On January 15, 2025, FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (NYSE: FSCO) (the “Company”) entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell up to $150,000,000 of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”), from time to time through the Distributor, in transactions deemed to be “at the market” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Offering”). Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company may not sell any Common Shares at a price below the current net asset value of such Common Shares, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor may enter into sub-placement agent agreements with one or more selected dealers. The Distributor has entered into a sub-placement agent agreement, dated January 15, 2025 (the “Sub-Placement Agent Agreement”), with UBS Securities LLC (the “Sub-Placement Agent”) relating to the Common Shares to be offered under the Distribution Agreement. The Company will compensate the Distributor with respect to sales of Common Shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Company’s Common Shares. Out of this commission, the Distributor will compensate the Sub-Placement Agent at a rate of up to 0.80% of the gross sales proceeds of the sale of the Company’s Common Shares sold by the Sub-Placement Agent.
The Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated January 15, 2025 and the accompanying prospectus dated as of January 14, 2025, each of which constitute part of the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-284268) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
