Credit facility new or amended: 8 occurrence(s), 2023-07-19 to 2026-05-28

Most recent (2026-05-28): KKR FS Income Trust entered the Third Amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (SMBC): margin increased (1.125%->1.25% ABR; 2.125%->2.25% term/RFR loans), commitment termination extended to May 28, 2030, maturity extended to May 28, 2031, accordion cap raised to $1.2 billion, revolving commitments increased $570M to $750M.

Why it matters and what changed

Financing terms set the fund's cost of leverage and its dry powder. Amendments also reveal what lenders currently think of the collateral: improving spreads and rising commitments signal lender confidence; shrinking availability or margin increases signal the opposite. This fund logged 8 of these in the covered window; the cadence itself is part of the signal.

8 occurrence(s) of this event type stored; earlier instances are on the Fired Flags tab.

Net investment income covered only 100% of distributions in the period ended 2026-03-31; the gap was funded from capital or gains.

Net investment income covered only 100% of distributions in the period ended 2026-03-31; the gap was funded from capital or gains. (Rule C21: Distribution coverage: distribution_nii_coverage < 100%; Notify.)

Why it matters and what changed

Distributions exceed net investment income. The gap is funded from capital (the investor's own money back) or gains, and a stated yield propped up this way is fragile.

95.29 -> 99.98 (up 4.9% vs prior period); trailing 4-period average 102.99; same period prior year 95.29; breach persisted 2 consecutive periods (escalated per the two-stage ladder); comparison interval: ~12 months (2025-03-31 -> 2026-03-31; this fund's series is observed at that frequency, so 'month over month' rules compare consecutive observations)

The fund leaned harder on leverage: 48% -> 64% of its allowed leverage in use in one period (period ended 2025-12-31).

The fund leaned harder on leverage: 48% -> 64% of its allowed leverage in use in one period (period ended 2025-12-31). (Rule C22: Leverage creep: headroom down >= 5 percentage points in one period; Notify.)

Why it matters and what changed

The fund leaned meaningfully harder on its leverage in a single period. Even far from the ceiling, the direction and speed of travel matter; creep compounds quietly.

108.00 -> 57.33 (down 46.9% vs prior period); trailing 4-period average 100.50; same period prior year 208.00; breach persisted 2 consecutive periods (escalated per the two-stage ladder); comparison interval: ~3 months (2025-09-30 -> 2025-12-31; this fund's series is observed at that frequency, so 'month over month' rules compare consecutive observations)

The Base Management Fee and Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income waiver (last extended through September 30, 2025 per the 2025-03-17 8-K) was not further extended. (2025-09-30)

The Base Management Fee and Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income waiver (last extended through September 30, 2025 per the 2025-03-17 8-K) was not further extended. The Q1 2026 10-Q MD&A attributes the expense increase versus Q1 2025 partly to 'the expiration of the waiver of the base management fee and the subordinated income incentive fee.' Ratio of waived expenses to average net assets: 2.61% (Q1 2025) -> 0.00% (Q1 2026). This is a live, in-universe example of the quiet expense-support expiry the plan's fund_terms design (Section 5.6A) exists to catch.

Why it matters and what changed

A fee waiver ended. Net expenses rise immediately and net returns fall by roughly the waived amount; because no dramatic filing accompanies a quiet lapse, this is exactly the kind of change a wholesaler will not volunteer.

Occurrence event; see the filing text for terms vs the prior arrangement.
