Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 5, 2024, 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 $99,275,000 in the aggregate of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at prices below its net asset value (“NAV”) per share over a specified period. Any purchase of the shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan will be 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 “Exchange Act”). The Company adopted the Company 10b5-1 Plan because it believes that, if its common stock is trading below its then-current NAV per share, it will be in the best interest of its stockholders for the Company to reinvest in its portfolio.

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 shares 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 shares of the Company's 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 purchase of shares of common stock pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan is intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances.

The Company 10b5-1 Plan will become effective on March 29, 2024 and terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12-months (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 $99,275,000 and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
