Executive Summary

ARCC entered into new at-the-market (ATM) equity distribution agreements with Mizuho, SMBC Nikko, and Truist, each authorizing up to $1.5 billion in common stock sales, and terminated the prior February 2025 EDA with Truist and Mizuho. These are routine capital raising facilities that provide flexibility but signal potential future dilution.

  • Compensation to agents is up to 1.5% of gross sales price.
