Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 11, 2020, Nuveen Churchill Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”), investment adviser to Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (the “Company”), and Churchill Asset Management LLC, sub-adviser to the Company (the “Sub-Adviser”), entered into the First Amended and Restated Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
The terms of the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially the same as the previously effective investment sub-advisory agreement, dated as of December 31, 2019, by and between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, except for the allocation of compensation between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser thereunder. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement, the percentage of the aggregate management and incentive fees payable by the Company to the Adviser (the “Advisory Fees”) that the Adviser is required to pay to the Sub-Adviser was reduced from 80% to 75%.
The Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement and accompanying changes in allocation of the Advisory Fees between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser will not have an economic impact on the Advisory Fees payable by the Company or result in any changes to services provided by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser to the Company. The Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.

Exhibit 10.1
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
NUVEEN CHURCHILL ADVISORS LLC
AND
CHURCHILL ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC
THIS INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT made this 11th day of December, 2020, by and between NUVEEN CHURCHILL ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), and CHURCHILL ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sub-Adviser”).
WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are investment advisers that are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and engage in the business of providing investment management services; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser has been retained to act as the investment adviser to Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (f/k/a/ Nuveen Churchill BDC, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), a closed-end management investment company that intends to elect to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, dated December 31, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the supervision and direction of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), to delegate certain of its duties thereunder to other investment advisers, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are parties to the investment sub-advisory agreement, dated December 31, 2019, by and between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Prior Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in order to change the allocation of compensation between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under Section 3(a) thereof; and
WHEREAS, the Board has approved this amended and restated investment sub-advisory agreement (this “Agreement”) in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Duties of the Sub-Adviser.
(a) Retention of Sub-Adviser. The Adviser hereby engages the Sub-Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Company, subject to the terms set forth herein and subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board.
(b) Responsibilities of Sub-Adviser. Subject always to the supervision of the Adviser and the Company’s Board, the Sub-Adviser will furnish an investment program in respect of, make investment decisions for, and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Company, all on behalf of the Adviser.
(c) Acceptance of Engagement. The Sub-Adviser hereby agrees during the term hereof to render the services described herein for the compensation provided herein, subject to the limitations contained herein. The Sub-Adviser shall carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement in compliance with: (i) the Company’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions set forth in the Company’s Form 10 or any future registration statement or prospectus; (ii) such policies, directives, regulatory restrictions and compliance policies as the Adviser may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the Sub-Adviser in writing; and (iii) applicable law and related regulations.
(d) Independent Contractor Status. The Sub-Adviser shall, for all purposes herein provided, be deemed to be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided or authorized herein, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Adviser or the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Adviser or the Company.
(e) Brokerage Commissions. The Sub-Adviser will not typically use a broker or dealer, but if a broker or dealer is used, the Sub-Adviser will place orders with any broker or dealer in connection with making investments for the Company, on the Adviser’s behalf hereunder. Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, in placing orders with brokers and dealers, the Sub-Adviser will attempt to obtain the best price and the most favorable execution of its orders. In placing orders, the Sub-Adviser will consider the experience and skill of the firm’s securities traders as well as the firm’s financial responsibility and administrative efficiency. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Adviser may select brokers on the basis of the research, statistical and pricing services they provide to the Company and other clients of the Sub-Adviser. Information and research received from such brokers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be performed by the Sub-Adviser hereunder. A commission paid to such brokers may be higher than that which another qualified broker would have charged for effecting the same transaction, provided that the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms either of the transaction or the overall responsibility of the Sub-Adviser to the Company and its other clients and that the total commissions paid by the Company will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Company over the long term, subject to review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of such practice to determine whether the Company benefits, directly or indirectly, from such practice.
(f) Voting of Proxies. The Adviser hereby delegates to the Sub-Adviser the Adviser’s discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to the securities and other assets of the Company (the “Sub-Adviser Assets”) and authorizes the Sub-Adviser to delegate further such discretionary authority to a designee identified in a notice given to the Company and the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser, including without limitation its designee, shall have the power to vote, either in person or by proxy, all securities and other investments in which the Sub-Adviser Assets may be invested from time to time, and shall not be required to seek or take instructions from, the Adviser or the Company or take any action with respect thereto. Such authorization shall include the ability to exercise authority with regard to corporate actions affecting investments in the Sub-Adviser Assets.
The Sub-Adviser has established a written procedure for proxy voting in compliance with current applicable rules and regulations, including but not limited to Rule 30b1-4 under the 1940 Act. The Sub-Adviser will provide the Adviser, or its designee, a copy of such procedure and establish a process for the
2
timely distribution of the Sub-Adviser’s voting record with respect to the Company’s securities and other information necessary for the Company to complete information required by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings under the 1940 Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, respectively.
(g) Power and Authority. To facilitate the Sub-Adviser’s performance of its responsibilities, but subject to the restrictions contained herein, the Adviser, on behalf of the Company, hereby delegates to the Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser hereby accepts, the power and authority to act on behalf of the Company to effectuate investment decisions for the Company, including the execution and delivery of all documents relating to the Company’s investments, the placing of orders for other purchase or sale transactions on behalf of the Company and the transfer of cash and other assets to facilitate the arrangement of the Company’s investments. If the Sub-Adviser deems it necessary or advisable to make, through a special purpose vehicle, any investment it is permitted hereunder to make on behalf of the Company, then the Sub-Adviser shall have authority to create, or arrange for the creation of, such special purpose vehicle and to make such investment through such special purpose vehicle. The Adviser, on behalf of the Company, but subject to the restrictions contained herein, also grants to the Sub-Adviser the power and authority to engage in all activities and transactions (and anything incidental thereto) that the Sub-Adviser reasonably deems appropriate, necessary or advisable to carry out its duties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise not in conflict with the Charter and Bylaws of the Company. Any such actions taken by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Company shall be in the name of the Company.
2. Expenses.
During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser, at its sole expense, shall employ or associate itself with such persons as it believes to be particularly fitted to assist it in the execution of its duties under this Agreement; provided however, that the Sub-Adviser may not sub-contract or assign its duties under this Agreement to third-parties. In addition, the Company or the Adviser, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Sub-Adviser for any expenses as may be reasonably incurred by the Sub-Adviser in connection with services provided by the Sub-Adviser outside of the scope of this Agreement, specifically at the request of and on behalf of the Company or the Adviser.
