Franklin BSP Capital Corp (FRBP) issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% notes due 2029 in a private offering that closed October 30, 2026. The notes were issued at 99.355% of par; net proceeds were approximately $294.7 million after the initial purchaser discount and estimated offering expenses. The company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness that may include certain credit facilities.
The notes are general unsecured obligations, mature October 30, 2029, and bear interest at 7.250% per year, payable semi-annually on April 30 and October 30 beginning April 30, 2027. They rank pari passu with unsecured unsubordinated debt, senior to expressly subordinated debt, effectively junior to secured debt to the extent of collateral value, and structurally junior to debt, including trade payables, of subsidiaries, financing vehicles and similar facilities. A Change of Control Repurchase Event generally requires an offer at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The company must file an exchange-offer registration statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to have it declared effective; if it cannot effect the exchange offer, it must file a shelf registration statement covering resale of the notes. Failure to satisfy registration obligations by specified dates requires additional interest.
