About
Kennedy Lewis Capital Company (“KLCC” or the “Fund”) is a non-exchange traded business development company (“BDC”) focused primarily on providing senior secured lending solutions to the growing number of high-quality U.S. middle market companies in need of alternative sources of funding, with a focus on non-sponsor backed opportunities.⁴
KLCC’s investment strategy seeks to maximize the total return to its shareholders in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting private, directly originated, first lien, senior secured lending opportunities.
We believe KLCC’s structure is efficient for income-focused investors seeking access to a differentiated private credit solution.⁵ KLCC intends to make quarterly distributions to shareholders.³
KLCC is externally managed by Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (“Kennedy Lewis”), an institutional alternative investment firm focused on credit strategies with over $32 billion of assets under management.⁶
Kennedy Lewis benefits from a large team of senior investment professionals who have networks and competencies in specific industries and asset classes. We believe sourcing through Kennedy Lewis’ network can result in less competition as well as less deal overlap within an investor’s overall private credit portfolio. This network of relationships strengthens the firm’s long-term, non-sponsored focused, deal origination efforts by helping drive substantial proprietary deal flow and insight into investment opportunities.
KLCC’s investment strategy is expected to capitalize on Kennedy Lewis’ scale and reputation in the market as a collaborative financing partner, as well as its ability to transact with speed and certainty, to invest in companies seeking alternative sources of funding at pricing levels that fit its mandate.
What KLCC’s Strategy Seeks to Deliver
Attractive Income Generation
KLCC intends to make quarterly distributions to shareholders.³
KLCC has generated a 10.70% current annualized distribution yield as of August 2025 (Class I).² ³ ⁷
Diversification through Differentiated Non Sponsored Portfolio Orientation
We believe KLCC’s focus on directly originated loans primarily to non-sponsored middle market companies that require fundamental top-down credit diligence and creative financing solutions has the potential to deliver a defensive return stream and increase diversification within an investor’s portfolio.⁸ On occasion KLCC may be involved in sponsored transactions
Senior Secured Focus for Defensiveness & Risk Mitigation
KLCC primarily invests in private, directly originated, first lien, senior secured loans with structural protections and floating rates.
Kennedy Lewis strives for discipline around strong underwriting standards, structural seniority, tight loan documentation and hands-on post deal monitoring to generate long-term credit performance.
Institutional Investment Platform
Kennedy Lewis manages more than $32 billion for institutional and individual investors.⁶ The well resourced team has experience investing across the private credit markets.
We believe Kennedy Lewis’ experience navigating both public and private market credit strategies provides it with the insights necessary to identify opportunities early and evaluate investments that we believe can offer a risk-adjusted return profile that fits KLCC’s mandate.

As of September 30, 2025. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Class I inception date: February 1, 2023 | Class S inception date; May 1, 2025. To date, Class D shares have not been issued. Inception-to-date total net return for Class S (no/with upfront placement fee): 5.69%/1.99%. Class S shares listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee) assumes the maximum amount of upfront placement fees that selling agents may charge (3.5% for Class S) at the inception date of the share class. All returns are derived from financial information and are net of all KLCC expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, and incentive fees. Past performance does not predict future returns. There can be no assurance that this or any Kennedy Lewis investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. There are no upfront placement fees for Class I shares. Performance varies by share class.
KLCC commenced operations on February 1, 2023. Class I shares were first issued on February 1, 2023, and Class S shares were first issued on May 1, 2025. To date, Class D shares have not been issued. Annualized distribution yield for Class I shares is calculated as four times the quotient of (i) the most recently declared quarterly ordinary income distribution of $0.540 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025 and (ii) the net asset value per share of $20.26 as of September 30, 2025. On November 12, 2025, the Board of Trustees declared distributions of $0.540 per Class I share and $0.497 per Class S share for the fourth quarter of 2025, payable on January 27, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 28, 2025. NAV per share and distributions are reported in our SEC filings located at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1911321. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There can be no assurance that this or any Kennedy Lewis investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. The distribution rate, which may be composed of ordinary income, may change and can be affected by various factors. All per share and return figures are presented for Class I Common Shares, unless otherwise indicated. Performance varies by share class. Annualized distribution yield for Class S shares is 9.77% as of November 12, 2025, calculated as four times the quotient of (i) the most recently declared quarterly ordinary income distribution of $0.497 for the fourth quarter of 2025 and (ii) the net asset value per share of $20.24 as of September 30, 2025.
There is no assurance the Fund will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. Any distributions the Fund makes will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. The BDC may fund any distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and the Fund has no limits on the amounts it may pay from such sources. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Fund’s Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to such affiliates will reduce future distributions to which an investor would otherwise be entitled.
While KLCC’s strategy is not to target sponsored opportunities, no particular breakdown of sponsored versus non-sponsored deals is guaranteed. There can be no assurance that KLCC will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses.
KLCC is characterized as efficient for tax purposes as the BDC does not pay corporate level taxes as it intends to distribute 90% of its income to qualify under IRS regulations.

Summary of Risk Factors
There are significant risk factors associated with an investment in Kennedy Lewis Capital Company (“KLCC”). An investment in KLCC will involve a high degree of risk due to, among other things, the nature of KLCC’s investments and actual and potential conflicts of interest. There can be no assurance that KLCC will be able to implement its strategy, achieve its investment objectives, find investments that fit its criteria or avoid substantial losses. Investors should have the financial ability and willingness to accept the risks (including, among other things, the risk of loss of investment and the lack of liquidity) characteristic of investments in entities such as KLCC. Prospective investors should be aware of the additional risk factors that may affect an investment in KLCC. These risk factors include (but are not limited to) the following, each of which is described in more detail in KLCC’s prospectus which should be reviewed carefully prior to making an investment in KLCC. Investing in KLCC’s Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. Also consider the following:
•Investment in KLCC is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in KLCC.
•Investors may not have access to the money they invest for an extended period of time.
•We do not intend to list our shares on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a secondary market in our shares to develop prior to any listing. The purchase of our Common Shares is intended to be a long-term investment.
•You should not expect to be able to sell your Common Shares, regardless of how we perform. Because you may not be able to sell your shares, you will be unable to reduce your exposure on any market downturn.
•We have implemented a share repurchase program, but only a limited number of shares will be eligible for repurchase and repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions.
•An investment in our Common Shares is not suitable for you if you need access to the money you invest. See “Suitability Standards” and “Share Repurchase Program” in the prospectus.
•You will bear substantial fees and expenses in connection with your investment. See “Fees and Expenses” in the prospectus.
•Distributions are not guaranteed, and if made, may be funded from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. Although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
•A return of capital (1) is a return of the original amount invested, (2) does not constitute earnings or profits and (3) will have the effect of reducing the basis such that when a shareholder sells its shares the sale may be subject to taxes even if the shares are sold for less than the original purchase price.
•Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Advisor or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which investors would otherwise be entitled.
•We are subject to financial market risks such as general market slowdowns or recessions, which may make us unable to repay our debt investments during these periods. Changes in interest rates can also occur in financial markets. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to the variable rate investments we may hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. A rise in interest rates would also be expected to lead to higher cost on our floating rate borrowings.
•We use and expect to continue to use leverage, which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in us. See in the prospectus “Risk Factors - The Company Borrows Money, Which Magnifies the Potential for Gain or Loss on Amounts and May Increase the Risk of Investing With Us.”
•We intend to invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid and difficult to value.
•We have limited prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives;
•There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could negatively impact KLCC’s returns, including potential conflicts related to obligations Kennedy Lewis Capital Holdings LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), the Investment Advisor’s Investment Committee, and the Investment Advisor’s affiliates have to other clients and conflicts related to fees and expenses of such other clients. The Investment Advisor is registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Please refer to the Investment Advisor’s Form ADV or the prospectus for a detailed description of such conflicts.
•KLCC’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates may be restricted;
•KLCC’s business prospects and the prospects of its portfolio companies;
•Risk associated with possible disruptions in KLCC’s operations or the economy generally;
•General economic, political and industry trends and other external factors, including uncertainty surrounding the financial and political stability of the United States, the European Union, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East, and China;
•Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities;
•KLCC’s contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
•The adequacy of KLCC’s financing sources and working capital;
•The timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of KLCC’s portfolio companies;
•The ability of the Investment Advisor to locate suitable investments for KLCC and to monitor and administer its investments;
•The ability of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
•KLCC’s ability to qualify and maintain qualification as a BDC and as a regulated investment company (“RIC”);
•The effect of changes in tax laws and regulations and interpretations thereof;
•KLCC’s shares are illiquid and KLCC’s ability to effect a liquidity event will depend on market conditions;
•You may pay a sales load of up to 3.50% and offering expenses of up to 0.13% on the amounts you invest. If you pay the maximum aggregate 3.63% for sales loads and offering expenses, you must experience a total return on your net investment of 3.76% in order to recover these expenses. Please refer to and read the Prospectus carefully;
•There are restrictions on shareholders; and
