EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Amendment") is being filed by AB Private Lending Fund (the "Fund") to amend Item 8.01 - Other Events of that certain Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed by the Fund with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2026 (the "Original Form 8-K"). This Amendment is being filed to correct the net asset value per share of the Fund's Class I shares included in Item 8.01 of the Original Form 8-K from $25.00 to $24.66. The disclosure of the net asset value per share of the Fund's Class I Shares in the Original Form 8-K reflected a scrivener's error. Other than correction of the net asset value per share of the Fund's Class I shares, no other changes to the Original Form 8-K are made by this Amendment.

Item 8.01 - Other Events.

Net Asset Value

The net asset value ("NAV") per share of each class of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, as determined in accordance with the Fund's valuation policy, is set forth below.

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund's aggregate NAV was approximately $166.9 million, the fair value of its investment portfolio was approximately $370.1 million, and it had approximately $215.3 million of debt outstanding (at principal).

Status of Offering

The Fund is currently publicly offering on a continuous basis up to $1.0 billion in common shares of beneficial interest (such shares, the "Shares" and such offering, the "Offering"). Additionally, the Fund has sold unregistered Class I shares as part of the Private Offering. The following table lists the Shares issued and total consideration for both the Offering and the Private Offering as of the date of this filing, reflective of transfers between share classes. The table below does not include Shares sold through the Fund's distribution reinvestment plan. The Fund intends to continue selling Shares in the Offering and the Private Offering on a monthly basis.
