Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. Form 8-K Summary

Business Context and Reporting Period

The Form 8-K was filed on October 8, 2021, reporting an event dated October 7, 2021. The company’s investment adviser, Nuveen Churchill Advisors LLC, and sub-adviser, Churchill Asset Management LLC, entered into a second amended and restated investment sub-advisory agreement.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

The filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, asset values, or other operating metrics.

Under the amended agreement, the percentage of the aggregate management and incentive fees payable by the company to the adviser that the adviser must pay to the sub-adviser decreased from 75% to 70%.

Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

The agreement is substantially similar to the first amended and restated sub-advisory agreement dated December 11, 2020, except for the allocation of compensation between the adviser and sub-adviser.

The change does not affect the advisory fees payable by the company and does not change the services provided by either the adviser or the sub-adviser. It reallocates the adviser’s fee payments between the adviser and sub-adviser.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items

The company’s board of directors unanimously approved the amended agreement under the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The filing provides no earnings guidance, outlook, new risk factors, contingencies, or unusual financial items.
