Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets excluding cash and cash equivalents (gross assets equal the total assets of the Company as set forth on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. Effective June 15, 2019, in connection with stockholder approval of the modification of the asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities from 200% to 150%, the Adviser reduced (by permanent waiver) the annual base management fee payable under the Advisory Agreement from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt-to-equity. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser determines. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Adviser may be entitled to under the Advisory Agreement.

The Adviser has agreed to exclude from the calculation of the subordinated income incentive fee and the incentive fee on capital gains any changes to the fair value recorded for the assets and liabilities of FSKR resulting solely from the new cost basis of the acquired FSKR investments determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues as a result of the June 16, 2021 merger of FSKR.

On June 29, 2026, the Adviser delivered the Waiver Letter to the Company, pursuant to which, during the Waiver Period beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026 and continuing through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, the Adviser has agreed to waive 50% of the subordinated income incentive fee that the Adviser would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Company under the Advisory Agreement for each fiscal quarter during the Waiver Period. No portion of such waived subordinated income incentive fee will be subject to recoupment.

On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into an administration agreement with the Adviser, or the Administration Agreement. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Adviser oversees the Company’s day-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative services. The Adviser also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports for the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Adviser assists the Company in calculating its net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Company reimburses the Adviser for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the Adviser’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (which does business as Future Standard), or Future Standard, and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Adviser. The Company reimburses the Adviser no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement. The Adviser allocates the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Board of Directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Company and certain affiliates of the Adviser. The Board of Directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to it based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Board of Directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board of Directors compares the total amount paid to the Adviser for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

(2)The Adviser agreed to waive 50% of the subordinated income incentive fee that the Adviser would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Company under the Advisory Agreement for each fiscal quarter during the Waiver Period. No portion of such waived subordinated income incentive fee will be subject to recoupment. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the amount shown is net of waivers of $(11). During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $53 and $74, respectively, of subordinated income incentive fees were paid to the Adviser. As of June 30, 2026, subordinated income incentive fees of $12 were payable to the Adviser.

(3)During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $4 and $4, respectively, of administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by the Adviser and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses, including reimbursement of fees related to transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. Broken deal costs were $0.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company paid $3 and $2, respectively, in administrative services expenses to the Adviser during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Adviser serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Adviser is the investment adviser to KKR FS Income Trust and KKR FS Income Trust Select, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the Adviser may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with Future Standard or KKR Credit. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may, simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated term. We may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from conducting certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of a majority of our directors who are not interested persons.

In an order dated June 4, 2013, or the FS Order, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of its former investment adviser and any future BDCs that are advised by its former investment adviser or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the Adviser, and in an effort to mitigate potential future conflicts of interest, the Board of Directors authorized and directed that the Company (i) withdraw from the FS Order, except with respect to any transaction in which the Company participated in reliance on the FS Order prior to April 9, 2018, and (ii) rely on an exemptive relief order, dated January 5, 2021, that permits the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Adviser or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Adviser.

On June 11, 2026, the Company and the Adviser received an updated form of co-investment exemptive relief from the SEC, or the Co-Investment Exemptive Order, to allow certain managed funds and investment vehicles, each of whose investment adviser is the Adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser, or other affiliated entities, to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Adviser or KKR Credit, where doing so is consistent with regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, and pursuant to the conditions of the

On May 10, 2026, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase $150.0 in aggregate amount of newly issued shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock. On June 29, 2026, the Company issued and sold 6,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at a price of $25.00 per share. The Company intends to use the gross proceeds to the Company of $150.0 from the sale of Convertible Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes including, without limitation, funding any repurchase program relating to shares of the Company’s common stock or debt repayment.

The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to all liquidation, winding up, dissolution, dividend and distribution rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to $25.00 per share, or 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. There is no cap on such 1.00% per annum increases.

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 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. At any time on or after the three-year 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 of common stock 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, redeem all or any part of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock by delivering shares of common stock 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, with the number of shares of common stock to be delivered per share of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (a) such redemption price per share and (b) the conversion price as of the applicable redemption date, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert any of their shares prior to the date fixed for any such redemption.

At any time after the 6-year anniversary of the issue date, upon 90 days’ notice, any holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will have the option, at its election, to require the Company to redeem any or all of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder 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

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), at the option of holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will be required to redeem all of the then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock upon 60 days’ notice following the announcement or occurrence of such Change of Control, 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). Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert any of their shares prior to the date fixed for such Change of Control redemption.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed that, prior to June 29, 2027 (the date that is one year following the Closing), or the Restriction Date, it will not sell, offer, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, otherwise transfer or dispose of or enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement, hedge or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Convertible Preferred Stock or shares of common stock into which the Convertible Preferred Stock has been or may be converted, subject to exceptions for (i) redemption of Convertible Preferred Stock by the Company pursuant to the Articles Supplementary and (ii) the Purchaser’s exercise of its conversion right pursuant to the Articles Supplementary. 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 1940 Act, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall have the right to elect two members of the Board at all times (initially designated as 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 will 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 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 and sold in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. These securities have not been 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.

In connection with the Closing, on June 29, 2026, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser (and certain permitted transferees) has 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 date of the Closing, or 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 registered offerings of equity securities by the Company or other selling stockholders, 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 December 29, 2026 (the date that falls six months after the Closing) until the Purchaser has sold all Registrable Securities. The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification and contribution provisions, which survive termination of the Registration Rights Agreement.
