FS KKR Capital Corp. is seeking stockholder approval to allow the company to sell up to 25% of its outstanding shares below net asset value (NAV) in future offerings, with no specified limit on the discount. This is a renewal of a similar authorization granted in 2025, which expires in August 2026. While the company states it has no immediate plans to issue shares below NAV, this flexibility is crucial for Business Development Companies (BDCs) to access capital markets, maintain regulatory compliance, and pursue investment opportunities, especially during volatile periods. However, any such issuance would result in immediate dilution for existing stockholders who do not participate in the offering. The board unanimously recommends approval, citing the need for financial flexibility and capital access.
