PHILADELPHIA, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FS KKR Capital
Corp. (NYSE: FSK), a leading publicly traded business development
company focused on providing customized credit solutions to private
middle market U.S. companies, reported that its previously
announced reverse stock split became effective following the close
of trading on June 15, 2020. As
a result, the Company's common stock will commence trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on a split-basis on June 16, 2020. As a result of the reverse
stock split, the share count will be reduced on a 4 : 1 basis, such
that each shareholder will receive 1 share for every 4 shares
owned. The Company also filed a separate Articles of Amendment to
its charter to provide that there will be no change in the par
value of $0.001 per share as a result
of the reverse stock split.
There is not expected to be any direct economic consequence to
the Company or its shareholders from the reverse stock split. The
reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares
of the Company's common stock. The reverse stock split will affect
all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's
percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent
that the reverse stock split would result in some shareholders
owning a fractional share. In that regard, no fractional shares
will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders
of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional
share will instead receive a cash payment based on the closing
price of the Company's common stock as reported on the NYSE
today.
As previously disclosed, the Company's board of directors
declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.15 per share, which will be paid on or about
July 2, 2020 to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on June
17, 2020. As a result of the reverse stock split, the cash
distribution to be paid on or about July 2,
2020 will instead be $0.60 per
share (i.e., the aggregate amount that would have been payable on
four shares prior to the reverse stock split).
The Depository Trust Company is acting as the exchange agent and
DST Systems, Inc. is acting as the transfer agent for the reverse
stock split. Shareholders holding their shares in book-entry form
or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection
with the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders are encouraged to
contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural
questions.
