Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
From April 28, 2017 through June 1, 2017, Carey Credit Income Fund (the “Master Fund”) issued a total of 372,745 common shares (“Shares”) for an aggregate offering price of $3,187,100 to Carey Credit Income Fund - I ("CCIF-I"), pursuant to subscription agreements entered into between the Master Fund and CCIF-I, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The issuance of Shares from April 28, 2017 through June 1, 2017 resulted in an increase in the number of Shares outstanding of more than 1% compared to the number of Master Fund Shares reported outstanding as of April 27, 2017 on the Master Fund's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2017.
As of June 1, 2017, the Master Fund had issued a total of 22,844,378 Shares to the Feeder Funds, and the Master Fund had a total of 28,399,934 Shares outstanding.
The above issuances of Shares are exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, each a “Private Offering” and collectively the “Private Offerings.” These Shares qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by the Master Fund did not involve a public offering. The Private Offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the Private Offerings, manner of the Private Offerings and number of Shares offered. The Master Fund did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of Shares to a high number of shareholders. Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Master Fund has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for these transactions.
