OFS Capital Corporation (OFS)

OFS Capital Corporation functions as a business development company, delivering adaptable capital solutions, predominantly through debt financing and, to a lesser degree, minority equity investments. The firm concentrates on U.S.-based middle-market enterprises across a wide spectrum of sectors, deliberately avoiding investments in operational turnarounds or nascent businesses. Its investment approach encompasses direct funding, participating in funds, and facilitating add-on acquisitions. Within its direct investment strategy, OFS Capital provides expertise in various financial structures, including debt and structured equity, recapitalizations, refinancing operations, management and leveraged buyouts, acquisition funding, events for shareholder liquidity, and growth capital. It also supports independent sponsor transactions, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), and minority investments in lower middle-market companies. Targeted industries include aerospace and defense, business services, consumer products and services, food and beverage, healthcare services, specialty chemicals, transportation and logistics, value-added distribution, franchising, and niche industrial manufacturing. The firm seeks out U.S.-based companies that generate revenues between $10 million and $200 million, have an annual EBITDA exceeding $5 million, and possess an enterprise value from $10 million to $500 million. Individual investments typically range from $5 million to $35 million, with debt-specific investments falling between $5 million and $25 million. OFS Capital utilizes a diverse set of financial tools, including senior secured loans, unitranche facilities, first-lien and second-lien debt, subordinated or mezzanine loans, warrants, preferred equity securities, and common equity. The company is open to acquiring both minority and majority stakes in its investments and frequently collaborates with co-investors to access additional capital.

OFS is a business development company — a listed vehicle that lends to, and sometimes takes equity in, private middle-market businesses. It elects regulated-investment-company treatment, which requires it to distribute the large majority of its taxable income each year; that requirement, not a board's generosity, is what produces the high headline yield.

The payment is a distribution rather than interest, and it can include return of capital as well as net investment income and realised gains. Most of it is taxed as ordinary income rather than as qualified dividends. The loan book is valued by the manager, not by a market, so net asset value is an estimate. Read how BDCs work.

Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.

The table lists the 24 most recent recorded dividends for OFS, newest first, with ex-dates running from Dec 23, 2020 to Sep 18, 2026. The latest is $0.1700 per share in USD, ex-date Sep 18, 2026, pay date Oct 05, 2026.

None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.

The chart covers 10 complete calendar years for OFS, 2016 to 2025, per share, in USD. Each bar totals the regular dividends with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own dividend year. Our stored payment history for OFS begins in 2013. The total went from $1.36 in 2016 to $1.19 in 2025 — 13% lower. Within that span 5 years were higher than the year before and 3 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2023 $1.34, 2024 $1.36 and 2025 $1.19. The current year is still in progress and is left out, and special or one-off payments are excluded. This is a record of what was paid, not a projection. Every year shown holds the 4 dividends a quarterly cadence implies, so no year on this chart is short or long because a payment shifted across a year end.
