Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 17, 2026, Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a share repurchase plan (the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $50.0 million in the aggregate of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at prices below its then-current net asset value (“NAV”) per share over a specified period. Any purchases of shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan are conducted in accordance with the guidelines and conditions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan is designed to allow the Company to repurchase its shares of common stock at times when the Company otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan requires BofA Securities, Inc., as agent, to repurchase shares of common stock on the Company's behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by the Company to any previously announced NAV per share). Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the Company's common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the market price of the Common Stock and trading volumes, and no assurance can be given that any particular amount of shares of the common stock will be repurchased.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan will become effective on March 24, 2026 and terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the expiry of the 12-month period commencing on March 24, 2026 (tolled for periods during which the Company 10b5-1 Plan is suspended), (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares of common stock purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan equals $50.0 million and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan.
