*Purchase Agreement*

 

On May 10, 2026, FS KKR Capital Corp. (the "Company") entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with KKR Alternative Assets L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to purchase $150,000,000 in newly issued shares of the Company's cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock"). The Convertible Preferred Stock will be a series of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Purchaser is an affiliate of KKR & Co. Inc. ("KKR"). The Company's investment adviser, FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (the "Adviser"), is jointly operated by KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC ("KKR Credit"), which is also an affiliate of KKR, and FSJV Holdco, LLC, an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings L.P. (which does business as Future Standard).

The closing of the purchase is subject to the expiration of the Purchaser's concurrently announced third-party tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for up to $150 million in aggregate amount of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and other customary closing conditions and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and is expected to occur on the 11th business day following the expiration of the Tender Offer.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of Convertible Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes including, without limitation, funding any Common Stock repurchase program or debt repayment. The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to all liquidation, winding up, dissolution, dividend and distribution rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference equal to $25.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, accumulated to (but excluding) the date fixed for distribution or payment, whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest on any such distribution or payment. Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a quarterly basis in an initial amount equal to 5.00% per annum of the Liquidation Preference per share, payable in cash or, at the Company's option, 7.00% per annum of the Liquidation Preference per share payable in additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock; provided that the Company shall be prohibited from paying dividends in additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock if the conversion feature at the time of issuance of such additional shares is equal to or greater than 10.00% of the value of the Convertible Preferred Stock. After the 5.5-year anniversary of the issue date, the dividend rate will increase annually by 1.00% per annum.

After the 6-month anniversary of the issue date, the Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into (i) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the Liquidation Preference, plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest on such dividends) to, but excluding, the date fixed for such conversion and (b) the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date (which shall not be less than the NYSE Minimum Price (as defined below)), plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares. The initial conversion price will equal $18.83; provided, however, that in no event shall the conversion price be less than the NYSE Minimum Price.

At any time, upon approval by the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), including a majority of the independent directors, the Company may, at its election, redeem all or any part of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in cash at a price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference, plus an amount equal to all accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, accumulated to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest on any such distribution or payment. The Purchaser will have the right to convert any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for such redemption. At any time on or after the thirty-six month anniversary of the issue date, upon approval by the Board, including a majority of the independent directors, so long as the volume weighted average price of the Company's Shares on the NYSE for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers notice of redemption equals or exceeds the conversion price then in effect, the Company may, at its election, may redeem all or any part of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock by delivering Shares in lieu of cash, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference, plus an amount equal to all accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, accumulated to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest on any such distribution or payment. The Purchaser will have the right to convert any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for such redemption.

At any time after the 6-year anniversary of the issue date, upon 90 days' notice, the Purchaser will have the option, at its election, to require the Company to redeem any or all of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to the Liquidation Preference of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest on such dividends) to, but excluding, the date fixed for such redemption. The Purchaser will have the right to convert any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for any such redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the articles supplementary that will establish the Convertible Preferred Stock), the Purchaser will have the option to require the Company to immediately redeem all then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus an amount equal to all accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest). The Purchaser will have the right to convert any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for such Change of Control redemption.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed that, for a period of one year following the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Restriction Date"), it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, pledge, transfer, dispose of, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Convertible Preferred Stock or the shares of Common Stock into which it is convertible, subject to exceptions for (i) redemption of Convertible Preferred Stock by the Company and (ii) the Purchaser's exercise of its conversion right. Following the Restriction Date, the Purchaser will be required to notify the Board of any transfer substantially concurrently therewith.

Each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. In addition, for so long as the Company is subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall have the right to elect two (2) members of the Board at all times (initially expected to be James H. Kropp and Elizabeth J. Sandler), and the balance of the directors shall be elected by the holders of shares of Common Stock and the Convertible Preferred Stock voting together; provided, however, if the Adviser is the Company's investment adviser and the Purchaser or its affiliates beneficially own greater than 50% of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, the independent directors of the Company selected by the Purchaser or its affiliates shall be eligible to serve as directors elected separately by the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. If, at any time, accumulated dividends on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to at least two full years' dividends shall be due and unpaid, or if holders of any other preferred stock become entitled to elect a majority of directors of the Company under the 1940 Act, then the number of directors constituting the Board shall automatically increase by the smallest number that, when added to the two directors elected exclusively by holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, would constitute a majority of the Board. During any such period, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other preferred stock shall have the power to elect such additional directors, voting separately as a class.

"NYSE Minimum Price" means the lower of (x) the official closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") immediately preceding the signing of the Purchase Agreement and (y) the average official closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the Purchase Agreement, in each case, as adjusted pursuant to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). These securities have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as applicable.

*Registration Rights Agreement*

 

Concurrently with the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and the Purchaser expect to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Purchaser (and certain permitted transferees) will have the right to require the Company to register for resale under the Securities Act shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and certain other shares of Common Stock held by the Purchaser and its affiliates as of the closing date of the Convertible Preferred Stock offering (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). The Purchaser will have demand registration rights (not to exceed three Demand Requests (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in any 365-day period), customary piggyback registration rights in connection with Company-initiated registrations, and the right to require the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a continuously effective shelf registration statement on Form N-2 covering the Registrable Securities from and after the Registration Date until the Purchaser has sold all Registrable Securities. The Company Registration Rights Agreement will include customary indemnification and contribution provisions, which survive termination of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The descriptions above are only summaries of the material provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Purchase Agreement and the form of Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and included in Exhibit 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The representations and warranties in such agreements were made solely for the benefit of the other parties thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Investors should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances at the time they were made or at any other time.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this <u>Section 2.7</u> for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

Section 2.7.4If the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section 2.7</u> is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under <u>Section 2.7.1</u> or <u>Section 2.7.2</u> although applicable in accordance with its terms, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in <u>Section 2.7.1</u> or <u>Section 2.7.2</u> (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative faults referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any registration statement filed with the SEC by the Corporation, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of securities registered thereunder (before deducting expenses) received by the indemnifying party bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities registered thereunder. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this <u>Section 2.7.4</u> shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this <u>Section 2.7.4</u>. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section 2.7.4</u>, the Holder shall not be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount by which the net proceeds received by the Holder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

If indemnification is available under this <u>Section 2.7</u>, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in <u>Section 2.7.1</u> and <u>Section 2.7.2</u> without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this <u>Section 2.7.4</u> subject, in the case of the Holder, to the limited dollar amounts set forth in <u>Section 2.7.2</u>.

Section 2.7.5 The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement (including <u>Section 4.1</u> thereof), the indemnification and contribution obligations set forth in this <u>Section 2.7</u> shall not be subject to any time limitation and shall survive indefinitely, including after any termination of this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 2.11</u>.

Section 2.8 <u>Transfer of Registration Rights</u>. Any of the rights of the Holder under this Agreement may be assigned, in the discretion of the Holder, without the prior consent of the Corporation, to any Person who (i) is a Permitted Transferee (as defined below) of the Holder and (ii) agrees in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement. No such assignment will relieve the assigning Holder of liability based on any action or occurrence prior to such assignment. Prior to or concurrently with any such assignment, the assigning Holder shall provide written notice to the Corporation identifying the transferee and the number of Registrable Securities transferred. For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Transferee" means (A) any affiliate of the assigning Holder, (B) any fund, investment vehicle, or managed account under common management or control with the assigning Holder, or (C) any other transferee approved in writing by the Corporation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Section 2.9 <u>Rule 144</u>. The Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Corporation is not required to file such reports, will, upon the request of the Holder, make publicly available other information) and will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable written request of the Holder, the Corporation will deliver to such parties a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and will, at its expense, forthwith upon the request of the Holder, deliver to the Holder a certificate, signed by the Corporation's principal financial officer, stating (a) the Corporation's name, address and telephone number (including area code), (b) the Corporation's Internal Revenue Service identification number, (c) the Corporation's SEC file number, (d) the number of shares of each class of capital stock outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the Corporation, and (e) whether the Corporation has filed the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed thereunder.

Section 2.10 <u>Preservation of Rights</u>. The Corporation will not (i) grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than or inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder or (ii) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Holder in this Agreement.

Section 2.11 <u>Sunset</u>.

Section 2.11.1Except as set forth in <u>Section 2.11.2</u> below, all registration rights and related obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the demand registration rights in <u>Section 2.1</u>, the piggyback registration rights in <u>Section 2.2</u>, and the shelf registration obligation in <u>Section 2.3</u>) shall terminate automatically and without further action of any party on the date (the **"Sunset Date"**) that is the date on which the Holder does not hold Registrable Securities.

Section 2.11.2The following provisions shall survive the Sunset Date and shall remain in full force and effect after such date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any registration statement that has been filed and declared effective pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Sunset Date shall remain effective and continue to be governed by this Agreement until the earlier of (A) the sale of all Registrable Securities covered thereby, or (B) the withdrawal or deregistration of such registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in <u>Section 2.7</u> shall survive the Sunset Date indefinitely and shall not be subject to any termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Corporation's obligations under <u>Section 2.9</u> shall survive until the date on which all Registrable Securities are no longer outstanding or have been freely sold by the Holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any liability or obligation that has accrued under this Agreement prior to the Sunset Date shall survive the Sunset Date and remain enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 3.3 <u>Governing Law</u>.

Section 3.3.1This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties.

Section 3.3.2Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County (the "**New York Courts**") for any legal action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby (and agrees not to commence any legal action or other legal proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), including to enforce any settlement, order or award. Each party hereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of New York, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to <u>Section 3.1</u> is reasonably calculated to give actual notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) agrees that the New York Courts shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in the New York Courts that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

Section 3.3.3In the event of any action or other proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court) shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the prevailing party, including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any challenge to the jurisdiction or the convenience or propriety of venue of proceedings before the New York Courts.

Section 3.3.4 Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any legal action or other legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers set forth in this <u>Section 3.3.4</u>.

Section 3.4 <u>Remedies</u>. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Corporation agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 3.5 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit the Corporation, the Holder, and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 3.6 <u>Severability</u>. Any term or provision hereof that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares any term or provision hereof invalid, void or unenforceable, the court or other authority making such determination will have the power to and will, subject to the discretion of such body, reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 3.7 <u>Waivers</u>. A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a writing signed by the party or parties intended to be bound by the waiver. A party is not prevented from enforcing any right, remedy or condition in the party's favor because of any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy or in requiring satisfaction of any condition, except to the extent that the party specifically waives the same in writing. A written waiver given for one matter or occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver for any other matter or occasion. Any enumeration of a party's rights and remedies in this Agreement is not intended to be exclusive, and a party's rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative to the extent permitted by law and include any rights and remedies authorized in law or in equity.

Section 3.8 <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect except by a written agreement signed by the Corporation and the Holder.

Section 3.9 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, arrangements, representations and understandings, written, oral or otherwise, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 3.10 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (whether delivered by electronic copy or otherwise), each of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Each party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 3.11 <u>Construction and Interpretation</u>. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a section or article, such reference will be to a section or article of this Agreement, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement they will be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation". The words "hereof," "herein" and "herewith" and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article and section references are references to the articles and sections of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

No prior draft of this Agreement will be used in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

**FS KKR Capital Corp. Announces First Quarter 2026 Results and Strategic Value Enhancement Actions**

**Declares Second Quarter 2026 Distribution of $0.42 per share**

PHILADELPHIA, PA AND NEW YORK, NY – May 11, 2026 – FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK), or the Company, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and announced certain strategic value enhancement actions, as further outlined below. Additionally, the Company announced that its board of directors has declared a second quarter 2026 distribution of $0.42 per share.

**Financial and Operating Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026<sup>(1)</sup>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net investment income of $0.42 per share, compared to $0.48 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adjusted net investment income<sup>(2)</sup> of $0.41 per share, compared to $0.52 per share for the quarter ended December 31,
2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net asset value of $18.83 per share, compared to $20.89 per share as of December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Total net realized and unrealized loss of $2.00 per share, compared to a total net realized and unrealized loss of $0.89 per share
for the quarter ended December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adjusted net realized and unrealized loss<sup>(2)</sup>of $1.99 per share, compared to adjusted net realized and unrealized
loss of $0.88 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Earnings (Loss) per share of ($1.57), compared to Earnings (Loss) per share of ($0.41) for the quarter ended December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net debt to equity ratio<sup>(3)</sup> as of March 31, 2026 was 131%, compared to 122% as of December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Paid distributions to stockholders totaling $0.48 per share<sup>(4)</sup>

**Strategic Value Enhancement Actions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *<u>$150 million Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred.</u>* 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *<u>$150 million Tender Offer.</u>* 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *<u>$300 million Share Repurchase Program.</u>* 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *<u>50% Subordinated Income Incentive Fee Waiver.</u>* 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 Events**

On 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 2026**

This announcement and our quarterly earnings call contain certain forward-looking statements that are not historical facts, including, without limitation, statements with regard to future events or our future performance or financial condition, and statements regarding share repurchase activity, distribution levels and frequency, expectations regarding settlement of the Preferred Stock offering and FSK's intended use of proceeds, expectations for net investment income levels in future quarters, and the financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for FSK's future operations. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," and "intend" indicate a forward-looking statement, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including those factors set forth in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, changes in the economy, geo-political risks, risks associated with possible disruption in FSK's operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters or pandemics, future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in FSK's operating area and the price at which shares of FSK's common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Some of these factors are enumerated in the filings FSK makes with the SEC. In addition, the FSK board-authorized share repurchase program does not require FSK to repurchase any specific number of shares of the FSK common stock. There is no assurance that FSK or any of its affiliates will purchase shares of its common stock at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts or that the market price of FSK's common stock, either absolutely or relative to net asset value, will increase as a result of any share repurchases, or that any repurchase plan will enhance stockholder value over the long term. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date hereof and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. FSK has based the forward-looking statements included in this press release on information available to FSK on the date of this press release. Except as required by the federal securities laws, FSK undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The press release above contains summaries of certain financial and statistical information about FSK. The information contained in this press release is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of FSK's SEC filings and other public announcements that FSK may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. FSK undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise the information contained in this press release. In addition, information related to past performance, while helpful as an evaluative tool, is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured. Investors should not view the past performance of FSK, or information about the market, as indicative of FSK's future results.

**Other Information**

The information in this press release is summary information only and should be read in conjunction with FSK's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which FSK filed with the SEC on May 11, 2026, as well as FSK's other reports filed with the SEC.

**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. There can be no assurance that FSK will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). 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<sup>(1)</sup>**

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
|  | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| GAAP net investment income per share | $0.42 | $0.48 |
| Accretion resulting from merger accounting | $(0.01) | $(0.01) |
| Excise tax | $0.00 | $0.05 |
| Adjusted net investment income per share<sup>(2)</sup> | $0.41 | $0.52 |
| GAAP Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share | $(2.00) | $(0.89) |
| Unrealized appreciation from merger accounting | $0.01 | $0.01 |
| Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss)<sup>(2)</sup> | $(1.99) | $(0.88) |

---

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 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.
