Levi & Korsinsky Alerts FS KKR Capital Corp. Investors of Class Action Deadline

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP, a respected law firm known for protecting investors’ rights, is reminding investors of FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK) about an impending class action lawsuit concerning the company's securities. This class action arises out of significant allegations regarding misleading statements related to the company's dividend sustainability, which ultimately led to notable financial losses for its investors.

Background of the Case

The relevant class period spans from May 8, 2024, to February 25, 2026. During this time, FS KKR Capital maintained that its dividend strategy was reliable and stable. However, the dividend was dramatically slashed by 31% from $0.70 to $0.48 per share on February 26, 2026. This reduction translated to a loss of $2.03 per share for investors who believed the company’s assurances regarding its fiscal health.

In the lead-up to the dividend cut, FS KKR had projected a base distribution of $0.64 along with a $0.06 supplemental division, asserting in public statements that spillover income from previous periods would support the ongoing dividend stability. Management consistently assured shareholders that their distribution program was based on solid projections and reinforced by the company's financial performance, which now appears to have represented a misleading narrative.

Allegations of Deception

The complaint details how FS KKR's management was aware of worsening credit conditions that compromised its portfolio and, consequently, the sustainability of its dividends. Notably:

• - The company projected high annual distributions of $2.90 per share while simultaneously experiencing declines in portfolio fair values.
• - Historically, Business Development Companies (BDCs) like FS KKR rely heavily on income from interest payments on private loans. When such companies fail to collect on loans, it significantly threatens their cash flow and dividend sustainability.
• - Management was touting “significant progress” in restructuring troubled loans at the same time non-accrual payment rates were on the rise. Investors were led to believe in a misrepresented sense of income security, which was not supported by the actual financial trajectory of the company.

Consequences and Next Steps for Investors

As evidenced by the slashing of the dividend and the share price drop of approximately 15.24% following the announcement, investor confidence was shaken. Following this, potential class members have the opportunity to join the lawsuit and seek to recover losses experienced during the class period. The court has set July 6, 2026 as the official deadline for those wishing to apply as lead plaintiffs in the class action.

Joseph E. Levi, Esq. emphasizes that “Investors deserve transparency about material risks that could affect their investments... When a company promises security while its foundational elements (portfolio credit health) are deteriorating, shareholders are deprived of crucial information for their investment decisions.”
