SueWallSt Reminds FS KKR CAPITAL CORP. Investors of the Pending Class Action Lawsuit With a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of July 6, 2026 - FSKJune 18, 2026 10:07 AM
PR Newswire (US) FSK's Boilerplate Risk Warnings Allegedly Failed to Disclose That Portfolio Valuations Were Already Deteriorating and Non-Accrual Rates Were Climbing Toward Above-Industry Levels, Costing Investors $2.03 Per Share When the Truth EmergedNEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt examines the adequacy of FS KKR Capital Corp.'s (NYSE: FSK) risk disclosures during a period when investors lost $2.03 per share following corrective disclosures on February 25, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses from inadequate FSK disclosures. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt. FSK shares fell 15.24% on February 26, 2026, closing at $11.29 after the Company revealed its non-accrual rate had risen to 5.5% at amortized cost, above the long-term BDC industry average of 3.8%, and slashed its quarterly dividend from $0.70 to $0.48 per share. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 6, 2026.What the Company Disclosed in SEC FilingsThroughout the Class Period, FS KKR Capital's annual and quarterly reports contained generic risk language acknowledging that fair value determinations "may cause our net asset value on a given date to materially understate or overstate the value that we may ultimately realize." The FY24 10-K also warned that unrealized impairments "could result in a significant reduction to our net asset value for a given period."These disclosures, the complaint challenges, were framed as hypothetical possibilities using words like "could" and "may" rather than acknowledging problems already underway within the portfolio.What the Lawsuit Contends Was MissingThe securities action asserts that while FS KKR Capital published boilerplate risk factors, the Company simultaneously concealed specific, known deterioration:Non-accrual investments at amortized cost rose from 3.5% in Q1 2025 to 5.3% by Q2 2025 and 5.5% by Q4 2025, surpassing the 3.8% long-term BDC industry averageTotal fair value of investments fell $474 million in Q2 2025 and another $406 million in Q4 2025The Company's dividend was characterized as stable and supported by spillover income, even as the underlying portfolio generating that income was deterioratingQuarterly certifications by senior executives affirmed that disclosure controls were "effective" during the same periods when material credit problems went undisclosedThe Gap Between Generic Warnings and Specific KnowledgeAs pleaded in the complaint, there is a critical distinction between warning investors that portfolio values "may" fluctuate and disclosing that specific investments are already in distress.The complaint identifies Production Resource Group, 48forty, Kellermeyer Bergensons Services, Worldwise, Medallia, and Cubic Corp as portfolio companies that experienced significant problems. Yet the named companies accounted for only 50% of net realized and unrealized losses, as revealed during the February 2026 earnings call, suggesting the disclosure gaps extended well beyond the identified investments."Generic risk factor language cannot substitute for disclosing specific, known problems that are already affecting a company's operations. Investors in FSK were entitled to know that credit deterioration had already exceeded industry benchmarks, not merely that such deterioration was theoretically possible." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.Act now to protect your rights in the FSK disclosure adequacy case or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at (888) SueWallSt.LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: July 6, 2026SueWallSt, Top 50 securities litigation firm (ISS, seven consecutive years). Over 70 professionals.

A: The complaint alleges FS KKR Capital made materially false or misleading statements regarding the effectiveness of its portfolio restructuring, the accuracy of its investment valuations, and the sustainability of its dividend distributions during the Class Period from May 8, 2024 through February 25, 2026. When the true condition was revealed, the stock declined sharply.Q: Who is eligible to join the FSK investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased FSK stock or securities between May 8, 2024 and February 25, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible.

A subsidiary of KKR has agreed to invest $150 million in cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). This investment will close as soon as practicable following the consummation of the tender offer (described below), subject to regulatory approval, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). The Preferred Stock contains a current dividend rate of 5.00% per annum in cash, or, at the Company's option, 7.00% per annum in PIK dividends. The Preferred Stock will rank junior to all existing indebtedness of the Company and senior to the Company's common stock. The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time in cash and, after three years, if the Company's common stock is trading equal to or above the conversion price, will be convertible by the Company into the Company's common stock at the conversion price then in effect. Initially, the conversion price is $18.83 (the Company's net asset value per share as of March 31, 2026) per share. The conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments, including certain anti-dilution protections. At the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock, after six months, the Preferred Stock may be converted into the Company's common stock at the conversion price then in effect and, after six years, the Preferred Stock may be redeemable in cash. The proceeds of the Preferred Stock are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding any Company common stock repurchase program or debt repayment.$150 million Tender Offer. As separately announced, a subsidiary of KKR intends to commence a fixed price tender offer for up to $150 million aggregate amount of shares of FSK's common stock (the "Tender"). The Tender was announced at a price of $11.00 per share. The Tender will be available to all stockholders of FSK, is expected to commence on or around May 12, 2026 and is expected to remain open for 20 business days, subject to customary closing conditions and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. KKR believes the intrinsic value of FSK's common stock is in excess of the Tender price of $11.00 per share.$300 million Share Repurchase Program. The Company's board of directors has authorized a $300 million stock repurchase program, which will be implemented as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Tender. The Company expects to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market, by tender offer or in privately negotiated purchases in compliance with applicable law, while simultaneously being mindful of net repayment levels and the Company's total leverage level. During the stock repurchase period, the Company's new investment originations may be reduced as the Company will focus on supporting existing portfolio companies, reducing leverage, and repurchasing stock. The board-authorized stock repurchase program is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2027, unless extended, or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the FSK board of directors has been expended.50% Subordinated Income Incentive Fee Waiver. Beginning with the second quarter of 2026, KKR has agreed to waive 100% of its portion of the subordinated income incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee Waiver"). The Incentive Fee Waiver applies to 50% of the total subordinated income incentive fee that would otherwise be paid by FSK. The Incentive Fee Waiver will continue for four consecutive quarters, after which time the Company's board of directors will review the overall fee construct, consistent with its obligations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Incentive Fee Waiver is expected to support the Company's level of net investment income and, accordingly, support the Company's quarterly distribution level. In a joint statement, Michael C. Forman, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Daniel R. Pietrzak, President and Chief Investment Officer for FSK and Partner and Global Head of Private Credit at KKR, stated, "Our first quarter decline in net asset value was driven by investments which have impacted prior quarters, certain new non-accrual assets, and the impact of market-driven spread widening in certain segments of our portfolio. As we continue to address investments that have had an outsized impact on NAV, we are taking several strategic steps in an effort to improve the financial position of FSK and to enhance shareholder value. We believe FSK's current stock price underappreciates the long-term value associated with FSK's investment portfolio and the KKR Credit platform. The four strategic actions announced this morning underscore our confidence in FSK and align that level of confidence with shareholders."Subsequent EventsOn May 8, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and ING Capital LLC, as collateral agent. The amendment provides for, among other things, (i) a reduction of the total commitments to approximately $4,051.7 million from $4,700.0 million, (ii) an increase to the applicable margin, with respect to extending lenders only, with the margin increasing to a range of 0.775% to 1.9% per annum from the existing range of 0.65% to 1.775%, depending on the type of loan and (iii) a reset of the minimum Shareholders' Equity (as defined in the agreement) floor to $3,750.0 million from approximately $5,048.6 million.Declaration of Distribution for Second Quarter 2026On May 6, 2026, FSK's board of directors declared a distribution for the second quarter of $0.42 per share, which will be paid on or about July 2, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2026.Portfolio Highlights as of March 31, 2026Total fair value of investments was $12.3 billion of which 63.7% was invested in senior secured securities.Weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments(5) was 9.9%, compared to 10.1% as of December 31, 2025.

Adjusted net investment income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes (iii) the impact of accretion resulting from merger accounting; and (iv) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSK's normal course of business. FSK uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is presented for all periods as GAAP realized and unrealized gains to exclude the impact of the merger accounting. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income and GAAP net realized and unrealized gain to adjusted net realized and unrealized gain can be found above.3)Net debt to equity ratio is debt outstanding, net of cash and foreign currency and net payable/receivable for investments purchased/sold and repaid, divided by net assets.4)The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of record during each applicable period.5)See FSK's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 for important information, including information related to the calculation and definition of weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments, weighted average annual yield on all debt investments, variable rate debt investments, fixed rate debt investments, other income producing investments and non-income producing investments.6)Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSK's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 for a description of FSK's revenue recognition policy.7)Does not include investments on non-accrual status.8)Restricted cash is the cash collateral required to be posted pursuant to the Company's derivative contracts.9)Total AUM estimated as of December 31, 2025. References to "assets under management" or "AUM" represent the assets managed by Future Standard or its strategic partners as to which Future Standard is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. Future Standard calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of Future Standard's investment funds; (ii) uncalled investor capital commitments to these funds, including uncalled investor capital commitments from which Future Standard is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by Future Standard); (iv) the fair value of FS KKR Capital Corp. joint venture (JV) assets and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by Future Standard. Future Standard's calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, Future Standard's measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Future Standard's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.Contact Information:Investor Relations ContactCaitlin Welch

Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE:FSK) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in FS KKR Capital, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/fs-kkr-capital-class-action-lawsuit. Key Details of the FS KKR Capital ($FSK) Class Action Lawsuit: Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 6, 2026 Alleged Misconduct: Misrepresentations about FS KKR Capital’s valuation of its portfolio investments and the effectiveness of its portfolio valuation process Largest Alleged Stock Decline: February 26, 2026 – 15.24% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until July 6, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in FS KKR Capital securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and is captioned Stuart v. FS KKR Capital Corp., et al., No. 26-cv-2969. Why is FS KKR Capital Being Sued for Securities Fraud? FS KKR Capital is a private credit firm that specializes in making private loans (also called “debt investments”) to companies. FS KKR Capital’s principal source of revenue is interest income earned on its debt investments, as well as other fees and dividends from the companies in which it invests. During the relevant period, FS KKR Capital claimed it was establishing an improved portfolio credit profile, and that any non-accrual issues with legacy investments were being adequately addressed through restructuring. As alleged, in truth, FS KKR Capital misrepresented the valuation of its portfolio investments and the effectiveness of its portfolio valuation process. Why did FS KKR Capital’s Stock Drop? On August 6, 2025, FS KKR Capital reported Q2 2025 earnings, revealing that its net asset value had declined to $21.93 per share, down $1.44 per share, or 6.2%, from the prior quarter, and the total fair value of investments fell $474 million. The company also reported earnings (loss) per share of negative $0.75, down $1.18 per share, or 274%, from the prior quarter. This news caused the price of FS KKR Capital stock to decline $1.66 per share, or 8.2%, from $20.24 on August 6, 2025, to $18.58 per share on August 7, 2025. Then, on February 25, 2026, FS KKR Capital reported Q4 and full year 2025 earnings, revealing net asset value had continued to decline to $20.89 per share, down $1.10 per share, or 5%, from the prior quarter, and the total fair value of investments fell another $406 million. The company reported earnings (loss) per share of negative $0.41, down $1.17 per share, or 154%, from the prior quarter. FS KKR Capital also “acknowledge[d] specific challenges” with additional companies in its portfolio and cut its dividend to $0.48 per share (previously $0.70). This news caused the price of FS KKR Capital stock to decline $2.03 per share, or 15.24%, from $13.32 per share on February 25, 2026, to $11.29 per share on February 26, 2026.

FSK uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSK's financial results with other BDCs.Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSK's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures(1)

1)Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSK's common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.2)Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes (iii) the impact of accretion resulting from merger accounting; and (iv) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSK's normal course of business. FSK uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is presented for all periods as GAAP realized and unrealized gains to exclude the impact of the merger accounting. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income and GAAP net realized and unrealized gain to adjusted net realized and unrealized gain can be found above.3)Net debt to equity ratio is debt outstanding, net of cash and foreign currency and net payable/receivable for investments purchased/sold and repaid, divided by net assets.4)The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of record during each applicable period.5)See FSK's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for important information, including information related to the calculation and definition of weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments, weighted average annual yield on all debt investments, variable rate debt investments, fixed rate debt investments, other income producing investments and non-income producing investments.6)Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSK's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a description of FSK's revenue recognition policy.7)Does not include investments on non-accrual status.8)Total AUM estimated as of September 30, 2025. References to "assets under management" or "AUM" represent the assets managed by Future Standard or its strategic partners as to which Future Standard is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. Future Standard calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of Future Standards' investment funds; (ii) uncalled investor capital commitments to these funds, including uncalled investor capital commitments from which Future Standard is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by Future Standard); (iv) the fair value of FS KKR Capital Corp. joint venture (JV) assets and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by Future Standard. Future Standards' calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, Future Standards' measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Future Standards' definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.Contact Information:Investor Relations ContactAnna Kleinhenn
