FORM 8-K

CURRENT REPORT

Pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Date of Report (Date of Earliest Event Reported): October 7, 2016

CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST, INC.

(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter)

Amendment to distribution reinvestment plan

On October 7, 2016, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended DRP”). The Amended DRP will be effective as of, and will first apply to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after, November 1, 2016. Under the DRP, cash distributions paid to participating stockholders are reinvested in additional shares of common stock of the Company (“Shares”) at a price equal to the current public offering price that the Shares are being offered pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement, net of all sales load.

Under the Amended DRP, during such time as the Company is not conducting a public offering (unless its Shares are listed on a national stock exchange), cash distributions paid to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional Shares at a purchase price determined by the Board, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per Share determined in good faith by the Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution (the “NAV Per Share”) and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share as of such date.

The Amended DRP also provides that future amendments to the Amended DRP which are approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors are effective upon filing such amendment on a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 15 days prior to the effective date of the amendment. No other material terms of the DRP have been amended in connection with the approval of the Amended DRP.

The foregoing summary of the Amended DRP is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended DRP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Exhibits.

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.
