A “publicly offered regulated investment company” is a regulated investment company whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times during the taxable year. If we are not a publicly offered regulated investment company for any period, a non-corporate stockholder’s pro rata portion of our affected expenses, including our management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution to the stockholder and will be deductible by such stockholder only to the extent permitted under the limitations described below. For non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, trusts, and estates, significant limitations generally apply to the deductibility of certain expenses of a non-publicly offered regulated investment company, including advisory fees.

The following table illustrates the effects of leverage on returns from an investment in shares of Common Stock, assuming various hypothetical annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $4.3$5.1 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 6.72%,6.17%, (iii) $2.3$3.1 billion of debt outstanding (i.e. assumes that the $700.0$1.0 millionbillion principal amount of our unsecured notes sold and the full $1.6$2.1 billion available to us under our revolving credit facilities are outstanding at December 31, 20242025) and (iv) $1.9$1.8 billion in stockholders’ equity. In order to compute the “Corresponding return to stockholders,” the “Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)” is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds by the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders’ equity to determine the “Corresponding return to stockholders.” Actual interest payments may be different. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Party Transactions and Agreements—Borrowings” for further information regarding our Borrowings.
(1) In order for us to cover our hypothetical annual interest payments on indebtedness, we would need to achieve annual returns on our December 31, 20242025 total assets of at least 3.57%.3.82%, including the impact of the application of hedge accounting.
We intend to achieve an investment grade rating for our Series A Preferred Stock from a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (“NRSRO”) and to seek a second rating from another NRSRO within two years of the initial closing of the private placement of our Series A Preferred Stock.. However, there is no assurance that we will receive a rating, or the desired rating, from a NRSRO and may remain unrated.

Terrorist attacks, acts of war, global or regional conflicts (such as those in the Middle EastEast, Central and South America and Eastern Europe), natural disasters, disease outbreaks or pandemics may impact our portfolio companies and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Terrorist attacks, acts of war, global or regional conflicts (such as those in the Middle EastEast, Central and South America and Eastern Europe), natural disasters, disease outbreaks, pandemics, or other similar events may disrupt our operations, as well as the operations of our portfolio companies. Such acts have created, and continue to create, economic and political uncertainties and have contributed to recent global economic instability. Future terrorist activities, military or security operations, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, pandemics, or other similar events could further weaken the domestic/global economies and create additional uncertainties, which may impact our portfolio companies and, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Losses from terrorist attacks and natural disasters are generally uninsurable.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Franklin BSP Capital Corporation (including, for periods prior to the Conversion, Franklin BSP Capital L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, the "Company," "FBCC," "we," “us,” or "our") and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are externally managed by our adviser, Franklin BSP Capital Adviser L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 1A — “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(1) Excludes assets acquired as part of the Mergers.
During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we made $1.1 billion of investments in new portfolio companies and had $651.2$965.8 million in aggregate amount of sales and repayments, resulting in net investments of $450.9$128.7 million for the period, excluding any impact from the Mergers.period. The total portfolio of debt investments at fair value consisted of 94.9%94.0% bearing variable interest rates and 5.1%6.0% bearing fixed interest rates.
Our portfolio composition, based on fair value at December 31, 2025 was as follows:
(1) As of December 31, 2025, FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC's holdings consisted of 94.2% senior secured debt, of which 92.0% represented senior secured first lien debt.

The respective businesses of Siena and Post Road primarily involve making senior secured asset-based loans to middle market companies and equipment finance transactions secured by mission-critical equipment of middle market companies, respectively. If the underlying investments of FBLC Senior Loan Fund described above were held by us and we were to treat the investments in Siena and Post Road as senior secured first lien investments, given the underlying businesses of those portfolio companies, then our portfolio composition as of December 31, 2025 would be as follows:

The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.22.1 and 2.32.2 as of December 31, 20242025 and December 31, 2023,2024, respectively.

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. On July 2, 2024, the Company contributed $100.0 million of additional capital into SLF. On February 28, 2025, SLF distributed $100.0 million to the Company as a return of capital. On October 15, 2025, SLF distributed $80.0 million to the Company as a return of capital.

We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We intend to invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, 79.8%80.0% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.
On December 18, 2020, we completed our Initial Closing of Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock to investors in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Since our Initial Closing, we held additional closings and received aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, investors had made aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock of $375.5 million. At each closing of the private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a notice to the investors. Closings of the private placement of our Common Stock occurred, from time to time, during the Initial Closing Period which our Board of Directors extended such that it ended December 18, 2023. After the Initial Closing Period, we may permit one or more additional closings of the private placement of our Common Stock with the approval of our Board of Directors.
On August 25, 2021, we filed the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock. On the same day, we entered into the Preferred Subscription Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which investors made new Preferred Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, total Preferred Capital Commitments of Series A Preferred Stock were $77.5 million.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we made $241.5$364.1 million of investments in portfolio companies and had $246.2$342.0 million in aggregate amount of sales and repayments, resulting in net investments of $(4.7)$22.1 million for the period. The total portfolio of debt investments at fair value consisted of 93.5% bearing variable interest rates and 6.5% bearing fixed interest rates.
Our portfolio composition, based on fair value at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was as follows:
(1) As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC's holdings consisted of 94.5%93.2% senior secured debt, of which 92.4%91.8% represented senior secured first lien debt. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we held investments in Siena Capital Finance, LLC ("Siena") consisting of subordinated debt and equity, which represented 2.1%1.8% and 2.1% of our total portfolio, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we held investments in Post Road Equipment Finance, LLC (“Post Road”) consisting of subordinated debt and equity, which represented 2.5%2.3% and 3.2%3.4% of our total portfolio, respectively. The respective businesses of Siena and Post Road primarily involve making senior secured asset-based loans to middle market companies and equipment finance transactions secured by mission-critical equipment of middle market companies, respectively. If the underlying investments of FBLC Senior Loan Fund described above were held by us and we were to treat the investments in Siena and Post Road as senior secured first lien investments, given the underlying businesses of those portfolio companies, then our portfolio composition as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 would be as follows:
The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.2 and 2.1 as of bothJune March 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.2025, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had eighteleven portfolio companies on non-accrual status with a total amortized cost of $59.5$112.7 million and fair value of $30.9$68.3 million, which represented 1.4%2.7% and 0.8%1.7% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had eight portfolio companies on non-accrual status with a total amortized cost of $100.3 million and fair value of $46.5 million, which represented 2.4% and 1.1% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding our non-accrual policy.
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. On July 2, 2024, the Company contributed $100.0 million of additional capital into SLF. On February 28, 2025, SLF distributed $100.0 million to the Company as a return of capital. On October 15, 2025, SLF distributed $80.0 million to the Company as a return of capital. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we and CCLF owned 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an administrative and loan services agreement with BSP, our affiliate, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $225.0 million. Our investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

Below is certain summarized financial information for SLF as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):
Our operating results for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Investment income decreased from $103.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $96.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to lower SOFR rates. Investment income decreased from $210.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $194.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 due to lower SOFR rates. PIK income from investments decreased from $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. PIK income from investments decreased from $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Fee and other income, included within total investment decreased from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Fee and other income, included within total investment income, decreased from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Dividend income, included within total investment income, decreased from $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Dividend income, included within total investment income, decreased from $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Investment income decreased from $107.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $98.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was primarily driven by the decrease in dividend income from our control investments. PIK income from investments increased from $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Interest income, included within total investment income, decreased from $89.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $86.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Dividend income, included within total investment income, decreased from $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The composition of our operating expenses for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Management Fees decreased from $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Management Fees decreased from $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in Management Fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is attributable to a decrease in average gross assets. In addition, a greater portion of average gross assets as of June 30, 2026 as compared to as of June 30, 2025 was financed with borrowings above 1.0x debt-to-equity and therefore was subject to the lower annual management fee rate of 1.00%, rather than the 1.50% annual rate otherwise applicable.
Management Fees decreased from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in Management Fees from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 was driven by an increase in leverage.
Incentive Fees decreased from $9.0$7.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to $7.4$6.8 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Incentive Fees decreased from $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in Incentive Fees from Marchthe 31,three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the Marchthree 31,and six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by lower SOFR rates which resulted in a decrease in pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Interest and debt fees increased from $33.9$34.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to $34.6$36.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Interest and debt fees increased from $68.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $71.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase fromfor Marchthe 31,three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to Marchthe 31,three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the increase in the average daily debt outstanding for facility borrowings and unsecured notes partially offset by a lower weighted average annualized interest cost of the facility borrowings and unsecured notes. The average daily debt outstanding for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 was $2.1 billion compared to $2.2 billion for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The weighted average annualized interest cost of the facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 and 2026 were 6.21%6.20% and 5.83%,5.99%, respectively.
