Decrease in Public Offering Price

On February 2, 2016, the board of directors of Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) decreased the offering price of the Company’s public offering of common stock from $10.00 per share to $9.80 per share. The new price will take effect for the weekly closings for subscriptions for our common stock commencing on February 3, 2016. The purpose of this action is to ensure that the Company’s net asset value per share is not less than 97.5% of the net offering price. As a result of the decrease in the Company’s public offering price, the maximum sales load and the net proceeds per share will correspondingly decrease from $1.000 to $0.980 and from $9.000 to $8.820, respectively.

Declaration of Distribution

On January 28, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared distribution rates per share of $0.015483, based on weekly record dates for the time period beginning on February 2, 2016 through and including February 23, 2016. With the new offering price, the annualized distribution yield will increase from 8.05% to 8.21%. It is anticipated that these distributions, in the aggregate, will be supported by the Company’s estimated annual taxable income; and the sources of distributions will be disclosed in the Company’s regular financial reports. Distributions will be paid monthly in accordance with the below schedule:

A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not statements of historical or current fact may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current understandings, intentions, beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and/or predictions regarding the future of the Company’s business and its performance, the economy, and other future conditions and forecasts of future events, and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “continues,” “pro forma,” “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “should” and “could,” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance, business strategy and portfolios, projected growth prospects, cash flows, costs and financing needs, legal proceedings, amount and timing of anticipated future distributions, estimated per share net asset value of the Company’s common stock, and other matters. The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data and/or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. While the Company believes that the current expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements are inherently susceptible to a variety of risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or accurately predict. Given these uncertainties, the Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made; and the Company undertakes no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions to its forward-looking statements made to reflect future events or circumstances, new information, changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated subsequent events, or changes to future operating results over time, except as otherwise required by law.

The Company’s forward-looking statements and projections are excluded from the safe harbor protection of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
