CCIF Carlyle Credit Income Fund Insider Trading

Director Basmadjian buys 16,000 CCIF shares at $3.22; stake +74.6% to 37.4K shares amid -58.9% 52-week decline

Lauren Michelle Basmadjian, a CCIF director, purchased 16,000 shares at $3.22 on 2026-03-16, growing her holdings by 74.6% to 37,448 shares and committing $51,520.00 in capital. The stock currently trades at $3.20, down 58.9% from its 52-week high of $7.78 and down 17.5% over the prior 30 days. Her prior trades at CCIF show a mixed track record: two purchases in late 2023 that gained 0.9% and 1.0% over 30 days respectively (and 2.3% and 1.7% over 90 days), but a June 2025 purchase that declined 10.1% over 30 days and 9.2% over 90 days. This current purchase occurs in a sustained downtrend and will require 90-day observation to assess whether it aligns with her historical timing pattern at this ticker.

Joseph Nelson (PFO, PAO & Treasurer) bought 1,200 shares of CCIF at $4.70 on 2025-12-22, raising holdings to 3,700 shares (+48.0%).

Joseph Nelson purchased 1,200 shares of Carlyle Credit Income Fund at $4.70, a price -42.4% from the 52-week high of $8.06 and near the bottom of the 52-week range. His prior buy at this ticker on 2023-12-21 generated a +0.5% 90-day return, establishing a pattern of timing his CCIF purchases profitably over the longer horizon. However, the current market backdrop is materially weaker: the stock has declined 19.0% over the past 90 days and 7.6% over the past 30 days, creating pressure on near-term returns despite the insider's historical ability to capture gains at this holding. His cross-ticker track record shows 100% 90-day win rate across 2 prior buys, but that cross-ticker success does not guarantee similar performance at CCIF in the current environment.

Director Basmadjian purchases 7,898 shares of CCIF at $6.33 for $49,994.34; holdings increase 58.3% to 21,448 shares amid cluster buy pattern.

Basmadjian Lauren Michelle, a director, purchased 7,898 shares of Carlyle Credit Income Fund on 2025-06-27 at $6.33 per share, a transaction totaling $49,994.34, expanding her position by 58.3% to 21,448 shares post-transaction. Her prior two trades at this ticker (both buys on 2023-12-18 and 2023-12-19) subsequently returned +1.0% and +0.9% over 30 days and +1.7% and +2.3% over 90 days respectively, both showing positive outcomes. Additionally, two other insiders bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern. The stock is currently trading at $6.46, off 26.2% from its 52-week high of $8.75, and has declined 6.8% over the past 90 days, providing context for the timing of this accumulation.

Director McCabe buys 15,822 shares of CCIF at $6.32; stock now $6.48, down 25.9% from 52-week high. Cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days.

Joan Y McCabe, a Director, purchased 15,822 shares at $6.32, expanding her holdings by 52.1% to 46,180 shares post-transaction. This purchase occurs within a broader cluster pattern, with 2 other insiders also buying CCIF within the past 14 days. However, McCabe's track record at this ticker shows a stark pattern: across 3 prior CCIF purchases (on 2024-12-18, 2024-06-21, and 2023-10-25), none were well-timed against 90-day price movement, with an average 90-day return of -1.8% after those buys. More broadly, her cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market buys with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day horizon and an average 90-day return of -1.7%, suggesting a pattern of purchases that have not been followed by favorable price appreciation. While the coordinated insider activity across multiple directors may signal interest in the fund's value, the timing history provides limited confidence in near-term price recovery.

CCIF President Mehta Nishil doubles holdings with 16,650 share purchase at $6.02, expanding stake 103.4% amid 29.1% decline from 52-week high

Mehta Nishil, as President and CEO of the fund operator, purchased 16,650 shares of Carlyle Credit Income Fund at $6.02 on 2025-06-24, nearly doubling his ownership stake from 16,104 to 32,754 shares. The transaction occurred as the fund trades 29.1% below its 52-week high of $8.75 and has declined 14.4% over the past 90 days. His prior buy at this same ticker on 2023-10-30 was followed by a 90-day return of +2.1%, consistent with his broader cross-ticker track record of 100% win rate on prior buys at the 90-day horizon. The substantial doubling of holdings at a depressed price level represents his most material position increase on record.

Director Sanjeev Handa bought 4,387 shares of CCIF at $7.98; prior same-ticker buy showed 90-day underperformance.

Director Sanjeev Handa purchased 4,387 shares at $7.98 on 2024-12-19, increasing his holdings by 73.1% from 6,000 to 10,387 shares. His prior purchase at the same ticker on 2023-10-17 produced a 90-day return of -1.0%, indicating the stock declined after that insider buy. The current price of $7.95 sits 9.1% below the 52-week high and has declined 4.2% over the past 30 days, placing the transaction in a downtrend context. The timing pattern across his open-market buy history shows 0 of 1 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting a track record of purchases that did not precede gains.

Director McCabe bought 18,079 shares of CCIF at $8.02 on 2024-12-18; 0 of 2 prior buys at this ticker were well-timed at 90 days.

Joan Y. McCabe, a director, purchased 18,079 shares at $8.02 on 2024-12-18, increasing her stake by 147.2% to 30,358 shares post-transaction. This marks her third buy transaction at CCIF over 14 months. However, her two prior purchases at this ticker—on 2024-06-21 and 2023-10-25—both posted negative 30-day and 90-day returns, with neither exceeding the breakeven threshold at 90 days. Her cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -0.2% and a 0% win rate at 90 days. The stock is currently trading at $7.95, down 9.1% from its 52-week high and 4.2% lower over 30 days, below her purchase price of $8.02. The pattern of repeated buying into declining positions at this ticker and the consistent underperformance of her prior entries merit observation.

Director MCCABE JOAN Y bought 5,950 shares of CCIF at $8.40, doubling position to 12.3K shares post-transaction.

Director MCCABE JOAN Y purchased 5,950 shares at $8.40 on 2024-06-21, increasing her holdings by 94.0% from 6,329 shares to 12,279 shares. The purchase was executed at a price well below the current price of $8.49 and within the 52-week range of $7.48–$8.60. However, her prior buy at this same ticker on 2023-10-25 showed a 90-day return of +0.0%, indicating no price appreciation following that earlier purchase. Across all her open-market transactions, her 90-day win rate stands at 0.00%, suggesting a pattern of poorly-timed purchases relative to subsequent market performance.
