PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE:FSK), or the Company, today announced it has closed its previously announced $150 million issuance of cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock"), purchased by KKR Alternative Assets L.P., a subsidiary of KKR. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance for general corporate purposes, including funding its common stock repurchase program or for debt repayment.

The Convertible Preferred Stock will pay dividends of 5.00% per annum in cash, or, at the Company's option, 7.00% per annum in PIK dividends. After the 5.5-year anniversary of the issue date, the dividend rate will increase annually by 1.00% per annum. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks junior to all existing indebtedness of the Company and senior to the Company's common stock.

The Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time in cash and, after three years, if the then-current 30-day VWAP of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange is equal to or above the conversion price then in effect, the Company may redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock by delivering shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash. The initial conversion price is $18.83 per share (the Company's net asset value per share as of March 31, 2026) and is subject to customary adjustments, including certain anti-dilution protections. At the option of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, after six months, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into the Company's common stock at the conversion price then in effect and, after six years or in the event of certain other events, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemable in cash.

The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders and have the right, voting separately as a single class, to elect two members of the Company's board of directors. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain changes of control.

The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). These securities have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as applicable.
