โ€‹2 Realized and unrealized gains and losses per share in this caption are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not reconcile with the aggregate gains and losses in the Statement of Operations due to share transactions for the period.

โ€‹3 Total return based on per unit net asset value reflects the change in net asset value based on the effects of the performance of the Fund during the period and assumes distributions, if any, were reinvested. Total returns shown exclude the effect of applicable sales charges.

โ€‹4 Calculated at Fund level.

โ€‹5 If distribution and servicing fees of 1.00%, incentive fees of 0.75%, line of credit expenses of 0.55%, and other transaction related expenses of 0.08% had been excluded, the expense ratios would have been decreased by 2.38%, and income ratios increased by 2.38%, for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

โ€‹6 If distribution and servicing fees of 0.96%, incentive fees of 1.54%, line of credit expenses of 0.86%, and other transaction related expenses of 0.11% had been excluded, the expense ratios would have been decreased by 3.47%, and income ratios increased by 3.47%, for the year ended September 30, 2025.

โ€‹7 If distribution and servicing fees of 1.00%, incentive fees of 0.28%, line of credit expenses of 0.12%, and other transaction related expenses of 0.08% had been excluded, the expense ratios would have been decreased by 1.48%, and income ratios increased by 1.48%, for the year ended September 30, 2023.

โ€‹8 If distribution and servicing fees of 1.00%, incentive fees of 1.90%, line of credit expenses of 0.16%, and other transaction related expenses of 0.05% had been excluded, the expense ratios would have been decreased by 3.11%, and income ratios increased by 3.11%, for the year ended September 30, 2022.

โ€‹9 If distribution and servicing fees of 1.06%, incentive fees of 1.61%, line of credit expenses of 0.13%, and other transaction related expenses of 0.06% had been excluded, the expense ratios would have been decreased by 2.86%, and the income ratios increased by 2.86%, for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

The Keystone Private Income Fund (the "Fund") is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund operates under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 26, 2019 (the "Declaration of Trust"). Keystone National Group, LLC serves as the investment adviser (the "Investment Manager") to the Fund. The Investment Manager is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund intends to continue to qualify and has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2020.

The Fund offers five separate classes (each a "Class") of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") designated as Class A, Class D, Class Y, Class I, and Class Z Shares. As used herein, "Shareholders" refers to the holders of Shares of the Fund. Each class of Shares is subject to different fees and expenses. The Fund may offer additional classes of Shares in the future.

The Fund's primary investment objective is to produce current income. The Investment Manager manages the Fund's portfolio with a view toward producing current income, managing liquidity and protecting against downside scenarios. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by opportunistically investing, directly or indirectly, a majority of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a wide range of private credit-oriented or other cash flow producing investments. For purposes of the Fund's strategy, such investments may include corporate loans and credit facilities, equipment leasing transactions, real estate backed loans, corporate and consumer receivables, and other specialty finance opportunities or income-producing assets. The Fund may allocate its assets through a wide range of investment vehicles and structures, including among others as senior debt and also as subordinated debt, preferred equity and common equity investments. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

At a special meeting of the Fund's shareholders held on February 25, 2026, the shareholders approved a new investment management agreement between the Fund and the Investment Manager in light of the anticipated change in control of the Investment Manager with 9,378,571.50 votes for the proposal, 38,861.18 against the proposal and 88,194.89 abstaining. The shareholders also approved an incentive fee payable to the Investment Manager that is based on the net income of the Fund, excluding realized capital gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation with 8,605,264.80 for the proposal, 765,281.90 against the proposal and 135,080.89 abstaining.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Allocation of Shareholders Capital

The Shares of each Class represent an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and have equal rights as to voting, redemptions, dividends and liquidation, subject to the approval of the Board. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class of Shares in proportion to their relative Shares outstanding. Shareholders of a Class that bears distribution and service expenses under the terms of a distribution plan have exclusive voting rights with respect to that distribution plan.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

The Fund's investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are determined using the specific identification method for financial reporting. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and prepayment fees are recognized as interest income when received. Interest income is discontinued and loans are placed in nonaccrual status if collection of the interest is considered doubtful. Interest receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Some or all of the interest payments of a loan or preferred equity may be structured in the form of payment in kind ("PIK"), which accrues on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date. PIK interest is included in the Fund's net asset value and also in determining net investment income for purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee (defined below). PIK interest may be included with cash interest payments or otherwise tailored to address both the specific circumstances of the borrower and the return requirements of the investor. Interest payments structured in the form of PIK are subject to the risk that a borrower could default when actual cash interest or principal payments are due.

Upfront investment income or other payments are sometimes charged to borrowers at the closing of a loan investment transaction. This income is received at the time of closing and then deferred to be recognized as investment income over the term of the loan utilizing the straight-line method, which does not differ materially from the effective interest method under US GAAP. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund recognized upfront investment income of $5,131,604, which is included in investment income in the Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund has $8,522,016 of unearned upfront investment income included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Loans purchased at premium are amortized over the life of loan as Purchase premium on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and interest income on the Statement of Operations.

Cash Escrow

Subscriptions are generally subject to the receipt of cleared funds on or prior to the acceptance date set by the Fund and notified to prospective investors. Pending any closing, funds received from prospective investors will be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account with UMB Bank, n.a., the Fund's escrow agent, and are restricted for use otherwise. On the date of any closing, the balance in the escrow account with respect to each investor whose investment is accepted will be invested in the Fund on behalf of such investor. Any interest earned on escrowed amounts will be credited to the Fund for the benefit of all Shareholders.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a "RIC" under Subchapter M of the Code. As so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to Shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund that did not meet the "more likely than not" standard as of March 31, 2026.

Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund accrues and pays distributions monthly to its Shareholders of the net investment income of the Fund after payment of Fund operating expenses. The dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time. To the extent that any portion of the Fund's monthly distributions are considered a return of capital to Shareholders, such portion would not be considered dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and would represent a return of the amounts that such Shareholders invested. Although such return of capital distributions are not currently taxable to Shareholders, such distributions will have the effect of lowering a Shareholder's tax basis in such Shares, and could result in a higher tax liability when the Shares are sold, even if they have not increased in value, or in fact, have lost value. The Fund's final distribution for each tax year is expected to include any remaining investment company

26

Keystone Private Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

taxable income and net tax-exempt income undistributed during the tax year, as well as any undistributed net capital gain realized during the tax year. If the total distributions made in any tax year exceed investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. This distribution policy, may, under certain circumstances, have adverse consequences to the Fund and its Shareholders because it may result in a return of capital resulting in less of a Shareholder's assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund's expense ratio. The distribution policy also may cause the Fund to sell securities at a time it would not otherwise do so to manage the distribution of income and gain.

Valuation of Investments

The Board has approved valuation procedures for the Fund (the "Valuation Procedures"). Under the Valuation Procedures adopted by the Board, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations and pricing to the Investment Manager (the "Valuation Designee") subject to the oversight of the Board. The Valuation Designee oversees the valuation of the Fund's investments on behalf of the Fund in accordance with the Valuation Procedures, which provide that investments will be valued at fair value. Furthermore, the valuation of the Fund's assets will be done in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

In general, fair value represents a good faith approximation of the current value of an asset and is used when there is no public market or possibly no market at all for the asset. As a result, the fair values of one or more assets may not be the prices at which those assets are ultimately sold. Prospective investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the value of investments could have an adverse effect on the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") if the judgments of the Valuation Designee regarding appropriate valuations should prove incorrect.

The Fund holds a high proportion of illiquid investments relative to its total investments, which is directly related to the Fund's investment objectives and strategy. The valuation approach will likely vary by investment, but may include comparable public market valuations, comparable transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment (i.e., underlying collateral, operating results, financial condition, achievement of milestones, and economic and/or market events) may be considered. In certain circumstances the Valuation Designee may determine that cost best approximates the fair value of the particular investment.

Real Estate Owned Investments

The Fund may acquire assets through foreclosure of collateral securing a non-performing loan ("Real Estate Owned" or "REO"). REO is initially recorded at fair value. Operating costs incurred after acquisition are expensed as incurred.

The estimated fair value of foreclosed assets is determined by the Valuation Designee, consistent with the Valuation Procedures.

Upon disposition, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the net sales proceeds, less transaction costs, compared to the Fund's investment in the loan, including any unpaid accrued interest receivable. The difference between the cost basis of an REO and its estimated fair value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss, with changes recognized in the Statement of Operations for the period.

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund held REO with an estimated fair value of $26,750,000.

Foreclosed Assets

The Fund may acquire assets through foreclosure of collateral securing a non-performing loan ("Foreclosed Assets"). Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value. Operating costs incurred after acquisition are expensed as incurred.

The estimated fair value of foreclosed assets is determined by the Valuation Designee, consistent with the Valuation Procedures.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Upon disposition, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the net sales proceeds, less transaction costs, compared to the Fund's investment in the loan, including any unpaid accrued interest receivable. The difference between the cost basis of a Foreclosed Asset and its estimated fair value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss, with changes recognized in the Statement of Operations for the period.

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund held $6,441,030 in foreclosed assets.

Repurchase Offers

The Fund provides some liquidity to Shareholders by making quarterly offers to repurchase a certain percentage of its outstanding Shares at NAV. The decision to offer to repurchase Shares is in the complete and absolute discretion of the Board and the Board may, under certain circumstances, elect not to offer to repurchase Shares. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund's Shareholders and generally are funded from available cash. However, the repurchase of Shares by the Fund decreases the assets of the Fund and, therefore, may have the effect of increasing the Fund's expense ratio. Repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may also affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund's investment performance.

Borrowing, Use of Leverage

The Fund may employ leverage through a secured Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended (the "Revolving Loan Agreement") to achieve its investment objective. The Fund's willingness to use leverage, and the extent to which leverage is used at any time, will depend on many factors, including the Investment Manager's assessment of the yield curve environment (the relationship between yields and time to maturity), interest rate trends, market conditions and other factors. Borrowings by the Fund will further diminish returns (or increase losses on capital) to the extent overall returns are less than the Fund's cost of funds. Such debt exposes the Fund to refinancing, recourse and other risks. As a general matter, the presence of leverage can accelerate losses. Subject to prevailing market conditions, the Fund may add financial leverage if, immediately after such borrowing, it would have asset coverage (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of 300% or more (in the event leverage is obtained solely through debt) or 200% or more (in the event leverage is obtained solely though preferred stock). The Fund may use leverage opportunistically and may choose to increase or decrease its leverage, or use different types or combinations of leveraging instruments, at any time based on the Fund's assessment of market conditions and the investment environment. The Investment Manager expects that the Fund's borrowings may ultimately be secured with a security interest in Fund investments. In times of adverse market conditions, the Fund may be required to post additional collateral which could affect the Fund's liquidity.

As of March 31, 2026, the Revolving Loan Agreement has maximum credit available of $400,000,000 with a maturity date of August 2, 2027. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the average balance outstanding and weighted average interest rate were $132,087,912 and 6.82%, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred and paid interest expense of $5,074,767 and $5,426,050, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund has an outstanding line of credit balance of $125,000,000 at a 6.54% (SOFR +2.75%) interest rate. The maximum the Fund borrowed during the six months ended March 31, 2026 was $200,000,000 on October 31, 2025.

Participations

The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in participation interests or special purpose vehicles holding various credit investments. The special risks associated with these obligations include adverse consequences resulting from participating in such instruments with other institutions with lower credit quality and limitations on the ability of the Fund to directly enforce its rights with respect to participations. The Fund may acquire interests in such credit investments either directly (by way of sale or assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a contracting party under the credit arrangement with respect to the obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution. Participation interests in a portion of a credit arrangement typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest and not directly with the counterparty. In purchasing participations, the Fund may have no right to enforce compliance by the counterparty with the terms of the credit agreement, and the Fund may not

28

Keystone Private Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

directly benefit from the collateral supporting the credit obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, if the Fund were to hold a participation, it would assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Fund. As of March 31, 2026, the total value of investments that are a participation is $47,785,077.

Commitments

The Fund's investment portfolio contains debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require the Fund to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. The Investment Manager has the right to reject delayed draw requests if the criteria within the agreements are not met.

Cash

Cash held for Propel Holdings, Inc. is used to purchase loans on behalf of the Fund.

Segment Reporting

In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Fund's President and Principal Executive Officer acts as the Fund's CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as "total assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

3. Principal Risks

Limited Liquidity

Shares in the Fund provide limited liquidity since Shareholders will not be able to redeem Shares on a daily basis. A Shareholder may not be able to tender its Shares in the Fund promptly after it has made a decision to do so. In addition, with very limited exceptions, Shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made quarterly by the Fund. Shares in the Fund are therefore suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares and should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Investment Manager Incentive Fee Risk

Any Incentive Fee (defined below) payable by the Fund that relates to its net investment income may be computed and paid on income that may include interest, including PIK interest, that has been accrued or are unrealized, but not yet received or realized. The Investment Manager is not under any obligation to reimburse the Fund for any part of the Incentive Fee it received that was based on accrued income that the Fund never received or realized, and such circumstances would result in the Fund's paying an Incentive Fee on income it never received. Prior to March 1, 2026 the Incentive Fee was based on the Fund's net profits instead of net income excluding realized capital gains or losses or

29

Keystone Private Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (continued)

3. Principal Risks (continued)

unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Incentive Fee payable by the Fund to the Investment Manager may create an incentive for it to make investments on the Fund's behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which the Incentive Fee payable to the Investment Manager is determined may encourage it to use leverage to increase the return on the Fund's investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor Shareholders. Such a practice could result in the Fund's investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be in its best interests, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during cyclical economic downturns.

Private Credit

Private credit is a common term for unregistered debt investments made through privately negotiated transactions. Private credit investments may be structured using a range of financial instruments, including without limitation first and second lien senior secured loans, subordinated or unsecured debt and preferred equity arrangements. From time to time these investments might include equity features such as warrants, options, or common stock depending on the strategy of the investor and the financing requirements of the company or asset.

Loans to private companies, businesses and operators can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the collateral that secures the investment, variability in the issuer's cash flows, the size of the issuer, the quality of collateral securing debt and the degree to which such collateral covers the accompanying debt obligations. The businesses in which the Fund invests may be levered, and the investments made by the Fund will generally not be rated by national credit rating agencies. The loans in which the Fund will invest may be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as "junk," have predominantly speculative characteristics and may carry a greater risk with respect to a borrower's capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

Certain local, regional or global events such as war (including in Europe and the Middle East), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and others like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate in impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Fund's performance, the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks on the financial performance of the Fund's investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

Recently, the United States has enacted or proposed to enact significant new tariffs, and various federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy, which could potentially lead to significant changes to current policies, treaties, and tariffs. There continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global trade, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S.; global financial markets' stability; and global economic conditions. These events could, in turn, adversely affect the Fund's overall performance.

Banking Risk

The impairment or failure of one or more banks with whom the Fund transacts may inhibit the Fund's ability to access depository accounts. In the event of such a failure of a banking institution where the Fund holds depository accounts, access to such accounts could be restricted and U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") protection may not be available for balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC. In such instances, the Fund may not recover such excess, uninsured amounts.

4. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (the "Investment Management Agreement") with the Investment Manager. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager is entitled to a fee consisting of two components - a base management fee (the "Investment Management Fee") and an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee"). The Investment Management Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.50% of the month-end value of the Fund's net assets before management fees for the current month. The Investment Management Fee is paid out of the Fund's assets. Such fees are paid to the Investment Manager before giving effect to any repurchase of Shares effective as of that date and decreases the net income or increases the net losses of the Fund that are credited to its Shareholders.

Effective March 1, 2026 the Incentive Fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears based upon the Fund's net profits (the "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income") for the immediately preceding month, and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund's net assets equal to 0.58333333% per month (or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.00%), subject to a "catch-up" feature. Prior to March 1, 2026 the Incentive Fee was based on the Fund's net profits instead of net income excluding realized capital gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Prior to January 1, 2021, the Incentive Fee was calculated quarterly. The Incentive Fee is equal to 15.0% of the excess, if any, of (i) the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income of the Fund for the relevant period over (ii) the then balance, if any, of the Loss Recovery Account. For the purposes of the Incentive Fee, the term "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means the amount by which the NAV of the Fund on the last day of the relevant period exceeds the NAV of the Fund as of the commencement of the same period, including any interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Fund received from its underlying investments but excluding any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses) minus the Fund's operating expenses for the month. The Fund will maintain a memorandum account (the "Loss Recovery Account"), which has an initial balance of zero and will be (i) increased upon the close of each calendar month end of the Fund by the amount of the net losses of the Fund for the month, and (ii) decreased (but not below zero) upon the close of each calendar month end by the amount of the net profits of the Fund for the month. Shareholders will benefit from the Loss Recovery Account in proportion to their holdings of Shares. The "catch-up" provision is intended to provide the Investment Manager with an incentive fee of 15.00% on all of the Fund's net profits when the Fund's net profits reach 0.68627451% of net assets in any calendar month (8.24% annualized). For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred $13,659,246 in Incentive Fees.

The Investment Manager has entered into an incentive fee cap agreement (the "Incentive Fee Cap Agreement") with the Fund, pursuant to which the Incentive Fee payable to the Investment Manager shall be limited such that the Fund will not pay a higher Incentive Fee than would have been payable under the previous methodology for calculating the incentive fee (as described above), until March 1, 2028. The Investment Manager may elect to extend the Incentive Fee Cap Agreement.

The Investment Manager has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the "Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement") with the Fund, whereby the Investment Manager has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise have been paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a "Waiver"), if required to ensure the Total Annual Expenses (including the Investment Management Fee, but excluding taxes, interest expense, sales charges and other brokerage commissions, other transaction related expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, Incentive Fees, Distribution and Servicing Fees, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses) does not exceed 3.00% of the Fund's net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limit"). Because taxes, interest expense, sales charges and other brokerage commissions, other transaction related expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, Incentive Fees, Distribution and Servicing Fees, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the Expense Limit, Total Annual Expenses (after fee waivers and expense reimbursements) may exceed 3.00% of the average daily net assets of each Class of Shares.

For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Investment Manager may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided they are able to effect such recoupment without causing the Fund's expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (i) the expense limit in effect at the time of the Waiver and (ii) the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement had an initial one-year term, which will end on February 29, 2028, and will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms thereafter. Either the Fund or the Investment Manager may terminate the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement

Agreement upon 30 days' written notice. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Investment Manager did not waive any fees or reimburse any expenses. As of March 31, 2026, there were no recoverable reimbursed expenses to the Investment Manager.

PINE Distributors LLC serves as the Fund's placement agent (the "Placement Agent"). For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund's allocated Placement Agent fees are reported as Distribution and Servicing fees on the Statement of Operations.

UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS") serves as the Fund's fund accountant and administrator. Ultimus Fund Solutions LLC ("Ultimus") serves as the Fund's transfer agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund's allocated UMBFS and Ultimus fees are reported as Fund service fees on the Statement of Operations.

A Trustee and certain officers of the Fund are employees of the Investment Manager. The Fund does not compensate Trustees and officers affiliated with the Investment Manager. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund's allocated fees incurred for Trustees who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager are reported on the Statement of Operations.

PINE Advisor Solutions LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Fund. Fund's allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended March 31, 2026 are reported on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to Class A Shares, Class D Shares, Class Y Shares and Class I Shares in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund may pay as compensation up to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class A Shares, up to 0.90% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class D Shares, up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class Y Shares, and up to 0.15% on an annualized basis of the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to Class I Shares (the "Distribution and Servicing Fee") to the Fund's Placement Agent or other qualified recipients under the Distribution and Service Plan. For purposes of determining the Distribution and Servicing Fee, NAV will be calculated prior to any reduction for any fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the Distribution and Servicing Fee payable. Therefore, it is possible the Distribution and Servicing Fee rate on the Financial Highlights may show a rate above the contractual limit. Class Z Shares are not subject to the Distribution and Service Plan.

5. Fair Value of Investments

Fair value - Definition

The Fund uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

โ€ข Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

โ€ข Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

โ€ข Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are both significant and unobservable to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that

32

5. Fair Value of Investments (continued)

valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Investment Manager in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.

The Fund's assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based on a fair value hierarchy as described in the Fund's significant accounting policies. The following table presents information about the Fund's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026:

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (continued)

6. Capital Stock

The minimum initial investment in Class A Shares and Class Y Shares by any investor is $50,000, the minimum initial investment in Class D Shares and Class I Shares by any investor is $5,000,000, and the minimum initial investment by any investor in Class Z Shares is $10,000,000. However, the Fund, in its sole discretion, may accept investments in any Class of Shares below these minimums. Shares may be purchased by principals and employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates and their immediate family members without being subject to the minimum investment requirements. Class Y and Class D Shares were issued at $100.00 per share and Class A, Class I, and Class Z Shares were issued at $100.53 per share.

Class A Shares and Class D Shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 3.50%. No sales charge is expected to be charged with respect to investments by the Investment Manager or its affiliates, and their respective directors, principals, officers and employees in the Investment Manager's sole discretion. The full amount of the sales charge may be reallowed to brokers or dealers participating in the offering. Your financial intermediary may impose additional charges when you purchase Shares of the Fund. Neither Class I, Class Y nor Class Z Shares are subject to any sales charge.

Because the Fund is a closed-end fund, and Shareholders do not have the right to require the Fund to redeem Shares, the Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders, in order to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Shares, the Board will consider a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Investment Manager expects to ordinarily recommend that the Board authorize the Fund to offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders quarterly with March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 valuation dates (or, if any such date is not a business day, on the last business day of such calendar quarter).

If the interval between the date of purchase of Shares and the valuation date with respect to the repurchase of such Shares is less than 365 calendar days, then such repurchase will be subject to a 2.00% early repurchase fee payable to the Fund. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early repurchase fee, the Fund will repurchase that portion of the Shares held the longest first. Early repurchase fees, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, there were no early repurchase fees.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund's capital stock transactions are reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. Federal Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2026, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes, were as follows:

Gross unrealized depreciation

(56,176,069

)

The difference in the amount of distributions against the Statements of Changes in Net Assets relates to the timing of certain distributions being reported on a cash basis for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2025, there were $30,999,273 of distributions payable that will be considered paid in the tax year ending September 30, 2026 for tax purposes.

8. Investment Transactions

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, purchases, excluding short-term investments were $568,415,936, purchases including PIK interest income purchases added to principal amount of investment were $7,760,758, and sales of investments, including principal reductions received, excluding short-term investments, were $464,988,938.

9. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements.

Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreement

At a meeting of the Board held on December 2, 2025 (the "December Meeting"), by a unanimous vote, the Board, including a majority of Trustees who are not "interested persons" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"), approved (i) the continuation of the then effective amended and restated Investment Management Agreement (the "Prior Investment Management Agreement") between the Investment Manager and the Fund. At a meeting of the Board of the Fund held on January 6, 2026 (the "January Meeting") in connection with the acquisition of a majority equity interest in the Investment Manager by Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (the "Transaction"), by a unanimous vote, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved (i) an interim Investment Management Agreement (the "Interim Investment Management Agreement") between the Investment Manager and the Fund to potentially be utilized in connection with the Transaction and (ii) a new Investment Management Agreement (the "New Investment Management Agreement") between the Investment Manager and the Fund to be effective upon the closing of the Transaction. The Prior Investment Management Agreement, the Interim Investment Management Agreement and the New Investment Management Agreement are referred to collectively as the "Investment Management Agreements." The terms of the Investment Management Agreements are materially identical in substance except with respect to the incentive fee payable to the Investment Manager, as described below.

In advance of the December Meeting and the January Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and received materials from the Investment Manager to assist them in considering the approvals of the Investment Management Agreements. At the December Meeting and the January Meeting, the Independent Trustees reviewed reports from third parties and Fund management about the factors described below. The Board members engaged in detailed discussion of the materials with management of the Investment Manager. The Independent Trustees also met separately with independent counsel to the Independent Trustees for further review of the materials at the December Meeting and the January Meeting. In each case, following such sessions, the full Board reconvened and, after further discussion, determined that the information presented provided a sufficient basis upon which to approve the Prior Investment Management Agreement, in the case of the December Meeting, and the Interim Investment Management Agreement and New Investment Management Agreement, inclusive and exclusive of the income-only incentive fee calculation methodology. in the case of the January Meeting.

The Board did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to approve the Investment Management Agreements, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered. Nor are the items described herein all-encompassing of the matters considered by the Board.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreements, including the selection of Fund investments. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other things, providing office facilities, equipment and personnel. The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers and other key personnel of the Investment Manager who provided the investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, and that they would not change in connection with the Transaction and adoption of the New Investment Management Agreement. The Board determined

36

Keystone Private Income Fund

Other Information

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) (continued)

that the Investment Manager's portfolio managers and key personnel were well-qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services for the Fund in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also took into account the Investment Manager's compliance policies and procedures, including the procedures used to determine the value of the Fund's investments. The Board concluded that the overall quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund was satisfactory.

PERFORMANCE

The Board considered the investment performance of the Investment Manager with respect to the Fund, noting that the Fund had generated a net internal rate of return within its historical range of rates of other private funds with a similar investment mandate under the management of the Investment Manager. The Board considered the performance of the Fund for the period from the Fund's inception on July 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025 and various other periods. The Board also considered performance information of the Fund compared to other comparable peer funds for various periods ended June 30, 2025 and noted that the Fund outperformed all of its credit investment strategies fund peers ("Fund Peers") over the one- and three-year periods and outperformed nine out of 10 of its business development company peers ("BDC Peers") over the one-year period, and four out of 10 of its BDC Peers over the three-year period. In addition, the Board considered the Investment Manager's view that there was no representative benchmark index given the unique private assets held by the Fund. The Board considered the overall performance of the Fund and concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreements, the Investment Manager is entitled to a fee consisting of two components - a base management fee and an incentive fee. Under the Prior Investment Management Agreement, the incentive fee was calculated and payable monthly in arrears based upon the Fund's net profits for the immediately preceding month, and was subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund's net assets equal to 0.58333333% per month (or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.00%), subject to a "catch-up" feature. Under the currently effective New Investment Management Agreement, as approved by shareholders, the basis for the incentive fee is the Fund's net income, which excludes realized capital gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The currently effective incentive fee is calculated and payable monthly in arrears based upon the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding month, subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Fund's net assets equal to 0.58333333% per month (or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.00%), subject to a "catch-up" feature.

The Board considered the investment management and incentive fees and total expenses of the Fund under the Prior Investment Management Agreement and as compared to the investment management and incentive fees under the New Investment Management Agreement, inclusive of the income-only incentive fee. The Board reviewed the advisory fee rate and total expense ratio of the Fund and considered that the investment management fees were comparable to the fees payable by other private funds. The Board also compared the advisory fee and total expense ratio for the Fund with various comparative data, including reports on the expenses of other comparable funds. The Board noted that the Fund's gross advisory fee was in the 20th percentile of its Fund Peers and 44th percentile of its BDC Peers and the Fund's total net expenses were lower than all of its Fund Peers and all of its BDC Peers. The Board also discussed the incentive fee and hurdle rate reflected in each of the Investment Management Agreements and that shifting from a net profits to net income based incentive fee would allow investors that were not "qualified clients" to invest in the Fund, resulting in a larger, potentially more efficient portfolio. In addition, the Board noted that the Investment Manager had contractually agreed to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses and, with respect to the New Investment Management Agreement, the incentive fee. The Board concluded that the advisory fees paid by the Fund were comparable to the fees payable by other comparable funds and that the Fund's total expense ratio was reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided. In so concluding, the Board took into account that while it was possible for the aggregate amount of incentive fees payable to the Investment Manager to increase under the New Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager had agreed for a period of not less than two years from the date of the New Investment Management Agreement to cap the incentive fee earned so that the Fund would not pay a higher incentive fee than it would have paid under the Prior Investment Management Agreement. The Board also determined that the current calculation methodology of the incentive fee was reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided. Further, the Board considered that the investment management fees paid by the Fund would not increase for at least two years from the effective date of the New Investment Management Agreement.

BREAKPOINTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund's investment management and incentive fees under each of the Investment Management Agreements. The Board considered the Fund's investment management fee, inclusive of the hurdle rate. The Board considered the Fund's investment management fees and concluded that the fees were reasonable and satisfactory in light of the services provided. The Board also determined that, given the Fund's current size, economies of scale were not present at that time.

PROFITABILITY OF INVESTMENT MANAGER

The Board considered that the Investment Manager did not assess its profitability on a fund or account basis and reviewed the Investment Manager's financial condition. The Board noted that the financial condition of the Investment Manager appeared stable. The Board determined that the advisory fees and the compensation to the Investment Manager were reasonable and the Investment Manager's financial condition was adequate.

ANCILLARY BENEFITS AND OTHER FACTORS

The Board also discussed other benefits to be received by the Investment Manager from its management of the Fund including, without limitation, the ability to market its advisory services for similar products in the future. The Board noted that the Investment Manager did not have affiliations with the Fund's transfer agent, fund accountant, custodian or distributor and, therefore, the Investment Manager did not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fees under each of the Investment Management Agreements were reasonable in light of the fall-out benefits.

GENERAL CONCLUSION

Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material, and assisted by the advice of its counsel, the Board concluded, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement, that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Prior Investment Management Agreement and the adoption of the Interim Investment Management Agreement if necessary in connection with the Transaction, and that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Investment Management Agreement inclusive of the income-only incentive fee.
