This Final Amendment relates to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "<u>Statement</u>") originally filed on May 20, 2026 by Ares Core Infrastructure Fund (the "<u>Fund</u>") in connection with an offer by the Fund (the "<u>Offer</u>") to purchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares of beneficial interest (including Class I common shares of beneficial interest, Class D common shares of beneficial interest, Class N common shares of beneficial interest and Class S common shares of beneficial interest, collectively, the "<u>Shares</u>") as of April 30, 2026, at a price equal to the net asset value per Share of the applicable Class as of May 31, 2026 (the "<u>Valuation Date</u>"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) to the Statement (the "<u>Offer to Purchase</u>"). As described in the Offer to Purchase, the Fund reserved the right in its sole discretion to purchase additional outstanding Shares representing up to 2.0% of the Fund's outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer as permitted by Rule 13e-4(f)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

This is the Final Amendment to the Statement and is being filed to report the results of the Offer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(4):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Offer expired at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 18, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. 199,367 Shares of the Fund were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.
The Fund accepted for purchase 100% of the Shares of the Fund that were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of
the Offer as permitted by Rule 13e-4(f)(1).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The aggregate net asset value of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer was calculated as of the Valuation
Date in the amount of $4,970,126.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The payment of the purchase price of the Shares
tendered was made in the form of cash to the Shareholders whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the
terms of the Offer. Pursuant to the Offer, the Fund paid on or about June 26, 2026 to the tendering Shareholders a total of $4,912,299.50,
representing the net asset value of the total amount of the Shares tendered by Shareholders, less the early repurchase deduction, as applicable.
The Shares were repurchased at a price of $24.93 per Share, which was the net asset value per Share of the applicable class as of the
Valuation Date, less the early repurchase deduction, as applicable.

Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Statement, as amended, and the Transmittal Letter remains unchanged and this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Statement, as amended, or the Transmittal Letter.
