#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)

#### Note 1 — Organization
First Trust 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 as an interval fund. The Fund operates under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 16, 2022 (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 currently offers shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") in two separate share Classes: Class A Shares and Class I Shares.

The Fund's investment objective is to produce current income. 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 diverse portfolio of private credit instruments. The Fund uses a "multi-manager" approach whereby the Fund's assets are allocated among the Investment Adviser and one or more Sub-Adviser (as defined in Note 3 below), in percentages determined at the discretion of the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser and Sub-Advisers may invest directly in individual securities or through closed-end and open-end registered investment companies, private investment vehicles ("Private Investment Vehicles") and other investment vehicles that invest or trade in a wide range of investments.

The Fund commenced the public offering of Class I Shares on September 6, 2022 and has publicly offered Class I Shares in a continuous offering since that time. Class A Shares have been publicly offered since June 6, 2023. The Shares are generally offered for purchase on any business day, which is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, in each case subject to any applicable sales charges and other fees, as described herein. The Shares are issued at net asset value ("NAV") per Share. No holder of Shares (each, a "Shareholder") has the right to require the Fund to redeem its Shares.

The Shares of each class represent an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and have equal rights as to voting, redemptions, dividends and liquidation, subject to the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board", and the members thereof, the "Trustees"). Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class of Shares in proportion to their relative Shares outstanding. Shareholders of a Class that bears distribution and service expenses under the terms of a distribution plan have exclusive voting rights with respect to that distribution plan.

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.

#### 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.

(a) Valuation of Investments

UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS"), the Fund's administrator, calculates the Fund's NAV as of the close of business on each business day and at such other times as the 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 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 Fund 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 are 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 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,

------

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

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
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 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.

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 funds 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 semiannually. 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

------

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

represent the fair value of the warrant based on current market conditions. In such an instance, the Valuation Designee will fair value the warrant 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 United States. 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.

(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 from 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

Private Investment Vehicles generally exempt under Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act 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 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.

------

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

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may utilize 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. Counterparties 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 be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates 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.

Collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") equity investments recognize investment income by utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows, as required by ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interest in Securities Financial Assets. The Fund monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the Consolidated Statement of Operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Fund during the period.

(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 six months. 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 six months 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 a 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.

------

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

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, based on the statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of September 30, 2025, and during the prior three open tax years, 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 makes monthly distributions to its shareholders equal to 10% annually of the Fund's NAV per Share (the "Distribution Policy"). 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 character of distributions made during six months 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 six months, as well as the remaining net capital gain realized during six months. 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 its 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.

(h) Segments

The Fund has adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). An operating segment is defined 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 decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's consolidated financial statements. The total return and

------

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

performance 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 management agreement (the "Agreement") with the Investment Adviser. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser a monthly fee (the "Investment Management Fee"), in arrears, equal to 1.35% on an annualized basis of the Fund's net assets determined as of month-end, subject to certain adjustments.

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 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 that Total Annual Expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, 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 2.40% and 1.65% of the net assets on an annualized basis of Class A Shares and Class I Shares, respectively (the "Expense Limit"). The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement may not be terminated by the Fund or the Investment Adviser until April 29, 2026. 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' advanced written notice. Because taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, 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 2.40% and 1.65% for the Class A Shares and Class I Shares, respectively. 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 it is able to effect such recoupment and remain in compliance with the Expense Limit in effect at the time of the Waiver and the Expense Limit at the time of the recoupment.

For six months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Adviser has waived $461,756 in Investment Management fees for Class I Shares. At September 30, 2025, the amount of these potentially recoverable expenses was $2,087,281. The Investment Adviser may recapture all or a portion of this amount no later than March 31<sup>st</sup> of year stated below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 2026  | $411518 |
| 2027  | 530751 |
| 2028  | 683256 |
| 2029  | 461756 |
| Total  | $2087281 |

---

The Fund uses a "multi-manager" approach whereby the Fund's assets are allocated amongst the Investment Adviser and one or more Sub-Advisers in percentages determined at the discretion of the Investment Adviser. During six months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Adviser has engaged Mount Logan Management, LLC ("Mount Logan") and Palmer Square Capital Management LLC ("Palmer Square") (each, a "Sub-Adviser" and together, the "Sub-Advisers") to manage certain assets of the Fund. Pursuant to a separate sub-advisory agreement among the Fund, the Investment Adviser and Mount Logan, Mount Logan receives a portfolio management fee equal to 1.00% on an annualized basis of their portion of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to certain adjustments.

------

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

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
Pursuant to a separate sub-advisory agreement among the Fund, the Investment Adviser and Palmer Square, Palmer Square receives a portfolio management fee equal to 0.50% on an annualized basis of their portion of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to certain adjustments. Effective July 1, 2025 Palmer Square's portfolio management fee was revised to 0.45% on an annualized basis of their portion of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to certain adjustments. Each Sub-Adviser's fee is paid by the Investment Adviser out of the Investment Management Fee.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to Class A Shares and Class I Shares in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act. The Distribution and Service Plans allow the Fund to pay distribution and servicing fees for the sale and servicing of its Class A Shares and Class I Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares, the Fund is permitted to pay as compensation up to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class A Shares and under the Distribution and Service Plan for Class I Shares, the Fund is permitted to pay as compensation up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class I Shares (collectively, the "Distribution and Servicing Fee") to qualified recipients. The Fund or the Distributor may pay all or a portion of these fees to any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of the respective Class of Shares or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Distribution and Servicing Fee is paid out of the Fund's assets attributable to the applicable Share class and decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of such Share class.

First Trust Portfolios L.P. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, 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 a custodian of the assets of the Fund.

A Trustee and certain officers of the Fund are employees of UMBFS. The Fund does not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with UMBFS or Investment Adviser. For six months ended September 30, 2025, 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 six months ended September 30, 2025 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 substantially all of its income and gains each year.

At September 30, 2025, 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  | $466378167 |
| Gross unrealized appreciation  | $17076410 |
| Gross unrealized depreciation  | $(13492013) |
| Net unrealized appreciation on investments  | $3584397 |

---

------

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

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
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. As of March 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Undistributed ordinary income  | $1491426 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains  |  |
| Accumulated capital and other losses  | (681440) |
| Net unrealized appreciation on investments  | (2976934) |
| Other temporary differences  | (4506) |
| Total accumulated earnings (deficit)  | $(2171454) |

---

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Distribution paid from:**  | **2025**  | **2024**  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ordinary income  | $26942238 | $6940804 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net long-term capital gains  | 229147 | 39577 |
| Total taxable distributions  | $27171385 | $6980381 |

#### Note 5 — Investment Transactions
For six months ended September 30, 2025, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $146,880,740 and $102,370,300, respectively.

#### Note 6 — Redemption Fee
The Fund may impose a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.25% of the total redemption amount on Class A Shares redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase. For six months ended September 30, 2025, the Fund received $0 in deferred sales charges.

#### Note 7 — Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects any risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

#### Note 8 — Repurchase of Shares
The Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to the Shareholders by conducting quarterly repurchase offers. In each repurchase offer, the Fund may offer to repurchase its Shares at their NAV as determined as of approximately March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, of each year, as applicable (each such date, a "Valuation Date"). Each repurchase offer will be for no less than 5% of the Shares outstanding, but 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 not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund.

If Shareholders tender for repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount for a given repurchase offer, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of Shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding Shares of the Fund on the repurchase request deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if Shareholders tender Shares in an amount exceeding the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the outstanding Shares on the repurchase request deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may

------

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
accept all shares tendered for repurchase by Shareholders who own less than $1,000 worth of Shares and who tender all of their Shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. In addition, the Fund will accept the total number of Shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other qualified retirement plan. It is the Shareholder's obligation to both notify and provide the Fund supporting documentation of a required minimum distribution from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan.

The results of the repurchase offers conducted during six months ended September 30, 2025 are as follows:

#### Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
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 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 $41,611,080 are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes the Fund's investments that are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025:

#### Note 12 — 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 over-the-counter ("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

------

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

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
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:

\* 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.

\*\* Amounts relate to master netting agreements and collateral agreements which have been determined by the Investment Adviser to be legally enforceable in the event of default but where certain other criteria are not 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 14 — Credit Agreement
The Fund, as the borrower, has entered into a credit agreement, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), with TriState Capital Bank as the lender. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount up to $12,000,000, which amount may be increased from time to time upon mutual agreement by the parties. The expiration date of the Credit Agreement is March 30, 2026. Effective June 16, 2025 the Fund obtained a temporary increase in the maximum revolving commitment by $20,000,000 (from 5,000,000 to $25,000,000) through and including September 14, 2025, and thereafter set the maximum Revolving Commitment at $12,000,000. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Fund has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various customary covenants, reporting requirements and other requirements including maintaining a loan to value ratio of 3 to 1 at any time. The Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including: (i) the failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due after the applicable grace period; (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Fund; or (iii) a change of management of the Fund. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lender may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Fund's obligations to the lender under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Fund.

For six months ended September 30, 2025, the Fund incurred costs related to the quarterly average daily unused portion of the revolving commitment ("Unused line of credit fees") as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The average interest rate, average daily loan balance, maximum outstanding and amount recorded as interest expense for the 50 days the Fund had outstanding borrowings were 7.220%, $3,316,940, $25,000,000, and $128,649, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had no outstanding principal balance.

#### Note 15 — Control Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a) 9 of the Act. As of September 30, 2025, the Shareholders listed in the table immediately below held, for the benefit of their customers, the following percentages of the outstanding Shares of the Fund:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Beneficial Owner**  | **% of Outstanding <br> Shares of the Fund**  |
| Charles Schwab & Co.  | 74.0% |

---

The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the Shares owned of record are also owned beneficially.

#### Note 16 — Risk Factors
An investment in the Fund involves various risks. The Fund invests in and actively trades 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 and fixed income securities.

#### 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. These types of events and others 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 market 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 to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate in impacted markets. The duration of 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 17 — Events Subsequent to the Period End
In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> FUND INFORMATION <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)

#### Board Consideration of Sub-Advisory Agreements
At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" and members thereof, the "Trustees") held on June 4 – 5, 2025 (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 (i) the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement between First Trust Capital Management L.P. (the "Investment Manager"), Mount Logan Management, LLC ("Mount Logan") and the Fund (the "Mt. Logan Agreement") and (ii) an amended and restated investment sub-advisory agreement among the Investment Manager, Palmer Square Capital Management, LLC ("Palmer Square" and together with Mount Logan, the "Sub-Advisers") and the Fund (the "Palmer Square Agreement" and together with the Mt. Logan Agreement, the "Sub-Advisory Agreements").

In advance of the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and received materials from the Advisers to assist them in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. 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 either Sub-Advisory 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 Manager. 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 Advisory Agreements.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Sub-Advisers to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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 Sub-Advisers 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 Sub-Advisers who provide the investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Sub-Advisers' 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 Sub-Advisers' compliance policies and procedures, including those used by the Investment Manager 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 Sub-Advisers with respect to the Fund, noting that the Sub-Advisers also act as investment adviser to certain funds with a similar investment objective and strategy. The Board further considered the Fund's performance against a relevant index, and noted that the Fund outperformed the index for the one-year period ended March 31, 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 sub-advisory fee rate and total net expense ratio of the Fund, noting that the Investment Manager pays the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Board compared the sub-advisory fees and total net expense ratio for the Fund with various comparative data, including the

------

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

#### First Trust Private Credit Fund <br> FUND INFORMATION — Continued <br> September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
fees paid by comparable sub-advisory clients of the Sub-Advisers. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees payable to each Sub-Adviser and total net expense ratio were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided by the Sub-Advisers.

BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board reviewed the structure of the advisory fees under the investment management agreement and the fees paid by the Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, neither of which included breakpoints. It took into account the Investment Manager's and Sub-Advisers' assertions that that breakpoints were not necessary at current asset levels, but it would re-evaluate as assets grew. The Board considered the Fund's advisory fees and the fees paid by the Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers and concluded that such fees were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided.

PROFITABILITY OF SUB-ADVISERS

The Board considered and reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Fund. The Board also reviewed the Investment Manager's and Sub-Advisers' financial condition and noted that each appeared stable. The Board determined that the advisory and sub-advisory fees and the compensation to the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers were reasonable and the financial condition of each was adequate.

ANCILLARY BENEFITS AND OTHER FACTORS

The Board also discussed other benefits to be received by the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers 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 Manager and/or Sub-Advisers in the future. The Board noted that the Investment Manager is an affiliate of the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor") and that the Distributor receives certain fees for its role as distributor and for other services related to the Fund that are paid by the Investment Manager. The Board further noted that the Sub-Advisers were not affiliated with the Distributor and did not derive any benefit from the Distributor's relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that a registered investment adviser affiliated with the Investment Manager receives additional management fees for assets held in the Fund by the affiliate registered investment adviser's clients, noting that the Investment Manager does not participate in the management fees earned by the affiliate registered investment adviser. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisers do not have affiliations with the Fund's transfer agent, fund accountant or custodian, and therefore, do not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have 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 would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

**Conflicts of Interest**

The Investment Adviser, the Sub-Advisers 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, a Sub-Adviser or a 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, a Sub-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 and Sub-Advisers have adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.

The Investment Adviser and Sub-Advisers 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 September 30, 2025.

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.
