What Happened
AB Private Lending Fund filed an 8‑K on September 21, 2026 disclosing (1) an unregistered sale of Class I common shares to feeder vehicles (exempt under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S), (2) a declared September 2026 distribution for Class I shares, and (3) the Fund’s net asset value and offering status as of August 31, 2026. A small unregistered sale was recorded as of September 1, 2026 (finalized September 21, 2026). The Fund also reported aggregate portfolio and balance sheet figures and reiterated its ongoing public Offering (up to $1.0 billion).

• Private Offering totals (as of filing): 6,780,562 Class I shares issued for $170,083,309.38 (combined Offering and Private Offering amount).
• Distribution declared (Sept. 21, 2026): Class I gross distribution $0.20 per share (net $0.20); record date Sept. 30, 2026; pay date on/about Oct. 30, 2026; cash or reinvestment available. Class S and D: N/A.
• Fund financial snapshot (as of Aug. 31, 2026): NAV per Class I share $24.64; aggregate NAV ≈ $164.4 million; investment portfolio fair value ≈ $376.2 million; debt outstanding ≈ $213.8 million (principal).

Why It Matters
These disclosures affect holders and prospective investors by showing current NAV, portfolio size, leverage and announced cash distribution for Class I shares. The unregistered share sales and the Fund’s continued Offering (up to $1.0B) indicate ongoing capital-raising activity; the Sept. distribution provides immediate cash or reinvestment options for shareholders. Investors should note the Fund’s leverage level (debt vs. portfolio fair value) and the record/pay dates if they want the declared distribution.
