Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Investment Corporation (NYSE: FSIC), or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007 and formally commenced investment operations on January 2, 2009. The Company is an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company had two wholly-owned financing subsidiaries and five wholly-owned subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private U.S. companies. The Company seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted returns by focusing on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S. companies, including middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with annual revenues of $50 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment. The Company may purchase interests in loans or make other debt investments, including investments in senior secured bonds, through secondary market transactions in the“over-the-counter” market or directly from the Company’s target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with the Company’s debt investments, the Company may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. The Company may also purchase or otherwise acquire interests in the form of common or preferred equity or equity-related securities, such as rights and warrants that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or other equity or the cash value of common stock or other equity, in the Company’s target companies, generally in conjunction with one of the Company’s debt investments, including through the restructuring of such investments, or through aco-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Company’s investment adviser FB Income Advisor, LLC, or FB Advisor, will seek to tailor the Company’s investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, the Company may increase or decrease its exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments.

As the Company previously announced on April 9, 2018, GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, resigned as the investmentsub-adviser to the Company and terminated the investmentsub-advisory agreement, or the investmentsub-advisory agreement, between FB Income Advisor, LLC, or FB Advisor, and GDFM, effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as the investmentsub-adviser to the Company, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement, or the FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement, with FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or FS/KKR Advisor, a newly-formed investment adviser jointly operated by an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (which does business as FS Investments) and by KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, pursuant to which FS/KKR Advisor acts as investment adviser to the Company. The FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement replaced the amended and restated investment advisory agreement, dated July 17, 2014, or the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement, by and between the Company and FB Advisor. See Note 11 for additional information.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 2017

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

included in the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2018. The December 31, 20162017 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated schedule of investments are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee:Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restatedFB Advisor investment advisory agreement, dated July 17, 2014, or the investment advisory agreement, by and between the Company and FB Advisor, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

The Company includes unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related accrued capital gains incentive fee. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to FB Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FB Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

See Note 11 for information relating to the incentive fee on capital gains under the FS/KKR investment advisory agreement.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of the Company’s“pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. As a result, FB Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.875%. Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FB Advisor will be entitled to a“catch-up” fee equal to the amount of thepre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of net assets. Thereafter, FB Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% ofpre-incentive fee net investment income.

The subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. Accordingly, any subordinated incentive fee on income that is payable in a calendar quarter will be limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the applicable quarterly hurdle rate, subject to the“catch-up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quartersminus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or

FS Investment Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

paid for the eleven preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum ofpre-incentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quarters. There will be no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there will be no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate and there will be no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the applicable quarterly hurdle rate.

See Note 11 for information relating to the subordinated incentive fee on income under the FS/KKR investment advisory agreement.

Partial Loan Sales:The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860,Transfers and

Servicing, or ASC Topic 860, when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. This guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a participating interest, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

participation or other partial loan sale meets the definition. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s secured borrowing.information.

Reclassifications:Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20162017 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Revenue Recognition:In May 2014,Security transactions are accounted for on the FASB issued ASUtrade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expects to collect such amounts. The Company records dividend income on theNo. 2014-09,ex-dividend date. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt its ability to collect such income. The Company’s policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. The Company considers many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it fromnon-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that the Company will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will bewritten-off. Payments received onnon-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest.Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on the Company’s judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and the Company amortizes such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,, which provides for revenue recognition basedusing the cumulative effect method applied toin-scope contracts with customers that have not been completed as of the date of adoption. The Company did not identify anyin-scope contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption and, as a result, the Company did not recognize a cumulative effect on stockholders’ equity in connection with the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. When it becomes effective,adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance in ASUNo. 2014-09 will replace most revenue recognition guidance under existing GAAP. In 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that clarified, amended and technically corrected prior revenue recognition guidance.

The new revenue recognition guidance applies to all entities and all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, excluding, among other things, financial instruments as well as certain other contractual rights and obligations. For public entities,Under the new standardsrevenue recognition guidance, which the Company has applied to all newin-scope contracts as of the date of adoption, structuring and other upfront fees are recognized as revenue based on the transaction price as the

performance obligation is fulfilled. The related performance obligation consists of structuring activities and is satisfied over time as such activities are performed. Consideration is variable and is constrained from being included in the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, typically as of the trade date of the related transaction. Payment is typically due on the settlement date of the related transaction.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $1,490 in structuring fee revenue under the new revenue recognition guidance and included such revenue in the fee income line item on its consolidated statement of operations. Comparative periods are presented in accordance with revenue recognition guidance effective duringprior to January 1, 2018, under which the interimCompany recorded structuring and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The standards permit the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.othernon-recurring upfront fees as income when earned.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2018, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to $50 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current net asset value per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program will be in effect through February 21, 2019, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Company’s board of directors has been expended. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 137,560 shares of common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program at an average price per share of $7.29 (totaling $1,003). During the period from April 1, 2018 to May 9, 2018, the Company repurchased 3,324,358 shares of common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $7.52 (totaling $25,000).

Compensation of the Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of the Company as set forth on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. Base management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. FB Advisor has agreed, effective October 1, 2017, and through September 30, 2018, to (a) waive a portion of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement so that the fee received equals

1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets and (b) continue to calculate the subordinated incentive fee on income to which it is entitled under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement as if the base management fee was 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that FB Advisor may be entitled to under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement.

Pursuant to an investmentsub-advisory agreement, or the investmentsub-advisory agreement, between FB Advisor and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM GDFM willis entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FB Advisor under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement with respect to each year.

On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an administration agreement with FB Advisor, or the FB Advisor administration agreement, which governs the administrative services provided to the Company by FB Advisor. Pursuant to the FB Advisor administration agreement, the Company reimburses FB Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations, including FB Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (which does business as FS Investments), or FS Investments, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of FB Advisor. The Company reimburses FB Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FB Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the FB Advisor administration agreement. FB Advisor allocates the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company’s board of directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Company and certain affiliates of FB Advisor. The Company’s board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Company based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company’s board of directors compares the total amount paid to FB Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

The following table describes the fees and expenses accrued under the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement and the FB Advisor administration agreement, as applicable, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016:2017:

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The members of the senior management and investment teams of FS/KKR Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the Fund Complexsame or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, FS/KKR Advisor is the investment adviser to FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV, Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. and suchCorporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of FS/KKR Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit.

For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

Exemptive Relief

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permittedtoco-invest with with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may,simultaneouslyco-invest in in transactions where price is the only negotiated term.

In an order dated June 4, 2013, or the FS Order, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,toco-invest in in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FB Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FB Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers, or collectively the Company’sco-investment affiliates. The Company believes this relief has and may continue to enhance its ability to further its investment objectives and strategy. The Company believes this relief may also increase favorable investment opportunities for it, in part, by allowing the Company to participate in larger investments, together with itsco-investment affiliates, than would be available to the Company if such relief had not been obtained. Because the Company did not seek exemptive relief to engage inco-investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, the Company is permitted toco-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance (e.g., where price is the only negotiated term).

However, in connection with the listinginvestment advisory relationship with FS/KKR Advisor, and in an effort to mitigate potential future conflicts of interest, the Company’s board of directors authorized and directed that the Company (i) withdraw from the FS Order, except with respect to any transaction in which the Company participated in reliance on the FS Order prior to April 9, 2018, and (ii) rely on an exemptive relief order, dated April 3, 2018, that permits the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by FS/KKR Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of FS/KKR Advisor.

On Novemberthe twelve months following October 1, 2017 the Company’s boardthat is in excess of directors declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.19$0.76 per share, which will be paid on or about January 3, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 20, 2017.share. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

Pursuant to the Company’s DRP, the Company will reinvest all cash dividends or distributions declared by the Company’s board of directors on behalf of stockholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if the Company’s board of directors declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

With respect to each distribution pursuant to the DRP, the Company reserves the right to either issue new shares of common stock or purchase shares of common stock in the open market in connection with implementation of the DRP. Unless the Company, in its sole discretion, otherwise directs the plan administrator, (A) if the per share market price (as defined in the DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the Company’s common stock on the payment date for the distribution, then the Company will issue shares of common stock at the greater of (i) net asset value per share of common stock or (ii) 95% of the market price; or (B) if the market price is less than the net asset value per share, then, in the sole discretion of the Company, (i) shares of common stock will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participants to the extent practicable, or (ii) the Company will issue shares of common stock at net asset value per share. Pursuant to the terms of the DRP, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by the price per share at which the Company issues such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participant based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market.

If a stockholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the DRP, such stockholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if it elected to receive distributions in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading at or below net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that they would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading above net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the stockholder’s account.

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets,non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, and dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. During certain periods, the Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions the Company makes may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of capital, which is a nontaxable distribution) will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $49,569 and 2016 was $146,571 and $156,642,$44,846, respectively. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had $133,656$149,533 and $150,910$146,647 of undistributed net investment income, respectively, and $180,020$205,647 and $73,555,$195,140, respectively, of accumulated capital losses on a tax basis.

The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income and itstax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount and prepayment fees recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains or deferred to future periods for tax purposes, the impact of consolidating certain subsidiaries for purposes of computing GAAP-basis net investment income but not for purposes of computingtax-basis net investment income and income recognized for tax purposes on certain transactions but not recognized for GAAP purposes.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Company’s distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders are reported to stockholders annually on Form1099-DIV.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(1)Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term losses. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains of $30,088 and $149,932, respectively.
(2)As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments and secured borrowing and gain on foreign currency was $281,629 and $226,121, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments and secured borrowing and loss on foreign currency was $190,421 and $270,134, respectively.

The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $3,824,726 and $3,780,294 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was $86,673 and $(53,478) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a deferred tax liability of $17,434 resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries and a deferred tax asset of $23,698 resulting from net operating losses of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017, certain wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries anticipated that they would be unable to fully utilize their generated net operating losses, therefore the deferred tax asset was offset by a valuation allowance of $6,264. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. This accounting guidance emphasizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company has elected the fair value option under ASC Topic 825,Financial Instruments, relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value for its secured borrowings which arose due to partial loan sales which did not meet the criteria for sale treatment under ASC Topic 860. The Company reports changes in the fair value of its secured borrowing as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on secured borrowing in the consolidated statements of operations. The net gain or loss reflects the difference between the fair value and the principal amount due on maturity.

The secured borrowing as of September 30, 2017 was valued using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s approach to determining fair value of the Level 3 secured borrowing is consistent with its approach to determining fair value of the Level 3 investments that are associated with the secured borrowing. See Note 2 and Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s secured borrowing.

The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that arewere acquired directly from the issuer. Debt investments, for which broker quotes are not available, are valued by independent valuation firms, which determine the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, expected cash flows, call features, anticipated repayments and other relevant terms of the debt.investments. Except as described below, all of the Company’s equity/other investments are also valued by independent valuation firms, which determine the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. An investment that is newly issued and purchased near the date of the financial statements is valued at cost if the Company’s board of directors determines that the cost of such investment is the best indication of its fair value. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements. Except as described above, the Company values its other investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which are provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services.

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers, as applicable, against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods, including the use of an independent valuation firm, to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers, or where the Company’s board of directors otherwise determines that the use of such other methods is appropriate. The Company periodically benchmarks the valuations provided by the independent valuation firms against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. The valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, and the board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy.

(1)Investments using a market quotes valuation technique were valued by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by independent third-party pricing services and screened for validity by such services. For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing an option valuation model valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the volatility, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(2)Fair value based on expected outcome of proposed corporate transactions and/or other factors.

As of September 30, 2017, $1,051March 31, 2018, $821 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense. In connection with issuing the 4.250% notes, the Company has charged discount costs against the carrying amount of such notes. As of September 30, 2017, $1,527March 31, 2018, $1,194 of such discount had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

4.750% Notes due 2022

On April 30, 2015, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into a third supplemental indenture to the base indenture relating to the Company’s issuance of $275,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% notes due 2022, or the 4.750% notes.

The 4.750% notes will mature on May 15, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time at the applicable redemption price set forth in the indenture. The 4.750% notes bear interest at a rate of

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (continued)

4.750% per year payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2015. The 4.750% notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.750% notes and rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.

In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the indenture, the Company will generally be required to make an offer to purchase the outstanding 4.750% notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and to provide financial information to the holders of the 4.750% notes and U.S. Bank if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the indenture.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the fair value of the 4.750% notes was approximately $286,271.$280,140. The Company incurred costs in connection with issuing the 4.750% notes, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the 4.750% notes. As of September 30, 2017, $312March 31, 2018, $279 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense. In connection with issuing the 4.750% notes, the Company has charged discount costs against the carrying amount of such notes. As of September 30, 2017, $2,193March 31, 2018, $1,957 of such discount had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

Partial Loan Sale

Certain partial loan sales do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 because these sales do not meet the definition of a participating interest, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain as an investment on the consolidated balance sheets and the portion sold is recorded as a secured borrowing in the liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheets. For these partial loan sales, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the buyer in the partial loan sale is recorded within interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2017 andDuring the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a secured borrowing at fair value of $2,891 and $2,880, respectively, and the fair value of the loan that is associated with2017, the secured borrowing was $15,080 and $14,993,

respectively. The secured borrowing was the result of the Company’s completion of a partial sale of a senior secured loan associated with one portfolio company that did not meet the definition of a participating interest. As a result, sale treatment was not allowed and the partial loan sale was treated as a secured borrowing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no new partial loan sales, fundings on revolving and delayed draw secured borrowings or repayments on secured borrowings.fully repaid.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management of FB Advisor has reviewed the Company’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Company to be remote.

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

(1)Per share data may be rounded in order to recompute the ending net asset value per share.
(2)The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period.
(3)The per share data for distributions reflect the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the applicable period.
(4)The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s DRP. The issuance of common stock at a price that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share. The per share impact of the Company’s DRP is an increase to the net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
(5)The per share impact of the Company’s repurchases of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
(6)

The total return based on net asset value for each period presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable period, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the period and dividing the total by the net asset

Total return based on net asset value does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The historical calculation of total return based on net asset value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return based on net asset value, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. As a result of

these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return calculations set forth above represent the total return on the Company’s investment portfolio during the applicable period and do not represent an actual return to stockholders.
(6)(7)The total return based on market value for each period presented was calculated based on the change in market price during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company’s DRP. Total return based on market value does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The historical calculation of total return based on market value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return based on market value, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets, general economic conditions and fluctuations in per share market value. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.
(7)(8)Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are annualized. Annualized ratios for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the ratios that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into the FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement, which replaced the FB Advisor investment advisory agreement. Pursuant to the FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement, FS/KKR Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, and equals 20.0% of the Company’s“pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Company’s net assets, equal to 1.75% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0%. As a result, FS/KKR Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75%. Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS/KKR Advisor will be entitled to a“catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals

Note 11. Subsequent Events (continued)

2.1875%, or 8.75% annually, of the value of the Company’s net assets. Thereafter, FS/KKR Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income.

The subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a cap equal to (i) 20.0% of the per sharepre-incentive fee return for the then-current and eleven preceding calendar quartersminusthe cumulative per share incentive fees accrued and/or payable for the eleven preceding calendar quartersmultiplied by(ii) the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the calendar quarter for which the subordinated incentive fee on income is being calculated. For the foregoing purpose, the “per sharepre-incentive fee return” for any calendar quarter is equal to (i) the sum of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income for the calendar quarter, realized gains and losses for the calendar quarter and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company’s investments for the calendar quarter and, for any calendar quarter ending prior to January 1, 2018, base management fees for the calendar quarter,divided by(ii) the weighted average number of shares outstanding during such calendar quarter. In addition, the “per share incentive fee” for any calendar quarter is equal to (i) the incentive fee accrued and/or payable for such calendar quarter divided by (ii) the weighted average number of shares outstanding during such calendar quarter.

The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. The Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Company accrues the incentive fee on capital gains based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, the fee payable to FS/KKR Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new administration agreement with FS/KKR Advisor, or the FS/KKR Advisor administration agreement, which replaced the FB Advisor administration agreement. Pursuant to the FS/KKR Advisor administration agreement, FS/KKR Advisor oversees the Company’sday-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative services. FS/KKR Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports for the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FS/KKR Advisor assists the Company in calculating its net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.

Pursuant to the FS/KKR Advisor administration agreement, the Company reimburses FS/KKR Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including FS/KKR Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to us on behalf of FS/KKR Advisor. The Company reimburses FS/KKR Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FS/KKR Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the FS/KKR Advisor administration agreement. FS/KKR Advisor allocates the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company’s board of directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Company and certain affiliates of FS/KKR Advisor. The Company’s board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to it based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company’s board of directors compares the total amount paid to FS/KKR Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on December 21, 2007 and formally commenced investment operations on January 2, 2009. We are an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

On April 16, 2014, shares of our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “FSIC”. This listing accomplished our goal of providing our stockholders with greatly enhanced liquidity.

Our investment activities are managed by FBFS/KKR Advisor and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent. Under the FS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement, we have agreed to pay FBFS/KKR Advisor an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance.

Our investment activities were managed by FB Advisor hasuntil April 9, 2018 and thereafter have been managed by FS/KKR Advisor. FB Advisor previously engaged GDFM to act as our investmentsub-adviser. GDFM assists FB Advisor in identifyingresigned as our investment opportunitiessub-adviser and makesterminated the investment recommendations for approval by FB Advisor according to guidelines set by FB Advisor.sub-advisory agreement on April 9, 2018.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We have identified and intend to focus on the following investment categories, which we believe will allow us to generate an attractive total return with an acceptable level of risk.

Direct Originations:We intend to leverage our relationships and our relationship with GDFM and its global sourcing and origination platform, including its industry relationships, to directly source investment opportunities. Such investments are originated or structured for us or made by us and are not generally available to the broader market. These investments may include both debt and equity components, although we do not generally make equity investments independent of having an existing credit relationship. We believe directly originated investments may offer higher returns and more favorable protections than broadly syndicated transactions.

Opportunistic:We intend to seek to capitalize on market price inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds and other securities where the market price of such investment reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by our fundamental analysis. We believe that market price inefficiencies may occur due to, among other things, general dislocations in the markets, a misunderstanding by the market of a particular company or an industry being out of favor with the broader investment community. We seek to allocate capital to these securities that have been misunderstood or mispriced by the market and where we believe there is an opportunity to earn an attractive return on our investment. Such opportunities may include event driven investments, anchor orders (i.e., opportunities that are originated and then syndicated by a commercial or investment bank but where we provide a capital commitment significantly above the average syndicate participant) and CLOs.

In the case of event driven investments, we intend to take advantage of dislocations that arise in the markets due to an impending event and where the market’s apparent expectation of value differs substantially from our fundamental analysis. Such events may include a looming debt maturity or default, a merger,spin-off or other corporate reorganization, an adverse regulatory or legal ruling, or a material contract expiration, any of which may significantly improve or impair a company’s financial position. Compared to other investment strategies, event driven investing depends more heavily on our ability to successfully predict the outcome of an individual event rather than on underlying macroeconomic fundamentals. As a result, successful event driven strategies may offer both substantial diversification benefits and the ability to generate performance in uncertain market environments.

We may also invest in anchor orders. In these types of investments, we may receive fees, preferential pricing or other benefits not available to other lenders in return for our significant capital commitment. Our decision to provide an anchor order to a syndicated transaction is predicated on a rigorous credit analysis, our familiarity with a particular company, industry or financial sponsor, and the broader investment experiences of FB Advisor and GDFM.our investment adviser.

In addition, we opportunistically invest in CLOs. CLOs are a form of securitization where the cash flow from a pooled basket of syndicated loans is used to support distribution payments made to different tranches of securities. While collectively CLOs represent nearly fifty percent of the broadly syndicated loan universe, investing in individual CLO tranches requires a high degree of investor sophistication due to their structural complexity and the illiquid nature of their securities.

Broadly Syndicated/Other:Although our primary focus is to invest in directly originated transactions and opportunistic investments, in certain circumstances we will also invest in the broadly syndicated loan and high yield markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our directly originated investments and provide a complement to our less liquid strategies. In addition, and because we typically receive more attractive financing terms on these positions than we do on our less liquid assets, we are able to leverage the broadly syndicated portion of our portfolio in such a way that maximizes the levered return potential of our portfolio.

Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private middle market U.S. companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which we may invest. We may purchase interests in loans or make other debt investments, including investments in senior secured bonds, through secondary market transactions in the“over-the-counter” market or directly from our target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase or otherwise acquire interests in the form of common or preferred equity or equity-related securities, such as rights and warrants that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or other equity or the cash value of common stock or other equity, in our target companies, generally in conjunction with one of our debt investments, including through the restructuring of such investments, or through aco-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, CLOs, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. FBFS/KKR Advisor will seek to tailor our investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, we may increase or decrease our exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments.

The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that we make generally have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such securities is generally between three and seven years. However, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security in our portfolio. Our debt investments may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organizationNRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or lower than“BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services). We also invest innon-rated debt securities.grade.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. In addition, we generate revenues in the form ofnon-recurring commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized as earned. We may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we hold.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the FS/KKR investment advisory agreement and the FS/KKR administration agreement, interest expense from financing facilities and other

indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for our operations. The management and incentive fees compensate FBFS/KKR Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FB Advisor is responsible for compensating our investmentsub-adviser.

FBFS/KKR Advisor oversees ourday-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative services. FBFS/KKR Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FBFS/KKR Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others.

Pursuant to the FS/KKR administration agreement, we reimburse FBFS/KKR Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including FBFS/KKR Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to us on behalf of FBFS/KKR Advisor. We reimburse FBFS/KKR Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FBFS/KKR Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the FS/KKR administration agreement. FBFS/KKR Advisor allocates the cost of such services to us based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Our board of directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to us and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among us and certain affiliates of FBFS/KKR Advisor. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to us based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of directors compares the total amount paid to FBFS/KKR Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by FBFS/KKR Advisor GDFM or us in connection with administering our business, including expenses incurred by FB Advisor or GDFM in performing administrative services for us and administrative personnel paid by FB Advisor or GDFM. For additional information regarding these expenses, see our annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.FS Investments and KKR Credit.

In addition, we have contracted with State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by FBFS/KKR Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, FS/KKR Advisor uses, and FB Advisor useshistorically used, an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. FS/KKR uses, and FB Advisor useshistorically used, an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

 

Investment
Rating
  

Summary Description

  1  Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.
  2  Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company’s business plan—full return of principal and interest expected.
  3  Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.
  4  Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.
  5  Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016:2017:

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

The decrease in interest income and increase in PIK interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily dueMarch 31, 2017 can be attributed to recent prepaymentsthe prepayment and restructuring of higher-yieldingcertain higher yielding assets during the three months ended September 30, 2017.into assets with a higher PIK paying component. The level of interest income we receive is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments, multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments.

The increase in PIK interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 was due primarily to the restructuring of several investments with PIK interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of amendment and consent fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and othernon-recurring fees. As such, fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees. The increasedecrease in fee income during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was primarily due to prepaymentsthe decrease of certain assetsstructuring and prepayment activity during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The increase in dividend income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to aone-time dividend paid in respect of one of our investments during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Cash flows related to suchnon-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized.

The decrease in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to recent prepayments of higher-yielding assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The level of interest income we receive is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments, multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments.

The increase in PIK interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due primarily to the restructuring of several investments with PIK interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The lower ratio of expenses to average net assets, excluding incentive fees and interest expense, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, can primarily be attributed to a decrease in legal fees, printing fees and administrative services fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and loan breakage fees associated with the partial paydown of the JPM Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had $178,991$215,057 in cash and foreign currency, which we or our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $261,369$260,392 in borrowings available under our financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had twentynineteen unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $176,450,$133,294, one unfunded commitment to purchase up to $295 in shares of preferred stock and one unfunded commitment to purchase up to $16$4 in shares of common stock. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

We currently generate cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. To seek to enhance our returns, we also employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of FBFS/KKR Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See “Financing Arrangements.”

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, including money market funds, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

See Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our financing arrangements.

RIC Status and Distributions

We have elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, each tax year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of a tax year or the due date of the tax return for such tax year, including extensions, distributions paid up to twelve months after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify for and maintain our RIC tax status each tax year. We are also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise taxes on certain undistributed income unless we make distributions in a timely manner to our stockholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses, or “capital gain net income” (adjusted

(adjusted for certain ordinary losses), for theone-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by us during October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following calendar year, will be treated as if it had been paid by us, as well as received by our U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions. If we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors, we intend to authorize, declare and pay regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis. We will calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each stockholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date that shares of our common stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. As previously announced by the Company, subject to market conditions, our board of directors currently intends to make a special distribution in the fourth quarter of 2018 that equates to the cumulative amount, if any, of net investment income earned during the twelve months following October 1, 2017 that is in excess of $0.76 per share. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.

During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 or 2017 or 2016 represented a return of capital.

We intend to continue to make our regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who receive their distributions in the form of shares of our common stock under the DRP. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared on our common stock during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016:2017:

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As we execute our operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. In connection with that determination, FBFS/KKR Advisor provides our board of directors with portfolio company valuations which are based on relevant inputs, including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and valuations prepared by independent third-party valuation services.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the FASB, clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as

the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

our quarterly fair valuation process begins with FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations may be obtained from an independent third-party valuation service, if applicable;

 

FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team then provides the valuation committee with the preliminary valuations for each portfolio company or investment;

 

preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee;

 

our valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team, together with our independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, supplement the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee;

 

following its review, the valuation committee will recommend that our board of directors approve our fair valuations; and

 

our board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of FBFS/KKR Advisor, the valuation committee and any independent third-party valuation services, if applicable.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, our board of directors may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, our board of directors is not required to determine fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information obtained from FBFS/KKR Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that our board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may consider when determining the fair value of our investments.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, we may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that may be considered include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing our debt investments.

For convertible debt securities, fair value generally approximates the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (i.e., the security into which the debt may convert) at the conversion price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

Our equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Our board of directors, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or our actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may also consider private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors,

valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate, due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/or the smaller size of portfolio companies relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as our board of directors, in consultation with FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available is based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.

The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of directors. Our board of directors is solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. Our board of directors has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing our valuation policy to FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team, and has authorized FBFS/KKR Advisor’s management team to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by our board of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing FBFS/KKR Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.

See Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on theex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such income. Our policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. We consider many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it fromnon-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that we will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will bewritten-off. Payments received onnon-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest.Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on our judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and we amortize such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we earnreceive such amounts.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,using the cumulative effect method applied toin-scope contracts with customers that have not been completed as of the date of adoption. We did not identify anyin-scope contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption and, as a result, we did not recognize a cumulative effect on stockholders’ equity in connection with the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance.

The new revenue recognition guidance applies to all entities and all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, excluding, among other things, financial instruments as well as certain other contractual rights and obligations. Under the new revenue recognition guidance, which we have applied to all newin-scope contracts as of the date of adoption, structuring and other upfront fees are recognized as revenue based on the transaction price as the performance obligation is fulfilled. The related performance obligation consists of structuring activities and is satisfied over time as such activities are performed. Consideration is variable and is constrained from being included in the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, typically as of the trade date of the related transaction. Payment is typically due on the settlement date of the related transaction.

Net Realized Gains or Losses, Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation and Net Change in Unrealized Gains or Losses on Foreign Currency

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in the value of receivables or accruals during the reporting period due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

We follow the guidance in ASC Topic 860 when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. This guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a participating interest, as defined in the

guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on our consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the participation or other partial loan sale meets the definition. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We evaluate our tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our significant accounting policies.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into agreements with FBFS/KKR Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under theFS/KKR Advisor investment advisory agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. FBFS/KKR Advisor and to the extent it is required to provide such services, GDFM, are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. See NoteNotes 4 and 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein and “—Related Party Transactions—Compensation of the Investment Adviser” for a discussion of these agreements and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under thesesimilar agreements with FB Advisor during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017.

Related Party Transactions

Compensation of the Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, FB Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 1.75% of the average value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. The investmentsub-advisory agreement provides that GDFM will receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FB Advisor under the investment advisory agreement with respect to each year. Pursuant to the administration agreement, we also reimburse FB Advisor and GDFM for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including FB Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments providing administrative services to us on behalf of FB Advisor.

See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our agreements with FB Advisor and our other related party transactions and relationships, including our potential conflicts of interest, exemptive relief order and our trademark license agreement with FS Investments.

 

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2017, 65.3%March 31, 2018, 69.2% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 21.0%18.4% paid fixed interest rates, 2.7%2.3% were income producing equity or other investments, and the remaining 11.0%10.1% consisted ofnon-income producing equity or other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to FBFS/KKR Advisor with respect to our increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Hamilton Street credit facility, ING credit facility and Locust Street credit facility, and secured borrowing arrangement, we borrow at a floating rate based on a benchmark interest rate. Under the indenture governing the 4.000% notes, the 4.250% notes and the 4.750% notes, we pay interest to the holders of such notes at a fixed rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding, or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our financing arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

(1)Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f)or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes fromInvesting in our securities involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this quarterly report on Form10-Q, investors should consider carefully the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017 and our additional filings with the SEC before making an investment in our securities. All of the risk factors identified in Item 1A of our annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 that relate to our former investment adviser, FB Advisor, are generally applicable to our current investment adviser, FS/KKR Advisor.

Risks Related to FS/KKR Advisor and Its Affiliates

There may be conflicts of interest related to obligations FS/KKR Advisor’s senior management and investment teams have to our affiliates and to other clients.

The members of the senior management and investment teams of FS/KKR Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, FS/KKR Advisor is the investment adviser to FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV, Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of FS/KKR Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in our best interests or in the best interest of our stockholders. Our investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For example, we rely on FS/KKR Advisor to manage ourday-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. FS/KKR Advisor and certain of its affiliates are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities which are unrelated to us. As a result of these activities, FS/KKR Advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of other entities affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit. FS/KKR Advisor and its employees will devote only as much of its or their time to our business as FS/KKR Advisor and its employees, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time.

 

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The table below provides information concerning purchasesIn February 2018, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, we may repurchase up to $50 million in the aggregate of our shares ofoutstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current net asset value per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, our stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program went into effect on March 28, 2018 and will be in effect through February 21, 2019, unless extended or on behalfuntil the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by our board of directors has been expended. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. As of May 9, 2018, we had repurchased a total of 3,324,358 shares our common stock at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $7.52 (totaling $25 million).

Repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program for the Company or any “affiliated purchaser,”periods below were as defined by Rule10b-18(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017.
