Hi [Financial Professional Name],
I hope you’re well. As an advisor with clients in FS KKR Capital Corp. (FSK) or FS KKR Capital Corp. II (FSKR), I wanted to let you know that Broadridge, the solicitor for the funds, will be reaching out to shareholders in the coming weeks seeking their vote on the proposed merger of FSK and FSKR. Depending on your client’s election, they will receive either a hard copy mailing or an email with the proxy solicitation materials, including a proxy card which they can refence when voting.
Shareholders may vote online or by phone or mail. Please feel free to share details below with your clients.
• Online: www.proxyvote.com (clients will need their proxy card on hand to reference the control number provided)
• Phone: 833-868-3374 or 800-690-6903 if they do not have their proxy card.
• Mail: Mark, sign, and date the ballot mailed to them and return in the postage-paid envelope provided in the mailing.
We expect the mergers to close in late Q2 or early Q3 2021, subject to shareholder approval and other conditions of the closing.
We have also published client-friendly resources on www.FSproxy.com. We believe the mergers will help reduce operating expenses, increase portfolio diversification, and enhance the market visibility of the combined company as it will rank as of the largest BDCs in the market following the merger.
Best,
[Signature]

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included herein may constitute “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements with regard to future events or the future performance or operations of the Companies. Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 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 changes in the economy, risks associated with possible disruption to a Company’s operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters or pandemics such as COVID-19, future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in a Company’s operating area, failure to obtain requisite stockholder approval for the Proposals (as defined below) set forth in the Proxy Statement (as defined below), failure to consummate the business combination transaction involving the Companies, the price at which shares of FSK’s and FSKR’s common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange, uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the business combination transaction involving the Companies, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the business combination transaction involving the Companies and failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination transaction involving the Companies. Some of these factors are enumerated in the filings the Companies made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are also contained in the Proxy Statement. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that any plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication. Except as required by federal securities laws, the Companies undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.
