vehicles with a fair value of $1,657,422 are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026.

#### Note 10 — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
ASU 2011-11, *Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,* requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.

The Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the Fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments' payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund's custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

The Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents financial instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities to present below. Gross amounts of the financial instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net amounts are presented below:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Unrealized Appreciation/<br>Depreciation on Forward Foreign <br>Currency Exchange Contracts** | **Counterparty**  | **Gross Amounts <br> Recognized in <br> Consolidated <br> Statement of <br> Assets and <br> Liabilities**  | **Amounts Not Offset in Consolidated <br> Statement of Assets and Liabilities**  | **Amounts Not Offset in Consolidated <br> Statement of Assets and Liabilities**  | **Amounts Not Offset in Consolidated <br> Statement of Assets and Liabilities**  |
| **Unrealized Appreciation/<br>Depreciation on Forward Foreign <br>Currency Exchange Contracts** | **Counterparty**  | **Gross Amounts <br> Recognized in <br> Consolidated <br> Statement of <br> Assets and <br> Liabilities**  | **Financial <br> Instruments\***  | **Cash <br> Collateral\*\***  | **Net Amount**  |
|  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts – assets  | BNP Paribas  | $283591 | $(945) | $— | $282646 |
|  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts – liabilities  | BNP Paribas  | $(945) | $945 | $— | $— |

---

\* Amounts relate to Master Netting Agreements and collateral agreements (for example, ISDA) which have been determined by the Investment Adviser to be legally enforceable in the event of default and where certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance.

\*\* The collateral amounts may exceed the related net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Where this is the case, the total amount reported is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities with that counterparty.

#### Note 11 — Commitments
Bank loans may be structured to be fully funded at the time of investment or include unfunded investment commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. The potential investment commitments are noted as "Commitments and contingencies" as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, unfunded commitments totaled $2,142,446

#### Note 12 — Credit Agreements
The Fund, as the borrower, has entered into a credit agreement (the "TriState Agreement"), with TriState Capital Bank as the lender. The TriState Agreement establishes a commitment by the lender to make revolving loans to the Fund in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, which may be increased from time to time upon mutual agreement by the parties.

default, the lender may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the PNC Agreement immediately due and payable. The Fund's obligations to the lender under the PNC Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Fund.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred a cost related to the setup and maintenance of the PNC Agreement as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

#### Note 13 — Risk Factors
An investment in the Fund involves various risks. The Fund allocates assets to investment funds that invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using a variety of strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics, including the risks arising from the volatility of the equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets, the risks of borrowings and short sales, the risks arising from leverage associated with trading in the equities, currencies and over-the-counter derivatives markets, the illiquidity of derivative instruments and the risk of loss from counterparty defaults.

No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program will be successful.

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability, threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, recessions or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. Tensions, war or open conflict between nations, such as recently between Russia and Ukraine, in the Middle East or in eastern Asia, could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, bank failures, restrictions on investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate in impacted markets. The United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant tariffs, (which the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled were unconstitutional) and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. Significant uncertainty remains about the United States's future relationships with other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, military conflicts, sanctions and potential tariffs. These developments, or the perception thereof, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, trade between the impacted nations and the United States, the stability of global financial markets and overall global economic conditions. These events could adversely affect the Fund's performance, the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests and may lead to losses. The ultimate impact of "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" on the financial performance of the Fund's investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

#### Note 14 — Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> FUND INFORMATION <br> March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

#### Board Consideration of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement
At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" and the members thereof, "Trustees") held on March 4 – 5, 2026 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including a majority of Trustees who are not "interested persons" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the continuation of the investment management agreement between First Trust Capital Management L.P. (the "Investment Adviser") and First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the "Fund") (the "Investment Management Agreement"). In advance of the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and received materials from the Investment Adviser to assist them in considering the approval of the Investment Management Agreement. Among other things, the Board reviewed reports from third parties and management about the below factors. The Board did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to approve the Investment Management Agreement. Nor are the items described herein all-encompassing of the matters considered by the Board. The Board engaged in a detailed discussion of the materials with management of the Investment Adviser. The Independent Trustees then met separately with their independent counsel for a full review of the materials. Following these sessions, the full Board reconvened and after further discussion determined that the information presented provided a sufficient basis upon which to approve the Investment Management Agreement.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, including the selection of Fund investments. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, including, among other things, providing office facilities, equipment, and personnel. The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers and other key personnel of the Investment Adviser who provide the investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Investment Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well-qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services for the Fund in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also took into account the Investment Adviser's compliance policies and procedures, including those used by the Investment Adviser to determine the value of the Fund's investments. The Board concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and administrative services provided to the Fund was satisfactory.

PERFORMANCE

The Board considered the investment performance of the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund, noting that the Investment Adviser also acted as investment adviser to certain funds with a similar investment objective and strategy, and considering the performance of those funds in absolute and relative terms. The Board considered performance information of the Fund compared to twenty four comparable credit/income focused unlisted closed-end funds selected by an independent third party (collectively, "Peer Group"), as well as one relevant index. The Board noted that while the Fund had outperformed the Peer Group median and average for the one-year period ended September 30, 2026, and three-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund underperformed against the relevant index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2025. The Board considered the overall performance of the Fund and concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

FEES AND EXPENSES

The Board reviewed and considered the advisory fee rate, incentive fee and total net expense ratio of the Fund. The Board compared the advisory fees and total net expense ratio for the Fund with various comparative data, including a third-party report on the advisory fees, incentive fee and expenses of the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund <br> FUND INFORMATION — Continued <br> March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
Fund's Peer Group. The Board noted that the Fund's advisory fees, exclusive of the incentive fee, were lower than the Peer Group median and average, while total net expenses were higher than the Peer Group median and average, after taking into account acquired fund fees and expenses. If acquired fund fees and expenses were not included, the Fund's net expenses remained higher than its Peer Group median and average. In addition, the Board noted that the Investment Adviser had contractually agreed to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses for automatically renewing consecutive one-year terms unless the agreement was terminated. The Board concluded that the advisory fees paid by the Fund and total net expense ratio were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided.

BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board considered that the structure of the Fund's advisory fees under the Investment Management Agreement did not include breakpoints. The Board noted the Investment Adviser's continued assertion that the breakpoints were not needed at current asset levels but it would re-evaluate as the Fund's assets grew. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fees were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided.

PROFITABILITY OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the costs incurred and profits realized by the Investment Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also reviewed the Investment Adviser's financial condition, which is noted appeared stable. The Board determined that the compensation to the Investment Adviser from the Fund was reasonable and that the Investment Adviser's the financial condition was adequate.

ANCILLARY BENEFITS AND OTHER FACTORS

The Board also discussed other benefits to be received by the Investment Adviser from its management of the Fund including, without limitation, reputational benefits and the ability to market advisory services for similar products or other funds managed by the Investment Adviser in the future. The Board noted that the Investment Adviser was an affiliate of the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor") and that the Distributor received certain fees for its role as distributor and for other services related to the Fund that were paid by the Investment Adviser. The Board further considered that a registered investment adviser affiliated with the Investment Adviser received separate management fees with respect to Fund shares held by clients of the affiliate registered investment adviser, noting that the Investment Adviser did not participate in the separate fees earned by the affiliate registered investment adviser. The Board further noted that the Investment Adviser did not have affiliations with the Fund's transfer agent, fund accountant or custodian, and therefore, did not derive any benefits from the relationships those parties had with the Fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of the fall-out benefits.

GENERAL CONCLUSION

Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material, and assisted by the advice of its counsel, the Board concluded it to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 0%

controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved
pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

**First Trust Capital Management L.P.**

**PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURE**

**<u>INTRODUCTION</u>**

First Trust Capital Management L.P. ("FTCM") acts as either the advisor or sub-advisor to a number of registered investment companies, and manager or general partner to a number of non-registered private investment companies (referred to collectively as the "Funds"). In accord with Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, FTCM has adopted the following policies and procedures to provide information on FTCM's proxy policy (the "Proxy Policy and Procedure"). These policies and procedures apply only to FTCM. Investment managers engaged as a sub-advisor for at least one of the Funds are required to vote proxies in accord with their own policies and procedures and any applicable management agreements, as agreed upon in the sub-advisory agreement.

**<u>GENERAL GUIDELINES</u>**

FTCM's Proxy Policy and Procedure is designed to ensure that proxies are voted in a manner (i) reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders<sup>1</sup> and (ii) not affected by any material conflict of interest. FTCM considers shareholders' best economic interests over the long term (*i.e.*, addresses the common interest of all shareholders over time). Although shareholders may have differing political or social interests or values, their economic interest is generally uniform.

FTCM has adopted voting guidelines to assist in making voting decisions on common issues. The guidelines are designed to address those securities in which the Funds generally invest and may be revised in FTCM's discretion. Any non-routine matters not addressed by the proxy voting guidelines are addressed on a case-by-case basis, considering all relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote, particularly where such matters have a potential for major economic impact on the issuer's structure or operations. In making voting determinations, FTCM typically will rely on the individual portfolio managers who invest in and track particular companies as they are the most knowledgeable about, and best suited to make decisions regarding, particular proxy matters. In addition, FTCM may conduct research internally and/or use the resources of an independent research consultant. FTCM may also consider other materials such as studies of corporate governance and/or analyses of shareholder and management proposals by a certain sector of companies and may engage in dialogue with an issuer's management.

FTCM acknowledges its responsibility to identify material conflicts of interest related to voting proxies. FTCM's employees are required to disclose to the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") any personal conflicts, such as officer or director positions held by them, their spouses or close relatives, in any publicly traded company. Conflicts based on business relationships with FTCM, any affiliate or any person associated with FTCM, will be considered only to the extent that FTCM has actual knowledge of such relationships. FTCM then takes appropriate steps to address identified conflicts. Typically, in those instances when a proxy vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund, on the one hand, and FTCM's interests or the interests of a person affiliated with FTCM on the other, FTCM will abstain from making a voting decision and will document the decision and reasoning for doing so.

<sup>1</sup> Actions taken in accord with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders are those which align most closely with the Funds' stated investment objectives and strategies.

First Trust Capital Management \| 225 W. Wacker Drive \| 21<sup>st</sup> Floor \| Chicago, IL 60606 \| P: 773.828.6700 \| F: 847.386.2910

![](tm2614865d1_prximg001.jpg)

In some cases, the cost of voting a proxy may outweigh the expected benefits. For example, casting a vote on a foreign security may involve additional costs such as hiring a translator or traveling to the foreign country to vote the security in person. In such situations, FTCM may abstain from voting a proxy if the effect on shareholders' economic interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.

In certain cases, securities on loan as part of a securities lending program may not be voted. Nothing in the proxy voting policies shall obligate FTCM to exercise voting rights with respect to a portfolio security if it is prohibited by the terms of the security or by applicable law or otherwise.

FTCM will not discuss with members of the public how they intend to vote on any particular proxy proposal.

**<u>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS</u>**

The registered investment companies are subject to the restrictions of Sections 12(d)(1)(A)(i) and (B)(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). Generally, these provisions require that any fund and any entity controlled by that fund (including ETFs that are registered investment companies) may not (i) own, in the aggregate, more than three percent (3%) of the total outstanding voting securities of any registered open-end or closed-end investment company, including money market funds<sup>2</sup>; (ii) invest more than 5% of its total net assets in any one investment company; or (iii) invest more than 10% of its total assets in the securities of other investment companies. Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the Act provides that the Section 12(d)(1) limitations do not apply to the securities acquired by a fund if (x) immediately after the purchase or acquisition of not more than 3% of the total outstanding stock of such registered investment company is owned by the fund and all affiliated persons of the fund, and (y) the fund is not proposing to offer or sell any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price which includes a sales load of more than one and a half percent (1.5%). In the event that one of Funds relies upon Section 12(d)(1)(F), FTCM, acting on behalf of the Fund, will, when voting with respect to any investment company owned by the Fund, comply with either of the following voting restrictions:

● Seek instruction from the Fund's shareholders with regard to the voting of all proxies and vote in accordance with such instructions, or

● Vote the shares held by the Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such security.

● In addition to Section 12(d)(1)(F), Rule 12d1-4 under the Act states that a registered investment company ("Acquiring Fund") may purchase or otherwise acquire the securities issued by another registered investment company (the "Acquired Fund") in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1) and an Acquired Fund may sell or otherwise dispose of the securities issued by the Acquiring Fund in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1) if certain conditions are met. One of the conditions is that if the Acquiring Fund and its advisory group (as defined by Rule 12d1-4), in aggregate (A) hold more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of an Acquired Fund that is a registered open-end management investment company or registered unit investment trust as a result of a decrease in the outstanding voting securities of an Acquired Fund, or (B) hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an Acquired Fund that is a registered closed-end management investment company or business development company, each of those holders will vote its securities in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such securities. When relying on Rule 12d1-4, the Fund will comply with such voting restrictions as required by Rule 12d1-4 and any applicable provision in the respective Fund of Funds Agreement with the Acquired Fund.

<sup>2</sup> The three percent (3%) limit is measured at the time of investment.

![](tm2614865d1_prximg001.jpg)

**<u>ISS ProxyEdge</u>**

FTCM has a contractual relationship with Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") through which ISS provides certain proxy management services to FTCM's portfolio management teams. Specifically, ISS (i) provides access to the ISS ProxyExchange web-based voting and research platform to access vote recommendations, research reports, execute vote instructions and run reports relevant to Subscriber's proxy voting environment; (ii) implements and maps FTCM's designated proxy voting policies to applicable accounts and generates vote recommendations based on the application of such policies; and (iii) monitors FTCM's incoming ballots, performs ballot-to-account reconciliations with FTCM and its third party providers to help ensure that ISS is receiving all ballots for which FTCM has voting rights. As part of our compliance procedures, FTCM's Compliance Department reviews ISS on a periodic basis. The procedures performed include obtaining and reviewing certain compliance and operational related documents and reviewing a sample of proxies voted during the year to ensure compliance with our proxy voting policies and procedures.

ISS provides two options for how proxy ballots are executed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Implied
 Consent: ISS executes ballots on FTCM's behalf based on policy guidelines chosen at
 the time FTCM entered into the relationship with ISS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Mandatory
 Signoff: ISS is not permitted to mark or process any ballot on FTCM's behalf without
 first receiving FTCM's specific voting instructions via ProxyExchange.

FTCM has opted for Option 1. Implied Consent and in so doing has chosen to allow ISS to vote proxies on its behalf "with management's recommendations." FTCM has the option, however, to change its vote from the "with management's recommendations" default at any point prior to the voting deadline if the portfolio managers following the subject company determine it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to do so. In those instances when the subject company's management has not provided a voting recommendation, FTCM will either vote based on its own determination of what would align most closely with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders or will opt to allow ISS to submit an "abstain" vote on its behalf. In addition, in those limited instances when share blocking<sup>3</sup> may apply, FTCM has instructed ISS not to cast a vote on FTCM's behalf unless FTCM provides specific instructions via ProxyExchange.

<sup>3</sup> Proxy voting in certain countries requires share blocking. Shareholders wishing to vote their proxies must deposit their shares shortly before the meeting date with a designated depositary. During this blocking period, any shares held by the designated depositary cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares have been returned to FTCM's custodian banks. FTCM generally opts not to participate in share blocking proxies given these restrictions on their ability to trade.

**<u>FUND OF FUNDS-SPECIFIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES</u>**

Several of the Funds are "Fund of Funds" that invest primarily in general or limited partnerships or other private investment vehicles (collectively, "Investment Funds"). While it is unlikely that the Fund of Funds will receive notices or proxies from Investment Funds, to the extent that the Fund of Funds do receive such notices or proxies and the Fund of Funds have voting interests in such Investment Funds, the responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by the Fund of Funds lies with FTCM as their advisor. FTCM will vote such proxies in accordance with the proxy policies and procedures noted above.

**<u>REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES-SPECIFIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES</u>**

Each Fund that is registered under the Act is required to file Form N-PX annually, with its complete proxy voting record for the twelve (12) months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon request, from the Fund's administrator or (ii) by visiting the SEC's website at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

**Conflicts of Interest**

The Investment Adviser and Portfolio Managers may manage multiple funds and/or other accounts, and as a result may be presented with one or more of the following actual or potential conflicts:

The management of multiple funds and/or other accounts may result in the Investment Adviser or Portfolio Manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund and/or other account. The Investment Adviser seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of a Portfolio Manager by having the Portfolio Manager focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Fund.

If the Investment Adviser or Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Investment Adviser has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.

The Investment Adviser have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (3) The below information is provided as of March 31, 2026.

Mr. Peck and Mr. Murphy receive base salaries and bonuses, neither of which is based on performance, and are eligible to avail themselves of life insurance, medical and dental benefits offered to all First Trust Capital Management L.P. employees and to participate in First Trust Capital Management L.P.'s 401(k) plan. In addition, they are limited partners of VFT Holdings LP and receive compensation based on the overall profitability of the firm and its affiliates. Mr. O'Hara receives a fixed salary and a discretionary bonus, based on individual and firm level performance. In addition, he owns interests in First Trust Capital Management L.P. and receives compensation based on the overall profitability of the firm. He also participates in a 401(k) program and receives medical/dental insurance benefits on the same basis as other employees of First Trust Capital Management L.P.

**FINANCIAL OFFICER CODE OF ETHICS**

<u>Purposes of the Code</u>

The reputation and integrity of the First Trust Enhanced Private Credit Fund (the "Fund") are valuable assets that are vital to the Fund's success. Each officer and employee of the Fund, including each of the Fund's senior financial officers ("SFOs"), is responsible for conducting the Fund's business in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of integrity. SFOs include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, comptroller (or principal accounting officer), and any person who performs a similar function. The Fund has adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund's Rule 17j-1 Code is designed to prevent certain conflicts of interest that may arise when officers, employees, or trustees know about present or future Fund transactions, have the power to influence those transactions; and engage in securities transactions in their personal account(s).

The Fund has chosen to adopt a financial officer code of ethics for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest
between personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files
with, or submits to, the SEC, and in other public communications made by the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified
in the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Accountability for adherence to the Code.

This Code of Ethics should be read in conjunction with the Fund's other policy statements, including its Rule 17j-1 Code and its Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

<u>Principles for the Handling of Financial Information</u>

The Fund has adopted the following principles to govern the manner in which SFOs perform their duties. Persons subject to these guidelines include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, comptroller (or principal accounting officer), and any Fund officer or employee who performs a similar function or who participates in the preparation of any part of the Fund's financial statements. Specifically, persons subject to this Code shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Act with honesty and integrity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Fund in personal and professional relationships

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Provide information to the Fund's employees and service providers (Investment Manager, administrator,
outside auditor, outside counsel, custodian, etc.) that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely, and understandable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate, and understandable disclosure in the Fund's periodic reports

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Comply with the federal securities laws and other applicable laws and rules, such as the Internal Revenue
Code

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Act in good faith, responsibly, and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material
facts or subordinating independent judgment to another end

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work, except where disclosure
is expressly permitted or is otherwise legally mandated

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Record (or participate in the recording of) entries in the Fund's books and records that are accurate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Refrain from using confidential information for personal advantage

<u>Violations of the Code</u>

Any action that directly or indirectly contravenes one or more of the Principles outlined above shall be treated as a violation of this Code unless good cause for such apparent contravention is found to exist.

Dishonest or unethical conduct or conduct that is illegal will constitute a per se violation of this Code, regardless of whether this Code refers to that particular conduct.

A violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. The Fund must and will report all suspected criminal violations to the appropriate authorities for possible prosecution, and will investigate, address and report as appropriate, non-criminal violations.

<u>Enforcement of the Code</u>

*Violations*

All persons subject to this Code who observe, learn of, or, in good faith, suspect a current or threatened violation of the Code must immediately report the violation in writing to the Compliance Officer, another member of the Fund's senior management, or to the Audit Committee of the Board. An example of a possible Code violation is the preparation and filing of financial disclosure that omits material facts, or that is accurate but is written in a way that obscures its meaning.

*Disclosures*

All persons subject to this Code shall file a letter (a "Disclosure Letter") regarding any transaction or relationship that reasonably appears to involve an actual or apparent conflict of interest with the Fund within ten days of becoming aware of such transaction or relationship. A Disclosure Letter should be prepared regarding these transactions or relationships whether you are involved or have only observed the transaction or relationship. All Disclosure Letters shall be submitted to the Compliance Officer, or if it is not possible to disclose the matter to the Compliance Officer, then the Disclosure Letter shall be submitted to another member of the Fund's senior management or to the Audit Committee of the Board.

An executive officer of the Fund or the Audit Committee will review all Disclosure Letters and determine whether further action is warranted. All determinations will be documented in writing and will be maintained by the Compliance Officer or other appropriate officers of the Fund.

*Outside Service Providers*

Because service providers to the Fund, such as the Administrator, outside accounting firm, and custodian, provide much of the work relating to the Fund's financial statements, you should be alert for actions by service providers that may be illegal, or that could be viewed as dishonest or unethical conduct. You should report these actions to the Compliance Officer even if you know, or think, that the service provider has its own code of ethics covering persons who are Fund SFOs or employees.

*Non-Retaliation Policy*

SFOs who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.

<u>Annual Certification</u>

SFOs will receive training on the contents and importance of this Code and related policies and the manner in which violations must be reported and how Disclosure Letters must be submitted. Each SFO will be asked to certify on an annual basis that he/she is in full compliance with the Code and any related policy statements.

<u>Questions about the Code</u>

The Fund's Board of Trustees has designated Bernadette Murphy to be the Compliance Officer for purposes of implementing and administering this Code. Any questions about this Code should be directed to the Compliance Officer.

Effective: April 25, 2024
