FIDUS INVESTMENT Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Fidus Investment Corporation announced on March 2, 2026 that it amended its Equity Distribution Agreement (Amendment No. 3) to increase the maximum size of its at-the-market (ATM) offering to $400.0 million (up from $300.0 million). The ATM Program was originally established on November 10, 2022.
• The Company may sell shares of its common stock from time to time through Sales Agents Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and B. Riley Securities, Inc., or to them as principal, but is not obligated to sell any shares.

Key Details

• Date of amendment: March 2, 2026 (Amendment No. 3 to the Equity Distribution Agreement).
• New ATM cap: $400.0 million (previous cap: $300.0 million).
• Available capacity after amendment: approximately $134.8 million remains available for sale under the ATM Program as of March 2, 2026.
• Documentation: Amendment No. 3 is filed as Exhibit 10.1; legal opinion from Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP is filed as Exhibit 5.1. Sales will be made under the Company’s Form N-2 shelf registration and related prospectus.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the increase expands Fidus’s ability to raise equity capital quickly and opportunistically through market sales of common stock. This provides the company financing flexibility but could lead to dilution if shares are sold.
• The filing clarifies that sales are discretionary (no obligation to sell) and will follow the registered prospectus, so any issuance will be subject to registration and applicable securities laws.
