· The board of trustees of Corporate Capital Trust II intends to suspend the company’s offering to new investors effective January 10, 2018 in order to evaluate a proposal for advisory services to be presented to the board of trustees by KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC (KKR) and Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (FS Investments).
· It is anticipated that the board of trustees will explore an agreement appoint a joint venture between KKR and FS Investments or their respective affiliates to provide investment advisory services to BDCs advised or subadvised by KKR and FS Investments (or their affiliates).
· If the board recommends this transaction, then Corporate Capital Trust II shareholders would be required to vote to approve new investment co-advisory agreements and a new joint advisor investment advisory agreement at a special shareholder meeting prior to the new agreements becoming effective. A preliminary proxy statement would be filed as soon as possible with the SEC and, once approved, will be mailed to shareholders. Until there is a definitive proxy statement and due to the nature of this transaction, the company will be limited to the amount of information that can be shared, until the SEC approves the proxy statement.
