Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On July 26, 2019, FS KKR Capital Corp. (the “Company”) issued an additional $175 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% notes due 2022 (the “Add-On Notes”). The Add-On Notes were issued as additional notes under the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated April 30, 2015, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), to the Base Indenture, dated July 14, 2014, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture”, and together with the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company previously issued $275 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% notes due 2022 (the “Existing Notes”, and together with the Add-On Notes, the “Notes”). The Add-On Notes are being treated as a single series with the Existing Notes under the Indenture and for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Add-On Notes have identical terms as the Existing Notes, other than the issue date and offering price. The Add-On Notes have the same CUSIP number and are fungible and rank equally with the Existing Notes.

The Add-On Notes will mature on May 15, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The Add-On Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.750% per year. Interest on the Add-On Notes will accrue from May 15, 2019. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15^th and November 15^th of each year, commencing on November 15, 2019. The Add-On Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Add-On Notes, rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company, rank effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A), as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the Indenture, the Company will generally be required to make an offer to purchase the outstanding Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The Add-On Notes were offered and sold in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-231221), the prospectus supplement dated July 19, 2019 and the pricing term sheet filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 19, 2019. The transaction closed on July 26, 2019. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $175.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.1 million payable by the Company and estimated offering expenses of approximately $350,000 payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its financing arrangements.

The foregoing description of the Add-On Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Supplemental Indenture and the accompanying Form of 4.750% Notes due 2022, respectively, filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to FS KKR Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form N-2, originally filed on May 3, 2019 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) and the final prospectus supplement, dated July 19, 2019 (including the base prospectus filed therewith, the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission on July 22, 2019 pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act, relating to the proposed issuance by the Company of an additional $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), to be sold to underwriters pursuant to an underwriting agreement substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 22, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”). This opinion letter is being furnished to the Company in accordance with the requirements of Item 25 of Form N-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and we express no opinion herein as to any matter other than as to the legality of the Notes.

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the indenture dated as of July 14, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of July 14, 2014, by the second supplemental indenture dated as of December 3, 2014, by the third supplemental indenture dated as of April 30, 2015 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) and by the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of July 15, 2019, between the Company and the Trustee.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below, including the following documents:

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as original documents, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us and the legal power and authority of all persons signing on behalf of the parties to such documents.

On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in this letter, we are of the opinion that:

The opinions set forth herein as to enforceability of obligations of the Company are subject to: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and the discretion of the court or other body before which any proceeding may be brought; (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; (iii) provisions of law which may require that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed only in U.S. dollars; (iv) requirements that a claim with respect to any debt securities denominated other than in U.S. dollars (or a judgment denominated other than in U.S. dollars in respect of such claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law; and (v) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States or in foreign currency or composite currency.

We express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any agreement or instrument that (i) requires or relates to payment of any interest at a rate or in an amount which a court may determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture or (ii) relates to governing law and submission by the parties to the jurisdiction of one or more particular courts.
