gaap financial

"actual GAAP net investment income for the quarter remains subject"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

regulated investment company regulatory

"in connection with the Company's maintenance of its treatment as a regulated investment company"

A regulated investment company is a type of pooled investment (like a mutual fund or ETF) that meets specific tax-law rules allowing it to pass most income, gains and losses directly to shareholders instead of being taxed at the company level. For investors this matters because it affects how distributions are taxed, how often income is paid, and the overall net return—think of it like a collective account that funnels earnings straight to owners rather than keeping profits inside a separate corporate layer.

form 1099-div regulatory

"reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV"

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.

bdc financial

"a leading publicly traded business development company (BDC)"

A business development company (BDC) is a publicly traded investment firm that lends to and takes ownership stakes in small- and mid-sized private companies that often can’t get traditional bank loans. Like a neighborhood lending pool or venture backer you can buy shares in, a BDC can offer higher dividend income but also carries greater credit and economic risk, so investors focus on the quality of its loans, portfolio companies and payout sustainability.

PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK) ("FSK" or the "Company") announced today that its board of directors has declared (i) a fourth quarter 2026 distribution on shares of the Company's common stock of $0.44 per share and (ii) a special distribution on shares of the Company's common stock of $0.20 per share, which represents a portion of the Company's estimated undistributed taxable income. FSK also announced that it will host its third quarter 2026 results conference call via live webcast on Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) and that the Company plans to release its third quarter 2026 results before the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Declaration of Fourth Quarter 2026 Common Stock Distribution

The Company's regular quarterly distribution is based on management's current estimates and expectations regarding the Company's financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The Company's actual GAAP net investment income for the quarter remains subject to the completion of customary quarter-end closing procedures and the finalization of its financial statements and, as a result, actual GAAP net investment income may differ from current expectations. Accordingly, the declared distribution should not be viewed as a projection, forecast or guarantee of the Company's financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Certain Information About Distributions

The determination of the tax attributes of FSK's distributions is made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. FSK intends to update stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

The timing and amount of any future distributions on FSK's shares of common stock are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of its board of directors. There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

FSK may fund its distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, proceeds from the sale of shares of FSK's common stock and borrowings. FSK has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. In addition, portions of our distributions may be funded indirectly through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by our investment adviser. Any distributions funded through waivers of investment advisory fees will not be based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our investment adviser and its affiliates continue to make such reimbursements or waivers of such fees. There can be no assurance that FSK will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.
