This SC TO-I filing announces Franklin BSP Capital Corporation's annual tender offer, a routine mechanism to provide liquidity to its stockholders given that its shares do not trade on a public market. The company plans to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares, representing approximately 1.85% of its outstanding shares. The purchase price will be the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share as of December 31, 2025, which will be disclosed in a subsequent amendment. For filing fee purposes, the transaction value was estimated at $34.18 million based on the September 30, 2025 NAV. While the percentage of shares targeted for repurchase is notable, the offer is consistent with the company's established practice for a business development company (BDC) that is not publicly traded. This offer is important for shareholders seeking an exit and will increase the proportionate ownership for those who do not tender their shares.
