MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Fellow Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend an Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FS Investment Corporation II (“FSIC II”) to be held on November 6, 2019 at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112 (together with any adjournments or postponements thereof, the “FSIC II Annual Meeting”).
The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this letter provide an outline of the business to be conducted at the FSIC II Annual Meeting. At the FSIC II Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon:
| i. | a proposal to approve the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2019, by and among FSIC II, FS Investment Corporation III (“FSIC III”), Corporate Capital Trust II (“CCT II”), FS Investment Corporation IV (“FSIC IV”), NT Acquisition 1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II (“Merger Sub 1”), NT Acquisition 2, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II (“Merger Sub 2”), NT Acquisition 3, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II (“Merger Sub 3”), and FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”) (such merger transactions, the “Mergers,” and such proposal, the “FSIC II Merger Proposal”); |
| ii. | the approval, by anon-binding, advisory vote, of the issuance to all holders of common stock of FSIC II following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s net asset value (the “Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal”); |
| iii. | the approval of three proposals which will collectively amend and restate FSIC II’s charter in connection with the Mergers to reflect amendments described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus to remove certain provisions required by the North American Securities Administrators Association Omnibus Guidelines regarding certain affiliate androll-up transactions (together, the “FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals”); |
| iv. | the approval of seven proposals which will collectively amend and restate FSIC II’s charter to reflect amendments described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, to conform more closely certain provisions in FSIC II’s charter to provisions in the charters of other business development companies whose securities are listed and publicly-traded on a national securities exchange (together, the “Listing Charter Amendment Proposals”); |
| v. | the approval of an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between FSIC II and the Advisor (the “FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement”), to (a) reduce the annual base management fee from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity and exclude cash and cash equivalents from the gross assets on which the annual base management fee is calculated, (b) amend the hurdle rate applicable to FSIC II’s payment of a subordinated incentive fee on income to be based on net assets rather than adjusted capital, (c) revise the definition ofpre-incentive net investment income to exclude interest expense and dividends paid on certain shares of preferred stock, (d) introduce a cap on subordinated incentive fees, (e) incorporate in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains the historical net realized losses and unrealized depreciation of FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV in addition to FSIC II and (f) implement certain other revisions to bring the investment advisory agreement of FSIC II in line with those of other listed business development companies (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal”); |
| vi. | the election of the following individuals as Class B Directors, each of whom has been nominated for election for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders: Todd C. Builione, Frederick Arnold, Michael J. Hagan and Jerel A. Hopkins (the “FSIC II Director Election Proposal”); and |
| vii. | the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 (the “FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal”). |
FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV are proposing a combination of the four companies by merger and related transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in which FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV would each first be merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and, immediately thereafter, be merged into FSIC II. First, Merger Sub 1 would merge with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company (FSIC III is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 1,” and such transaction, “Merger 1A”). Immediately following Merger 1A, in a subsequent combination, Surviving Company 1 would merge with and into FSIC II (“Merger 1B”), with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 1B. Following Merger 1B, Merger Sub 2 would merge with and into CCT II (“Merger 2A”), with CCT II as the surviving company in Merger 2A (CCT II is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 2”). Immediately after Merger 2A, Surviving Company 2 would merge with and into FSIC II (“Merger 2B”), with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 2B. Following Merger 2B, Merger Sub 3 would merge with and into FSIC IV (“Merger 3A”), with FSIC IV as the surviving company in Merger 3A (FSIC IV is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 3”). Immediately after Merger 3A, Surviving Company 3 would merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 3B and ultimate survivor of the Mergers. None of the Mergers will occur unless Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) occurs. For more information on the cross-conditionality of the Mergers, please see “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Mergers—Cross Conditionality” in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, if the Mergers are completed, each holder of common stock of FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers will have the right to receive, for each share of common stock held, that number of shares of common stock of FSIC II with a net asset value (“NAV”) equal to the NAV of a share of such common stock held, in each case calculated as of the same date within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Merger Consideration”). Holders of common stock of FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV will receive fractional shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares, at the discretion of FSIC II.
The value of the Merger Consideration will fluctuate with changes in the NAV of FSIC II.
Your vote is extremely important. At the FSIC II Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the (i) the FSIC II Merger Proposal, (ii) the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal, (iii) the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, (iv) the Listing Charter Amendment Proposals, (v) the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal, (vi) the FSIC II Director Election Proposal and (vii) the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal. Please see “The Annual Meetings” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the minimum votes required for approval of these proposals.
After careful consideration, the board of directors of FSIC II unanimously recommends that FSIC II stockholders vote “FOR” each of (i) the FSIC II Merger Proposal, (ii) the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal, (iii) the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, (iv) the Listing Charter Amendment Proposals, (v) the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal, (vi) the FSIC II Director Election Proposal and (vii) the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal.
It is important that your shares of common stock of FSIC II be represented at the FSIC II Annual Meeting. If you are unable to attend the FSIC II Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and promptly return it in the envelope provided. If you prefer, you can save time by voting through the Internet or by telephone as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card. If you do not vote, it may result in FSIC II not having a sufficient quorum ofone-third of outstanding common stock of FSIC II represented in person or by proxy at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and a meeting cannot be held unless a quorum is present.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus concisely describes the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the Mergers, the documents related to the Mergers (including the Merger Agreement) and other related matters that FSIC II stockholders ought to know before voting on the proposals mentioned herein and should be retained for future reference. Please carefully read this entire document, including “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22, for a discussion of the risks relating to the Mergers. You also can obtain information free of charge about FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV from documents that each has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for instructions on how to obtain such information.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Forman
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FS Investment Corporation II
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the shares of common stock of FSIC II to be issued under this joint proxy statement/prospectus or determined if this joint proxy statement/prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

| ii. | the approval, by anon-binding, advisory vote, of the issuance to all holders of common stock of FSIC II following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s net asset value (the “Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal”); |
| iii. | the approval of two proposals which will collectively amend CCT II’s declaration of trust in connection with the Mergers to reflect amendments described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus to remove certain provisions required by the North American Securities Administrators Association Omnibus Guidelines regarding certain affiliate androll-up transactions (together, the “CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals”); |
| iv. | the election of the following individuals as trustees, each of whom has been nominated for election for a one year term expiring at the 2020 annual meeting of the shareholders: Todd Builione, James H. Kropp, Mark D. Linsz and Thomas W. Morgan (the “CCT II Trustee Election Proposal”); and |
| v. | the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 (the “CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal”). |
FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV are proposing a combination of the four companies by merger and related transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in which FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV would each first be merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and, immediately thereafter, be merged into FSIC II. First, Merger Sub 1 would merge with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company (FSIC III is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 1,” and such transaction, “Merger 1A”). Immediately following Merger 1A, in a subsequent combination, Surviving Company 1 would merge with and into FSIC II (“Merger 1B”), with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 1B. Following Merger 1B, Merger Sub 2 would merge with and into CCT II, with CCT II as the surviving company in Merger 2A (CCT II is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 2”). Immediately after Merger 2A, Surviving Company 2 would merge with and into FSIC II (“Merger 2B”), with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 2B. Following Merger 2B, Merger Sub 3 would merge with and into FSIC IV (“Merger 3A”), with FSIC IV as the surviving company in Merger 3A (FSIC IV is sometimes referred to in such capacity as “Surviving Company 3”). Immediately after Merger 3A, Surviving Company 3 would merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II as the surviving company in Merger 3B and ultimate survivor of the Mergers. None of the Mergers will occur unless Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) occurs. For more information on the cross-conditionality of the Mergers, please see “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Mergers—Cross Conditionality” in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, if Merger 2A is completed, each holder of common stock of CCT II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of Merger 2A will have the right to receive, for each share of common stock held, that number of shares of common stock of FSIC II with a net asset value (“NAV”) equal to the NAV of a share of such common stock held, in each case calculated as of the same date within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “CCT II Merger Consideration”). Holders of common stock of FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV will receive fractional shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares, at the discretion of FSIC II.
The value of the CCT II Merger Consideration will fluctuate with changes in the NAV of FSIC II.
Your vote is extremely important. At the CCT II Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the (i) the CCT II Merger Proposal, (ii) the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal, (iii) the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals, (iv) the CCT II Trustee Election Proposal and (v) the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal. Please see “The Annual Meetings” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the minimum votes required for approval of these proposals.
After careful consideration, the board of trustees of CCT II unanimously recommends that CCT II shareholders vote “FOR” (i) the CCT II Merger Proposal, (ii) the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal, (iii) the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals, (iv) the CCT II Trustee Election Proposal and (v) the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal.
It is important that your shares of CCT II common stock be represented at the CCT II Annual Meeting. If you are unable to attend the CCT II Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and promptly return it in the envelope provided. If you prefer, you can save time by voting through the Internet or by telephone as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card. If you do not vote, it may result in CCT II not having a sufficient quorum ofone-third of outstanding CCT II common stock represented in person or by proxy at the CCT II Annual Meeting and a meeting cannot be held unless a quorum is present.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus concisely describes the CCT II Annual Meeting, the Mergers, the documents related to the Mergers (including the Merger Agreement) and other related matters that CCT II shareholders ought to know before voting on the CCT II Merger Proposal and should be retained for future reference. Please carefully read this entire document, including “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22, for a discussion of the risks relating to the Mergers. You also can obtain information free of charge about FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV from documents that each has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for instructions on how to obtain such information.

A: | No. You should follow the instructions provided by your broker on your voting instruction form. It is important to note that your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how you would like your shares to be voted at the applicable Annual Meeting. |
Q: | What constitutes a “quorum” for the Annual Meetings of the Fund Parties? |
A: | Under (i) the FSIC II Charter and the bylaws of FSIC II as currently in effect (the “FSIC II Bylaws”), (ii) the FSIC III Charter and the bylaws of FSIC III as currently in effect (the “FSIC III Bylaws”) and (iii) the FSIC IV Charter and the bylaws of FSIC IV as currently in effect (the “FSIC IV Bylaws”), the holders ofone-third of the number of shares of FSIC II, FSIC III or FSIC IV common stock entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. |
Under the CCT II Charter and the bylaws of CCT II as currently in effect (the “CCT II Bylaws”), the presence in person or by proxy of the stockholders of CCT II holding fifty percent of the outstanding shares of CCT II Common Stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
Abstentions will be treated as shares of common stock that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at each Fund Party’s Annual Meeting.
A “brokernon-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other institution or nominee holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner and present (in person or by proxy) at a meeting for purposes of voting on a routine proposal (or anon-routine
8
proposal for which it has received instructions from the beneficial owner) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares on a particular proposal and does not have, or chooses not to exercise, discretionary authority to vote the shares on such proposal. All of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meetings arenon-routine matters, other than the ratifications of the appointments of the independent registered public accounting firm, which are routine matters.
Because the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent public accounting firm of each Fund Party is a routine matter, if a beneficial owner does not instruct its broker, bank or other institution or nominee holding its shares of a Fund Party’s common stock on its behalf with respect to any of the proposals to be considered at the applicable Annual Meeting, such shares of common stock may still be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the applicable Annual Meeting.
In the event that a quorum is not present or if it appears that there are not enough votes to approve the proposals presented at the Annual Meetings of the FS Funds, the chairman of such Annual Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the such Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the record date originally fixed for such Annual Meeting without notice, other than the announcement at such Annual Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any business that might have been transacted at such Annual Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.
In the event that a quorum is not present or if it appears that there are not enough votes to approve the proposals presented at the CCT II Annual Meeting, the chairman of the CCT II Acquired Fund’s Annual Meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at the CCT II Annual Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the CCT II Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the record date originally fixed for the CCT II Annual Meeting without notice, other than the announcement at the CCT II Annual Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any business that might have been transacted at the CCT II Annual Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.
If sufficient votes in favor of one proposal have been received at the time of the any annual meeting, such proposal will be acted upon and such action will be final, regardless of any subsequent adjournments to consider other proposals.
Q: | What vote is required to approve each of the proposals at the Annual Meetings? |
A: | See “Annual Meetings—Vote Required” for a description of the votes required with respect to each of the proposals to be considered at each of the Annual Meetings. |
Q: | How will the final voting results be announced? |
A: | Preliminary voting results will be announced at each Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published by each of the Fund Parties in a current report on Form8-K filed by such Fund Party within four business days after the date of such Fund Party’s Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Will the Fund Parties incur expenses in soliciting proxies? |
A: | The expenses of the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meetings, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the applicable accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the proxy card, will be borne in accordance with the percentage equal to the quotient of (A) such Fund Party’s assets under management as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter divided (B) by the aggregate assets under management by FSIC II and each of the Acquired Funds calculated as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. The Fund Parties have requested that brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons holding shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, in their names, or in the name of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, forward the proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners. The Fund Parties will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in so doing. |
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited in person and by telephone or facsimile transmission by directors, officers or employees of each of the Fund Parties and their respective affiliates (without special compensation therefor). Each of the Fund Parties have also retained Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies, and it is expected that FSIC II will pay an estimated fee of approximately $355,000, FSIC III will pay an estimated fee of approximately $325,000, CCT II will pay an estimated fee of approximately $29,000 and FSIC IV will pay an estimated fee of approximately $59,000, plusout-of-pocket expenses.
For more information regarding expenses related to the Mergers, see “Questions and Answers about the Mergers—‘Who is responsible for paying the expenses relating to completing the Mergers?’”

Q: | What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card? |
A: | Some of your shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, may be registered differently or held in a different account. You should authorize a proxy to vote the shares in each of your accounts by mail, by telephone or via the Internet. If you mail proxy cards, please sign, date and return each proxy card to guarantee that all of your shares are voted. |
Q: | Are the proxy materials available electronically? |
A: | In accordance with regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Fund Parties have made the registration statement (of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part), the applicable Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the applicable proxy card available to stockholders of each of the Fund Parties on the Internet. Stockholders may (i) access and review the proxy materials of each of the Fund Parties, (ii) authorize their proxies, as described in “The Annual Meetings—Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures,” and/or (iii) elect to receive future proxy materials by electronic delivery, via the Internet address provided below. |
The registration statement (of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part), each Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and each proxy card are available at www.proxyvote.com.
Pursuant to the rules adopted by the SEC, each of the Fund Parties will furnish proxy materials by email to those stockholders who have elected to receive their proxy materials electronically. While each of the Fund Parties encourages its stockholders to take advantage of electronic delivery of proxy materials, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of stockholder meetings and the cost associated with the physical printing and mailing of materials, stockholders who have elected to receive proxy materials electronically by email, as well as beneficial owners of shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, held by a broker or custodian, may request a printed set of proxy materials.
Q: | Will my vote make a difference? |
A: | Yes. Your vote is needed to ensure the proposals can be acted upon. Your vote is very important. Your immediate response will help avoid potential delays and may save significant additional expenses associated with soliciting stockholder votes. |
Q: | Whom can I contact with any additional questions? |
A: | If you are a stockholder of any of the Fund Parties, you can contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at the below contact information with any additional questions: |

Questions and Answers about the Mergers
Q: | What will happen in the Mergers? |
A: | In the Mergers, each of the Acquired Funds will, through a series of transactions, merge with and into FSIC II. |
In Merger 1A, Merger Sub 1, a wholly owned subsidiary of FSIC II, will merge with and into FSIC III. FSIC III will be the surviving company of such merger. Immediately following such merger, FSIC III shall merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company. Merger 1A is a condition precedent to the other Mergers. Therefore, unless Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) occurs, none of the other Mergers will occur, even if approved by the applicable stockholders of FSIC II, CCT II and/or FSIC IV.
10
In Merger 2A, Merger Sub 2, a wholly owned subsidiary of FSIC II, will merge with and into CCT II. CCT II will be the surviving company of such merger. Immediately following such merger, CCT II shall merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company. Merger 2A is not a condition precedent to any other Merger.
In Merger 3A, Merger Sub 3, a wholly owned subsidiary of FSIC II, will merge with and into FSIC IV. FSIC IV will be the surviving company of such merger. Immediately following such merger, FSIC IV shall merge with and into FSIC II, with FSIC II continuing as the surviving company. Merger 3A is not a condition precedent to any other Merger.
Q: | What will stockholders of the Acquired Funds receive in the Mergers? |
A: | Each stockholder will be entitled to receive, for each share of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, that number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and, at the discretion of FSIC II, the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. |
Q: | Are the Exchange Ratios subject to any adjustment? |
A: | For each share of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, the applicable Exchange Ratio will only be adjusted if, between the date the applicable Exchange Ratio is calculated, which will be no more than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the Effective Time, and the Effective Time, the respective outstanding shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock shall have been increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period. Because the Exchange Ratios will be determined on the same date within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing of the Mergers, the time period during which such an adjustment could occur will be relatively short. |
Q: | Who is responsible for paying the expenses relating to completing the Mergers? |
A: | In general, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers shall be paid by the person incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Mergers are consummated. However, the Fund Parties shall bear the costs and expenses of printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Mergers and all other filings and fees in connection with any other filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) in accordance with the percentage equal to the quotient of (A) such Fund Party’s assets under management as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter divided (B) by the aggregate assets under management by FSIC II and each of the Acquired Funds calculated as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. See “Description of the Merger Agreement—Expenses and Fees.” It is anticipated that FSIC II will bear expenses of approximately $4.6 million in connection with the Mergers, FSIC III will bear expenses of approximately $3.3 million in connection with the Mergers, CCT II will bear expenses of approximately $0.2 million in connection with the Mergers and FSIC IV will bear expenses of approximately $0.5 million in connection with the Mergers. |
Q: | Will I receive dividends after the Mergers? |
A: | Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board, FSIC II currently declares cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays regular cash distributions to its stockholders on a monthly basis. However, following the closing of the Mergers, FSIC II may declare and pay regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis. For a history of the dividends and distributions paid by FSIC II, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition of FSIC II” and Note 5 to FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The amount and timing of past dividends and distributions are not a guarantee of any future dividends or distributions, or the amount thereof, the payment, timing and amount of which will be determined by the FSIC II Board and depend on FSIC II’s cash requirements, its financial condition and earnings, contractual restrictions, legal and regulatory considerations and other factors. See “FSIC II Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for additional information regarding FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan. |
No dividends or other distributions with respect to the FSIC II Common Stock will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of common stock of the Acquired Funds with respect to the shares of the FSIC II Common Stock represented thereby, in each case unless such shares are surrendered in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Following surrender of any such shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, the record holders of such shares of such common stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of
11
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of FSIC II Common Stock represented by such shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, respectively, and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of FSIC II Common Stock represented by such shares of common stock of the Acquired Funds, with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the FSIC II Common Stock issuable with respect to such shares of common stock of the Acquired Funds.
Q: | Are the Mergers subject to any third-party consents? |
A: | Under the Merger Agreement, each of the Fund Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain certain approvals. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Fund Parties believe that they have obtained all necessary third-party approvals other than applicable stockholder approvals necessary to consummate the Mergers. |
The Fund Parties have agreed to cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, in good faith, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, including to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, approvals, confirmations and authorizations of all third parties, in each case, that are necessary or advisable, to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, in the most expeditious manner practicable. There can be no assurance that any consents, approvals, confirmations or authorizations will be obtained or that such consents, approvals, confirmations or authorizations will not impose conditions or requirements that, individually or in the aggregate, would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined company following the Mergers.
Q: | How do the Fund Parties’ investment objectives and strategies differ? |
A: | The Fund Parties’ investment objectives and strategies are substantially identical. As a result of these commonalities, the Advisor does not anticipate any significant portfolio repositioning in connection with the Mergers. |
Q: | How do the distribution procedures, purchase procedures, redemption procedures and exchange rights of the Fund Parties differ from one another? |
A: | The Fund Parties have substantially identical distribution, purchase and redemption procedures. None of the Fund Parties offers exchange rights with respect to its common stock. FSIC II anticipates that the combined company will maintain the distribution, purchase and redemption procedures of FSIC II following the closing of the Mergers, in each case, subject to determination of the FSIC II Board and the Listing. For more information, see “Comparison of FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT and FSIC IV Distribution, Purchase and Redemption Procedures.” |
Q: | How will the combined company be managed following the Mergers? |
A: | The directors of FSIC II immediately prior to the Mergers shall remain the directors of FSIC II and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. The officers of FSIC II immediately prior to the Mergers shall remain the officers of FSIC II and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualify, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. Following the Mergers, the Advisor shall continue to be the investment adviser of the combined company pursuant to the existing FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement by and between FSIC II and the Advisor unless amended pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal. For more information regarding the directors and officers of FSIC II, see “Management of the Fund Parties.” |
Q: | Are stockholders of the Fund Parties able to exercise dissenters’ rights? |
A: | No. Fund Party stockholders will not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights to appraisal or other similar remedy with respect to any matter to be voted upon at such Fund Party’s Annual Meeting. Any stockholder may abstain from voting or vote against any of such matters. |
Q: | When do you expect to complete the Mergers? |
A: | While there can be no assurance as to the exact timing, or that the Mergers will be completed at all, the Fund Parties are working to complete the Mergers in the fourth quarter of 2019. It is currently expected that the Mergers will be completed promptly following receipt of the required stockholder approvals at the applicable Annual Meetings and satisfaction of the other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. |
12
Q: | Are the Mergers expected to be taxable to FSIC II stockholders? |
A: | No. The Mergers are not expected to be a taxable event for FSIC II stockholders. |
Q: | Are the Mergers expected to be taxable to the Acquired Funds’ stockholders? |
A: | No. Each Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization,” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and it is a condition to the Fund Parties’ respective obligations to complete the Mergers that each of them receives a legal opinion to that effect. The Acquired Funds’ stockholders are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of shares of their common stock for shares of FSIC II Common Stock pursuant to any of the Mergers, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of FSIC II Common Stock. The Acquired Funds’ stockholders should read the section captioned “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction” for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the Mergers to the Acquired Funds’ stockholders will depend on the particular tax situation of such stockholder.The Acquired Funds’ stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of the Mergers to them. |
Q: | What happens if the Mergers are not consummated? |
A: | If Merger 1A does not occur, none of the Mergers will occur and FSIC III’s stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II’s stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV’s stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of FSIC IV Common Stock. Instead, each of the Acquired Funds will remain an independent company. |
If Merger 2A does not occur, CCT II’s stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of CCT II Common Stock. Instead, CCT II will remain an independent company.
If Merger 3A does not occur, FSIC IV’s stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of FSIC IV Common Stock. Instead, FSIC IV will remain an independent company.
Q: | If I am a Fund Party stockholder, what happens if I sell my shares before such Fund Party’s Annual Meeting? |
A: | The Record Date is earlier than the date that the Mergers are expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of common stock after the Record Date but before such Fund Party’s Annual Meeting, you will retain your right to vote at such Annual Meeting, but will have transferred the right to receive shares of FSIC II Common Stock. In order to receive shares of FSIC II Common Stock for each share of such Fund Party’s common stock owned, you must hold your shares through completion of the Mergers. |
Questions and Answers about the Recapitalization Transaction
Q: | What is the Recapitalization Transaction, and why am I being asked to approve the Recapitalization Transaction? |
A: | Following the closing of the Mergers and subject to approval of the board of directors of the combined company, FSIC II currently intends to issue perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV to holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the Mergers. It is anticipated that the shares of preferred stock will have an annual preferred dividend of 5.5% (the “Recapitalization Transaction”). The liquidation preference of each share of Preferred Stock is anticipated to be $25.00. See “FSIC II Proposal 2: Approval on a Non-Binding Advisory Basis of the Issuance to all Holders of FSIC II Common Stock Following the Closing of the Mergers on a Pro Rata Basis of Shares of a New Class of Preferred Stock of FSIC II with an Aggregate Liquidation Preference Representing Approximately 20% of the Combined Company’s Net Asset Value” for additional information regarding the Recapitalization Transaction. |
Each of the Fund Parties is seeking a non-binding, advisory vote of its stockholders of the Recapitalization Transaction because the FSIC II Board is considering whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction following the closing of the Mergers and values the input of stockholders of each of the Fund Parties.
Q: | Will shares of Preferred Stock be listed on a national securities exchange? |
A: | Assuming the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, FSIC II expects to list the Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange at a future point following the listing of the FSIC II Common Stock. The timing of any such listing is subject to market conditions and other considerations, including the approval of the FSIC II Board. |
13
Q: | Will stockholders be able to transfer shares of Preferred Stock prior to a listing of the Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange |
A: | The shares of Preferred Stock issued in the Recapitalization Transaction are not expected to be registered at the time of issuance. Therefore, shares of Preferred Stock may only be resold pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or a valid exemption from registration. |
Q: | How frequently will shares of Preferred Stock pay dividends? |
A: | It is anticipated that dividends on shares of Preferred Stock will generally be payable quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31, as declared by the board of directors of the combined company. The combined company will not declare or pay distributions on its common stock unless the distributions have been declared and paid on the Preferred Stock. |
Q: | What is the expected tax treatment of the Preferred Stock? |
A: | The Fund Parties expect the dividends on the preferred shares will be reported as ordinary income onForm 1099-DIV. For more information regarding the tax treatment of the Preferred Stock, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences related to the Recapitalization Transaction.” |
Q: | How was the anticipated distribution rate for the Preferred Stock determined? |
A: | Together with the Advisor, the Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, and their financial advisor conducted a competitor and market review. |
While there are limited comparables in the BDC sector, there is a well-developed and liquid market for $25.00 par preferred stock securities, including in the property real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and mortgage REIT sectors. The analysis covered a broad range of issuers as well as structures, including fixed and floating rate securities, and issuance sizes.
The combined company’s expected distribution rate takes into account the results of the competitor analysis as well as the preferred dividend required to achieve the objective of aligning the dividend yield on the combined company’s common shares to a competitive level with the largest publicly traded BDCs.
Questions and Answers about the Listing
Q: | The FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals contemplate a potential Listing. When will a Listing occur? |
A: | FSIC II intends to pursue a Listing following the Recapitalization Transaction. However, no assurance can be made regarding the timing of the Listing, or that the Listing will occur at all. The Listing remains subject to the existence of satisfactory market conditions, as determined by FSIC II, and the final approval of the FSIC II Board. Even if the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals are approved by the stockholders and adopted by FSIC II, the Listing remains subject to market conditions. |
Q: | Does FSIC II intend to seek a reduction of the asset coverage ratio applicable to FSIC II from 200% to 150% in connection with the Listing? |
A: | The Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCA Act”), among other things, amended Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act to add a new Section 61(a)(2) which reduces the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% (i.e. $1 of debt for investment purposes outstanding for each $1 of investor equity) to 150% (i.e. $2 of debt for investment purposes outstanding for each $1 of investor equity), so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure and approval requirements. Section 61(a)(2) provides that before the reduced asset coverage requirements are effective with respect to a BDC, the application of that section of the 1940 Act to such BDC must be approved by either (1) a “required majority,” as defined in the Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act, of such BDC’s board of directors or (2) a majority of votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present. FSIC II currently intends to seek at some point in the future a vote from its stockholders to reduce the asset coverage ratio applicable to FSIC II to 150% pursuant to the SBCA Act, but does not plan to hold a stockholder meeting on such a proposal until after the Listing. |

The Parties to the Mergers
FS Investment Corporation II
FS Investment Corporation III
Corporate Capital Trust II
FS Investment Corporation IV
201 Rouse Boulevard
Philadelphia, PA 19112
(215)495-1150
FSIC II was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) on July 13, 2011, and formally commenced investment operations on June 18, 2012. FSIC III was incorporated under the MGCL on June 7, 2013, and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. CCT II was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014, and formally commenced investment operations on March 1, 2016. FSIC IV was incorporated under the MGCL on February 25, 2015, and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016.
Each of the Fund Parties is an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company. The Fund Parties have each elected to be regulated as BDCs under the 1940 Act and have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under the Subchapter M of the Code.
The investment objectives of each Fund Party are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Fund Parties pursue their investment objectives by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates.
The Fund Parties’ portfolios are 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 the Fund Parties do not expect a significant portion of their portfolios to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which they may invest. The Fund Parties 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 target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with debt investments, the Fund Parties may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. The Fund Parties 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 target companies, generally in conjunction with one of the Fund Party’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 a Fund Party’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor the investment focus of each Fund Party (including FSIC II following the Mergers) as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, the Fund Parties may increase or decrease their exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower valuation than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which the Fund Parties invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that the Fund Parties make generally have stated
15
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 the Fund Parties’ portfolios. The Fund Parties’ debt investments may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). The Fund Parties also invest innon-rated debt securities.
Below is a chart comparing each of the Fund Parties before the Mergers with FSIC II as the surviving company following the Mergers:

Merger Structure
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at Effective Time 1A, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III. FSIC III will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of Effective Time 1A, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 will cease. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 1A, and in accordance with the MGCL, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate corporate existence of FSIC III will cease and all outstanding shares of FSIC III Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration shall be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at Effective Time 2A, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CCT II. CCT II will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 2A, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate existence of CCT II will cease and all outstanding shares of CCT II Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration will be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.
17
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at Effective Time 3A, Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into FSIC IV. FSIC IV will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 3A, FSIC IV will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate existence of FSIC IV will cease and all outstanding shares of FSIC IV Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration will be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.
Based on the number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock issued and outstanding and the NAVs of each of the Fund Parties as of March 31, 2019, at the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing Date”), and assuming the closing of each merger on the Closing Date, it is expected that FSIC II stockholders will own approximately 49.4% of the outstanding FSIC II Common Stock, former FSIC III stockholders will own approximately 42.3% of the outstanding FSIC II Common Stock, former CCT II stockholders will own approximately 2.0% of the outstanding FSIC II Common Stock and former FSIC IV stockholders will own approximately 6.3% of the outstanding FSIC II Common Stock. The Exchange Ratio is calculated based on the NAV per share of each of the Fund Parties’ common stock, each as of the Determination Date. Following the Mergers, it is anticipated that the combined company will continue its operations as conducted before the Mergers.
The Merger Agreement is attached asAnnex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Fund Parties encourage their respective stockholders to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the principal legal document governing the Mergers.
Merger Consideration
If the Mergers are consummated, each FSIC III stockholder, CCT II stockholder and FSIC IV stockholder will be entitled to receive, for each share of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, that number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock with a NAV equal to the NAV of a share of CCT II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, in each case calculated as of the Determination Date. Holders of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock will receive fractional shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares, at the discretion of FSIC II.
After the Determination Date and until the Mergers are completed, NAV of the shares of FSIC II Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers will continue to fluctuate but the number of shares to be issued to FSIC III stockholders, CCT II stockholders and FSIC IV stockholders will remain fixed.
Comparative Price of Securities
The following table presents the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC IV Common Stock and CCT II Common Stock as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019:

Risks Relating to the Proposed Mergers
The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to, among others, the following risks. FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV stockholders should carefully consider these risks before deciding how to vote on the proposals to be voted on at their respective Annual Meeting.
| • | | Merger 1A is a condition precedent to Merger 2A and Merger 3A. Therefore, unless Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) occurs, none of the other Mergers will occur, even if approved by the applicable stockholders of FSIC II, CCT II and/or FSIC IV. However, Merger 2A and Merger 3A are not conditions to the other mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As a result, it is possible that certain, but not all, of the Mergers will occur. |
| • | | Because the NAV of FSIC II Common Stock will fluctuate, the Acquired Funds’ stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the Merger Consideration they will receive until the Effective Time. |
| • | | Each of the Fund Parties’ stockholders will experience a reduction in percentage ownership and voting power in the combined company as a result of the Mergers. |
18
| • | | FSIC II may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Mergers, including estimated cost savings, or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits. |
| • | | The Mergers may trigger certain “change of control” provisions and other restrictions in contracts of each of the Fund Parties or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact the combined company. |
| • | | If the Mergers do not close, none of the Fund Parties will benefit from the expenses incurred in pursuit of the Mergers. |
| • | | Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact each of the Fund Parties. |
| • | | The Merger Agreement limits the ability of each of the Fund Parties to pursue alternatives to the Mergers. |
| • | | The Mergers are subject to closing conditions, including stockholder approvals, that, if not satisfied or waived, will result in the Mergers not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to the Fund Parties’ business and operations. |
| • | | Each of the Fund Parties will be subject to operational uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Mergers are pending. |
| • | | Each of the Fund Parties may waive one or more conditions to the Mergers without resoliciting stockholder approval. |
| • | | The shares of FSIC II Common Stock to be received by the Acquired Funds’ stockholders as a result of the Mergers will have different rights associated with them than shares of common stock of the Acquired Funds currently held by them. |
| • | | Following a Listing, the market price of FSIC II Common Stock after the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those affecting FSIC II Common Stock currently, including a larger stockholder base, a different portfolio composition and a different capital structure. |
See the section captioned “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers” below for a more detailed discussion of these factors.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers
The Mergers are each intended to qualify as a “reorganizations,” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and it is a condition to each Fund Party’s obligations to complete the Mergers that each of them receives a legal opinion to that effect. Accordingly, the Mergers are not expected to be a taxable event for FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes as to the shares of FSIC II Common Stock they receive in the Mergers.
The Acquired Funds’ stockholders should read the section captioned “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction” for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the Mergers to the Acquired Funds’ stockholders will depend on their particular tax situation. Holders of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of the Mergers to them.
The Mergers are not expected to be a taxable event for FSIC II stockholders.

Completion of the Mergers
As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement, the completion of the Mergers depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. In particular, Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) is a condition precedent to Merger 2A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and CCT II) and Merger 3A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC IV) and, therefore, unless Merger 1A occurs, none of the other Mergers will occur. For information on the conditions that must be satisfied or waived for the Mergers to occur, see “Description of the Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing the Mergers.” While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the Mergers will be completed at all, the Fund Parties are working to complete the Mergers in the fourth quarter of 2019. It is currently expected that the Mergers will be completed promptly following receipt of the required stockholder approvals at the Annual Meetings and satisfaction of the other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Termination of the Mergers
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of the Fund Parties, each of which is discussed below in “Description of the Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement.”
20
Reasons for the Merger
The boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, including the independent directors or independent trustees, as applicable, of each Fund Party consulted with its management, investment adviser, legal, financial and other advisors and considered numerous factors and, as a result, the boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, including the independent directors or independent trustees, as applicable, determined that the Mergers are in such Fund Party’s best interests and the best interests of such Fund Party’s stockholders, and that such Fund Party’s stockholders will not suffer any economic dilution as a result of the Mergers.
Certain material factors considered by the boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, including the independent directors or independent trustees, as applicable, of each Fund Party, favored the conclusion of the boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, that the Mergers are in each of the Fund Parties’ best interests and the best interests of such Fund Party’s stockholders included, among others:
| • | | the investment strategies and risks of the Fund Parties; |
| • | | the continuity of the Advisor and management team; |
| • | | an expected reduction in general and administrative expenses; |
| • | | that there would be no economic dilution to the Fund Parties’ stockholders; |
| • | | the combined company’s portfolio diversification and asset mix; |
| • | | the combined company’s market positioning following the Mergers and future optionality; and |
| • | | the tax consequences of the Mergers. |
The foregoing list does not include all the factors that the Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, considered in approving the proposed Mergers and the Merger Agreement and recommending that such Fund Party’s stockholders approve the proposals relating to the Mergers. For a further discussion of the material factors considered by the FS Funds’ boards of directors, see “The Mergers—Reasons for the Mergers.”
The Fund Parties’ Stockholders Do Not Have Dissenters’ Rights
None of the Fund Parties’ stockholders will be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights to appraisal or similar remedy in connection with the Mergers under the laws of the State of Maryland, or, with respect to CCT II, the State of Delaware.
21
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information included in this document, stockholders should carefully consider the matters described below in determining whether to approve (i) in the case of FSIC II stockholders, the FSIC II Annual Meeting Proposals, (ii) in the case of FSIC III stockholders, the FSIC III Annual Meeting Proposals, (iii) in the case of CCT II stockholders, the CCT II Annual Meeting Proposals and (iv) in the case of FSIC IV stockholders, the FSIC IV Annual Meeting Proposals. The risks set out below are not the only risks the Fund Parties and, following the Mergers, the combined company, face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Fund Parties or that they currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect their or, following the Mergers, the combined company’s, business, financial condition or operating results. If any of the following events occur, the Fund Parties or, following the Mergers, the combined company’s, business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Relating to the Mergers
Because the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock will fluctuate, the Acquired Funds’ common stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the Merger Consideration they will receive until the Closing Date.
The value of the Merger Consideration may vary from the value on the date the Mergers were announced, on the date that this joint proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to stockholders, on the date of the Annual Meetings and on the date the Mergers are completed and thereafter. Any change in the value of FSIC II Common Stock prior to completion of the Mergers will affect the value of the Merger Consideration that Acquired Funds’ stockholders will receive upon completion of the Mergers.
Accordingly, at the time of the FSIC III Annual Meeting, the CCT II Annual Meeting and the FSIC IV Annual Meeting, the Acquired Funds’ stockholders will not know or be able to calculate the value of the Merger Consideration they would receive upon completion of the Mergers. None of the Fund Parties are permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement or resolicit the vote of their respective stockholders solely because of changes in the value of shares of FSIC II Common Stock. There will be no adjustment to the Merger Consideration for changes in the value of shares of FSIC II Common Stock. Changes in the value of FSIC II Common Stock may result from a variety of factors, including, among other things, (i) changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs or BDCs; (ii) loss of RIC or BDC status; (iii) changes in earnings or variations in operating results; (iv) changes in the value of their portfolio of investments; (v) changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of their investments; (vi) any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors; (vii) departure of their investment adviser or certain of its key personnel; (viii) general economic trends and other external factors; and (ix) loss of a major funding source. These factors are generally beyond the control of FSIC II. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for other factors that could cause the value of FSIC II Common Stock to change.
Stockholders of the Fund Parties will experience a reduction in percentage ownership and voting power in the combined company as a result of the Mergers.
Stockholders of the Fund Parties will experience a substantial reduction in their respective percentage ownership interests and effective voting power in respect of the combined company relative to their respective percentage ownership interests in the Fund Parties prior to the Mergers. Consequently, stockholders of the Fund Parties should expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of the combined company following the Mergers than they currently exercise over the management and policies of the applicable Fund Party or Fund Parties.
If each of the Mergers is consummated, based on the number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock issued and outstanding on March 31, 2019, the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, each as of March 31, 2019, it is expected that FSIC II stockholders will own approximately 49.4% of the outstanding stock of the combined company, FSIC III stockholders will own approximately 42.3% of the outstanding stock of the combined company, CCT II stockholders will own approximately 2.0% of the outstanding stock of the combined company and FSIC IV stockholders will own approximately 6.3% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. In addition, both prior to and after completion of the Mergers, subject to certain restrictions in the Merger Agreement and stockholder approval, FSIC II may issue additional shares of FSIC II Common Stock (including, subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act, at prices below FSIC II Common Stock’s then current NAV per share), all of which would further reduce the percentage ownership of the combined company held by former FSIC III stockholders, CCT II stockholders, FSIC IV stockholders and current FSIC II stockholders. In addition, the issuance or sale by FSIC II of shares of FSIC II Common Stock at a discount to NAV poses a risk of dilution to stockholders.
22
FSIC II may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Mergers, including estimated cost savings, or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.
The realization of certain benefits anticipated as a result of the Mergers will depend in part on the integration of the Acquired Funds’ investment portfolios with FSIC II’s and the integration of the Acquired Funds’ business with FSIC II’s. There can be no assurance that the Acquired Funds’ investment portfolios or businesses can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into FSIC II’s operations in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from theday-to-day business of the combined company and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including, but not limited to, incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of the Acquired Funds’ investment portfolios to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the combined company.
FSIC II also expects to achieve certain cost savings from the Mergers when the four companies have fully integrated their portfolios. It is possible that the estimates of the potential cost savings could ultimately be incorrect. The cost savings estimates also assume FSIC II will be able to combine the operations of the Acquired Funds with its operations in a manner that permits those cost savings to be fully realized. If the estimates turn out to be incorrect or if FSIC II is not able to successfully combine the Acquired Funds’ investment portfolios or businesses with the operations of FSIC II, the anticipated cost savings may not be fully realized or realized at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
The Mergers may trigger certain “change of control” provisions and other restrictions in contracts of the Fund Parties or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact the combined company.
Certain agreements of the Fund Parties or their affiliates will or may require by their terms the consent or waiver of one or more counterparties in connection with the Mergers. The failure to obtain any such consent or waiver may permit such counterparties to terminate, or otherwise increase their rights or any of the Fund Parties’ obligations under, any such agreement because the Mergers or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may violate an anti-assignment, change of control or similar provision relating to any of such transactions. If this occurs, FSIC II may have to seek to replace that agreement with a new agreement or seek an amendment to such agreement. The Fund Parties cannot assure you that FSIC II will be able to replace or amend any such agreement on comparable terms or at all.
If any such agreement is material, the failure to obtain consents, amendments or waivers under, or to replace on similar terms or at all, any of these agreements could adversely affect the financial performance or results of operations of the combined company following the Mergers, including preventing FSIC II from operating a material part of the Acquired Funds’ businesses.
In addition, the consummation of the Mergers may violate, conflict with, result in a breach of provisions of, or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation (including any payment obligation) under, certain agreements of one or more of the Fund Parties. Any such violation, conflict, breach, loss, default or other effect could, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined company following completion of the Mergers.
If one or more of the Mergers do not close, certain of the Fund Parties will not benefit from the expenses incurred in its pursuit.
One or more of the Mergers may not be completed. If one or more of the Mergers are not completed, the applicable Fund Parties will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. Each of the Fund Parties has incurredout-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Mergers for investment banking, legal and accounting fees and financial printing and other related charges, much of which will be incurred even if one or more of the Mergers are not completed.
The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact each of the Fund Parties.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including: (i) the Fund Parties’ businesses may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Mergers, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Mergers, and (ii) in the case of the Acquired Funds, they may not be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the price FSIC II agreed to pay in the Mergers.
23
The Merger Agreement limits the Acquired Funds’ ability to pursue alternatives to the Mergers.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit the Acquired Funds’ ability to discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of such Fund Party. These provisions, which are typical for transactions of this type, might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Acquired Funds from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market price than that proposed in the Mergers or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire one or more of the Acquired Funds, as applicable, than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.
The Mergers are subject to closing conditions, including the occurrence of Merger 1A and the required stockholder approvals, that, if not satisfied or waived, will result in the Mergers not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to the Fund Parties’ business and operations.
The Mergers are subject to closing conditions, including the occurrence of Merger 1A and certain approvals of the Fund Parties’ respective stockholders that, if not satisfied, will prevent the Mergers from being completed. The closing condition that each of the Acquired Funds’ stockholders approve the Mergers and the Merger Agreement and that each Fund Party approve the applicable Merger Amendment Charter Proposals may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the Mergers to be completed. The Fund Parties each currently expect that all of their directors and executive officers will vote their shares of common stock in favor of the proposals presented at the annual meeting of each Fund Party. If the Fund Parties’ stockholders do not approve the required stockholder matters and the Mergers are not completed, the resulting failure of the Mergers could have a material adverse impact on the Fund Parties’ businesses and operations.
The Fund Parties will be subject to operational uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Mergers are pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Mergers may have an adverse effect on each of the Fund Parties and, consequently, on the combined company following completion of the Mergers. These uncertainties may impair each of the Fund Parties’ abilities to motivate key personnel until the Mergers are consummated and could cause those that deal with each of the Fund Parties to seek to change their existing business relationships with the Fund Parties. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts each of the Fund Parties from taking actions that they might otherwise consider to be in their best interests. These restrictions may prevent the Fund Parties from pursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Mergers. Please see the section entitled “Description of the Merger Agreement—Conduct of Business Pending Completion of the Mergers” for a description of the restrictive covenants to which each of the Fund Parties is subject.
The Fund Parties may waive one or more conditions to the Mergers without resoliciting stockholder approval.
Certain conditions to the Fund Parties’ obligations to complete the Mergers may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent legally allowed, either unilaterally or by agreement of the Fund Parties. In the event that any such waiver does not require resolicitation of stockholders, the parties to the Merger Agreement will have the discretion to complete the Mergers without seeking further stockholder approval. The conditions requiring the approval of each Fund Party’s stockholders, however, cannot be waived.
The value of FSIC II Common Stock after the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those affecting FSIC II Common Stock currently.
The businesses of each of the Fund Parties differ in some respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the value of FSIC II Common Stock after the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of the Fund Parties. These factors include:
| • | | a larger stockholder base; |
| • | | a different portfolio composition; and |
| • | | a different capital structure. |
Accordingly, the financial results of FSIC II may not be indicative of these matters for the combined company following the Mergers. For a discussion of the business of each of the Fund Parties and of certain factors to consider in connection with their businesses, see “Business of the Fund Parties.” As described elsewhere in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the risks associated with an investment in each of the Fund Parties are substantially identical.
24
If the Recapitalization Transaction occurs, stockholders may not be able to resell shares of preferred stock of FSIC II issued in the Recapitalization Transaction because there is not expected to be an established market for such securities, and, in any case, such securities may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference.
The shares of FSIC II preferred stock which would be issued in the Recapitalization Transaction are expected to be illiquid assets for which there is not a secondary market. While FSIC II contemplates that at some point following a Listing, FSIC II will seek to list the shares of preferred stock on a national securities exchange, any such listing is not guaranteed and remains subject to market conditions and approval by the FSIC II Board.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the preferred stock or that any trading market that does develop will be liquid. Even if an active trading market for the preferred stock does develop, the preferred stock may trade at a significant discount compared to more liquid securities. In addition, if the preferred stock is listed, the shares of preferred stock may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, and FSIC II’s financial and operating performance, among other factors.
Risks Related to Economic Conditions
Future disruptions or instability in capital markets could negatively impact the valuation of the Fund Parties’ investments and their ability to raise capital.
From time to time, the global capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability, which could be prolonged and which could materially and adversely impact the broader financial and credit markets, have a negative impact on the valuations of the Fund Parties’ investments and reduce the availability of debt and equity capital. For example, between 2008 and 2009, instability in the global capital markets resulted in disruptions in liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, there-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major domestic and international financial institutions. In particular, the financial services sector was negatively impacted by significant write-offs as the value of the assets held by financial firms declined, impairing their capital positions and abilities to lend and invest.
While most of the Fund Parties’ investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require them to assume as part of their valuation process that such investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if the Fund Parties plan on holding an investment through its maturity) and impairments of the market values or fair market values of their investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in their financial statements for the applicable period, which could result in significant reductions to their NAV for the period. With certain limited exceptions, the Fund Parties are only allowed to borrow amounts or issue debt securities if their asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. Equity capital may also be difficult to raise during periods of adverse or volatile market conditions because, subject to some limited exceptions, as BDCs, the Fund Parties are generally not able to issue additional shares of their common stock at a price less than NAV without first obtaining approval for such issuance from the Fund Parties’ stockholders and independent directors or trustees, as applicable. If the Fund Parties are unable to raise capital or refinance existing debt on acceptable terms, then the Fund Parties may be limited in their ability to make new commitments or to fund existing commitments to their portfolio companies. Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of the Fund Parties’ investment activity and the potential for liquidity events involving their investments. Thus, the illiquidity of the Fund Parties’ investments may make it difficult for them to sell such investments to access capital if required, and as a result, they could realize significantly less than the value at which the Fund Parties have recorded their investments if they were required to sell them for liquidity purposes.
Uncertainty with respect to the financial stability of the United States and several countries in the European Union could have a significant adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties.
In August 2011, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+,” which was last affirmed by S&P in June 2018. Moody’s and Fitch Ratings, Inc. have also warned that they may downgrade the U.S. federal government’s credit rating. In addition, the economic downturn and the significant government interventions into the financial markets and fiscal stimulus spending over the last several years have contributed to significantly increased U.S. budget deficits. The U.S. government has on several occasions adopted legislation to suspend the federal debt ceiling to allow the U.S. Treasury Department to issue additional debt. Further downgrades or warnings by S&P or other rating agencies, and the U.S. government’s credit and deficit concerns in general, including issues around the federal debt ceiling, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact both the perception of credit risk associated with the Fund Parties’ debt portfolio and their ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. Furthermore, in February 2014, the Federal
25
Reserve began scaling back its bond-buying program, or quantitative easing, which it ended in October 2014. Quantitative easing was designed to stimulate the economy and expand the Federal Reserve’s holdings of long-term securities until key economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate, showed signs of improvement. The Federal Reserve also raised interest rates several times since the fourth quarter of 2015. To the extent the Federal Reserve continues to raise rates, and without quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, there is a risk that the debt markets may experience increased volatility and that the liquidity of certain of the Fund Parties’ investments may be reduced. It is unclear what other effects, if any, the end of quantitative easing, future interest rate raises, if any, and the pace of any such raises will have on the value of the Fund Parties’ investments or their ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms.
In 2010, a financial crisis emerged in Europe, triggered by high budget deficits and rising direct and contingent sovereign debt in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which created concerns about the ability of these nations to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. In January 2012, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating for France, Italy, Spain and six other European countries, which has negatively impacted global markets and economic conditions. In addition, in April 2012, S&P further lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating for Spain. While the financial stability of such countries has improved, risks resulting from any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar crisis could have a detrimental impact on the global economic recovery, sovereign andnon-sovereign debt in these countries and the financial condition of U.S. and European financial institutions. Furthermore, following the United Kingdom’s referendum to leave the European Union, (the “EU”), S&P lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating. Market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, could negatively impact the global economy, and there can be no assurance that assistance packages will be available, or if available, will be sufficient to stabilize countries and markets in Europe. To the extent uncertainty regarding any economic recovery in Europe negatively impacts consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt and home prices, or other credit factors, the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties could be significantly and adversely affected.
The Fund Parties may invest in European companies and companies that have operations that may be affected by the Eurozone economy.
The Fund Parties may invest in European companies and companies that have operations that may be affected by the Eurozone economy. For example, concerns regarding the sovereign debt of various Eurozone countries and proposals for investors to incur substantial write-downs and reductions in the face value of certain countries’ sovereign debt have given rise to new concerns about sovereign defaults, particularly following the vote by the United Kingdom to leave the EU, and the possibility that one or more further countries might leave the EU or the Eurozone and various proposals for support of affected countries and the Euro as a currency. The outcome of this situation cannot yet be predicted. Sovereign debt defaults and EU and/or Eurozone exits, could have material adverse effects on the Fund Parties’ investments in European companies, including, but not limited to, the availability of credit to support such companies’ financing needs, uncertainty and disruption in relation to financing, customer and supply contracts denominated in the Euro and wider economic disruption in markets served by those companies, while austerity and other measures introduced in order to limit or contain these issues may themselves lead to economic contraction and resulting adverse effects for the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties. It is possible that a number of the Fund Parties’ investments will be denominated in the Euro. Greece, Ireland and Portugal received one or more “bailouts” from other members of the EU. Although several countries in the Eurozone have agreed to multi-year bailout loans with the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, it is unclear how much additional funding these countries, or other Eurozone countries, will require. Legal uncertainty about the funding of Euro denominated obligations following any breakup or exits from the Eurozone (particularly in the case of investments in companies in affected countries) could also have material adverse effects on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties.
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted, via referendum, to exit from the EU, triggering political, economic and legal uncertainty. While such uncertainty most directly affects the United Kingdom and the EU, global markets suffered immediate and significant disruption. On March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom made a formal notification to the European Council under Article 50 of the Treaty on EU, which triggered a two year period during which the terms of an exit will be negotiated. The United Kingdom and the EU are therefore in a period of legal, regulatory and political uncertainty. The United Kingdom’s exit from the EU will impact the Fund Parties and their investments (and their underlying issuers) in a variety of ways, not all of which are currently readily apparent immediately following the exit vote. The Fund Parties may invest in portfolio companies and other issuers with significant operations and/or assets in the United Kingdom, any of which could be adversely impacted by any new legal, tax and regulatory environment, whether by increased costs or impediments to the implementation of their business plan. Further, the vote by the United Kingdom to leave the EU may increase the likelihood of similar referenda in other member states of the EU, which could result in additional departures from the EU and may trigger steps by countries within the United Kingdom to leave the United Kingdom. The uncertainty resulting from any such developments, or the possibility of such
26
developments, would also be likely to cause significant market disruption in the EU and the United Kingdom and more broadly across the global economy, as well as introduce further legal, tax and regulatory uncertainty in the EU and the United Kingdom.
Economic sanction laws in the United States and other jurisdictions may prohibit the Fund Parties and their affiliates from transacting with certain countries, individuals and companies.
Economic sanction laws in the United States and other jurisdictions may prohibit the Fund Parties and their affiliates from transacting with certain countries, individuals and companies. In the United States, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control administers and enforces laws, executive orders and regulations establishing U.S. economic and trade sanctions, which prohibit, among other things, transactions with, and the provision of services to, certainnon-U.S. countries, territories, entities and individuals. These types of sanctions may significantly restrict or completely prohibit investment activities in certain jurisdictions, and if the Fund Parties or their portfolio companies or other issuers in which they invest were to violate any such laws or regulations, the Fund Parties may face significant legal and monetary penalties.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and other anti-corruption laws and regulations, as well as anti-boycott regulations, may also apply to and restrict the Fund Parties’ activities, their portfolio companies and other issuers of the Fund Parties’ investments. If an issuer or the Fund Parties were to violate any such laws or regulations, such issuer or the Fund Parties may face significant legal and monetary penalties. The U.S. government has indicated that it is particularly focused on FCPA enforcement, which may increase the risk that an issuer or the Fund Parties become the subject of such actual or threatened enforcement. In addition, certain commentators have suggested that private investment firms and the funds that they manage may face increased scrutiny and/or liability with respect to the activities of their underlying portfolio companies. As such, a violation of the FCPA or other applicable regulations by the Fund Parties or an issuer of the Fund Parties’ portfolio investments could have a material adverse effect on them. The Fund Parties are committed to complying with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws and regulations, as well as anti-boycott regulations, to which it is subject. As a result, the Fund Parties may be adversely affected because of its unwillingness to enter into transactions that violate any such laws or regulations.
Future economic recessions or downturns could impair the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies and harm their operating results.
Many of the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay the Fund Parties’ debt investments during these periods. Therefore, the Fund Parties’non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of each of the Fund Parties’ portfolios is likely to decrease during these periods. Adverse economic conditions may also decrease the value of any collateral securing the Fund Parties’ debt investments. A prolonged recession may further decrease the value of such collateral and result in losses of value in the Fund Parties’ portfolios and a decrease in the Fund Parties’ revenues, net income and NAV. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase each of the Fund Parties’ funding costs, limit their access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund Parties on terms they deem acceptable. These events could prevent the Fund Parties from increasing investments and harm their operating results. Economic downturns or recessions may also result in a portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Fund Parties or other lenders, which could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its assets representing collateral for its obligations, which could trigger cross defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the Fund Parties’ portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt that the Fund Parties hold and the value of any equity securities the Fund Parties own. The Fund Parties may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company.
A prolonged continuation of depressed oil and natural gas prices could negatively impact the energy and power industry and energy-related investments within the Fund Parties’ investment portfolios.
Prices for oil and natural gas, which historically have been volatile and may continue to be volatile, may be subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas. A prolonged continuation of depressed oil and natural gas prices would adversely affect the credit quality and performance of certain of the Fund Parties’ debt and equity investments in energy and power and related companies. A decrease in credit quality and performance would, in turn, negatively affect the fair value of these investments, which would consequently negatively affect each of the Fund Parties’ NAV. Should a prolonged period of depressed oil and natural gas prices occur, the ability of certain of the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies in the energy and power and related industries to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Fund Parties or other lenders may be adversely affected, which could, in turn, negatively impact their financial condition and their ability to satisfy their debt service and other obligations. Likewise, should a prolonged period of depressed oil and natural gas prices occur, it is possible that the cash flow and profit generating capacity of these portfolio companies could also be adversely affected thereby negatively impacting their ability to pay the Fund Parties dividends or distributions on the Fund Parties’ investments.

Risks Related to the Fund Parties’ Business and Structure
The Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives depends on the Advisor’s ability to manage and support the Fund Parties’ investment process and if their agreements with the Advisor were to be terminated, or if the Advisor loses any members of its senior management team, the Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives could be significantly harmed.
Because the Fund Parties have no employees, they depend on the investment expertise, skill and network of business contacts of the Advisor. The Advisor evaluates, negotiates, structures, executes, monitors and services the Fund Parties’ investments. Their future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of the Advisor as well as its senior management team. The departure of any members of the Advisor’s senior management team could have a material adverse effect on the Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives.
The Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives depends on the Advisor’s ability to identify, analyze, invest in, finance and monitor companies that meet their investment criteria. The Advisor’s capabilities in structuring the investment process, providing competent, attentive and efficient services to the Fund Parties, and facilitating access to financing on acceptable terms depend on the employment of investment professionals in an adequate number and of adequate sophistication to match the corresponding flow of transactions. To achieve the Fund Parties’ investment objectives, the Advisor may need to hire, train, supervise and manage new investment professionals to participate in their investment selection and monitoring process. The Advisor may not be able to find investment professionals in a timely manner or at all. Failure to support the Fund Parties’ investment processes could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties.
In addition, the Fund Parties’ respective investment advisory and administrative services agreements have termination provisions that allow the parties to terminate the agreement without penalty. Each Fund Party’s investment advisory and administrative services agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Advisor, upon 60 days’ notice to any of the Fund Parties. If the investment advisory and administrative services agreement of a Fund Party is terminated, it may adversely affect the quality of the Fund Parties’ investment opportunities. In addition, in the event such agreement is terminated, it may be difficult for the Fund Parties to replace the Advisor and the termination of such agreement may adversely impact the terms of any existing or future financing arrangement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund Parties’ business and financial condition.
The Advisor is a recently-formed investment adviser with a limited track record of acting as an investment adviser to BDCs, and any failure by the Advisor to manage and support the Fund Parties’ investment process may hinder the achievement of their investment objectives.
The Advisor is a recently-formed investment adviser jointly operated by an affiliate of FS Investments and KKR Credit with limited prior experience acting as an investment adviser to BDCs. The 1940 Act and the Code impose numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs that do not apply to other investment vehicles. While both affiliates of FS Investments and KKR Credit have individually acted as investment advisers to BDCs previously, the Advisor’s limited experience in managing a portfolio of assets under the constraints of the 1940 Act and the Code may hinder the Advisor’s ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, may adversely affect the Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives. FS Investments’ and KKR Credit’s individual track records and achievements are not necessarily indicative of the future results they will achieve as a joint investment adviser. Accordingly, the Fund Parties can offer no assurance that they will replicate the historical performance of other investment companies with which FS Investments and KKR Credit have been affiliated, and the Fund Parties caution that their investment returns could be lower than the returns achieved by such other companies.
Because the Fund Parties’ business model depends to a significant extent upon relationships with private equity sponsors, investment banks and commercial banks, the inability of the Advisor to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect the Fund Parties’ business.
If the Advisor fails to maintain its existing relationships with private equity sponsors, investment banks and commercial banks on which it relies to provide the Fund Parties with potential investment opportunities, or develop new relationships with other sponsors or sources of investment opportunities, the Fund Parties may not be able to grow their investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom the Advisor has relationships generally are not obligated to provide the Fund Parties with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate investment opportunities for the Fund Parties.
28
The Fund Parties may face increasing competition for investment opportunities, which could delay deployment of their capital, reduce returns and result in losses.
The Fund Parties compete for investments with other BDCs and investment funds (including private equity funds, mezzanine funds and CLO funds), as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Moreover, alternative investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, have begun to invest in areas in which they have not traditionally invested, including making investments in middle market private U.S. companies. Furthermore, the potentially changing regulatory landscape as a result of the presidential administration may increase the number of middle-market investors. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities in middle market private U.S. companies may intensify. Many of the Fund Parties’ competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Fund Parties do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to the Fund Parties. In addition, some of the Fund Parties’ competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than the Fund Parties have. These characteristics could allow the Fund Parties’ competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than the Fund Parties are able to do. The Fund Parties may lose investment opportunities if the Fund Parties do not match their competitors’ pricing, terms and structure. If the Fund Parties are forced to match their competitors’ pricing, terms and structure, the Fund Parties may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on their investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. A significant part of the Fund Parties’ competitive advantage stems from the fact that the market for investments in middle market private U.S. companies is underserved by traditional commercial banks and other financial sources. A significant increase in the number and/or the size of the Fund Parties’ competitors in this target market could force the Fund Parties to accept less attractive investment terms. Furthermore, many of the Fund Parties’ competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on the Fund Parties as BDCs.
The Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, may change their operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval.
The Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, have the authority to modify or waive the Fund Parties’ current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval. Moreover, the Fund Parties have significant investment flexibility within the Fund Parties’ investment strategies. Therefore, the Fund Parties may invest their assets in ways with which investors may not agree. The Fund Parties also cannot predict the effect any changes to their current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies would have on each of the Fund Parties’ business, NAV, operating results and the value of each of the Fund Parties’ stock. However, the effects might be adverse, which could negatively impact the Fund Parties’ ability to pay stockholders distributions and cause them to lose all or part of their investment. Notwithstanding the potential Listing described herein, there can be no assurance that shares of common stock of any Fund Party, including FSIC II, will be listed on a national securities exchange in the near term or at all. Therefore, stockholders may continue to be limited in their ability to sell their shares in response to any changes in the Fund Parties’ investment policies, operating policies, investment criteria or strategies.
Changes in laws or regulations governing the Fund Parties’ operations or the operations of the Fund Parties’ business partners may adversely affect the Fund Parties’ businesses or cause the Fund Parties to alter their business strategy.
The Fund Parties, their portfolio companies and their business partners are subject to regulation at the local, state and federal level. New legislation may be enacted or new interpretations, rulings or regulations could be adopted, including those governing the types of investments the Fund Parties are permitted to make and the deductibility of interest expense by the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies, potentially with retroactive effect. In particular, over the last several years there has been an increase in regulatory attention to the extension of credit outside of the traditional banking sector, raising the possibility that some portion of thenon-bank financial sector will be subject to new regulation. New or repealed legislation, interpretations, rulings or regulations could require changes to certain business practices of the Fund Parties or their portfolio companies, negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Fund Parties or their portfolio companies, impose additional costs on the Fund Parties or their portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect the Fund Parties’ business or the business of their portfolio companies. In addition, any changes to the laws and regulations governing the Fund Parties’ operations, including with respect to permitted investments, may cause the Fund Parties to alter their investment strategies to avail themselves of new or different opportunities or make other changes to the Fund Parties’ business. Such changes could result in material differences to the Fund Parties’ strategies and plans as set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and may result in each of the Fund Parties’ investment focuses shifting from the areas of expertise of the Advisor to other types of investments in which the Advisor may have less expertise or little or no experience. Thus, any such changes, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on the Fund Parties’ results of operations and the value of a stockholder’s investment.
29
The impact on the Fund Parties of recent financial reform legislation, including the Dodd-Frank Act, is uncertain.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), made broad changes to the“over-the-counter” (“OTC”) derivatives market, granted significant new authority to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, and the SEC to regulate OTC derivatives (swaps and security-based swaps) and participants in these markets. The Dodd-Frank Act is intended to regulate the OTC derivatives market by requiring many derivative transactions to be cleared and traded on an exchange, expanding entity registration requirements, imposing business conduct requirements on dealers and requiring banks to move some derivatives trading units to anon-guaranteed affiliate separate from the deposit-taking bank or divest them altogether. The CFTC has implemented mandatory clearing and exchange-trading of certain OTC derivatives contracts including many standardized interest rate swaps and credit default index swaps. The CFTC continues to approve contracts for central clearing. Exchange-trading and central clearing are expected to reduce counterparty credit risk by substituting the clearinghouse as the counterparty to a swap and increase liquidity, but exchange-trading and central clearing do not make swap transactions risk-free. Uncleared swaps, such asnon-deliverable foreign currency forwards, are subject to certain margin requirements that mandate the posting and collection of minimum margin amounts. This requirement may result in the portfolio and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for uncleared swaps than would otherwise be the case. Certain rules require centralized reporting of detailed information about many types of cleared and uncleared swaps. Reporting of swap data may result in greater market transparency, but may subject a portfolio to additional administrative burdens, and the safeguards established to protect trader anonymity may not function as expected. Future CFTC or SEC rulemakings to implement the Dodd-Frank Act requirements could potentially limit or completely restrict the Fund Parties’ abilities to use these instruments as a part of the Fund Parties’ investment strategy, increase the costs of using these instruments or make them less effective. Limits or restrictions applicable to the counterparties with which the Fund Parties engage in derivative transactions could also prevent the Fund Parties from using these instruments or affect the pricing or other factors relating to these instruments, or may change availability of certain investments. The SEC has also indicated that it may adopt new policies on the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Such policies could affect the nature and extent of the Fund Parties’ use of derivatives.
The presidential administration has announced its intention to repeal, amend or replace certain portions of the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations implemented thereunder. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which and whether the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented, repealed, amended or replaced, the full impact such requirements will have on the Fund Parties’ business, results of operations or financial condition is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act or any changes to the regulations already implemented thereunder may require the Fund Parties to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes in order to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any such laws, regulations or principles, or changes thereto, may negatively impact the Fund Parties’ business, results of operations and financial condition. While the Fund Parties cannot predict what effect any changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on the Fund Parties as a result of recent financial reform legislation, these changes could be materially adverse to the Fund Parties and their stockholders.
Regulations adopted by prudential regulators have begun to require that certain qualified financial contracts entered into with certain counterparties that are part of a U.S. or foreign banking organization designated as a global-systemically important banking organization to include contractual provisions that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, such as the portfolio, to exercise certainclose-out, cross-default and similar rights under certain conditions. Qualified financial contracts include agreements relating to swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and other derivatives. Qualified financial contracts are subject to a stay for a specified time period during which counterparties, such as the portfolio, will be prevented from closing out a qualified financial contract if the counterparty is subject to resolution proceedings and prohibit the portfolio from exercising default rights due to a receivership or similar proceeding of an affiliate of the counterparty. Implementation of these requirements may increase credit and other risks to the portfolio.
The SBCA Act allows the Fund Parties to incur additional leverage.
On March 23, 2018, the SBCA Act became law. The SBCA Act, among other things, amends Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act to add a new Section 61(a)(2) which reduces the asset coverage requirements for senior securities applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% provided that certain disclosure and approval requirements are met. Before the reduced asset coverage requirements under Section 61(a)(2) are effective with respect to the Fund Parties, the application of that section of the 1940 Act must be approved by either (1) a “required majority,” as defined in the Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act, of the Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, or (2) a majority of votes cast at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. As a result, the Fund Parties may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future, and, therefore the risk of an investment in them may increase.
30
Future legislation or rules could modify how the Fund Parties treat derivatives and other financial arrangements for purposes of the Fund Parties’ compliance with the leverage limitations of the 1940 Act.
Future legislation or rules may modify how the Fund Parties treat derivatives and other financial arrangements for purposes of the Fund Parties’ compliance with the leverage limitations of the 1940 Act. For example, the SEC proposed a new rule in December 2015 that is designed to enhance the regulation of the use of derivatives by registered investments companies and BDCs. While the adoption of the December 2015 rule is currently uncertain, the proposed rule, if adopted, or any future legislation or rules, may modify how leverage is calculated under the 1940 Act and, therefore, may increase or decrease the amount of leverage currently available to the Fund Parties under the 1940 Act, which may be materially adverse to them and their stockholders.
As public companies, the Fund Parties are subject to regulations not applicable to private companies, such as provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Efforts to comply with such regulations will involve significant expenditures, andnon-compliance with such regulations may adversely affect the Fund Parties.
As public companies, the Fund Parties incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other rules implemented by the SEC. The Fund Parties’ management teams are required to report on their internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. In particular, the Fund Parties’ management teams are required to review on an annual basis their internal control over financial reporting, and on a quarterly and annual basis to evaluate and disclose changes in their internal control over financial reporting. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also generally requires an attestation from their independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting.
The Fund Parties incur significant expenses in connection with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulations applicable to public companies, which may negatively impact the Fund Parties’ financial performance and their ability to make distributions. Compliance with such regulations also requires a significant amount of the Fund Parties’ managements’ time and attention. For example, the Fund Parties cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of their Sarbanes-Oxley mandated evaluations, testings and remediation actions, if any, or the impact of the same on the Fund Parties’ operations, and the Fund Parties may not be able to ensure that the process is effective or that their internal control over financial reporting is or will be deemed effective in the future. In the event that the Fund Parties are unable to maintain an effective system of internal control and maintain compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules, the Fund Parties may be adversely affected.
The Fund Parties may experience fluctuations in their quarterly results.
The Fund Parties could experience fluctuations in their quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including their ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet their investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities the Fund Parties acquire, the level of their expenses, variations in and the timing of fee income and the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Fund Parties encounter competition in their 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.
If the Fund Parties, their affiliates and each of their respective third-party service providers are unable to maintain the availability of electronic data systems and safeguard the security of data, the Fund Parties’ ability to conduct business may be compromised, which could impair their liquidity, disrupt their business, damage their reputation or otherwise adversely affect their business.
Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes, and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack, or damage. The Fund Parties, their affiliates and their respective third-party service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cybersecurity risks have significantly increased in recent years and, while the Fund Parties have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, they could suffer such losses in the future. The Fund Parties, their affiliates and their respective third-party service providers’ computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund Parties’ operations or the operations of their affiliates and each of their respective third-party service providers. This could
31
result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Fund Parties. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund Parties may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify their protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks.
Risks Related to the Advisor and its Affiliates
The Advisor and its affiliates, including the Fund Parties’ officers and some of their directors or trustees, as applicable, face conflicts of interest as a result of compensation arrangements between the Fund Parties and the Advisor, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of the Fund Parties’ stockholders.
The Advisor and its affiliates receive substantial fees from the Fund Parties in return for their services, and these fees could influence the advice provided to the Fund Parties. The Fund Parties pay to the Advisor an incentive fee that is based on the performance of each of their portfolios and an annual base management fee that is based on the average weekly value of each of their gross assets. Because the incentive fee is based on the performance of each of the Fund Parties’ portfolios, the Advisor may be incentivized to make investments on the Fund Parties’ behalf that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which the incentive fee is determined may also encourage the Advisor to use leverage to increase the return on the Fund Parties’ investments. In addition, because the base management fee is based upon the average weekly value of each of the Fund Parties’ gross assets, which includes any borrowings for investment purposes, the Advisor may be incentivized to recommend the use of leverage or the issuance of additional equity to make additional investments and increase the average weekly value of each of the Fund Parties’ gross assets. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which could disfavor holders of the Fund Parties’ common stock. The Fund Parties’ compensation arrangements could therefore result in their making riskier or more speculative investments, or relying more on leverage to make investments, than would otherwise be the case. This could result in higher investment losses, particularly during cyclical economic downturns.
A Fund Party may be obligated to pay the Advisor incentive compensation even if it incurs a net loss due to a decline in the value of its portfolio, or on income that it has not received.
The Fund Parties’ respective investment advisory and administrative services agreements entitle the Advisor to receive incentive compensation on income regardless of any capital losses. In such case, a Fund Party may be required to pay the Advisor incentive compensation for a fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of its portfolio or if it incurs a net loss for that quarter.
In addition, any incentive fee payable by a Fund Party that relates to its net investment income may be computed and paid on income that may include interest that has been accrued but not yet received. If a portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously included in the calculation of the incentive fee will become uncollectible. The Advisor is not under any obligation to reimburse the Fund Parties for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued income that the Fund Parties never received as a result of a default by an entity on the obligation that resulted in the accrual of such income, and such circumstances would result in their paying an incentive fee on income the Fund Parties never received.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund Parties are required to recognize taxable income (such as deferred interest that is accrued as original issue discount) in some circumstances in which the Fund Parties do not receive a corresponding payment in cash and to make distributions with respect to such income to maintain their status as RICs. Under such circumstances, the Fund Parties may have difficulty meeting the Annual Distribution Requirement (as defined below) necessary to maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code. This difficulty in making the required distribution may be amplified to the extent that the Fund Parties are required to pay an incentive fee with respect to such accrued income. As a result, the Fund Parties may have to sell some of their investments at times and/or at prices the Fund Parties would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital, or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If a Fund Party is not able to obtain cash from other sources, they may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
There may be conflicts of interest related to obligations the Advisor’s senior management and investment teams have to the Fund Parties’ affiliates and to other clients.
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Fund Parties do, or of investment vehicles
32
managed by the same personnel. For example the Advisor is also the investment adviser to FSK and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Fund Parties’ best interests or in the best interest of their stockholders. The Fund Parties’ investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For example, the Fund Parties rely on the Advisor to manage theirday-to-day activities and to implement their investment strategy. The Advisor and certain of its affiliates are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities which are unrelated to the Fund Parties. As a result of these activities, the Advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between the Fund Parties and other activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of other entities affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit. The Advisor and its employees will devote only as much of its or their time to the Fund Parties’ business as the Advisor and its employees, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time.
The time and resources that individuals employed by the Advisor devote to the Fund Parties may be diverted and the Fund Parties may face additional competition due to the fact that individuals employed by the Advisor are not prohibited from raising money for or managing another entity that makes the same types of investments that the Fund Parties target.
Neither the Advisor nor persons providing services to the Fund Parties on behalf of the Advisor, are prohibited from raising money for and managing another investment entity that makes the same types of investments as those the Fund Parties target. As a result, the time and resources that these individuals may devote to the Fund Parties may be diverted. In addition, the Fund Parties may compete with any such investment entity for the same investors and investment opportunities.
The Advisor’s liability is limited under the investment advisory and administrative services agreements with each of the Fund Parties, and the Fund Parties are required to indemnify it against certain liabilities, which may lead it to act in a riskier manner on the Fund Parties’ behalf than it would when acting for its own account.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreements with each of the Fund Parties, the Advisor and its officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with, or acting on behalf of, the Advisor will not be liable to the Fund Parties for their acts under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their duties. The Fund Parties have each agreed to indemnify, defend and protect the Advisor and its officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with, or acting on behalf of, the Advisor with respect to all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from acts of the Advisor not arising out of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their duties under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. These protections may lead the Advisor to act in a riskier manner when acting on the Fund Parties’ behalf than it would when acting for its own account.
Risks Related to Business Development Companies
Failure to maintain the Fund Parties’ status as BDCs would reduce their operating flexibility.
If the Fund Parties do not remain BDCs, they might be regulated as aclosed-end investment company under the 1940 Act, which would subject them to substantially more regulatory restrictions under the 1940 Act and correspondingly decrease their operating flexibility.
The Fund Parties are uncertain of their sources for funding their future capital needs and if they cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, or at all, their ability to acquire investments and to expand their operations will be adversely affected.
Any working capital reserves the Fund Parties maintain may not be sufficient for investment purposes, and the Fund Parties may require debt or equity financing to operate. The Fund Parties may also need to access the capital markets to refinance existing debt obligations to the extent maturing obligations are not repaid with cash flows from operations. In order to maintain RIC tax treatment, each of the Fund Parties must distribute distributions to their stockholders each tax year on a timely basis generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of each of their investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, and the amounts of such distributions will therefore not be available to fund investment originations or to repay maturing debt. In addition, with certain limited exceptions, the Fund Parties are only allowed to borrow amounts or issue debt securities or preferred stock, which each of the Fund Parties refer to collectively as “senior
33
securities,” such that their asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing, which, in certain circumstances, may restrict their ability to borrow or issue debt securities or preferred stock. In the event that the Fund Parties develop a need for additional capital in the future for investments or for any other reason, and the Fund Parties cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, or at all, their ability to acquire investments and to expand their operations will be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund Parties would be less able to allocate their portfolios among various issuers and industries and achieve their investment objectives, which may negatively impact their results of operations and reduce their ability to make distributions to their stockholders.
The requirement that the Fund Parties invest a sufficient portion of their assets in qualifying assets could preclude them from investing in accordance with their current business strategy; conversely, the failure to invest a sufficient portion of their assets in qualifying assets could result in their failure to maintain their status as BDCs.
As BDCs, the Fund Parties may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time of such acquisition, at least 70% of their total assets are qualifying assets. Therefore, the Fund Parties may be precluded from investing in what the Fund Parties believe are attractive investments if such investments are not qualifying assets. Similarly, these rules could prevent the Fund Parties from making additional investments in existing portfolio companies, which could result in the dilution of their position, or could require the Fund Parties to dispose of investments at an inopportune time to comply with the 1940 Act. If the Fund Parties were forced to sellnon-qualifying investments in the portfolio for compliance purposes, the proceeds from such sale could be significantly less than the current value of such investments. Conversely, if the Fund Parties fail to invest a sufficient portion of their assets in qualifying assets, the Fund Parties could lose their status as BDCs, which would subject the Fund Parties to substantially more regulatory restrictions and significantly decrease their operating flexibility.
Regulations governing the Fund Parties’ operation as BDCs and RICs will affect their ability to raise, and the way in which they raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on their growth.
As a result of the Fund Parties’ need to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement in order to maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund Parties may need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments. The Fund Parties may issue “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, including issuing preferred stock, borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, or issuing debt securities only in amounts such that their asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. The Fund Parties’ ability to issue certain other types of securities is also limited. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund Parties are also generally prohibited from issuing or selling their common stock at a price per share, after deducting underwriting commissions, that is below their NAV per share, without first obtaining approval for such issuance from their stockholders and their independent directors or trustees, as applicable. Compliance with these limitations on their ability to raise capital may unfavorably limit their investment opportunities. These limitations may also reduce the Fund Parties’ ability in comparison to other companies to profit from favorable spreads between the rates at which they can borrow and the rates at which they can lend.
In addition, because the Fund Parties incur indebtedness for investment purposes, if the value of their assets declines, they may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test under the 1940 Act, which would prohibit the Fund Parties from paying distributions and, as a result, could cause them to be subject to corporate-level tax on each of their income and capital gains, regardless of the amount of distributions paid. If the Fund Parties cannot satisfy the asset coverage test, they may be required to sell a portion of their investments and, depending on the nature of their debt financing, repay a portion of their indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.
The Fund Parties’ ability to enter into transactions with their affiliates is restricted.
The Fund Parties are prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of their affiliates without the prior approval of a majority of the independent members of their board of directors or trustees, as applicable, and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of any of the Fund Parties’ outstanding voting securities will be that particular Fund Party’s affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and the Fund Parties will generally be prohibited from buying or selling any securities from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of their respective board of directors or trustees, as applicable. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain “joint” transactions with certain of the Fund Parties’ affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of their board of directors or trustees, as applicable, and, in some cases, the SEC. In an order dated April 3, 2018, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Fund Parties, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with the Fund Parties’ respectiveco-investment affiliates. If a person acquires more than 25% of any of the Fund Parties’ voting securities, the Fund Parties will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such person or certain of that person’s affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons to the extent not covered by the exemptive
34
relief, absent the prior approval of the SEC. Similar restrictions limit the Fund Parties’ ability to transact business with their officers or directors or their respective affiliates. As a result of these restrictions, the Fund Parties may be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a fund managed by the Advisor without the prior approval of the SEC, which may limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to them.
Risks Related to the Fund Parties’ Investments
The Fund Parties’ investments in prospective portfolio companies may be risky, and they could lose all or part of their investment.
The Fund Parties’ investments in senior secured loans, second lien secured loans, senior secured bonds, subordinated debt and equity of private U.S. companies, including middle market companies, may be risky and there is no limit on the amount of any such investments in which the Fund Parties may invest.
Senior Secured Loans, Second Lien Secured Loans and Senior Secured Bonds. There is a risk that any collateral pledged by portfolio companies in which the Fund Parties have taken a security interest may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. To the extent a Fund Party’s debt investment is collateralized by the securities of a portfolio company’s subsidiaries, such securities may lose some or all of their value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the portfolio company. Also, in some circumstances, a Fund Party’s security interest may be contractually or structurally subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the debt. Secured debt that is under-collateralized involves a greater risk of loss. In addition, second lien secured debt is granted a second priority security interest in collateral, which means that any realization of collateral will generally be applied to pay senior secured debt in full before second lien secured debt is paid. Consequently, the fact that debt is secured does not guarantee that the Fund Parties will receive principal and interest payments according to the debt’s terms, or at all, or that the Fund Parties will be able to collect on the debt should they be forced to enforce their remedies.
Subordinated Debt. The Fund Parties’ subordinated debt investments will generally rank junior in priority of payment to senior debt and will generally be unsecured. This may result in a heightened level of risk and volatility or a loss of principal, which could lead to the loss of the entire investment. These investments may involve additional risks that could adversely affect the Fund Parties’ investment returns. To the extent interest payments associated with such debt are deferred, such debt may be subject to greater fluctuations in valuations, and such debt could subject the Fund Parties and their stockholders tonon-cash income. Because the Fund Parties will not receive any principal repayments prior to the maturity of some of their subordinated debt investments, such investments will be of greater risk than amortizing loans.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities. The Fund Parties may make select equity investments. In addition, in connection with their debt investments, the Fund Parties on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. The equity interests the Fund Parties receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, the Fund Parties may not be able to realize gains from their equity interests, and any gains that they do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses the Fund Parties experience.
Convertible Securities. The Fund Parties may invest in convertible securities, such as bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted into, or exchanged for, a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security’s governing instrument. If a convertible security held by the Fund Parties is called for redemption, it will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on the Fund Parties’ ability to achieve their investment objectives.
Structured Products. The Fund Parties may invest in structured products, which may include collateralized debt obligations, collateralized bond obligations, CLOs, structured notes and credit-linked notes. When investing in structured products, the Fund Parties may invest in any level of the subordination chain, including subordinated (lower-rated) tranches and residual interests (the lowest tranche). Structured products may be highly levered and therefore, the junior debt and equity tranches that the Fund Parties may invest in are subject to a higher risk of total loss and deferral or nonpayment of interest than the more senior tranches to which they are subordinated. In addition, the Fund Parties will generally have the right to receive payments only from the issuer or counterparty, and will generally not have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or entities. Furthermore, the investments the Fund Parties make in structured products are at times thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. As a result, investments in such structured products may be characterized as illiquid securities.
35
Non-U.S. Securities. The Fund Parties may invest innon-U.S. securities, which may include securities denominated in U.S. dollars or innon-U.S. currencies and securities of companies in emerging markets, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Because evidences of ownership of such securities usually are held outside the United States, the Fund Parties would be subject to additional risks if the Fund Parties invested innon-U.S. securities, which include possible adverse political and economic developments, seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits and adoption of governmental restrictions which might adversely affect or restrict the payment of principal and interest on thenon-U.S. securities to investors located outside the country of the issuer, whether from currency blockage or otherwise.
Becausenon-U.S. securities may be purchased with and payable in foreign currencies, the value of these assets as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations. In addition, investing in securities of companies in emerging markets involves many risks, including potential inflationary economic environments, regulation by foreign governments, different accounting standards, political uncertainties and economic, social, political, financial, tax and security conditions in the applicable emerging market, any of which could negatively affect the value of companies in emerging markets or investments in their securities.
Derivatives. The Fund Parties may invest from time to time in derivatives, including total return swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. Derivative investments have risks, including: the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and their underlying assets, which creates the possibility that the loss on such instruments may be greater than the gain in the value of the underlying assets in each of the Fund Parties’ portfolios; the loss of principal; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Fund Parties may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding, or may not recover at all. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of a counterparty to a derivative transaction, the derivative contract would typically be terminated at its fair market value. If the Fund Parties are owed this fair market value in the termination of the derivative contract and their claim is unsecured, the Fund Parties will be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty and will not have any claim with respect to the underlying security. Certain of the derivative investments in which the Fund Parties may invest may, in certain circumstances, give rise to a form of financial leverage, which may magnify the risk of owning such instruments. The ability to successfully use derivative investments depends on the ability of the Advisor to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. In addition, amounts paid by the Fund Parties as premiums and cash or other assets held in margin accounts with respect to their derivative investments would not be available to it for other investment purposes, which may result in lost opportunities for gain.
The Dodd-Frank Act could, depending on future rulemaking by regulatory agencies, impact the use of derivatives. The Dodd-Frank Act is intended to regulate the OTC derivatives market by requiring many derivative transactions to be cleared and traded on an exchange, expanding entity registration requirements, imposing business conduct requirements on dealers and requiring banks to move some derivatives trading units to anon-guaranteed affiliate separate from the deposit-taking bank or divest them altogether. Future rulemaking to implement these requirements could potentially limit or completely restrict the Fund Parties’ ability to use these instruments as a part of their investment strategy, increase the costs of using these instruments or make them less effective. Limits or restrictions applicable to the counterparties with which the Fund Parties engage in derivative transactions could also prevent the Fund Parties from using these instruments or affect the pricing or other factors relating to these instruments, or may change availability of certain investments. The SEC has also indicated that it may adopt new policies on the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Such policies could affect the nature and extent of the Fund Parties’ use of derivatives.
Investments in Private Funds. the Fund Parties may invest in, or wholly own, private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, limited liability companies, real estate investment trusts, and other business entities. In valuing their investments in private investment funds, the Fund Parties rely primarily on information provided by managers of such funds. Valuations of illiquid securities, such as interests in certain private investment funds, involve various judgments and consideration of factors that may be subjective. There is a risk that inaccurate valuations provided by managers of private investment funds could adversely affect the value of the Fund Parties’ common stock. The Fund Parties may not be able to withdraw their investment in certain private investment funds promptly after it has made a decision to do so, which may result in a loss to the Fund Parties and adversely affect their investment returns.
Below Investment Grade Risk. In addition, the Fund Parties invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and illiquid.
36
International investments create additional risks.
The Fund Parties expect to make investments in portfolio companies that are domiciled outside of the United States. Each of the Fund Parties anticipate that up to 30% of its investments may be in these types of assets. Their investments in foreign portfolio companies are deemed“non-qualifying assets,” which means, as required by the 1940 Act, they, along with othernon-qualifying assets, may not constitute more than 30% of each of the Fund Parties’ total assets at the time of their acquisition of any asset, after giving effect to the acquisition. Notwithstanding the limitation on the Fund Parties’ ownership of foreign portfolio companies, such investments subject the Fund Parties to many of the same risks as their domestic investments, as well as certain additional risks, including the following:
| • | | foreign governmental laws, rules and policies, including those restricting the ownership of assets in the foreign country or the repatriation of profits from the foreign country to the United States; |
| • | | foreign currency devaluations that reduce the value of and returns on the Fund Parties’ foreign investments; |
| • | | adverse changes in the availability, cost and terms of investments due to the varying economic policies of a foreign country in which the Fund Parties invest; |
| • | | adverse changes in tax rates, the tax treatment of transaction structures and other changes in operating expenses of a particular foreign country in which the Fund Parties invest; |
| • | | the assessment of foreign-country taxes (including withholding taxes, transfer taxes and value added taxes, any or all of which could be significant) on income or gains from the Fund Parties’ investments in the foreign country; |
| • | | adverse changes in foreign-country laws, including those relating to taxation, bankruptcy and ownership of assets; |
| • | | adverse changes in foreign-country laws, including those relating to taxation, bankruptcy and ownership of assets; |
| • | | changes that adversely affect the social, political and/or economic stability of a foreign country in which the Fund Parties invest; |
| • | | high inflation in the foreign countries in which the Fund Parties invest, which could increase the costs to the Fund Parties of investing in those countries; |
| • | | deflationary periods in the foreign countries in which the Fund Parties invest, which could reduce demand for the Fund Parties’ assets in those countries and diminish the value of such investments and the related investment returns to the Fund Parties; and |
| • | | legal and logistical barriers in the foreign countries in which the Fund Parties invest that materially and adversely limit the Fund Parties’ ability to enforce their contractual rights with respect to those investments. |
In addition, the Fund Parties may make investments in countries whose governments or economies may prove unstable. Certain of the countries in which the Fund Parties may invest may have political, economic and legal systems that are unpredictable, unreliable or otherwise inadequate with respect to the implementation, interpretation and enforcement of laws protecting asset ownership and economic interests. In some of the countries in which the Fund Parties may invest, there may be a risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, which may have an adverse effect on their portfolio companies in those countries and the rates of return that the Fund Parties are able to achieve on such investments. The Fund Parties may also lose the total value of any investment which is nationalized, expropriated or confiscated. The financial results and investment opportunities available to the Fund Parties, particularly in developing countries and emerging markets, may be materially and adversely affected by any or all of these political, economic and legal risks.
The Fund Parties’ investments in private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, limited liability companies and other business entities, subject them indirectly to the underlying risks of such private investment funds and additional fees and expenses.
The Fund Parties may invest in private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, limited liability companies and other business entities which would be required to register as investment companies but for an exemption under Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. Investments in private funds are subject to substantial risks. Investments in such private investment funds expose the Fund Parties to the risks associated with the businesses of such funds or entities as well as such private investment funds’ portfolio companies. These private investment funds may or may not be registered investment
37
companies and, thus, may not be subject to protections afforded by the 1940 Act, covering, among other areas, liquidity requirements, governance by an independent board, affiliated transaction restrictions, leverage limitations, public disclosure requirements and custody requirements.
The Fund Parties rely primarily on information provided by managers of private investment funds in valuing their investments in such funds. There is a risk that inaccurate valuations provided by managers of private investment funds could adversely affect the value of the Fund Parties’ common stock. In addition, there can be no assurance that a manager of a private investment fund will provide advance notice of any material change in such private investment fund’s investment program or policies and thus, the Fund Parties’ investment portfolios may be subject to additional risks which may not be promptly identified by the Advisor. Moreover, the Fund Parties may not be able to withdraw their investments in certain private investment funds promptly after the Fund Parties make a decision to do so, which may result in a loss to the Fund Parties and adversely affect their investment returns.
Investments in the securities of private investment funds may also involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in private investment funds indirectly through the Fund Parties, you bear a pro rata portion of the Fund Parties’ advisory fees and other expenses, and also indirectly bear a pro rata portion of the advisory fees, performance-based allocations and other expenses borne by the Fund Parties as an investor in the private investment funds. In addition, the purchase of the shares of some private investment funds requires the payment of sales loads and (in the case ofclosed-end investment companies) sometimes substantial premiums above the value of such investment companies’ portfolio securities.
In addition, certain private investment funds may not provide the Fund Parties with the liquidity they require and would thus subject them to liquidity risk. Further, even if an investment in a private investment fund is deemed liquid at the time of investment, the private investment fund may, in the future, alter the nature of the Fund Parties’ investments and cease to be a liquid investment fund, subjecting them to liquidity risk.
The Fund Parties may acquire various structured financial instruments for purposes of “hedging” or reducing their risks, which may be costly and ineffective and could reduce the cash available to service debt or for distribution to stockholders.
The Fund Parties may seek to hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations and credit risk by using structured financial instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. Use of structured financial instruments for hedging purposes may present significant risks, including the risk of loss of the amounts invested. Defaults by the other party to a hedging transaction can result in losses in the hedging transaction. Hedging activities also involve the risk of an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrument and the asset being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging transaction and on the instrument being hedged. Use of hedging activities may not prevent significant losses and could increase the Fund Parties’ losses. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available to service their debt or pay distributions to their stockholders.
Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund Parties’ operating results.
Investments in middle market companies involve some of the same risks that apply generally to investments in larger, more established companies. However, such investments have more pronounced risks in that they:
| • | | may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet the obligations under their debt securities that the Fund Parties hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral pledged under such securities and a reduction in the likelihood of the Fund Parties realizing any guarantees they may have obtained in connection with their investment; |
| • | | have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tends to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and changing market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; |
| • | | are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies and, in turn, the Fund Parties; |
| • | | generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. In addition, the Fund Parties’ executive officers and directors, trustees and members of the Advisor may, in the ordinary course of business, may be named as defendants in litigation arising from their investments in the portfolio companies; and |
38
| • | | may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity. |
The Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, their investments in such companies.
The Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt in which the Fund Parties invest. By their terms, such debt instruments may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which the Fund Parties are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt instruments in which the Fund Parties invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to a Fund Party’s investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before the Fund Parties receive any proceeds. After repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to the Fund Parties. In the case of debt ranking equally with debt instruments in which the Fund Parties invest, they would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.
There may be circumstances where the Fund Parties’ debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or the Fund Parties could be subject to lender liability claims.
If one of the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the applicable Fund Party actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize their debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of their claim to that of other creditors. In situations where a bankruptcy carries a high degree of political significance, their legal rights may be subordinated to other creditors. The Fund Parties may also be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them with respect to a borrower’s business or in instances where the Fund Parties exercise control over the borrower or render significant managerial assistance.
Second priority liens on collateral securing debt investments that the Fund Parties make to their portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and the Fund Parties.
Certain debt investments that the Fund Parties make in portfolio companies may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing first priority debt of such companies. The first priority liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio company’s obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by such company under the agreements governing the loans. The holders of obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of and be entitled to receive proceeds from any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before the Fund Parties. In addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from the sale or sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. If such proceeds are not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens, then the Fund Parties, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an unsecured claim against such company’s remaining assets, if any.
The Fund Parties may also make unsecured debt investments in portfolio companies, meaning that such investments will not benefit from any interest in collateral of such companies. Liens on any such portfolio company’s collateral, if any, will secure the portfolio company’s obligations under its outstanding secured debt and may secure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under its secured debt agreements. The holders of obligations secured by such liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations in full before the Fund Parties. In addition, the value of such collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the Fund Parties’ unsecured debt obligations after payment in full of all secured debt obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured debt obligations, then the Fund Parties’ unsecured claims would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors’ claims against the portfolio company’s remaining assets, if any.
The rights the Fund Parties may have with respect to the collateral securing the debt investments they make in their portfolio companies with senior debt outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor
39
agreements that the Fund Parties enter into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first priority liens: the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral; the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings; the approval of amendments to collateral documents; releases of liens on the collateral; and waivers of past defaults under collateral documents. The Fund Parties may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if their rights are adversely affected.
The Fund Parties generally will not control their portfolio companies.
The Fund Parties do not expect to control most of their portfolio companies, even though they may have board representation or board observation rights, and their debt agreements with such portfolio companies may contain certain restrictive covenants. As a result, the Fund Parties are subject to the risk that a portfolio company in which they invest may make business decisions with which the Fund Parties disagree and the management of such company, as representatives of the holders of their common equity, may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve their interests as debt investors. Due to the lack of liquidity for their investments innon-traded companies, the Fund Parties may not be able to dispose of their interests in their portfolio companies as readily as the Fund Parties would like or at an appropriate valuation. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of their portfolio holdings.
Declines in market values or fair market values of the Fund Parties’ investments could result in significant net unrealized depreciation of their portfolios, which in turn would reduce their respective NAV.
Under the 1940 Act, the Fund Parties are required to carry their investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of their board of directors or trustees, as applicable. While most of the Fund Parties’ investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require them to assume as part of their valuation process that their investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if the Fund Parties plan on holding an investment through its maturity) and impairments of the market values or fair market values of their investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in their financial statements for the applicable period as unrealized depreciation, which could result in a significant reduction to the Fund Parties’ NAV for a given period.
A significant portion of the Fund Parties’ investment portfolio is and will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by their board of directors or trustees, as applicable, and, as a result, there is and will be uncertainty as to the value of their portfolio investments.
Under the 1940 Act, the Fund Parties are required to carry their portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value, as determined by their or board of trustees, as applicable. There is not a public market for the securities of the privately held companies in which the Fund Parties invest. Most of the Fund Parties’ investments are not publicly traded or actively traded on a secondary market but are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated OTC secondary market for institutional investors or are not traded at all. As a result, the Fund Parties value these securities quarterly at fair value as determined in good faith by their board of directors or trustees, as applicable.
Certain factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of the Fund Parties’ investments include dealer quotes for securities traded on the secondary market for institutional investors, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s earnings and its ability to make payments on its indebtedness, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to comparable publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, the Fund Parties’ determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for thesenon-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, the Fund Parties’ fair value determinations may cause their NAV on a given date to materially understate or overstate the value that the Fund Parties may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of their investments.
The Fund Parties are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.
The Fund Parties are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on their investments, investment opportunities and cost of capital and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on their investment objectives, their rate of return on invested capital and their ability to service their debt and make distributions to their stockholders. In addition, an increase in interest rates would make it more expensive to use debt for their financing needs, if any.
40
The Fund Parties’ investment portfolios primarily consist of senior secured debt with maturities typically ranging from three to seven years. The longer the duration of these securities, generally, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates. As market interest rates increase, those securities with a loweryield-at-cost can experience amark-to-market unrealized loss. An impairment of the fair market value of the Fund Parties’ investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in their financial statements for the applicable period and may therefore have a material adverse effect on their results of operations for that period.
Because the Fund Parties incur indebtedness to make investments, their net investment income is dependent, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which the Fund Parties borrow funds or pay interest on outstanding debt securities and the rate at which the Fund Parties invest these funds. An increase in interest rates would make it more expensive to use debt to finance their investments or to refinance their current financing arrangements. In addition, certain of their financing arrangements provide for adjustments in the loan interest rate along with changes in market interest rates. Therefore, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund Parties’ cost of funds will increase, which could materially reduce their net investment income. Any reduction in the level of interest rates on new investments relative to interest rates on their current investments could also adversely impact their net investment income.
The Fund Parties have and may continue to structure the majority of their debt investments with floating interest rates to position their portfolio for rate increases. However, there can be no assurance that this will successfully mitigate their exposure to interest rate risk. For example, in the event of a rising interest rate environment, payments under floating rate debt instruments generally would rise and there may be a significant number of issuers of such floating rate debt instruments that would be unable or unwilling to pay such increased interest costs and may otherwise be unable to repay their loans. Rising interest rates could also cause portfolio companies to shift cash from other productive uses to the payment of interest, which may have a material adverse effect on their business and operations and could, over time, lead to increased defaults. Investments in floating rate debt instruments may also decline in value in response to rising interest rates if the interest rates of such investments do not rise as much, or as quickly, as market interest rates in general. Similarly, during periods of rising interest rates, the Fund Parties’ fixed rate investments may decline in value because the fixed rate of interest paid thereunder may be below market interest rates.
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the desire to phase out the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. In addition, in April 2018, the Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, announced the replacement of LIBOR with a new index, calculated by short-term repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “SOFR”). At this time, it is not possible to predict whether SOFR will attain market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool, and the future of LIBOR is still uncertain. As such, the potential effect of thephase-out or replacement of LIBOR on the Fund Parties’ cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined. If LIBOR ceases to exist, the Fund Parties may need to renegotiate any credit or similar agreements extending beyond 2021 with their portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate and certain of their existing credit facilities, in each case to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established. If the Fund Parties’ agreements with their portfolio companies are unable to be renegotiated, the Fund Parties’ investments may bear interest at a lower rate, which would decrease investment income and potentially the value of such investments. If the Fund Parties are unable to renegotiate their existing credit facilities, amounts drawn under such credit facilities may bear interest at a higher rate, which would increase the cost of the Fund Parties’ borrowings and, in turn, affect the Fund Parties’ results of operations.
Furthermore, because a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to the Fund Parties’ debt investments, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for them to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and may result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect topre-incentive fee net investment income.
A covenant breach by the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may harm their operating results.
A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Fund Parties or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize a portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt or equity securities that the Fund Parties hold. The Fund Parties may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company.
41
The Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may be highly leveraged.
Some of the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies may be highly leveraged, which may have adverse consequences to these companies and to the Fund Parties as investors. These companies may be subject to restrictive financial and operating covenants and the leverage may impair these companies’ ability to finance their future operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies’ flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to take advantage of business opportunities may be limited. Further, a leveraged company’s income and net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed money were not used.
The Fund Parties may not realize gains from their equity investments.
Certain investments that the Fund Parties may make may include equity related securities, such as rights and warrants that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or the cash value of the common stock. In addition, the Fund Parties may make direct equity investments in portfolio companies. The equity interests the Fund Parties receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, the Fund Parties may not be able to realize gains from their equity interests and any gains that they do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses the Fund Parties experience. The Fund Parties may also be unable to realize any value if a portfolio company does not have a liquidity event, such as a sale of the business, recapitalization or public offering, which would allow the Fund Parties to sell the underlying equity interests. The Fund Parties may be unable to exercise any put rights they acquire, which grant them the right to sell their equity securities back to the portfolio company, for the consideration provided in their investment documents if the issuer is in financial distress.
An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies.
The Fund Parties’ investments are primarily in privately held companies. Investments in private companies pose significantly greater risks than investments in public companies. First, private companies have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished capital resources and the ability to withstand financial distress. As a result, these companies, which may present greater credit risk than public companies, may be unable to meet the obligations under their debt securities that the Fund Parties hold. Second, the investments themselves often may be illiquid. The securities of most of the companies in which the Fund Parties invest are not publicly traded or actively traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated OTC secondary market for institutional investors. In addition, such securities may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. As such, the Fund Parties may have difficulty exiting an investment promptly or at a desired price prior to maturity or outside of a normal amortization schedule. In addition, in a restructuring, the Fund Parties may receive substantially different securities than their original investment in a portfolio company, including securities in a different part of the capital structure. These investments may also be difficult to value because little public information generally exists about private companies, requiring an experienced due diligence team to analyze and value the potential portfolio company. Finally, these companies often may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. The Fund Parties must therefore rely on the ability of the Advisor to obtain adequate information through due diligence to evaluate the creditworthiness and potential returns from investing in these companies. These companies and their financial information will generally not be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules and regulations that govern public companies. If the Fund Parties are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, they may not make a fully informed investment decision, and they may lose money on their investments.
A lack of liquidity in certain of the Fund Parties’ investments may adversely affect their businesses.
The Fund Parties invest in certain companies whose securities are not publicly traded or actively traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated OTC secondary market for institutional investors and whose securities are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of certain investments may make it difficult to sell these investments when desired. In addition, if a Fund Party is required to liquidate all or a portion of its portfolio quickly, it may realize significantly less than the value at which it had previously recorded these investments. The reduced liquidity of investments may make it difficult for a Fund Party to dispose of them at a favorable price or at all, and, as a result, a Fund Party may suffer losses.
The Fund Parties may not have the funds or ability to make additional investments in their portfolio companies.
The Fund Parties may not have the funds or ability to make additional investments in their portfolio companies. After their initial investment in a portfolio company, the Fund Parties may be called upon from time to time to provide additional funds to
42
such company or have the opportunity to increase their investment through the exercise of a warrant to purchase common stock. There is no assurance that the Fund Parties will make, or will have sufficient funds to make,follow-on investments. Any decisions not to make afollow-on investment or any inability on their part to make such an investment may have a negative impact on a portfolio company in need of such an investment, may result in a missed opportunity for the Fund Parties to increase their participation in a successful operation or may reduce the expected return on the investment.
Prepayments of the Fund Parties’ debt investments by their portfolio companies could adversely impact their results of operations and reduce their return on equity.
The Fund Parties are subject to the risk that the investments the Fund Parties make in their portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. When this occurs, the Fund Parties will generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments, pending their future investment in new portfolio companies. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid and the Fund Parties could experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. As a result, their results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of their portfolio companies elect to prepay amounts owed to the Fund Parties. Additionally, prepayments, net of prepayment fees, could negatively impact their return on equity.
The Fund Parties’ investments may include original issue discount andpaid-in-kind (“PIK”) instruments.
To the extent that the Fund Parties invest in original issue discount or PIK instruments and the accretion of original issue discount or PIK interest income constitutes a portion of their income, the Fund Parties will be exposed to risks associated with the requirement to include suchnon-cash income in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash, including the following:
| • | | The higher interest rates on PIK instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with these instruments, and PIK instruments generally represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans; |
| • | | Original issue discount and PIK instruments may have unreliable valuations because the accruals require judgments about collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral; |
| • | | An election to defer PIK interest payments by adding them to the principal on such instruments increases the Fund Parties’ future investment income which increases their gross assets and, as such, increases the Advisor’s future base management fees which, thus, increases the Advisor’s future income incentive fees at a compounding rate; |
| • | | Market prices of PIK instruments and other zero coupon instruments are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes, and may be more volatile than instruments that pay interest periodically in cash. While PIK instruments are usually less volatile than zero coupon debt instruments, PIK instruments are generally more volatile than cash pay securities; |
| • | | The deferral of PIK interest on an instrument increases theloan-to-value ratio, which is a measure of the riskiness of a loan, with respect to such instrument; |
| • | | Even if the conditions for income accrual under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are satisfied, a borrower could still default when actual payment is due upon the maturity of such loan; |
| • | | For accounting purposes, cash distributions to investors representing original issue discount income are not derived frompaid-in capital, although they may be paid from the offering proceeds. Thus, although a distribution of original issue discount income may come from the cash invested by investors, the 1940 Act does not require that investors be given notice of this fact; |
| • | | Recent tax legislation requires that income be recognized for tax purposes no later than when recognized for financial reporting purposes; |
| • | | The required recognition of PIK interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes may have a negative impact on liquidity, as it represents anon-cash component of the Fund Parties’ investment company taxable income that may require cash distributions to stockholders in order to maintain their ability to be subject to tax as a RIC; and |
| • | | Original issue discount may create a risk ofnon-refundable cash payments to the Advisor based onnon-cash accruals that may never be realized. |
43
The Fund Parties may from time to time enter into total return swaps, credit default swaps or other derivative transactions which expose them to certain risks, including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and other risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.
The Fund Parties may from time to time enter into total return swaps, credit default swaps or other derivative transactions that seek to modify or replace the investment performance of a particular reference security or other asset. These transactions are typically individually negotiated,non-standardized agreements between two parties to exchange payments, with payments generally calculated by reference to a notional amount or quantity. Swap contracts and similar derivative contracts are not traded on exchanges; rather, banks and dealers act as principals in these markets. These investments may present risks in excess of those resulting from the referenced security or other asset. Because these transactions are not an acquisition of the referenced security or other asset itself, the investor has no right directly to enforce compliance with the terms of the referenced security or other asset and has no voting or other consensual rights of ownership with respect to the referenced security or other asset. In the event of insolvency of a counterparty, the Fund Parties will be treated as a general creditor of the counterparty and will have no claim of title with respect to the referenced security or other asset.
A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the referenced security or other assets underlying the total return swap during a specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate.
A total return swap is subject to market risk, liquidity risk and risk of imperfect correlation between the value of the total return swap and the debt obligations underlying the total return swap. In addition, the Fund Parties may incur certain costs in connection with a total return swap that could in the aggregate be significant.
A credit default swap is a contract in which one party buys or sells protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer, such as an issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on its debt obligations, bankruptcy or restructuring during a specified period. Generally, if the Fund Parties sell credit protection using a credit default swap, they will receive fixed payments from the swap counterparty and if a credit event occurs with respect to the applicable issuer, they will pay the swap counterparty par for the issuer’s defaulted debt securities and the swap counterparty will deliver the defaulted debt securities to the Fund Parties. Generally, if the Fund Parties buy credit protection using a credit default swap, they will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs with respect to the applicable issuer, they will deliver the issuer’s defaulted securities underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund Parties par for the defaulted securities. Alternatively, a credit default swap may be cash settled and the buyer of protection would receive the difference between the par value and the market value of the issuer’s defaulted debt securities from the seller of protection.
Credit default swaps are subject to the credit risk of the underlying issuer. If the Fund Parties are selling credit protection, there is a risk that they will not properly assess the risk of the underlying issuer, a credit event will occur and they will have to pay the counterparty. If the Fund Parties are buying credit protection, there is a risk that they will not properly assess the risk of the underlying issuer, no credit event will occur and they will receive no benefit for the premium paid.
A derivative transaction is also subject to the risk that a counterparty will default on its payment obligations thereunder or that the Fund Parties will not be able to meet their obligations to the counterparty. In some cases, the Fund Parties may post collateral to secure their obligations to the counterparty, and the Fund Parties may be required to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events such as a decrease in the value of the reference security or other asset. In some cases, the counterparty may not collateralize any of its obligations to the Fund Parties.
Derivative investments effectively add leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. In addition to the risks described above, such arrangements are subject to risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.
Risks Related to Debt Financing
The Fund Parties currently incur indebtedness to make investments, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in their common stock and may increase the risk of investing in their common stock.
The use of borrowings and other types of financing, also known as leverage, magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increases the risks associated with investing in their common stock. When the Fund Parties use leverage to partially finance their investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders or issuing debt securities, they, and therefore their stockholders, will experience increased risks of investing in their common stock. Any lenders and debt
44
holders would have fixed dollar claims on the Fund Parties’ assets that are senior to the claims of their stockholders. If the value of their assets increases, then leverage would cause the NAV attributable to their common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had the Fund Parties not utilized leverage. Conversely, if the value of their assets decreases, leverage would cause NAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had the Fund Parties not utilized leverage. Similarly, any increase in their income in excess of interest payable on their indebtedness would cause their net investment income to increase more than it would without leverage, while any decrease in their income would cause net investment income to decline more sharply than it would have had the Fund Parties not utilized leverage. Such a decline could negatively affect their ability to make distributions to stockholders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
In addition, the decision to utilize leverage will increase the Fund Parties’ assets and, as a result, will increase the amount of base management fees payable to the Advisor. See “Risks Related to the Advisor and its Affiliates – The Advisor and its affiliates, including the Fund Parties’ officers and some of their directors or trustees, as applicable, face conflicts of interest as a result of compensation arrangements between the Fund Parties and the Advisor, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of the Fund Parties’ stockholders.”
The agreements governing the Fund Parties’ debt financing arrangements contain, and agreements governing future debt financing arrangements may contain, various covenants which, if not complied with, could have a material adverse effect on their ability to meet their investment obligations and to pay distributions to their stockholders.
The agreements governing certain of the Fund Parties’ debt financing arrangements contain, and agreements governing future debt financing arrangements may contain, certain financial and operational covenants. These covenants require the Fund Parties and their subsidiaries to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including asset coverage and minimum stockholders’ equity. Compliance with these covenants depends on many factors, some of which are beyond their and their control. In the event of deterioration in the capital markets and pricing levels subsequent to this period, net unrealized depreciation in the Fund Parties’ and their subsidiaries’ portfolios may increase in the future and could result innon-compliance with certain covenants, or their taking actions which could disrupt their business and impact their ability to meet their investment objectives.
There can be no assurance that the Fund Parties and their subsidiaries will continue to comply with the covenants under their financing arrangements. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default which, if the Fund Parties and their subsidiaries were unable to obtain a waiver, consent or amendment from the debt holders, could accelerate repayment under any or all of their and their debt instruments and thereby force the Fund Parties to liquidate investments at a disadvantageous time and/or at a price which could result in losses, or allow their lenders to sell assets pledged as collateral under their financing arrangements in order to satisfy amounts due thereunder. These occurrences could have a material adverse impact on their liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions.
Risks Related to an Investment in the Fund Parties’ Common Stock
The Fund Parties’ shares are not listed on an exchange or quoted through a quotation system, and may not be for the foreseeable future, if ever, and there can be no assurance that the Fund Parties will complete a liquidity event by a specified date, or at all. Therefore, stockholders will have limited liquidity and may not receive a full return of invested capital upon selling shares.
The Fund Parties’ shares are illiquid assets for which there is not a secondary market and it is not expected that a secondary market will develop in the foreseeable future. While FSIC II contemplates a Listing following the closing of the Mergers, any such Listing remains subject to market conditions and approval by the FSIC II board of directors. There can be no assurance that the Fund Parties will complete a liquidity event by a specified date or at all. A liquidity event could include (1) a listing of a Fund Party’s shares on a national securities exchange, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of its assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation or (3) a merger or another transaction approved by its respective board of directors or trustees, as applicable, in which its stockholders likely will receive cash or shares of a publicly-traded company. If a Fund Party’s shares are listed, no assurance can be given that a public trading market will develop. In addition, a liquidity event involving a listing of a Fund Party’s shares on a national securities exchange may include certain restrictions on the ability of stockholders to sell their shares. Further, even if a Fund Party does complete a liquidity event, stockholders may not receive a return of all of their invested capital.
If the Fund Parties do not successfully complete a liquidity event, liquidity for an investor’s shares will be limited to their share repurchase program, which the Fund Parties have no obligation to maintain. On May 31, 2019, the share repurchase program of each Fund Party was suspended pending the completion of the Mergers. Any shares repurchased pursuant to their
45
share repurchase program may be purchased at a price which reflects a significant discount from the purchase price a stockholder paid for the shares being repurchased. In addition, there are significant limitations placed on the number of shares the Fund Parties may repurchase under the applicable share repurchase programs, which may prevent a stockholder from selling all of its shares under the program.
Stockholders who choose to participate in a Fund Party’s share repurchase program will not know the purchase price per share at the time they submit their intent to participate and their shares may be repurchased at a significant discount from the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased.
In the event a stockholder chooses to participate in a Fund Party’s share repurchase program, the stockholder will be required to provide the Fund Party with notice of intent to participate prior to knowing what the repurchase price will be on the repurchase date. Although a stockholder will have the ability to withdraw a repurchase request prior to the repurchase date, to the extent a stockholder seeks to sell shares to a given Fund Party as part of its share repurchase program, the stockholder will be required to do so without knowledge of the repurchase price of its shares. In addition, when the Fund Parties make quarterly repurchase offers pursuant to their share repurchase program, they may offer to repurchase shares at a price that is lower than the price that stockholders paid for shares in the continuous public offering. As a result, to the extent stockholders have the ability to sell their shares to the Fund Parties as part of their share repurchase programs, the price at which a stockholder may sell shares may be at a significant discount to what such stockholder paid in connection with the purchase of shares in the offering.
There is a risk that investors in the Fund Parties’ common stock may not receive distributions.
The Fund Parties cannot assure stockholders that they will achieve investment results that will allow them to make a specified level of cash distributions. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Fund Parties’ boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, and will depend on their earnings, their net investment income, their financial condition, maintenance of their RIC status, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as their board of directors or trustees, as applicable, may deem relevant from time to time. Furthermore, the Fund Parties are permitted to issue senior securities, including multiple classes of debt and one class of stock senior to their shares of common stock. If any such senior securities are outstanding, the Fund Parties are prohibited from paying distributions to holders of shares of their common stock unless the Fund Parties meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of distribution. As a result, the Fund Parties may be limited in their ability to make distributions.
The Fund Parties’ distribution proceeds may exceed their earnings. Therefore, portions of the distributions that the Fund Parties make may represent a return of capital to stockholders, which will lower their tax basis in their shares of common stock.
The tax treatment and characterization of the Fund Parties’ distributions may vary significantly from time to time due to the nature of their investments. The ultimate tax characterization of the distributions made during a tax year may not finally be determined until after the end of that tax year. The Fund Parties may make distributions during a tax year that exceed their investment company taxable income and net capital gains for that tax year. In such a situation, the amount by which their total distributions exceed investment company taxable income and net capital gains generally would be treated as a return of capital up to the amount of a stockholder’s tax basis in the shares, with any amounts exceeding such tax basis treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from their investment activities. Moreover, the Fund Parties may pay all or a substantial portion of their distributions from the proceeds of the sale of shares of their common stock or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow, which could constitute a return of stockholders’ capital and will lower such stockholders’ tax basis in their shares, which may result in increased tax liability to stockholders when they sell such shares.
The Fund Parties may pay distributions from offering proceeds, borrowings or the sale of assets to the extent their cash flows from operations, net investment income or earnings are not sufficient to fund declared distributions.
The Fund Parties may fund distributions from the uninvested proceeds of a securities offering and borrowings, and they have not established limits on the amount of funds they may use from such proceeds or borrowings to make any such distributions. The Fund Parties have paid and may continue to pay distributions from the sale of assets to the extent distributions exceed their earnings or cash flows from operations. Distributions from offering proceeds or from borrowings could reduce the amount of capital the Fund Parties ultimately invest in their portfolio companies.
46
A stockholder’s interest in a Fund Party will be diluted if the given Fund Party issues additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of the investment.
The Fund Parties’ investors do not have preemptive rights to any shares that the Fund Parties may issue in the future. Pursuant to each of the Fund Parties’ charters, a majority of their entire boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, may amend their charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock without stockholder approval. After an investor purchases shares, their board of directors or trustees, as applicable, may elect to sell additional shares in the future, issue equity interests in private offerings or issue share-based awards to their independent directors or trustees, as applicable, or employees of the Advisor. To the extent the Fund Parties issue additional equity interests after an investor purchases their shares, an investor’s percentage ownership interest in the given Fund Party will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of the Fund Parties’ investments, an investor may also experience dilution in the book value and fair value of his or her shares.
Certain provisions of the Fund Parties’ organizational documents as well as provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Delaware Statutory Trust Act could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the value of their common stock.
The MGCL and the FS Funds’ charters and bylaws contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or making difficult a change in control of an FS Fund or the removal of its incumbent directors. Under the Business Combination Act of the MGCL, certain business combinations between an FS Fund and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally to include any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of a company’s outstanding shares) or an affiliate thereof is prohibited for five years and thereafter is subject to special stockholder voting requirements, to the extent that such statute is not superseded by applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. However, the FS Funds’ boards of directors have adopted resolutions exempting from the Business Combination Act any business combination between an FS Fund and any person to the extent that such business combination receives the prior approval of the applicable board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the Control Share Acquisition Act of the MGCL, “control shares” acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote oftwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation. The FS Funds’ bylaws contain provisions exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of the FS Funds’ common stock, but such provision may be repealed at any time (before or after a control share acquisition). However, an FS Fund will amend its bylaws to repeal such provision (so as to be subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act) only if its applicable board of directors determines that it would be in its best interests and if the staff of the SEC does not object to its determination that its being subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act. The Business Combination Act (if an FS Fund’s board of directors should repeal the resolution) and the Control Share Acquisition Act (if an FS Fund amends its bylaws to be subject to that Act) may discourage others from trying to acquire control of an FS Fund and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
The FS Funds have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of them, including: (a) classifying their boards of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, (b) providing that a director may be removed only for cause and only by vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast, and (c) authorizing their boards of directors to (i) classify or reclassify shares of their stock into one or more classes or series, (ii) cause the issuance of additional shares of their stock, and (iii) amend the applicable charter from time to time, without stockholder approval, to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. These provisions, as well as other provisions of the FS Funds’ charters and bylaws, may discourage, delay, defer, make more difficult or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interest of the FS Funds’ stockholders.
The CCT II Charter, as well as certain statutory and regulatory requirements, contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire it. The CCT II Board may, without shareholder action, authorize the issuance of shares in one or more classes or series, including shares of preferred stock; the CCT II Board may, without shareholder action, amend its declaration of trust to increase the number of its shares of common stock, of any class or series, that it will have authority to issue; and its declaration of trust provides that, upon and following the occurrence of a listing of any class of its shares on a national securities exchange, its board of trustees will be divided into three classes of trustees serving staggered terms of three years each. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change of control in circumstances that could give the holders of CCT II’s shares of common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the value of its shares of common stock.
47
The NAV of the Fund Parties’ common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The NAV of the Fund Parties’ common stock may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond their control and may not be directly related to their operating performance. These factors include: (i) changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs or BDCs; (ii) loss of RIC or BDC status; (iii) changes in earnings or variations in operating results; (iv) changes in the value of their portfolio of investments; (v) changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of their investments; (vi) any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors; (vii) departure of their investment adviser or certain of its key personnel; (viii) general economic trends and other external factors; and (ix) loss of a major funding source.
Holders of any preferred stock that the Fund Parties may issue will have the right to elect members of the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, and have class voting rights on certain matters.
The 1940 Act requires that holders of shares of preferred stock must be entitled as a class to elect two directors or trustees, as applicable, at all times and to elect a majority of the directors or trustees, as applicable, if dividends on such preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more, until such arrearage is eliminated. In addition, certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock, including changes in fundamental investment restrictions and conversion toopen-end status and, accordingly, preferred stockholders could veto any such changes. Restrictions imposed on the declarations and payment of dividends or other distributions to the holders of the Fund Parties’ common stock and preferred stock, both by the 1940 Act and by requirements imposed by rating agencies, might impair their ability to maintain their qualification as RICs for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Risks Related to U.S. Federal Income Tax
The Fund Parties will be subject to corporate-level income tax if they are unable to qualify as RICs under Subchapter M of the Code or to satisfy the RIC annual distribution requirements.
Besides maintaining the Fund Parties’ elections to be treated as BDCs under the 1940 Act, in order for them to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund Parties must meet the following annual distribution, income source and asset diversification requirements.
| • | | the applicable Fund Party must derive in each tax year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale of stock or other securities, net income from certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships,” or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock or other securities, or the 90% Income Test. |
| • | | the applicable Fund Party must diversify its holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the tax year: |
| • | | at least 50% of the value of such Fund Party’s assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more than 5% of the value of its assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and |
| • | | no more than 25% of the value of such Fund Party’s assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by it and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or of certain “qualified publicly-traded partnerships,” or the Diversification Tests. |
Failure to satisfy any of the Diversification Tests may result in the applicable Fund Party having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of the applicable Fund Party’s investments will be in private companies, and therefore will be relatively illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous prices and could result in substantial losses.
In any tax year in which the Fund Parties qualify as RICs, in order for each of the Fund Parties to be able to be subject to tax as RICs, they are required to meet an annual distribution requirement. The annual distribution requirement for RIC tax treatment will be satisfied if a given Fund Party distributes to its stockholders, for each tax year, dividends of an amount generally at least equal to the sum of 90% of their investment company taxable income, which is generally the sum of their ordinary net income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Because the Fund Parties may use debt financing, they are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the 1940 Act and may in the future become subject to certain financial covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict the Fund Parties from making distributions necessary to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement. If the Fund Parties are unable to obtain cash from other sources, they could fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
48
The Fund Parties must satisfy these tests on an ongoing basis in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, and may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to invest cash in their existing or other investments, or when the Fund Parties do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the RIC tax requirements may hinder their ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of their stockholders’ investments. Also, the rules applicable to their qualification as RICs are complex, with many areas of uncertainty. If the Fund Parties fail to qualify for or maintain RIC tax treatment for any reason and are subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce their net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of their distributions. Such a failure may have a material adverse effect on the Fund Parties and on any investment in them. The Code provides certain forms of relief from RIC disqualification due to failures of the 90% Income Test or any of the Diversification Tests, although there may be additional taxes due in such cases. The Fund Parties cannot assure you that they would qualify for any such relief should they fail either the 90% Income Test or any of the Diversification Tests.
Some of the Fund Parties’ investments may be subject to corporate-level income tax.
The Fund Parties may invest in certain debt and equity investments through taxable subsidiaries and the taxable income of these taxable subsidiaries will be subject to federal and state corporate income taxes. The Fund Parties may invest in certain foreign debt and equity investments which could be subject to foreign taxes (such as income tax, withholding and value added taxes).
The Fund Parties may have difficulty paying required distributions if they recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund Parties may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which they do not receive a corresponding payment in cash. For example, their investments may include debt instruments that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, increasing interest rates or debt instruments that were issued with warrants). To the extent original issue discount or PIK interest constitutes a portion of the Fund Parties’ income, the Fund Parties must include in taxable income each tax year a portion of the original issue discount or PIK interest that accrues over the life of the instrument, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Fund Parties in the same tax year. The Fund Parties may also have to include in income other amounts that they have not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are paid innon-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. The Fund Parties anticipate that a portion of the Fund Parties’ income may constitute original issue discount or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash. Further, the Fund Parties may elect to amortize market discount and include such amounts in their taxable income in the current tax year, instead of upon disposition, as not making the election would limit their ability to deduct interest expenses for tax purposes.
Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in their investment company taxable income for the tax year of the accrual, the Fund Parties may be required to make a distribution to their stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though the Fund Parties will not have received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, the Fund Parties may have difficulty meeting the Annual Distribution Requirement necessary to qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund Parties may have to sell some of their investments at times and/or at prices they would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If the Fund Parties are not able to obtain cash from other sources, they may fail to qualify for or maintain RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
Furthermore, the Fund Parties may invest in the equity securities ofnon-U.S. corporations (or othernon-U.S. entities classified as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that could be treated under the Code and U.S. Treasury regulations as “passive foreign investment companies” and/or “controlled foreign corporations.” The rules relating to investment in these types ofnon-U.S. entities are designed to ensure that U.S. taxpayers are either, in effect, taxed currently (or on an accelerated basis with respect to corporate level events) or taxed at increased tax rates at distribution or disposition. In certain circumstances, these rules also could require the Fund Parties to recognize taxable income or gains where they do not receive a corresponding payment in cash and under recently proposed U.S. federal income tax regulations, all or a portion of such taxable income and gains may not be considered qualifying income for purposes of the 90% Income Test.
The Fund Parties portfolio investments may present special tax issues.
Investments in below-investment grade debt instruments and certain equity securities may present special tax issues for the Fund Parties. U.S. federal income tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as when the Fund Parties may cease to accrue
49
interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent deductions may be taken for bad debts or worthless debt in equity securities, how payments received on obligations in default should be allocated between principal and interest income, as well as whether exchanges of debt instruments in a bankruptcy or workout context are taxable. Such matters could cause the Fund Parties to recognize taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even in the absence of cash or economic gain, and require the Fund Parties to make taxable distributions to their stockholders to maintain their RIC status or preclude the imposition of either U.S. federal corporate income or excise taxation. Additionally, because such taxable income may not be matched by corresponding cash received by the Fund Parties, they may be required to borrow money or dispose of other investments to be able to make distributions to their stockholders. These and other issues will be considered by the Fund Parties, to the extent determined necessary, in order that the Fund Parties minimize the level of any U.S. federal income or excise tax that the Fund Parties would otherwise incur.
If a Fund Party does not qualify as a “publicly offered regulated investment company,” as defined in the Code, a stockholder will be taxed as though such stockholder received a distribution of some of their expenses.
A “publicly offered regulated investment company” is a RIC whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times during the tax year. If the Fund Parties do not qualify as a publicly offered regulated investment company for any tax year, a noncorporate stockholder’s allocable portion of their affected expenses, including their management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution to the stockholder and will be deductible by such stockholder only to the extent permitted under the limitations described below. For noncorporate stockholders, including individuals, trusts, and estates, significant limitations generally apply to the deductibility of certain expenses of anon-publicly offered regulated investment company, including management fees. In particular, these expenses, referred to as miscellaneous itemized deductions, are deductible to an individual only to the extent they exceed 2% of such a stockholder’s adjusted gross income for taxable years after 2025 and are entirely not deductible against gross income before 2026, are not deductible for alternative minimum tax purposes and are subject to the overall limitation on itemized deductions imposed by the Code. Although the Fund Parties believe that they are currently considered a publicly offered regulated investment company, as defined in the Code, there can be no assurance, however, that the Fund Parties will be considered a publicly offered regulated investment company in the future.
Legislative or regulatory tax changes could adversely affect investors.
At any time, the federal income tax laws governing RICs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. Any of those new laws, regulations or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect the taxation of the Fund Parties or their stockholders. Therefore, changes in tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations or any amendments thereto could diminish the value of an investment in their shares or the value or the resale potential of their investments. In particular, on December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. This tax legislation lowers the general corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, makes changes regarding the use of net operating losses, repeals the corporate alternative minimum tax and makes significant changes with respect to the U.S. international tax rules. In addition, the legislation generally requires a holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for U.S. tax purposes to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on certain financial statements, which therefore if applicable would require the Fund Parties to accrue income earlier than under prior law, although the precise application of this rule is unclear at this time. The legislation also limits the amount or value of interest deductions of borrowers and in that way may potentially affect the loan market and their and their portfolio companies’ use of leverage. For individual taxpayers, the legislation reduces the maximum individual income tax rate and eliminates the deductibility of miscellaneous itemized deductions for taxable years 2018 through 2025. The impact of this new legislation is uncertain.

COMPARATIVE FEES AND EXPENSES
Comparative Fees and Expenses Relating to the Mergers
The following tables are intended to assist you in understanding the costs and expenses that an investor in the common stock of each of the Fund Parties bears directly or indirectly, and based on the assumptions set forth below, the pro forma costs and expenses estimated to be incurred by the combined company in the first year following the Mergers. The Fund Parties caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary. Except where the context suggests otherwise, whenever this document contains a reference to fees or expenses paid or to be paid by “you,” “FSIC II,” “FSIC III,” “CCT II” or “FSIC IV” stockholders will indirectly bear such fees or expenses as investors in each of the Fund Parties.

(1) | The table does not include any sales load (underwriting discount or commission) that stockholders may have paid in connection with their purchase of shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC IV Common Stock or CCT II Common Stock. |
(2) | The estimated expenses associated with the respective distribution reinvestment plans are included in “Other expenses.” |
(3) | “Consolidated net assets attributable to common stock” equals net assets at March 31, 2019. For the pro forma columns, the net assets of FSIC II on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 were used. See “Unaudited Selected Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data” for more information. |
(4) | The Fund Parties are externally managed by the Advisor. FSIC II’s, FSIC III’s, FSIC IV’s and CCT II’s base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average value of their respective gross assets (equal to total assets set forth on the respective Fund Party’s consolidated balance sheet), which are assumed to equal 185.90%, 179.56%, 112.70% and 170.02% of FSIC II’s, FSIC III’s, FSIC IV’s and CCT II’s average net assets of $2.56 billion, $2.21 billion, $335 million and $107 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The base management fee of the Fund Parties’ shown in the table above is higher than 1.50% because the base management fee in the table is required to be calculated as a percentage of the Fund Parties’ average net assets, rather than gross assets. Following completion of the Mergers, the combined company will be externally managed by the Advisor. The pro forma base management fee has been |
51
| calculated in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement assuming that the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved by FSIC II’s stockholders. |
(5) | The incentive fee in the Fund Parties’ respective investment advisory and administrative services agreements 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 respective Fund Party’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 its net assets, equal to 1.75% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0%. As a result, the Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the respective Fund Party’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75%. Once the respective Fund Parties’pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the Advisor will be entitled to a“catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the respective Fund Party’spre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the respective Fund Party’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually, of the value of the respective Fund Party’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the respective Fund Party’spre-incentive fee net investment income. The pro forma subordinated incentive fee on income has been calculated in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement assuming that the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved by FSIC II’s stockholders. |
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 applicable investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the respective Fund Party’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals its 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 Fund Parties accrue for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Fund Parties accrue the incentive fee on capital gains based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, the fee payable to the 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. The amount in the table for the Fund Parties assumes that there is no incentive fee on capital gains and is based on the net unrealized depreciation as of March 31, 2019. Such amounts are expressed as a percentage of the average net assets as of such date.
(6) | The figure in the table for FSIC II assumes it borrows the full amount available under each financing facility as of March 31, 2019 and that the annualized weighted average borrowing costs under the financing facilities, including amortized costs and expenses, is 5.30%. Because the total assumed borrowing ($2.45 billion) represents 95.6% of its average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($2.56 billion), the borrowing cost as a percentage of net assets set forth in the table above is 5.07% (or 95.6% of 5.30%). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of FS Investment Corporation II—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements” for a discussion of FSIC II’s financing arrangements. |
The figure in the table for FSIC III assumes it borrows the full amount available under each financing facility as of March 31, 2019 and that the annualized weighted average borrowing costs under the financing facilities, including amortized costs and expenses, is 4.99%. Because the total assumed borrowing ($2.10 billion) represents 95.09% of its average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($2.21 billion), the borrowing cost as a percentage of net assets set forth in the table above is 4.74% (or 95.09% of 4.99%). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of FS Investment Corporation III—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements” for a discussion of FSIC III’s financing arrangements.
The figure in the table for FSIC IV assumes it borrows the full amount available under each financing facility as of March 31, 2019 and that the annualized weighted average borrowing costs under the financing facilities, including amortized costs and expenses, is 3.86%. Because the total assumed borrowing ($50 million) represents 14.93% of its average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($335 million), the borrowing cost as a percentage of net assets set forth in the table above is 0.58% (or 14.93% of 3.86%). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of FS Investment Corporation IV—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements” for a discussion of FSIC IV’s financing arrangements.
The figure in the table for CCT II assumes it borrows the full amount available under each financing facility as of March 31, 2019 and that the annualized weighted average borrowing costs under the financing facilities, including amortized costs and expenses, is 5.27%. Because the total assumed borrowing ($82 million) represents 76.43% of its average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($107 million), the borrowing cost as a percentage of net assets set forth in the table above is 4.03% (or 76.43% of 5.27%). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of Corporate Capital Trust II—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements” for a discussion of CCT II’s financing arrangements.
52
(7) | Other expenses include accounting, legal and auditing fees and excise and state taxes, as well as the reimbursement of the compensation of administrative personnel and fees payable to the Fund Parties’ directors who do not also serve in an executive officer capacity for the Fund Parties or the Advisor. The amount presented in the table reflects actual amounts incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019. |
(8) | “Total annual expenses” as a percentage of consolidated net assets attributable to common stock are higher than the total annual expenses percentage would be for a company that is not leveraged. The Fund Parties borrow money to leverage and increase their total assets. The SEC requires that the “Total annual expenses” percentage be calculated as a percentage of net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period), rather than the total assets, including assets that have been funded with borrowed monies. |

Example
The following example demonstrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV or the combined company’s common stock following the Mergers. In calculating the following expense amounts, each of FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV has assumed that it would have no additional leverage and that its annual operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the tables above. Transaction expenses related to the Mergers are not included in the following examples.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1 year | | | 3 years | | | 5 years | | | 10 years | |
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return (none of which is subject to the incentive fee on capital gains): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return (all of which is subject to the incentive fee on capital gains, which was estimated at 1.0% of net assets): | | | $88 | | | | $255 | | | | $408 | | | | $740 | |
| | | | |
Pro forma combined company following the Mergers, assuming completion of Merger 1A only | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return (none of which is subject to the incentive fee on capital gains): | | | $79 | | | | $230 | | | | $372 | | | | $691 | |
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return (all of which is subject to the incentive fee on capital gains, which was estimated at 1.0% of net assets): | | | $88 | | | | $255 | | | | $408 | | | | $740 | |
The above table is to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in each of the Fund Parties or, following the Mergers, the combined company’s, common stock will bear directly or indirectly. Because the example assumes, as required by the SEC, no subordinated incentive fee on income would be accrued and payable in any of the indicated time periods. Performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5%. If each of the Fund Parties were to achieve sufficient returns on its investments, including through the realization of capital gains, to trigger an incentive fee of a
54
material amount, its expenses, and returns to its investors, would be higher. In addition, while the example assumes reinvestment of all distributions at NAV, reinvestment of distributions under the distribution reinvestment plans may occur at a price per share that differs from the then-current NAV per share of common stock of the respective company. See “FSIC II Distribution Reinvestment Plan,” “FSIC III and FSIC IV Distribution Reinvestment Plan” and “CCT II Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for additional information regarding each of the Fund Parties’ distribution reinvestment plans.
The example and the expenses in the table above should not be considered a representation of the Fund Parties’, or, following the Mergers, the combined company’s, future expenses, and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

(1) | The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period. |
(2) | The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the applicable period. |
(3) | 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 applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. 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. |

(1) | The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period. |
(2) | The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the applicable period. |
(3) | 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 applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. 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. |

Record Date
The Record Date is August 8, 2019. The Record Date for each of the Fund Parties was established by the applicable board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Fund Party, and only holders of record of shares of the applicable Fund Party’s
69
common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the applicable annual meeting and vote at the applicable annual meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 327,309,962 shares of FSIC II Common Stock outstanding. As of the Record Date, there were 12,302,892 shares of CCT II Common Stock outstanding. As of the Record Date, there were 291,127,422 shares of FSIC III Common Stock outstanding. As of the Record Date, there were 31,674,734 shares of FSIC IV Common Stock outstanding.
Quorum and Adjournments
Under each of the FS Funds’ charter and bylaws, stockholders of such FS Fund entitled to castone-third of the number of votes entitled to be cast, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
Under the CCT Charter and CCT II Bylaws, stockholders of CCT II entitled to cast fifty percent of the number of votes entitled to be cast, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
Abstentions will be treated as shares of common stock of such Fund Party that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at each Annual Meeting.
A “brokernon-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other institution or nominee holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner and present (in person or by proxy) at a meeting for purposes of voting on a routine proposal (or anon-routine proposal for which it has received instructions from the beneficial owner) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares on a particular proposal and does not have, or chooses not to exercise, discretionary authority to vote the shares on such proposal. All of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meetings arenon-routine matters, other than the ratifications of the appointments of the independent registered public accounting firm, which are routine matters.
Because the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent public accounting firm of each Fund Party is a routine matter, if a beneficial owner does not instruct its broker, bank or other institution or nominee holding its shares of a Fund Party’s common stock on its behalf with respect to any of the proposals to be considered at the applicable Annual Meeting, such shares of common stock may still be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the applicable Annual Meeting.
In the event that a quorum is not present or if it appears that there are not enough votes to approve the proposals presented at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the chairman of the FSIC II Annual Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the FSIC II Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after FSIC II’s record date originally fixed for the FSIC II Annual Meeting without notice, other than the announcement at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any business that might have been transacted at the FSIC II Annual Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.
In the event that a quorum is not present or if it appears that there are not enough votes to approve the proposals presented at the Annual Meetings of the Acquired Funds, the chairman of such Acquired Fund’s Annual Meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the respective Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the record date originally fixed for such Annual Meeting without notice, other than the announcement at such Annual Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any business that might have been transacted at such Annual Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.
If sufficient votes in favor of one proposal have been received at the time of the any Annual Meeting, such proposal will be acted upon and such action will be final, regardless of any subsequent adjournments to consider other proposals.
Vote Required
Each share of common stock held by a holder of record of the Fund Parties as of the Record Date has one vote on each matter considered at the applicable Annual Meeting.

FSIC II Director Election Proposal
Each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the FSIC II Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Plurality voting means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat.

Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the FSIC II Director Election Proposal.

If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC II does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal.

If a quorum is present at the
71
FSIC III Annual Meeting and the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal is not approved by the FSIC III stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II Board in determining whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction but such vote will be advisory only and not binding on FSIC II.

Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal. If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC III does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal.

Each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Plurality voting means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are director nominees and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the FSIC IV Director Election Proposal.
FSIC IV Auditor Ratification Proposal
The approval of the FSIC IV Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by holders of FSIC IV Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC IV Auditor Ratification Proposal. If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC IV Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of FSIC IV’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of FSIC IV Common Stock, FSIC IV does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the FSIC IV Auditor Ratification Proposal.

None of the Fund Parties’ officers or directors has entered into any voting agreement relating to any of the Mergers.
The governing documents of each of the Fund Parties provide that the Advisor, any director of such Fund Party or any of their affiliates shall not vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders of such Fund Party regarding the removal of the Advisor, such directors or any of their affiliates or any transaction between the Fund Party and any of them.

Important notice regarding the availability of proxy materials for the Annual Meetings.
The Fund Parties’ joint proxy statement/prospectus and the proxy card are available at www.proxyvote.com.
The Fund Parties are not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the Annual Meetings other than the matters set forth herein. Should any other matters requiring a vote of stockholders of the Fund Parties arise, it is intended that the proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy.
Revocability of Proxies
Submitting a proxy on the enclosed proxy card, by telephone, the Internet or any other permissible method does not preclude a Fund Party stockholder from voting in person at the applicable Annual Meeting. Any Fund Party stockholder may change his, her or its vote using the Internet or telephone methods described herein, prior to the applicable cutoff time before the applicable Annual Meeting, in which case only such Fund Party stockholder’s latest Internet or telephone proxy will be counted. Alternatively, a Fund Party stockholder may revoke his, her or its proxy and change his, her or its vote by signing and returning a new proxy dated as of a later date, or by attending the applicable Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, a Fund Party stockholder’s attendance at the applicable Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke his, her or its proxy, unless such stockholder properly votes at the applicable Annual Meeting, or specifically requests that his, her or its prior proxy be revoked by delivering a written notice of revocation to the applicable Fund Party prior to the Annual Meeting of such Fund Party at the following address: 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112, Attention: Stephen S. Sypherd, General Counsel and Secretary.
Solicitation of Proxies
The Fund Parties will each bear their own costs for the solicitation of proxies for their respective Annual Meeting, provided that the costs and expenses of printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus will be borne in accordance with the percentage equal to the quotient of (A) such Fund Party’s assets under management as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter divided (B) by the aggregate assets under management by FSIC II and each of the Acquired Funds calculated as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. The Fund Parties have requested that brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons holding shares of FSIC II Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, in their names, or in the name of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, forward the proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited in person and by telephone or facsimile transmission by directors, officers or employees of the Fund Parties and their respective affiliates (without special compensation therefor). Each of the Fund Parties has also retained Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies, and it is expected that FSIC II will pay an estimated fee of approximately $355,000, FSIC III will pay an estimated fee of approximately $325,000, CCT II will pay an estimated fee of approximately $29,000 and FSIC IV will pay an estimated fee of approximately $59,000, plusout-of-pocket expenses.

For more information regarding expenses related to the Mergers, see “Questions and Answers about the Annual Meetings and the Mergers—Who is responsible for paying the expenses relating to completing the Mergers?”
Dissenters’ Rights
Fund Party stockholders do not have the right to exercise dissenters’ rights to appraisal or similar remedy with respect to any matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meetings.
Principal Accountants of the Fund Parties
The Fund Parties expect that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at each of the Annual Meetings, who will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses and will be available to answer questions.
Stockholders Who Hold Their Shares in a Brokerage Account
If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. All of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meetings arenon-routine matters for each of the Fund Parties, other than the ratifications of the appointments of the independent registered public accounting firm, which are routine matters. As a result, if you hold shares of common stock in street name through a broker, your broker will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to your shares of common stock for thenon-routine proposals. For this reason, it is imperative that stockholders of the Fund Parties vote or provide instructions to their brokers as to how to vote with respect to each proposal to be considered at the applicable Annual Meeting.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Merger Agreement provides that the holders of common stock of the Acquired Funds will be entitled to receive, for each share of common stock, that number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock with a NAV equal to the NAV of the share of the common stock of the applicable Acquired Fund, in each case calculated as of the same date within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing of the Mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of the Fund Parties, which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Index to Financial Statements.”
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and explanatory notes illustrate the effect of the Mergers on FSIC II’s financial position and results of operations based upon the companies’ respective historical financial positions and results of operations under the asset acquisition method of accounting with FSIC II treated as the acquirer.
Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the assets (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain“non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. FSIC II believes that the acquisition of the Acquired Funds should be accounted for as an asset acquisition based on the nature of itspre-acquisition operations, asset or capital allocation and other factors outlined in ASC805-50—Business Combinations–Related Issues.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 assuming the Mergers had been completed on March 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were prepared assuming the Mergers had been completed on December 31, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the Mergers (or the applicable Merger(s)) been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor the impact of expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, share repurchases and other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information, the allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information involves estimates, is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the Mergers.

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information related to the Mergers is included as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018. On May 31, 2019, FSIC II, FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II entered into the Merger Agreement. For the purposes of the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the purchase price is approximately $2.6 billion in stock consideration which is based upon a NAV of $7.89 per share of FSIC II Common Stock as of March 31, 2019. The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC IV Common Stock and CCT II Common Stock into FSIC II Common Stock using respective exchange ratios of 0.963, 1.324 and 1.098 of a share of FSIC II Common Stock, for each of the approximately 290.3 million, 31.6 million and 12.3 million shares, respectively of FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC IV Common Stock and CCT II Common Stock outstanding.
The merger of each of the applicable Merger Subs with and into FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II will be accounted for as an asset acquisition of FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II by FSIC II in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues. The fair value of the merger consideration paid by FSIC II is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition and will not give rise to goodwill.
In applying the asset acquisition method of accounting, FSIC II uses a cost approach to allocate the cost of the acquisition against the assets being acquired. The cost of the acquisition is determined to be the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident. Shares of FSIC II Common Stock will be issued at an exchange ratio based on FSIC II’s NAV per share divided by the NAV per share of the applicable Acquired Fund, each as calculated on the acquisition date. The acquired assets are stated at fair value in the financial statements of each of the Acquired Funds and the acquired liabilities are generally short term so that their carrying values approximate fair value. Management concluded that the fair value of the assets acquired is more clearly evident and would be used to determine the value of the consideration. Consequently, no material adjustments are expected to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities acquired.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of 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.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments: FSIC II determines the NAV of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the FSIC II Board. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the FSIC II Board 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.
ASC Topic 820 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.
The fair values of FSIC II’s investments are determined in good faith by the FSIC II Board. The FSIC II Board is responsible for the valuation of FSIC II’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to FSIC II’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The FSIC II Board has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing its valuation policy to the Advisor’s management team, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the FSIC II Board. The valuation committee of the FSIC II Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.

Income Taxes: FSIC II 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. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, FSIC II must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as well as distribute to its stockholders, for each tax year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally FSIC II’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid. As a RIC, FSIC II will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. FSIC II intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year and to not pay any U.S. federal income taxes on income so distributed. FSIC II is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no U.S. federal income taxes.
Transaction Costs:Each of FSIC II, FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II incur direct transaction costs resulting from the Mergers. FSIC II, as the acquirer in an asset acquisition, will capitalize its transaction costs and such costs will be reflected as an adjustment to the purchase price of the Acquired Funds. The Acquired Funds will expense their transaction costs as incurred.
FSIC II expects to incur $4,550 in estimated transaction costs, which will be capitalized and reflected as an adjustment to the value of the consideration exchanged. FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II expect to incur $3,300, $450 and $220 in estimated transaction costs, respectively. The estimated costs are presented as pro forma adjustments to cash on the pro forma balance sheet.
2. PRELIMINARY PURCHASE ACCOUNTING ALLOCATIONS
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 assuming the Mergers had been completed on March 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were prepared assuming the Merger and Subsequent Combination had been completed on December 31, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information reflects the issuance of approximately 334.2 million shares of FSIC II Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
The merger of each of the applicable Merger Subs with and into FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II will be accounted for using the asset acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the fair value of the consideration paid by FSIC II in connection with the Mergers will be allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Acquired Funds at their relative fair values estimated by FSIC II as of the effective date, and as summarized in the following table:

3. PRELIMINARY PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(A) The pro forma adjustment to cash reflects the estimated required distributions of FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II of their respective undistributed income of $6,920, $7,671 and $483 as of the Closing Date in order avoid corporate and excise taxes, as well as remaining estimated transaction costs of $4,550, $3,300, $450 and $220 for FSIC II, FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II, respectively.
81
(B) Shares of FSIC II Common Stock issued to FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II stockholders based on exchange ratios of 0.963, 1.324 and 1.098 shares of FSIC II Common Stock for each share of FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC IV Common Stock and CCT II Common Stock, respectively. For purposes of calculating the exchange ratio, FSIC II, FSIC III, FSIC IV, and CCT II’s NAV prior to the Mergers was adjusted by estimated cash distributions and transaction costs as discussed in Note A. New shares of FSIC II Common Stock issued equal the respective adjusted net assets of FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II of $2,202,437, $329,596 and $106,511, divided by FSIC II’s adjusted NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock as of March 31, 2019 of $7.88.
(C) In conjunction with the Mergers, FSIC II intends to enter into the Proposed Advisory Agreement pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal. Under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, FSIC II will accrue a management fee based on 1.50% of its gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and an incentive fee on income based on net assets rather than adjusted capital. The pro forma adjustments to the respective statements of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018 reflect the Proposed Advisory Agreement as if it had been in place effective December 31, 2017.
(D) Pro forma adjustment reflects impact of the Mergers on administrative services costs, audit fees and directors costs directly attributable to the Mergers.

Background of the Mergers
Each of the Fund Boards meets regularly to provide governance and oversight for the ongoing operation of the business of the applicable Fund Parties, with a focus on investor protection and maximizing stockholder value. Among other things, the Fund Boards review long-term strategic plans and consider ways to provide liquidity options for the Fund Parties’ stockholders. As part of that review and the Fund Boards’ ongoing evaluation of business opportunities, each Fund Board has periodically considered and engaged in discussions concerning possible strategic options, including the listing of the applicable Fund Party’s common stock on a national securities exchange, as well as potential mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other similar transactions.
At the direction of the Advisor, in January and February 2019, representatives of the Advisor and representatives of Dechert LLP (“Dechert”), counsel to the Advisor and each of the Fund Parties, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP (“Stradley”), independent legal counsel to the independent directors of the FS Funds, Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman”), independent legal counsel to the independent trustees of CCT II, Miles & Stockbridge P.C. (“Miles & Stockbridge”), special counsel to the FS Funds with regard to Maryland law issues, and Richards Layton & Finger, P.A. (“Richards Layton”), special counsel to CCT II with regard to Delaware law issues, discussed certain legal considerations relating to potential strategic alternatives involving one or more of the Fund Parties.
On February 19, 2019, the FS Funds held a joint quarterly board meeting, at which representatives of the Advisor, Dechert, Stradley and Miles & Stockbridge were also present. During the meeting, participants discussed various strategic options for the FS Funds. One of the strategic options discussed with the FS Boards involved a potential merger transaction involving one or more of the Fund Parties (the“Non-Traded Merger Transaction”). The FS Boards preliminarily discussed the potential benefits of such a transaction in terms of scale, diversification and investment opportunity, including that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction could be a step toward a liquidity event for stockholders of the combined fund through a listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange.

In addition to the foregoing, the Advisor also presented to the FS Boards on various strategic alternatives to a possibleNon-Traded Merger Transaction, including (i) a merger of the FS Funds into an existing public entity, such as FSK, (ii) the direct public listing of shares of one or more of the FS Funds on a national securities exchange and (iii) the liquidation of one or more of the FS Funds. The Advisor also presented to the FS Boards on the possibility of restructuring the capital stock (into a mix of common stock and preferred stock) of one or more of the FS Funds. As part of this discussion, the Advisor presented information regarding potential indicative terms of preferred stock that could be issued by the FS Funds, or that could be issued by FSK to stockholders of one or more of the FS Funds if one or more of the FS Funds merged with and into FSK. In addition to requesting additional information and analysis generally with respect to potential strategic alternatives, the FS Boards specifically requested additional information and analysis with respect to the preferred stock that could be created through the reorganization of the equity of one or more of the FS Funds, including analysis on the comparability of the indicative terms of such preferred stock to other comparable preferred equity securities and the impact, if any, of the preferred stock on the future marketability of the common stock of the Fund Parties.

Morgan engagement letter.
In addition, at the joint special meeting of the Fund Boards held on May 23, 2019, J.P. Morgan presented to the Fund Boards regarding considerations in connection with theNon-Traded Merger Transaction. J.P. Morgan noted that because theNon-Traded Merger Transaction will be executed on aNAV-for-NAV basis, no stockholders of the Fund Parties will suffer economic dilution. J.P. Morgan also presented to the Fund Boards on certain financial considerations relating to the impact of the Recapitalization Transaction.
On May 28, 2019, the FS Boards met in executive session with Stradley and the CCT II Board met in executive session with Shearman to discuss, among other things, the structure of the proposed transactions. The Fund Boards discussed the terms
106
of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and the Recapitalization Transaction, along with the responses from the Advisor to the Fund Boards’ various questions and requests. The Fund Boards discussed in detail the proposed terms of the preferred stock of FSIC II that would be issued in the Recapitalization Transaction.
On May 28, 2019, a joint special meeting of the Fund Boards was held, at which representatives of the Advisor, J.P. Morgan, Dechert, Stradley and Shearman were also present. At the meeting, J.P. Morgan presented to the Fund Boards on the work done by J.P. Morgan regarding theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, J.P. Morgan’s financial analysis and J.P. Morgan’s finding that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction would be accretive to stockholders of each of the Fund Parties on a net investment income and dividend per share of common stock basis and, because theNon-Traded Merger Transaction would be executed on aNAV-for-NAV basis, no stockholders of the Fund Parties would suffer economic dilution. At the meeting, J.P. Morgan also again reviewed the strategic alternatives available to the Fund Parties, including maintaining the status quo, a listing of one or more of the Fund Parties, theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, a merger with FSK or another public BDC and the liquidation of one or more of the Fund Parties. After reviewing the benefits and considerations of each strategic alternative with the Fund Boards, J.P. Morgan also noted that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction does not limit and is likely to enhance the strategic alternatives available to the combined company as compared to any individual Fund Party. At the meeting, a representative of Dechert also summarized the key terms of the draft Merger Agreement. At the meeting, the Advisor presented revised indicative terms of the preferred stock to be issued in the Recapitalization Transaction and Fund Boards also reviewed certain proposed changes to the charter and bylaws of the FS Funds.
Following discussion of the foregoing matters, the FSIC II Board, including the FSIC II Independent Directors, among other approvals, unanimously (i) approved and adopted the Merger Agreement, (ii) approved theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and determined that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are in the best interest of FSIC II and its stockholders, (iii) determined, in accordance with Rule17a-8 under the 1940 Act, that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction is in the best interests of FSIC II and its stockholders and will not dilute the interests of the existing FSIC II stockholders, (iv) approved the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals and (v) approved the new investment advisory agreement between FSIC II and the Advisor to become effective upon the closing of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, subject to FSIC II stockholder approval. The FSIC II Board then directed that such matters be submitted to the FSIC II stockholders for approval with the FSIC II Board’s recommendation that the FSIC II stockholders vote to approve them.
In addition, at the May 28, 2019 special meeting, the FSIC II Board adopted an exclusive forum bylaws amendment as described in the current report on Form8-K filed by FSIC II on June 3, 2019.

Reasons for the Mergers
At various Board meetings, the Advisor recommended, and the Fund Boards considered, the approval of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction. In connection with its consideration, the FS Fund Independent Directors and CCT II Independent Directors requested, and the Advisor provided, information regarding the various options that were available for the Fund Parties, as well as extensive information regarding theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, the Recapitalization Transaction and the Listing, and the anticipated effect of these transactions, both in the short term and over the longer term. Over the course of their review of the materials and information provided and its consideration of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, the Fund Boards consulted with management of the Fund Parties, the Advisor and the Fund Parties’ legal and financial advisors. In addition, the FS Fund Independent Directors were advised by Stradley, their independent legal counsel, and the CCT II Independent Trustees were advised by Shearman, their independent legal counsel, regarding the nature and adequacy of the information provided, including the terms of the Merger Agreement and their duties under state and federal law in approving theNon-Traded Merger Transaction. The Fund Boards considered numerous factors, including but not limited to those described below, in connection with their consideration and approval of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction. On May 28, 2019, each Fund Board, including its Independent Directors, unanimously determined thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is in the best interests of the applicable Fund Party and in the best interests of the applicable Fund Party’s stockholders, and that the interests of the applicable Fund Party’s existing stockholders will not be diluted as a result of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction.
In considering theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and the Merger Agreement, the Funds Boards reviewed detailed comparative information about the Fund Parties including, among other items: (i) their investment goals, strategies, policies and restrictions; (ii) their individual holdings, the asset mix of each Fund Party’s portfolio and the quality of such holdings; (iii) their existing leverage facilities; (iv) their short-term and long-term investment performance history; (v) their net investment income and quality of earnings and the anticipated effect of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction on future net investment income and quality of earnings; (vi) the amount of past distributions and distribution coverage and the anticipated effect of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction on future distributions and distribution coverage; and (vii) their respective expense ratios. In addition, the Fund Boards reviewed comprehensive information regarding the anticipated immediate benefits and possible risks to each of the Fund Parties as a result ofthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction, and the anticipated investment and financial synergies to be experienced by the combined company in the short term and over the longer term.
Each Fund Board, including the Independent Directors of each Fund Board, weighed various benefits and risks in consideringthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction, both with respect to the immediate effects of the Mergers on each Fund Party and its stockholders and with respect to the potential benefits that could be experienced by the combined company afterthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction. These benefits include the potential for a listing of the combined company’s common stock on a national securities exchange and the related potential liquidity option for stockholders. In weighing these various benefits and risks, each Fund Board considered the benefits and risks related to the participation of each Fund Party in theNon-Traded Merger Transaction on a FundParty-by-Fund Party basis. Some of the material factors considered by the Fund Boards that assisted it in concluding thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is in the best interests of Fund Parties and their stockholders included, among others:
Investment Strategies and Risks. The Fund Boards reviewed each Fund Parties’ investment programs and noted that they have substantially identical investment objectives, strategies and risks and that each focuses primarily on making credit investments in privately-held middle-market companies. The Fund Boards considered that the Fund Parties are each managed by the Advisor and, after theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, the stockholders of each Fund Party would be invested in a similarly structured investment vehicle and that their investment experience would likely be comparable in the combined company.
Advisor. The Fund Boards considered that the combined company would have the same Advisor and management team that have already been considered and approved by the Fund Parties and their respective Independent Directors. The Fund Boards believed that, because there would be no change in the investment advisor, the combined company and the Fund Parties’ stockholders would receive the same quality of services from the Advisor as they are currently receiving and would continue to benefit from the experience and expertise of its current portfolio management and credit team. In this regard, the Fund Boards viewed favorably the overall investment and operational performance of the Advisor since taking over the management of the Fund Parties in April 2018, as well as the Advisor’s demonstrated competence in evaluating theNon-Traded Merger Transaction for the benefit of stockholders of the Fund Parties.
Reduction in General and Administrative Expenses. The Fund Boards considered that, as a result ofthe Non-Traded Merger Agreement, the ratio of the combined company’s fixed costs (e.g., printing and mailing of periodic reports and proxy statements, legal expenses, insurance, audit fees and other expenses) to assets is expected to be lower than the current expense
108
ratio of any of the Fund Parties on a stand-alone basis. The Fund Boards noted that, ifthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is approved, the fixed costs and expenses would be spread across a larger asset base and duplicative fixed costs would be eliminated. As a result, althoughcertain one-time costs would be borne by the Fund Parties’ stockholders in connection withthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction, the annual operating expenses borne by the Fund Parties’ stockholders on a pro rata basis is expected to be reduced in part by the reduction in general and administrative expenses. The Fund Boards and their Independent Directors found that the expected decrease in the expense ratio of the combined company would benefit the stockholders of each Fund Party ifthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is consummated. In addition, the Fund Boards considered the proposed changes to the investment advisory agreement and the net effect of those changes on the combined company and on each Fund Party’s stockholders. See “FSIC II Proposal 12: Approval of Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal” for a discussion of the proposed amendments to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement.
No Dilution. The Fund Boards considered thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction will be executed ona NAV-for-NAV basis (determined shortly before the Closing Date on the basis of methodologies that were considered and approved by the Fund Boards) and therefore the interests of the Fund Parties’ existing stockholders will not be diluted as a result ofthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction.
Portfolio Diversification and Asset Mix. The Fund Boards considered that the combined company would have a portfolio that was more diversified than the portfolio of any Fund Party on a stand-alone basis, including with respect to concentration of each Fund Party’s top ten investments and each Fund Party’s exposure to single issuers as a percentage of fair value. The Fund Boards noted that the combined company would continue to have a portfolio primarily focused on senior secured debt and floating rate debt.
Positioning of Combined Company FollowingNon-Traded Merger Transaction and Future Optionality. The Fund Boards considered the positioning of the combined company as compared to each Fund Party on a stand-alone basis, including in the context of the Recapitalization Transaction and the Listing. The Fund Boards noted that the combined company would be the second largest BDC on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019, which would create significant scale and visibility in the public markets. The Fund Boards also considered that following the Recapitalization Transaction, the combined company is expected to be able to sustain up to a9-10% dividend yield on NAV for its common stock on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019, which would be competitive with some of the largest Listed BDCs with a track record of consistently covering their dividend. The Board also noted that at a9-10% dividend yield, the combined company’s projected annualized net investment income on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 is estimated to represent 105%–110% of its dividend and that Listed BDCs that have a track record of consistently funding their distributions through net investment income typically trade at a higher valuation(price-to-book) than their peers. The Fund Boards also considered that the Recapitalization Transaction may help mitigate potential technical pressure on the combined company’s common stock upon the Listing by reducing the public float of the common stock.
The Fund Boards also noted that the benefits derived by the Fund Parties from theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, such as reduced general and administrative expenses and enhanced portfolio diversification, are not dependent on the Recapitalization Transaction or the Listing. The Fund Boards also considered that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction does not limit the strategic alternatives available for the combined company following theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and may enhance the optionality the combined company would have as compared to any individual Fund Party. The Fund Boards noted that the Advisor and the FSIC II Board could take into account changes to performance, market conditions and the valuations of Listed BDC peers prior to the Recapitalization Transaction or the Listing, and that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction is not contingent on the Recapitalization Transaction or the Listing.
Tax-Free Reorganization. The Fund Boards considered thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is anticipated to be treated asa tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and the Fund Parties’ stockholders are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction.
New Opportunities. The CCT II Board noted the relatively small size of CCT II in relation to the other Fund Parties, and that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction would benefit CCT II’s shareholders by providing a much larger investment platform and allow it to participate in more investment opportunities than would be available if it were to continue independently.
Other Considerations.The Fund Boards noted that theNon-Traded Merger Transaction is not expected to affect the ability of the Fund Parties to comply with its respective regulatory obligations, including its ability to maintain appropriate leverage and continue to operate in compliance with the asset coverage requirements set forth in the 1940 Act and to pay dividends required of RICs
When considering the information described above, including all of the anticipated effects ofthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction on each Fund Party and its respective stockholders and the related pro forma information, the Fund Boards noted
109
that information based on projections and assumptions may be incorrect, is subject to change, and may fluctuate over time. The Fund Boards acknowledged that the pro forma information and the projections and assumptions on which the potential expenses, earnings, yield and dividend information, among others, is based depends on many factors and variables, including among other things, asset mix, the performance of individual investments, changing cost of service providers, portfolio turnover level, leverage, the cost of leverage, changes in interest rates and general market conditions. The Fund Boards noted that there is no assurance that any of the potential benefits to the Fund Parties or their respective stockholders as a result ofthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction and the Recapitalization Transaction and the Listing, if applicable, will be realized, including any anticipated synergies, and that the combined company could experience detrimental effects that had not been anticipated.
The Fund Boards also considered that while the listing of shares of FSIC II common stock on a national securities exchange is contemplated to occur following the closing of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, the occurrence of such a listing would be contingent upon market conditions and other factors. In addition, the Fund Boards considered that the shares of FSIC II preferred stock that would be issued in the Recapitalization Transaction, if it occurs, would be illiquid assets without a secondary trading market. The Fund Boards considered that even if a secondary trading market develops for the preferred stock, the market may not be liquid and the preferred stock may trade at a significant discount compared to more liquid securities. In addition, the Fund Boards considered that if the FSIC II Board determined to list the shares of preferred stock on a national securities exchange at a future point, the shares of preferred stock may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and FSIC II’s financial and operating performance, among other factors.
In the course of their deliberations, the Fund Boards also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including, but not limited to (and which are not in any relative order of importance): (i) that it would be possible thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction may not be completed or may be delayed; (ii) that it is possible that certain but not all of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement would be completed; (iii) that certain restrictions may be imposed on the conduct of the Fund Parties’ businesses prior to completion of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, requiring the Fund Parties to conduct their respective businesses only in the ordinary course of business in all material respects, subject to specific limitations, which could delay or prevent the Fund Parties from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction; (iv) the existing relationship between the Fund Parties and the Advisor and potential conflicts of interest in connection with theNon-Traded Merger Transaction, the Recapitalization Transaction and the potential Listing; (v) in general, each Fund Party will be responsible for expenses incurred by such Fund Party in connection with theNon-Traded Merger Transaction and the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whether or not the mergers are consummated, including such Fund Party’s allocated portion of costs and expenses of any filing and other fees payable by the Fund Parties to the SEC in connection with theNon-Traded Merger Transaction; (vi) the possibility that demands on management resources during the period prior to completion of theNon-Traded Merger Transaction may adversely affect the Fund Parties businesses; (vii) that the Acquired Funds are not entitled to appraisal rights under Maryland or Delaware law, as applicable; and (viii) various other risks, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
This discussion of the information and factors that the Fund Boards considered in making their decision is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Fund Boards. Because of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation ofthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction and Merger Agreement and the complexity of those matters, the Fund Boards did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, the individual members of the Fund Boards may have given different weights to different factors.
Each of the Fund Boards, including the Independent Directors of each Fund Board, considered all of these factors and others as a whole and, on balance, determined thatthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction is in the best interests of such Fund Party’s stockholders and unanimously approvedthe Non-Traded Merger Transaction and the Merger Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following summary, which includes the material terms of the Merger Agreement, is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. The Fund Parties each encourage you to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety.
Closing; Completion of the Proposed Mergers
It is currently expected that the Mergers will be completed promptly following receipt of the required stockholder approvals at the Annual Meetings and the satisfaction of the other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The Mergers will occur no later than five (5) business days after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement or at another time as may be agreed to in writing by the Fund Parties. If the stockholders of the Fund Parties’ approve the applicable Merger Proposal and the applicable Merger Charter Amendment Proposals (the “Stockholder Matters”) at the Annual Meetings, and the other conditions to closing the Mergers are satisfied or waived, the Fund Parties expect to complete the Mergers in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Merger Consideration
If each of the Mergers is consummated, each stockholder of the Acquired Funds will be entitled to receive for each share of common stock of such Acquired Fund held, that number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and, at the election of FSIC II, payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Exchange Ratio for each Acquired Fund is calculated based on the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock and the NAV per share of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, each as of the Determination Date. Each Exchange Ratio will be appropriately adjusted (to the extent not already taken in account in determining the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable) if, between the Determination Date and the applicable Effective Time, the respective outstanding shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, have been increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be authorized and declared with a record date within such period. If FSIC II elects to pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares, holders of shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of FSIC II Common Stock will receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of FSIC II Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the NAV per share of FSIC II Common Stock as of the Determination Date.
Dividends and Distributions
No dividends or other distributions with respect to FSIC II Common Stock will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, with respect to shares of the FSIC II Common Stock represented thereby. Following the closing of the Mergers, the record holders of such shares shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the applicable Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of FSIC II Common Stock represented by such shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of FSIC II Common Stock represented by such shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable, with a record date after the applicable Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the FSIC II Common Stock issuable with respect to such shares of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock.
Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Shares
At Effective Time 1A, each share of FSIC III Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Effective Time 1A will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock equal to Merger Consideration 1 (excluding treasury stock and shares of FSIC III Common Stock held by FSIC II). Each such share of FSIC III Common Stock
112
will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, with the holders of such shares ceasing to have any rights with respect to any FSIC III Common Stock other than the right to Merger Consideration 1 upon the surrender of such shares of FSIC III Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
After Effective Time 1A, no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of FSIC III, other than to settle transfers that occurred prior to Effective Time 1A, will occur. If shares of FSIC III Common Stock are presented for transfer to the exchange agent, such shares will be cancelled against delivery of the Merger Consideration 1.
At Effective Time 2A, each share of CCT II Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Effective Time 2A will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock equal to Merger Consideration 2 (excluding treasury stock and shares of CCT II Common Stock held by FSIC II). Each such share of CCT II Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, with the holders of such shares ceasing to have any rights with respect to any CCT II Common Stock other than the right to Merger Consideration 2 upon the surrender of such shares of CCT II Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
After Effective Time 2A, no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of CCT II, other than to settle transfers that occurred prior to Effective Time 2A, will occur. If shares of CCT II Common Stock are presented for transfer to the exchange agent, such shares will be cancelled against delivery of the Merger Consideration 2.
At Effective Time 3A, each share of FSIC IV Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Effective Time 3A will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock equal to Merger Consideration 3 (excluding treasury stock and shares of FSIC IV Common Stock held by FSIC II). Each such share of FSIC IV Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, with the holders of such shares ceasing to have any rights with respect to any FSIC IV Common Stock other than the right to Merger Consideration 3 upon the surrender of such shares of FSIC IV Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
After Effective Time 3A, no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of FSIC IV, other than to settle transfers that occurred prior to Effective Time 3A, will occur.

reasonable best efforts to take all actions, and to do all things necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits of all governmental entities, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits of all governmental entities and all permits, consents, approvals, confirmations and authorizations of all third parties that are necessary or advisable, to consummate the transactions (including the Mergers), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and governmental entities.
The parties are required to file any required applications, notices or other filings under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable.

The parties are not required to make payments or provide other consideration for the repayment, restructuring or amendment of terms of indebtedness in connection with the Mergers.
Stockholder Approval
Each of the Fund Parties has agreed to hold its respective special meeting of stockholders as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 10 business days) following the effectiveness of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of obtaining the approval of such Fund Party’s stockholders of the applicable Stockholder Matters. Each Fund Party will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders the vote required to approve the applicable Stockholder Matters and such obligations will not be affected by the existence of any takeover proposals or any adverse recommendation change made by each of the Fund Parties, as applicable.
Indemnification
FSIC II has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses, to the present and former directors and officers of the Acquired Funds and any of their respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) with respect to all acts or omissions in such capacities at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If an indemnified liability arises, (i) FSIC II has agreed to advance the applicable D&O Indemnified Party, upon request, reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably and actually incurred so long as such D&O Indemnified Party, or someone on his or her behalf, undertakes to repay such advanced expenses if he or she is ultimately determined to be not entitled to indemnification and (ii) FSIC II and the applicable D&O Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense of such matter. Prior to the Closing, FSIC II shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into an indemnification agreement with each member of CCT II’s board of trustees who is not also a member of FSIC II’s board of directors (and therefore covered by FSIC II’s existing director and officer’s insurance policy) entitling such person to directly enforce the indemnification provisions of the Merger Agreement.

117
of the Fund Parties. If any of the Fund Parties receives a Takeover Proposal or similar request for information, it must notify the other Fund Parties, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), provide the other parties with copies of any written materials received by it in connection thereto (including the identity of the potential acquirer), and keep the other parties informed on a reasonably current basis of the status (including the status of negotiations) of such Takeover Proposal or similar request for information.
Board Recommendations
If, prior to the applicable Annual Meetings of each of the Fund Parties, (i) such party receives a bona fide unsolicited Takeover Proposal from a third party, (ii) the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Fund Party determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel that (x) failure to consider such Takeover Proposal would reasonably likely be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Fund Party under applicable law and (y) such Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a “Superior Proposal”; and (iii) such Fund Party gives the other Fund Parties at least two (2) business days prior written notice of the identity of the third party making such Takeover Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal and such Fund Party’s intention to furnish information to, or participate in discussions or negotiations with, such third party then such Fund Party may engage in discussions and negotiations with such third party so long as certain notice and other procedural requirements are satisfied, including providing notice to the other Fund Parties within twenty-four (24) hours after determining that a Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.
In addition, each Fund Party may take other actions if such Fund Party’s board of directors or trustees, as applicable, determines (by a majority of its members), after consultation with its outside counsel, that the continued recommendation of the applicable Merger Proposal to its stockholders would reasonably likely be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Fund Party under applicable law as a result of a Superior Proposal, including withdrawing, qualifying, or modifying the recommendation of the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, that the stockholders of such Fund Party approve the Mergers or taking any other action inconsistent with such recommendation, an “Adverse Recommendation Change.” Each Fund Party may terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with a third party who makes a Superior Proposal, subject to negotiating in good faith to amend the Merger Agreement so that the Superior Proposal is no longer deemed a Superior Proposal and satisfying certain other procedural requirements. Other than in connection with a Takeover Proposal, nothing in the Merger Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of each Fund Party from withdrawing or qualifying or publicly propose to withdraw or qualify the approval, adoption, recommendation or declaration of the applicable Stockholder Matters in response to an Intervening Event, subject to the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The obligation of each Acquired Fund to effect the applicable Merger is also subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by such Acquired Fund, at or prior to the Effective Time, of the following conditions:
| • | | the representations and warranties of FSIC II and the applicable Merger Sub, pertaining to: |
| (1) | the authorized and outstanding capital stock of FSIC II are true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date other than for de minimis inaccuracies (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date); |

Cross-Conditionality
As summarized below, Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) is a condition to each of the other Mergers. As summarized below, no other Merger is a condition of any other Merger.
| | |
Scenario | | Consequence |
• Merger 1A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC III) does not occur | | • No Merger will occur |
• Merger 2A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and CCT II) does not occur | | • Merger 2B will not occur • Merger 1A, Merger 1B, Merger 3A and Merger 3B may occur subject to the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions |
• Merger 3A (involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSIC II and FSIC IV) does not occur | | • Merger 3B will not occur • Merger 1A, Merger 1B, Merger 2A and Merger 2B may occur subject to the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions |
Frustration of Closing Conditions
No party to the Merger Agreement may rely on the failure of any condition applicable to the other party to be satisfied to excuse performance by such party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the applicable Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.
122
Termination of the Merger Agreement
Right to Terminate
The Merger Agreement may be terminated as to Merger 1A, Merger 2A or Merger 3A at any time prior to the applicable Effective Time, whether before or after approval of the applicable Stockholder Matters:

123
| not curable prior to the Termination Date or if curable prior to the Termination Date, has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice thereof by FSIC II to the applicable Acquired Fund, as the case may be (provided that FSIC II is not then in material breach so as to result in the failure of a closing condition of the applicable Acquired Fund); |
| ¡ | | prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the FSIC III Stockholder Matters by the FSIC III Stockholders with respect to Merger 1A, the CCT II Stockholder Matters by the CCT II Stockholders with respect to Merger 2A or the approval of the FSIC IV Stockholder Matters with respect to Merger 3A, (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change occurs with respect to an Acquired Fund, and/or an Acquired Fund adopts, approves or recommends a Takeover Proposal, (B) the applicable Acquired Fund fails to recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the applicable Stockholder Matters, (C) a Takeover Proposal is publicly announced and the applicable Acquired Fund fails to issue, within ten (10) business days after such Takeover Proposal is announced, a press release that reaffirms the recommendation of its board of directors or trustees, as applicable, that its stockholders vote in favor of the applicable Stockholder Matters or (D) (i) a tender or exchange offer relating to any shares of such Acquired Fund has been commenced by a third party and such Acquired Fund did not send to its stockholders, within ten (10) business days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer, a statement disclosing that the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Acquired Fund recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer or (ii) a tender or exchange offer relating to any shares of the applicable Acquired Fund’s common stock has been commenced by a third party and the applicable Acquired Fund did not send to its stockholders, within ten (10) business days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer, a statement disclosing that the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Acquired Fund recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; |

Effect of Termination
If the Merger Agreement is terminated with respect to Merger 1A, the Merger Agreement shall become void and have no force and effect. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated with respect to any of Merger 2A or Merger 3A by any of the Acquired Funds, the Merger Agreement shall become void and have no effect only with respect to such Merger. Following termination with respect to any Merger or all of the Mergers, there will be no liability on the part of FSIC II, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, FSIC III, CCT II, FSIC IV or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers in respect of such Merger, except that the Fund Parties will remain liable to each other for any damages incurred arising out of any willful or intentional breach of the Merger Agreement or a failure or refusal by a party to consummate the Mergers when such party was obligated to do so in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or an amendment to the Merger Agreement. In the event of the termination of the Merger Agreement with respect to Merger 2A or Merger 3A, as the case may be, CCT II or FSIC IV, as the case may be, shall no longer be construed as a party to the Merger Agreement except as expressly provided in the Merger Agreement.
Expenses and Fees
In general, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Mergers are consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) costs and expenses of printing and mailing this document and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Mergers, and (ii) all filing and other fees in connection with any filing under the HSR Act, will, in each case, be borne by the applicable Fund Parties in accordance with the percentage equal to the quotient of (A) such Fund Party’s assets under management as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter divided by (B) the aggregate assets under management of FSIC II and each of the Acquired Funds, in each case calculated as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.
124
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE MERGERS
Management has performed an analysis and determined that the Mergers are asset acquisitions and that FSIC II will be the accounting survivor of each Merger. Therefore, the Mergers will be accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting by FSIC II in accordance withASC 805-50,Business Combinations—Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. Per ASC805-50-30-1, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s records. ASC805-50-30-2 goes on to say asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on the cost to the acquiring entity or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measured.
The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than“non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill.
The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the Mergers are completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated relative fair values of the Acquired Funds’ assets and liabilities. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets, commitments, and other items of the Acquired Funds as compared to the information shown in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may occur. Accordingly, the final adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
125
CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS AND THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction, including an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock to FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV stockholders. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of the income tax consequences of the Mergers applicable to an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock. For example, FSIC II has not described tax consequences that may be relevant to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax,tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect tomark-to-market their securities holdings for tax purposes, persons that have a functional currency (as defined in Section 985 of the Code) other than the U.S. dollar, pension plans and trusts, and financial institutions. This summary assumes that investors hold FSIC II’s Common Stock as capital assets (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code). The discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as of the date of this document and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. For purposes of this discussion, references to “dividends” include dividends within the meaning of the applicable U.S. federal income tax laws and associated regulations, and may include amounts distributed from sources other than listed under Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act.
FSIC II has not sought and will not seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of any of the Mergers or any related transactions. This summary does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate or gift tax or foreign, state or local tax. It does not discuss the special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws that could result if FSIC II invested intax-exempt securities or certain other investment assets. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors and financial planners as to the particular tax consequences of the Mergers to you, as applicable, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign laws and the effect of possible changes in applicable tax laws.
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers
Tax Consequences if the Mergers Qualify as Reorganizations
The obligation of FSIC II to consummate each of the Mergers is contingent upon its receipt of an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to FSIC II, or alternatively from counsel to FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV, and the obligation of each of the Acquired Funds to consummate each of the Mergers is contingent upon its receipt of an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV, or alternatively from counsel to FSIC II, generally to the effect that each of the Mergers will qualify as a “reorganization,” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, with respect to each of the Fund Parties. If the Mergers qualify as reorganizations, then generally for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| • | | no gain or loss will be recognized by FSIC II upon receipt of each of the Acquired Funds’assets in exchange for FSIC II Common Stock and the assumption by FSIC II of the liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds; |
| • | | FSIC II’s tax basis in the assets of each of the Acquired Funds transferred to FSIC II in the Mergers will be the same as such Acquired Fund’s tax basis in the assets immediately prior to the transfer; |
| • | | FSIC II’s holding periods for the assets of each of the Acquired Funds will include the periods during which such assets were held by the respective Acquired Fund; |
| • | | no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund Parties (i) upon the transfer of FSIC III’s assets to FSIC II, CCT II’s assets to FSIC II or FSIC IV’s assets to FSIC II in exchange for FSIC II Common Stock and the assumption by FSIC II of the liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds, or (ii) upon the deemed distribution of FSIC II Common Stock by the Acquired Funds to their respective stockholders; |
| • | | no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Funds’ stockholders upon the exchange of their FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock and FSIC IV Common Stock, respectively, for FSIC II Common Stock, except with respect to cash received instead of a fractional share interest as discussed above; |
| • | | the tax basis of FSIC II Common Stock an FSIC III stockholder receives in connection with the Mergers will be the same as the tax basis of the FSIC III stockholder’s FSIC III Common Stock exchanged therefor, reduced by any tax basis that is properly allocable to any fractional share interest of FSIC II Common Stock that is redeemed for cash, as discussed above; |
| • | | the tax basis of FSIC II Common Stock a CCT II stockholder receives in connection with the Mergers will be the same as the tax basis of the CCT II stockholder’s CCT II Common Stock exchanged therefor, reduced by any tax basis that is properly allocable to any fractional share interest of FSIC II Common Stock that is redeemed for cash, as discussed above; |
126
| • | | the tax basis of FSIC II Common Stock an FSIC IV stockholder receives in connection with the Mergers will be the same as the tax basis of the FSIC IV stockholder’s FSIC IV Common Stock exchanged therefor, reduced by any tax basis that is properly allocable to any fractional share interest of FSIC II Common Stock that is redeemed for cash, as discussed above; |
| • | | a FSIC III stockholder’s holding period for the FSIC III stockholder’s FSIC II Common Stock will include the period for which the FSIC III stockholder held the FSIC III Common Stock exchanged therefor; |
| • | | a CCT II stockholder’s holding period for the CCT II stockholder’s FSIC II Common Stock will include the period for which the CCT II stockholder held the CCT II Common Stock exchanged therefor; |
| • | | a FSIC IV stockholder’s holding period for the FSIC IV stockholder’s FSIC II Common Stock will include the period for which the FSIC IV stockholder held the FSIC IV Common Stock exchanged therefor; and |
| • | | FSIC II will succeed to, and take into account the items of each of the Acquired Funds described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder. |
The tax opinions described above will be based on then-existing law, will be subject to certain assumptions, qualifications and exclusions and will be based in part on the truth and accuracy of certain representations by each of the Fund Parties.
Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares
If a FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV stockholder receives cash instead of a fractional share of FSIC II Common Stock, the FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV stockholder will be treated as having received the fractional share of FSIC II Common Stock pursuant to the applicable Merger and then as having sold that fractional share of FSIC II Common Stock for cash. As a result, each such FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV stockholder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis in his, her or its fractional share of FSIC II Common Stock. This gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the Effective Time, the holding period for the shares (including the holding period of FSIC III Common Stock, CCT II Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock surrendered therefor) is greater than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. U.S. federal backup withholding tax may be imposed on any cash received instead of a fractional share interest.
Utilization of Loss Carryforwards and Unrealized Losses
Each of the Fund Parties is presently entitled to significant loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, limitation under the Code potentially will apply to loss carryforwards and unrealized losses of each of the Acquired Funds if the Acquired Funds’ respective stockholders before any of the Mergers hold less than 50% of the outstanding shares of FSIC II immediately following the relevant Merger. Similarly, limitation under the Code potentially will apply to loss carryforwards and unrealized losses of FSIC II if FSIC II stockholders before any of the Mergers hold less than 50% of the outstanding shares of FSIC II immediately following the relevant Merger.
In this regard, each of the Mergers is expected to result in potential limitations on the ability of FSIC II to use the Acquired Funds’ loss carryforwards and potentially to use unrealized capital losses inherent in the tax basis of the assets acquired, once realized and on the ability of the Acquired Funds’ taxable subsidiaries, if any, to use their net operating loss carryforwards, if any. If it turns out that FSIC II stockholders before the merger hold less than 50% of the outstanding shares of FSIC II immediately following any of the Mergers, the relevant Merger will result in a limitation on the ability of FSIC II to use its capital loss carryforwards and, potentially, to use unrealized capital losses inherent in the tax basis of the assets acquired, once realized and in the ability of FSIC II’s taxable subsidiaries to use their net operating loss carryforwards, if any. These potential limitations generally would be imposed on an annual basis and would be potentially further affected by any netbuilt-in gains orbuilt-in losses, subject to certain applicable thresholds. Losses in excess of the limitation may be carried forward indefinitely for capital loss carryforwards and post-2017non-RIC net operating loss carryforwards whilepre-2018non-RIC net operating loss carryforwards are subject to a20-year expiration from the year incurred. The limitations as to the Fund Parties generally would equal the product of the fair market value of the relevant Fund Party’s equity immediately prior to each of the relevant Mergers and the “long-termtax-exempt rate,” as published quarterly by the IRS, in effect at such time. As of May 2019, the long-termtax-exempt rate is 2.20%. However, no assurance can be given as to what long-termtax-exempt rate will be in effect at the time of the Merger. Similar limitations would apply to a Fund Party’s post-Merger use of a taxable subsidiary’spre-Merger net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards, if any, with an insolvent subsidiary’s losses potentially deferred indefinitely. As of March 31, 2019, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, FSIC II had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $214.1 million and net unrealized losses of approximately $254.4 million, plus FSIC II’s taxable subsidiaries had net operating
127
loss carryforwards of approximately $86.9 million and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $2.1 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2019, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, FSIC III had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $138.5 million and net unrealized losses of approximately $181.4 million plus FSIC III’s taxable subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $0.5 million in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2018, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, CCT II had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $0.5 million and net unrealized losses of approximately $8.5 million. As of March 31, 2019, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, FSIC IV had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $3.2 million and net unrealized losses of approximately $8.1 million. These figures are likely to change by the date of the Mergers and do not reflect the impact of the Mergers including, in particular, the application of the loss limitation rules described herein or the materiality of the loss limitation.
FSIC II will be prohibited from using its capital loss carryforwards and unrealized losses (once realized) against the unrealized gains in each Acquired Fund’s portfolio at the time of the relevant Merger, if any, to the extent such gains are realized within five years following such Merger, if any of the Acquired Funds has a net unrealized built in gain at the time of the relevant Merger. The ability of FSIC II to absorb its losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance. Even if FSIC II is able to utilize its capital loss carryforwards or unrealized losses, the tax benefit resulting from those losses will be shared by all Fund Party stockholders following the relevant Merger. Therefore, a stockholder of any of the Fund Parties may pay more taxes, or pay taxes sooner, than such stockholder otherwise would have paid if the Mergers did not occur.
FSIC II will also be prohibited from using the Acquired Funds’ capital loss carryforwards and unrealized losses (once realized) against the unrealized gains in FSIC II’s portfolio at the time of the Mergers, if any, to the extent such gains are realized within five years following the Mergers, if FSIC II has a net unrealized built in gain at the time of the Mergers. The ability of FSIC II to use the Acquired Funds’ losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance. Even if FSIC II is able to utilize capital loss carryforwards or unrealized losses of the Acquired Funds, the tax benefit resulting from those losses will be shared by all Fund Party stockholders following the relevant Mergers. Therefore, a stockholder of any of the Acquired Funds may pay more taxes, or pay taxes sooner, than such stockholder otherwise would have paid if the Mergers did not occur.
Further, in addition to the other limitations on the use of losses, under Section 381 of the Code, for the tax year of the Mergers, only that percentage of FSIC II’s Capital Gain Net Income (as defined below) for such tax year (excluding capital loss carryforwards), if any, equal to the percentage of its tax year that remains following the Mergers can be reduced by the Acquired Funds’ respective capital loss carryforwards (as otherwise limited under Sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code, as described above).
A RIC cannot carry forward or carry back any net operating losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, FSIC II cannot use any net operating losses inherited from the Acquired Funds in the Mergers.
Status as a Regulated Investment Company
All of the Fund Parties believe they have qualified, and expect to continue to qualify, as RICs. Accordingly, they believe that they have not been, and expect to continue not to be, subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that they have made or make distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to their stockholders, each tax year, generally of an amount at least 90% of their respective “investment company taxable income,” which is generally net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.
If any of the Fund Parties were unable to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, they would be subject to tax on all of their taxable income at regular corporate rates, regardless of whether they make any distributions to their stockholders. Distributions would not be required, and any distributions generally would be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Subject to certain additional limitations in the Code, such distributions would be eligible for the preferential maximum rate applicable to individual stockholders with respect to qualifying dividends. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain.
Moreover, if any of the Fund Parties fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, to qualify again to be subject to tax as a RIC in a subsequent tax year, they would be required to distribute their earnings and profits attributable to any of theirnon-RIC tax
128
years as dividends to their stockholders. In addition, if any of them fail to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two consecutive tax years, to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year they may be subject to regular corporate tax on any netbuilt-in gains with respect to certain assets (that is, the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if they had sold the property at fair market value at the end of the tax year) that they elect to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five tax years.
Distribution of Income and Gains
Each Acquire Fund’s tax year is expected to end as a result of the Mergers. The Acquired Funds generally will be required to declare to their stockholders of record one or more distributions of all of its previously undistributed net investment income and net realized capital gain (if any), including capital gain realized on any securities disposed of in connection with the Mergers, in order to maintain such Acquired Fund’s treatment as a RIC during its tax year ending with the date of the Mergers and to eliminate any U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income in respect of such tax year.
Moreover, if FSIC II has net investment income or net realized capital gain, but has not distributed such income or gain prior to the Mergers and you acquire shares of FSIC II Common Stock in the Mergers, a portion of your subsequent distributions from FSIC II may, in effect, be a taxable return of part of your investment. Similarly, if you acquire FSIC II Common Stock in the Mergers when FSIC II holds appreciated securities, you may receive a taxable return of part of your investment if and when FSIC II sells the appreciated securities and distributes the realized gain.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation of an Investment in FSIC II Common Stock
The following discussion summarizes the U.S. federal income taxation of an investment in FSIC II Common Stock. This discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. You should consult your tax advisor about your specific tax situation.
A “U.S. stockholder” generally is a beneficial owner of shares of FSIC II Common Stock who is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| • | | a citizen or individual resident of the United States; |
| • | | a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; |
| • | | a trust, if a court in the United States has primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons (as defined under the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person; or |
| • | | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source. |
A“Non-U.S. stockholder” generally is a beneficial owner of shares of FSIC II Common Stock that is not a U.S. stockholder nor a partnership (or entity treated like a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of FSIC II Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A prospective stockholder that is a partner in a partnership holding shares of FSIC II Common Stock should consult his, her or its tax advisers with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of FSIC II Common Stock.
Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences to an investor of an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock will depend on the facts of his, her or its particular situation. Stockholders of the Acquired Funds should consult their own tax advisers regarding the specific consequences of the Mergers, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability of federal, state, local and foreign tax laws, eligibility for the benefits of any applicable tax treaty and the effect of any possible changes in the tax laws.
Election to be Taxed as a Regulated Investment Company.FSIC II has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, FSIC II generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it timely distributes each tax year as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders. To qualify for and maintain its qualification as a RIC, FSIC II must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements (as described below). In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax
129
treatment, FSIC II must distribute to its stockholders, for each tax year, distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the sum of FSIC II’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”).
Taxation as a RIC. If FSIC II:
| • | | qualifies as a RIC; and |
| • | | satisfies the Annual Distribution Requirement |
then it will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its income or capital gains it distributes (or is deemed to distribute) as distributions to its stockholders. FSIC II will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any income or capital gains not distributed (or deemed distributed) as distributions to its stockholders.
As a RIC, FSIC II will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless it distributes amounts treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a timely manner to its stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses (“capital gain net income”) (as 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 it did not incur any U.S. federal income tax (the “Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement”). Any distribution treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes declared by FSIC II 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 FSIC II, as well as received by its U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. FSIC II generally will endeavor in each tax year to avoid incurring any material U.S. federal excise tax on its earnings.
FSIC II has previously incurred, and may incur in the future, such excise tax on a portion of its income and capital gains. While FSIC II intends to distribute income and capital gains to minimize exposure to the 4% excise tax, it may not be able to, or may choose not to, distribute amounts sufficient to avoid the imposition of the tax entirely. In that event, FSIC II generally will be liable for the excise tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement. Under certain circumstances, however, FSIC II may, in its sole discretion, determine that it is in FSIC II’s best interests to retain a portion of its income or capital gains rather than distribute such amount as dividends and accordingly cause FSIC II to bear the excise tax burden associated therewith.
In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, FSIC II must, among other things:
| • | | continue to qualify as a BDC under the 1940 Act at all times during each tax year; |
| • | | satisfy the 90% Income Test; and |
| • | | satisfy the Diversification Tests. |
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its investment company taxable income. If FSIC II’s deductible expenses in a given tax year exceed its investment company taxable income, FSIC II may incur a net operating loss for that tax year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent tax years and such net operating losses do not pass through to its stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, the excess of realized capital losses over realized capital gains) to offset its investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset future capital gains, indefinitely. Due to these limits on deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, FSIC II may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several tax years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to its stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the net income FSIC II actually earns during those tax years.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, FSIC II may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which it does not receive a corresponding payment in cash. For example, if FSIC II holds debt instruments that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, increasing interest rates or debt instruments that were issued with warrants), it must include in income each tax year a portion of the
130
original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by it in the same tax year. FSIC II may also have to include in income other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are paid innon-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. FSIC II anticipates that a portion of its income may constitute original issue discount or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash. Also, recent tax legislation requires that income by recognized to tax purposes no later than when recognized for financial reporting purposes, which may require, pending further regulatory guidance, that FSIC II amortize market discount currently. Further, FSIC II elected to amortize market discount and include such amounts in its taxable income in the current tax year, instead of upon their disposition, as an election not to do so would limit FSIC II’s ability to deduct interest expense for tax purposes.
FSIC II invests a portion of its net assets in below investment grade instruments. Investments in these types of instruments may present special tax issues for FSIC II. U.S. federal income tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as when FSIC II may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent deductions may be taken for bad debts or worthless instruments, how payments received on obligations in default should be allocated between principal and income and whether exchanges of debt instruments in a bankruptcy or workout context are taxable. FSIC II will address these and other issues to the extent necessary in order to seek to ensure that FSIC II distributes sufficient income to avoid any material U.S. federal income or excise tax.
Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in its investment company taxable income for the tax year of the accrual, FSIC II may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though it will not have received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, FSIC II may have difficulty meeting the Annual Distribution Requirement necessary to maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. FSIC II may have to sell or otherwise dispose of some of its investments at times and/or at prices it would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If FSIC II is not able to obtain cash from other sources, it may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
If FSIC II acquires the equity securities of certainnon-U.S. entities classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that earn at least 75% of their annual gross income from passive sources (such as interest, dividends, rents, royalties or capital gain) or hold at least 50% of their total assets in investments producing such passive income, FSIC II could be subject to federal income tax and additional interest charges on “excess distributions” received from such passive foreign investment companies, or PFICs, or gain from the sale of stock in such PFICs, even if all income or gain actually received by FSIC II is timely distributed to its stockholders. FSIC II would not be able to pass through to its stockholders any credit or deduction for such a tax. Certain elections may, if available, ameliorate these adverse tax consequences, but any such election could require FSIC II to recognize taxable income or gain without the concurrent receipt of cash. FSIC II intends to limit and/or manage its holdings in PFICs to minimize FSIC II’s liability for any such taxes and related interest charges.
If FSIC II holds greater than 10% of the interests treated as equity (by vote or value) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a foreign corporation that is treated as a controlled foreign corporation, or CFC, FSIC II may be treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each tax year from such foreign corporation in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the corporation’s income for such tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains), whether or not the corporation makes an actual distribution during such tax year. FSIC II would be required to include the amount of a deemed distribution from a CFC when computing its investment company taxable income as well as in determining whether FSIC II satisfies the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, even to the extent the amount of its income deemed recognized from the CFC exceeds the amount of any actual distributions from the CFC and its proceeds from any sales or other dispositions of CFC stock during a tax year. In general, a foreign corporation will be considered a CFC if greater than 50% of the shares of the corporation, measured by reference to combined voting power or value, is owned (directly, indirectly or by attribution) by U.S. Stockholders. A “U.S. Stockholder,” for this purpose, is any U.S. person that possesses (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of shares of a foreign corporation.
Under recent Treasury Regulations, certain income derived by FSIC II from a CFC or PFIC with respect to which it has made a qualified electing fund, or QEF, election would generally constitute qualifying income for purposes of determining FSIC II’s ability to be subject to tax as a RIC only whether or not the CFC or the PFIC makes distributions of that income to FSIC II if the income is derived with respect to FSIC II’s business of investing in securities.
FSIC II and the companies in which it invests are generally subject to certain leverage limitations regarding the deductibility of interest expense.
131
FSIC II’s functional currency, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is the U.S. dollar. Under the Code, foreign exchange gains and losses realized by FSIC II in connection with certain transactions involving foreign currencies, or payables or receivables denominated in a foreign currency, as well as certainnon-U.S. dollar denominated debt securities, certain foreign currency futures contracts, foreign currency option contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, and similar financial instruments are subject to Code provisions that generally treat such gains and losses as ordinary income and losses and may affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to FSIC II’s stockholders. Any such transactions that are not directly related to FSIC II’s investment in securities (possibly including speculative currency positions or currency derivatives not used for hedging purposes) also could, under future U.S. Treasury regulations, produce income not among the types of “qualifying income” for purposes of the 90% Income Test.
Although FSIC II does not presently expect to do so, it is authorized to borrow funds and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets in order to satisfy distribution requirements. However, under the 1940 Act, FSIC II is not permitted to make distributions to its stockholders while its debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain “asset coverage” tests are met. See “Regulation of the Fund Parties—Senior Securities.” Moreover, FSIC II’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of assets to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of its portfolio and/or (2) other requirements relating to its status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If FSIC II sells or otherwise disposes of assets in order to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement or the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement, it may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.
A portfolio company in which FSIC II invests may face financial difficulties that require FSIC II towork-out, modify or otherwise restructure its investment in the portfolio company. Any such transaction could, depending upon the specific terms of the transaction, result in unusable capital losses and futurenon-cash income. Any such transaction could also result in FSIC II receiving assets that give rise tonon-qualifying income for purposes of the 90% Income Test or otherwise would not count toward satisfying the Diversification Tests.
Some of the income that FSIC II might otherwise earn, such as fees for providing managerial assistance, certain fees earned with respect to its investments, income recognized in awork-out or restructuring of a portfolio investment, or income recognized from an equity investment in an operating partnership, may not satisfy the 90% Income Test. To manage the risk that such income might disqualify FSIC II as a RIC for failure to satisfy the 90% Income Test, one or more subsidiary entities treated as U.S. corporations for entity-level income tax purposes may be employed to earn such income and (if applicable) hold the related asset. Such subsidiary entities will be subject to entity-level income tax on their earnings, which ultimately will reduce the yield to FSIC II stockholders on such fees and income.
The remainder of this discussion assumes that FSIC II maintains its qualification as a RIC and has satisfied the Annual Distribution Requirement.
Taxation of U.S. Stockholders
This subsection applies to U.S. stockholders, only. If you are not a U.S. stockholder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to “Taxation ofNon-U.S. Stockholders,” below.
Distributions by FSIC II, including distributions pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan or where a stockholder can elect to receive cash or stock, generally are taxable to U.S. stockholders as ordinary income or capital gains. Distributions of FSIC II’s investment company taxable income (which is generally the sum of its net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses) will be taxable as ordinary income to U.S. stockholders to the extent of its current or accumulated earnings and profits, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock. To the extent such distributions paid by FSIC II tonon-corporate stockholders (including individuals) are attributable to dividends from U.S. corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations, such distributions, or qualifying dividends, may be eligible for a maximum tax rate of either 15% or 20%, depending on whether the stockholder’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. In this regard, it is anticipated that distributions paid by FSIC II will generally not be attributable to dividends and, therefore, generally will not qualify for the preferential maximum rate applicable to qualifying dividends or for the corporate dividends received deduction. Distributions of FSIC II’s net capital gains (which is generally its realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) properly reported by FSIC II as “capital gain dividends” will be taxable to a U.S. stockholder as long-term capital gains that are currently generally taxable at a maximum rate of either 15% or 20% (depending on whether the stockholder’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts) in the case of individuals, trusts or estates, regardless of the U.S. stockholder’s holding period for his, her or its common stock and regardless of whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock. Distributions in excess of FSIC II’s earnings and profits first will reduce a U.S. stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in such stockholder’s common stock and, after the adjusted basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to such U.S. stockholder.
132
If a U.S. stockholder receives distributions in the form of FSIC II Common Stock pursuant to FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan, such stockholder generally will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if it received distributions in cash. In that case, a stockholder will be treated as receiving a distribution generally of an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of FSIC II Common Stock. Any shares of FSIC II Common 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 FSIC II Common Stock are credited to the U.S. stockholder’s account.
FSIC II may in the future decide to retain some or all of its net capital gains, but report the retained amount as a “deemed distribution.” In that case, among other consequences, FSIC II will pay tax on the retained amount, each U.S. stockholder will be required to include his, her or its share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been actually distributed to the U.S. stockholder, and the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit equal to his, her or its allocable share of the tax paid thereon by FSIC II. The amount of the deemed distribution net of such tax will be added to the U.S. stockholder’s tax basis for his, her or its shares of FSIC II Common Stock. Since FSIC II expects to pay tax on any retained capital gains at its regular corporate income tax rate, and since that rate is in excess of the maximum rate currently payable by individuals on long-term capital gains, the amount of tax that individual stockholders will be treated as having paid and for which they will receive a credit will exceed the tax they owe on the retained net capital gain. Such excess generally may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s other U.S. federal income tax obligations or may be refunded to the extent it exceeds a stockholder’s liability for U.S. federal income tax. A stockholder that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax or otherwise required to file a U.S. federal income tax return would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return on the appropriate form in order to claim a refund for the taxes FSIC II paid. In order to use the deemed distribution approach, FSIC II must provide written notice to its stockholders prior to the expiration of 60 days after the close of the relevant tax year. FSIC II cannot retain any portion of its investment company taxable income as a “deemed distribution.”
For purposes of determining (1) whether the Annual Distribution Requirement is satisfied for any tax year and (2) the amount of distributions paid for that tax year, FSIC II may, under certain circumstances, elect to treat a distribution that is paid during the following tax year as if it had been paid during the tax year in question. If FSIC II makes such an election, the U.S. stockholder will still be treated as receiving the distribution in the tax year in which the distribution is made. However, any distribution declared by FSIC II in 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 received by FSIC II’s U.S. stockholders on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared.
If an investor acquires shares of FSIC II Common Stock shortly before the record date of a distribution, the price of the shares will include the value of the distribution and the investor will be subject to tax on the distribution even though economically it may represent a return of his, her or its investment.
A stockholder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss if the stockholder sells or otherwise disposes of his, her or its shares of FSIC II Common Stock. The amount of gain or loss will be measured by the difference between such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the FSIC II Common Stock sold and the amount of the proceeds received in exchange. Any gain arising from such sale or disposition generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the stockholder has held his, her or its shares for more than one year. Otherwise, it will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss arising from the sale or disposition of shares of FSIC II Common Stock held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received, or undistributed capital gain deemed received, with respect to such shares. In addition, all or a portion of any loss recognized upon a disposition of shares of FSIC II Common Stock may be disallowed if other shares of FSIC II Common Stock are purchased (whether through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after the disposition.
In general,non-corporate U.S. stockholders currently are generally subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of either 15% or 20% (depending on whether the stockholder’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts) on their net capital gain (i.e., the excess of realized net long-term capital gains over realized net short-term capital losses), including any long-term capital gain derived from an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock. Such rate is lower than the maximum rate on ordinary income currently payable by individuals. An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from FSIC II and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of shares of FSIC II Common Stock) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts. Corporate U.S. stockholders currently are subject to U.S. federal income tax on net capital gain at the maximum 35% rate also applied to ordinary income.Non-corporate stockholders with net capital losses for a year (i.e., capital losses in excess of capital gains) generally may deduct up to $3,000 of such losses against their ordinary income each year; any net capital losses of anon-corporate stockholder in excess of $3,000 generally may be carried forward
133
and used in subsequent tax years as provided in the Code. Corporate stockholders generally may not deduct any net capital losses for any tax year, but may carry back such losses for three tax years or carry forward such losses for five tax years.
FSIC II (or if a U.S. stockholder holds shares through an intermediary, such intermediary) will send to each of its U.S. stockholders, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a notice detailing, on a per share and per distribution basis, the amounts includible in such U.S. stockholder’s taxable income for such year as ordinary income and as long-term capital gain. In addition, the federal tax status of each year’s distributions generally will be reported to the IRS (including the amount of distributions, if any, eligible for the preferential maximum rate). Distributions paid by FSIC II generally will not be eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate applicable to qualifying dividends because FSIC II’s income generally will not consist of qualifying dividends. Distributions may also be subject to additional state, local and foreign taxes depending on a U.S. stockholder’s particular situation.
The Code requires reporting of adjusted cost basis information for covered securities, which generally include shares of a RIC acquired after January 1, 2012, to the IRS and to taxpayers. Stockholders should contact their financial intermediaries with respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for their accounts.
Under U.S. Treasury regulations, if a U.S. stockholder recognizes a loss with respect to shares of FSIC II Common Stock of $2 million or more in the case of an individual stockholder or $10 million or more in the case of a corporate stockholder in any single tax year (or a greater loss over a combination of tax years), such U.S. stockholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Direct U.S. stockholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, U.S. stockholders of a RIC are not excepted. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to stockholders of most or all RICs. The fact that a loss is reportable by a taxpayer under these U.S. Treasury regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisers to determine the applicability of these U.S. Treasury regulations in light of their individual circumstances.
FSIC II may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax, or backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, from all distributions to anynon-corporate U.S. stockholder (1) who fails to furnish FSIC II with a correct taxpayer identification number or a certificate that such stockholder is exempt from backup withholding or (2) with respect to whom the IRS notifies FSIC II that such stockholder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect. An individual’s taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. Any amount withheld under backup withholding is allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that proper information is provided to the IRS.
Taxation ofNon-U.S. Stockholders
This subsection applies toNon-U.S. stockholders, only. If you are a U.S. stockholder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to “Taxation of U.S. Stockholders,” above. Whether an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock is appropriate for aNon-U.S. stockholder will depend upon that person’s particular circumstances. An investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock by aNon-U.S. stockholder may have adverse tax consequences.Non-U.S. stockholders of the Acquired Funds should consult their tax advisers before approving the applicable Mergers and the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the discussion in “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” below, distributions of FSIC II’s investment company taxable income made toNon-U.S. stockholders (including interest income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized long-term capital losses, which generally would be free of withholding if paid toNon-U.S. stockholders directly) generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided by an applicable treaty) to the extent of FSIC II’s current and accumulated earnings and profits unless an applicable exception applies. If the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of theNon-U.S. stockholder, FSIC II will not be required to withhold U.S. federal tax if theNon-U.S. stockholder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements, although the distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons. (Special certification requirements apply to aNon-U.S. stockholder that is a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, and such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisers.)
In addition, subject to the discussion in “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” below, distributions of FSIC II’s investment company taxable income made toNon-U.S. stockholders will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if (i) the distributions are properly reported in a notice timely delivered toNon-U.S. stockholders as “interest-related dividends” or “short-term capital gain dividends,” (ii) the distributions are derived from sources specified in the Code for such dividends and (iii) certain other requirements are satisfied. No assurance can be given as to whether any amount of FSIC II’s distributions will be eligible for this exemption from withholding or, if eligible, will be reported as such by us.
134
Subject to the discussion in “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” below, actual or deemed distributions of FSIC II’s net capital gains to aNon-U.S. stockholder, and gains realized by aNon-U.S. stockholder upon the sale of FSIC II Common Stock, will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless (i) the distributions or gains, as the case may be, are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of theNon-U.S. stockholder and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by theNon-U.S. stockholder in the United States, or (ii) in the case of an individual stockholder, the stockholder is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale or the receipt of the distributions or gains and certain other conditions are met.
If FSIC II distributes its net capital gains in the form of deemed rather than actual distributions, aNon-U.S. stockholder will be entitled to a U.S. federal income tax credit or tax refund equal to the stockholder’s allocable share of the tax FSIC II pays on the capital gains deemed to have been distributed. In order to obtain the refund, theNon-U.S. stockholder must obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and file a U.S. federal income tax return even if theNon-U.S. stockholder would not otherwise be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number or file a U.S. federal income tax return. For a corporateNon-U.S. stockholder, distributions (both actual and deemed), and gains realized upon the sale of FSIC II Common Stock that are effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate if provided for by an applicable treaty). Accordingly, investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock may not be appropriate for aNon-U.S. stockholder.
ANon-U.S. stockholder who is anon-resident alien individual, and who is otherwise subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on dividends unless theNon-U.S. stockholder provides FSIC II or the dividend paying agent with a U.S. nonresident withholding tax certificate (e.g., an IRS FormW-8BEN, an IRS FormW-8BEN-E or an acceptable substitute form) or otherwise meets documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is aNon-U.S. stockholder or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding.
Non-U.S. stockholders may also be subject to U.S. estate tax with respect to their investment in FSIC II Common Stock.
Non-U.S. persons should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the U.S. federal income tax and withholding tax, and state, local and foreign tax consequences of the Mergers.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
FSIC II is required to withhold U.S. tax (at a 30% rate) on payments of taxable dividends and (effective January 1, 2019) redemption proceeds and certain capital gain dividends made to certainnon-U.S. entities that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. The information required to be reported includes the identity and taxpayer identification number of each account holder and transaction activity within the holder’s account. Stockholders may be requested to provide additional information to FSIC II to enable FSIC II to determine whether such withholding is required.
Failure to Qualify as a RIC
If FSIC II fails to satisfy the 90% Income Test or any Diversification Test in any tax year, FSIC II may be eligible to avail itself of certain relief provisions under the Code if the failures are due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, and if a penalty tax is paid with respect to each failure in satisfaction of the applicable requirements. Additionally, relief is provided for certain de minimis failures of the Diversification Tests where FSIC II corrects a failure within a specified period. If the applicable relief provisions are not available or cannot be met, all of FSIC II’s income will be subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax as described below. FSIC II cannot provide assurance that it would qualify for any such relief should it fail either the 90% Income Test or any Diversification Test.
If FSIC II were unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, it would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate rates, regardless of whether it makes any distributions to its stockholders. Distributions would not be required, and any distributions would generally be taxable to FSIC II stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Subject to certain additional limitations in the Code, such distributions would be eligible for the preferential maximum rate applicable to individual stockholders with respect to qualifying dividends. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Distributions in excess of FSIC II’s current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. Moreover, if FSIC II fails to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, to qualify again to be subject to tax as a RIC in a subsequent tax year, FSIC II would be required to distribute its earnings and profits attributable to any of itsnon-RIC
135
tax years as dividends to its stockholders. In addition, if FSIC II fails to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two consecutive tax years, to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year FSIC II may be subject to regular corporate income tax on any netbuilt-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (that is, the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if FSIC II had sold the property at fair market value at the end of the tax year) that it elects to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five tax years.
State and Local Taxes
FSIC II may be subject to state or local taxes in jurisdictions in which it is deemed to be doing business. In those states or localities, FSIC II’s entity-level tax treatment and the treatment of distributions made to stockholders under those jurisdictions’ tax laws may differ from the treatment under the Code. Accordingly, an investment in shares of FSIC II Common Stock may have tax consequences for stockholders that are different from those of a direct investment in FSIC II’s portfolio investments. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers concerning state and local tax matters.
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences related to the Recapitalization Transaction
FSIC II is considering, subject to final approval of the FSIC II Board, the issuance to all holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of 5.5% perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV. Any preferred stock received by holders of FSIC II Common Stock in the Recapitalization Transaction will constitute “Section 306 stock” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any cash received by such stockholder in lieu of fractional shares of preferred stock generally will be treated as ordinary dividend income.
In general, the amount realized by a stockholder upon a disposition of the preferred stock (other than (i) a redemption, which is discussed below or (ii) a disposition resulting in a complete termination (both FSIC II Common Stock and preferred shares) of the stockholder’s entire actual and constructive stock ownership interest in FSIC II, which is discussed below) will be treated as ordinary income (and will not be offset by the adjusted tax basis in such stock), but only to the extent that such proceeds do not exceed the amount which would have been treated as a dividend at the time of the issuance of the preferred stock if (in lieu of such preferred stock) FSIC II had distributed to the holders of FSIC II Common Stock cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such preferred stock. Any excess of the amount realized over the sum of (i) the amount treated as ordinary income upon disposition plus (ii) the adjusted tax basis in such stock, will be treated as a capital gain. No loss will be recognized upon such disposition of Section 306 stock. The adjusted tax basis in shares of preferred stock that are disposed of that is not used to offset any amount realized from such disposition under the foregoing rules generally will be added to the adjusted tax basis of a FSIC II Common Stock owned by the stockholder. In addition, a disposition (other than a redemption) of Section 306 stock will not give rise to ordinary income, and loss may be recognized, if such disposition terminates the stockholder’s entire actual and constructive stock ownership interest in FSIC II.
In general, the amount realized by a stockholder in redemption of such preferred stock, if such a redemption were to occur but no such redemption is currently planned, will not be offset by the adjusted tax basis in such stock and will result in dividend income treatment to the extent of FSIC II’s then available earnings and profits unless the redemption completely terminates the stockholder’s entire actual and constructive ownership interest in FSIC II or is a redemption in partial or complete liquidation of FSIC II. Corporations may be eligible for a dividends-received deduction for amounts received that are treated as a dividend under these rules.
Due to the inherently factual nature of the application of Sections 306 of the Code, stockholders should consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences under these provisions.

FSIC II PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGERS
FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the following transactions:
| • | | At Effective Time 1A, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III. FSIC III will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of Effective Time 1A, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 will cease. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 1A, and in accordance with the MGCL, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate corporate existence of FSIC III will cease and all outstanding shares of FSIC III Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration shall be exchanged therefor.

CCT II will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 2A and in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and the MGCL, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate existence of CCT II will cease and all outstanding CCT II Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration will be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. |
| • | | At Effective Time 3A, Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into FSIC IV. FSIC IV will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.

FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. |
Please see “The Mergers” and “Description of the Merger Agreement” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the reasons the FSIC II Board has recommended that FSIC II stockholders vote for the FSIC II Merger Proposal.
Vote Required
Approval of the FSIC II Merger Proposal is required for completion of the Mergers. FSIC II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the FSIC II Merger Proposal. A vote for the FSIC II Merger Proposal will be a vote to approve each of the Mergers. The affirmative vote “FOR” the FSIC II Merger Proposal of a majority of the outstanding shares of FSIC II Common Stock entitled to vote at the FSIC II Annual Meeting is necessary for approval of the FSIC II Merger Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the FSIC II Merger Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the FSIC II Merger Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC II STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE FSIC II MERGER PROPOSAL.
137
FSIC II PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS OF THE ISSUANCE TO ALL HOLDERS OF FSIC II COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE MERGERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS OF SHARES OF A NEW CLASS OF PREFERRED STOCK OF FSIC II WITH AN AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE COMBINED COMPANY’S NET ASSET VALUE
FSIC II is considering, subject to final approval of the FSIC II Board, the issuance to all holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV. It is anticipated the shares of preferred stock will have an annual preferred dividend of 5.5%, which will be paid quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 as declared by the FSIC II Board, and in each case, will be paid prior to dividends on shares of FSIC II Common Stock. The preferred stock will rank senior in right of payment to shares of FSIC II Common Stock, will rank equal in right of payment with any other series of preferred shares FSIC II may issue in the future and will be subordinated in right of payment to FSIC II’s and its subsidiaries’ existing and future indebtedness. It is anticipated that the preferred stock will provide current income for stockholders and will help align the dividend yield, dividend coverage and return on equity of the combined company’s common stock to a competitive level with some of the largest publicly traded BDCs.
It is contemplated that the holders of shares of preferred stock will not have voting rights in respect of their shares of preferred stock, except that they will, voting as a separate class, be entitled to appoint two directors to FSIC II Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is expected that if the preferred stockholders have not received distributions for any two year period, the preferred stockholders shall be given the right to elect the majority of the FSIC II Board.
The liquidation preference of each share of preferred stock is anticipated to be $25.00 per share, and FSIC II expects to value the shares of preferred stock at their liquidation preference.
After the five year anniversary of the Recapitalization Transaction, it is expected that FSIC II will be able to elect, in its discretion, to redeem the preferred stock, in whole or in part, for the liquidation preference per share of preferred stock plus accumulated and unpaid distributions satisfied through a cash payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of the preferred stock are expected to include a provision that provides that if at any time following the Recapitalization Transaction, the FSIC II Board determines in good faith that FSIC II’s breach of the applicable asset coverage ratio requirement is imminent, FSIC II may redeem the preferred stock, in whole or in part, for an amount equal to the liquidation preference per share of preferred stock, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions, satisfied by either (i) a cash payment or (ii) the delivery of FSIC II Common Stock with an aggregate NAV equal to such amount.
It is anticipated the Recapitalization Transaction would occur prior to any Listing. The preferred stock will not be registered upon issuance, and therefore will not be tradeable except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The preferred stock will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated dealer quotation system. FSIC II anticipates that preferred stock will be listed on a national securities exchange at some point in the future following the Listing, but the timing of any such listing remains subject to market conditions as determined by FSIC II in its sole discretion and would require the final approval of the FSIC II Board. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for shares of preferred stock will develop or be maintained. For more information about the risks associated with the Recapitalization Transaction, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers—If the Recapitalization Transaction occurs, stockholders may not be able to resell shares of preferred stock of FSIC II issued in the Recapitalization Transaction because there is not expected to be an established market for such securities, and, in any case, such securities may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference.”
Dividends on shares of preferred stock are expected to be reported as ordinary income on Form1099-DIV. For more information about the tax consequences of the Recapitalization Transactions, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction— Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences related to the Recapitalization Transaction”.
FSIC II is seeking a non-binding, advisory vote of its stockholders on the Recapitalization Transaction because the FSIC II Board is considering whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction following the closing of the Mergers and values the input of FSIC II’s stockholders. However, FSIC II stockholders should note that this vote is advisory only and therefore not binding on FSIC II or the FSIC II Board. Accordingly, this proposal is not a condition to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the FSIC II Board may elect to pursue the Recapitalization Transaction following the Mergers regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal.
138
Vote Required
FSIC II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal of at least a majority of all of the votes cast at the FSIC II Annual Meeting in which a quorum is present is necessary for approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
If a quorum is present at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal is not approved by the FSIC II stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II Board in determining whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction but such vote will be advisory only and not binding on FSIC II.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC II STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION ADVISORY PROPOSAL
139
FSIC II PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE FSIC II CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement of FSIC II, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Second Articles”). If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendments described in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the State Department of Assessment and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “SDAT”), and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT.
A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Provisions Regarding Certain Affiliated Transactions
The FSIC II Charter contains numerous provisions that limit FSIC II’s ability to engage in specific transactions with the Advisor and its affiliates. In general, these provisions require that such transactions (which are referred to herein as “affiliated transactions”) be approved by a majority of FSIC II’s directors (including a majority of its independent directors). These provisions address a number of transactions including joint ventures, sales and leases to and from FSIC II, loans to and from FSIC II, as well as general restrictions on affiliated transactions with the Advisor and its affiliates. The Second Articles would remove these limitations. Maryland law and the 1940 Act contain restrictions on FSIC II’s ability to engage in related-party transactions. Under the MGCL, a transaction with any of FSIC II’s directors or any other entity in which any of its directors is a director or has a material financial interest is not voidable solely because of the interest so long as the transaction is approved by a majority of FSIC II’s independent directors of the transaction is fair and reasonable to FSIC II. Further, under the 1940 Act, FSIC II is prohibited from participating in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates without the prior approval of the majority of the independent directors, and in some cases, the SEC. However, there are risks to this change, as the proposed removal of these provisions increases the risk that FSIC II may pursue affiliated transactions such as those described above, which, if such investments perform poorly, could adversely affect FSIC II’s results of operations and the value of your investment in it. However, the FSIC II Board does not believe that the removal of these limitations related to the Advisor and its affiliates will have an adverse effect on FSIC II because of the protections otherwise afforded by applicable law.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, are the specific changes that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 if FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify certain immaterial changes to the FSIC II Charter or changes that are described as part of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 2 or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Please see the marked version of the FSIC II Charter attached asAnnex B, which reflects all the proposed changes to the FSIC II Charter.
| • | | Deletion of former Section 10.5 regarding limitations on certain affiliated transactions. |
Conforming Changes and Other Ministerial Modifications
The Second Articles, if adopted, would reflect a number of changes and other modifications of a ministerial nature that are necessary in light of the other changes being proposed in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. These changes and modifications include, among other things, deletion and revision of definitions, references and cross-references and other provisions which are no longer applicable to FSIC II or which need to be updated, and the necessaryre-numbering and lettering of remaining provisions.
Conditionality
The approval of each of the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of the Mergers.
140
None of the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals nor the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the Second Articles may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
FSIC II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1. The affirmative vote “FOR” FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast as of the FSIC II Record Date is necessary for approval of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
“FOR” FSIC II MERGER CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 1.
141
FSIC II PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE PROVISIONS OF THE FSIC II CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 2. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendments described in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 2 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 are approved, FSIC II plans to file the Second Articles reflecting approved changes to the FSIC II Charter shortly after the FSIC II Annual Meeting.
A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Provisions RegardingRoll-ups
Article XII of the FSIC II Charter imposes procedural protections relating to transactions in which its stockholders must exchange their shares of FSIC II Common Stock for securities of another entity (a“Roll-Up Transaction”). Among other protections and requirements, an appraisal of FSIC II’s assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be obtained from an independent expert in connection with anyRoll-Up Transaction. Stockholders who vote against any proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be given the choice of (a) accepting the securities of theroll-up entity or (b) either (i) remaining stockholders of FSIC II and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or (ii) receiving cash in an amount equal to their proportionate share of the appraised value of FSIC II. In addition, FSIC II is prohibited from participating in anyRoll-Up Transaction in which certain stockholder rights in theroll-up entity, such as voting and access to records, are less advantageous than those currently provided to stockholders of FSIC II. Further, if theRoll-Up Transaction is not approved by the stockholders, the costs of theRoll-Up Transaction may not be borne by FSIC II. If FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved and the stockholders vote to approve aRoll-Up Transaction, the stockholders will no longer receive the benefit of these protections. However, stockholder approval will continue to be required for FSIC II to effect aRoll-Up Transaction. FSIC II recommends this change to increase FSIC II’s flexibility to enter into aRoll-Up Transaction that the FSIC II Board and the stockholders may believe to be in FSIC II’s best interest.
Summary of Specific Changes
Listed below, in summary form, are the specific changes that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 2 if FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify certain immaterial changes to the FSIC II Charter or changes that are described as part of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Please see the marked version of the FSIC II Charter attached asAnnex B, which reflects all the proposed changes to the FSIC II Charter.

| • | | Deletion of definitions in Article VIII that will no longer be applicable as a result of the removal of certain provisions in the Second Articles. |
Conforming Changes and Other Ministerial Modifications

FSIC II PROPOSAL 5: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE FSIC II CHARTER REGARDING PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendments described in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT.

The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Provisions Regarding Dividends and Distributions
The FSIC II Charter contains numerous provisions that require FSIC II to provide for adequate reserves by retaining a percentage of proceeds from offerings and revenues. The FSIC II Charter also contains provisions relating to the payment of dividends and distributions and the powers of the FSIC II Board relating thereto. The Second Articles remove these provisions. The FSIC II Board does not intend to change its policy with respect to distributions and dividends despite the removal of these provisions.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, are the specific changes that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 if FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting.

These changes and modifications include, among other things, deletion and revision of definitions, references and cross-references and other provisions which are no longer applicable to FSIC II or which need to be updated, and the necessary re-numbering and lettering of remaining provisions.
Conditionality
The approval of each of the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of the Mergers.
None of the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals nor the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the Second Articles may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
FSIC II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3. The affirmative vote “FOR” FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 of at least a majority of
144
all the votes entitled to be cast as of the FSIC II Record Date is necessary for approval of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3.

FSIC II PROPOSAL 6: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO REVISE THE FSIC II CHARTER TO PROVIDE FOR A STAGGERED FSIC II BOARD
Background
FSIC II conducted a continuous public offering of FSIC II Common Stock beginning in February 2012 and ending in March 2014. Because FSIC II Common Stock was not listed on a national securities exchange and was not expected to be listed in connection with FSIC II’s continuous public offering, FSIC II was required to register its continuous public offering with state securities administrators in each state in which FSIC II desired to offer FSIC II Common Stock for sale. In offerings that are subject to state securities regulation, most states hold BDCs to the standards set forth in the NASAA Guidelines. As a BDC, a number of states where FSIC II wished to offer FSIC II Common Stock for sale required FSIC II to include a number of limitations imposed by the NASAA Guidelines in FSIC II’s governing documents, including the FSIC II Charter.
As discussed further above, in light of the potential for a Listing, FSIC II is proposing to amend and restate the FSIC II Charter in order to conform more closely certain provisions of the FSIC II Charter to provisions in the charters of most other BDCs listed on a national securities exchange. The proposed amendments to the FSIC II Charter would remove the NASAA-mandated limitations because they impose an unnecessary administrative burden on FSIC II, will no longer be required provided a Listing occurs, and could put FSIC II at a competitive disadvantage relative to its listed competitors whose charters do not contain these restrictions.
On May 28, 2019, the FSIC II Board considered certain matters in connection with a Listing, which, if completed, would provide liquidity to FSIC II’s stockholders. FSIC II currently expects that a Listing could occur within 12 months, provided that such Listing could occur at such earlier or later time or not at all as the FSIC II Board may determine, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. In light of the potential for a Listing, FSIC II is proposing to amend and restate the FSIC II Charter, including Section 4.1 of the FSIC II Charter as described below, in order to conform more closely certain provisions of the FSIC II Charter to provisions in the charters of most Listed BDCs. The proposed amendments to the Charter make certain other changes that the FSIC II Board believes are appropriate for a Listed BDC.
While the FSIC II Board has not set a definitive time frame for a Listing, FSIC II believes that seeking approval of these changes to the FSIC II Charter will avoid the cost and time delay of another stockholder vote prior to a Listing. Moreover, any market changes resulting during the delay associated with seeking another stockholder vote could adversely affect FSIC II’s ability to list the Shares at an optimal time.
Principal Change
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Second Articles attached asAnnex B are marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter and reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 6 (each as more fully described below). If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the Second Articles and described in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 are approved, FSIC II plans to file the Second Articles reflecting approved changes to the FSIC II Charter shortly after the FSIC II Annual Meeting.
Classified Board of Directors
The FSIC II Board was “staggered” or divided into three classes by election of the FSIC II Board as permitted by provisions of the MGCL and evidenced by Articles Supplementary filed with the SDAT on June 1, 2017 (the “Class Election”). Under the applicable provisions of the MGCL, the FSIC II Board could reverse the Class Election by a future action of the FSIC II Board in order to unclassify the FSIC II Board. If FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 is approved, FSIC II would continue to have a “staggered” or classified board as currently provided because of the Class Election and the FSIC II Bylaws, but the classification of the FSIC II Board would be set forth as a stockholder approved provision in the FSIC II Charter. Because the classification of the FSIC II Board would be set forth in the FSIC II Charter with stockholder approval, however, an
146
amendment to the FSIC II Charter recommended by the FSIC II Board and approved by a subsequent vote of FSIC II stockholders would be required in order to unclassify the FSIC II Board in the future. Accordingly, the Second Articles provide that the FSIC II Board shall be classified into three classes: one class to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, second class to hold office until the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, and a third class to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Directors will be elected to hold office for three-year terms, with one class’s term expiring each year.
In publicly held companies, staggered boards have the effect of making hostile takeover attempts more difficult. When a board is staggered, hostile bidders must win more than one proxy contest at successive stockholder meetings in order to exercise control of the target company. Particularly in combination with a stockholder rights plan, also known as a “poison pill,” a staggered board that cannot be dismantled or evaded is one of the most potent takeover defenses available to U.S. companies.
Summary of Specific Change

Principal Change
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 2. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendment described in FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 2 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 are approved, FSIC II plans to file the Second Articles reflecting approved changes to the FSIC II Charter shortly after the FSIC II Annual Meeting.
A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Provisions Regarding Amendments to Certain Provisions of the FSIC II Charter
The FSIC II Charter currently provides thattwo-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter is necessary to, among other things, approve the dissolution of FSIC II or any amendments to Article VI (relating to amendments and certain extraordinary actions) of the FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles revise Section 6.2 to: (i) increase the vote required to effect the changes described in such Section 6.2 to 80% of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, and (ii) require such increased stockholder vote (i.e., 80% of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) to effect a liquidation of FSIC II or any amendment to revised Section 4.1 (relating to the number, term and election of directors) or new Section 4.8 (relating to the removal of directors), as well as Sections 4.2, 4.7, 6.1 and 6.2.
Furthermore, the Second Articles include a provision that if a proposal or amendment requiring the increased stockholder voting requirements of Section 6.2 of the Second Articles is approved bytwo-thirds of the existing directors (together with such nominees approved by a majority of the existing directors), then such proposal or amendment need only be approved by a majority of the stockholder votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
As more fully discussed above, the FSIC II Board, considering a contemplated Listing and the related increased hostile takeover risks, believes the revisions to this provision are appropriate and will conform the FSIC II Charter more closely to charters of other Listed BDCs. Further, the proposed revisions to Section 6.2 of the FSIC II Charter, while protecting against hostile takeover actions, will allow FSIC II to take one of the specific actions described in such Section 6.2 iftwo-thirds of the FSIC II Board believes such action is in the best interests of FSIC II and a majority of the stockholders have voted in favor of such action. This change may also grant members of the FSIC II Board with enhanced power to direct FSIC II in the future.
Summary of Specific Changes
Listed below, in summary form, are the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 2 if FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and a Listing occurs.

The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Removal of Directors
The MGCL provides that stockholders of a corporation may remove any director, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors, except, among other things, as otherwise provided in the charter. FSIC II proposes to include a new Section 4.8 in the Second Articles that provides that directors may be removed only for “cause” and only by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.
In connection with a proposed Listing and the related increased risk of hostile takeover attempts, the FSIC II Board believes that the adoption of these antitakeover provisions may discourage others from trying to (i) acquire control of FSIC II, which may reduce your ability to liquidate your investment in FSIC II or to receive a control premium for your shares of FSIC II Common Stock, or (ii) change the composition of the FSIC II Board, which may make it more difficult to influence FSIC II’s management, which could result in policies, actions or FSIC II Board composition that are not as favorable to stockholders as they otherwise would be.

Principal Change
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 4. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendments described in FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 4 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT.

Provision Regarding Stockholder Inspection of Books and Records
The Second Articles provide that FSIC II may limit a stockholder’s right to inspect the books and records of FSIC II if the FSIC II Board determines that such stockholder has an improper purpose for requesting such inspection. FSIC II believes this change will conform the FSIC II Charter more closely to the charters of other Listed BDCs. FSIC II also believes that the change will increase FSIC II’s ability to protect the privacy of its stockholders. FSIC II believes the change also enhances its anti-takeover defenses by making it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire shares of FSIC II Common Stock or to contact stockholders for the purpose of trying to influence FSIC II’s management. Although FSIC II believes the change is in the best interest of FSIC II, the proposed change to FSIC II may discourage others from trying to acquire control of FSIC II, which may reduce your ability to liquidate your investment in FSIC II or to receive a control premium for your shares of FSIC II Common Stock. The proposed change may also make it more difficult for stockholders to communicate with each other to influence FSIC II’s management, which could result in policies, actions or FSIC II Board composition that are not as favorable to you as they otherwise would be.

This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Background
Because FSIC II Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, FSIC II was required to register its continuous public offering with state securities administrators in each state in which FSIC II desired to offer shares of FSIC II Common Stock for sale. In offerings that are subject to state securities regulation, most states hold BDCs to the standards set forth in the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines. As a BDC, a number of states where FSIC II wished to offer shares of FSIC II Common Stock for sale required FSIC II to include a number of limitations imposed by the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines in FSIC II’s governing documents, including the FSIC II Charter.
As discussed further above, in light of the potential for a Listing, FSIC II is proposing to amend and restate the FSIC II Charter in order to conform more closely certain provisions of the FSIC II Charter to provisions in the charters of most other Listed BDCs. The proposed amendments to the FSIC II Charter would remove the NASAA-mandated limitations on stockholder suitability (described below) because they impose an unnecessary administrative burden on FSIC II, will no longer be required provided a Listing occurs, and could put the FSIC II at a competitive disadvantage relative to its listed competitors whose charters do not contain these restrictions.
Provisions Regarding Suitability of Stockholders
The FSIC II Charter currently imposes restrictions on FSIC II which require FSIC II to require that each prospective stockholder satisfy suitability standards required by the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines, including minimum thresholds for such stockholder’s annual income and net worth. After a Listing, FSIC II will no longer have the ability to monitor this information with respect to its stockholders and the provision would impose an unreasonable administrative burden on FSIC II.
Summary of Specific Changes
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 5 if FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 5 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and a Listing occurs. The below summary does not identify certain immaterial changes to the FSIC II Charter or changes that are described as part of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through Merger Charter Proposal Amendment 3, FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 4 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.

The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 6. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex Bto this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendment described in FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 6 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 are approved, FSIC II plans to file the Second Articles reflecting approved changes to the FSIC II Charter shortly after the FSIC II Annual Meeting.
A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Provisions Regarding Payment of Expenses
The FSIC II Charter currently provides for advancement of expenses to FSIC II’s directors and officers and the Advisor and its affiliates, but contains certain limits on FSIC II’s ability to advance expenses consistent with the limitations set forth in the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines. In order to conform the FSIC II Charter more closely to charters of other Listed BDCs, and to retain and recruit qualified and experienced officers and directors, FSIC II is proposing to remove these limitations.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 6 if FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 6 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and a Listing occurs. The below summary does not identify certain immaterial changes to the FSIC II Charter or changes that are described as part of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through Merger Charter Proposal Amendment 3, FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 5 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Please see the marked version of the FSIC II Charter attached asAnnex B, which reflects all the proposed changes to the FSIC II Charter.
| • | | Deletion of Section 7.4 providing for restrictions on FSIC II’s ability to advance expenses to its directors and officers and the Advisor and its affiliates in accordance with the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines. |

FSIC II PROPOSAL 12: APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Background
FSIC II is seeking approval of an amendment to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Proposed Advisory Agreement”). The Proposed Advisory Agreement would amend the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement to:
| • | | reduce the annual base management fee from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity and exclude cash and cash equivalents from the gross assets on which the annual base management fee is calculated; |
| • | | amend the hurdle rate applicable to FSIC II’s payment of a subordinated incentive fee on income to be based on net assets rather than adjusted capital; |
| • | | revise the definition ofpre-incentive net investment income to exclude interest expense and dividends paid on certain shares of preferred stock; |
| • | | introduce a cap on subordinated incentive fees; |
| • | | incorporate in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains the historical net realized losses and unrealized depreciation of FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV in addition to FSIC II; and |
| • | | implement certain other revisions to bring the investment advisory agreement of FSIC II in line with those of other Listed BDCs. |
The proposed amendments are intended to align the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement with the investment advisory agreement of FSK in anticipation of the Mergers and a potential Listing. A form of the Proposed Advisory Agreement is attached asAnnex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the proposed changes against the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement.
Overview of the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement
The FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the FSIC II Board at a meeting held on November 28, 2017 and was approved by the FSIC II stockholders on March 26, 2018 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FSIC II. The FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement became effective on April 9, 2018.
Advisory and Administrative Services
The Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and serves as FSIC II’s investment adviser pursuant to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement in accordance with the 1940 Act. As an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, the Advisor has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, the Advisor has a fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all of FSIC II’s funds and assets, whether or not in its immediate possession or control. As such, the Advisor may not employ, or permit another to employ, FSIC II’s funds or assets in any manner except for FSIC II’s exclusive benefit. The Advisor is prohibited from contracting away the fiduciary obligation owed to FSIC II and its stockholders under common law.
Subject to the overall supervision of the FSIC II Board, the Advisor provides FSIC II with investment advisory services. Under the terms of the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor:
| • | | determines the composition and allocation of FSIC II’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; |
| • | | identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments FSIC II makes; |
| • | | executes, monitors and services the investments FSIC II makes; |
| • | | places orders with respect to, and arranges for, any investments FSIC II makes; |
| • | | determines the securities and other assets that FSIC II will purchase, retain or sell; |
| • | | performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; and |
| • | | provides FSIC II with such other investment advisory, research and related services as FSIC II may, from time to time, reasonably request or require for the investment of FSIC II’s funds. |
158
The Advisor will also seek to ensure that FSIC II maintains adequate reserves for normal replacements and contingencies (but not for payment of fees payable to it) by causing FSIC II to retain a reasonable percentage of offering proceeds, revenues or other sources of reserves. The Advisor’s services under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement may not be exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to FSIC II are not impaired.
In addition, under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor provides certain administrative services to FSIC II at cost.
Advisory Fees
FSIC II pays the Advisor a fee for its investment advisory services under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components—an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets and an incentive fee based on FSIC II’s performance. The cost of both the base management fee payable to the Advisor and any incentive fees it earns are ultimately borne by FSIC II’s stockholders.
Base Management Fee
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets (equal to total assets set forth on FSIC II’s consolidated balance sheet, including cash and cash equivalents). The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter. The base management fee may or may not be taken in whole or in part at the discretion of the Advisor. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor shall determine. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated.
Incentive Fee
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 is equal to 20.0% of FSIC II’s“pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The subordinated incentive fee on income will be subject to a quarterly hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on FSIC II’s net assets for the most recently completed calendar quarter, equal to 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature (the “Hurdle Rate”). For this purpose,“pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that FSIC II receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus FSIC II’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses reimbursed to the Advisor under the administration agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments withpayment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that FSIC II has not yet received in cash.Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The calculation of the subordinated incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:
| • | | no subordinated incentive fee is payable to the Advisor in any calendar quarter in which FSIC II’spre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate; |
| • | | 100% of FSIC II’spre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Advisor. FSIC II refers to this portion of itspre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 2.1875%) as the“catch-up.” The“catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 8.75% on all of FSIC II’spre-incentive fee net investment income when FSIC II’spre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 1.75% in any calendar quarter; and |
| • | | 20.0% of the amount of FSIC II’spre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to the Advisor once the Hurdle Rate is reached and thecatch-up is achieved (20.0% of allpre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Advisor). |
159
The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income-related portion of the incentive fee:
Quarterly Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income
Pre-incentive fee net investment income
(expressed as a percentage of adjusted capital)
Percentage ofpre-incentive fee net investment income allocated to income-related portion of incentive fee
(subject to total return requirement)
These calculations will be appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted, if appropriate, for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the applicable calendar quarter. These calculations also assume that the total return requirement described above will not reduce the payment of any subordinated incentive fee on income.
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 FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement). Such fee equals 20.0% of FSIC II’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals FSIC II’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. On a quarterly basis, FSIC II accrues for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, will be paid annually. FSIC II accrues the incentive fee on capital gains based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the fee payable to the Advisor will be based on realized gains and no such fee will be payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
All percentages are based on FSIC II’s net assets.
Fees Paid in the Most Recent Fiscal Year
During the year ended December 31, 2018, FSIC II paid an aggregate of approximately $47.7 million in management and incentive fees and $2.4 million in administrative services expenses to the Advisor pursuant to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2018, FSIC II paid an aggregate of approximately $71.3 million in management and incentive fees and $1.0 million in administrative services expenses to FSIC II Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement, dated February 8, 2012, by and between FSIC II and FSIC II Advisor (the “FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Former Investment Advisory Agreement with FSIC II Advisor was terminated on April 9, 2018, when GSO/Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC resigned as FSIC II’s investment sub-adviser, at which time FSIC II entered into the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor.
Because the management and incentive fees under the FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement and the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement were calculated and payable in arrears on either a quarterly or annual basis, as applicable, the aggregate amount paid to FSIC II Advisor or the Advisor, as applicable, by FSIC II during the year ended December 31, 2018 in respect of such fees is inclusive of the amounts accrued and payable to FSIC II Advisor or the Advisor, as applicable, as of December 31, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, but otherwise excludes amounts accrued and payable to FSIC II Advisor or the Advisor, as of December 31, 2018.
Other than the foregoing fees and expenses, no other material payments were made by FSIC II to FSIC II Advisor, the Advisor or any affiliated person of FSIC II Advisor or the Advisor in 2018.
Indemnification
The FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor and anysub-advisor (and their officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents, employees, controlling persons and any
160
other person or entity affiliated with, or acting on their behalf, shall not be liable to FSIC II for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any such party in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of FSIC II (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services), and shall be entitled to indemnification (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) for any damages, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by the Advisor or such other person, in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of FSIC II or its security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the indemnified parties’ duties or obligations under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, anysub-advisory agreement, or otherwise as an investment adviser of FSIC II, to the extent such losses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the FSIC II Charter, the laws of the State of Maryland, the 1940 Act or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines or other applicable law. FSIC II maintains a joint liability insurance policy with the Advisor. The premiums for this policy are allocated between FSIC II and the Advisor based on the proportional share of the premium that FSIC II and the Advisor would pay had they purchased FSIC II’s policies separately. The independent directors of the FSIC II Board must review and approve this allocation on an annual basis. As a result, the Advisor bears the cost of its own liability insurance.
Revisions to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement in the Proposed Advisory Agreement
Amendments to the Base Management Fee
Under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets. Under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, the base management fee would be reduced from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0xdebt-to-equity. The Small Business Credit Availability Act of 2018, among other things, amended Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act to add a new Section 61(a)(2) which reduces the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% (a2:1 debt-to-equity ratio), so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure and approval requirements. Section 61(a)(2) provides that before the reduced asset coverage requirements are effective with respect to a BDC, the application of that section of the 1940 Act to such BDC must be approved by either (1) a “required majority,” as defined in the Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act, of such BDC’s board of directors or (2) a majority of votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present. To date, neither the FSIC II Board nor the FSIC II stockholders have approved the application of Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act to FSIC II. However, FSIC II expects to seek stockholder approval of the application of Section 61(a)(2) in the future, with such stockholder vote to occur no earlier than the Listing.
The Proposed Advisory Agreement would also exclude cash and cash equivalents from gross assets when calculating the base management fee. Excluding cash and cash equivalents from the gross assets on which the annual base management fee is calculated would result in a reduction in the base management fee payable to the Advisor relative to the base management fee payable by FSIC II under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement.
Amendment to Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income Quarterly Hurdle Rate
Under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, the subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to the Hurdle Rate. “Adjusted capital” means, for purposes of calculating the Hurdle Rate, the cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of FSIC II’s common stock, reduced for distributions fromnon-liquidating distributions of FSIC II’s investments paid to stockholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to FSIC II’s share repurchase program.
The Proposed Advisory Agreement provides that the Hurdle Rate will be calculated on net assets rather than adjusted capital, consistent with the FSK investment advisory agreement and consistent with prevailing market practice of other Listed BDCs. In addition, the Proposed Advisory Agreement clarifies that shares of preferred stock that are treated as equity under GAAP in the United States, including the preferred stock which may be issued in the Recapitalization Transaction, will be treated as equity valued at their liquidation preference when calculating the Hurdle Rate.
The amendment to the Hurdle Rate would increase the potential incentive fees paid to the Advisor if FSIC II’s rate of return does not clear the “catch up” feature, but otherwise would have no impact on the incentive fees payable to the Advisor.
Amendment to Calculation ofPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
Under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, FSIC II’s subordinated income incentive fee is payable onpre-incentive fee net investment income, which is calculated by subtracting FSIC II’s operating expenses during a calendar
161
quarter from FSIC II’s interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the quarter. The Proposed Advisory Agreement would expressly exclude any interest expense or dividends paid on any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock created through a reclassification of common stock or due to a distributionin-kind to holders of common stock, such as the Recapitalization Transaction.
Cap on Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income
The Proposed Advisory Agreement provides that, commencing with ninth full fiscal quarter following the closing of the Mergers, the subordinated incentive fee on income under the Agreement be subject to a cap equal to (a) (i) 20% of the per sharepre-incentive fee return for the current fiscal quarter and the eleven fiscal quarters (or fewer number of fiscal quarters) preceding the current fiscal quarter (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter following the Mergers) less (ii) the cumulative per share incentive fees accrued and/or payable for the eleven fiscal quarters (or fewer number of fiscal quarters) preceding the current fiscal quarter (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter following the Mergers) multiplied by (b) the weighted average number of shares of FSIC II Common Stock outstanding during the applicable fiscal quarter.
Amendment to Calculation of Incentive Fee on Capital Gains
The Proposed Advisory Agreement would the amend the calculation of the 20.0% incentive fee on capital gains to include (without duplication) the realized capital gains for each of the Acquired Funds, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation (without duplication) on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by each of the Acquired Funds.
Amendment to NASAA Provisions
The FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement currently contains certain provisions that, by their terms, shall apply only prior to a Listing. These provisions, which relate to certain duties of the Advisor, the presentation of base management fee and incentive fee calculations, certain covenants of the Advisor, limitations on front end fees, limitations on indemnification and certain other matters, are identified in bold text in the current FSIC II Advisory Agreement with bold disclaimers stating that “the following provision[s]…shall apply for only so long as the shares of [FSIC II Common Stock] are not listed on a national securities exchange.” The Proposed Advisory Agreement would remove these provisions from the body of Agreement and add them (without revision) to an exhibit to the Proposed Advisory Agreement, which FSIC II may remove without any further action of the FSIC II Board or FSIC II stockholders following a Listing. This amendment is intended to make the Proposed Advisory Agreement easier for stockholders to read following a Listing, if applicable.
Separation of Advisory Services and Administrative Services
In preparation for the Mergers and a potential Listing, the Advisor proposes to remove the provisions relating to administrative services from the Agreement and include them in a free-standing administration agreement consistent with prevailing market practice for listed BDCs.
Effect of the Proposed Advisory Agreement on Advisory Fees
The reduction of the annual base management fee from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity will result in reduced management fees per dollar of NAV, to the extent that FSIC II finances assets using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity. Because FSIC II is not yet able to finance assets using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity under Section 61(a)(2) of the SBCA Act, this amendment will not result in any immediate change to advisory fees paid by FSIC II.
The exclusion of cash and cash equivalents from the base management fee will reduce, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 assuming the closing of all the Mergers, the total base management and incentive fees paid by FSIC II by approximately $5.9 million annually, assuming that FSIC II and the Acquired Funds hold approximately the same percentage of their gross assets in cash as they averaged at June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019.
Because FSIC II’s adjusted capital currently exceeds FSIC II’s net assets (and will on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 assuming the closing of all the Mergers), the amendment to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement to provide that the Hurdle Rate will be based on net assets rather than adjusted capital will result in a lower amount of FSIC II pre-incentive fee net investment income required before the “catch-up” provision becomes applicable. In scenarios where FSIC II’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is sufficient to clear the current “catch-up” provision, the amendment to the Hurdle Rate will have no effect on advisory fees paid by FSIC II. However, in scenarios where FSIC II’s pre-incentive net investment income is not sufficient to clear the current “catch-up” provision, the change from adjusted capital to net assets would increase advisory fees paid by FSIC II (assuming that net assets do not exceed adjusted capital in the future).
162
The amendment to the calculation of pre-incentive fee investment income to expressly exclude any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock created through a reclassification of common stock or due to a distribution in-kind to holders of common stock, such as the Recapitalization Transaction, would increase the subordinated income incentive fee payable by FSIC II to the extent that, in the future, FSIC II issues such shares of preferred stock.
The proposed cap on subordinated income incentive fees will ensure that subordinated income incentive fees will never exceed 20% of the pre-incentive investment returns of FSIC II over a rolling three-year period, including the impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses over the same period, and therefore could reduce the amount of subordinated income incentive fees payable by FSIC II to the extent net realized and unrealized losses were accrued by FSIC II. This amendment will not result in any matching increase in advisory fees payable by FSIC II in the scenario where net gains are accrued. It is expected that the proposed cap on subordinated income incentive fees will result in the Advisor experiencing a $18 million to $19 million restriction in subordinated income incentive fees for every 1% of net asset value decline due to realized and unreleased net losses across a trailing three-year period, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 assuming the closing of all the Mergers.
The amendment to the calculation of incentive fees on capital gains would ensure that the Advisor will not earn incentive fees on capital gains without stockholders first recovering prior losses experienced by the Acquired Funds (which will constitute part of FSIC II’s pro forma investment portfolio). At March 31, 2019, the historic net realized losses and unrealized depreciation of FSIC II which would need to be offset by capital gains before the Advisor would be paid any incentive fees on capital gains totaled approximately $683.7 million. The same historic net realized losses and unrealized depreciation for the Acquired Funds totaled approximately $411.5 million. Thus, as of March 31, 2019, FSIC II would pay the Advisor incentive fees on capital gains after approximately $683.7 million in capital gains was recognized under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 assuming the closing of all the Mergers, FSIC II would need to recognize approximately $1.1 billion in capital gains before incentive fees on capital gains were paid to the Advisor as of March 31, 2019.
On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2019 assuming the closing of all the Mergers, the aggregate impact of the amendments reflected in the Proposed Advisory Agreement will be dependent on the pre-incentive fee net investment income and the mark-to-market performance of the portfolio.
Reasons for the Proposed Advisory Agreement
FSIC II believes that Proposed Advisory Agreement is equitable for FSIC II stockholders, the Acquired Funds’ and their respective stockholders and the Advisor and preserves the intent of the current FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement in connection with the Mergers, the potential Recapitalization Transaction and the potential Listing.
Reducing the annual base management fee from 1.5% of the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets to 1.00% on all assets financed using leverage would result in a reduction to the base management fee per dollar of NAV payable to the Advisor if FSIC II decreases its asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150% (a 2:1debt-to-equity ratio) as permitted by Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act. Excluding cash and cash equivalents from the gross assets on which the annual base management fee is calculated would result in a reduction in the base management fee payable to the Advisor relative to the base management fee payable by FSIC II under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement. The amendment to the calculation of the Hurdle Rate such that the calculation is based on net assets rather than adjusted capital would conform the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement with the investment advisory agreement of FSK and be consistent with prevailing market practices of other Listed BDCs in anticipation of a Listing and based on the current difference between FSIC II’s net assets and its adjusted capital, would increase the potential incentive fees paid to the Advisor if FSIC II’s rate of return does not clear the “catch up” feature, but otherwise would have no impact. The amendment to the calculation ofpre-incentive fee net investment income to expressly exclude any interest expense or dividends paid on any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock created through a reclassification of common stock or due to a distributionin-kind to holders of common stock is consistent with any such preferred stock not being used to finance assets or otherwise increase FSIC II’s investment income potential, such as the Recapitalization Transaction. The implementation of the proposed cap on the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor would provide stockholders with protection over a rolling three-year period that the aggregate subordinated incentive fees on income paid under the Proposed Advisory Agreement will never exceed 20% ofpre-incentive fee returns, including the impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses over the same period. The amendment to the calculation of incentive fee on capital gains to include (without duplication) the realized capital gains for each of the Fund Parties (without duplication) will ensure that aggregate historical net realized losses and unrealized depreciation of the Acquired Funds are offset by capital gains before the Advisor will receive payment of incentive fees on capital gains. The placement in an exhibit to the Proposed Advisory Agreement of provisions required by NASAA that will drop away upon a Listing under the terms of the FSIC II Investment
163
Advisory Agreement will increase the readability of the Proposed Advisory Agreement following a Listing. Finally, the removal of administrative services from the Proposed Advisory Agreement and the inclusion of such provisions in a separate agreement between FSIC II and the Advisor will conform the Proposed Advisory Agreement to the prevailing market practice for Listed BDCs.
Board Considerations
At a meeting of the FSIC II Board held on May 28, 2019, the FSIC II Board, including a majority of the FSIC II Independent Directors, approved the Proposed Advisory Agreement. The FSIC II Board then approved the submission of the Proposed Advisory Agreement to the FSIC II’s stockholders for approval with the FSIC II Board’s recommendation that the FSIC II stockholders vote to approve the Proposed Advisory Agreement.
Factors Considered by the FSIC II Board
The FSIC II Board, in approving and recommending stockholder approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement, considered information furnished and discussed at FSIC II Board meetings and executive sessions with management and legal and financial advisors, including information provided specifically in relation to the consideration of the approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement in response to requests from the FSIC II independent directors and their independent legal counsel.
In its deliberations, the FSIC II Board considered (i) various materials and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including information previously provided by the Advisor in connection with the Advisor’s quarterly updates to the FSIC II Board, (ii) updated performance of FSIC II, (iii) the changes to the calculation of the fees payable by FSIC II under the Proposed Advisory Agreement and (iv) updated estimated profitability of the Advisor under the Proposed Advisory Agreement. In addition to evaluating, among other things, the written information provided by the Advisor, the FSIC II Board considered the answers to questions posed by the FSIC II Board to representatives of the Advisor. The independent directors of FSIC II met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel to review and consider the information provided regarding the Proposed Advisory Agreement.
Based on their review, the independent directors of FSIC II and the FSIC II Board concluded that it was in the best interests of FSIC II to approve the Proposed Advisory Agreement. In its deliberations, the FSIC II Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors asall-important or controlling, but considered all factors together. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the FSIC II Board’s determinations are discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The FSIC II Board considered that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor are not expected to change due to the Proposed Advisory Agreement. The FSIC II Board considered updated information provided by the Advisor with respect to its key personnel (additional operations and investment personnel), investment process, deal flow, relationships with sponsors, borrowers and leverage providers, all for the benefit of FSIC II and its affiliated BDCs. The FSIC II Board and the FSIC II independent directors determined that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Advisor to FSIC II.
Review of Performance. With respect to FSIC II’s investment performance, the FSIC II Board and the FSIC II independent directors reviewed the recent performance of FSIC II and noted that it was generally satisfied with FSIC II’s performance and, in particular, with regard to the Advisor’s specific investment advisory activities during its tenure.
Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized. The FSIC II Board considered the fees and anticipated expense ratios of FSIC II under the Proposed Advisory Agreement. The FSIC II Board noted that the Proposed Advisory Agreement reflected changes to the calculation of the fees to be paid to the Advisor by FSIC II. For more information about the fees and anticipated expense ratios under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, see “FSIC II Proposal 12: Approval of Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal—Overview of the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement—Effect of the Proposed Advisory Agreement on Advisory Fees.”
Other Benefits. The FSIC II Board considered other benefits that may accrue to the Advisor and its affiliates from its relationships with FSIC II, including that the Advisor may potentially benefit from the success of FSIC II, which could attract other business to the Advisor.
Overall Conclusions. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the FSIC II Board determined that the terms of the Proposed Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of the Proposed
164
Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of FSIC II. The FSIC II Board, including a majority of the independent directors of FSIC II, unanimously approved the Proposed Advisory Agreement and determined to submit the Proposed Advisory Agreement to FSIC II stockholders for approval.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote by the stockholders of FSIC II holding a majority of the outstanding shares of FSIC II Common Stock entitled to vote at the FSIC II Annual Meeting is necessary for approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal, the 1940 Act defines “a majority of outstanding voting securities” of a company as the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the FSIC II Annual Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the company are present or represented by proxy; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the company. FSIC II stockholders may vote for or against or abstain on the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment Proposal unless FSIC II stockholders designate otherwise.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC II STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.
165
FSIC II PROPOSAL 13: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Pursuant to the FSIC II Bylaws, the number of directors on the FSIC II Board may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the MGCL, which is one, or greater than twelve. The FSIC II Board is currently comprised of eleven directors.
The directors of FSIC II are divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class of directors holds office for a three-year term. The current Class A directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2021 annual meeting. The current Class B directors hold office for a term expiring at the FSIC II Annual Meeting. The current Class C directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2020 annual meeting.
At the FSIC II Annual Meeting, stockholders of FSIC II are being asked to consider the election of Todd C. Builione, Frederick Arnold, Michael J. Hagan and Jerel A. Hopkins as Class B directors who have been nominated forre-election for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders. No person being nominated as a director is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and FSIC II.
A stockholder can vote for, or withhold his or her vote from, any or all of the director nominees.In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of each of the director nominees named above. If any of the director nominees should decline or be unable to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee as may be proposed by the FSIC II Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee. The FSIC II Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named as director nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve.
Information about the FSIC II Board and Director Nominees
The role of the FSIC II Board is to provide general oversight of FSIC II’s business affairs and to exercise all of FSIC II’s powers except those reserved for the stockholders. The responsibilities of the FSIC II Board also include, among other things, the oversight of FSIC II’s investment activities, the quarterly valuation of FSIC II’s assets, oversight of FSIC II’s financing arrangements and corporate governance activities.
A majority of the members of the FSIC II Board are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of FSIC II or the Advisor and are “independent” as defined by Rule 303A.00 in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. These individuals are referred to as FSIC II’s independent directors (the “FSIC II Independent Directors”). Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an “interested person” to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC II. The members of the FSIC II Board who are not FSIC II Independent Directors are referred to as interested directors (the “FSIC II Interested Directors”).
The FSIC II Board is currently comprised of eleven directors, nine of whom are FSIC II Independent Directors. The FSIC II Board has determined that the following directors and director nominees are FSIC II Independent Directors: Ms. Adams and Messrs. Arnold, Ford, Goldstein, Hagan, Harrow, Hopkins, Kropp and Imasogie. Based upon information requested from each director nominee concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the FSIC II Board has affirmatively determined that none of the FSIC II Independent Director nominees has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC II, other than, if applicable, in his or her capacity as a member of the FSIC II Board or any FSIC II Board committee or as a stockholder.
In considering each director nominee and the composition of the FSIC II Board as a whole, the FSIC II Board seeks a diverse group of experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race, that the FSIC II Board believes enables a director to make a significant contribution to the FSIC II Board, FSIC II and its stockholders. These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, which are more fully described in “Management of the Fund Parties”, include, but are not limited to, management experience, independence, financial expertise and experience serving as directors or trustees of other entities. The FSIC II Board may also consider such other experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills as it deems appropriate, given the then-current needs of the FSIC II Board and FSIC II.
These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills relate directly to the management and operations of FSIC II. Success in each of these categories is a key factor in FSIC II’s overall operational success and creating stockholder value. The FSIC II Board believes that directors who possess these experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills are better able to provide oversight of FSIC II’s management and FSIC II’s long-term and strategic objectives. See “Management of the Fund Parties” for a description of the experience, characteristics, attributes and skills of each director nominee that led the FSIC II Board to conclude that each such person should serve as a director. The FSIC II Board also considered the specific experience
166
described in each director nominee’s biographical information, as described in “Management of the Fund Parties”. The biographical information set forth for each director and director nominee in “Management of the Fund Parties” is incorporated herein by reference.
Vote Required
Each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the FSIC II Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Plurality voting means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are director nominees and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the FSIC II Director Election Proposal.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
167
FSIC II PROPOSAL 14: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On March 22, 2019, FSIC II notified RSM US LLP that RSM US LLP had been dismissed as FSIC II’s independent public accounting firm. The FSIC II audit committee approved the dismissal of RSM US LLP. The reports of RSM US LLP on the audited consolidated financial statements of FSIC II for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 22, 2019, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions between FSIC II and RSM US LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to RSM US LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused RSM US LLP to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K.
On March 26, 2019, FSIC II appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP was previously recommended by the FSIC II audit committee. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 26, 2019, neither FSIC II nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on FSIC II’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to FSIC II that Deloitte & Touche LLP concluded was an important factor considered by FSIC II in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be available to answer questions during the FSIC II Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do.
Although action by the stockholders on this matter is not required, the FSIC II audit committee and the FSIC II Board believe it is appropriate to seek stockholder ratification of this selection in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements. If a quorum is present at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 is not ratified by the stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II audit committee in determining whether to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP as FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm for the succeeding fiscal year.
Fees
Set forth in the table below are audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees billed to FSIC II by RSM US LLP for professional services performed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have not receivedgeneral pre-approval must be submitted to the FSIC II audit committee forspecific pre-approval in accordance withits pre-approval policy, irrespective of the amount of fees associated with such services, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted.Normally, pre-approval is considered at regularly scheduled meetings of the FSIC II audit committee. However, the FSIC II audit committee may delegate pre-

The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must reportany pre-approval decisions to the FSIC II audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The FSIC II audit committee does not delegate its responsibilitiesto pre-approve services performed by FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm to management. All of the audit andpermitted non-audit services described above for which RSM US LLP billed FSIC II for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017were pre-approved by the FSIC II audit committee.
Audit Committee Report
As part of its oversight of FSIC II’s financial statements, the FSIC II audit committee reviewed and discussed with both management and RSM US LLP, FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Management advised the FSIC audit committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the FSIC II audit committee. The audit committee also discussed with RSM US LLP the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended, and by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The FSIC II audit committee has establisheda pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax, and other services to be provided by FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the policy, the FSIC II auditcommittee pre-approves the auditand non-audit services performed by FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the firm’s independence.
Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax, and other services that have not receivedgeneral pre-approval must be submitted to the FSIC II audit committee forspecific pre-approval in accordance withits pre-approval policy, irrespective of the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted.Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the FSIC II audit committee. However, the FSIC II audit committee maydelegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must reportany pre-approval decisions to the FSIC II audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The FSIC II audit committee does not delegate its responsibilitiesto pre-approve services performed by RSM US LLP to management.
The FSIC II audit committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from RSM US LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding RSM US LLP’s communications with the FSIC II audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with RSM US LLP its independence. The FSIC II audit committee has reviewed the audit fees paid by FSIC II to RSM US LLP. It has alsoreviewed non-audit services and fees to assure compliance with FSIC II’s and the FSIC II audit committee’s policies restricting RSM US LLP from performing services that might impair its independence.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the FSIC II audit committee recommended to the FSIC II Board that the audited consolidated financial statements of FSIC II as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 be included in FSIC II’s annual report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC. The FSIC II audit committee also recommended the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of FSIC II for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

The material in this Audit Committee report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of FSIC II under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Vote Required
The approval of the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by holders of FSIC II Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be included in
169
determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal. If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of FSIC II’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of FSIC II Common Stock, FSIC II does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the FSIC II Auditor Ratification Proposal.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF FSIC II FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2019.

FSIC II PROPOSAL 15: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE FSIC II CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION MANDATED BY THE NASAA OMNIBUS GUIDELINES
Principal Change
The following discussion summarizes the principal change FSIC II is asking its stockholders to approve in connection with FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Articles, a copy of which is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting, the amendment described in FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 and reflected in the Second Articles will be effected by FSIC II’s filing of the Second Articles with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 are approved, FSIC II plans to file the Second Articles reflecting approved changes to the FSIC II Charter shortly after the FSIC II Annual Meeting.
A copy of the proposed Second Articles is attached asAnnex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is marked to show the changes made to the current FSIC II Charter. The Second Articles reflect the modifications proposed to be made by FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7.
Background
As described in FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 5 in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, because FSIC II Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, FSIC II was required to register its continuous public offering with state securities administrators in each state in which FSIC II desired to offer shares of FSIC II Common Stock for sale. In offerings that are subject to state securities regulation, most states hold BDCs to the standards set forth in the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines. In connection with a potential Listing, FSIC II is proposing to amend and restate the FSIC II Charter in order to conform more closely certain provisions of the FSIC II Charter to provisions in the charters of most other Listed BDCs. The proposed amendments to the FSIC II Charter would remove the NASAA-mandated provisions regarding officer and director exculpation and indemnification because they impose an unnecessary administrative burden on FSIC II, will no longer be required provided a Listing occurs, and could put the FSIC II at a competitive disadvantage relative to its listed competitors whose charters do not contain these restrictions.
Provisions Regarding Exculpation and Indemnification
The FSIC II Charter currently provides for exculpation of FSIC II’s officers and directors, and provides for indemnification of its officers and directors, but contains certain limits on FSIC II’s ability to indemnify and exculpate consistent with the limitations set forth in the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines. In order to conform the FSIC II Charter more closely to charters of other Listed BDCs, and to retain and recruit qualified and experienced officers and directors, FSIC II is proposing to remove these limitations and instead provide that it shall exculpate its officers and directors and shall have the power to indemnify its officers and directors, in each case, to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL. The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Maryland law also permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in the form of money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of (x) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (y) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met. These amended FSIC II Charter provisions will provide FSIC II’s directors and officers with broader and more comprehensive exculpation and indemnification rights.
Although the FSIC II Board believes that this change will improve its ability to retain and attract qualified directors and officers, the proposed FSIC II Charter amendment does increase the risk that FSIC II and the stockholders will not be able to
171
recover monetary damages from FSIC II’s directors if they fail to meet the statutory standard of conduct as a result of negligence or misconduct (as to its interested directors) and gross negligence or intentional misconduct (as to its independent directors) or from its officers if they fail to satisfy their duties under the MGCL. In addition, the proposed FSIC II Charter amendment would permit indemnification of FSIC II’s directors and officers in circumstances where indemnification is currently limited by the FSIC II Charter. The reduced ability to recover from directors and officers and the enhanced right to indemnification would apply to both future acts or omissions of directors or officers but also for acts or omissions prior to the date of the FSIC II Charter amendment. The proposed FSIC II Charter amendment also increases the risk that FSIC II will incur significant defense costs that would otherwise have to be borne by its directors, officers or the Advisor and its affiliates.
In addition to permitting FSIC II’s directors and officers additional rights with respect to exculpation and indemnification, removing these limitations from the FSIC II Charter will also permit FSIC II to indemnify its investment adviser to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL, including for acts or omissions prior to the date of the amendment to the FSIC II Charter. To date, FSIC II has not agreed to expand the indemnification of the Advisor beyond that permitted by the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines; however, the proposed FSIC II Charter amendment does increase the risk that FSIC II will (i) indemnify the Advisor for certain losses that it would not be permitted to indemnify the Advisor for under the current FSIC II Charter and (ii) advance and bear the Advisor’s defense costs in circumstances where the current FSIC II Charter would not permit such advancement.
Summary of Specific Changes
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC II Charter pursuant to FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 if FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC II Annual Meeting and a Listing occurs. The below summary does not identify certain immaterial changes to the FSIC II Charter or changes that are described as part of FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through Merger Charter Proposal Amendment 3, FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 4 or FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Please see the marked version of the FSIC II Charter attached asAnnex B, which reflects all the proposed changes to the FSIC II Charter.
| • | | Revision of Section 7.3 to remove the NASAA-mandated limitations on indemnification. |
Conforming Changes and Other Ministerial Modifications
The Second Articles, if adopted, would reflect a number of changes and other modifications of a ministerial nature that are necessary in light of the other changes being proposed in FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal 3 and FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 1 through FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. These changes and modifications include, among other things, deletion and revision of definitions, references and cross-references and other provisions which are no longer applicable to FSIC II or which need to be updated, and the necessaryre-numbering and lettering of remaining provisions.
Conditionality
The approval of each of the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of the Mergers.
None of the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals nor the FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals or FSIC II Merger Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the Second Articles may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
FSIC II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. The affirmative vote “FOR” FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 of at least a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast as of the FSIC II Record Date is necessary for approval of FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposal 7 unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE FSIC II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
“FOR” FSIC II LISTING CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 7.
172
FSIC III PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND MERGER 1A
FSIC III is asking its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, at Effective Time 1A, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into FSIC III. FSIC III will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of Effective Time 1A, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 will cease. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 1A, and in accordance with the MGCL, FSIC III will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate corporate existence of FSIC III will cease and all outstanding shares of FSIC III Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration shall be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. Upon completion of Merger 1A, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of FSIC III Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Consideration 1.
Please see “The Mergers” and “Description of the Merger Agreement” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the reasons the FSIC III Board has recommended that FSIC III stockholders vote for the FSIC III Merger Proposal.
Vote Required
Approval of the FSIC III Merger Proposal is required for completion of the Mergers. FSIC III stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the FSIC III Merger Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the FSIC III Merger Proposal of a majority of the outstanding shares of FSIC III Common Stock entitled to vote at the FSIC III Annual Meeting is necessary for approval of the FSIC III Merger Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the FSIC III Merger Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the FSIC III Merger Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE FSIC III BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC III STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE FSIC III MERGER PROPOSAL.
173
FSIC III PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS OF THE ISSUANCE TO ALL HOLDERS OF FSIC II COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE MERGERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS OF SHARES OF A NEW CLASS OF PREFERRED STOCK OF FSIC II WITH AN AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE COMBINED COMPANY’S NET ASSET VALUE
FSIC II is considering, subject to final approval of the FSIC II Board, the issuance to all holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV. For a description of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction, please see “FSIC II Proposal 2: Approval on a Non-Binding Advisory Basis of the Issuance to all Holders of FSIC II Common Stock Following the Closing of the Mergers on a Pro Rata Basis of Shares of a New Class of Preferred Stock of FSIC II with an Aggregate Liquidation Preference Representing Approximately 20% of the Combined Company’s Net Asset Value.” FSIC III is requesting that the holders of FSIC III Common Stock vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal on anon-binding, advisory basis. For more information about the risks associated with the Recapitalization Transaction, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers—If the Recapitalization Transaction occurs, stockholders may not be able to resell shares of preferred stock of FSIC II issued in the Recapitalization Transaction because there is not expected to be an established market for such securities, and, in any case, such securities may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference.”
FSIC III is seeking a non-binding, advisory vote of its stockholders on the Recapitalization Transaction because the FSIC II Board is considering whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction following the closing of the Mergers and values the input of FSIC III’s stockholders. However, FSIC III stockholders should note that this vote is advisory only and therefore not binding on FSIC II or the FSIC II Board. Accordingly, this proposal is not a condition to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the FSIC II Board may elect to pursue the Recapitalization Transaction following the Mergers regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal.
Vote Required
FSIC III stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal of at least a majority of all of the votes cast at the FSIC III Annual Meeting in which a quorum is present is necessary for approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
If a quorum is present at the FSIC III Annual Meeting and the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal is not approved by the FSIC III stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II Board in determining whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction but such vote will be advisory only and not binding on FSIC II.

FSIC III PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE FSIC III CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
On May 28, 2019, the FSIC III Board considered certain matters in connection with Merger 1A. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, FSIC III proposes to amend its charter to delete Section 10.5 (Other Transactions) of the FSIC III Charter. Section 10.5 of the FSIC III Charter prohibits FSIC III from engaging in transactions with the Advisor or a director or affiliate thereof unless (a) such transaction complies with the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines and all applicable law and (b) a majority of the directors (including a majority of the FSIC III Independent Directors) approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to FSIC III and on terms and conditions not less favorable to FSIC III than those available fromnon-affiliated third parties.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached asAnnex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “FSIC III Articles of Amendment”). If approved by stockholders at the FSIC III Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the FSIC III Articles of Amendment will be effected by FSIC III’s filing of the FSIC III Articles of Amendment with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or FSIC III Charter Amendment 2 are approved, FSIC III plans to file the FSIC III Articles of Amendment reflecting approved changes to the FSIC III Charter.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC III Charter pursuant to FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 if FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC III Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify changes that are described as part of FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 2.
| • | | Deletion of former Section 10.5 regarding limitations on certain affiliated transactions. |
Conditionality
The approval of each of the FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of the Mergers.
None of the FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the FSIC III Articles of Amendment may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
FSIC III stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1. The affirmative vote “FOR” FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 of at least a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast as of the FSIC III Record Date is necessary for approval of FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR FSIC III CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 1.
175
FSIC III PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE PROVISIONS OF THE FSIC III CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, FSIC III proposes to amend its charter to delete Article 12(Roll-Up Transactions) of the FSIC III Charter. Article XII of the FSIC III Charter imposes procedural protections relating toRoll-Up Transactions. Among other protections and requirements, an appraisal of FSIC III’s assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be obtained from an independent expert in connection with anyRoll-Up Transaction. Stockholders who vote against any proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be given the choice of (a) accepting the securities of theroll-up entity or (b) either (i) remaining stockholders of FSIC III and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or (ii) receiving cash in an amount equal to their proportionate share of the appraised value of FSIC III. In addition, FSIC III is prohibited from participating in anyRoll-Up Transaction in which certain stockholder rights in theroll-up entity, such as voting and access to records, are less advantageous than those currently provided to stockholders of FSIC III. Further, if theRoll-Up Transaction is not approved by the stockholders, the costs of theRoll-Up Transaction may not be borne by FSIC III. If the FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved and the stockholders vote to approve aRoll-Up Transaction, the stockholders will no longer receive the benefit of these protections. However, stockholder approval will continue to be required for FSIC III to effect aRoll-Up Transaction. FSIC III recommends this change to increase FSIC III’s flexibility to enter into aRoll-Up Transaction, such as Merger 1A, that the FSIC III Board believes to be in FSIC III’s best interest.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed FSIC III Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached asAnnex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC III Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the FSIC III Articles of Amendment will be effected by FSIC III’s filing of the FSIC III Articles of Amendment with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC III Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or FSIC III Charter Amendment 2 are approved, FSIC III plans to file the FSIC III Articles of Amendment reflecting approved changes to the FSIC III Charter.

FOR FSIC III CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 2.
176
FSIC III PROPOSAL 5: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Pursuant to FSIC III’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, the number of directors on the FSIC III Board may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the MGCL, which is one, or greater than twelve. The FSIC III Board is currently comprised of eleven directors.
The directors of FSIC III are divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class of directors holds office for a three-year term. The current Class A directors hold office for a term expiring at the FSIC III Annual Meeting. The current Class B directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2020 annual meeting. The current Class C directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2021 annual meeting.
At the FSIC III Annual Meeting, stockholders of FSIC III are being asked to consider the election of Todd C. Builione, Frederick Arnold, Michael J. Hagan and Jerel A. Hopkins as Class A directors who have been nominated forre-election for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders. No person being nominated as a director is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and FSIC III.
A stockholder can vote for, or withhold his or her vote from, any or all of the director nominees.In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of each of the director nominees named above. If any of the director nominees should decline or be unable to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee as may be proposed by the FSIC III Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee. The FSIC III Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named as director nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve.
Information about the FSIC III Board and Director Nominees
The role of the FSIC III Board is to provide general oversight of FSIC III’s business affairs and to exercise all of FSIC III’s powers except those reserved for the stockholders. The responsibilities of the FSIC III Board also include, among other things, the oversight of FSIC III’s investment activities, the quarterly valuation of FSIC III’s assets, oversight of FSIC III’s financing arrangements and corporate governance activities.
A majority of the members of the FSIC III Board are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of FSIC III or the Advisor and are “independent” as defined by Rule 303A.00 in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. These individuals are referred to as FSIC III’s independent directors (the “FSIC III Independent Directors”). Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an “interested person” to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC III. The members of the FSIC III Board who are not FSIC III Independent Directors are referred to as interested directors (the “FSIC III Interested Directors”).
The FSIC III Board is currently comprised of eleven directors, nine of whom are FSIC III Independent Directors. The FSIC III Board has determined that the following directors and director nominees are FSIC III Independent Directors: Ms. Adams and Messrs. Arnold, Ford, Goldstein, Hagan, Harrow, Hopkins, Kropp and Imasogie. Based upon information requested from each director nominee concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the FSIC III Board has affirmatively determined that none of the FSIC III Independent Director nominees has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC III, other than, if applicable, in his or her capacity as a member of the FSIC III Board or any FSIC III Board committee or as a stockholder.
In considering each director nominee and the composition of the FSIC III Board as a whole, the FSIC III Board seeks a diverse group of experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race, that the FSIC III Board believes enables a director to make a significant contribution to the FSIC III Board, FSIC III and its stockholders. These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, which are more fully described in “Management of the Fund Parties”, include, but are not limited to, management experience, independence, financial expertise and experience serving as directors or trustees of other entities. The FSIC III Board may also consider such other experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills as it deems appropriate, given the then-current needs of the FSIC III Board and FSIC III.
These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills relate directly to the management and operations of FSIC III. Success in each of these categories is a key factor in FSIC III’s overall operational success and creating stockholder value. The FSIC III Board believes that directors who possess these experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills are better able to provide oversight of FSIC III’s management and FSIC III’s long-term and strategic objectives. See “Management of the Fund Parties” for a description of the experience, characteristics, attributes and skills of each director nominee that led the FSIC III
177
Board to conclude that each such person should serve as a director. The FSIC III Board also considered the specific experience described in each director nominee’s biographical information, as described in “Management of the Fund Parties”. The biographical information set forth for each director and director nominee in “Management of the Fund Parties” is incorporated herein by reference.
Vote Required
Each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the FSIC III Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Plurality voting means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are director nominees and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the FSIC III Director Election Proposal.
THE FSIC III BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
178
FSIC III PROPOSAL 6: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On March 22, 2019, FSIC III notified RSM US LLP that RSM US LLP had been dismissed as FSIC III’s independent public accounting firm. The FSIC III audit committee approved the dismissal of RSM US LLP. The reports of RSM US LLP on the audited consolidated financial statements of FSIC III for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 22, 2019, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions between FSIC III and RSM US LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to RSM US LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused RSM US LLP to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K.
On March 26, 2019, FSIC III appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP was previously recommended by the FSIC III audit committee. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 26, 2019, neither FSIC III nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on FSIC III’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to FSIC III that Deloitte & Touche LLP concluded was an important factor considered by FSIC III in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be available to answer questions during the FSIC III Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do.
Although action by the stockholders on this matter is not required, the FSIC III audit committee and the FSIC III Board believe it is appropriate to seek stockholder ratification of this selection in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements. If a quorum is present at the FSIC III Annual Meeting and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 is not ratified by the stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC III audit committee in determining whether to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP as FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm for the succeeding fiscal year.
Fees
Set forth in the table below are audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees billed to FSIC III by RSM US LLP for professional services performed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have not receivedgeneral pre-approval must be submitted to the FSIC III audit committee for specific pre-approval in accordance withits pre-approval policy, irrespective of the amount of fees associated with such services, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted.Normally, pre-approval is considered at regularly scheduled meetings of the FSIC III audit committee. However, the FSIC III audit committee may delegate pre-
179
approval authority to one or more of its members.

Audit Committee Report
As part of its oversight of FSIC III’s financial statements, the FSIC III audit committee reviewed and discussed with both management and RSM US LLP, FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Management advised the FSIC audit committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the FSIC III audit committee. The audit committee also discussed with RSM US LLP the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended, and by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The FSIC III audit committee has establisheda pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax, and other services to be provided by FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the policy, the FSIC III auditcommittee pre-approves the auditand non-audit services performed by FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the firm’s independence.
Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax, and other services that have not received generalpre-approval must be submitted to the FSIC III audit committee for specificpre-approval in accordance with its pre-approval policy, irrespective of the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally,pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the FSIC III audit committee. However, the FSIC III audit committee maydelegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must reportany pre-approval decisions to the FSIC III audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The FSIC III audit committee does not delegate its responsibilitiesto pre-approve services performed by RSM US LLP to management.
The FSIC III audit committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from RSM US LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding RSM US LLP’s communications with the FSIC III audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with RSM US LLP its independence. The FSIC III audit committee has reviewed the audit fees paid by FSIC III to RSM US LLP. It has alsoreviewed non-audit services and fees to assure compliance with FSIC III’s and the FSIC III audit committee’s policies restricting RSM US LLP from performing services that might impair its independence.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the FSIC III audit committee recommended to the FSIC III Board that the audited consolidated financial statements of FSIC III as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 be included in FSIC III’s annual report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC. The FSIC III audit committee also recommended the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of FSIC III for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

The material in this Audit Committee report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of FSIC III under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Vote Required
The approval of the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by holders of FSIC III Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be included in
180
determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal. If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of FSIC III’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of FSIC III Common Stock, FSIC III does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the FSIC III Auditor Ratification Proposal.
THE FSIC III BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF FSIC III FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2019.

CCT II PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND MERGER 2A
CCT II is asking its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, at Effective Time 2A, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CCT II. CCT II will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 2A and in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and the MGCL, CCT II will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate existence of CCT II will cease and all outstanding CCT II Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration will be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. Upon completion of Merger 2A, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of CCT II Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Consideration 2.
Please see “The Mergers” and “Description of the Merger Agreement” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including Merger 2A, as well as the reasons the CCT II Board has recommended that CCT II stockholders vote for the CCT II Merger Proposal.
Vote Required
Approval of the CCT II Merger Proposal is required for completion of Merger 2A. CCT II shareholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the CCT II Merger Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the CCT II Merger Proposal of a majority of the outstanding shares of CCT II Common Stock entitled to vote at the CCT II Annual Meeting is necessary for approval of the CCT II Merger Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the CCT II Merger Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of CCT II Merger Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE CCT II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CCT II STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE CCT II MERGER PROPOSAL.
182
CCT II PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS OF THE ISSUANCE TO ALL HOLDERS OF FSIC II COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE MERGERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS OF SHARES OF A NEW CLASS OF PREFERRED STOCK OF FSIC II WITH AN AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE COMBINED COMPANY’S NET ASSET VALUE
FSIC II is considering, subject to final approval of the FSIC II Board, the issuance to all holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV. For a description of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction, please see “FSIC II Proposal 2: Approval on a Non-Binding Advisory Basis of the Issuance to all Holders of FSIC II Common Stock Following the Closing of the Mergers on a Pro Rata Basis of Shares of a New Class of Preferred Stock of FSIC II with an Aggregate Liquidation Preference Representing Approximately 20% of the Combined Company’s Net Asset Value.” CCT II is requesting that the holders of CCT II Common Stock vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal on anon-binding, advisory basis. For more information about the risks associated with the Recapitalization Transaction, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers—If the Recapitalization Transaction occurs, stockholders may not be able to resell shares of preferred stock of FSIC II issued in the Recapitalization Transaction because there is not expected to be an established market for such securities, and, in any case, such securities may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference.”
CCT II is seeking a non-binding, advisory vote of its stockholders on the Recapitalization Transaction because the FSIC II Board is considering whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction following the closing of the Mergers and values the input of CCT II’s stockholders. However, CCT II stockholders should note that this vote is advisory only and therefore not binding on FSIC II or the FSIC II Board. Accordingly, this proposal is not a condition to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the FSIC II Board may elect to pursue the Recapitalization Transaction following the Mergers regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal.
Vote Required
CCT II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal of at least a majority of all of the votes cast at the CCT II Annual Meeting in which a quorum is present is necessary for approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
If a quorum is present at the CCT II Annual Meeting and the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal is not approved by the CCT II stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II Board in determining whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction but such vote will be advisory only and not binding on FSIC II.
THE CCT II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CCT II STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION ADVISORY PROPOSAL
183
CCT II PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE CCT II CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
On May 28, 2019, the CCT II Board considered certain matters in connection with Merger 2A. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CCT II proposes to amend its charter to delete Section 10.6 (Other Transactions) of the CCT II Charter. Section 10.6 of the CCT II Charter prohibits CCT II from engaging in transactions with the Advisor or a director or affiliate thereof unless (a) such transaction complies with all applicable law and (b) a majority of the trustees (including a majority of the CCT II Independent Trustees) approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to CCT II and on terms and conditions not less favorable to CCT II than those available fromnon-affiliated third parties.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, a copy of which is attached asAnnex E to this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “CCT II Charter Amendment”). If approved by shareholders at the CCT II Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the CCT II Charter Amendment will be effected by CCT II’s filing of the CCT II Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “DE SOS”), and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the DE SOS. If any of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or CCT II Charter Amendment 2 are approved, CCT II plans to file the CCT II Charter Amendment reflecting approved changes to the CCT II Charter.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current CCT II Charter pursuant to CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 if CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 is approved by stockholders at the CCT II Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify changes that are described as part of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 2.
| • | | Deletion of former Section 10.6 regarding limitations on certain affiliated transactions. |
Conditionality
The approval of each of the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of Merger 2A.
None of the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the CCT II Charter Amendment may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
CCT II stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1. The affirmative vote “FOR” CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 of at least a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast as of the CCT II Record Date is necessary for approval of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR CCT II CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 1.
184
CCT II PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE CCT II CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CCT II proposes to amend its charter to delete Section 12.1(Roll-Up Transactions) of the CCT II Charter. Section 12.1 of the CCT II Charter imposes procedural protections relating toRoll-Up Transactions. Among other protections and requirements, an appraisal of CCT II’s assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be obtained from an independent expert in connection with anyRoll-Up Transaction. Shareholders who vote against any proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be given the choice of (a) accepting the securities of theroll-up entity or (b) either (i) remaining shareholders of CCT II and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or (ii) receiving cash in an amount equal to their proportionate share of the appraised value of CCT II. In addition, CCT II is prohibited from participating in anyRoll-Up Transaction in which certain shareholder rights in theroll-up entity, such as voting and access to records, are less advantageous than those currently provided to shareholders of CCT II. Further, if theRoll-Up Transaction is not approved by the shareholders, the costs of theRoll-Up Transaction may not be borne by CCT II. If the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved and the shareholders vote to approve aRoll-Up Transaction, the shareholders will no longer receive the benefit of these protections. However, shareholder approval will continue to be required for CCT II to effect aRoll-Up Transaction. CCT II recommends this change to increase CCT II’s flexibility to enter into aRoll-Up Transaction, such as Merger 2A, that the CCT II Board believes to be in CCT II’s best interest.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed CCT II Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached asAnnex E to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by shareholders at the CCT II Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the CCT II Articles of Amendment will be effected by CCT II’s filing of the CCT II Articles of Amendment with the DE SOS, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the DE SOS. If any of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or CCT II Charter Amendment 2 are approved, CCT II plans to file the CCT II Charter Amendment reflecting approved changes to the CCT II Charter.
Conditionality
The approval of each of the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of Merger 2A.
None of the CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more CCT II Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the CCT II Charter Amendment may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current CCT II Charter pursuant to CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 2 if CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved by stockholders at the CCT II Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify changes that are described as part of CCT II Charter Amendment Proposal 1.

CCT II PROPOSAL 6: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The CCT II audit committee hasre-appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm and as auditors of CCT II’s consolidated financial statements for 2019. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2015.
At the CCT II Annual Meeting, the shareholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019. CCT II is not required to have the shareholders ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm, however, CCT II is doing so because it believes it is a matter of best corporate practices. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the CCT II audit committee will reconsider the appointment. Even if this appointment is ratified, the CCT II audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year, if the CCT II audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of CCT II and its shareholders. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present in person at the CCT II Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to questions.
Fees to Auditors
The following table shows the audit fees andnon-audit related fees accrued or paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP for professional services performed for CCT II’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Policy on Audit CommitteePre-Approval of Audit andNon-Audit Services Performed by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
CCT II maintains an auditor independence policy that, among other things, mandates that the CCT II audit committee review, negotiate and approve in advance the scope of work, any related engagement letter and the fees to be charged by the independent registered public accounting firm for audit services and permissiblenon-audit services for CCT II, and for permissiblenon-audit services for CCT II’s investment advisors and any affiliates thereof that provide services to CCT II, if suchnon-audit services have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of CCT II. All of the audit andnon-audit services described above for which fees were incurred by CCT II for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, werepre-approved by the CCT II audit committee in accordance with itspre-approval policy.
Audit Committee Report
As part of its oversight of CCT II’s financial statements, the CCT II audit committee reviewed and discussed with both management and CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm CCT II’s financial statements filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Management advised the CCT II audit committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the CCT II audit committee. The CCT II audit committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
The CCT II audit committee haspre-approved, in accordance with itspre-approval policy, the permitted audit, audit-related, tax, and other services to be provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP, CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the firm’s independence. Any requests for audit, audit-
187
related, tax and other services that have not received generalpre-approval must be submitted to the CCT II audit committee for specificpre-approval in accordance with itspre-approval policy, irrespective of the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally,pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the CCT II audit committee. However, the CCT II audit committee has delegatedpre-approval authority to the CCT II audit committee Chair, James H. Kropp, who will report anypre-approval decisions to the CCT II audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The CCT II audit committee does not delegate its responsibilities topre-approve services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP to management.
The CCT II audit committee received and reviewed the written disclosures from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rule regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with audit committees concerning independence, and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence. The CCT II audit committee has reviewed the audit fees paid by CCT II to Deloitte & Touche LLP. It has also reviewednon-audit services and fees to assure compliance with CCT II and the CCT II audit committee’s policies restricting Deloitte & Touche LLP from performing services that might impair its independence.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the CCT II audit committee recommended to the CCT II Board that the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 be included in CCT II’s annual report on Form10-K for 2018, for filing with the SEC. The CCT II audit committee also recommended the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of CCT II for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
Audit Committee Members:
James H. Kropp, Chairman
Mark D. Linz
Thomas W. Morgan
The material in this Audit Committee report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of CCT II under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Vote Required
The approval of the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by holders of CCT II Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal. If a broker chooses not to exercise its discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal. Because brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of CCT II’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares of CCT II Common Stock, CCT II does not expect any brokernon-votes with respect to the CCT II Auditor Ratification Proposal.
THE CCT II BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF CCT II FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019.

FSIC IV PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND MERGER 3A
FSIC IV is asking its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, at Effective Time 3A, Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into FSIC IV. FSIC IV will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. Immediately after the occurrence of Effective Time 3A and in accordance with the MGCL, FSIC IV will merge with and into FSIC II and the separate existence of FSIC IV will cease and all outstanding shares of FSIC IV Common Stock will be cancelled and no consideration will be exchanged therefor. FSIC II will be the ultimate surviving company will continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. Upon completion of Merger 3A, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of FSIC IV Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Consideration 3.
Please see “The Mergers” and “Description of the Merger Agreement” contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including Merger 3A, as well as the reasons the FSIC IV Board has recommended that FSIC IV stockholders vote for the FSIC IV Merger Proposal.
Vote Required
Approval of the FSIC IV Merger Proposal is required for completion of Merger 3A. FSIC IV stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the FSIC IV Merger Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the FSIC IV Merger Proposal of a majority of the outstanding shares of FSIC IV Common Stock entitled to vote at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting is necessary for approval of the FSIC IV Merger Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the FSIC IV Merger Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the FSIC IV Merger Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE FSIC IV BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC IV STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE FSIC IV MERGER PROPOSAL.

FSIC IV PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS OF THE ISSUANCE TO ALL HOLDERS OF FSIC II COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE MERGERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS OF SHARES OF A NEW CLASS OF PREFERRED STOCK OF FSIC II WITH AN AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE COMBINED COMPANY’S NET ASSET VALUE
FSIC II is considering, subject to final approval of the FSIC II Board, the issuance to all holders of FSIC II Common Stock following the closing of the Mergers on a pro rata basis of shares of a new class of perpetual preferred stock of FSIC II with an aggregate liquidation preference representing approximately 20% of the combined company’s NAV. For a description of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction, please see “FSIC II Proposal 2: Approval on a Non-Binding Advisory Basis of the Issuance to all Holders of FSIC II Common Stock Following the Closing of the Mergers on a Pro Rata Basis of Shares of a New Class of Preferred Stock of FSIC II with an Aggregate Liquidation Preference Representing Approximately 20% of the Combined Company’s Net Asset Value.” FSIC IV is requesting that the holders of FSIC IV Common Stock vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal on anon-binding, advisory basis. For more information about the risks associated with the Recapitalization Transaction, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers—If the Recapitalization Transaction occurs, stockholders may not be able to resell shares of preferred stock of FSIC II issued in the Recapitalization Transaction because there is not expected to be an established market for such securities, and, in any case, such securities may trade at a significant discount to their liquidation preference.”
FSIC IV is seeking a non-binding, advisory vote of its stockholders on the Recapitalization Transaction because the FSIC II Board is considering whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction following the closing of the Mergers and values the input of FSIC IV’s stockholders. However, FSIC IV stockholders should note that this vote is advisory only and therefore not binding on FSIC II or the FSIC II Board. Accordingly, this proposal is not a condition to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the FSIC II Board may elect to pursue the Recapitalization Transaction following the Mergers regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote on the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal.
Vote Required
FSIC IV stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. The affirmative vote “FOR” the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal of at least a majority of all of the votes cast at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting in which a quorum is present is necessary for approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal unless stockholders designate otherwise.
If a quorum is present at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting and the Recapitalization Transaction Advisory Proposal is not approved by the FSIC IV stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the FSIC II Board in determining whether to consummate the Recapitalization Transaction but such vote will be advisory only and not binding on FSIC II.
THE FSIC IV BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FSIC IV STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION ADVISORY PROPOSAL

FSIC IV PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE A SECTION OF THE FSIC IV CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
On May 28, 2019, the FSIC IV Board considered certain matters in connection with Merger 3A. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, FSIC IV proposes to amend its charter to delete Section 10.5 (Other Transactions) of the FSIC IV Charter. Section 10.5 of the FSIC IV Charter prohibits FSIC IV from engaging in transactions with the Advisor or a director or affiliate thereof unless (a) such transaction complies with the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines and all applicable law and (b) a majority of the directors (including a majority of the FSIC IV Independent Directors) approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to FSIC IV and on terms and conditions not less favorable to FSIC IV than those available fromnon-affiliated third parties.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached asAnnex Fto this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “FSIC IV Articles of Amendment”). If approved by stockholders at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment will be effected by FSIC IV’s filing of the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or FSIC IV Charter Amendment 2 are approved, FSIC IV plans to file the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment reflecting approved changes to the FSIC IV Charter.
Summary of Specific Change
Listed below, in summary form, is the specific change that will be made to the current FSIC IV Charter pursuant to FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 if FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 is approved by stockholders at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting. The below summary does not identify changes that are described as part of FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 2.
| • | | Deletion of former Section 10.5 regarding limitations on certain affiliated transactions. |
Conditionality
The approval of each of the FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposals is a condition to the closing of Merger 3A.
None of the FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposals are conditioned on approving any other FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal. If one or more FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposals fails to receive the required vote, the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment may be modified before filing to reflect only the proposals that are approved.
Vote Required
FSIC IV stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or they may “ABSTAIN” from voting on, FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1. The affirmative vote “FOR” FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 of at least a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast as of the FSIC IV Record Date is necessary for approval of FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 unless stockholders designate otherwise.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR FSIC IV CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 1.
191
FSIC IV PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO DELETE PROVISIONS OF THE FSIC IV CHARTER REGARDING LIMITATIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, FSIC IV proposes to amend its charter to delete Article XII(Roll-Up Transactions) of the FSIC IV Charter. Article XII of the FSIC IV Charter imposes procedural protections relating toRoll-Up Transactions. Among other protections and requirements, an appraisal of FSIC IV’s assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be obtained from an independent expert in connection with anyRoll-Up Transaction. Stockholders who vote against any proposedRoll-Up Transaction must be given the choice of (a) accepting the securities of theroll-up entity or (b) either (i) remaining stockholders of FSIC IV and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or (ii) receiving cash in an amount equal to their proportionate share of the appraised value of FSIC IV. In addition, FSIC IV is prohibited from participating in anyRoll-Up Transaction in which certain stockholder rights in theroll-up entity, such as voting and access to records, are less advantageous than those currently provided to stockholders of FSIC IV. Further, if theRoll-Up Transaction is not approved by the stockholders, the costs of theRoll-Up Transaction may not be borne by FSIC IV. If the FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 2 is approved and the stockholders vote to approve aRoll-Up Transaction, the stockholders will no longer receive the benefit of these protections. However, stockholder approval will continue to be required for FSIC IV to effect aRoll-Up Transaction. FSIC IV recommends this change to increase FSIC IV’s flexibility to enter into aRoll-Up Transaction, such as Merger 3A, that the FSIC IV Board believes to be in FSIC IV’s best interest.
This summary description is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the proposed FSIC IV Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached asAnnex F to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by stockholders at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting, the amendments reflected in the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment will be effected by FSIC IV’s filing of the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment with the SDAT, and will become effective upon filing and acceptance for record by the SDAT. If any of FSIC IV Charter Amendment Proposal 1 or FSIC IV Charter Amendment 2 are approved, FSIC IV plans to file the FSIC IV Articles of Amendment reflecting approved changes to the FSIC IV Charter.

192
FSIC IV PROPOSAL 5: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Pursuant to FSIC IV’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the number of directors on the FSIC IV Board may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the MGCL, which is one, or greater than twelve. The FSIC IV Board is currently comprised of eleven directors.
The directors of FSIC IV are divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class of directors holds office for a three-year term. The current Class A directors hold office for a term expiring at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting. The current Class B directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2020 annual meeting. The current Class C directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2021 annual meeting.
At the FSIC IV Annual Meeting, stockholders of FSIC IV are being asked to consider the election of Todd C. Builione, Frederick Arnold, Michael J. Hagan and Jerel A. Hopkins as Class A directors who have been nominated forre-election for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders. No person being nominated as a director is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and FSIC IV.
A stockholder can vote for, or withhold his or her vote from, any or all of the director nominees.In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of each of the director nominees named above. If any of the director nominees should decline or be unable to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee as may be proposed by the FSIC IV Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee. The FSIC IV Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named as director nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve.
Information about the FSIC IV Board and Director Nominees
The role of the FSIC IV Board is to provide general oversight of FSIC IV’s business affairs and to exercise all of FSIC IV’s powers except those reserved for the stockholders. The responsibilities of the FSIC IV Board also include, among other things, the oversight of FSIC IV’s investment activities, the quarterly valuation of FSIC IV’s assets, oversight of FSIC IV’s financing arrangements and corporate governance activities.
A majority of the members of the FSIC IV Board are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of FSIC IV or the Advisor and are “independent” as defined by Rule 303A.00 in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. These individuals are referred to as FSIC IV’s independent directors (the “FSIC IV Independent Directors”). Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an “interested person” to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC IV. The members of the FSIC IV Board who are not FSIC IV Independent Directors are referred to as interested directors (the “FSIC IV Interested Directors”).
The FSIC IV Board is currently comprised of eleven directors, nine of whom are FSIC IV Independent Directors. The FSIC IV Board has determined that the following directors and director nominees are FSIC IV Independent Directors: Ms. Adams and Messrs. Arnold, Ford, Goldstein, Hagan, Harrow, Hopkins, Kropp and Imasogie. Based upon information requested from each director nominee concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the FSIC IV Board has affirmatively determined that none of the FSIC IV Independent Director nominees has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with FSIC IV, other than, if applicable, in his or her capacity as a member of the FSIC IV Board or any FSIC IV Board committee or as a stockholder.
In considering each director nominee and the composition of the FSIC IV Board as a whole, the FSIC IV Board seeks a diverse group of experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race, that the FSIC IV Board believes enables a director to make a significant contribution to the FSIC IV Board, FSIC IV and its stockholders. These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, which are more fully described in “Management of the Fund Parties”, include, but are not limited to, management experience, independence, financial expertise and experience serving as directors or trustees of other entities. The FSIC IV Board may also consider such other experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills as it deems appropriate, given the then-current needs of the FSIC IV Board and FSIC IV.
These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills relate directly to the management and operations of FSIC IV. Success in each of these categories is a key factor in FSIC IV’s overall operational success and creating stockholder value. The FSIC IV Board believes that directors who possess these experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills are better able to provide oversight of FSIC IV’s management and FSIC IV’s long-term and strategic objectives. See “Management of the Fund Parties” for a description of the experience, characteristics, attributes and skills of each director nominee that led the FSIC IV
193
Board to conclude that each such person should serve as a director. The FSIC IV Board also considered the specific experience described in each director nominee’s biographical information, as described in “Management of the Fund Parties”. The biographical information set forth for each director and director nominee in “Management of the Fund Parties” is incorporated herein by reference.
Vote Required
Each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of all the votes cast at the FSIC IV Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Plurality voting means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are director nominees and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the FSIC IV Director Election Proposal.
THE FSIC IV BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

FSIC IV PROPOSAL 6: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On March 22, 2019, FSIC IV notified RSM US LLP that RSM US LLP had been dismissed as FSIC IV’s independent public accounting firm. The FSIC IV audit committee approved the dismissal of RSM US LLP. The reports of RSM US LLP on the audited consolidated financial statements of FSIC IV for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 22, 2019, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions between FSIC IV and RSM US LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to RSM US LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused RSM US LLP to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K.
On March 26, 2019, FSIC IV appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as FSIC IV’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP was previously recommended by the FSIC IV audit committee. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period through March 26, 2019, neither FSIC IV nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on FSIC IV’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to FSIC IV that Deloitte & Touche LLP concluded was an important factor considered by FSIC IV in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of RegulationS-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be available to answer questions during the FSIC IV Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do.
Although action by the stockholders on this matter is not required, the FSIC IV audit committee and the FSIC IV Board believe it is appropriate to seek stockholder ratification of this selection in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on FSIC IV’s consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS OF THE FUND PARTIES
The businesses and investment objectives of each of the Fund Parties are substantially the same. Each of the Fund Parties is an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, each of the Fund Parties is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. In addition, each of the Fund Parties has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.
FSIC II was incorporated under the MGCL on July 13, 2011, and formally commenced investment operations on June 18, 2012. FSIC II As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II had total assets of approximately $4,808.6 million.
FSIC III was incorporated under the MGCL on June 7, 2013, and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC III had total assets of approximately $3,862.6 million.
CCT II was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014 and formally commenced investment operations on March 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, CCT II had total assets of approximately $184.4 million.
FSIC IV was incorporated under the MGCL on February 25, 2015, and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC IV had total assets of approximately $385.0 million.
The Fund Parties’ investment activities are managed by the Advisor, a registered investment adviser under the Adviser’s Act, which oversees the management of the Fund Parties’ operations and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to each fund’s portfolio. The Fund Parties’ investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Fund Parties seek to meet their investment objectives by:
| • | | utilizing the experience and expertise of the management team of the Advisor; |
| • | | employing a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection; |
| • | | focusing primarily on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S. companies, including middle market companies, which the Fund Parties define as companies with annual EBITDA of $25 million to $100 million at the time of investment. In many market environments, the Fund Parties believe such a focus offers an opportunity for superior risk adjusted returns; |
| • | | investing primarily in established, stable enterprises with positive cash flows; and |
| • | | maintaining rigorous portfolio monitoring, in an attempt to anticipate andpre-empt negative credit events within each Fund Party’s portfolio, such as an event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company. |
The Fund Parties’ portfolios are 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 the Fund Parties do not expect a significant portion of their portfolios to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which they may invest. The Fund Parties 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 their respective target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with the Fund Parties’ debt investments, the Fund Parties may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. The Fund Parties 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 their respective target companies, generally in conjunction with one of their 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 each fund’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor the investment focus of each Fund Party (including FSIC II following the Mergers) as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, the Fund Parties may increase or decrease their exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
198
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which the Fund Parties invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that each fund makes 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 each fund’s portfolio. The Fund Parties’ debt investments may be rated by an NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). The Fund Parties also invest innon-rated debt securities.
To seek to enhance their returns, the Fund Parties employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. With certain limited exceptions, the Fund Parties are only allowed to borrow amounts or issue debt securities if its asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. The minimum asset coverage requirement applicable to BDCs under the 1940 Act, however, is currently 150% provided that certain disclosure, approval and other requirements are met. See “Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Economic Conditions—Risks Related to the Fund Parties’ Business and Structure—The SBCA Act allows the Fund Parties to incur additional leverage” for additional information.
As BDCs, the Fund Parties are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making their investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 transactions where price is the only negotiated term. In an order dated April 3, 2018, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Fund Parties, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with the Fund Parties’co-investment affiliates. The Fund Parties believe this relief enhances their ability to further their investment objectives and strategies. The Fund Parties believe this relief may also increase favorable investment opportunities for them in part by allowing the Fund Parties to participate in larger investments, together with theirco-investment affiliates, than would be available to them if such relief had not been obtained.
While a BDC may list its shares for trading in the public markets, the Fund Parties have currently elected not to do so. The Fund Parties believe that anon-traded structure is more appropriate for the long-term nature of the assets in which they invest. This structure allows the Fund Parties to operate with a long-term view, similar to that of other types of private investment funds, instead of managing to quarterly market expectations. Furthermore, while the Fund Parties’ distribution reinvestment and share repurchase prices are subject to adjustment in accordance with the 1940 Act and such Fund Party’s pricing policy, because shares of common stock of the Fund Parties are not currently listed on a national securities exchange, the Fund Parties’ stockholders are not subject to the daily share price volatility associated with the public markets. However, the NAV of shares of the Fund Parties’ common stock may still be volatile.
About the Advisor
The Advisor is a Delaware limited liability company, located at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19112, registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Advisers Act. The Advisor is a partnership between an affiliate of FS Investments and KKR Credit. The Fund Parties’ chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, serves as the Advisor’s chairman and chief executive officer, and Todd C. Builione, the Fund Parties’ president, serves as the Advisor’s president.
The Advisor’s management team has significant experience in private lending and private equity investing, and has developed an expertise in using all levels of a firm’s capital structure to produce income-generating investments, while focusing on risk management. The team also has extensive knowledge of the managerial, operational and regulatory requirements of publicly registered alternative asset entities, such as BDCs. The Fund Parties believe that the active and ongoing participation by FS Investments, KKR Credit and their respective affiliates in the credit markets, and the depth of experience and disciplined investment approach of the Advisor’s management team, will allow the Advisor to successfully execute the Fund Parties’ investment strategies. The boards of directors of the Fund Parties, including a majority of independent directors, oversee and monitor the Fund Parties’ investment performance, and beginning with the second anniversary of the effective date of each of the investment advisory agreements, will review the investment advisory agreements to determine, among other things, whether the fees payable under such agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Potential Market Opportunity
The Fund Parties believe that there are and will continue to be significant investment opportunities in the senior secured and second lien secured loan asset class, as well as investments in debt securities of middle market companies.
Attractive Opportunities in Senior Secured and Second Lien Secured Loans
The Fund Parties believe that opportunities in senior secured and second lien secured loans are significant because of the variable rate structure of most senior secured debt issues and because of the strong defensive characteristics of this investment class. Given current market conditions, the Fund Parties believe that debt issues with variable interest rates often offer a superior return profile to fixed-rate securities, since variable interest rate structures are generally less susceptible to declines in value experienced by fixed-rate securities in a rising interest rate environment.
Senior secured debt also provides strong defensive characteristics. Because this debt has priority in payment among an issuer’s security holders (i.e., holders are due to receive payment before junior creditors and equity holders), they carry the least potential risk among investments in the issuer’s capital structure. Further, these investments are secured by the issuer’s assets, which may be seized in the event of a default, if necessary. They generally also carry restrictive covenants aimed at ensuring repayment before junior creditors, such as most types of unsecured bondholders, and other security holders and preserving collateral to protect against credit deterioration.
Opportunity in Middle Market Private Companies
In addition to investing in senior secured and second lien secured loans generally, the Fund Parties believe that the market for lending to private companies, particularly middle market private companies within the United States, is underserved and presents a compelling investment opportunity. The Fund Parties believe that the following characteristics support their belief:
Large Target Market
Middle market companies represent, the Fund Parties believe, a significant portion of the growth segment of the U.S. economy and often require substantial capital investment to grow their businesses. Middle market companies have generated a significant number of investment opportunities for the Fund Parties and investment programs managed by the Fund Parties’ affiliates over the past several years, and the Fund Parties believe that this market segment will continue to produce significant investment opportunities for the Fund Parties.
Limited Investment Competition
Despite the size of the market, the Fund Parties believe that regulatory changes and other factors have diminished the role of traditional financial institutions in providing financing to middle market companies. As tracked by S&P Capital IQ LCD,
200
U.S. banks’ share of senior secured loans to middle market companies represented approximately 4% of overall middle market loan volume in 2018 and 1% of overall middle market loan volume in 2017, down from nearly 25% in 2000. However, the continuation of lower levels of participation by traditional financial institutions in the middle market is uncertain as a result of changing investment opportunities in the broader market and a potentially changing regulatory landscape.
The Fund Parties also believe that lending and originating new loans to middle market companies, which are often private, generally requires a greater dedication of the lender’s time and resources compared to lending to larger companies, due in part to the smaller size of each investment and the often fragmented nature of information available from these companies. Further, many investment firms lack the breadth and scale necessary to identify investment opportunities, particularly in regards to directly originated investments in middle market companies, and thus the Fund Parties believe that attractive investment opportunities are often overlooked. In addition, middle market companies may require more active monitoring and participation on the lender’s part. The Fund Parties believe that many large financial organizations, which often have relatively high cost structures, are not suited to deal with these factors and instead emphasize services and transactions to larger corporate clients with a consequent reduction in the availability of financing to middle market companies.
Attractive Market Segment
The Fund Parties believe that the underserved nature of such a large segment of the market can at times create a significant opportunity for investment. In many environments, the Fund Parties believe that middle market companies are more likely to offer attractive economics in terms of transaction pricing,up-front and ongoing fees, prepayment penalties and security features in the form of stricter covenants and quality collateral than loans to larger companies. In addition, as compared to larger companies, middle market companies often have simpler capital structures and carry less leverage, thus aiding the structuring and negotiation process and allowing the Fund Parties greater flexibility in structuring favorable transactions. The Fund Parties believe that these factors will result in advantageous conditions in which to pursue their investment objectives of generating current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.
Characteristics of and Risks Related to Investments in Private Companies
The Fund Parties invest primarily in the debt of private middle market U.S. companies. Investments in private companies pose significantly greater risks than investments in public companies. First, private companies have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished capital resources and ability to withstand financial distress. As a result, these companies, which may present greater credit risk than public companies, may be unable to meet the obligations under their debt securities that the Fund Parties hold. Second, the investments themselves may often be illiquid. The securities of most of the companies in which the Fund Parties invest are not publicly traded or actively traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiatedover-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. In addition, the Fund Parties’ directly originated investments generally will not be traded on any secondary market and a trading market for such investments may not develop. These securities may also be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. As such, the Fund Parties may have difficulty exiting an investment promptly or at a desired price prior to maturity or outside of a normal amortization schedule. These investments may also be difficult to value because little public information generally exists about private companies, requiring an experienced due diligence team to analyze and value the potential portfolio company. Finally, these companies often may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. The Fund Parties must therefore rely on the ability of the Advisor to obtain adequate information through its due diligence efforts to evaluate the creditworthiness of, and risks involved in, investing in these companies, and to determine the optimal time to exit an investment. These companies and their financial information will also generally not be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules and regulations that govern public companies that are designed to protect investors.
Investment Strategy
The Fund Parties’ principal focus is to invest in senior secured 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 the Fund Parties do not expect a significant portion of their portfolios to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which they may invest. The Fund Parties 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 their respective target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with the Fund Parties’ debt investments, the Fund Parties may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. The Fund Parties may also purchase or otherwise acquire minority 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 its target companies, generally in conjunction with one of the Fund
201
Parties’ debt investments or through aco-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of each fund’s portfolio may be comprised of bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives. The Advisor will seek to tailor the investment focus of each Fund Party (including FSIC II following the Mergers) as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, the Fund Parties may increase or decrease their exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by each fund’s fundamental analysis, which the Fund Parties believe may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
When identifying prospective portfolio companies, the Fund Parties focus primarily on the attributes set forth below, which the Fund Parties believe will help them generate higher total returns with an acceptable level of risk. While these criteria provide general guidelines for the Fund Parties’ investment decisions, the Fund Parties caution investors that, if the Fund Parties believe the benefits of investing are sufficiently strong, not all of these criteria necessarily will be met by each prospective portfolio company in which the Fund Parties choose to invest. These attributes are:
| • | | Leading, defensible market positions. The Fund Parties seek to invest in companies that have developed strong positions within their respective markets and exhibit the potential to maintain sufficient cash flows and profitability to service the Fund Parties’ debt in a range of economic environments. The Fund Parties seek companies that can protect their competitive advantages through scale, scope, customer loyalty, product pricing or product quality versus their competitors, thereby minimizing business risk and protecting profitability. |
| • | | Investing in stable companies with positive cash flow. The Fund Parties seek to invest in established, stable companies with strong profitability and cash flows. Such companies, the Fund Parties believe, are well-positioned to maintain consistent cash flow to service and repay the Fund Parties’ loans and maintain growth in their businesses or market share. The Fund Parties do not intend to invest to any significant degree instart-up companies, turnaround situations or companies with speculative business plans. |
| • | | Proven management teams. The Fund Parties focus on companies that have experienced management teams with an established track record of success. The Fund Parties typically prefer their portfolio companies to have proper incentives in place, which may includenon-cash and performance-based compensation, to align management’s goals with theirs. |
| • | | Private equity sponsorship. Often, the Fund Parties seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what the Fund Parties believe to be sophisticated and seasoned private equity firms. The Advisor’s management team believes that a private equity sponsor’s willingness to invest significant sums of equity capital into a company is an endorsement of the quality of the investment. Further, byco-investing with such experienced private equity firms which commit significant sums of equity capital ranking junior in priority of payment to the Fund Parties’ debt investments, the Fund Parties may benefit from the due diligence review performed by the private equity firm, in addition to its own due diligence review. Further, strong private equity sponsors with significant investments at risk have the ability and a strong incentive to contribute additional capital in difficult economic times should operational or financial issues arise which could provide additional protections for the Fund Parties’ investments. |
| • | | Allocation among various issuers and industries. The Fund Parties seek to allocate their portfolio broadly among issuers and industries, thereby attempting to reduce the risk of a downturn in any one company or industry having a disproportionate adverse impact on the value of their portfolios. |
| • | | Viable exit strategy. While the Fund Parties attempt to invest in securities that may be sold in a privately negotiatedover-the-counter market, providing the Fund Parties a means by which they may exit their positions, the Fund Parties expect that a large portion of their portfolios may not be sold on this secondary market. For any investments that are not able to be sold within this market, the Fund Parties focus primarily on investing in companies whose business models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of the Fund Parties’ investments, an initial public offering of equity securities, a merger, a sale or a recapitalization, in each case with the potential for capital gains. |

Potential Competitive Strengths
The Fund Parties believe that they offer investors the following potential competitive strengths:
Global platform with seasoned investment professionals
The Fund Parties believe that the breadth and depth of the experience of the Advisor’s senior management team, which is dedicated to sourcing, structuring, executing, monitoring and harvesting a broad range of private investments, provides the Fund Parties with a significant competitive advantage in sourcing and analyzing attractive investment opportunities.
Long-term investment horizon
The Fund Parties’ long-term investment horizon gives them great flexibility, which the Fund Parties believe allows them to maximize returns on their investments. Unlike most private equity and venture capital funds, as well as many private debt funds, the Fund Parties are not required to return capital to their stockholders once it exits a portfolio investment. The Fund Parties believe that freedom from such capital return requirements, which allows them to invest using a longer-term focus, provides them with the opportunity to increase total returns on invested capital, compared to other private company investment vehicles.
Disciplined, income-oriented investment philosophy
The Advisor employs a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection. This investment approach involves a multi-stage selection process for each investment opportunity, as well as ongoing monitoring of each investment made, with particular emphasis on early detection of deteriorating credit conditions at portfolio companies which would result in adverse portfolio developments. This strategy is designed to maximize current income and minimize the risk of capital loss while maintaining the potential for long-term capital appreciation.
Investment expertise across all levels of the corporate capital structure
The Advisor believes that its broad expertise and experience investing at all levels of a company’s capital structure enable the Fund Parties to manage risk while affording them the opportunity for significant returns on their investments. The Fund Parties attempt to capitalize on this expertise in an effort to produce and maintain an investment portfolio that will perform in a broad range of economic conditions.
International Capital Markets Capabilities.
The Advisor leverages the intellectual capital, industry experience and global network of KKR & Co.’s Capital Markets team to support the origination of new private credit investment opportunities. Through KKR & Co.’s Capital Markets franchise, the Advisor benefits from expanded sources of deal flow, real-time market intelligence on pricing trends and continuous dialogue with issuers and sponsors to provide holistic financing solutions to current and prospective portfolio companies. In addition, KKR & Co.’s Capital Markets franchise gives the Fund Parties the ability to access and originate larger transactions and enhances the Advisor’s ability to manage risk.
Ability to Create Bespoke Financing Solutions through Asset-Based Finance.
The Advisor believes that there is an expansive and growing opportunity to create customized solutions in underserved and mispriced asset classes, including across the aircraft, consumer finance, real estate and auto & equipment finance sectors. The Advisor will seek to identify investments with strong collateral protection, a low correlation to the broader markets and equity-like upside potential.
Operating and Regulatory Structure
The Fund Parties’ investment activities are managed by the Advisor and supervised by each fund’s board of directors, a majority of whose members are independent. Under each fund’s investment advisory and administrative services agreement, each fund has agreed to pay the Advisor an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of its gross assets and an incentive fee based on such Fund Party’s performance. See “Contractual Obligations” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV, as applicable, for a description of the fees the Fund Parties pay to the Advisor. From time to time, the Advisor may enter intosub-advisory relationships with registered investment advisers that possess skills or attributes that the Advisor believes will aid it in achieving the Fund Parties’ investment objectives.
203
The Advisor oversees the Fund Parties’day-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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Fund Parties’ corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Fund Parties are each required to maintain and preparing reports for such Fund Party’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists the Fund Parties in calculating their NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to their stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Fund Parties’ expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund Parties by others.
Pursuant to each Fund Party’s investment advisory and administrative services agreement between the Advisor and the applicable Fund Party, such Fund Party reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to such Fund Party’s administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to the Fund Parties on behalf of the Advisor. The FS Funds reimburse the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Fund Parties’ administration and operations. CCT II reimburses the Advisor quarterly for expenses necessary to perform services related to CCT II’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Fund Parties estimate they would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to each fund based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The boards of directors of each fund review the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to such Fund Party and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among each fund and certain affiliates of the Advisor. Each Fund Party’s board of directors or trustees, as applicable, then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to such Fund Party based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to such Fund Party of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the 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 board of directors compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of such Fund Party’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.
The Fund Parties 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 the Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by the Fund Parties and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.
As a BDCs, the Fund Parties are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. Also, while the Fund Parties are permitted to finance investments using debt, the Fund Parties’ ability to use debt will be limited in certain significant respects pursuant to the 1940 Act. Within the limits of existing regulation, the Fund Parties will adjust their use of debt, according to market conditions, to the level such Fund Party believes will allow it to generate maximum risk-adjusted returns. See “Regulation of the Fund Parties.” The Fund Parties have each elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
Investment Types
The Fund Parties primarily focus on the following investment types:
Senior Secured Loans
Senior secured loans are situated at the top of the capital structure. Because these loans generally have priority in payment, they carry the least risk among all investments in a firm. Generally, the Fund Parties’ senior secured loans are expected to have maturities of three to seven years, offer some form of amortization, and have first priority security interests in the assets of the borrower. Generally, the Fund Parties expect that the interest rate on their senior secured loans typically will have variable rates over a standard benchmark, such as the prime rate or LIBOR.
Second Lien Secured Loans
Second lien secured loans are immediately junior to senior secured loans and have substantially the same maturities, collateral and covenant structures as senior secured loans. Second lien secured loans, however, are granted a second priority security interest in the assets of the borrower, which means that any realization of collateral will generally be applied to pay senior secured loans in full before second lien secured loans are paid and the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to
204
repay in full both senior secured loans and second lien secured loans. In return for this junior ranking, second lien secured loans generally offer higher returns compared to senior secured debt. These higher returns come in the form of higher interest and in some cases the potential for equity participation through warrants, though to a lesser extent than with subordinated loans. Generally, the Fund Parties expect these loans to carry a fixed rate, or a floating current yield over a standard benchmark. In addition, the Fund Parties may receive additional returns from any warrants they may receive in connection with these investments.
Senior Secured Bonds
Senior secured bonds are generally secured by collateral on a senior,pari passu or junior basis with other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure and have similar maturities and covenant structures as senior secured loans. Generally, the Fund Parties expect these investments to carry a fixed rate.
Subordinated Debt
In addition to senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds, the Fund Parties may invest a portion of their assets in subordinated debt. Subordinated debt investments usually rank junior in priority of payment to senior debt and are often unsecured, but are situated above preferred equity and common equity in the capital structure. In return for their junior status compared to senior debt, subordinated debt investments typically offer higher returns through both higher interest rates and possible equity ownership in the form of warrants, enabling the lender to participate in the capital appreciation of the borrower. These warrants typically require only a nominal cost to exercise. The Fund Parties generally target subordinated debt with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security, with the principal due at maturity. Typically, subordinated debt investments have maturities of five to ten years. Generally, the Fund Parties expect these securities to carry a fixed rate or a floating current yield over a standard benchmark. In addition, the Fund Parties may receive additional returns from any warrants they may receive in connection with these investments. In some cases, a portion of the total interest may accrue or be PIK.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities
While the Fund Parties intend to maintain their focus on investments in debt securities, from time to time, when the Fund Parties see the potential for extraordinary gain, or in connection with securing particularly favorable terms in a debt investment, they may enter into investments in preferred or common equity, typically in conjunction with a private equity sponsor they believe to be sophisticated and seasoned. In addition, the Fund Parties typically receive the right to make equity investments in a portfolio company whose debt securities it holds in connection with the next equity financing round for that company. This right may provide the Fund Parties with the opportunity to further enhance its returns over time through equity investments in its portfolio companies. In addition, the Fund Parties may hold 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, generally obtained in conjunction with one of their debt investments or through aco-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In the future, the Fund Parties may achieve liquidity through a merger or acquisition of a portfolio company, a public offering of a portfolio company’s stock or by exercising their right, if any, to require a portfolio company to repurchase the equity-related securities they hold.
Convertible Securities
The Fund Parties may invest in convertible securities, such as bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted into, or exchanged for, a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula.
Non-U.S. Securities
The Fund Parties may invest innon-U.S. securities, which may include securities denominated in U.S. dollars or innon-U.S. currencies and securities of companies in emerging markets, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.
Structured Products
The Fund Parties may invest in structured products, which may include collateralized debt obligations, collateralized bond obligations, collateralized loan obligations, structured notes and credit-linked notes. The issuers of such investment products may be structured as trusts or other types of pooled investment vehicles. Such products may also involve the deposit with or purchase by an entity of the underlying investments and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying investments or referencing an indicator related to such investments.
205
Derivatives
The Fund Parties may also invest from time to time in derivatives, including total return swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The Fund Parties anticipate that any use of derivatives would primarily be as a substitute for investing in conventional securities or to hedge potential risk that is identified by the Advisor.
Investments in Private Investment Funds
The Fund Parties may invest in, or wholly own, private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, limited liability companies, real estate investment trusts and other business entities. In particular, the Fund Parties expect that they may invest in asset-based opportunities through joint ventures, investment platforms orbuild-ups that provide one or more of the following services: origination or sourcing of potential investment opportunities, due diligence and negotiation of potential investment opportunities and/or servicing, development and management (including turnaround) and disposition of investments. Such investments in joint ventures, platforms andbuild-ups may be in or alongside existing or newly formed operators, consultants and/or managers that pursue such opportunities and may or may not include capital and/or assets contributed by third party investors. Such investments may include opportunities to direct-finance physical assets, such as airplanes and ships, and/or operating assets, such as financial service entities, as opposed to investment securities, or to invest in origination and/or servicing platforms directly. These asset-based opportunities are expected to offer mezzanine-like structural downside protection as well as asset collateral, and equity-like upside that can be achieved through appreciation at the asset-level or, in the case of platforms, through growth of the enterprise value. Key areas of focus include, without limitation, (i) aircraft, (ii) shipping, (iii) renewables, (iv) real estate, (v) consumer finance, and (vi) energy/infrastructure.
Investments with Third Parties
The Fund Parties mayco-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, thereby acquiring jointly-controlled ornon-controlling interests in certain investments in conjunction with participation by one or more third parties in such investment. Such joint venture partners or third party managers may include former personnel of the Advisor or its affiliates or associated persons.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Fund Parties may maintain a certain level of cash or equivalent instruments, including money market funds, to makefollow-on investments, if necessary, in existing portfolio companies or to take advantage of new opportunities.
Comparison of Targeted Debt Investments to Corporate Bonds
Loans to private companies are debt instruments that can be compared to corporate bonds to aid an investor’s understanding. As with corporate bonds, loans to private companies can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuer’s cash flows, the quality of assets securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject company’s debt obligations. As is the case in the corporate bond market, the Fund Parties will require greater returns for securities that they perceive to carry increased risk. The companies in which the Fund Parties invest may be leveraged, often as a result of leveraged buyouts or other recapitalization transactions, and, in many cases, will not be rated by national rating agencies. When the Fund Parties’ targeted debt investments do carry ratings from a NRSRO, the Fund Parties believe that such ratings generally will be below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). To the extent the Fund Parties make unrated investments, they believes that such investments would likely receive similar ratings if they were to be examined by a NRSRO. Compared to below-investment grade corporate bonds that are typically available to the public, the Fund Parties’ targeted senior secured and second lien secured loan investments are higher in the capital structure, have priority in receiving payment, are secured by the issuer’s assets, allow the lender to seize collateral if necessary, and generally exhibit higher rates of recovery in the event of default. Corporate bonds, on the other hand, are often unsecured obligations of the issuer.
The market for loans to private companies possesses several key differences compared to the corporate bond market. For instance, due to a possible lack of debt ratings for certain middle market firms, and also due to the reduced availability of information for private companies, investors must conduct extensive due diligence investigations before committing to an investment. This intensive due diligence process gives the investor significant access to management, which is often not possible in the case of corporate bondholders, who rely on underwriters, debt rating agencies and publicly available information for due diligence reviews and monitoring of corporate issuers. While holding these investments, private debt investors often receive monthly or quarterly updates on the portfolio company’s financial performance, along with possible representation on
206
the company’s board of directors, which allows the investor to take remedial action quickly if conditions happen to deteriorate. Due to reduced liquidity, the relative scarcity of capital and extensive due diligence and expertise required on the part of the investor, the Fund Parties believe that private debt securities typically offer higher returns than corporate bonds of equivalent credit quality.
Sources of Income
The primary means through which the Fund Parties’ stockholders will receive a return of value is through interest income, dividends and capital gains generated by the Fund Parties’ investments. In addition to these sources of income, the Fund Parties may receive fees paid by their portfolio companies, includingone-time closing fees paid at the time each investment is made. Closing fees typically range from 1.0% to 2.0% of the purchase price of an investment. In addition, the Fund Parties may generate revenues in the form ofnon-recurring commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and performance-based fees.
Risk Management
The Fund Parties seek to limit the downside potential of their investment portfolios by, among other things:
| • | | applying their investment strategy guidelines for portfolio investments; |
| • | | requiring a total return on investments (including both interest and potential appreciation) that adequately compensates them for credit risk; |
| • | | allocating its portfolio among various issuers and industries, size permitting, with an adequate number of companies, across different industries, with different types of collateral; and |
| • | | negotiating or seeking debt investments with covenants or features that protect such Fund Party while affording portfolio companies flexibility in managing their businesses consistent with preservation of capital, which may include affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties, lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights. |
The Fund Parties may also enter into interest rate hedging transactions at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Such transactions will enable such Fund Party to selectively modify interest rate exposure as market conditions dictate.
Affirmative Covenants
Affirmative covenants require borrowers to take actions that are meant to ensure the solvency of the company, facilitate the lender’s monitoring of the borrower, and ensure payment of interest and loan principal due to lenders. Examples of affirmative covenants include covenants requiring the borrower to maintain adequate insurance, accounting and tax records, and to produce frequent financial reports for the benefit of the lender.
Negative Covenants
Negative covenants impose restrictions on the borrower and are meant to protect lenders from actions that the borrower may take that could harm the credit quality of the lender’s investments. Examples of negative covenants include restrictions on the payment of dividends and restrictions on the issuance of additional debt without the lender’s approval. In addition, certain covenants restrict a borrower’s activities by requiring it to meet certain earnings interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio requirements. These covenants are also referred to as financial or maintenance covenants.
Investment Process
The investment professionals employed by the Advisor or its affiliates have spent their careers developing the resources necessary to invest in private companies. The Fund Parties’ current transaction process is highlighted below.
Transaction Process
207
Sourcing
The relationships of the Advisor and its affiliates provide the Fund Parties with access to a robust and established pipeline of investment opportunities sourced from a variety of different investment channels, including private equity sponsors,non-sponsored corporates, financial advisors, banks, brokers and family offices. In addition, access to KKR & Co.’s Capital Markets and KKR’s Principal Finance strategies provide the Fund Parties with additional origination opportunities.
Evaluation
Screening. Once a potential investment has been identified, the Advisor screens the opportunity and makes a preliminary determination concerning whether to proceed with a more comprehensive deal-level due diligence review.
Pipeline/Risk Update. Upon review of the full deal pipeline, the Advisor raises key risks and issues to determine whether or not an investment meets the Fund Parties’ basic investment criteria and offers an acceptable probability of attractive returns with identifiable downside risk. The objective is for the Advisor to identify a suitable and attractive opportunity for a more comprehensive due diligence review based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the investment.
Deal-level Q&A:After an investment has been identified and preliminary due diligence has been completed, screening memos and a credit research analysis is prepared. These reports are reviewed by the Advisor’s investment committee (the “Investment Committee”), to discuss key diligence and structuring issues. Following the Advisor’s review, the Investment Committee will complete any incremental due diligence prior to formal Investment Committee approval. Though each transaction may involve a somewhat different approach, the Advisor’s diligence of each opportunity could include:
| • | | a full operational analysis to identify the key risks and opportunities of the target’s business, including a detailed review of historical and projected financial results; |
| • | | a detailed analysis of industry dynamics, competitive position, regulatory, tax and legal matters; |
| • | | on-site visits, if deemed necessary; |
| • | | background checks to further evaluate management and other key personnel; |
| • | | a review by legal and accounting professionals, environmental or other industry consultants, if necessary; |
| • | | financial sponsor due diligence, including portfolio company and lender reference checks, if necessary; and |
| • | | a review of management’s experience and track record. |
Execution
Following any incremental due diligence, the Investment Committee is presented with a formal recommendation for approval. Once the Investment Committee has determined that the portfolio company is suitable for investment, the Advisor works with the management team of the prospective company to finalize the structure and terms of the investment. The Fund Parties believe that structuring transactions appropriately is a key factor to producing strong investment results. Accordingly, the Fund Parties will actively consider transaction structures and seek to process and negotiate terms that provide the best opportunities for superior risk-adjusted returns.
Post-Investment Monitoring
Portfolio Monitoring. The Advisor monitors the Fund Parties’ portfolios with a focus toward anticipating negative credit events. To maintain portfolio company performance and help to ensure a successful exit, the Advisor works closely with, as applicable, the lead equity sponsor, loan syndicator, portfolio company management, consultants, advisers and other security holders to discuss financial position, compliance with covenants, financial requirements and execution of the company’s business plan. In addition, depending on the size, nature and performance of the transaction, the Fund Parties may occupy a seat or serve as an observer on a portfolio company’s board of directors or similar governing body.
Typically, the Advisor receives financial reports detailing operating performance, sales volumes, margins, cash flows, financial position and other key operating metrics on a quarterly basis from the Fund Parties’ portfolio companies. The Advisor uses this data, combined with due diligence gained through contact with the company’s customers, suppliers, competitors, market research and other methods, to conduct an ongoing, rigorous assessment of the company’s operating performance and prospects.
208
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in each Fund Party’s portfolio. See “Portfolio Asset Quality” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II or FSIC IV, as applicable, for a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating.
Valuation Process. Each quarter, the Fund Parties value investments in their portfolios, and such values are disclosed each quarter in reports filed with the SEC. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are recorded at such market quotations. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the board of directors of each fund determines the fair value of such investments in good faith, utilizing the input of the fund’s valuation committee, the Advisor and any other professionals or materials that the board of directors of such Fund Party deems relevant, including independent third-party pricing services and independent third-party valuation services, if applicable. See “Valuation of Portfolio Investments” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II and FSIC IV, as applicable.
Managerial Assistance. As a BDCs, the Fund Parties must offer, and provide upon request, managerial assistance to certain of their portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of its portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. Depending on the nature of the assistance required, the Advisor will provide such managerial assistance on such Fund Party’s behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance. To the extent fees are paid for these services, each fund, rather than the Advisor, will retain any fees paid for such assistance.
Exit
While the Fund Parties attempt to invest in securities that may be sold in a privately negotiatedover-the-counter market, providing them a means by which they may exit their positions, the Fund Parties expect that a large portion of their portfolio may not be sold on this secondary market. For any investments that are not able to be sold within this market, the Fund Parties focus primarily on investing in companies whose business models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of the Fund Parties’ investments, an initial public offering of equity securities, a merger, a sale or a recapitalization, in each case with the potential for capital gains.
Employees
The Fund Parties do not currently have any employees. Each of the Fund Parties’ executive officers is a principal, officer or employee of the Advisor or its affiliates, which manages and oversees the Fund Parties’ investment operations. In the future, the Advisor may retain additional investment personnel based upon its needs.
Facilities
The Fund Parties do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to their operation. The Fund Parties’ headquarters are located at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19112. The Fund Parties believe that their office facilities are suitable and adequate for their business as presently conducted.
Legal Proceedings
Neither the Fund Parties nor the Advisor is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to the Fund Parties’ knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Fund Parties or against the Advisor.
From time to time, the Fund Parties and individuals employed by the Advisor may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Fund Parties’ rights under contracts with their respective portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Fund Parties do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations, and FSIC II does not expect that these proceedings would have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company.
209
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND PARTIES
Pursuant to the respective charters and bylaws of the Fund Parties, the Fund Parties’ businesses and affairs are managed under the direction of the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of such Fund Party. The responsibilities of the boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, include, among other things, the oversight of such Fund Party’s investment activities, oversight of such Fund Party’s financing arrangements and corporate governance activities. The boards of directors of the FS Funds also oversee the quarterly valuation of the respective FS Fund’s assets. Each board of directors or trustees, as applicable, has an audit committee, which is comprised of independent directors, a valuation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, and may establish additional committees from time to time as necessary. Although the number of directors or trustees, as applicable, may be increased or decreased, a decrease will not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director or trustee. Any director or trustee may resign at any time and any director may be removed from office at any time only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to cast generally in the election of directors. The notice of the meeting will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director is to be removed.
A vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or trustees, as applicable, or the death, resignation, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director or trustee, as applicable, may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors or trustees in office.

Risk Oversight and Board Structure
Boards’ Role in Risk Oversight
Through its direct oversight role, and indirectly through its committees, the board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of each Fund Party performs a risk oversight function for such Fund Party, consisting of, among other things, the following activities: (1) at regular and special board meetings, and on an ad hoc basis as needed, receiving and reviewing reports related to the performance and operations of the funds; (2) reviewing and approving, as applicable, compliance policies and procedures; (3) meeting with the portfolio management team to review investment strategies, techniques and the processes used to manage related risks; (4) overseeing the investment valuation process via the fund’s valuation committee that operates pursuant to authority assigned to it by the board of directors or trustees, as applicable,; (5) meeting, or reviewing reports prepared by the representatives of key service providers, including the fund’s investment adviser, administrator, distributor, transfer agent, custodian and independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss the fund’s activities and to provide direction with respect thereto; (6) reviewing periodically, and at least annually, the fund’s fidelity bond, directors and officers, and errors and omissions insurance policies and such other insurance policies as may be appropriate; (7) overseeing the fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, including supervision of the fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that they provide timely analyses of significant financial reporting and internal control issues; and (8) overseeing the services of the fund’s chief compliance officer to test its compliance procedures and its service providers.
The boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, of the Fund Parties also perform risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of such Fund Party’s chief compliance officer. The boards of directors or trustees, as applicable, each receive a quarterly report from such Fund Party’s chief compliance officer, who reports on, among other things, such Fund Party’s compliance with applicable securities laws and its internal compliance policies and procedures. In addition, the fund’s chief compliance officer prepares a written report annually evaluating, among other things, the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the fund and certain of its service providers. Each Fund Party’s chief compliance officer’s report, which is reviewed by the applicable board of directors or trustees, as applicable, addresses at a minimum:
220
(1) the operation and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the fund and certain of its service providers since the last report; (2) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (3) any recommendations for changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the fund’s chief compliance officer’s annual review; and (4) any material compliance matters that have occurred since the date of the last report about which the applicable board of directors or trustees, as applicable, would reasonably need to know to oversee such Fund Party’s compliance activities and risks. Each of the Fund Parties’ chief compliance officer also meets separately in executive session with the independent directors of such Fund Party at least once each year. In addition to compliance reports from each fund’s chief compliance officer, the applicable board of directors or trustees, as applicable, of the Fund Parties also receives reports from legal counsel to such Fund Party regarding regulatory compliance and governance matters.
Board Composition and Leadership Structure
FS Funds
Mr. Forman, who is an “interested person” of the FS Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, serves as both the chief executive officer of the FS Funds and chairman of the board of directors of each of the FS Funds. The boards of directors of the FS Funds each believe that Mr. Forman, asco-founder and chief executive officer of the funds, is the director with the most knowledge of the funds’ business strategy and is best situated to serve as chairman of the boards of directors. Each of the charters of the FS Funds, as well as regulations governing BDCs generally, require that a majority of the board of directors be persons other than “interested persons” of the funds, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.
While none of the FS Funds currently have a policy mandating a lead independent director, the boards of directors of the FS Funds each believe that having an independent director fill the lead director role is appropriate. The lead independent director, among other things, works with the chairman of the board in the preparation of the agenda for each board meeting and in determining the need for meetings of the board, chairs any meeting of the independent directors in executive session, facilitates communications between other members of the board and the chairman of the board and/or the chief executive officer and otherwise consults with the chairman of the board and/or the chief executive officer on matters relating to corporate governance and board performance. The lead independent director of each of the FS Funds is currently Michael J. Hagan.
The boards of directors of the FS Funds have each concluded that the structure of its respective board of directors is appropriate given the current size and complexity of such Fund Party and the extensive regulation to which such Fund Party is subject as a BDC.

CCT II’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the CCT II Board. Among other things, the CCT II Board sets broad policies for CCT II and approves the appointment of CCT II’s investment advisors, administrator and officers. The role of the CCT II Board, and of any individual trustee, is one of oversight and not of management of CCT II’sday-to-day affairs.
Under CCT II’s Bylaws, the CCT II Board may designate one of the CCT II trustees as chair to preside over meetings of the CCT II Board and meetings of shareholders, and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him or her by the CCT II Board. CCT II believes that the CCT II Board’s flexibility to determine its chair and reorganize its leadership from time to time is in the best interests of CCT II and its shareholders. Presently, Mr. Builione serves as chairman of the CCT II Board and is an “interested person” by virtue of being CCT II’s chief executive officer and his employment with KKR Credit. CCT II believes that this creates a firm link between management and the CCT II Board and provides unified leadership for carrying out CCT II’s strategic initiatives and business plans. The CCT II Board has determined that the compositions of the audit committee, nominating and governance committee and the CCT II Independent Trustee committee are appropriate means to address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the chair’s status as an interested person of CCT II. The CCT II Board, which reviews its leadership structure periodically as part of its annual self-assessment process, further believes that its structure is presently appropriate to enable it to exercise its oversight of CCT II.
All of the CCT II Independent Trustees play an active role on the CCT II Board. The CCT II Independent Trustees compose a majority of the CCT II Board and will be closely involved in all material deliberations related to CCT II. The CCT II Board believes that, with these practices, each CCT II Independent Trustee has an equal involvement in the actions and oversight role of the CCT II Board and equal accountability to CCT II and its shareholders. The CCT II Independent Trustees are expected to meet separately (i) as part of each regular CCT II Board meeting, and (ii) with CCT II’s chief compliance officer, as part of at least one CCT II Board meeting each year. The CCT II Independent Trustee committee may hold additional meetings at the request of any CCT II Independent Trustee.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers” for a description of the risks associated with a failure to consummate the Mergers and a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the Mergers are consummated.
Overview
FSIC II is externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement and supervised by the FSIC II Board, a majority of whose directors are independent. On April 9, 2018, GSO/Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (“GDFM”) resigned as FSIC II’s investmentsub-adviser and terminated its investmentsub-advisory agreement effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as FSIC II’s investmentsub-adviser, on April 9, 2018, FSIC II entered into the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, which replaced the FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement with FSIC II’s former investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor.
FSIC II’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. FSIC II pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. FSIC II defines direct originations as any investment where the Advisor or its affiliates negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.
FSIC II’s 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 FSIC II does not expect a significant portion of its portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which FSIC II may invest. FSIC II 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 its target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with its debt investments, FSIC II may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s target companies, generally in conjunction with one of FSIC II’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 FSIC II’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor FSIC II’s investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, FSIC II may increase or decrease its exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which FSIC II invests generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that FSIC II makes 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 FSIC II’s portfolio. FSIC II’s debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s, or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). We also invest innon-rated debt securities.
232
Revenues
The principal measure of FSIC II’s 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 appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between FSIC II’s income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and FSIC II’s 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 FSIC II’s 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.
FSIC II principally generates revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments it holds. In addition, FSIC II generates 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. FSIC II may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities it holds.
Expenses
FSIC II’s primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for FSIC II’s operations. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing FSIC II’s investments.
The Advisor oversees FSIC II’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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, FSIC II’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that it is required to maintain and preparing reports for FSIC II’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists FSIC II in calculating its NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to FSIC II by others.
Pursuant to the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement, FSIC II reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC II’s administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to FSIC II on behalf of the Advisor. FSIC II reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC II’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that FSIC II estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to it based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The FSIC II Board reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to it and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among it and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The FSIC II Board 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, the FSIC II Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the FSIC II Board compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of FSIC II’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.
FSIC II bears all other expenses of its operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating to:
| • | | corporate and organization expenses relating to offerings of FSIC II’s securities, subject to limitations included in the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement; |
| • | | the cost of calculating FSIC II’s NAV, including the cost of any third-party pricing or valuation services; |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, such revenues represent $112,669 and $111,382, respectively, of cash income earned as well as $7,270 and $6,320, respectively, innon-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest. Cash flows related to suchnon-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. |
The level of interest income FSIC II receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments, multiplied by the weighted average yield of FSIC II’s investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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 increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the higher invested balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in dividend income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to aone-time dividend paid in respect of one of FSIC II’s investments during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of December 31, 2018, FSIC II had $150,458 in cash and foreign currency, which FSIC II and its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $559,746 in borrowings available under FSIC II’s financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of December 31, 2018, FSIC II also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of December 31, 2018, FSIC II had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $172,963 and an unfunded commitment to purchase up to $47 in shares of preferred stock.
As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II had $110,995 in cash and foreign currency, which FSIC II and its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $339,036 in borrowings available under its financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $159,413 and an unfunded commitment to purchase up to $47 in shares of preferred stock. FSIC II maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
FSIC II currently generates cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments as well as from the issuance of shares under its distribution reinvestment plan (a “DRP”), and principal repayments and proceeds
241
from sales of FSIC II’s investments. To seek to enhance FSIC II’s returns, FSIC II also employs leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of FSIC II’s assets, as required by the 1940 Act.
Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, FSIC II invests the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments and from the issuance of shares under the DRP, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of its 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 FSIC II’s BDC election and FSIC II’s election to be taxed as a RIC.

RIC Status and Distributions
FSIC II has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, FSIC II must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of its “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. FSIC II intends to make sufficient distributions to FSIC II’s stockholders to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year. FSIC II is also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless it makes distributions in a timely manner to its stockholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of FSIC II’s net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of FSIC II’s capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses, or “capital gain net income” (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 FSIC II paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. FSIC II can offer no assurance that it will achieve results that will permit FSIC II to pay any cash distributions. If FSIC II issues senior securities, it will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes FSIC II to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of its borrowings.
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board, FSIC II currently declares cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays regular cash distributions to its stockholders on a monthly basis. FSIC II will
242
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 FSIC II Common Stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, FSIC II may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of FSIC II Common Stock at the discretion of the FSIC II Board. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board.
During certain periods, FSIC II distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to FSIC II’s stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 represented a return of capital.
FSIC II intends to continue to make its 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 FSIC II 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 FSIC II has declared and paid on FSIC II Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |

Critical Accounting Policies
FSIC II’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it 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 FSIC II’s 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 FSIC II’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
FSIC II determines the NAV of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the FSIC II Board. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the FSIC II Board 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.
ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the
243
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, FSIC II undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | FSIC II’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor’s reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the FSIC II Board, or FSIC II’s valuation committee, with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | FSIC II’s valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with FSIC II’s 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 the FSIC II Board approves its fair valuations; and |
| • | | the FSIC II Board discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in FSIC II’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the 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 FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the FSIC II Board may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the FSIC II Board 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the FSIC II Board deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third party valuation services and the FSIC II Board may consider when determining the fair value of its 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, FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s 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.
FSIC II’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The FSIC II Board, 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 FSIC II’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC II Board may also consider private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by
244
third-party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC II Board 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 the FSIC II Board, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of FSIC II’s 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 FSIC II receives 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. The FSIC II Board subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of FSIC II’s investments are determined in good faith by the FSIC II Board. The FSIC II Board is responsible for the valuation of FSIC II’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to FSIC II’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The FSIC II Board has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing FSIC II’s valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the FSIC II Board. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
See Note 8 to FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of its financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. FSIC II records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expect to collect such amounts. FSIC II records dividend income on theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company and limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. FSIC II does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it have reason to doubt its ability to collect such income. FSIC II’s policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. FSIC II 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 FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s judgment.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and FSIC II 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, FSIC II recognized $6,105 in structuring fee revenue. FSIC II records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
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. FSIC II measures 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.
245
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
FSIC II evaluates its 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 FSIC II’s 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. FSIC II recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, FSIC II did not incur any interest or penalties.
Derivative Instruments
FSIC II’s derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps. FSIC II recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in FSIC II’s consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by FSIC II are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, FSIC II presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Contractual Obligations
FSIC II has entered into an agreement with the Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the FSIC II Investment Advisory Agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of FSIC II’s gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on FSIC II’s performance. The Advisor is reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on FSIC II’s behalf. See Note 4 to FSIC II’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of this agreement and for the amount of fees and expense accrued under similar agreements with FSIC II Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
A summary of FSIC II’s significant contractual payment obligations related to the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness at March 31, 2019 is as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13,Fair Value Measurement-Disclosures Framework-Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. FSIC II is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
FSIC II is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 84.0% of FSIC II’s portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 10.4% were debt investments paying fixed interest rates, while 1.0% were other income producing investments, 4.2% were ofnon-income producing investments and the remaining 0.4% consisting of investments onnon-accrual status. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments FSIC II holds and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments FSIC II holds. However, many of FSIC II’s variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent FSIC II’s interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of FSIC II’s investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for FSIC II to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, and may result in a substantial increase in FSIC II’s net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to FSIC II’s increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income.
Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, FSIC II may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. Although hedging activities may insulate FSIC II against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit FSIC II’s ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II has fourpay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps which FSIC II pays an annual fixed rate of 2.59% to 2.81% and receives three-month LIBOR on an aggregate notional amount of $360 million. The interest rate swaps have quarterly settlement payments.
Pursuant to the terms of all of FSIC II’s financing arrangements, borrowings are at a floating rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that FSIC II or any of its subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, FSIC II will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when FSIC II or its subsidiaries have such debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, FSIC II’s interest expense would increase, which could reduce its net investment income, especially to the extent it holds fixed rate investments.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on FSIC II’s interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of FSIC II’s investment portfolio, including the accrual status of FSIC II’s investments, and FSIC II’s financing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2019 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

FSIC II expects that its long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, FSIC II may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize its 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 FSIC II’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, FSIC II may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FSICII-Critical Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION III
The information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Many of the amounts and percentages presented in this section have been rounded for convenience of presentation and all amounts are presented in thousands (unless otherwise indicated), except share and per share amounts.
FSIC III cannot assure you that the Mergers will be consummated as scheduled, or at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers” for a description of the risks associated with a failure to consummate the Mergers and a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the Mergers are consummated.
Overview
FSIC III was incorporated under the MGCL on June 7, 2013 and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. FSIC III is 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.
FSIC III is externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to the FSIC III Investment Advisory Agreement and supervised by the FSIC III Board, a majority of whom are independent.
On April 9, 2018, GDFM resigned as FSIC IV’s investmentsub-adviser and terminated its investmentsub-advisory agreement effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as FSIC IV’s investmentsub-adviser, on April 9, 2018, FSIC IV entered into the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, which replaced the an investment advisory and administrative services agreement (the “FSIC IV Former Investment Advisory Agreement”) with FSIC IV’s former investment adviser, FSIC IV Advisor.
FSIC III’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. FSIC III pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. FSIC III defines direct originations as any investment where the Advisor or its affiliates negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.
FSIC III’s 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 FSIC III does not expect a significant portion of its portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which FSIC III may invest. FSIC III 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 its target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with its debt investments, FSIC III may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. FSIC III 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 FSIC III’s target companies, generally in conjunction with one of FSIC III’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 FSIC II’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor FSIC III’s investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, FSIC III may increase or decrease its exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which FSIC III invests generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that FSIC III makes generally have stated terms of up to
248
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 FSIC III’s portfolio. FSIC III’s debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s, or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). We also invest innon-rated debt securities.
Revenues
The principal measure of FSIC III’s 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 realized gain or loss on total return swap, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net unrealized appreciation gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap.
Net investment income is the difference between FSIC III’s income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and FSIC III’s 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 realized gain or loss on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the total return swap. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of FSIC III’s 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. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap is the net change in the fair value of the total return swap.
FSIC III principally generates revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments it holds. In addition, FSIC III generates 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. FSIC III may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities it holds.
Expenses
FSIC III’s primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the FSIC III Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for FSIC III’s operations. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing FSIC III’s investments.
The Advisor oversees FSIC III’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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, FSIC III’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that it is required to maintain and preparing reports for FSIC III’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists FSIC III in calculating its NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to FSIC III by others.
Pursuant to the FSIC III Investment Advisory Agreement, FSIC III reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC III’s administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to FSIC III on behalf of the Advisor. FSIC III reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC III’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that FSIC III estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to it based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The FSIC III Board reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to it and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among it and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The FSIC III Board 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, the FSIC III Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at
249
comparable cost and quality. Finally, the FSIC III Board compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of FSIC III’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.
FSIC III bears all other expenses of its operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing services for FSIC II and administrative personnel paid by FS Investments and KKR Credit.
In addition, FSIC III has 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 the Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by FSIC III and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

Based on FSIC III’s regular monthly cash distribution amount of $0.058331 per share as of March 31, 2019 and FSIC III’s distribution reinvestment price of $7.75 per share, the annualized distribution rate to stockholders as of March 31, 2019 was 9.03%. The annualized distribution rate to stockholders is expressed as a percentage equal to the projected annualized distribution amount per share divided by FSIC III’s distribution reinvestment price per share. FSIC III’s annualized distribution rate to stockholders may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors’ capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, FSIC III’s total return was 2.54% and FSIC III’s total return without assuming reinvestment of distributions was 2.50%.

Portfolio Composition by Industry Classification
See Note 6 to FSIC III’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the composition of FSIC III’s investment portfolio by industry classification.
Portfolio Asset Quality
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in FSIC III’s portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 4. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
| | |
Investment Rating | | Summary Description |
1 | | Performing investment—generally executing in accordance with plan and there are no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements. |
| |
2 | | Performing investment—no concern about repayment of both interest and FSIC III’s cost basis but company’s recent performance or trends in the industry require closer monitoring. |
| |
3 | | Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment. |
| |
4 | | Underperforming investment—concerns about the recoverability of principal or interest. |
252
The following table shows the distribution of FSIC III’s investments on the 1 to 4 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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 FSIC III’s expectation of performance and changes in investment values.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
FSIC III’s investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | Amount | | | Percentage of Total Income | | | Amount | | | Percentage of Total Income | |

Total investment income(1) | | $ | 97,790 | | | | 100 | % | | $ | 83,816 | | | | 100 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, such revenues represent $91,143 and $76,581, respectively, of cash income earned as well as $6,647 and $7,235, respectively, innon-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest. Cash flows related to suchnon-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. |
The level of interest income FSIC III receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of FSIC III’s investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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 increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the higher average invested balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase in fee income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the increase of origination activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | Such revenues represent $316,601, $337,578 and $303,049 of cash income earned as well as $33,659, $31,112 and $25,972 innon-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash flows related to suchnon-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. |
The level of interest income FSIC III receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of FSIC III’s investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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 decrease in interest income during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 can be primarily attributed to the prepayment of certain higher yielding assets. The decrease in fee income during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to the decrease in structuring activity during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017.
The increase in the amount of interest income and fee income during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to fees associated with the prepayment of several large investments and the acceleration of original issue discount.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on FSIC III’s investments, TRS and swap contracts was driven by increased general depreciation across the portfolio.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on FSIC III’s investments, TRS and secured borrowing was primarily driven by reduced valuations in certain equity investments along with increased depreciation across several of FSIC III’s syndicated debt investments.

In addition, as of March 31, 2019, FSIC III had $26,842 in capacity available under the total return swap and $553,270 in borrowings available under its financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC III also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC III had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $110,981 and unfunded equity commitments of $47. FSIC III maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
FSIC III currently generates cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments as well as from the issuance of shares under the DRP, and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of FSIC III’s investments. To seek to enhance FSIC III’s returns, FSIC III also employs leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of FSIC III’s assets, as required by the 1940 Act.
Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, FSIC III invests the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments and from the issuance of shares under the DRP, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of its 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 FSIC III’s BDC election and FSIC III’s election to be taxed as a RIC.

RIC Status and Distributions
FSIC III has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, FSIC III must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of its “investment company
258
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. FSIC III intends to make sufficient distributions to FSIC III’s stockholders to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year. FSIC III is also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless it makes distributions in a timely manner to its stockholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of FSIC III’s net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of FSIC III’s capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses, or “capital gain net income” (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 FSIC III paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by FSIC III 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 FSIC III’s U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. FSIC III can offer no assurance that it will achieve results that will permit FSIC III to pay any cash distributions. If FSIC III issues senior securities, it will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes FSIC III to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of its borrowings.
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC III Board, FSIC III currently declares cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays regular cash distributions to its stockholders on a monthly basis. FSIC III 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 FSIC III Common Stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, FSIC III may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of FSIC III Common Stock at the discretion of the FSIC III Board. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC III Board.
During certain periods, FSIC III distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC III 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 FSIC III’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to FSIC III stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 represented a return of capital.
FSIC III intends to continue to make its regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in the form of shares of FSIC III 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 FSIC III has declared and paid on FSIC III Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |

Critical Accounting Policies
FSIC III’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it 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
259
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 FSIC III’s 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 FSIC III’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As FSIC III executes its operating plans, it will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to its future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments.
FSIC III determines the fair value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the FSIC III Board. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the FSIC III Board 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.
ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“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, FSIC III undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | FSIC III’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the FSIC III Board with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | the FSIC III valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with FSIC III’s 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 the FSIC III Board approves its fair valuations; and |
| • | | the FSIC III Board discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in FSIC III’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the 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 FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the FSIC III Board may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the FSIC III Board 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the FSIC III Board deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third party valuation services and the FSIC III Board may consider when determining the fair value of its 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
260
relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, FSIC III 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 FSIC III’s 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.
FSIC III’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The FSIC III Board, 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 FSIC III’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC III Board 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC III Board 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 the FSIC III Board, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of FSIC III’s 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 FSIC III receives 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. The FSIC III Board subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of FSIC III’s investments are determined in good faith by the FSIC III Board. The FSIC III Board is responsible for the valuation of FSIC III’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to FSIC III’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The FSIC III Board has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing FSIC III’s valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the FSIC III Board. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
See Note 8 to FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the fair value of FSIC III’s financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments
FSIC III recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by FSIC III are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, FSIC III presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2018, FSIC III’s instruments included interest rate swaps.
Revenue Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. FSIC III records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expect to collect such amounts. FSIC III records dividend income on theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company and limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. FSIC III does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it have reason to doubt its ability to collect such income. FSIC III’s policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when
261
there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. FSIC III 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 FSIC III 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 FSIC III’s judgment.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and FSIC III 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. FSIC III records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Effective January 1, 2018, FSIC III adopted ASC 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. FSIC III did not identify anyin-scope contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption and, as a result, FSIC III 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 FSIC III 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, 2019, FSIC III recognized $6,095 in structuring fee revenue under the new revenue recognition guidance and included such revenue in the fee income line item on FSIC III’s consolidated statement of operations. Comparative periods are presented in accordance with revenue recognition guidance effective prior to January 1, 2018, under which FSIC III recorded structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees as income when earned. FSIC III has determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the amount of revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
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. FSIC III measures 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.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
FSIC III evaluates its 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 FSIC III’s 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. FSIC III recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, FSIC III did not incur any interest or penalties.

See Note 2 to FSIC III’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding FSIC III’s significant accounting policies.
Contractual Obligations
FSIC III has entered into an agreement with the Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the FSIC III Investment Advisory Agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of FSIC III’s gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on FSIC III’s performance. The Advisor is reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on FSIC III’s behalf. See Note 4 to FSIC III’s consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of this agreement and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under similar agreements with FSIC III Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
A summary of FSIC III’s significant contractual payment obligations related to the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness at March 31, 2019 is as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FSIC III currently has nooff-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13, Fair Value Measurement-Disclosures Framework-Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. FSIC III is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
FSIC III is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 78.0% of FSIC III’s portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 19.5% were debt
263
investments paying fixed interest rates, while 0.0% were other income producing investments, 1.8% were ofnon-income producing investments and the remaining 0.7% consisting of investments onnon-accrual status. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments FSIC III holds and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments FSIC III holds. However, many of FSIC III’s variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent FSIC III’s interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of FSIC III’s investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for FSIC III to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, and may result in a substantial increase in FSIC III’s net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to FSIC III’s increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income.
Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, FSIC III may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. Although hedging activities may insulate FSIC III against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit FSIC III’s ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC III has fourpay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps which FSIC III pays an annual fixed rate of 2.59% to 2.81% and receives three-month LIBOR on an aggregate notional amount of $540 million. The interest rate swaps have quarterly settlement payments.
Pursuant to the terms of the total return swap between Center City Funding and Citibank, Center City Funding pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the total return swap in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a pool of loans having a maximum notional amount of $150,000. Pursuant to the terms of the BNP facility, Deutsche Bank credit facility, JPM credit facility and Goldman facility, borrowings are at a floating rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that FSIC III or any of its subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, FSIC III will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when FSIC III or its subsidiaries have such debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, FSIC III’s interest expense would increase, which could reduce its net investment income, especially to the extent it holds fixed rate investments.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on FSIC III’s interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of FSIC III’s investment portfolio, including the accrual status of FSIC III’s investments, and FSIC III’s financing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2019 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

(1) | Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months. Includes the net effect of the change in interest rates on the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the total return swap. Pursuant to the total return swap, Center City Funding receives from Citibank all interest payable in respect of the loans included in the total return swap and pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the total return swap. As of March 31, 2019, all of the loans underlying the total return swap (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates. |
FSIC III expects that its long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, FSIC III may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize its 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 FSIC III’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, FSIC III may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FSICIII-Critical Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST II
Overview
CCT II is anon-diversified,closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated 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. CCT II commenced operations on March 1, 2016 when CCT II satisfied CCT II’s minimum offering requirement. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014, CCT II was externally CNL Fund Advisors II, LLC, as investment adviser (“CNL”) and KKR Credit, as investmentsub-adviser (together with CNL, “CCT II’s Former Advisors”) through April 8, 2018 under the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement and the CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement.
On April 9, 2018, CCT II entered into the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. The CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement replaced the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement with KKR and CNL. In addition, CCT II entered into the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement, which replaced the CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement between CCT II and CNL.
Through April 8, 2018, CCT II’s Former Advisors were, and commencing April 9, 2018, CCT II’s Advisor is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, determining the securities and other assets that CCT II purchases, retains or sells and monitoring CCT II’s portfolio on an ongoing basis, as well as providing the administrative services necessary for CCT II to operate. CCT II’s Former Advisors were, and CCT II’s Advisor is, registered as investment advisers with the SEC.
CCT II’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. CCT II pursues CCT II’s investment objectives by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. CCT II define direct originations as any investment where the Advisor or its affiliates negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.
CCT II’s 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 CCT II does not expect a significant portion of CCT II’s portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which CCT II may invest. CCT II may purchase interests in loans or make other debt investments, including investments in senior secured bonds, through secondary market transactions in the OTC market or directly from CCT II’s target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with CCT II’s debt investments, CCT II may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. CCT II 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 CCT II’s target companies, generally in conjunction with one of CCT II’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 CCT II’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor CCT II’s investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, CCT II may increase or decrease CCT II’s exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in which CCT II invests generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that CCT II 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 CCT II’s portfolio. CCT II’s debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). CCT II also invests innon-rated debt securities.
265
Revenues
The principal measure of CCT II’s 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 CCT II’s income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and CCT II’s 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 CCT II’s 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.
CCT II principally generates revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments CCT II holds. In addition, CCT II may 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. CCT II may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities CCT II holds.
Expenses
CCT II’s primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for CCT II’s operations. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing CCT II’s investments.
The Advisor oversees CCT II’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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, CCT II’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that CCT II is required to maintain and preparing reports for CCT II’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists CCT II in calculating CCT II’s NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to CCT II’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of CCT II’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to CCT II by others.
Pursuant to the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement, CCT II reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to CCT II’s administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to CCT II on behalf of the Advisor. CCT II reimburses the Advisor quarterly for expenses necessary to perform services related to CCT II’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that CCT II estimates CCT II would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to CCT II based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. CCT II’s board of trustees reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to CCT II and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among CCT II and certain affiliates of the Advisor and assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements.
CCT II bears all other expenses of CCT II’s operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing services for CCT II and administrative personnel paid by FS Investments and KKR Credit.
In addition, CCT II has 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 the Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by CCT II and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

Portfolio Composition by Industry Classification
See Note 6 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the composition of CCT II’s investment portfolio by industry classification.
Portfolio Asset Quality
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in CCT II’s portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 4. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
| | |
Investment Rating | | Summary Description |
1 | | Performing investment—generally executing in accordance with plan and there are no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements. |
| |
2 | | Performing investment—no concern about repayment of both interest and CCT II’s cost basis but company’s recent performance or trends in the industry require closer monitoring. |
| |
3 | | Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment. |
| |
4 | | Underperforming investment—concerns about the recoverability of principal or interest. |

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 CCT II’s expectation of performance and changes in investment values.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018
Revenues
CCT II’s investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | Amount | | | Percentage of Total Income | | | Amount | | | Percentage of Total Income | |
Interest income | | $ | 4,125 | | | | 94.6 | % | | $ | 3,399 | | | | 98.5 | % |
Fee income | | | 220 | | | | 5.0 | % | | | 42 | | | | 1.2 | % |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The level of interest income CCT II receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments, multiplied by the weighted average yield of CCT II’s investments. Fee income is transaction-based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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 increase in income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 can primarily be attributed to the increase in average investments held in CCT II’s portfolio, along with higher yielding assets, resulting in increased interest income as well as the increase of structuring and upfront fees during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, CCT II had approximately $2,445 in cash and foreign currency and $6,364 in borrowings available under CCT II’s revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. Proceeds from sales of investments and principal payments totaled $10,178 and $1,900, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, CCT II had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $2,753 and unfunded equity commitments of $7,920. CCT II maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
CCT II’s capital resources and liquidity are primarily derived from (i) cash flows from operations, including sales and repayments, (ii) CCT II’s distribution reinvestment plan and (iii) borrowings under CCT II’s credit facility. CCR II’s primary uses of funds include (i) investments in portfolio companies, (ii) distributions to CCT II’s shareholders, (iii) repurchases under CCT II’s share repurchase program, (iv) interest payments on borrowings under CCT II’s credit facility and (v) operating expenses. CCT II expects to use proceeds from the sales and repayments of CCT II’s investment portfolio and proceeds from borrowings under CCT II’s credit facility to finance CCT II’s investment activities at CCT II’s discretion.

Financing Arrangements
On July 14, 2017, CCT II entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), consisting of loans to be made in dollars and other foreign currencies in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $70,000. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on July 14, 2019 (the “Revolver Termination Date”), and the outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on July 14, 2020. On June 11, 2018, CCT II entered into an incremental commitment agreement with ING Capital LLC to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $82,000.
The Revolving Credit Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events during theterm-out period commencing on the Revolver Termination Date. The stated borrowing rate under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR or with respect to borrowings in foreign currencies on a base rate applicable to such currency borrowings plus an applicable spread of 2.75%, or on an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility includes an “accordion” feature that allows CCT II, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $200,000. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, CCT II has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, CCT II borrowed approximately $9,117 and repaid approximately $7,093 on CCT II’s Revolving Credit Facility. CCT II has and will continue to use proceeds from borrowings to make investments in portfolio companies.
See Note 9 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for additional information regarding CCT II’s financing arrangements.
RIC Status and Distributions
CCT II has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, CCT II must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of CCT II’s 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. CCT II intends to make sufficient distributions to CCT II’s shareholders to qualify for and maintain CCT II’s RIC tax status each tax year. CCT II is also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless CCT II makes distributions in a timely manner to CCT II’s shareholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of CCT II’s net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of CCT II’s capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses, or “capital gain net income” (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 CCT II paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by CCT II during October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to shareholders 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 CCT II, as well as received by CCT II’s shareholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. CCT II can offer no assurance that CCT II will achieve results that will permit CCT II to pay any cash distributions. If CCT II issues senior securities, CCT II will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes CCT II to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of CCT II’s borrowings.
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of CCT II’s board of trustees, CCT II intends to authorize, declare and pay regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis. CCT II will calculate each shareholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each shareholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date that shares of CCT II’s common stock are issued to such shareholder. From time to time, CCT II may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of CCT II’s common stock at the discretion of CCT II’s board of trustees.
During certain periods, CCT II’s distributions may exceed CCT II’s earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions CCT II makes may represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a shareholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from CCT II’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to CCT II’s shareholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018 represented a return of capital.
274
CCT II intends to continue to make CCT II’s regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those shareholders who receive their distributions in the form of shares of CCT II’s common stock under the DRP. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. shareholder.
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share and the total amount of distributions that CCT II has declared on CCT II’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |
For the Three Months Ended | | Per Share | | | Amount | |

See Note 5 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for additional information regarding CCT II’s distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies
CCT II’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires CCT II 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 CCT II’s 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 CCT II’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As CCT II executes CCT II’s operating plans, CCT II will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to CCT II’s future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
CCT II determines the fair value of CCT II’s investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by CCT II’s board of trustees. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides CCT II’s board of trustees 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, CCT II undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | CCT II’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service, and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the audit committee with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
275
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the audit committee; |
| • | | CCT II’s audit committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with CCT II’s independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, supplement the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the audit committee; |
| • | | following its review, the audit committee will recommend that CCT II’s board of trustees approve CCT II’s fair valuations; and |
| • | | CCT II’s board of trustees discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in CCT II’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the Advisor, the audit committee and any independent third-party valuation services, if applicable. |
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to CCT II’s financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on CCT II’s financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, CCT II’s board of trustees may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, CCT II’s board of trustees 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that CCT II’s board of trustees deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and CCT II’s board of trustees may consider when determining the fair value of CCT II’s 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, CCT II 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 CCT II’s 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.
CCT II’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. CCT II’s board of trustees, 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 CCT II’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and CCT II’s board of trustees 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and CCT II’s board of trustees 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 CCT II’s board of trustees, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of CCT II’s 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 CCT II receives 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. CCT II’s board of trustees subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of CCT II’s investments are determined in good faith by CCT II’s board of trustees. CCT II’s board of trustees is responsible for the valuation of CCT II’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to
276
CCT II’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. CCT II’s board of trustees has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing CCT II’s valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by CCT II’s board of trustees. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
See Note 8 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of CCT II’s financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. CCT II records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that CCT II expects to collect such amounts. CCT II records dividend income on theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company and limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. CCT II does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if CCT II has reason to doubt CCT II’s ability to collect such income. CCT II’s policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. CCT II 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 CCT II 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 CCT II’s judgment.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and CCT II 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, CCT II recognized $194 in structuring fee revenue. CCT II records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when CCT II receives such amounts.
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. CCT II measures 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.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
CCT II evaluates CCT II’s 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 CCT II’s 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. CCT II recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in CCT II’s statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, CCT II did not incur any interest or penalties.
Derivative Instruments
CCT II’s derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts. CCT II recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in CCT II’s financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by CCT II are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, CCT II presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the statements of operations.
277
See Note 2 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for additional information regarding CCT II’s significant accounting policies.
Contractual Obligations
CCT II has entered into agreements with the Advisor to provide CCT II with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average value of CCT II’s gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) and (b) an incentive fee based on CCT II’s performance. The Advisor is reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on CCT II’s behalf. See Note 4 to CCT II’s unaudited financial statements included herein for a discussion of these agreements and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under these agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
As of March 31, 2019, the principal amount outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $75,636. Of the $75,636 principal outstanding as of March 31, 2019, approximately $748, $3,691 and $547 were denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and British pound sterling, respectively. The amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable on July 14, 2020, the maturity date. As of March 31, 2019, $6,364 remained unused under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CCT II had nooff-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. CCT II is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on CCT II’s financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
CCT II is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 76.7% of CCT II’s portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 18.8% were debt investments paying fixed interest rates while 4.3% were other income producing investments, and the remaining 0.2% consisted ofnon-income producing 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 CCT II holds and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments CCT II holds. However, many of CCT II’s variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent CCT II’s interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of CCT II’s investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for CCT II to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, and may result in a substantial increase in CCT II net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to CCT II’s increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on CCT II’s interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of CCT II’s investment portfolio, including the accrual status of CCT II’s investments, and CCT II’s financing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2019 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

CCT II expects that its long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, CCT II may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize its 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 CCT II’s business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 CCT II did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.
Foreign Currency Risk
From time to time, CCT II may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each such investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future fair values and cash flows, as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in CCT II’s financial statements.
The table below presents the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rates (i.e. strengthening of the U.S. dollar) would have on the fair value of CCT II’s investments denominated in foreign currencies as of March 31, 2019, by foreign currency, all other valuation assumptions remaining constant. In addition, the table below presents the cost of CCT II’s investments denominated in foreign currencies and the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts in local currency in place as of March 31, 2019 to hedge against foreign currency risks.

As illustrated in the table above, CCT II uses derivative instruments from time to time, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, CCT II has the ability to borrow in foreign currencies under CCT II’s Revolving Credit Facility, which provides a natural hedge with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduces CCT II’s exposure to foreign exchange rate differences. CCT II is typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies as related to its international investment positions, and, as a result, CCT II’s investments denominated in foreign currencies, to the extent not hedged, benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar.
As of March 31, 2019, the net contractual amount of CCT II’s foreign currency forward contracts totaled $4,410, all of which related to hedging of CCT II’s foreign currency denominated debt investments. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $748, $3,691 and $547 of CCT II’s outstanding borrowings under CCT II’s Revolving Credit Facility were denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and British pound sterling, respectively.
In addition, CCT II may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CCT II—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OF FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION IV
The information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Many of the amounts and percentages presented in this section have been rounded for convenience of presentation and all amounts are presented in thousands (unless otherwise indicated), except share and per share amounts.
FSIC IV cannot assure you that the Mergers will be consummated as scheduled, or at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mergers” for a description of the risks associated with a failure to consummate the Mergers and a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the Mergers are consummated.
Overview
FSIC IV was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on February 25, 2015 and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. FSIC IV is 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. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement, FSIC IV had no operations except for matters relating to FSIC IV’s organization. In November 2017, FSIC IV closed its continuous public offering of shares of common stock to new investors.
FSIC IV is externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement and supervised by the FSIC IV Board, a majority of whom are independent.
On April 9, 2018, GDFM resigned as FSIC IV’s investmentsub-adviser and terminated its investmentsub-advisory agreement effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as FSIC IV’s investmentsub-adviser, on April 9, 2018, FSIC IV entered into the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, which replaced the FSIC IV investment advisory and administrative services agreement with its former investment adviser, FSIC IV Advisor, LLC.
FSIC IV’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. FSIC IV pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in the debt of middle market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. FSIC IV defines direct originations as any investment where the Advisor or its affiliates negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.
FSIC IV’s 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 FSIC IV does not expect a significant portion of its portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which FSIC IV may invest. FSIC IV may purchase interests in loans or make other debt investments, including investments in other senior secured debt, through secondary market transactions in the“over-the-counter” market or directly from FSIC IV’s target companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection with its debt investments, FSIC IV may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV’s target companies, generally in conjunction with one of FSIC IV’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 FSIC IV’s portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor FSIC IV’s investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, FSIC IV may increase or decrease its exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure or otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower valuation than deemed warranted by the Advisor’s fundamental analysis, which may occur due to 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 and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured products.
280
The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and other senior secured debt in which FSIC IV invests generally have stated terms of three to seven years and subordinated debt investments that FSIC IV makes 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 FSIC IV’s portfolio. FSIC IV’s debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case, generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s or lower than“BBB-” by S&P). FSIC IV also invests innon-rated debt securities.
Revenues
The principal measure of FSIC IV’s financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on total return swap, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap and net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between FSIC IV’s income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and FSIC IV’s 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 total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the total return swap. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currencies fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of FSIC IV’s investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swap is the net change in the fair value of the total return swap. 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.
FSIC IV principally generates revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments it holds. In addition, FSIC IV generates 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. FSIC IV may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity/other securities it holds.
Expenses
FSIC IV’s primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for FSIC IV’s operations. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing FSIC IV’s investments.
The Advisor oversees FSIC IV’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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, FSIC IV’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that FSIC IV is required to maintain and preparing reports for FSIC IV’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists FSIC IV in calculating its NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to FSIC IV by others.
Pursuant to the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement, FSIC IV reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC IV’s administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing administrative services to FSIC IV on behalf of the Advisor. FSIC IV reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to FSIC IV’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that FSIC IV estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to it based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. FSIC IV’s board of directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to it and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among it and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The FSIC IV Board 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 it of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the FSIC IV Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at
281
comparable cost and quality. Finally, the FSIC IV Board compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of FSIC IV’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.
FSIC IV bears all other expenses of FSIC IV’s operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing services for FSIC IV and administrative personnel paid by FS Investments and KKR Credit.
In addition, FSIC IV has 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 the Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by FSIC IV and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

See Note 6 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the composition of FSIC IV’s investment portfolio by industry classification.
Portfolio Asset Quality
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in FSIC IV’s portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 4. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
| | |
Investment Rating | | Summary Description |
1 | | Performing investment—generally executing in accordance with plan and there are no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements. |
| |
2 | | Performing investment—no concern about repayment of both interest and FSIC IV’s cost basis but company’s recent performance or trends in the industry require closer monitoring. |
| |
3 | | Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment. |
| |
4 | | Underperforming investment—concerns about the recoverability of principal or interest. |
284
The following table shows the distribution of FSIC IV’s investments on the 1 to 4 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

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 FSIC IV’s expectation of performance and changes in investment values.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
FSIC IV’s investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

(1) | Such revenues represent $8,048 and $6,031 of cash income earned as well as $551 and $382 innon-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash flows related to suchnon-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized. |
The level of interest income FSIC IV receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of FSIC IV’s investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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 increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the higher average invested balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase in fee income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the increase of origination activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 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 level of interest income FSIC III receives is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of FSIC IV’s investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring 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.

Expense Reimbursement
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, FSIC IV did not accrue any amounts for expense reimbursements. During the period from January 6, 2016 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2016, FSIC IV accrued $666 for expense reimbursements that FS Investments agreed to pay.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of December 31, 2018, FSIC IV had $16,765 in cash and foreign currency, which FSIC IV or its wholly owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $67,529 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the total return swap. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, FSIC IV had $3,935 in capacity available under the total return swap and $15,000 in borrowings available under its other financing arrangement, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of December 31, 2018, FSIC IV also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of December 31, 2018, FSIC IV had seven debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $2,769.
As of March 31, 2019, FSIC IV had $4,044 in cash and foreign currency, which FSIC IV or its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $62,071 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the total return swap. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, FSIC IV had $18,341 in capacity available under the total return swap and $17,500 in borrowings available under its other financing arrangement, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC IV also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2019, FSIC IV had eight debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $4,348. FSIC IV maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
FSIC IV currently generates cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments, as well as from the issuance of shares under the DRP, and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of FSIC IV’s investments. To seek to enhance FSIC IV’s returns, FSIC IV also employs leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of FSIC IV’s assets, as required by the 1940 Act.
Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, FSIC IV invests the cash received from fees, interest and dividends earned from its investments and from the issuance of shares under the DRP, as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of its 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 FSIC IV’s BDC election and FSIC IV’s election to be taxed as a RIC.
Financing Arrangements
The following table presents summary information with respect to FSIC IV’s outstanding financing arrangements as of March 31, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(2) | As described in Note 8 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, this facility generally is terminable upon 270 days’ notice by either party. As of March 31, 2019, neither party to the facility had provided notice of its intent to terminate the facility. |
(3) | The total return swap may be terminated by Cheltenham Funding at any time, subject to payment of an early termination fee if prior to the date 30 days before July 19, 2019 (April 19, 2019 as of March 31, 2019), or by Citibank on or after July 19, 2019 (April 19, 2019 as of March 31, 2019), in each case, in whole or in part, upon prior written notice to the other party. |
For additional information regarding FSIC IV’s financing arrangements, see Note 8 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
RIC Status and Distributions
FSIC IV has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, FSIC IV must, among other things, make distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of its investment company
290
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. FSIC IV intends to make sufficient distributions to its stockholders to qualify for and maintain FSIC IV’s RIC tax status each tax year. FSIC IV is also subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise taxes on certain undistributed income unless it make distributions in a timely manner to its stockholders generally of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of FSIC IV’s net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of FSIC IV’s capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of capital losses or “capital gain net income” (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 FSIC IV paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV, as well as received by FSIC IV’s U.S. stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. FSIC IV can offer no assurance that FSIC IV will achieve results that will permit FSIC IV to pay any cash distributions. If FSIC IV issues senior securities, it will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes FSIC IV to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of its borrowings.
FSIC IV’s first distribution was declared for stockholders of record as of January 12, 2016. Prior to the closing of FSIC IV’s continuous public offering in November 2017, FSIC IV declared regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and paid such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, as determined on a weekly basis. Effective November 29, 2017, and subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC IV Board, FSIC IV declares regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, as determined on a monthly basis. FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV accepts such stockholder’s subscription for shares of its common stock. From time to time, FSIC IV may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of its common stock at the discretion of the FSIC IV Board. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC IV Board.
During certain periods, FSIC IV distributions may exceed FSIC IV’s earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to FSIC IV stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by the Advisor.
FSIC IV intends to continue to make its regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in the form of shares of FSIC IV’s 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 FSIC IV has declared on FSIC IV common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution(1) | |

Critical Accounting Policies
FSIC IV’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it 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 FSIC IV’s 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 FSIC IV’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As FSIC IV executes its operating plans, it will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to its future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
FSIC IV determines the fair value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the FSIC IV Board. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the FSIC IV Board 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.
ASC 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, FSIC IV undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | FSIC IV’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the FSIC IV Board with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | The FSIC IV valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with FSIC IV’s 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 the FSIC IV Board approve FSIC IV’s fair valuations; and |
| • | | the FSIC IV Board discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in the FSIC IV portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the 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 FSIC IV’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on FSIC IV’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the FSIC Board may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the FSIC IV Board is not required to determine
292
fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information obtained from the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the FSIC IV Board deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC IV Board may consider when determining the fair value of its 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, FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV’s 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.
FSIC IV’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The FSIC IV Board, 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 FSIC IV’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC IV Board 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the FSIC IV Board 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 the FSIC IV Board, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of FSIC IV’s 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 FSIC IV receives 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. The FSIC IV Board subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of FSIC IV’s investments are determined in good faith by the FSIC IV Board. The FSIC IV Board is responsible for the valuation of FSIC IV’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to its valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The FSIC IV Board has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing FSIC IV’s valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the FSIC IV Board. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
See Note 7 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the fair value of FSIC IV’s financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. FSIC IV records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expects to collect such amounts. FSIC IV records dividend income on theex-dividend date. Distributions received from a limited liability company and limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. FSIC IV 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. FSIC IV’s policy is to place investments onnon-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. FSIC IV considers many factors relevant to an investment when
293
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 FSIC IV 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 FSIC IV’s judgment.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and FSIC IV 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, FSIC IV recognized $568 in structuring fee revenue. FSIC IV records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when FSIC IV receives such amounts.
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. FSIC IV measures 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.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
FSIC IV evaluates its 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 FSIC IV’s 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. FSIC IV recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in FSIC IV’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, FSIC IV did not incur any interest or penalties.
See Note 2 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for additional information regarding FSIC IV’s significant accounting policies.
Contractual Obligations
FSIC IV has entered into an agreement with the Advisor to provide FSIC IV with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of FSIC IV’s gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on FSIC IV’s performance. The Advisor is reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on FSIC IV’s behalf. See Note 4 to FSIC IV’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of this agreement and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under similar agreements with FSIC IV Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
A summary of FSIC IV’s significant contractual payment obligations related to the repayment of FSIC IV’s outstanding indebtedness at March 31, 2019 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Payments Due By Period | |
| | Maturity Date(1) | | | Total | | | Less than 1 year | | | 1 – 3 years | | | 3 – 5 years | | | More than 5 years | |

(1) | Amounts outstanding will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on the maturity date. |
294
(2) | At March 31, 2019, $17,500 remained unused under the BNP Facility. The BNP Facility generally is terminable upon 270 days’ notice by either party. As of March 31, 2019, neither Broomall Funding nor BNPP had provided notice of its intent to terminate the facility. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FSIC IV currently has nooff-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13, Fair Value Measurement—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. FSIC IV is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
FSIC IV is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 70.7% of FSIC IV’s portfolio investments (based on fair value) were debt investments paying variable interest rates and 28.7% were debt investments paying fixed interest rates while 0.0% were other income producing investments and 0.6% consisted ofnon-income producing 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 FSIC IV holds and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments FSIC IV holds. To the extent that a substantial portion of FSIC IV’s 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 FSIC IV’s net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to FSIC IV’s increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income.
Pursuant to the terms of the total return swap between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank, Cheltenham Funding pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus 1.60% or 1.50% per annum, as applicable, on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the total return swap in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a pool of loans having a maximum notional amount of $175,000. Pursuant to the terms of the BNP facility, borrowings are at a floating rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that FSIC IV or any of its subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, FSIC IV will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when FSIC IV or its subsidiaries have such debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, FSIC IV’s interest expense would increase, which could reduce its net investment income, especially to the extent it holds fixed rate investments.
The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on FSIC IV’s interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of FSIC IV’s investment portfolio, including the accrual status of FSIC IV’s investments, and FSIC IV’s financing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2019 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

(1) | Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months. Includes the net effect of the change in interest rates on the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the total return swap. Pursuant to the total return swap, Cheltenham Funding receives from Citibank all interest payable in respect of the loans included in the total return swap and pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the total return swap. As of March 31, 2019, all of the loans underlying the total return swap (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates. |
295
FSIC IV expects that its long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, FSIC IV may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize its 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 FSIC IV’s business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, FSIC IV did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.
In addition, FSIC IV may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FSICIV-Critical Accounting Policies-Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS OF THE FS FUNDS
The FS Funds’ executive officers, certain of their directors and certain professionals of FS Investments and KKR Credit who perform services for the funds on behalf of the Advisor are also officers, directors, trustees, managers, and/or key professionals of FS Investments, KKR Credit, other BDCs affiliated with the funds and other funds affiliated with FS Investments and KKR. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the funds. In the future, these persons and other affiliates of FS Investments and KKR Credit may organize other debt-related programs and acquire for their own account debt-related investments that may be suitable for the funds.
The FS Funds have procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the FS Funds and certain persons related to the FS Funds. For example, each of the FS Funds’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics generally prohibits any employee, officer or director from engaging in any transaction where there is a conflict between such individual’s personal interest and the interests of such FS Fund. Waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for any executive officer or member of the FS Funds’ boards of directors must be approved by the applicable board of directors, and are publicly disclosed as required by applicable law and regulations. In addition, the audit committee of each of the FS Funds is required to review and approve all transactions with related persons (as defined in Item 404 ofRegulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act). Prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event (which could include (1) a listing of the common stock of any of the FS Funds on a national securities exchange, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of any of the FS Funds’ assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation or (3) a merger or another transaction approved by any of the FS Funds’ board of directors in which such FS Fund’s stockholders likely will receive cash or shares of a publicly-traded company), all future transactions with affiliates of such FS Fund will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party and must be approved by a majority of the applicable board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors of such board of directors.
Compensation of the Investment Adviser
The FS Funds are externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to their respective investment advisory and administrative services agreements. On April 9, 2018, GDFM resigned as the investmentsub-adviser to the FS Funds and terminated their respective investmentsub-advisory agreements between such FS Fund and GDFM, effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as the investmentsub-adviser to the FS Funds, on April 9, 2018, each of the FS Funds entered into their respective current investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced a former investment advisory and administrative services agreement between each FS Fund and the former adviser.
Pursuant to each of the FS Funds’ investment advisory and administrative services agreements, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of such FS Fund’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of such FS Fund as set forth on such FS Fund’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on such FS Fund’s performance. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor shall determine.
Pursuant to the FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC II Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average value of FSIC II’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of FSIC II as set forth on FSIC II’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on FSIC II’s performance. Effective March 5, 2015, FSIC II Advisor had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of FSIC II’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC II Advisor under the FSIC II Former Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the FSIC III Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC III Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly value of FSIC III’s gross assets (gross assets equal the total assets of FSIC III as set forth on FSIC III’s consolidated balance sheets) and an incentive fee based on FSIC III’s performance. Effective February 3, 2017, FSIC III Advisor contractually had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III Former Investment Advisory Agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average weekly value of FSIC III’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC III Advisor under the FSIC III Former Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each year.
301
Pursuant to the FSIC IV Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC IV Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly 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. Effective February 1, 2017, FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC IV Former Investment Advisory Agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of FSIC IV’s average weekly gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC IV Advisor under the FSIC IV Former Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the terms of each of the investment advisory and administrative services agreements, 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the applicable FS Fund’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals such FS Fund’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the applicable FS Fund. On a quarterly basis, the FS Funds each accrue for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period. Each FS Fund 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 the Advisor if such FS Fund’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
Pursuant to the terms of each of the investment advisory and administrative services agreements, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of such FS Fund’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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the former investment advisory and administrative services agreements), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the former investment advisory and administrative services agreements). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of such FS Fund’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds ofnon-liquidating dispositions of such FS Fund’s investments and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to such FS Fund’s share repurchase program. As a result, the Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until such FS Fund’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75% (1.875% under the former investment advisory and administrative services agreements). Once such FS Fund’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the Advisor will be entitled to a“catch-up” fee equal to the amount of such FS Fund’spre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until such FS Fund’spre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the Former Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreements), of such FS Fund’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of such FS Fund’spre-incentive fee net investment income.
Pursuant to the current investment advisory and administrative services agreements, the Advisor oversees each FS Fund’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. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, each of the FS Funds’ corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that each FS Fund is required to maintain and preparing reports for each FS Fund’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists each FS Fund in calculating its NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to such FS Fund’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the each FS Fund’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to such FS Fund by others.
Pursuant to the current investment advisory and administrative services agreement, each FS Fund reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel FS Investments and KKR Credit for providing administrative services to each FS Fund on behalf of the Advisor. Each FS Fund reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to such FS Fund’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that such FS Fund estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to each FS Fund based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Each FS Fund’s board of directors reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are
302
allocated to such FS Fund and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among such FS Fund and certain affiliates of the Advisor. Each FS Fund’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 such FS Fund of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, each FS Fund’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, each FS Fund’s board of directors compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of such FS Fund’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the Former Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreements were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the current investment advisory and administrative services agreements.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the FS Funds do, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to the other funds in the Fund Complex, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the FS Funds’ best interests or in the best interest of the FS Funds’ stockholders. The FS Funds’ investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
Exemptive Relief
As BDCs, the FS Funds are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making their investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 transactions where price is the only negotiated term.
In an order dated June 4, 2013 (the “FS Order”), the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the FS Funds, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of the Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FSK and any future BDCs that are advised by the Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the Advisor, and in an effort to mitigate potential future conflicts of interest, the FS Funds’ boards of directors each authorized and directed that the FS Funds (i) withdraw from the FS Order, except with respect to any transaction in which the FS Funds 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 FS Funds, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.
Director Independence
A majority of the members of the FS Funds’ boards of directors are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the FS Funds or the Advisor, and are “independent” as defined by Rule 303A.00 in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an “interested person” to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with such FS Fund.
The FS Funds’ boards of directors are each currently comprised of eleven directors, nine of whom are independent directors. Each of the boards of directors of the FS Funds have determined that the following directors are independent directors: Messrs. Arnold, Kropp, Ford, Goldstein, Hagan, Harrow, Hopkins, Imasogie and Ms. Adams. Based upon information requested from each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, the boards of directors of the FS Funds have each affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the FS Funds, other than in his or her capacity as a member of board of directors or any committee or as a stockholder.

Additional Information Regarding FSIC III
Under the FSIC III Former Investment Advisory Agreement, FSIC III, either directly or through reimbursement to FSIC III Advisor or its affiliates, was responsible for its organization and offering costs in an amount up to 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in FSIC III’s continuous public offering. Organization and offering costs primarily included legal, accounting, printing and other expenses relating to FSIC III’s continuous public offering, including costs associated with technology integration between FSIC III’s systems and those of its selected broker-dealers, marketing expenses, salaries and direct expenses of FSIC III Advisor’s personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing FSIC III’s common stock, which included the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for FSIC III.
Prior to satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement and for a period of time thereafter, FS Investments funded certain of FSIC III’s organization and offering costs. Following this period, FSIC III has paid certain of its organization and offering costs directly and reimbursed FSIC III Advisor for offering costs incurred by FSIC III Advisor on FSIC III’s behalf, including marketing expenses, salaries and other direct expenses of FSIC III Advisor’s personnel and employees of its affiliates while engaged in registering and marketing FSIC III’s shares of common stock. Organization and offering costs funded directly by FS Investments were recorded by FSIC III as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value on the consolidated financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by FSIC III. All other offering costs, including costs incurred directly by FSIC III, amounts reimbursed to FSIC III Advisor for ongoing offering costs and any reimbursements paid to FS Investments for organization and offering costs previously funded, were recorded as a reduction of capital. Commencing January 1, 2016, offering costs incurred by FSIC III were deferred and amortized to expense over twelve months. Following the closing of FSIC III’s continuous public offering to new investors in November 2017, all deferred offering costs were expensed.
The dealer manager for FSIC III’s continuous public offering was FS Investment Solutions, LLC (“FS Investment Solutions”), which is one of FSIC III’s affiliates. Prior to the closing of FSIC III’s continuous public offering, the dealer manager was entitled under the dealer manager agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013, by and among FSIC III, FSIC III Advisor and FS Investment Solutions (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), to receive selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in the FSIC III’s continuous public offering, all or a portion of which could be re-allowed to selected broker-dealers. In February 2016, FSIC III closed its continuous public offering to investors investing through the IBD Channel (the “IBD Channel”) closing. As used herein, the IBD Channel refers to sales of shares of FSIC III Common Stock through broker-dealers (other than the dealer manager) that are members of FINRA, and other properly licensed financial securities firms whose contracts for investment advisory and related services do not include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, and who are collectively referred to herein as selected broker-dealers. Historically, sales through the IBD Channel constituted the majority of shares sold in FSIC III’s continuous public offering. Prior to the IBD Channel closing, shares of FSIC III Common Stock in its continuous public offering were subject to a sales load of up to 10.0% of the public offering price, which consisted of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of up to 7.0% and 3.0%, respectively, of the public offering price. Following the IBD Channel closing, the dealer manager waived its right to receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees in connection with shares of FSIC III Common Stock sold pursuant to its continuous public offering and, as a result, no selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid to the dealer manager from that date forward. The price at which shares of FSIC III Common Stock were sold following the IBD Channel closing is referred to as the institutional offering price. The dealer manager agreement terminated in connection with the closing of FSIC III’s continuous public offering in November 2017.

Additional Information Regarding FSIC IV
Shares of Class T common stock are subject to annual distribution fees of 1.00% of the estimated value of such shares, as determined in accordance with applicable rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) rules. The annual distribution fees is paid by FSIC IV to the dealer manager pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by FSIC IV in compliance with Rules12b-1 and17d-3 under the 1940 Act, as if those rules applied to FSIC IV. Among other requirements, such plan must be approved annually by a vote of FSIC IV’s board of directors, including the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of such plan or in any agreements related to such plan.
Except for Class T shares purchased by the principal of FSIC IV Advisor, members of the FSIC IV Board and other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC IV Advisor and GDFM, or through investment advisors whose contracts for investment advisory and related services include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, annual distribution fees are expected to be reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives, unless noted in the table below. The annual distribution fees are intended to compensate the dealer manager and its affiliates, selected broker-dealers and financial representatives for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing marketing, sale and distribution of such shares.
The annual distribution fees accrues daily commencing upon the initial sale of shares of common stock in FSIC IV’s continuous public offering until an investor reaches the Sales Charge Cap (as defined below). The accrual as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflects amounts beginning with the initial sale of shares of common stock in FSIC IV’s continuous public offering through December 31, 2017. The annual distribution fees are payable with respect to all shares of Class T common stock, other than shares issued under FSIC IV’s distribution reinvestment plan. The annual distribution fees will terminate for all Class T stockholders upon a liquidity event. In addition, FSIC IV will stop paying the annual distribution fees with respect to any outstanding Class T share when the total underwriting compensation from the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and annual distribution fees attributable to any share equals 7.25% of gross offering proceeds (the “Sales Charge Cap”). The Sales Charge Cap applicable to certain shares, including shares sold prior to January 25, 2017, will be reduced by the amount of any upfront sales load that is waived for such shares or to otherwise account for any lower upfront sales load paid by an investor with respect to such shares.
The annual distribution fees for all Class T shares currently will terminate upon the earliest of (i) any Class T share purchased after January 25, 2017 reaching the applicable Sales Charge Cap, (ii) FSIC IV’s dealer manager advising FSIC IV
307
that the aggregate underwriting compensation payable from all sources (determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of this offering and (iii) a liquidity event. If, in the future, FSIC IV receives exemptive relief to offer multiple share classes and if it offers a class of common stock with no sales load or asset-based service or annual distribution fee, or aNo-Load Share Class, upon a Class T share reaching the applicable Sales Charge Cap, such share will be converted into a share of suchNo-Load Share Class and will no longer be subject to ongoing annual distribution fees.

Expense Reimbursement and Base Management Fee Deferral Arrangement
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2019 it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement if, and to the extent that, FSIC IV’s distributions paid to FSIC IV’s stockholders in the calendar quarter exceeds the sum of FSIC IV’s investment company taxable income (as defined in the Code, net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code)) and dividends and other distributions paid to FSIC IV on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar quarter, or collectively, FSIC IV’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar quarter if, and to the extent that, FSIC IV’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar quarter exceeds FSIC IV’s distributions paid to FSIC IV’s stockholders in such quarter. In light of this commitment by the Advisor, the expense reimbursement agreement was terminated on November 14, 2018. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future quarters.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor did not defer the receipt of any base management fees. As of March 31, 2019, there were no deferred base management fees subject to future payment by FSIC IV.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS OF CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST II
CCT II has procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving CCT II and certain persons related to CCT II. For example, CCT II’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics generally prohibits any employee, officer or director from engaging in any transaction where there is a conflict between such individual’s personal interest and the interests of the CCT II. Waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for any executive officer or member of the board of trustees must be approved by CCT II Board and are publicly disclosed as required by applicable law and regulations. In addition, the audit committee is required to review and approve all transactions with related persons (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act). Prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event (which could include (1) a listing of the CCT II Common Stock on a national securities exchange, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of CCT II’s assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation or (3) a merger or another transaction approved by the board in which CCT II’s shareholders likely will receive cash or shares of a publicly-traded company), all future transactions with affiliates of CCT II will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party and must be approved by a majority of the board, including a majority of the independent trustees.
CCT II is or was previously a party to certain contractual agreements with the Advisor and CCT II Former Advisors and certain of their respective affiliates, including the CCT II Managing Dealer Agreement, the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement, the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, the CCT IIInvestment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement, the CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement and the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement (each as defined below).
Managing Dealer Agreement and Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan
CCT II was a party to a managing dealer agreement (the “Former CCT II Managing Dealer Agreement”) with CNL Securities Corp., an affiliate of CNL. CNL Securities Corp. which served as the managing dealer of CCT II’s offering and in connection therewith receivedup-front selling commissions of up to 2.00% of gross offering proceeds,up-front dealer manager fees of up to 2.75% of gross offering proceeds and ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees at an annualized rate of 1.25% of the CCT II’s most recently published NAV per share, excluding shares issued through the distribution reinvestment plan. All or any portion of these fees werere-allowed to participating brokers.
On March 16, 2017, the board of trustees approved an amended and restated managing dealer agreement (the “CCT II Managing Dealer Agreement”), between CCT II and the managing dealer and approved an amended and restated distribution and shareholder servicing plan for CCT II (the “CCT II Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan”), which lowered the ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fee paid to the managing dealer from an annualized rate of 1.25% to an annualized rate of 1.00% of CCT II’s NAV per share. On April 9, 2018, the CCT II Managing Dealer Agreement and the CCT II Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan were terminated effective April 30, 2018.
Investment Advisory Agreements
On April 9, 2018, CCT II terminated the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement and concurrently entered into the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Pursuant to the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement, CCT II pays the Advisor a fee for their services consisting of two components—a base management fee based on the average value of CCT II’s gross assets and incentive fees based on CCT II’s performance. The incentive fee consists of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. Under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 1.50% of the average value of CCT II’s gross assets, as compared to the annual rate of 2.00% under the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the calculation of the base management fee under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement excludes cash and cash equivalents from gross assets, as compared to the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which included cash and cash equivalents within the definition of gross assets. Under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor serves as the sole investment adviser of CCT II.
Previously, CCT II was a party to an investment advisory agreement with CNL (the “CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement”), for the overall management of CCT II’s activities. CNL was a party to asub-advisory agreement with KKR (the “CCT II FormerSub-Advisory Agreement”), under which KKR was responsible for theday-to-day management of CCT II’s investment portfolio. Pursuant to the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL earned (i) a management fee equal to an annual rate of 2.00% of CCT II’s average gross assets, and (ii) an incentive fee based on CCT II’s performance. The incentive fee consisted of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. CNL compensated KKR for advisory services that it provided to CCT II with 50% of the fees that CNL received under the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement.
311
A subordinated incentive fee on income is payable to the Advisor each calendar quarter if CCT II’spre-incentive fee net investment fee income (as defined in the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement and approved by CCT II’s board of trustees) exceeds the 1.75% quarterly preferred return to CCT II’s shareholders (the ratio ofpre-incentive fee net investment income divided by average adjusted capital).
The annual incentive fees on capital gains recorded for GAAP purposes are equal to (i) 20% of CCT II’s realized and unrealized capital gains on a cumulative basis since inception, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception, less (ii) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. For financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, CCT II includes unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio in the calculation of incentive fees on capital gains; however, such amounts are not payable by CCT II unless and until the net unrealized appreciation is actually realized. The actual amount of incentive fees on capital gains that are due and payable to the Advisor is determined at the end of the calendar year.
The terms of the incentive fees are substantially the same as those to which the CCT II Former Advisors were entitled to receive under the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement. CCT II did not incur any subordinated incentive fee on income under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. CCT II has not accrued any incentive fees payable on capital gains under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement as of March 31, 2019.
Under the terms of the CCT II Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL (and indirectly KKR) was entitled to receive up to 1.50% of gross offering proceeds as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors on behalf of CCT II. The CCT II Former Advisors had incurred organization and offering costs of approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 2018 on behalf of CCT II. The CCT II Former Advisors waived the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses in connection with CCT II’s gross capital raise received from the Offering from March 1, 2016 (when CCT II satisfied the minimum offering requirement) through April 30, 2017 (the “O&O Reimbursement Waiver”). The O&O Reimbursement Waiver did not reduce the amount of organization and offering expenses incurred by the CCT II Former Advisors that were eligible for reimbursement in future periods based on subsequent gross capital raised by CCT II after April 30, 2017. Gross capital raised by CCT II after April 30, 2017 was subject to the maximum organization and offering cost reimbursement of 1.50%. The CCT II Former Advisors were entitled to reimbursement of approximately $400 of organization and offering costs for gross capital raised for the period May 1, 2017 through April 9, 2018, all of which had been reimbursed to the CCT II Former Advisors as of April 9, 2018. A contingent obligation for the balance of organization and offering costs, subject to reimbursement based on future gross proceeds raised assuming a reinstatement of CCT II’s Offering, was approximately $5,000 as of April 30, 2018.
On April 30, 2018, CCT II terminated its offering and in conjunction therewith, the CCT II Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on CCT II’s behalf. As such, as of March 31, 2019, CCT II had no contingent obligations to reimburse CCT II’s Former Advisors for organization and offering expenses.
Administrative Services Agreements
CCT II was a party to an administrative services agreement with CNL (the “CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement”), under which CNL performed, or oversaw the performance of, various administrative services on behalf of CCT II. Administrative services include investor services, general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, maintaining required financial records, calculating CCT II’s NAV, filing tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing, and disseminating shareholder reports and generally overseeing the payment of CCT II’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to CCT II by others. CCT II reimbursed CNL for administrative expenses it incurred in performing its obligations.
On April 9, 2018, CCT II terminated the CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement with CNL and concurrently entered into a new administrative services agreement with the Advisor, or the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement under which the Advisor serves as CCT II’s administrator. The terms of the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement, including the services to be provided by the Advisor as administrator and the amount of reimbursements to be paid by CCT II for certain administrative expenses, are substantially the same as those under the CCT II Former Administrative Services Agreement.
Expense Support Agreements
CCT II was a party to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended and restated (the “CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement”), with the CCT II Former Advisors pursuant to which the CCT II Former Advisors jointly
312
and severally agreed to pay to CCT II some or all of its operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”), for each month during the Former Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) in which the CCT II Board declared a distribution to its shareholders. Expense Support Payments were made in accordance with the terms of the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Payment Period commenced on March 1, 2016 and terminated effective with the termination of the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement on April 9, 2018. The amount of Expense Support Payments provided by the Former Advisors since inception was approximately $5,400. Effective April 30, 2018, the Former Advisors waived their right to reimbursement of such Expense Support Payments.
The Former Advisors were entitled to be reimbursed promptly by CCT II (a “CCT Reimbursement Payment”) for Expense Support Payments made with respect to any class of common stock, subject to the limitation that no Reimbursement Payment may be made by CCT II to the extent that it would cause CCT II’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement) for such class of common stock to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of average net assets attributable to common shares on an annualized basis after taking such payment into account and (B) the percentage of average net assets attributable to shares of such class of common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement) during the period in which such Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) did not apply to any Reimbursement Payment which related to an Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors made during the same period).
Concurrently with CCT II’s entry into the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement and the CCT II Administrative Services Agreement, on April 9, 2018, CCT II entered into a new expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “CCT II Expense Support Agreement”) which replaced the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement. The CCT II Expense Support Agreement was substantially similar to the CCT II Former Expense Support Agreement.
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar month ending on or prior to September 30, 2019, it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement if, and to the extent that, CCT II’s distributions paid to CCT II’s shareholders in the calendar month exceeds the sum of CCT II’s investment company taxable income (as defined in Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code), net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code) and dividends and other distributions paid to CCT II on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar month, or collectively, CCT II’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar month if, and to the extent that, CCT II’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar month exceeds CCT II’s distributions paid to CCT II’s shareholders in such month. In light of this commitment by the Advisor, the CCT II Expense Support Agreement was terminated on November 14, 2018. CCT II’s conditional obligation to reimburse the Advisor pursuant to the terms of the CCT II Expense Support Agreement survived the termination of such agreement. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future periods.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor did not defer the receipt of any base management fees. As of March 31, 2019, there were no deferred base management fees subject to future payment by CCT II.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as CCT II does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to the Fund Complex, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 CCT II’s best interests or in the best interest of CCT II’s stockholders. CCT II’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
315
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, CCT II is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 transactions where price is the only negotiated term.
In an order dated April 3, 2018, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting CCT II, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor. The SEC exemptive order extended theco-investment exemptive order previously granted by the SEC to CCT II in June 2017.
316

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION II
The following description is based on relevant portions of the MGCL and the FSIC II Charter and FSIC II Bylaws. This summary is not intended to be complete, and FSIC II refers you to the MGCL and the FSIC II Charter and FSIC II Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.
Capital Stock
The FSIC II Charter authorizes FSIC II to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of stock, of which 450,000,000 shares are classified as FSIC II Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. A majority of the directors of the FSIC II Board, without any action by FSIC II’s stockholders, may amend the FSIC II Charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that FSIC II has authority to issue. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase FSIC II’s stock. No stock has been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans.
As of March 31, 2019, FSIC II had 66,734 stockholders of record, which does not include beneficial owners of shares of FSIC II Common Stock held in “street” name by brokers and other institutions on behalf of beneficial owners.
The following are FSIC II’s outstanding classes of equity securities as of August 5, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Title of Class | | Amount Authorized | | | Amount Held by FSIC II or for its Account | | | Amount Outstanding | |
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share | | | 450,000,000 | | | | — | | | | 326,445,320 | |
The FSIC II Charter also contains a provision permitting the FSIC II Board to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of FSIC II Common Stock or preferred stock in one or more classes or series of FSIC II Common Stock or preferred stock by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of the FSIC II Common Stock or preferred stock. FSIC II believes that the power to classify or reclassify unissued shares of capital stock and thereafter issue the classified or reclassified shares provides FSIC II with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and investments and in meeting other needs that might arise, such as the Recapitalization Transaction.
FSIC II Common Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC II Charter, all shares of FSIC II Common Stock have equal rights as to voting. Except as may be provided by the FSIC II Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified stock, shares of FSIC II Common Stock have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In the event of FSIC II’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of FSIC II Common Stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of FSIC II’s assets that are legally available for distribution after FSIC II pays all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of FSIC II preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of FSIC II Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as may be provided by the FSIC II Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified stock, the holders of FSIC II Common Stock possess exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting. As permitted by the MGCL, the FSIC II Charter provides that the presence of stockholders entitled to castone-third of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of stockholders will constitute a quorum.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC II Charter, the FSIC II Board is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series without stockholder approval. The FSIC II Board has discretion to determine the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of each series of preferred stock.
Preferred stock may be issued with rights and preferences that would adversely affect the holders of FSIC II Common Stock. Preferred stock may also be used as an anti-takeover device. Every issuance of preferred stock will be required to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance of preferred stock and before any distribution is made with respect to FSIC II’s Common Stock and before any purchase of FSIC II
368
Common Stock is made, the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of such preferred stock together with the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference or aggregate value of all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of FSIC II’s total assets after deducting the amount of such distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if distributions on such preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. FSIC II believes that the availability for issuance of preferred stock will provide it with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions.
FSIC II currently has no preferred stock issued or outstanding. Other than its consideration of the Recapitalization Transaction, the FSIC II Board has no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock, but it may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval.
For any series of preferred stock that FSIC II may issue, the FSIC II Board will determine:
| • | | the designation and number of shares of such series; |
| • | | the rate and time at which, and the preferences and conditions under which, any dividends or other distributions will be paid on shares of such series, as well as whether such dividends or other distributions are participating ornon-participating; |
| • | | any provisions relating to convertibility or exchangeability of the shares of such series, including adjustments to the conversion price of such series; |
| • | | the rights and preferences, if any, of holders of shares of such series upon FSIC II’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs; |
| • | | the voting powers, if any, of the holders of shares of such series; |
| • | | any provisions relating to the redemption of the shares of such series; |
| • | | any limitations on FSIC II’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions on, or acquire or redeem, other securities while shares of such series are outstanding; |
| • | | any conditions or restrictions on FSIC II’s ability to issue additional shares of such series or other securities; |
| • | | if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations; and |
| • | | any other relative powers, preferences and participating, optional or special rights of shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. |
All shares of preferred stock that FSIC II may issue will be identical and of equal rank except as to the particular terms thereof that may be fixed by the FSIC II Board.
Limitation on Liability of Directors and Officers; Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision expanding or limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, but a corporation may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders:
| (a) | to the extent that it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or |
| (b) | to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the request of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. |
The FSIC II Charter contains a provision which limits directors’ and officers’ liability to FSIC II and FSIC II’s stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. In addition, FSIC II has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may indemnify its directors, officers and certain other parties against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service to the corporation or at its request, unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the indemnified party was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith
369
or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the indemnified director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the indemnified party had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Maryland law does not permit indemnification in respect of any proceeding in which the party seeking indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Further, a party may not be indemnified for a proceeding brought by that party against the corporation, except (i) for a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification or (ii) if the charter or bylaws, a resolution of the corporation’s board of directors or an agreement approved by the corporation’s board of directors to which the corporation is a party expressly provides otherwise.
The FSIC II Charter permits FSIC II to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to any individual (a) who is a present or former director or officer of FSIC II and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity, or (b) who, while a director or officer of FSIC II and at FSIC II’s request, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, member, manager or trustee of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her service in such capacity and from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or such person may incur, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.
The FSIC II Charter provides that any provisions of the charter relating to limiting liability of directors and officers or to indemnifying directors and officers are subject to any applicable limitations in the 1940 Act.
The FSIC II Bylaws obligate FSIC II to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to any individual who (a) is a present or former director or officer of FSIC II and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity, or (b) while a director or officer of FSIC II and at FSIC II’s request, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, member, manager or trustee of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her service in such capacity and from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or such person may incur, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act.
The FSIC II Charter and FSIC II Bylaws also permit FSIC II to provide such indemnification and advancement for expenses to a person who served a predecessor of FSIC II in any of the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of FSIC II or a predecessor of FSIC II. In accordance with the 1940 Act, FSIC II will not indemnify any person for any liability to which such person would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the FSIC II Charter and Bylaws
The MGCL and the FSIC II Charter and FSIC II Bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire FSIC II by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of FSIC II to negotiate first with the FSIC II Board. FSIC II believes that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.
Board of Directors
Assuming approval of the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals, the Second Articles will provide that the number of directors will be ten, and may be increased or decreased by the FSIC II Board in accordance with the FSIC II Bylaws. The FSIC II Bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be less than the minimum number required by the MGCL or more than twelve. The FSIC II Board is classified with each of the three classes having as close to the same number of directors as possible. Generally, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at such meeting shall be elected for a three-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. FSIC II’s directors may be elected to an unlimited number of successive terms.
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that a director shall be elected if such director receives a plurality of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present.
Except as may be provided by the FSIC II Board in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, pursuant to an election in the FSIC II Charter as permitted by the MGCL, any and all vacancies on the FSIC II Board may be filled only by
370
the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.
By virtue of FSIC II’s election into MGCL §3-804(a), subject to the rights, if any, of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, any director may be removed from office at any time only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to cast generally in the election of directors. Pursuant to the FSIC II Bylaws, any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the FSIC II Board, the chairman of the FSIC II Board or the secretary, which resignation shall take effect immediately upon its receipt or at such later time specified in the resignation.
The FSIC II Board currently has a total of eleven members, nine of whom are independent directors. A director is considered independent if he or she is not an “interested person” as that term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. The FSIC II Charter provides that a majority of the FSIC II Board must consist of independent directors except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director pending the election of his or her successor.
Action by Stockholders
The MGCL provides that action by holders of common stock of a Maryland corporation can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting (unless the charter permits the consent in lieu of a meeting to be less than unanimous, which the FSIC II Charter does not). These provisions, combined with the requirements of the FSIC II Bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that, with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the FSIC II Board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to FSIC II’s notice of the meeting, (b) by the FSIC II Board or (c) by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the FSIC II Bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in FSIC II’s notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the FSIC II Board at a special meeting may be made only (x) pursuant to FSIC II’s notice of the meeting, (y) by the FSIC II Board or (z) provided that the FSIC II Board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the FSIC II Bylaws.
The purpose of requiring stockholders to give FSIC II advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford the FSIC II Board a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the FSIC II Board, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of stockholders. Although the FSIC II Bylaws do not give the FSIC II Board any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third-party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to FSIC II and FSIC II’s stockholders.
Exclusive Forum
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless FSIC II consents in writing to the selection of a different forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on FSIC II’s behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of FSIC II’s directors, officers or other employees to FSIC II or its stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against FSIC II or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, or FSIC II Charter or FSIC II Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against FSIC II or any of its directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
371
Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the FSIC II Board and certain of FSIC II’s officers. In addition, the FSIC II Bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders will be called by FSIC II’s secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
Stockholders’ Rights of Inspection.
Under the MGCL, a stockholder of a Maryland corporation may inspect and copy certain business records of the corporation, including the bylaws and minutes of the proceedings of the stockholders. In addition, persons who have been stockholders of record holding at least five percent of the outstanding stock of any class for at least six months may inspect certain books of account and the corporation’s stock ledger. Stockholders’ rights of inspection are subject to timing and procedural requirements set forth in the MGCL. Assuming that the FSIC II stockholders approve the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals, the Second Articles will provide that a stockholder of FSIC II that is otherwise eligible to inspect certain documents of the corporation will not be entitled to make the inspection if the FSIC II Board determines that the stockholder has an improper purpose for requesting the inspection.
Approval of Extraordinary Corporate Action; Amendment of Charter and Bylaws
Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, consolidate, convert into another form of entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a share exchange, unless the transaction is advised by its board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Under the FSIC II Charter, provided that FSIC II’s directors then in office have approved and declared the action advisable and submitted such action to FSIC II’s stockholders, action that requires stockholder approval, including amending the FSIC II Charter, FSIC II’s dissolution, a merger, consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of FSIC II’s assets must be approved by the affirmative vote of FSIC II’s stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, assuming that the FSIC II stockholders approve the FSIC II Listing Charter Amendment Proposals, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to cast at least 80% of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, with each class that is entitled to vote on the matter voting as a separate class, shall be required to effect any amendment to the FSIC II Charter to make FSIC II Common Stock a “redeemable security” or convert FSIC II, whether by merger or otherwise, from a“closed-end company” to an“open-end company” (as such terms are defined in the 1940 Act), to cause FSIC II’s liquidation or dissolution or any amendment to the FSIC II Charter to effect any such liquidation or dissolution, or to amend certain charter provisions, provided that, if the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Second Articles), by a vote of at leasttwo-thirds of such Continuing Directors, in addition to approval by the FSIC II Board, approve such amendment, the affirmative vote of only the holders of stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter shall be required.
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that the FSIC II Board will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of the FSIC II Bylaws.
No Appraisal Rights
In certain extraordinary transactions, the MGCL provides the right to dissenting stockholders to demand and receive the fair value of their shares, subject to certain procedures and requirements set forth in the statute. Those rights are commonly referred to as appraisal rights. Except with respect to appraisal rights arising in connection with the Control Share Acquisition Act discussed below, as permitted by the MGCL, the FSIC II Charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.
Distribution Policy
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board, FSIC II currently declares cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays regular cash distributions to its stockholders on a monthly basis. FSIC II 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 FSIC II Common Stock are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, FSIC II may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of FSIC II Common Stock at the discretion of the FSIC II Board. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board.
372
FSIC II may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to FSIC II, including proceeds from the sale of shares of FSIC II 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 FSIC II on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. FSIC II has not established limits on the amount of funds FSIC II may use from available sources to make distributions.
During certain periods, FSIC II’s distributions may exceed FSIC II’s earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC II 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 FSIC II’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to FSIC II’s stockholders subject to information reporting. See “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of an Investment in FSIC II Common Stock.”
FSIC II adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan, which provides for reinvestment of FSIC II’s distributions on behalf of FSIC II’s stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the FSIC II Board declares a cash distribution, then FSIC II’s stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of FSIC II Common Stock rather than receiving the cash distribution.
Registered stockholders must notify FSIC II’s transfer agent in writing if they wish to “opt out” of FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan. No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have their cash distribution reinvested in shares of FSIC II Common Stock.
Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of FSIC II Common Stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. See “FSIC II Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for more information.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote oftwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, which FSIC II refers to as the Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
| • | | one-tenth or more but less thanone-third; |
| • | | one-third or more but less than a majority; or |
| • | | a majority or more of all voting power. |
The requisite stockholder approval must be obtained each time an acquirer crosses one of the thresholds of voting power set forth above. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the corporation’s board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may repurchase for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The corporation’s right to repurchase control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including compliance with the 1940 Act. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at
373
which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The Control Share Acquisition Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the corporation’s charter or bylaws. The FSIC II Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of FSIC II’s shares of stock. There can be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future (before or after a control share acquisition). However, FSIC II will amend its bylaws to repeal such provision (so as to be subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act) only if the FSIC II Board determines that it would be in FSIC II’s best interests and if the staff of the SEC does not object to FSIC II’s determination that its being subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act.
Stockholder Liability
The MGCL provides that FSIC II stockholders are under no obligation to FSIC II or FSIC II’s creditors with respect to their shares other than the obligation to pay to FSIC II the full amount of the consideration for which their shares were issued.
Under the FSIC II Charter, FSIC II stockholders shall not be liable for any debt, claim, demand, judgment or obligation of any kind by reason of being a stockholder, nor shall any stockholder be subject to any personal liability by reason of being a stockholder.
Business Combinations
Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. FSIC II refers to these provisions as the Business Combination Act. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
| • | | any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s shares; or |
| • | | an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within thetwo-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation. |
A person is not an interested stockholder under this statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by the stockholder otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| • | | 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and |
| • | | two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. |
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under the MGCL, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for his, her or its shares.
The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The FSIC II Board has adopted a resolution that any business combination between FSIC II and any other person is exempted from the provisions of the Business Combination Act, provided that the business combination is first approved by the FSIC II Board, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. If this resolution is repealed, or the FSIC II Board does not otherwise approve a business combination, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of FSIC II and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
374
Additional Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law
The MGCL provides that a Maryland corporation that is subject to the Exchange Act and has at least three outside directors can elect by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to some corporate governance provisions that may be inconsistent with the corporation’s charter and bylaws. Under the applicable statute, a board of directors may classify itself without the vote of stockholders. A board of directors classified in that manner cannot be altered by amendment to the charter of the corporation. Further, the board of directors may, by electing into applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the charter or bylaws:
| • | | provide that a special meeting of stockholders will be called only at the request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting; |
| • | | reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors; |
| • | | provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of the holders oftwo-thirds of the stock entitled to vote; |
| • | | retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies created by the death, removal or resignation of a director; and |
| • | | provide that all vacancies on the board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. |
In addition, if the board of directors is classified, a director elected to fill a vacancy under this provision will serve for the balance of the unexpired term instead of until the next annual meeting of stockholders. A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without stockholder approval. A corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute. FSIC II is not prohibited from implementing any or all of the statute. The FSIC II Board has elected into the applicable statutory provisions, which provide that, except as may be provided by the board in setting the terms of any class of preferred stock, any vacancies on the board may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and a director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the balance of the unexpired term.
Conflict with the 1940 Act
The FSIC II Bylaws provide that, if and to the extent that any provision of the MGCL, including the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (if FSIC II amends the FSIC II Bylaws to be subject to such act) and the MGCL, or any provision of the FSIC II Charter or FSIC II Bylaws conflicts with any mandatory provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.
Fall-Away Provisions
The FSIC II Charter also includes provisions required by the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines that will automatically fall away upon a Listing. These provisions include: (i) Section 4.7(b) regarding conflicts between the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines and the MGCL, (ii) Section 5.5 regarding deferred payments on account of the purchase price of FSIC II’s stock, (iii) Section 5.6 regarding dividends and distributions paid by FSIC II, (iv) Section 5.8 regarding suitability of stockholders, (v) Section 6.2 regarding approval of certain charter amendments, (vi) Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c) regarding limitations on indemnification, (vii) Article VIII regarding restrictions on FSIC II’s adviser, (viii) Article IX regarding FSIC II’s investment objectives and limitations, (ix) Article X regarding conflicts of interest, (x) Section 11.1 regarding stockholder voting rights, (xi) Section 11.2 regarding voting limitations on shares held by FSIC II’s adviser, directors and affiliates and (xii) Article XII regarding Roll-Up Transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION III
The following description is based on relevant portions of the MGCL and the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws. This summary is not intended to be complete, and FSIC III refers you to the MGCL and the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.
Stock
FSIC III’s authorized stock consists of 600,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 550,000,000 shares are classified as common stock and 50,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock. A majority of the FSIC III Board, without action by FSIC III’s stockholders, may amend the FSIC III Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that FSIC III has authority to issue; provided, that any such amendment may not change the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers limitations as to dividends, or terms or conditions of redemption of any issued and outstanding shares. There is currently no market for FSIC III Common Stock, and FSIC III does not expect that a market for FSIC III’s shares will develop in the foreseeable future. No shares of FSIC III Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under Maryland law, FSIC III’s stockholders generally will not be personally liable for FSIC III’s debts or obligations.
Set forth below is a chart describing the classes of FSIC III’s securities outstanding as of August 5, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) Title of Class | | (2) Amount Authorized | | | (3) Amount Held by FSIC III or for its Account | | | (4) Amount Outstanding Exclusive of Amount Under Column(3) | |
Common Stock | | | 550,000,000 | | | | — | | | | 289,291,960 | |
Common Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC III Charter, all shares of FSIC III Common Stock will have equal rights as to voting and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of FSIC III Common Stock if, as and when authorized by the FSIC III Board and declared by FSIC III out of funds legally available therefor. Except as may be provided by the FSIC III Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified stock, shares of FSIC III’s common stock will have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and will be freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In addition, FSIC III’s shares of common stock are not subject to any mandatory redemption obligations by us. In the event of FSIC III’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of FSIC III Common Stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of FSIC III’s assets that are legally available for distribution after FSIC III pays all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of FSIC III’s preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of FSIC III Common Stock will be entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as may be provided by the FSIC III Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified stock, the holders of FSIC III Common Stock will possess exclusive voting power. There will be no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect all of FSIC III’s directors, provided that there are no shares of any other class or series of stock outstanding entitled to vote in the election of directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares will be unable to elect any director.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC III Charter, the FSIC III Board is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The FSIC III Board has discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, distribution rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock. The issuance of any preferred stock must be approved by a majority of FSIC III’s independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access, at FSIC III’s expense, to FSIC III’s legal counsel or to independent legal counsel.
Preferred stock could be issued with rights and preferences that would adversely affect the holders of common stock. Preferred stock could also be used as an anti-takeover device. Every issuance of preferred stock will be required to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance of preferred
376
stock and before any distribution is made with respect to FSIC III Common Stock and before any purchase of common stock is made, the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of such preferred stock together with the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference or aggregate value of all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of FSIC III’s total assets after deducting the amount of such distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if distributions on such preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. FSIC III believes that the availability for issuance of preferred stock will provide FSIC III with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions.
Limitation on Liability of Directors and Officers; Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. The FSIC III Charter contains a provision, which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act.
Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the FSIC III Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding in which the director or officer was successful. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a benefit or profit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
The FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws obligate FSIC III, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, to indemnify (i) any present or former director or officer, (ii) any individual who, while a director or officer and at FSIC III’s request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, or (iii) FSIC III Advisor or any of its affiliates acting as an agent for us, from and against any claim or liability to which the person or entity may become subject or may incur by reason of their service in that capacity, and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses as incurred in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. In accordance with the 1940 Act, FSIC III will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to the extent that such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in accordance with guidelines adopted by the NASAA, the FSIC III Charter prohibits it from indemnifying or holding harmless an officer, director, employee, controlling person and any other person or entity acting as FSIC III’s agent (which would include, without limitation, the Advisor and its affiliates) unless each of the following conditions are met: (1) FSIC III has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was intended to be in FSIC III’s best interest; (2) FSIC III has determined, in good faith, that the party seeking indemnification was acting or performing services on FSIC III’s behalf; (3) FSIC III has determined, in good faith, that such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is FSIC III Advisor, any of its affiliates, or any officer of FSIC III, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is a director (and not also an officer of FSIC III, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor); and (4) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of FSIC III’s net assets and not from FSIC III’s stockholders.
The investment advisory and administrative services agreement provides that the Advisor and its officers, managers, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with it acting as FSIC III’s agent will not be entitled to
377
indemnification (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) for any liability or loss suffered by the Advisor or such other person, nor will the Advisor or such other person be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by us, unless: (1) the Advisor or such other person has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in FSIC III’s best interests; (2) the Advisor or such other person was acting on behalf of or performing services for FSIC III; (3) the liability or loss suffered was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or such other person acting as FSIC III’s agent; and (4) the indemnification or agreement to hold the Advisor or such other person harmless for any loss or liability suffered by FSIC III is only recoverable out of FSIC III’s net assets and not from FSIC III’s stockholders. In accordance with the 1940 Act, FSIC III will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to which such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and FSIC III’s Charter and Bylaws
The MGCL and the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire FSIC III by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of FSIC III to negotiate first with the FSIC III Board. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.
Election of Directors
As permitted by Maryland law, the FSIC III Bylaws provide that directors will be elected by a plurality of all votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
The FSIC III Charter provides that the number of directors will be nine, and may be increased or decreased by the FSIC III Board in accordance with the FSIC III Bylaws. The FSIC III Board is classified with each of the three classes having as close to the same number of directors as possible. The FSIC III Bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be less than the minimum number required by the MGCL or more than twelve. Generally, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at such meeting shall be elected for a three-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. FSIC III’s directors may be elected to an unlimited number of successive terms.
The FSIC III Bylaws provide that a director shall be elected if such director receives a plurality of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present.
Except as may be provided by the FSIC III Board in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, pursuant to an election in the FSIC III Charter as permitted by the MGCL, any and all vacancies on the FSIC III Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.
By virtue of FSIC III’s election into MGCL §3-804(a), subject to the rights, if any, of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, any director may be removed from office at any time only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to cast generally in the election of directors. Pursuant to the FSIC III Bylaws, any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the FSIC II Board, the chairman of the FSIC III Board or the secretary, which resignation shall take effect immediately upon its receipt or at such later time specified in the resignation.
FSIC III has a total of eleven members of the FSIC III Board, nine of whom are independent directors. The FSIC III Charter provides that a majority of the FSIC III Board must be independent directors except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director pending the election of his or her successor.
Action by Stockholders
The MGCL provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting (unless the charter permits the consent in lieu of a meeting to be less than unanimous,
378
which FSIC III’s charter does not). These provisions, combined with the requirements of the FSIC III Bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals
The FSIC III Bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the FSIC III Board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to FSIC III’s notice of the meeting, (b) by the FSIC III Board or (c) by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the FSIC III Bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in FSIC III’s notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the FSIC III Board at a special meeting may be made only (x) pursuant to FSIC III’s notice of the meeting, (y) by the FSIC III Board or (z) provided that the FSIC III Board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the FSIC III Bylaws.
The purpose of requiring stockholders to give us advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford the FSIC III Board a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the FSIC III Board, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of stockholders. Although the FSIC III Bylaws do not give the FSIC III Board any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to us and FSIC III’s stockholders.
Exclusive Forum
The FSIC III Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless FSIC III consents in writing to the selection of a different forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on FSIC III’s behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of FSIC III’s directors, officers or other employees to FSIC III or its stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against FSIC III or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, or FSIC III Charter or FSIC III Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against FSIC III or any of FSIC III’s directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
Calling of Annual Meetings of Stockholders
The FSIC III Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the FSIC III Board and certain of FSIC III’s officers. In addition, the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders will be called by the secretary of the corporation upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
Approval of Extraordinary Corporate Action; Amendment of Charter and Bylaws
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless advised by its board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Under FSIC III’s charter, provided that FSIC III’s directors then in office have approved and declared the action advisable and submitted such action to the stockholders, an action that requires stockholder approval, including FSIC III’s dissolution, a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of FSIC III’s assets or a similar transaction outside the ordinary course of business, must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to FSIC III’s charter to make FSIC III’s common stock a “redeemable security” or to convert the company, whether by merger or otherwise, from aclosed-end company to anopen-end company must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
379
The FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws provide that the FSIC III Board will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws.
The FSIC III Charter provides that upon a vote by a majority of FSIC III’s stockholders, FSIC III’s stockholders may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Advisor, direct that FSIC III:
| • | | amend the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the FSIC III charter; |
| • | | remove FSIC III Advisor and elect a new investment adviser; |
| • | | approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of FSIC III’s assets when such sale is to be made other than in the ordinary course of business. |
Without the approval of a majority of FSIC III’s stockholders, the Advisor may not:
| • | | amend the investment advisory and administrative services agreement except for amendments that would not adversely affect the interests of FSIC III’s stockholders; |
| • | | voluntarily withdraw as FSIC III’s investment adviser unless such withdrawal would not affect FSIC III’s tax status and would not materially adversely affect FSIC III’s stockholders; |
| • | | appoint a new investment adviser; |
| • | | sell all or substantially all of FSIC III’s assets; and |
| • | | approve a merger or any other reorganization of FSIC III. |
No Appraisal Rights
In certain extraordinary transactions, the MGCL provides the right to dissenting stockholders to demand and receive the fair value of their shares, subject to certain procedures and requirements set forth in the statute. Those rights are commonly referred to as appraisal rights. Except with respect to appraisal rights arising in connection with the Control Share Acquisition Act defined and discussed below, as permitted by the MGCL, and similar rights in connection with a proposedroll-up transaction, FSIC III’s charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote oftwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, which FSIC IV refers to as the Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
| • | | one-tenth or more but less thanone-third; |
| • | | one-third or more but less than a majority; or |
| • | | a majority or more of all voting power. |
The requisite stockholder approval must be obtained each time an acquirer crosses one of the thresholds of voting power set forth above. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may repurchase for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which
380
voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to repurchase control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including, as provided in the bylaws, compliance with the 1940 Act. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The Control Share Acquisition Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. The FSIC III Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of FSIC III’s shares of stock. There can be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future (before or after a control share acquisition). However, FSIC III will amend its bylaws to repeal such provision (so as to be subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act) only if the FSIC III Board determines that it would be in FSIC III’s best interests and if the staff of the SEC does not object to FSIC III’s determination that FSIC III’s being subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act.
Business Combinations
Under Maryland law, certain “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, which FSIC III refers to as the Business Combination Act. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
| • | | any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s shares; or |
| • | | an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within thetwo-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation. |
A person is not an interested stockholder under this statute if the FSIC III Board approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the FSIC III Board may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the FSIC III Board of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| • | | 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and |
| • | | two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. |
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the FSIC III Board before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The FSIC III Board has adopted a resolution that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from the provisions of the Business Combination Act, provided that the business combination is first approved by the FSIC III Board, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. If this resolution is repealed, or the FSIC III Board does not otherwise approve a business combination, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Additional Provisions of Maryland Law
Maryland law provides that a Maryland corporation that is subject to the Exchange Act and has at least three outside directors can elect by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to some corporate governance provisions that may be
381
inconsistent with the corporation’s charter and bylaws. Under the applicable statute, a board of directors may classify itself without the vote of stockholders. A board of directors classified in that manner cannot be altered by amendment to the charter of the corporation. Further, the FSIC III Board may, by electing into applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the charter or bylaws:
| • | | provide that a special meeting of stockholders will be called only at the request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting; |
| • | | reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors; |
| • | | provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of the holders oftwo-thirds of the stock entitled to vote; |
| • | | retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies created by the death, removal or resignation of a director; and |
| • | | provide that all vacancies on the FSIC III Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. |
In addition, if the board is classified, a director elected to fill a vacancy under this provision will serve for the balance of the unexpired term instead of until the next annual meeting of stockholders. A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without stockholder approval. A corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute. We are not prohibited from implementing any or all of the statute.
Pursuant to FSIC III’s charter, FSIC III has elected to be subject to a specific provision of the statute such that, at all times that FSIC III is eligible to make that election, all vacancies on the FSIC III Board resulting from an increase in the size of the board or the death, resignation or removal of a director may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. That election by FSIC III’s board is subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and subject to any provisions of a class or series of preferred stock established by the board, and provided that independent directors shall nominate replacements for any vacancies among the independent directors’ positions. While certain other of the provisions available for election under the statute are already contemplated by the FSIC III Charter and FSIC III Bylaws, the law would permit the FSIC III Board to override further changes to FSIC III Charter or FSIC III Bylaws.
Conflict with 1940 Act
The FSIC III Bylaws provide that, if and to the extent that any provision of the MGCL, including the Control Share Acquisition Act (if FSIC III amends the FSIC III Bylaws to be subject to such Act) and the Business Combination Act, or any provision of the FSIC III Charter or FSIC III Bylaws conflicts with any provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.
Reports to Stockholders
Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, FSIC III will distribute its quarterly report on Form10-Q to all stockholders of record and to the state securities administrator in each state in which FSIC III offers or sells securities. In addition, FSIC III will distribute FSIC III’s annual report on Form10-K to all stockholders and to the state securities administrator in each state in which FSIC III offers or sells securities within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. These reports will also be available on FSIC III’s website atwww.fsinvestments.com and on the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov. These reports should not be considered a part of or as incorporated by reference in this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, unless this prospectus or such registration statement is specifically amended or supplemented to include such reports.
On a quarterly basis, FSIC III will send information to all stockholders of record regarding the sources of distributions paid to FSIC III’s stockholders in such quarter.
Subject to availability, you may authorize FSIC III to provide prospectuses, prospectus supplements, annual reports and other information, or documents, electronically by so indicating on your subscription agreement, or by sending FSIC III instructions in writing in a form acceptable to FSIC III to receive such documents electronically. Unless you elect in writing to receive documents electronically, all documents will be provided in paper form by mail. You must have internet access to use electronic delivery. While FSIC III imposes no additional charge for this service, there may be potential costs associated with electronic delivery, such ason-line charges. Documents will be available on FSIC III’s website. You may access and print all
382
documents provided through this service. As documents become available, FSIC III will notify you of this by sending you ane-mail message that will include instructions on how to retrieve the document. If FSIC III’se-mail notification is returned to us as “undeliverable,” FSIC III will contact you to obtain your updatede-mail address. If FSIC III is unable to obtain a valide-mail address for you, FSIC III will resume sending a paper copy by regular U.S. mail to your address of record. You may revoke your consent for electronic delivery at any time and FSIC III will resume sending you a paper copy of all required documents. However, in order for FSIC III to be properly notified, your revocation must be given to FSIC III a reasonable time before electronic delivery has commenced. FSIC III will provide you with paper copies at any time upon request. Such request will not constitute revocation of your consent to receive required documents electronically.
Listing
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FSIC III Charter provides that, if there is a listing of FSIC III Common Stock on a national securities exchange, FSIC III’s directors will be classified and could be removed only for cause and only by the vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast. In addition, FSIC III’s charter provides that, after a listing, the liquidation or dissolution of the company and amendments to FSIC III’s charter to make FSIC III’s common stock a “redeemable security” or to convert the company, whether by merger or otherwise, from aclosed-end company to anopen-end company must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least eighty percent of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST II
The following description is based on relevant portions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the DGCL and on CCT II’s Declaration of Trust and CCT II’s bylaws. This summary is not intended to be complete and CCT II refers you to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act as well as CCT II’s Declaration of Trust and CCT II’s bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.
Outstanding Securities
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) Title of Class | | (2) Amount Authorized | | | (3) Amount Held by CCT II or for its Account | | | (4) Amount Outstanding Exclusive of Amount Shown under (3) as of August 5, 2019 | |
Common | | | 1,000,000,000 | | | | — | | | | 12,209,073 | |
Preferred | | | 100,000,000 | | | | — | | | | — | |
Capital Stock
CCT II’s authorized shares of capital stock consist of 1,100,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are classified as common shares and 100,000,000 are classified as preferred shares. There is currently no market for CCT II’s shares of common stock, and CCT II does not expect that a market for CCT II Common Stock will develop in the foreseeable future. No shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under Delaware law, CCT II’s shareholders are entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to shareholders of private corporations organized for profit under the DGCL and therefore generally are not personally liable for CCT II’s debts or obligations.
Shares of Common Stock
Under the terms of CCT II’s declaration of trust all shares of CCT II Common Stock when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of shares of CCT II Common Stock if, as and when authorized by the CCT II Board and declared by CCT II out of funds legally available therefor. Except as may be provided by the CCT II Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares or as may otherwise be provided by contract approved by the CCT II Board, shares of common stock have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In addition, shares of CCT II Common Stock are not subject to any mandatory redemption obligations by us. In the event of CCT II’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of CCT II’s assets that are legally available for distribution after CCT II pays or makes reasonable provision for the payment of all claims and obligations and subject to any preferential rights of holders of CCT II’s shares of preferred stock, if any shares of preferred stock are outstanding at such time. Subject to certain exceptions in CCT II’s declaration of trust with respect to class voting, each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of trustees. Except as may be provided by the DGCL, the Statutory Trust Act or by CCT II’s board of trustees in setting the terms of shares of preferred stock or classified or reclassified shares, the holders of CCT II’s shares of common stock possess exclusive voting power. The CCT II Bylaws provide for a plurality voting standard for the election of trustees. Under this voting standard, once a quorum has been established, the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them will be elected as trustees to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Votes withheld shall have no legal effect.
Shares of Preferred Stock
Under the terms of CCT II’s declaration of trust, the CCT II Board is authorized to create one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval. The CCT II Board has discretion to determine the rights, preferences, covenants, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, distribution rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each class or series of shares of preferred stock and such preferred stock could have voting rights and conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of shares of common stock. In the event CCT II issues preferred stock, CCT II will supplement its disclosure accordingly. CCT II will not offer preferred stock to CCT II’s advisers or their affiliates except on the same terms as offered to all other shareholders unless otherwise approved by a majority of the CCT II Independent Trustees who have access, at CCT II’s expense, to independent counsel.
384
Shares of preferred stock could be issued with rights and preferences that would adversely affect the holders of shares of common stock. Shares of preferred stock could also be used as an anti-takeover device. Every issuance of shares of preferred stock will be required to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance and before any distribution is made with respect to shares of CCT II Common Stock and before any purchase of shares of common stock is made, the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of such shares of preferred stock together with the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference or aggregate value of all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of CCT II’s total assets after deducting the amount of such distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two trustees at all times and to elect a majority of trustees if distributions on such shares of preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock. CCT II believes that the availability for issuance of shares of preferred stock provides CCT II with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions.
Limitation on Liability of Trustees and Officers; Indemnification and Advance of Expenses
Delaware law permits a Delaware statutory trust to include in its declaration of trust a provision to indemnify and hold harmless any trustee or beneficial owner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The CCT II Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to any limitation set forth under federal securities laws or in the CCT II Charter, CCT II’s trustees and officers will not be liable to CCT II or CCT II’s shareholders for money damages. In accordance with the 1940 Act, CCT II will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to which such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
Pursuant to the CCT II Charter and subject to certain exceptions described therein, CCT II will indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (i) any individual who is a present or former trustee or officer of CCT II and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (ii) any individual who, while a trustee or officer of CCT II and at the request of CCT II, serves or has served as a trustee, officer, partner or trustee of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity (each such person, an “Indemnitee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, CCT II will not provide indemnification for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by an Indemnitee unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations, (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made.
CCT II will not indemnify an Indemnitee against any liability or loss suffered by such Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnitee determines in good faith that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of CCT II, (ii) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of or performing services for CCT II, (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is a trustee (other than an independent trustee) or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is an independent trustee, and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of assets of CCT II and not from the shareholders.
In addition, Delaware law permits a trust to advance reasonable expenses to a trustee or officer, and CCT II will do so in advance of final disposition of a proceeding (a) if the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of CCT II, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder or, if by a shareholder of CCT II acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) upon CT II’s receipt of (i) a written affirmation by the trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by CCT II and (ii) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by CCT II if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
CCT II’s insurance policy does not currently provide coverage for claims, liabilities and expenses that may arise out of activities that CCT II’s present or former trustees or officers have performed for another entity at CCT II’s request. There is no assurance that such entities will in fact carry such insurance. However, CCT II notes that it does not expect to request CCT II’s present or former trustees or officers to serve another entity as a trustee, officer, partner or trustee unless CCT II can obtain insurance providing coverage for such persons for any claims, liabilities or expenses that may arise out of their activities while serving in such capacities.
385
Provisions of the CCT II Charter
The CCT II Charter contains provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire CCT II by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. The CCT II Board may, without shareholder action, authorize the issuance of shares in one or more classes or series, including shares of preferred stock; the CCT II Board may, without shareholder action, amend the CCT II Charter to increase the number of shares of CCT II Common Stock, of any class or series, that CCT II will have authority to issue; and the CCT II Charter provides that, upon and following the occurrence of a listing of any class of CCT II’s shares on a national securities exchange, the CCT II Board will be divided into three classes of trustees serving staggered terms of three years each. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with the CCT II Board. CCT II believes that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.
Sales and Leases to CCT II
The CCT II Charter provides that, except as otherwise permitted under the 1940 Act, CCT II may not purchase or lease assets in which CCT II’s adviser or any of their affiliates have an interest unless all of the following conditions are met: (a) the transaction is fully disclosed to the shareholders in a prospectus or in a periodic report; and (b) the assets are sold or leased upon terms that are reasonable to CCT II and at a price not to exceed the lesser of cost or fair market value as determined by an independent expert. However, CCT II’s adviser may purchase assets in their own names (and assume loans in connection) and temporarily hold title, for the purposes of facilitating the acquisition of the assets, the borrowing of money, obtaining financing for us, or the completion of construction of the assets, so long as all of the following conditions are met: (i) the assets are purchased by us at a price no greater than the cost of the assets to CCT II’s advisers; (ii) all income generated by, and the expenses associated with, the assets so acquired will be treated as belonging to CCT II; and (iii) there are no other benefits arising out of such transaction to CCT II’s advisers.
Sales and Leases to CCT II’s Advisers, Trustees or Affiliates
The CCT II Charter provides that CCT II may not sell assets to CCT II’s adviser or any affiliate unless such sale is approved by the holders of a majority of CCT II’s outstanding voting securities. The CCT II Charter also provides that CCT II may not lease assets to CCT II’s adviser or any trustee or any affiliate thereof unless all of the following conditions are met: (a) the transaction is fully disclosed to the shareholders in a prospectus or in a periodic report; and (b) the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable to CCT II.
Loans
The CCT II Charter provides that, except for the advancement of indemnification funds, no loans, credit facilities, credit agreements or otherwise may be made by CCT II to CCT II’s adviser or any of affiliate thereof.
Commissions on Financing, Refinancing or Reinvestment
The CCT II Charter provides that CCT II generally may not pay, directly or indirectly, a commission or fee to CCT II’s adviser or any of affiliate thereof (except as otherwise provided in the CCT II Charter) in connection with the reinvestment of cash available for distribution, available reserves, or the proceeds of the refinancing of assets.
Lending Practices
The CCT II Charter provides that, with respect to financing made available to CCT II by its adviser, such adviser may not receive interest in excess of the lesser of such adviser’s cost of funds or the amounts that would be charged by unrelated lending institutions on comparable loans for the same purpose. An adviser may not impose a prepayment charge or penalty in connection with such financing and such adviser may not receive points or other financing charges. In addition, an adviser will be prohibited from providing financing to CCT II with a term in excess of 12 months.
Election of Trustees
As set forth in CCT II’s bylaws, CCT II’s trustees will be elected by a plurality of all votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.
386
Number of Trustees; Vacancies; Removal
The CCT II Charter provides that the number of trustees is five, which number may be increased or decreased from time to time only by the Trustees pursuant to the Bylaws, but shall never be less than three, except in certain circumstances pending elections. Except as otherwise required by applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and as may be provided by the CCT II Board in setting the terms of any class or series of shares of preferred stock, pursuant to an election under the CCT II Charter, any and all vacancies on the CCT II Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining trustees in office, even if the remaining trustees do not constitute a quorum, and any trustee elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the trustee for whom the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualified, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Independent trustees will nominate replacements for any vacancies among the independent trustees’ positions.
The CCT II Charter provides that a trustee may be removed only for “cause” (as defined in the CCT II Charter) by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the shares of common stock entitled to be cast generally in the election of trustees.
CCT II has a total of five members of the CCT II Board, three of whom are independent trustees. The CCT II Charter provides that a majority of the CCT II Board must be independent trustees except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent trustee pending the election of his or her successor. Prior to the occurrence of a listing of any class of CCT II’s shares on a national securities exchange, if any, each trustee will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Upon and following the occurrence of a listing of any class of CCT II’s shares on a national securities exchange, the CCT II Board will be divided into three classes of trustees serving staggered terms of three years each.
Advance Notice Provisions for Shareholder Nominations and Shareholder Proposals
The CCT II bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, nominations of persons for election to the CCT II Board and the proposal of business to be considered by shareholders may be made only (a) pursuant to CCT II’s notice of the meeting, (b) by the CCT II Board or (c) by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the CCT II Charter. With respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business specified in CCT II’s notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the CCT II Board at a special meeting may be made only (x) pursuant to CCT II’s notice of the meeting, (y) by CCT II’s board of trustees or (z) provided that CCT II’s board of trustees has determined that trustees will be elected at the meeting, by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the CCT II Charter.
The purpose of requiring shareholders to give us advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford the CCT II Board a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the CCT II Board, to inform shareholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of shareholders. Although the CCT II Charter does not give the CCT II Board any power to disapprove shareholder nominations for the election of trustees or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of trustees or the consideration of shareholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of trustees or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to CCT II and CCT II’s shareholders.
Calling of Annual Meetings of Shareholders
The CCT II Charter provides that special meetings of shareholders may be called by the CCT II Board, a majority of the CCT II Independent Trustees, and certain of CCT II’s officers. In addition, the CCT II Charter provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the shareholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of shareholders will be called by the secretary of CCT II upon the written request of shareholders entitled to cast 10% or more of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. Any special meeting called by such shareholders is required to be held not more than 90 days after the record date of special meeting.
Approval of Extraordinary Trust Action; Amendment of Declaration of Trust
The CCT II Charter provides that the CCT II Board has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of CCT II’s bylaws and to make new bylaws. However, any amendment to CCT II’s bylaws and any addition of new bylaws that
387
adversely affects the rights of CCT II’s shareholders must be approved by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter.
The CCT II Charter also provides that, subject to the provisions of any class or series of shares then outstanding and the mandatory provisions of any applicable laws or regulations or other provisions of the declaration of trust, the following actions may be taken by the shareholders, without concurrence by the CCT II Board, upon a vote by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matters; and, if CCT II seeks to take any of the following actions, such action will require the affirmative vote of holders of 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon:
| • | | modify the declaration of trust; |
| • | | appoint a new investment adviser; or |
| • | | sell all or substantially all of CCT II’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business. |
Except as described above and for certain provisions of the CCT II Charter relating to shareholder voting and the removal of trustees, the CCT II Charter provides that the CCT II Board may amend the CCT II Charter without any vote of CCT II’s shareholders.
No Appraisal Rights
In certain extraordinary transactions, some jurisdictions provide the right to dissenting shareholders to demand and receive the fair value of their shares of common stock, subject to certain procedures and requirements set forth in such statute. Those rights are commonly referred to as appraisal rights. The CCT II Charter provides that, except as may be provided by the board of trustees in setting the terms of any class or series of shares, holders of CCT II’s shares are not entitled to exercise appraisal rights.
Delaware Business Combination Statute
Pursuant to the CCT II Charter, CCT II has elected to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, which, in general, prohibits a business combination between a corporation and an interested shareholder within three years of the time such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless:
| • | | prior to such time, the board of trustees of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder; |
| • | | upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, exclusive (for the purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding) of shares owned by trustees who are also officers and by certain employee stock plans; or |
| • | | at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of trustees and authorized by the affirmative vote at a shareholders’ meeting (and not by written consent) of at least 66.33% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested shareholder. |
The term “business combination” is defined in Section 203 of the DGCL to include, among other transactions between an interested shareholder and a corporation or any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiary thereof: a merger or consolidation; a sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition (including as part of a dissolution) of assets having an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all assets of the corporation on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the corporation; certain transactions that result in the issuance or transfer by the corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation of any stock of the corporation or any stock of such subsidiary to the interested shareholder; certain transactions that would increase the interested shareholder’s proportionate share ownership of the stock of any class or series of the corporation or such subsidiary; and any receipt by the interested shareholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or any such subsidiary. In general, and subject to certain exceptions, pursuant to Section 203 of the DGCL, an “interested shareholder” is any person who is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the determination date, and the affiliates and associates of such persons. The term “owner” is broadly defined to include any person that individually or with or through such person’s affiliates or associates, among other things, beneficially owns such stock, or has the right to acquire such stock (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement or understanding or upon the exercise of options or
388
other convertible securities or otherwise or has the right to vote such stock pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or has an agreement or understanding with the beneficial owner of such stock for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of such stock.
Conflict with 1940 Act
The CCT II Charter provides that if and to the extent that any provision of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the DGCL or any provision of the CCT II Charter conflicts with any provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION IV
Stock
FSIC IV’s authorized stock consists of 1,150,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,100,000,000 shares are common stock, 250,000,000 of which are classified as Class A common stock, 250,000,000 of which are classified as Class D common stock, 250,000,000 of which are classified as Class T common stock and 350,000,000 of which are classified as Class I common stock, and 50,000,000 shares are preferred stock. The FSIC IV Charter permits the FSIC IV Board by resolution to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of FSIC IV stock into one or more classes or series by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, limitations as to dividends, or terms or conditions of redemption of each class or series of stock. A majority of the FSIC IV Board, without action by FSIC IV stockholders, may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that FSIC IV has authority to issue; provided, that any such amendment may not change the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, limitations as to dividends, or terms or conditions of redemption of any issued and outstanding shares. There is currently no market for FSIC IV common stock, and FSIC IV does not expect that a market for FSIC IV shares will develop in the foreseeable future. No stock has been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under Maryland law, FSIC IV stockholders generally will not be personally liable for FSIC IV’s debts or obligations.
Set forth below is a chart describing the classes of FSIC IV’s securities outstanding as of August 5, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) Title of Class | | (2) Amount Authorized | | | (3) Amount Held by FSIC IV or for FSIC IV’s Account | | | (4) Amount Outstanding Exclusive of Amount Under Column(3) | |

Common Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC IV Charter, all shares of FSIC IV Common Stock, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of FSIC IV Class A, Class D, Class T and Class I common stock (which shall be done pro rata among the stockholders of shares of a specific class) at the same time and in different per share amounts on such Class A, Class D, Class T and Class I common stock if, as and when authorized by the FSIC IV Board and declared by FSIC IV out of funds legally available therefor. Each class of common stock shall represent an investment in the same pool of assets and shall have the same preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption as each other class of common stock except for such differences as are clearly and expressly set forth in FSIC IV’s charter and as described in “Share Class Specifications.” Except as may be provided by the FSIC IV Board in setting terms of classified or reclassified stock, or as described in “Share Class Specifications,” shares of FSIC IV Common Stock will have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and will be freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In addition, shares of FSIC IV Common Stock are not subject to any mandatory redemption obligations by FSIC IV. In the event of FSIC IV’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of a class of common stock would be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of FSIC IV that are legally available for distribution to FSIC IV’s stockholders after it pays or makes reasonable provision for the payment of all claims and obligations and subject to any preferential rights of holders of FSIC IV preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time, a liquidation payment equal to the NAV per share of such class; provided, however, that if the available assets of FSIC IV are insufficient to pay in full the above described liquidation payment, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of each class of common stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of each class of common stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. Class A, Class D, Class T and Class I common stock will vote together as a single class, and each share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and subject to the express terms of any class or series of preferred stock, holders of common stock shall have the exclusive right to vote on all matters as to which a stockholder is entitled to vote pursuant to applicable law at all meetings of stockholders provided, however, that the holders of a class of common stock will have (i) exclusive voting rights on a charter amendment that would alter only the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the FSIC IV Charter, of the specified class of common stock and (ii) voting rights as set forth in Rule18f-3(a)(2)-(3) promulgated under the 1940 Act. There will be no
391
cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect all of FSIC IV directors, provided that there are no shares of any other class or series of stock outstanding entitled to vote in the election of directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares will be unable to elect any director.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the FSIC IV Charter, the FSIC IV Board is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The FSIC IV Board has discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, distribution rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock. Unless the FSIC IV Board determines otherwise or the express terms of a class or series of preferred stock provides otherwise, the holders of a class or series of preferred stock will have exclusive voting rights on a charter amendment that would alter only the contract rights, as expressly set forth in FSIC IV’s charter, of the specified class or series of preferred stock. The issuance of any preferred stock must be approved by a majority of the FSIC IV independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access, at FSIC IV’s expense, to FSIC IV’s legal counsel or to independent legal counsel.
Preferred stock could be issued with rights and preferences that would adversely affect the holders of common stock. Preferred stock could also be used as an anti-takeover device. Every issuance of preferred stock will be required to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance of preferred stock and before any distribution is made with respect to FSIC IV Common Stock and before any purchase of common stock is made, the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of such preferred stock together with the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference or aggregate value of all other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of FSIC IV’s total assets after deducting the amount of such distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if distributions on such preferredstock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. FSIC IV believes that the availability for issuance of preferred stock will provide FSIC IV with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions.
Limitation on Liability of Directors and Officers; Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. The FSIC IV Charter contains a provision, which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act.
Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the FSIC IV Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding in which the director or officer was successful. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a benefit or profit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
The FSIC IV Charter and bylaws obligate FSIC IV, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, to indemnify (i) any present or former director or officer, (ii) any individual who, while a director or officer and at FSIC IV’s request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint
392
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, or (iii) the Advisor or any of its affiliates acting as an agent for FSIC IV, from and against any claim or liability to which the person or entity may become subject or may incur by reason of their service in that capacity, and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses as incurred in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. In accordance with the 1940 Act, FSIC IV will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to the extent that such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in accordance with guidelines adopted by NASAA, the FSIC IV Charter prohibits FSIC IV from indemnifying or holding harmless an officer, director, employee, controlling person and any other person or entity acting as FSIC IV’s agent (which would include, without limitation, the Advisor and its affiliates) unless each of the following conditions are met: (1) FSIC IV has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was intended to be in FSIC IV’s best interest; (2) FSIC IV has determined, in good faith, that the party seeking indemnification was acting or performing services on FSIC IV’s behalf; (3) FSIC IV has determined, in good faith, that such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is the Advisor, any of its affiliates, or any officer of FSIC IV, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the party seeking indemnification is a director (and not also an officer of FSIC IV, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor); and (4) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of FSIC IV’s net assets and not from its stockholders.
The FSIC IV Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor and its officers, managers, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with it acting as FSIC IV’s agent will not be entitled to indemnification (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) for any liability or loss suffered by the Advisor or such other person, nor will the Advisor or such other person be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by FSIC IV, unless: (1) the Advisor or such other person has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in FSIC IV’s best interests; (2) the Advisor or such other person was acting on behalf of or performing services for FSIC IV; (3) the liability or loss suffered was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or such other person acting as FSIC IV’s agent; and (4) the indemnification or agreement to hold the Advisor or such other person harmless for any loss or liability suffered by FSIC IV is only recoverable out of FSIC IV’s net assets and not from its stockholders. In accordance with the 1940 Act, FSIC IV will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to which such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the FSIC IV Charter and Bylaws
The MGCL and the FSIC IV Charter and FSIC IV Bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire FSIC IV by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of FSIC IV to negotiate first with the FSIC IV Board. FSIC IV believes that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.
Election of Directors
As permitted by Maryland law, FSIC IV’s directors will be elected by a plurality of all votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, voting as a single class, entitled to vote at a stockholder meeting at which a quorum is present.
Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
The FSIC IV Charter provides that the number of directors will be nine, and may be increased or decreased by the FSIC II Board in accordance with the FSIC IV Bylaws. The FSIC IV Board is classified with each of the three classes having as close to the same number of directors as possible. The FSIC IV Bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be less than the minimum number required by the MGCL or more than twelve. Generally, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at such meeting shall be elected for a three-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. FSIC IV’s directors may be elected to an unlimited number of successive terms.
The FSIC IV Bylaws provide that a director shall be elected if such director receives a plurality of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present.
393
Except as may be provided by the FSIC IV Board in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, pursuant to an election in the FSIC IV Charter as permitted by the MGCL, any and all vacancies on the FSIC IV Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.
By virtue of FSIC IV’s election into MGCL §3-804(a), subject to the rights, if any, of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, any director may be removed from office at any time only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to cast generally in the election of directors. Pursuant to the FSIC IV Bylaws, any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the FSIC IV Board, the chairman of the FSIC IV Board or the secretary, which resignation shall take effect immediately upon its receipt or at such later time specified in the resignation.
FSIC IV has a total of eleven members of the FSIC IV Board, nine of whom are independent directors. The FSIC IV Charter provides that a majority of the FSIC IV Board must be independent directors except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director pending the election of his or her successor.
Action by Stockholders
The MGCL provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting (unless the charter permits the consent in lieu of a meeting to be less than unanimous, which FSIC IV’s charter does not). These provisions, combined with the requirements of FSIC IV’s bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals
FSIC IV’s bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the FSIC IV Board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to FSIC IV’s notice of the meeting or supplement thereto, (b) by or at the direction of the FSIC IV Board or (c) by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in FSIC IV’s notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the FSIC IV Board at a special meeting may be made only (x) pursuant to FSIC IV’s notice of the meeting, (y) by or at the direction of the FSIC IV Board or (z) provided that the FSIC IV Board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the bylaws.
The purpose of requiring stockholders to give FSIC IV advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford the FSIC IV Board a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the FSIC IV Board, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of stockholders. Although FSIC IV’s bylaws do not give the FSIC IV Board any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to FSIC IV and its stockholders.
Exclusive Forum
The FSIC IV Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless FSIC IV consents in writing to the selection of a different forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on FSIC IV’s behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of FSIC IV’s directors, officers or other employees to FSIC IV or its stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against FSIC IV or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, or FSIC IV Charter or FSIC IV Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against FSIC IV or any of its directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
394
Calling of Annual Meetings of Stockholders
FSIC IV’s bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the FSIC IV Board and certain of its officers. In addition, the FSIC IV Charter and bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders will be called by the secretary of the corporation upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast 10% or more of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. Any special meeting called by such stockholders shall be held (i) not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting and (ii) not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days after the secretary gives notice of such meeting to stockholders.
Approval of Extraordinary Corporate Action; Amendment of Charter and Bylaws
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless advised by its board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter voting together as a single class. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Under the FSIC IV Charter, provided that FSIC IV’s directors then in office have approved and declared the action advisable and submitted such action to the stockholders, an action that requires stockholder approval, including FSIC IV’s dissolution, a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of FSIC IV’s assets or a similar transaction outside the ordinary course of business, must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to the FSIC IV Charter to make FSIC IV’s common stock a “redeemable security” or to convert the company, whether by merger or otherwise, from aclosed-end company to anopen-end company must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of FSIC IV Common Stock entitled to cast at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, with common stock and each class or series of preferred stock that is entitled to vote on a matter voting as a separate class. In addition, as permitted by Maryland law, the FSIC IV Charter provides that a majority of the FSIC IV Board, without action by FSIC IV’s stockholders, may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that FSIC IV has authority to issue; provided, that any such amendment may not change the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, limitations as to dividends, or terms or conditions of redemption of any issued and outstanding shares.
The FSIC IV Charter and bylaws provide that the FSIC IV Board will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of FSIC IV’s bylaws.
The FSIC IV Charter provides that upon a vote by a majority of FSIC IV’s stockholders voting together as a single class, FSIC IV’s stockholders may, without the necessity of any concurrence by FSIC IV Advisor, direct that FSIC IV:
| • | | amend the investment advisory and administrative services agreement; |
| • | | remove the Advisor and elect a new investment adviser; |
| • | | approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of FSIC IV’s assets when such sale is to be made other than in the ordinary course of business. |
Without the approval of a majority of FSIC IV’s stockholders voting together as a single class, the Advisor may not:
| • | | amend the investment advisory and administrative services agreement except for amendments that would not adversely affect the interests of FSIC IV’s stockholders; |
| • | | voluntarily withdraw as FSIC IV’s investment adviser unless such withdrawal would not affect FSIC IV’s tax status and would not materially adversely affect FSIC IV’s stockholders; |
| • | | appoint a new investment adviser; |
| • | | sell all or substantially all of FSIC IV’s assets; and |
| • | | approve a merger or any other reorganization of FSIC IV. |
No Appraisal Rights
In certain extraordinary transactions, the MGCL provides the right to dissenting stockholders to demand and receive the fair value of their shares, subject to certain procedures and requirements set forth in the statute. Those rights are commonly
395
referred to as appraisal rights. Except with respect to appraisal rights arising in connection with the Control Share Acquisition Act defined and discussed below, as permitted by the MGCL, and similar rights in connection with a proposedroll-up transaction, the FSIC IV Charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote oftwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, which FSIC IV refers to as the Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
| • | | one-tenth or more but less thanone-third; |
| • | | one-third or more but less than a majority; or |
| • | | a majority or more of all voting power. |
The requisite stockholder approval must be obtained each time an acquirer crosses one of the thresholds of voting power set forth above. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may repurchase for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to repurchase control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including, as provided in FSIC IV’s bylaws, compliance with the 1940 Act. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The Control Share Acquisition Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. FSIC IV’s bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of FSIC IV’s shares of stock. There can be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future (before or after a control share acquisition). However, FSIC IV will amend FSIC IV’s bylaws to repeal such provision (so as to be subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act) only if the FSIC IV Board determines that it would be in FSIC IV’s best interests and if the staff of the SEC does not object to FSIC IV’s determination that FSIC IV being subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act does not conflict with the 1940 Act.
Business Combinations
Under Maryland law, certain “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, which FSIC IV refers to as the Business Combination Act. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
| • | | any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s shares; or |
| • | | an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within thetwo-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation. |
396
A person is not an interested stockholder under this statute if the FSIC IV Board approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the FSIC IV Board may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by FSIC IV’s board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| • | | 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and |
| • | | two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. |
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the FSIC IV Board before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The FSIC IV Board has adopted a resolution that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from the provisions of the Business Combination Act, provided that the business combination is first approved by the FSIC IV Board, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. If this resolution is repealed, or the FSIC IV Board does not otherwise approve a business combination, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Additional Provisions of Maryland Law
Maryland law provides that a Maryland corporation that is subject to the Exchange Act and has at least three outside directors can elect by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to some corporate governance provisions that may be inconsistent with the corporation’s charter and bylaws. Under the applicable statute, a board of directors may classify itself without the vote of stockholders. A board of directors classified in that manner cannot be altered by amendment to the charter of the corporation. Further, FSIC IV’s board of directors may, by electing into applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the charter or bylaws:
| • | | provide that a special meeting of stockholders will be called only at the request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting; |
| • | | reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors; |
| • | | provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of the holders oftwo-thirds of the stock entitled to vote; |
| • | | retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies created by the death, removal or resignation of a director; and |
| • | | provide that all vacancies on the FSIC IV Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. |
In addition, if the board is classified, a director elected to fill a vacancy under this provision will serve for the balance of the unexpired term instead of until the next annual meeting of stockholders. A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without stockholder approval. A corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute. FSIC IV is not prohibited from implementing any or all of the statute.
Pursuant to the FSIC IV Charter, FSIC IV has elected to be subject to a specific provision of the statute such that, at all times that FSIC IV is eligible to make that election, all vacancies on the FSIC IV Board resulting from an increase in the size of the board or the death, resignation or removal of a director may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. That election by the FSIC IV Board is subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act and subject to any provisions of a class or series of preferred stock established by the board. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if there are independent directors on the board of directors, vacancies among the
397
independent directors’ positions on the board of directors may be filled only by individuals who are nominated by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining independent directors in office. While certain other of the provisions available for election under the statute are already contemplated by FSIC IV’s charter and bylaws, the law would permit the FSIC IV Board to override further changes to the charter or bylaws.
Conflict with 1940 Act
FSIC IV’s bylaws provide that, if and to the extent that any provision of the MGCL, including the Control Share Acquisition Act (if FSIC IV amends its bylaws to be subject to such Act) and the Business Combination Act, or any provision of the FSIC IV Charter or bylaws conflicts with any provision of the 1940 Act, the applicable provision of the 1940 Act will control.
Reports to Stockholders
Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, FSIC IV will distribute its quarterly report on Form10-Q to all stockholders of record and to the securities administrator in each jurisdiction in which FSIC IV offers or sells securities. In addition, FSIC IV will distribute its annual report on Form10-K to all stockholders of record and to the securities administrator in each jurisdiction in which FSIC IV offers or sells securities within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. These reports will also be available on FSIC IV’s website atwww.fsinvestments.com and on the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov. These reports should not be considered a part of or as incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, unless the prospectus or registration statement is specifically amended or supplemented to include such reports.
On a quarterly basis, FSIC IV will send information to all stockholders of record regarding the sources of distributions paid to FSIC IV’s stockholders in such quarter.
Subject to availability, you may authorize FSIC IV to provide prospectuses, prospectus supplements, annual reports and other information, or documents, electronically by so indicating on your subscription agreement, or by sending FSIC IV instructions in writing in a form acceptable to FSIC IV to receive such documents electronically. Unless you elect in writing to receive documents electronically, all documents will be provided in paper form by mail. You must have internet access to use electronic delivery. While FSIC IV imposes no additional charge for this service, there may be potential costs associated with electronic delivery, such ason-line charges. Documents will be available on FSIC IV’s website. You may access and print all documents provided through this service. As documents become available, FSIC IV will notify you of this by sending you ane-mail message that will include instructions on how to retrieve the document. If FSIC IV’se-mail notification is returned to FSIC IV as “undeliverable,” FSIC IV will contact you to obtain your updatede-mail address. If FSIC IV is unable to obtain a valide-mail address for you, FSIC IV will resume sending a paper copy by regular U.S. mail to your address of record. You may revoke your consent for electronic delivery at any time and FSIC IV will resume sending you a paper copy of all required documents. However, in order for FSIC IV to be properly notified, your revocation must be given to FSIC IV a reasonable time before electronic delivery has commenced. FSIC IV will provide you with paper copies at any time upon request. Such request will not constitute revocation of your consent to receive required documents electronically.
Listing
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FSIC IV Charter provides that, if there is a listing of FSIC IV Common Stock on a national securities exchange, FSIC IV’s directors will be classified, with respect to the terms for which they hold office, into three classes and will thereafter be elected for three-year terms and could be removed only for cause and only by the vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast. In addition, the FSIC IV Charter provides that, after a listing, the liquidation or dissolution of the company and amendments to FSIC IV’s charter to make FSIC IV’s common stock a “redeemable security” or to convert the company, whether by merger or otherwise, from aclosed-end company to anopen-end company must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least eighty percent of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

FSIC II DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board, FSIC II currently declares cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays regular cash distributions to its stockholders on a monthly basis.
FSIC II has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if FSIC II makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of FSIC II Common Stock. The timing and amount of any future distributions to FSIC II’s stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC II Board.
Under the distribution reinvestment plan, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the FSIC II Common Stock at a purchase price determined by the FSIC II Board, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the NAV per share of FSIC Common Stock as determined in good faith by the FSIC II Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV per share of the FSIC Common Stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the FSIC II Common Stock.
FSIC II may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of FSIC II 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 FSIC II on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. FSIC II has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. During certain periods, FSIC II’s distributions may exceed its earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC II 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 FSIC II’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 FSIC II’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that FSIC II will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.
FSIC II reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan in accordance with its terms. FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan may be terminated by FSIC II upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any cash distribution; if such notice is mailed fewer than 30 days prior to such record date, such termination will be effective immediately following the payment date for such cash distribution. A participant may terminate its account under FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan by so notifying the plan administrator, which termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the plan administrator no later than 2 days prior to the record date for a distribution.
All correspondence concerning FSIC II’s distribution reinvestment plan should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at FS Investment Services, c/o DST Systems, Inc., P.O. Box 219095, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9095 or by telephone at(877) 628-8575.
FSIC II has filed its distribution reinvestment plan with the SEC as an exhibit to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You may obtain a copy of the plan by request to the plan administrator or by contacting FSIC II at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112, by calling FSIC II collect at (215)495-1150 or by visiting FSIC II’s website atwww.fsinvestments.com.

FSIC III AND FSIC IV DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLANS
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the FSIC III Board and FSIC IV Board, FSIC III and FSIC IV intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis.
FSIC III and FSIC IV each have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if FSIC III or FSIC IV makes a cash distribution, such Fund Party’s stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of FSIC III Common Stock or FSIC IV Common Stock, as applicable. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.
On October 13, 2017, FSIC III and FSIC IV each amended and restated their respective distribution reinvestment plan (the “Amended Distribution Reinvestment Plans”), which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the original distribution reinvestment plan, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the funds’ common stock at a purchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the Amended Distribution Reinvestment Plans, cash distributions to participating stockholders are reinvested in additional shares of such Fund Party’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the applicable board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the NAV per share of such Fund Party’s common stock as determined in good faith by the applicable board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV per share of such Fund Party’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock are treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of FSIC III and FSIC IV’s shares of common stock.
FSIC III and FSIC IV may each fund their cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to them, including proceeds from the sale of such Fund Party’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 FSIC III and FSIC IV stockholders on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. FSIC III and FSIC IV have not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. During certain periods, FSIC III and FSIC IV’s distributions may exceed their earnings. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions FSIC III and FSIC IV 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 FSIC III and FSIC IV’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 FSIC III and FSIC IV’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that FSIC III or FSIC IV will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.
FSIC III and FSIC IV each reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate FSIC III and FSIC IV’s distribution reinvestment plan in accordance with its terms. FSIC III and FSIC IV’s distribution reinvestment plans may be terminated by FSIC III and FSIC IV, respectively, upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any cash distribution; if such notice is mailed fewer than 30 days prior to such record date, such termination will be effective immediately following the payment date for such cash distribution. A participant may terminate its account under FSIC III and FSIC IV’s distribution reinvestment plan by so notifying the plan administrator, which termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the plan administrator no later than 2 days prior to the record date for a distribution.

CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST II DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
CCT II has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of CCT II dividends and other distributions on behalf of CCT II stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if the CCT II Board authorizes, and CCT II declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then CCT II’s stockholders who have “opted in” to CCT II’s distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of CCT II Common Stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Weekly distributions are generally declared from time to time by the CCT II Board. Distributions are paid monthly.
Any purchases of CCT II Common Stock pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are dependent on the continued registration of CCT II’s securities or the availability of an exemption from registration in the recipient’s home state. Participants in the distribution reinvestment plan are free to elect or revoke reinstatement in the distribution plan within a reasonable time as specified in the plan. Participants who have submitted a request for the repurchase of their shares under the share repurchase program that have been fully denied must affirmativelyre-enroll in the distribution reinvestment plan. If a CCT II shareholder does not elect to participate in the plan such CCT II shareholder will automatically receive any distributions CCT II declares in cash. For example, if the CCT II Board authorizes, and CCT II declares, a cash distribution, then if a CCT II shareholder has “opted in” to CCT II’s distribution reinvestment plan a CCT II shareholder will have its cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of CCT II Common Stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions.
A CCT II shareholder’s distribution amount will purchase shares at a per share price equivalent to the public offering price pursuant to the effective registration statement at the time of purchase, net of upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. In the event that this offering is suspended or terminated, then the reinvestment purchase price will be the NAV per share. Shares issued pursuant to the CCT II distribution reinvestment plan will have the same voting rights as otherwise purchased shares of CCT II Common Stock.
If such CCT II shareholder is a registered shareholder, such shareholder may elect to have its entire distribution reinvested in shares of additional stock by notifying DST Systems, Inc., the reinvestment agent and CCT II’s transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the reinvestment agent no later than the record date for distributions to shareholders. If such CCT II shareholder elects to reinvest such shareholder’s distributions in additional shares of stock, the reinvestment agent will set up an account for shares such shareholder acquires through the plan and will hold such shares innon-certificated form. If such shareholder’s shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, such shareholder may“opt-in” to CCT II’s distribution reinvestment plan by notifying its broker or other financial intermediary of its election.
During each quarter, but in no event later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, CCT II’s transfer agent or another designated agent will mail and/or make electronically available to each participant in the distribution reinvestment plan, a statement of account describing, as to such participant, the distributions received during such quarter, the number of shares of CCT II Common Stock purchased during such quarter, and the per share purchase price for such shares. Annually, as required by the Code, CCT II will include tax information for income earned on shares under the distribution reinvestment plan on a Form1099-DIV that is mailed to shareholders subject to IRS tax reporting. CCT II reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested through the issuance of shares through CCT II’s distribution reinvestment plan will increase CCT II’s gross assets on which the management fee and the incentive fee are determined and paid under the CCT II Investment Advisory Agreement.
A new registered stockholder will be able to elect to receive a distribution in cash by notifying the plan administrator, in writing, so long as notice is received by the plan administrator no later than 15 business days prior to the last day of the calendar month. New stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may be able to receive distribution in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.
All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at 430 W. 7th Street, Ste. 219984, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 or by telephone at (844)857-4557.
The distribution reinvestment plan may be terminated or suspended from time to time by CCT II upon notice in writing mailed to each participant or by including the notice in a Form8-K filed with the SEC, in each case at least three days prior to any record date for the payment of any distribution by CCT II.
405
COMPARISON OF FSIC II, FSIC III, CCT II AND FSIC IV DISTRIBUTION, PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
The Fund Parties have identical distribution, purchase and redemption procedures. None of the Fund Parties offers redemption rights with respect to their common stock, and FSIC II does not expect that the combined company will offer such redemption rights following the closing of the Mergers. FSIC II anticipates that the combined company will maintain the distribution, purchase and redemption procedures of FSIC II following the closing of the Mergers.
Distribution Procedures
Each of the Fund Parties has elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain RIC tax treatment, each of the Fund Parties must, among other things, make distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount at least equal to 90% of FSIC II’s investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, each tax year. Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of their respective boards of directors or boards of trustees, as applicable, each of the Fund Parties intends to declare and pay regular cash distributions on a regular basis.
Purchase Procedures
Registered Offerings and Private Placements
From time to time, each of the Fund Parties may offer shares of its common stock in registered offerings under the Securities Act. On January 24, 2018, the SEC declared effective shelf registration statements initially filed by each of FSIC III and FSIC IV. As of the date of this Registration Statement, none of the Fund Parties has an effective registration statement on file with the SEC.
In addition, each of the Fund Parties may from time to time offer shares its common stock in private placements exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Each of the Fund Parties has adopted distribution reinvestment plans, which provide for the reinvestment of the applicable fund’s distributions on behalf of such Fund Party’s stockholders. For more information on such distribution reinvestment plans, see “FSIC II Distribution Reinvestment Plan,” “FSIC III and FSIC IV Distribution Reinvestment Plans” and “Corporate Capital Trust II Distribution Reinvestment Plan.”
Redemption/Repurchase Procedures
Subject to restrictions under applicable law and the Merger Agreement, each of the Fund Parties may from time to time offer to repurchase its common stock from all or certain stockholders.
406
REGULATION OF THE FUND PARTIES
The Fund Parties have each elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between BDCs and their affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters. The 1940 Act requires that a majority of each Fund Party’s directors or trustees, as applicable, be persons other than “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that each Fund Party may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless approved by a majority of its outstanding voting securities.
The 1940 Act defines “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of such Fund Party’s outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (ii) 50% of such Fund Party’s voting securities.
The Fund Parties will generally not be able to issue and sell shares of their common stock at a price per share, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, that is below its NAV per share. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Business Development Companies—Regulations governing the Fund Parties’ operation as BDCs and RICs will affect their ability to raise, and the way in which they raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on their growth.” The Fund Parties may, however, sell shares of common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire common stock, at a price below the then-current NAV of such Fund Party’s common stock if the applicable board of directors or trustees determines that such sale is in such Fund Party’s best interests and the best interests of such Fund Party’s stockholders, and such Fund Party’s stockholders approve such sale.
As BDCs, the Fund Parties are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making their investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 transactions where price is the only negotiated term.
Qualifying Assets
Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to the Fund Parties’ businesses are any of the following:
| 1. | Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions) is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which: |
| a. | is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States; |
| b. | is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and |
| c. | satisfies any of the following: |
| i. | does not have any class of securities that is traded on a national securities exchange; |
| ii. | has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, but has an aggregate market value of outstanding voting andnon-voting common equity of less than $250 million; |
| iii. | is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or |
| iv. | is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4.0 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2.0 million. |
| 2. | Securities of any eligible portfolio company that the Fund Party controls. |
| 3. | Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities, was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lending or financing arrangements. |
407
| 4. | Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and such Fund Party, already own 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company. |
| 5. | Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the exercise of warrants or rights relating to such securities. |
| 6. | Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. |
In addition, a BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) above.
Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies
In order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, such Fund Party must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance; except that, if such Fund Party purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group may make available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.
Temporary Investments
Pending investment in other types of “qualifying assets,” as described above, the Fund Parties’ investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which the Fund Parties refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of the Fund Parties’ assets are qualifying assets. Typically, the Fund Parties will invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as a Fund Party, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of a Fund Party’s assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of a Fund Party’s total assets, as applicable, constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, such Fund Party would not meet the Diversification Tests in order to maintain such Fund Party’s qualification as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes as described above under “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers and the Recapitalization Transaction—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of an Investment in FSIC II Common Stock or FSIC III Common Stock—Taxation as a RIC.” Thus, the Fund Parties do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. The Advisor will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which the Fund Parties enter into repurchase agreement transactions.
Senior Securities
The Fund Parties are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of debt and one class of stock senior to its common stock if its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, such Fund Party must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to its stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless it meets the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. The Fund Parties may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of its total assets for temporary purposes without regard to asset coverage. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Debt Financing” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Business Development Companies.”
Code of Ethics
The Fund Parties and the Advisor have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule17j-1 promulgated under the 1940 Act that, among other things, establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the codes may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by a Fund Party, so long as such investments are made in accordance with each code’s requirements. You may read and copy each Fund Party’s code of ethics and the Advisor’s code of ethics on the Fund Parties’ website atwww.fsinvestments.com and on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site atwww.sec.gov. You may also obtain a copy of each code of ethics, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the followinge-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov.
408
Compliance Policies and Procedures
The Fund Parties and the Advisor have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the federal securities laws and are required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation. Each Fund Party’s chief compliance officer and the chief compliance officer of the Advisor are responsible for administering these policies and procedures.
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
The Fund Parties have delegated their proxy voting responsibility to the Advisor. The proxy voting policies and procedures of the Advisor are set forth below. The guidelines are reviewed periodically by the Advisor, and each Fund Party’s respective independent directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change.
As an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, the Advisor has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, it recognizes that it must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of its clients. These policies and procedures for voting proxies for the investment advisory clients of the Advisor are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule206(4)-6 promulgated under, the Advisers Act.
The Advisor will vote proxies relating to each Fund Party’s securities in the best interest of its clients’ stockholders. It will review on acase-by-case basis each proposal submitted for a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by its clients. Although the Advisor will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on its clients’ portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exists compelling long-term reasons to do so.
The proxy voting decisions of the Advisor are made by the senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of its clients’ investments. To ensure that its vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, it will require that: (a) anyone involved in the decision-making process disclose to its chief compliance officer any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (b) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how the Advisor intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.
You may obtain information, without charge, regarding how the Advisor voted proxies with respect to the Fund Parties’ portfolio securities by making a written request for proxy voting information to the Chief Compliance Officer of the applicable Fund Party at: 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112 or by calling collect at(215) 495-1150 or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Other
The Fund Parties will be periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.
The Fund Parties are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect it against larceny and embezzlement. Furthermore, as BDCs, the Fund Parties are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to such Fund Party or its respective stockholders arising from willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office.
Securities Exchange Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliance
The Fund Parties are subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, including the filing of quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other required items. In addition, the Fund Parties are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect each of the Fund Parties. For example:
| • | | pursuant to Rule13a-14 promulgated under the Exchange Act, each Fund Party’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are required to certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in such Fund Party’s periodic reports; |
| • | | pursuant to Item 307 of RegulationS-K promulgated under the Securities Act, each Fund Party’s periodic reports are required to disclose such Fund Party’s conclusions about the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures; |
| • | | pursuant to Rule13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act, each Fund Party’s management is required to prepare a report regarding its assessment of such Fund Party’s internal control over financial reporting; and |
409
| • | | pursuant to Item 308 of RegulationS-K promulgated under the Securities Act, each Fund Party’s auditors must attest to, and report on, such Fund Party’s management’s assessment of such Fund Party’s internal control over financial reporting. |
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires each of the Fund Parties to review their current policies and procedures to determine whether it complies with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Fund Parties monitor their compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and take actions necessary to ensure that they are in compliance therewith.
410
CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AND DISTRIBUTION PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR OF THE FUND PARTIES
The Fund Parties’ securities are each held under a custody agreement by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The address of the custodian is: One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111. DST Systems, Inc. acts as the Fund Parties’ transfer agent, distribution paying agent and registrar for their respective common stock. The principal business address of DST Systems, Inc. is 430 W. 7th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105-1594, telephone number:(877) 628-8575.
411
BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
Since FSIC II intends to generally acquire and dispose of its investments in privately negotiated transactions, FSIC II expects to use brokers in the normal course of its business infrequently. Subject to policies established by the FSIC II Board, the Advisor is primarily responsible for the execution of the publicly-traded securities portion of FSIC II’s portfolio transactions and the allocation of brokerage commissions. The Advisor does not execute transactions through any particular broker or dealer, but seeks to obtain the best net results for FSIC II, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of the transaction, difficulty of execution and operational facilities of the firm and the firm’s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities. While the Advisor will generally seek reasonably competitive trade execution costs, FSIC II will not necessarily pay the lowest spread or commission available. Subject to applicable legal requirements, the Advisor may select a broker based partly upon brokerage or research services provided to it and FSIC II and any other clients. In return for such services, FSIC II may pay a higher commission than other brokers would charge if the Advisor determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided.
412

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation II, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on July 13, 2011 and formally commenced investment operations on June 18, 2012. 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 March 31, 2019, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special purpose financing subsidiaries and 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 March 31, 2019. 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. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. On April 9, 2018, GSO/Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, resigned as the investment sub-adviser to the Company and terminated the investment sub-advisory agreement, or the investment sub-advisory agreement, between FSIC II Advisor, LLC, or FSIC II Advisor, and GDFM, effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM’s resignation as the investment sub-adviser to the Company, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated February 8, 2012, or the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC II Advisor.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-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, 2018 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946,Financial Services—Investment Companies.
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 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.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of
F-29
FS Investment Corporation II
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the investment advisory and administrative services 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 each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds of non-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75% (1.875% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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 on non-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 from non-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 be written-off. Payments received on non-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
F-30
FS Investment Corporation II
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. Structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $6,105 in structuring fee revenue. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Derivative Instruments: The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative instruments included interest rate swaps.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on its financial statements.

| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |
| • | | the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size; |

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)
Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 8, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
Under the Company’s share repurchase program, the Company intends to offer to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.
The following table provides information concerning the Company’s repurchases of shares of common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Compensation of the Investment Adviser
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor determines. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC II Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% 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. Effective March 5, 2015, FSIC II Advisor had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investment sub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC II Advisor under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor oversees the Company’s day-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. The 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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), and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, for providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

The Advisor and FSIC II Advisor | | FS/KKR Advisor Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement and FSIC II Advisor Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement | | Administrative Services Expenses(3) | | $ | 907 | | | $ | 782 | |
(1) | FSIC II Advisor agreed, effective March 5, 2015, to permanently waive a portion of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. As a result, the amount shown for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is net of waivers of $3,154. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $17,256 and $22,595, respectively, in base management fees were paid to FSIC II Advisor and the Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, $17,864 in base management fees were payable to the Advisor. |
(2) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $5,796 and $19,129, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to the Advisor and FSIC II Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $11,131 was payable to the Advisor. |
(3) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $534 and $588, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by the Advisor and FSIC II Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses, including reimbursement of fees related to transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. Broken deal costs were $77 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company paid $773 and $547 in administrative services expenses to the Advisor and FSIC II Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV, and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted to co-invest 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, simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated term.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
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, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FSIC II Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC II Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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 the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company declared and paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |
For the Three Months Ended | | Per Share | | | Amount | |
Fiscal 2018 | | | | | | | | |

Total | | $ | 0.1885 | | | $ | 61,114 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On February 19, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for April 2019 through June 2019 and July 2019 through September 2019, respectively, each in the amount of $0.06283 per share. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.
Under the Company’s DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the Company’s DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
proceeds from the sale of assets, gains from interest rate swaps, 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 Form 1099-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 following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 94.0% and 94.7%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.9% and 1.1%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount and 4.1% and 4.2%, respectively, was attributable to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest. |
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $59,367 and $59,524, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $56,281 and $58,028, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and $214,125 and $194,360, respectively, of accumulated capital losses on a tax basis.
The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-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 computing tax-basis net investment income and income recognized for tax purposes on certain transactions but not recognized for GAAP purposes.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
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 Form 1099-DIV.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2019 (Unaudited) | | | December 31, 2018 | |

(1) | Net capital losses recognized may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term losses. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains of $541 and $213,584, respectively. |
(2) | As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments and gain on foreign currency was $158,062 and $135,578, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments and loss on foreign currency was $(412,546) and $423,020, respectively. |
The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $4,884,591 and $4,647,131 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on a tax basis was $(249,772) and $(287,851) as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax liability of $9,092 resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries and a deferred tax asset of $21,051 resulting from net operating losses and other tax attributes of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2019, 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 $11,959. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.

Note 6. Investment Portfolio (continued)
In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company did not “control” any of its portfolio companies.

Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Company and a counterparty. Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Company makes fixed-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by dealing only with well-known counterparties.
The interest rate swaps open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s open interest rate swaps were as follows:

Note 8. 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.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | |
Valuation Inputs | | March 31, 2019 (Unaudited) | | December 31, 2018 |
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets | | $ | 663 | | | $ | 517 | |
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs | | | 869,552 | | | | 906,192 | |
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs | | | 3,764,603 | | | | 3,452,571 | |

The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Debt investments, for which broker quotes are not available, are valued by independent valuation firms, which determine the fair

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically values its other investments and interest rate swaps 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms 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. 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.
The following is a reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

(1) | Certain investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. |
(2) | For the assets and investments that have more than one valuation technique, the Company may rely on the stated techniques individually or in the aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each valuation technique, ranging from 0–100%. Indicative dealer quotes obtained for valuation purposes are reviewed by the Company relative to other valuation techniques. |
(3) | Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values. |
(4) | This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |
(5) | Fair value based on expected outcome of proposed corporate transactions and/or other factors. |

(1) | Investments using a market quotes valuation technique were primarily 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. Investments valued using an EBITDA multiple or a revenue multiple pursuant to the market comparables valuation technique may be conducted using an enterprise valuation waterfall analysis. 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. |

(3) | The per share data for distributions reflects 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 distribution reinvestment plan. 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. |
(5) | The per share impact of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the period. |

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.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements, management has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013 (“COSO”).

Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FS Investment Corporation II
Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited FS Investment Corporation II’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of FS Investment Corporation II as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and our report dated March 19, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FS Investment Corporation II as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), FS Investment Corporation II’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 19, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation II, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on July 13, 2011 and formally commenced investment operations on June 18, 2012. 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 December 31, 2018, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The audited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 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. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 FSIC II Advisor, LLC, or FSIC II 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated February 8, 2012, or the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC II Advisor.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. 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 audited 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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments: The Company determines the fair value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the Company’s 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure , or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | the Company’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | the valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with its 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 the Company’s board of directors approve the fair valuations; and |
| • | | the Company’s board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the Advisor, the valuation committee and any independent third-party valuation services, if applicable. |
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the Company’s board of directors may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the Company’s 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the Company’s board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of directors may consider when determining the fair value of the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s debt investments.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
The Company’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Company’s board of directors, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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 the Company’s board of directors, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of the Company’s 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 the Company receives 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. The Company’s board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The Company’s board of directors has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing its valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the Company’s board of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC Topic 606, using 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 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 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 year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $8,674 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 prior to January 1, 2018, under which the Company recorded structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees as income when earned. The Company has determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the amount of revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018.
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. The Company measures 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.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, 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 investment advisory and administrative services 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 each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds ofnon-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the 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% (1.875% under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income.
Income Taxes: The Company 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. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as well as distribute to its stockholders, for each tax year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid. As a RIC, the Company will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year and to not pay any U.S. federal income taxes on income so distributed. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no U.S. federal income taxes. The Company accrued $2,483, $2,190 and $1,968 in estimated excise taxes payable in respect of income received during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $2,585, $1,825 and $2,069, respectively, in excise and other taxes.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates its 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 the Company’s 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. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax for uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Distributions: Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to the restrictions and discretion of the Company’s board of directors and applicable legal restrictions, the Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.
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 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 9 for additional information.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.
Derivative Instruments: The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13,Fair Value Measurement—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:
| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |
| • | | the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size; |

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)
| • | | the Company’s history in repurchasing shares of common stock or portions thereof; and |
| • | | the condition of the securities markets. |
Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 8, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
Under the Company’s share repurchase program, the Company intends to offer to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Compensation of the Investment Adviser
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the adviser shall determine. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC II Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% 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. Effective March 5, 2015, FSIC II Advisor had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive

fees payable to FSIC II Advisor under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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. The 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, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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) and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, for providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

(1) | FSIC II Advisor agreed, effective March 5, 2015, to permanently waive a portion of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC II Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets. As a result, the amounts shown for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are net of waivers of $3,432, $12,853 and $12,211, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, $80,901, $88,989 and $85,394, respectively, in base management fees were paid to FSIC II Advisor and the Advisor.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 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 certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of

FSIC II Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC II Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.

The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On November 6, 2018 and February 19, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for January 2019 through March 2019 and April 2019 through June 2019, respectively, each in the amount of $0.06283 per share. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.
Under the Company’s DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the Company’s DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, gains from interest rate swaps,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 Form

(1) | During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 94.5%, 93.2% and 92.3%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.6%, 1.9% and 2.7%, respectively, was attributable tonon-cash accretion of discount and 3.9%, 4.9% and 5.0%, respectively, was attributable topaid-in-kind, or PIK, interest. |
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $232,110, $258,183 and $249,910, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $58,028 and $70,483 of undistributed net investment income and $194,360 and $202,496 of accumulated capital losses on a tax basis.
The Company’s undistributed net investment income on a tax basis as of December 31, 2017 was adjusted following the filing of the Company’s 2017 tax return in October 2018. The adjustment was primarily due totax-basis income received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017 exceeding GAAP-basis income on account of certain collateralized securities and interests in partnerships held in its investment portfolio during such period. The tax notices for such collateralized securities and interests in partnerships were received by the Company subsequent to the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
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 aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on a tax basis was $(287,851) and $(19,479) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a deferred tax liability of $5,310 resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries and a deferred tax asset of $21,093 resulting from net operating losses and capital losses of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018, the 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 $15,783. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments
The Company has derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements. These agreements include provisions to offset positions with the same counterparty in the event of default by one of the parties. The Company’s unrealized appreciation and depreciation on derivative instruments are reported as gross assets and liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities related to derivatives by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting arrangement and net of any collateral received or pledged by the Company for such assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018:

(3) | Net amount of derivative liabilities represents the net amount due from the Company to the counterparty in the event of default. |
Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Company and a counterparty. Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Company makes fixed-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event ofnon-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by dealing only with well-known counterparties.
The interest rate swaps open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company��s open interest rate swaps were as follows:

Note 8. 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.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s investments and interest rate swaps were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

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 Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were 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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms 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. 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.
The following is a reconciliation for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

(A) if the value of the borrowing base is equal to or greater than 1.85 times the aggregate amount of certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company, or the Combined Debt Amount, is payable at an “alternate base rate” (which is the greatest of (a) the prime rate as publicly announced by JPMorgan, (b) the sum of (x) the greater of (I) the federal funds effective rate and (II) the overnight bank funding rate plus (y) 0.5%, and (c) the one month LIBOR plus 1% per annum) plus 1.00% and, (B) if the value of the borrowing base is less than 1.85 times the Combined Debt Amount, the alternate base rate plus 1.25%; and (ii) loans for which the Company elects the Eurocurrency option (A) if the value of the borrowing base is equal to or greater than 1.85 times the Combined Debt Amount, is payable at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% and (B) if the value of the borrowing base is less than 1.85 times the Combined Debt Amount, is payable at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Company will pay anon-usage fee of at least 0.375% and up to 0.50% per annum (based on the immediately preceding quarter’s average usage) on the unused portion of its sublimit under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility during the revolving period. The Company also will be required to pay letter of credit participation fees and a fronting fee on the average daily amount of any lender’s exposure with respect to any letters of credit issued under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
In connection with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and must comply with various covenants and reporting requirements customary for facilities of this type. In addition, the Company must comply with the following financial covenants: (a) the Company must maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity, measured as of each fiscal quarter end; and (b) the Company must maintain at all times a 200% asset coverage ratio.
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, JPMorgan, at the instruction of the lenders, may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
The Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors thereunder.
The Company incurred costs in connection with obtaining the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs, along with $131 of unamortized fees from the FSIC II Revolving Credit Facility, on its consolidated balance sheets and which the company amortizes to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of December 31, 2018, $4,415 of such deferred financing costs 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 December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a secured borrowing at fair value of $8,273, respectively, and the fair value of the loan that is associated with the secured borrowing was $43,099. 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 year ended December 31, 2017, the secured borrowing was fully repaid.

Note 12. Financial Highlights (continued)
(6) | The total return based on net asset value for each year presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable year, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the applicable calendar year and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable year. 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. |
(7) | Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014: |

Ratio of interest expense to average net assets | | | 3.78 | % | | | 2.97 | % | | | 2.57 | % | | | 2.13 | % | | | 1.16 | % |

In addition, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swap and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset ornon-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 85.1% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of March 31, 2019. |

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation III, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 7, 2013 and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. 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 March 31, 2019, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. One of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is 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. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 FSIC III Advisor, LLC, or FSIC III 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an amended and restated investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated August 6, 2014, or the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC III Advisor.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-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, 2018 included in the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946,Financial Services—Investment Companies .
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 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.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, 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 investment advisory and administrative services 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 each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
The Company “looks through” its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary Center City Funding LLC, or Center City Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. Under this methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to the Company had the Company held the loans underlying the TRS directly is treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on individual loans underlying the TRS further reduces the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor with respect to realized gains. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds ofnon-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the 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% (1.875% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% ofpre-incentive fee net investment income.
Reclassifications : Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $6,095 in structuring fee revenue. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Derivative Instruments : The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative instruments included interest rate swaps.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)-Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU2018-13.ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ofASU 2018-13 on its financial statements.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:
| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |
| • | | the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size; |
| • | | the Company’s history in repurchasing shares of common stock or portions thereof; and |
| • | | the condition of the securities markets. |
Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 10, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of its common stock on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of its common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser and Dealer Manager
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest, and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor determines. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC III Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly 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. Effective February 3, 2017, FSIC III Advisor contractually had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC III Advisor under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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. The 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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, and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
The following table describes the fees and expenses the Company accrued under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, as applicable, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

(1) | FSIC III Advisor contractually agreed, effective February 3, 2017, to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s weekly gross assets. As a result, the amount shown for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is net of waivers of $2,385. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $13,300 and $17,015, respectively, in base management fees were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC III Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, $14,870 in base management fees were payable to the Advisor. |
(2) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $9,525 and $14,487, respectively, of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC III Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, a subordinated incentive fee on income of $12,108 was payable to the Advisor. |
(3) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $444 and $668, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by FSIC III Advisor and the Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses, including reimbursement of fees related to transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. Broken deal costs were $66 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company paid $646 and $465 in administrative services expenses to FSIC III Advisor and the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation IV and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 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 certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FSIC III Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC III Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company declared and paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |
For the Three Months Ended | | Per Share | | | Amount | |
Fiscal 2018 | | | | | | | | |

Fiscal 2019 | | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2019 | | $ | 0.17499 | | | $ | 50,467 | |
The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On February 19, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for April 2019 through June 2019 and July 2019 through September 2019, respectively, each in the amount of $0.058331 per share. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as
F-142
FS Investment Corporation III
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.
On October 13, 2017, the Company amended and restated its DRP, or the amended DRP, which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the original DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the amended DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale 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. No portion of the distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments.
The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $51,311 and $52,104, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $6,920 and $6,076, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and $138,493 and $96,629, 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 for tax purposes, the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the TRS intax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the TRS.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income andtax-basis net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(2) | As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments, secured borrowing and TRS and gain on foreign currency was $160,460 and $129,945, respectively, and the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments, secured borrowing and TRS and loss on foreign currency was $341,888 and $359,056, respectively. |
The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $3,843,438 and $3,815,892 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on a tax basis was $(171,880) and $(204,609) as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1,444 comprised of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiary’s unrealized depreciation on investments, net operating loss carryforward and capital loss carryforward. As of March 31, 2019, the wholly-owned taxable subsidiary anticipated that it would be unable to fully utilize the components of the deferred tax assets, therefore, the deferred tax assets were offset by valuation allowance of $1,444, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Company and a counterparty. Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Company makes fixed-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event ofnon-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by dealing only with well-known counterparties.
The interest rate swaps open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s open interest rate swaps were as follows:

Note 8. 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.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Valuation Inputs | | March 31, 2019 (Unaudited) | | | December 31, 2018 | |
| | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | |

The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were 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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically values its other investments and interest rate swaps 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values the TRS in accordance with the agreements between Center City Funding and Citibank, that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee and the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the TRS.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms 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. 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.

(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 in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the DRP. The issuance of common stock at a price, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share. |

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 encounter 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 |

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited FS Investment Corporation III’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of FS Investment Corporation III as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and our report dated March 19, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2018, 84.3% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 9, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swap and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset ornon-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 83.7% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of December 31, 2018. |

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation III, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 7, 2013 and formally commenced investment operations on April 2, 2014. In November 2017, the Company closed its continuous public offering of common stock to new investors. 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 December 31, 2018, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. One of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is 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. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 FSIC III Advisor, LLC, or FSIC III 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an amended and restated investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated August 6, 2014, or the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC III Advisor.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. 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 audited 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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments: The Company determines the fair value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the Company’s 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | the Company’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | the valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with its 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 the Company’s board of directors approve the fair valuations; and |
| • | | the Company’s board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the Advisor, the valuation committee and any independent third-party valuation services, if applicable. |
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the Company’s board of directors may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the Company’s 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the Company’s board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of directors may consider when determining the fair value of the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s debt investments.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
The Company’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Company’s board of directors, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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 the Company’s board of directors, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of the Company’s 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 the Company receives 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. The Company’s board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The Company’s board of directors has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing its valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the Company’s board of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
The Company values its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Center City Funding LLC, or Center City, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in accordance with the agreements between Center City and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to
F-191
FS Investment Corporation III
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers , or ASC Topic 606, using 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 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 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 year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $5,477 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 prior to January 1, 2018, under which the Company recorded structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees as income when earned. The Company has determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the amount of revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018.
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. The Company measures 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.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital
F-192
FS Investment Corporation III
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
The Company “looks through” its total return swap, or TRS between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary Center City Funding LLC, or Center City Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. Under this methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to the Company had the Company held the loans underlying the TRS directly is treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on individual loans underlying the TRS further reduces the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor with respect to realized gains. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions paid to stockholders from proceeds ofnon-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the 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% (1.875% under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% ofpre-incentive fee net investment income.
Income Taxes: The Company 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. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as well as distribute to its stockholders, for each tax year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid. As a RIC, the Company will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year and to not pay any U.S. federal income taxes on income so distributed. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no U.S. federal income taxes. The Company accrued $102, $372 and $281 in estimated excise taxes payable in respect of income received during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $561, $332 and $260, respectively, in excise taxes.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates its 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 the Company’s 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. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax for uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Distributions: Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company currently intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, determined on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.
Offering Costs: Offering costs primarily included, among other things, marketing expenses and printing, legal and due diligence fees and other costs pertaining to the Company’s continuous public offering of shares of its common stock. Historically, the Company has charged offering costs against capital in excess of par value on its consolidated balance sheets. Following discussions with the Staff of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC, the Company changed its accounting treatment of offering costs to defer and amortize such costs to expense over twelve months. The Company evaluated this change in accounting treatment of offering costs, which it implemented effective January 1, 2016, and determined that it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Following the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering to new investors in November 2017, all deferred offering costs that had not been amortized were expensed.
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 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 9 for additional information.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.
Derivative Instruments: The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s instruments included interest rate swaps.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13, Fair Value Measurement-Disclosures Framework-Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,

beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.

During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 12, 2019, the Company issued 1,883,380 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, or DRP, for gross proceeds of $14,593 at an average price per share of $7.75.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:
| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |
| • | | the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size; |
| • | | the Company’s history in repurchasing shares of common stock or portions thereof; and |
| • | | the condition of the securities markets. |
Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 10, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock
F-195
FS Investment Corporation III
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)
that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of its common stock on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of its common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

(1) | On October 13, 2017, and in connection with the closing of its continuous public offering, the Company amended the terms of its share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017 to provide that shares repurchased under the program would be repurchased at a price determined as described above. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase common shares at a repurchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on the date of repurchase. |
On January 2, 2019, the Company repurchased 2,899,470 shares of common stock (representing 16% of the shares of common stock tendered for repurchase and 1.00% of the shares outstanding as of such date) at $7.75 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $22,471.
Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Compensation of the Investment Adviser and Dealer Manager
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the adviser shall determine. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC III Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly value of
F-197

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
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. Effective February 3, 2017, FSIC III Advisor contractually had agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC III Advisor under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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. The 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, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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) and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company, either directly or through reimbursement to FSIC III Advisor or its affiliates, was responsible for its organization and offering costs in an amount up to 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in the Company’s continuous public offering. Organization and offering costs primarily included legal, accounting, printing and other expenses relating to the Company’s continuous public offering, including costs associated with technology integration between the Company’s systems and those of its selected broker-dealers, marketing expenses, salaries and direct expenses of FSIC III Advisor’s personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock, which included the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.
Prior to satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement and for a period of time thereafter, FS Investments funded certain of the Company’s organization and offering costs. Following this period, the Company has paid certain of its organization and offering costs directly and reimbursed FSIC III Advisor for offering costs incurred by FSIC III Advisor on the Company’s behalf, including marketing expenses, salaries and other direct expenses of FSIC III Advisor’s personnel and

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
employees of its affiliates while engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s shares of common stock. Organization and offering costs funded directly by FS Investments were recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value on the consolidated financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by the Company. All other offering costs, including costs incurred directly by the Company, amounts reimbursed to FSIC III Advisor for ongoing offering costs and any reimbursements paid to FS Investments for organization and offering costs previously funded, were recorded as a reduction of capital. Commencing January 1, 2016, offering costs incurred by the Company were deferred and amortized to expense over twelve months. Following the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering to new investors in November 2017, all deferred offering costs were expensed (see Note 2).
The dealer manager for the Company’s continuous public offering was FS Investment Solutions, LLC, or FS Investment Solutions, which is one of the Company’s affiliates. Prior to the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering, the dealer manager was entitled under the dealer manager agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013, by and among the Company, FSIC III Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, or the dealer manager agreement, to receive selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering, all or a portion of which could bere-allowed to selected broker-dealers. In February 2016, the Company closed its continuous public offering to investors investing through the IBD Channel, or the IBD Channel closing. As used herein, the IBD Channel refers to sales of shares of the Company’s common stock through broker-dealers (other than the dealer manager) that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and other properly licensed financial securities firms whose contracts for investment advisory and related services do not include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, and who are collectively referred to herein as selected broker-dealers. Historically, sales through the IBD Channel constituted the majority of shares sold in the Company’s continuous public offering. Prior to the IBD Channel closing, shares of the Company’s common stock in its continuous public offering were subject to a sales load of up to 10.0% of the public offering price, which consisted of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of up to 7.0% and 3.0%, respectively, of the public offering price. Following the IBD Channel closing, the dealer manager waived its right to receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees in connection with shares of the Company’s common stock sold pursuant to its continuous public offering and, as a result, no selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid to the dealer manager from that date forward. The price at which shares of the Company’s common stock were sold following the IBD Channel closing is referred to as the institutional offering price. The dealer manager agreement terminated in connection with the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering in November 2017.
The following table describes the fees and expenses the Company accrued under the FSIC III Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, as applicable, during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation IV and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 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 certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of

FSIC III Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC III Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.
FS Benefit Trust
FS Benefit Trust, or FS Trust, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust for the purpose of awarding equity incentive compensation to employees of FS Investments and its affiliates. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, FS Trust purchased $216 and $203, respectively, of the Company’s shares at a purchase price per share of $8.64 and $8.10, respectively, which price is equal to the institutional offering price in effect on the date of purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2018, FS Trust did not purchase any of the Company’s shares.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company declared on its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |
For the Year Ended December 31, | | Per Share | | | Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 0.70000 | | | $ | 183,009 | |
2017 | | $ | 0.70000 | | | $ | 196,760 | |
2018 | | $ | 0.70000 | | | $ | 201,938 | |
Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company currently intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pays such distributions on a monthly basis to stockholders of record, as determined on a monthly basis. On November 6, 2018 and February 19, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for January 2019 through March 2019 and April 2019 through June 2019, respectively. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors in the amount of $0.058331 per 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.
On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan, or the amended distribution reinvestment plan, which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the original distribution reinvestment plan, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the institutional offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the amended distribution reinvestment plan, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will remain taxable to a U.S. shareholder.

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 following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company paid on its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

(1) | During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 90.4%, 91.6% and 92.1%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.3%, 1.6% and 2.6%, respectively, was attributable tonon-cash accretion of discount and 8.3%, 6.8% and 5.3%, respectively, was attributable to PIK interest. |
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $189,821, $202,004 and $182,509, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $6,076 and $17,339, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and $96,629 and $54,075, respectively, of accumulated capital losses on a tax basis.
The Company’s undistributed net investment income on a tax basis as of December 31, 2017 was adjusted following the filing of the Company’s 2017 tax return in October 2018. The adjustment was primarily due totax-basis income received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017 exceeding GAAP-basis income on account of interests in partnerships. The tax notices for such interests in partnerships were received by the Company subsequent to the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
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 for tax purposes, the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the TRS intax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the TRS andnon-deductible offering costs.

The Company may make certain adjustments to the classification of stockholders’ equity as a result of permanentbook-to-tax differences. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company increased accumulated earnings (deficit) by $115 and reduced capital in excess of par value by $115. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased accumulated earnings (deficit) by $4,776 and reduced capital in excess of par value by $4,776.
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. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders are reported to stockholders annually on Form1099-DIV.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | |
| | 2018 | | | 2017 | |
Distributable ordinary income | | $ | 6,076 | | | $ | 18,192 | |
Other temporary differences | | | (172 | ) | | | (199 | ) |
Accumulated capital losses(1) | | | (96,629 | ) | | | (54,075 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, secured borrowing and total return swap(2) | | | (229,111 | ) | | | (104,583 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | (319,836 | ) | | $ | (140,665 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
(1) | Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term losses. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains of $0 and $96,629, respectively. |
(2) | As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments and TRS was $129,945 and $65,093, respectively, and the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments and TRS was $359,056 and $168,852, respectively. |
The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments, including the accretion of discount on the TRS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $3,815,892 and $3,441,720 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis, including the Company’s TRS, was $(204,609) and $(103,759) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had deferred tax liabilities of $0 and $0, respectively, resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiary and deferred tax assets of $1,184 and $1,384, respectively, resulting from net operating losses of the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiary. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the wholly-owned taxable subsidiary anticipated that it would be unable to fully utilize its generated net operating losses, therefore the deferred tax assets were offset by valuation allowances of $1,184 and $1,384, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary.

Note 7. Financial Instruments (continued)
floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event ofnon-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by dealing only with well-known counterparties.
The interest rate swaps open at the end of the period are generally indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s open interest rate swaps were as follows:

Note 8. 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.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2018 | | | December 31, 2017 | |
Valuation Inputs | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | |
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets | | $ | 1,191 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,665 | | | $ | — | |
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs | | | 1,013,082 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs | | | 2,597,010 | | | | (22,062 | ) | | | 3,335,861 | | | | (3,756 | ) |

The Company has elected the fair value option under ASC Topic 825,Financial Instruments , or ASC Topic 825, relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value for its secured borrowing 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 Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were 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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically values its other investments and interest rate swaps 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values the TRS in accordance with the agreements between Center City Funding and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee and the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the TRS.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers, and independent valuation firms 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. 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, with the exception of investments in the TRS, which was valued by using the bid price from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Investments valued using an EBITDA multiple or a revenue multiple pursuant to the market comparables valuation technique may be conducted using an enterprise valuation waterfall analysis. 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. |

Goldman Facility
On June 18, 2015, the Company, through its two wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiaries, Germantown Funding LLC, or Germantown Funding and Society Hill Funding LLC, or Society Hill Funding, entered into a debt financing arrangement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or Goldman, pursuant to which up to $300,000 is available to the Company. The Company elected to structure the financing in the manner described more fully below in order to, among other things, obtain such financing at a lower cost than would be available through alternative arrangements.
The Company may sell and/or contribute assets to Germantown Funding from time to time pursuant to an amended and restated sale and contribution agreement, dated as of June 18, 2015, between the Company and Germantown Funding, or the sale and contribution agreement. The assets held by Germantown Funding secure the obligations of Germantown Funding under floating rate notes, or the notes issued from time to time by Germantown Funding to Society Hill Funding pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 18, 2015, with Citibank, as trustee, or the indenture. Pursuant to the indenture, the aggregate principal amount of notes that may be issued by Germantown Funding from time to time is $500,000. Society Hill Funding has purchased the notes issued by Germantown Funding from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.
Interest on the notes under the indenture will accrue at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.00% per annum. Principal and any unpaid interest on the notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of October 15, 2027.
Society Hill Funding, in turn, has entered into a repurchase transaction with Goldman, pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase agreement and the related annex and master confirmation thereto, each dated as of June 18, 2015 and effective as of July 15, 2015, or collectively, the Goldman Facility. Pursuant to the Goldman Facility, from time to time, Goldman has purchased notes held by Society Hill Funding for an aggregate purchase price equal to 60% of the principal amount of notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of notes that may be purchased under the Goldman Facility is $500,000. Accordingly, the aggregate maximum amount made available under the Goldman Facility will not exceed $300,000.
Society Hill Funding will repurchase the notes sold to Goldman under the Goldman Facility no later than July 15, 2019. The repurchase price paid by Society Hill Funding to Goldman will be equal to the purchase price paid by Goldman for the repurchased notes, plus financing fees accrued at the applicable pricing rate under the Goldman Facility. Up until November 15, 2015, financing fees were accrued on the aggregate purchase price paid by Goldman for such notes. Thereafter, financing fees have accrued, and will continue to accrue, on $300,000 (even if the aggregate purchase price paid for notes purchased by Goldman at that time is less than that amount), unless and until the outstanding amount is reduced in accordance with the terms of the Goldman Facility. If the Goldman Facility is accelerated prior to July 15, 2019 due to an event of default or the failure of Germantown Funding to commit to sell any underlying assets that become defaulted obligations within 30 days, then Society Hill Funding must pay to Goldman a fee equal to the present value of the aggregate amount of the financing fees that would have been payable to Goldman from the date of acceleration through July 15, 2019 had the acceleration not occurred. The financing fee under the Goldman Facility is equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of up to 2.50% per annum for the relevant period.
Goldman may require Society Hill Funding to post cash collateral if the market value of the notes (measured by reference to the market value of Germantown Funding’s portfolio of assets), together with any posted cash collateral, is less than the required margin amount under the Goldman Facility; provided, however, that Society Hill Funding will not be required to post cash collateral with Goldman until such market value has declined at least 10% from the initial market value of the notes. In

Note 9. Financing Arrangements (continued)
addition, if the market value of any underlying asset held in Germantown Funding’s portfolio of assets is less than 70% of the initial market value of such underlying asset, Goldman may require Society Hill Funding to post additional cash collateral in an amount equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance of such underlying asset. In each such event, in order to satisfy these requirements, Society Hill Funding intends to borrow funds from the Company pursuant to an uncommitted revolving credit agreement, dated as of June 18, 2015, between Society Hill Funding, as borrower, and the Company, as lender, or the revolving credit agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Society Hill Funding pursuant to the terms of the revolving credit agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement may not exceed $300,000 and will accrue interest at a rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.
Under the Goldman Facility, Society Hill Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. The Goldman Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including: (a) failure to transfer the Notes to Goldman on the applicable purchase date or repurchase the Notes from Goldman on the applicable repurchase date; (b) failure to pay certain fees and make-whole amounts when due; (c) failure to post cash collateral as required; (d) the occurrence of insolvency events with respect to Society Hill Funding; and (e) the admission by Society Hill Funding of its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations under the Goldman Facility.
In connection with the notes and the indenture, Germantown Funding also entered into (i) an amended and restated investment management agreement with the Company, as investment manager, dated as of June 18, 2015, or the management agreement, pursuant to which the Company will manage the assets of Germantown Funding; and (ii) a collateral administration agreement with Virtus, as collateral administrator, dated as of June 18, 2015, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with respect to the assets of Germantown Funding.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, notes in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, had been purchased by Society Hill Funding from Germantown Funding and subsequently sold to Goldman under the Goldman Facility for aggregate proceeds of $300,000 and $300,000, respectively. The Company funded each purchase of the notes by Society Hill Funding through a capital contribution to Society Hill Funding. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Society Hill Funding’s liability under the Goldman Facility was $300,000 and $300,000, respectively, plus $3,209 and $2,476, respectively, of accrued interest expense. The notes issued by Germantown Funding and purchased by Society Hill Funding eliminate in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of assets held by Germantown Funding was $601,390 and $621,109, respectively.
The Company incurred costs in connection with obtaining the Goldman Facility, which the Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the Goldman Facility. As of December 31, 2018, $214 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.
Capital One Credit Facility
On July 16, 2018, in connection with the temporary upsize of the JPM Credit Facility, Chestnut Hill Funding LLC, or Chestnut Hill Funding, repaid and terminated the revolving credit facility, or the Capital One Credit Facility, with Capital One, National Association, or Capital One, as administrative agent, hedge counterparty, lead arranger and sole bookrunner, each of the conduit lenders and institutional lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo, as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, with FS KKR Capital Corp. (formerly FS Investment Corporation), or FSK, FS Investment Corporation II, or FSIC II, and prior to its merger with and into FSK, Corporate Capital Trust, Inc., JPM, as administrative agent, ING Capital LLC, or ING, as collateral agent and the lenders party thereto. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility provided for borrowings in U.S. dollars and certain agreed upon foreign currencies in an initial aggregate amount of up to $3,435,000, with an option for the Company to request, at one or more times, that existing or new lenders, at their election, provide up to $1,717,500 of additional commitments. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility initially provided for a sublimit available for the Company to borrow up to $650,000 of the total facility amount, subject to increase or reduction from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the oversight and approval of the Company’s board of directors. A sublimit of the total facility amount also is available to each of FSK and FSIC II, as additional borrowers, and the obligations of the other borrowers under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are several (and not joint) in all respects. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of the Company in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $25,000.

Availability under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on August 9, 2022, or the Revolver Termination Date, and the outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will mature on August 9, 2023. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events during theterm-out period commencing on the Revolver Termination Date.
The proceeds of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility initially drawn by the Company were used in part to prepay a portion of the loans outstanding as of August 9, 2018 under the JPM Credit Facility in connection with Jefferson Square’s reduction of the total amount of borrowings available under the JPM Credit Facility from $800,000 to $400,000.
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base test.

Citibank Total Return Swap
| | | | | | | | |
Counterparty | | Description | | Termination Date | | Value | |
Citibank | | A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during a specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. | | Citibank may terminate the TRS from any time on or after June 30, 2019. Center City Funding may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. | | $ | (22,062 | ) |
On June 26, 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Center City Funding LLC, or Center City Funding, entered into a TRS for a portfolio of primarily senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, which has subsequently been amended.
A TRS effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements. The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of Center City Funding, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Center City Funding borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.
The obligations of Center City Funding under the TRS arenon-recourse to the Company and its exposure under the TRS is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Center City Funding, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Center City Funding under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Center City Funding may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate notional amount (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $150,000. Center City Funding is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of the notional amount of each loan that becomes subject to the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements between Center City Funding and Citibank that collectively establish the TRS, or collectively, the TRS agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Center City Funding has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS.
Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that the Company has entered into with Center City Funding, the Company acts as the investment manager of the rights and obligations of Center City Funding under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS.
Each individual loan in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS agreement, including a requirement that substantially all of the loans underlying the TRS be rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Moody’s, and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, or S&P, and quoted by a nationally recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS.

respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Center City Funding pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal toone-month LIBOR plus 1.55% per annum on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS.
Under the terms of the TRS, Center City Funding may be required to post additional cash collateral, on adollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans below a specified amount. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Center City Funding is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans. The terms of the TRS with Citibank, the counter-party, incorporate a master netting arrangement. If Center City Funding enters into another derivative with the counter-party, it could be offset with the TRS. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no other contracts to offset the TRS. The Company has no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its equity investment in Center City Funding for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Center City Funding may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If the Company does not make any such additional investment in Center City Funding and Center City Funding fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Center City Funding under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS prior to the ramp-down period, Center City Funding would be required to pay an early termination fee. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments, based on the minimum utilization amount, which would be owed by Center City Funding to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including June 30, 2019. Such monthly payments will equal the present value of the product of (x) 80%, multiplied by (y) the maximum notional amount of the TRS ($150,000), multiplied by (z) 1.55% per annum, as applicable.
Center City Funding will be required to pay an early termination fee to Citibank if it elects to terminate the TRS at any time prior to June 30, 2019. Center City Funding is required to pay a minimum usage fee if less than 80% of the maximum notional amount of the TRS is utilized and an unused fee on any amounts unutilized if greater than 80% but less than 100% of the maximum notional amount of the TRS is utilized.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the TRS was $(22,062) and $(3,756), respectively, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the receivable due on the TRS was $1,071 and $1,107, respectively, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as receivable due on total return swap. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company posted $128,764 and $98,005, respectively, in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $119,616 and $80,867, respectively, was required to be posted). The cash collateral held by Citibank is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as due from counterparty. The Company does not offset collateral posted in relation to the TRS with any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, transactions in the TRS resulted in net realized gain (loss) on total return swap of $12,952, $24,011 and $15,785, respectively, and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap of $(18,306), $(15,159) and $37,330, respectively, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Center City Funding under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.
Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as anon-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Note 12. Financial Highlights (continued)
(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 in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common stock at a price, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share. |
(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 each period. |
(6) | The total return based on net asset value for each year presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable year, adding the cash distributions per share that were declared during the applicable calendar year and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable year. 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 encounter 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. |
(7) | Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and the period from April 2, 2014 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2014: |

Ratio of subordinated income incentive fees to average net assets | | | 1.52 | % | | | 1.70 | % | | | 1.87 | % | | | 1.40 | % | | | — | |
Ratio of interest expense to average net assets | | | 2.84 | % | | | 2.20 | % | | | 1.87 | % | | | 0.95 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
Ratio of offering costs to average net assets | | | — | | | | 0.14 | % | | | 0.06 | % | | | — | | | | — | |
(8) | Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. |

(a) | Security may be an obligation of one or more entities affiliated with the named company. |
(b) | Certain variable rate securities in the Company’s portfolio bear interest at a rate determined by a publicly disclosed base rate plus a basis point spread. As of March 31, 2019, the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR or “L,” was 2.60% and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, or “E”, was (0.31)%. PIK meanspaid-in-kind. |
(c) | Denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. |
(d) | Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 7). |
(e) | Security is an unfunded commitment. The stated rate reflects the spread disclosed at the time of commitment and may not indicate the actual rate received upon funding. |
(f) | Security or portion thereof held within Broomall Funding LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the prime brokerage facility with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc., or BNP. Securities held within Broomall Funding LLC may be rehypothecated from time to time as permitted underRule 15c-1(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, subject to the terms and conditions governing the prime brokerage facility with BNP (see Note 8). |
(g) | The investment is not a qualifying asset under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. As of March 31, 2019, 92.0% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 8, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swap and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset ornon-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 89.8% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of March 31, 2019. |
(h) | Position or portion thereof unsettled as of March 31, 2019. |
(i) | Security was onnon-accrual status as of March 31, 2019. |

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation IV, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on February 25, 2015 and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. In November 2017, the Company closed its continuous public offering of Class T common stock to new investors. 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 March 31, 2019, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and 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 March 31, 2019. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 FSIC IV Advisor, LLC, or FSIC IV 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated September 21, 2015, or the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC IV Advisor.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-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, 2018 included in the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946,Financial Services—Investment Companies.
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 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of
F-240
FS Investment Corporation IV
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the investment advisory and administrative services 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 each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees 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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
The Company “looks through” its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary Cheltenham Funding LLC, or Cheltenham Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. Under this methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to the Company had the Company held the loans underlying the TRS directly is treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on individual loans underlying the TRS further reduces the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor with respect to realized gains. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the 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% (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of thepre-incentive fee net investment income.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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
F-241

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $568 in structuring fee revenue. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , or ASU2018-13.ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.
Note 3. Share Transactions

For additional information regarding the terms of the DRP, see Note 5.
The Company has submitted to the SEC an application for an exemptive order to permit it to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock. On July 31, 2018, the Company filed a new registration statement to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock, with each class having a different upfront sales load and fee and expense structure. The Company may recommence this offering upon receipt of an exemptive order from the SEC, although there is no assurance that the Company will receive such relief.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:
| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |

Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 9, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of its common stock on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of its common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.

Compensation of the Investment Advisor
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor determines. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC IV Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly 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. Effective February 1, 2017, FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the Company’s average weekly gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC IV Advisor under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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. The 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, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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) and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same

ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Shares of Class T common stock are subject to annual distribution fees of 1.00% of the estimated value of such shares, as determined in accordance with applicable rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. The annual distribution fees is paid by the Company to FS Investment Solutions, LLC, or FS Investment Solutions or the dealer manager, pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by the Company in compliance with Rules12b-1 and17d-3 under the 1940 Act, as if those rules applied to the Company. Among other requirements, such plan must be approved annually by a vote of the Company’s board of directors, including the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of such plan or in any agreements related to such plan.
Except for Class T shares purchased by the principal of the Advisor, members of the Company’s board of directors and other individuals and entities affiliated with the Advisor, or through investment advisors whose contracts for investment advisory and related services include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, annual distribution fees are expected to be reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives, unless noted in the table below. The annual distribution fees are intended to compensate the dealer manager and its affiliates, selected broker-dealers and financial representatives for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing marketing, sale and distribution of such shares.
The annual distribution fees accrue daily commencing upon the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering until an investor reaches the sales charge cap, as defined below. The accruals as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect amounts beginning with the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering through March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The annual distribution fees are payable with respect to all shares of Class T common stock, other than shares issued under the DRP. The annual distribution fees will terminate for all Class T stockholders upon a liquidity event. In addition, the Company will stop paying the annual distribution fees with respect to any outstanding Class T share when the total underwriting compensation from the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and annual distribution fees attributable to any share equals 7.25% of gross offering proceeds, or the sales charge cap. The sales charge cap applicable to certain shares, including shares sold prior to January 25, 2017, will be reduced by the amount of any upfront sales load that is waived for such shares or to otherwise account for any lower upfront sales load paid by an investor with respect to such shares.
The annual distribution fees for all Class T shares currently will terminate upon the earliest of (i) any Class T share purchased after January 25, 2017 reaching the applicable sales charge cap, (ii) the Company’s dealer manager advising the Company that the aggregate underwriting compensation payable from all sources (determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of this offering and (iii) a liquidity event. If, in the future, the Company receives exemptive relief to offer multiple share classes and if it offers a class of common stock with no sales load or asset-based service or annual distribution fee, or aNo-Load Share Class, upon a Class T share reaching the applicable sales charge cap, such share will be converted into a share of suchNo-Load Share Class and will no longer be subject to ongoing annual distribution fees.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
Co-Investment Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 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 certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FSIC IV Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC IV Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.
Base Management Fee Deferral Arrangement
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2019 it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in the calendar quarter exceeds the sum of the Company’s investment company taxable income (as defined in the Code), net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code) and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar quarter, or collectively, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar quarter if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar quarter exceeds the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in such quarter. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future quarters.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019. the Advisor did not defer the receipt of any base management fees. As of March 31, 2019, there were no deferred base management fees subject to future payment by the Company.

(1) | Distribution amounts and per share amounts shown are net of annual distribution fees, which began accruing on February 1, 2017. See Note 4 for a discussion regarding annual distribution fees. |
The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On February 19, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for April 2019 through June 2019 and July 2019 through September 2019, respectively, each in the gross amount of $0.067258 per share. The gross amount declared includes the portion of the annual distribution fee amount, which is an expense of the Company and not paid to stockholders. These distributions, less the annual distribution fee amount, have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.
On October 13, 2017, the Company amended and restated its DRP, or the amended DRP, which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the prior DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the amended DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its DRP, 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.

(1) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 93.6% and 94.0%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.6% and 1.6%, respectively, was attributable tonon-cash accretion of discount and 4.8% and 4.4%, respectively, was attributable topaid-in-kind, or PIK, interest. |
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6,117 and $4,278, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $7,671 and $7,100, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gains on a tax basis.
The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income (loss) and itstax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount, certain amendment fees and prepayment fees recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains for tax purposes, the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by the Company and the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on its TRS intax-basis net investment income.

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.

In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not “control” and was not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans and other unfunded arrangements that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, delayed draw credit facilities or other investments, pursuant to which the Company may be required to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had eight unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $4,348. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had seven unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $2,769. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise. For additional details regarding the Company’s unfunded debt investments, see the Company’s unaudited consolidated schedule of investments as of March 31, 2019 and audited consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2018.

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.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
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.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2019 (Unaudited) | | | December 31, 2018 | |
Valuation Inputs | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | |

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs | | | 104,282 | | | | — | | | | 115,687 | | | | — | |
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs | | | 207,405 | | | | (3,925 | ) | | | 173,154 | | | | (4,689 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 311,687 | | | $ | (3,925 | ) | | $ | 288,841 | | | $ | (4,689 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were either acquired directly from the issuer or traded on anover-the-counter market for institutional investors. 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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values the TRS in accordance with the agreements between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, and
F-252

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the TRS.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms, 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. 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.
The following is a reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

(2) | For the assets and investments that have more than one valuation technique, the Company may rely on the stated techniques individually or in the aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each valuation technique, ranging from 0 – 100%. Indicative dealer quotes obtained for valuation purposes are reviewed by the Company relative to other valuation techniques. |
(3) | Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values. |
(4) | This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |

(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, with the exception of investments in the Total Return Swap, which were valued by using the bid price from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Investments valued using an EBITDA multiple or a revenue multiple pursuant to the market comparables valuation technique may be conducted using an enterprise valuation waterfall analysis. 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 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. |

| | | | | | | | |
Counterparty | | Description | | Termination Date | | Value as of March 31, 2019 | |
Citibank | | A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during a specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. | | Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after July 19, 2019 (April 19, 2019 as of March 31, 2019), unless certain specified events permit Citibank to terminate the TRS on an earlier date. Cheltenham Funding may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank, subject to an early termination fee if prior to the date 30 days before July 19, 2019 (April 19, 2019 as of March 31, 2019). | | $ | (3,925 | ) |

Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.
Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company has sufficient liquidity to fund these commitments. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s unfunded commitments consisted of the following:

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s unfunded debt commitments have a fair value representing unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(118). The Company funds its equity investments as it receives funding notices from the portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s unfunded equity commitments have a fair value of zero.
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under such arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. The Company has no such guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(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 reflects 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 DRP. The issuance of common stock at an offering price, net of selling commissions, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share. |
(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 each period. |
(6) | The total return for each period presented was calculated based on the change in net asset value during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the DRP. The total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) 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 which were declared during the applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. The total returns do not consider the effect of any selling commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The total returns include the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. The historical calculations of total returns in the table should not be considered representations of the Company’s future total returns, which may be greater or less than the returns shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies |

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 returns on the Company’s investment portfolio during the applicable period and do not represent actual returns to stockholders. |
(7) | Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are annualized, with the exception of capital gains incentive fees. Annualized ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the ratios that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018: |

| | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 (Unaudited) | | | Year Ended December 31, 2018 | |

Ratio of interest expense to average net assets | | | 0.50% | | | | 0.24% | |
Ratio of excise taxes to average net assets | | | — | | | | 0.10% | |
(8) | Portfolio turnover for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is not annualized. |

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements, management has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013 (“COSO”). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
FS Investment Corporation IV
Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited FS Investment Corporation IV’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of FS Investment Corporation IV as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and our report dated March 18, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FS Investment Corporation IV
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of FS Investment Corporation IV (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FS Investment Corporation IV as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), FS Investment Corporation IV’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 18, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(a) | Security may be an obligation of one or more entities affiliated with the named company. |
(b) | Certain variable rate securities in the Company’s portfolio bear interest at a rate determined by a publicly disclosed base rate plus a basis point spread. As of December 31, 2018, the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR or “L”, was 2.81% and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, or “E”, was (0.31)%. PIK meanspaid-in-kind. |
(c) | Denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. |
(d) | Fair value determined by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 7). |
(e) | Security is an unfunded commitment. The stated rate reflects the spread disclosed at the time of commitment and may not indicate the actual rate received upon funding. |
(f) | Security or portion thereof held within Broomall Funding LLC and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the prime brokerage facility with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc., or BNP. Securities held within Broomall Funding LLC may be rehypothecated from time to time as permitted under Rule15c-1(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, subject to the terms and conditions governing the prime brokerage facility with BNP (see Note 8). |

As of December 31, 2018, 90.8% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets. In addition, as described in Note 8, the Company also calculates its compliance with the qualifying asset test on a “look through” basis by disregarding the value of the Company’s total return swap and treating each loan underlying the total return swap as either a qualifying asset ornon-qualifying asset based on whether the obligor is an eligible portfolio company. On this basis, 89.9% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets as of December 31, 2018. |

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
FS Investment Corporation IV, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on February 25, 2015 and formally commenced investment operations on January 6, 2016. In November 2017, the Company closed its continuous public offering of Class T common stock to new investors. 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 December 31, 2018, the Company had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in portfolio companies. The consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 FSIC IV Advisor, LLC, or FSIC IV 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated September 21, 2015, or the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, by and between the Company and FSIC IV Advisor.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 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 audited 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 contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments: The Company determines the fair value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides the Company’s 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
| • | | the Company’s quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor reviewing and documenting valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations are obtained from an independent third-party valuation service and provide a valuation range; |
| • | | the Advisor then provides the valuation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or the valuation committee, with its valuation recommendation for each portfolio company or investment, along with supporting materials; |
| • | | preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee; |
| • | | the valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the Advisor, together with its 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 the Company’s board of directors approve the fair valuations; and |
| • | | the Company’s board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of the Advisor, the valuation committee and any independent third-party valuation services, if applicable. |
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the Company’s board of directors may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the Company’s 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the Company’s board of directors deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of directors may consider when determining the fair value of the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Company’s board of directors, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s 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 the Company’s board of directors, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of the Company’s 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 the Company receives 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. The Company’s board of directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The Company’s board of directors has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing its valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the Company’s board of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.
The Company values its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Cheltenham Funding LLC, or Cheltenham Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in accordance with the agreements between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee and the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the Company’s valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC Topic 606, using 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 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 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 year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $538 in structuring fee revenue under the new revenue recognition guidance and included such revenue in the fee income line item on its consolidated statements of operations. Comparative periods are presented in accordance with revenue recognition guidance effective prior to January 1, 2018, under which the Company recorded structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees as income when earned. The Company has determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the amount of revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018.
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. The Company measures 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.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, 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 investment advisory and administrative services 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 each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any capital gain incentive fees previously paid by the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fees as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period. The
F-281

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
The Company “looks through” its total return swap, or TRS, between its wholly-owned financing subsidiary Cheltenham Funding LLC, or Cheltenham Funding, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. Under this methodology, the portion of the net settlement payments received by the Company pursuant to the TRS which would have represented net investment income to the Company had the Company held the loans underlying the TRS directly is treated as net investment income subject to the subordinated incentive fee on income payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, rather than as realized capital gains in accordance with GAAP, and any unrealized depreciation on individual loans underlying the TRS further reduces the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor with respect to realized gains. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s TRS.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the investment advisory and administrative services 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 adjusted capital equal to 1.75% per quarter (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0% (7.5% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the 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% (1.875% under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Once the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the 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 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually (2.34375%, or 9.375% annually under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement), of the Company’s adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of thepre-incentive fee net investment income.
Organization Costs: Organization costs primarily included, among other things, the cost of incorporating, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company’s organization. These costs were expensed as the Company raised proceeds in its continuous public offering. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company expensed $317 of organization costs as it raised proceeds in its continuous public offering, which commenced on January 6, 2016. During the period from February 25, 2015 (Inception) to December 31, 2015, the Company incurred organization costs of $317 which were paid on the Company’s behalf by FS Investments (see Note 4).
Offering Costs: Offering costs primarily included, among other things, marketing expenses, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and printing, legal and due diligence fees and other costs pertaining to the Company’s continuous public offering of shares of its common stock, including the preparation of the Company’s registration statement on FormN-2 and salaries and direct expenses of FSIC IV Advisor’s personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in such activities. The Company deferred and amortized such costs as an expense over twelve months as the Company raised proceeds in its continuous public offering. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company expensed $0, $1,392 and $875, respectively, of offering costs as it raised proceeds in its continuous public offering, which commenced on January 6, 2016. During the period from February 25, 2015 (Inception) to December 31, 2017, the Company incurred offering costs of $9,358 which were paid on the Company’s behalf by FS Investments (see Note 4). In November 2017, the Company closed its continuous public offering to new investors.
Under the terms of the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement, FSIC IV Advisor was entitled to receive up to 0.75% of gross proceeds raised in the
F-282

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Company’s continuous public offering until all organization and offering costs funded by FSIC IV Advisor or its affiliates (including FS Investments) had been recovered.
Income Taxes: The Company 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. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as well as distribute to its stockholders, for each tax year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid. As a RIC, the Company will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to qualify for and maintain its RIC tax status each tax year and to not pay any U.S. federal income taxes on income so distributed. The Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no U.S. federal income taxes.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates its 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 the Company’s 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. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the period from January 6, 2016 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2016, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax for uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Distributions: Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company currently intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis to Class T stockholders of record, determined on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from January 6, 2016 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2016 may have been reclassified to conform to the classification used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13,Fair Value Measurement—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.

(1) | Effective January 25, 2017, in connection with certain changes to the Company’s plan of distribution, FS Investment Solutions, LLC (formerly FS 2 Capital Partners, LLC), or FS Investment Solutions, the dealer manager for the Company’s continuous public offering and an affiliate of the Company, began receiving upfront selling commissions of up to 3.00% and dealer manager fees of up to 1.25% of the gross proceeds received on Class T shares sold in the offering. All of the upfront selling commissions and all or a portion of the dealer manager fees were reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives. Prior to January 25, 2017, Class T shares were subject to upfront selling commissions of up to 2.20% of gross proceeds and were not subject to dealer manager fees. |
(2) | Share repurchase program amounts are presented including any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. Beginning with the quarterly tender offer conducted during the three months ended March 31, 2017, Class T shares tendered pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program were no longer subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. See below for a discussion of the Company’s share repurchase program and see Note 4 for the amount of the contingent deferred sales charge earned by FS Investment Solutions. |
During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 12, 2019, the Company issued 182,373 shares of Class T common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, or DRP, for gross proceeds of $1,960 at an average price per share of $10.75. For additional information regarding the terms of the DRP, see Note 5.
The Company has submitted to the SEC an application for an exemptive order to permit it to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock. On July 31, 2018, the Company filed a new registration statement to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock, with each class having a different upfront sales load and fee and expense structure. The Company may recommence this offering upon receipt of an exemptive order from the SEC, although there is no assurance that the Company will receive such relief.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares of common stock and under what terms:
| • | | the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
| • | | the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
| • | | the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements; |
| • | | the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size; |
F-284
FS Investment Corporation IV

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)
| • | | the Company’s history in repurchasing shares of common stock or portions thereof; and |
| • | | the condition of the securities markets. |
Historically, the Company limited the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of common stock that the Company could repurchase with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares of common stock under the DRP and (ii) 10.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 9, 2017, the board of directors of the Company amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company limits the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase shares of common stock on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (the Company refers to this limitation as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of shares of common stock that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRP during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (the Company refers to this limitation as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time upon 30 days’ notice.
On October 13, 2017, the Company further amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which was first effective for the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to amending the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase shares of its common stock on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase shares of common stock at a price equal to the price at which shares of its common stock are issued pursuant to the DRP on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which shares of common stock are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share as of such date.
Prior to January 25, 2017, if a stockholder tendered his or her shares for repurchase by the Company, such shares were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 3.90% which was calculated based upon the lesser of the estimated value of Class T shares as of the date of repurchase and the public offering price at the time such shares were purchased. The contingent deferred sales charge was not payable with respect to shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Beginning with the tender offer conducted in the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2017, shares were no longer subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Advisor shall determine. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Pursuant to the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, which was in effect until April 9, 2018, FSIC IV Advisor was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average weekly 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. Effective February 1, 2017, FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed to permanently waive 0.25% of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the Company’s average weekly gross assets. Pursuant to the investmentsub-advisory agreement, GDFM was entitled to receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FSIC IV Advisor under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.

Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the 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. The 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, the 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to its administration and operations, including the 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) and KKR Credit Advisors (US), LLC, or KKR Credit, providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Advisor. The Company reimburses the Advisor no less than monthly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) the Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The 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 the 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 the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The administrative services provisions of the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement were substantially similar to the administrative services provisions of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement.
Under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company, either directly or through reimbursement to FSIC IV Advisor or its affiliates, was responsible for its organization and offering costs in an amount up to 0.75% of gross proceeds raised in the Company’s continuous public offering. Organization and offering costs primarily included legal, accounting, printing and other expenses relating to the Company’s continuous public offering, including costs associated with technology integration between the Company’s systems and those of its selected broker-dealers, marketing expenses, salaries and direct expenses of FSIC IV Advisor’s personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock, which included the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.
Prior to satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement and for a period of time thereafter, FS Investments funded the Company’s organization and offering costs. Following this period, the Company has paid certain of its organization and offering costs directly and has reimbursed FSIC IV Advisor for offering costs incurred by FSIC IV Advisor on the Company’s behalf, including marketing expenses, with respect to salaries and other direct expenses of FSIC IV Advisor’s personnel and employees of its affiliates while engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s shares of common stock. On January 6, 2016, the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement became effective upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement, and FSIC IV Advisor became entitled to receive up to 0.75% of the gross proceeds raised in the Company’s continuous public offering until all organization and offering costs incurred have been recovered. As the Company reimbursed FSIC IV Advisor for such costs, organization costs were charged to expense and offering costs were deferred and amortized to expense over twelve months.
FS Investments funded certain of the Company’s organization and offering costs in the amount of $9,675 from inception through the close of the continuous public offering in November 2017. Since commencing its continuous public offering and

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
through the close of the offering, the Company paid total reimbursements of $2,584 to FSIC IV Advisor and its affiliates for organization and offering costs funded by them. Following the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering to new investors in November 2017, no amounts were reimbursable to FS Investments and its affiliates under this arrangement.
The dealer manager for the Company’s continuous public offering was FS Investment Solutions, or the dealer manager, which is one of the Company’s affiliates. Prior to the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering, the dealer manager was entitled under a second amended and restated dealer manager agreement, dated as of January 25, 2017, or the dealer manager agreement, among the Company, FSIC IV Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, to receive upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering, all or a portion of which could be reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives. The dealer manager reallowed to selected broker dealers and other financial representatives the upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees, as applicable, it was entitled to receive during the continuous public offering, unless otherwise noted in the table below. The dealer manager agreement terminated in connection with the closing of the Company’s continuous public offering in November 2017.
Shares of Class T common stock are subject to annual distribution fees of 1.00% of the estimated value of such shares, as determined in accordance with applicable rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. The annual distribution fees is paid by the Company to the dealer manager pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by the Company in compliance with Rules12b-1 and17d-3 under the 1940 Act, as if those rules applied to the Company. Among other requirements, such plan must be approved annually by a vote of the Company’s board of directors, including the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of such plan or in any agreements related to such plan.
Except for Class T shares purchased by the principal of the Advisor, members of the Company’s board of directors and other individuals and entities affiliated with the Advisor, or through investment advisors whose contracts for investment advisory and related services include a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, annual distribution fees are expected to be reallowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives, unless noted in the table below. The annual distribution fees are intended to compensate the dealer manager and its affiliates, selected broker-dealers and financial representatives for services rendered and expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing marketing, sale and distribution of such shares.
The annual distribution fees accrue daily commencing upon the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering until an investor reaches the sales charge cap, as defined below. The accruals as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 reflect amounts beginning with the initial sale of shares of common stock in the Company’s continuous public offering through December 31, 2018. The annual distribution fees are payable with respect to all shares of Class T common stock, other than shares issued under the DRP. The annual distribution fees will terminate for all Class T stockholders upon a liquidity event. In addition, the Company will stop paying the annual distribution fees with respect to any outstanding Class T share when the total underwriting compensation from the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and annual distribution fees attributable to any share equals 7.25% of gross offering proceeds, or the sales charge cap. The sales charge cap applicable to certain shares, including shares sold prior to January 25, 2017, will be reduced by the amount of any upfront sales load that is waived for such shares or to otherwise account for any lower upfront sales load paid by an investor with respect to such shares.
The annual distribution fees for all Class T shares currently will terminate upon the earliest of (i) any Class T share purchased after January 25, 2017 reaching the applicable sales charge cap, (ii) the Company’s dealer manager advising the Company that the aggregate underwriting compensation payable from all sources (determined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of this offering and (iii) a liquidity event. If, in the future, the Company receives exemptive relief to offer multiple share classes and if it offers a class of common stock with no sales load or asset-based service or annual distribution fee, or aNo-Load Share Class, upon a Class T share reaching the applicable sales charge cap, such share will be converted into a share of suchNo-Load Share Class and will no longer be subject to ongoing annual distribution fees.

(1) | FSIC IV Advisor contractually agreed, effective February 1, 2017, to permanently waive 0.25% of its base management fee to which it is entitled under the FSIC IV Advisor investment advisory and administrative services agreement so that the fee received equaled 1.75% of the average value of the Company’s weekly gross assets. Under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the base management fee is equal to 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s weekly gross assets and the Advisor is not waiving any portion of such fee. As a result, the amounts shown for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are net of waivers of $253 and $696, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, $6,001, $4,371 and $588 in base management fees were paid to the Advisor and/or FSIC IV Advisor, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, $300 in base management fees were applied to offset the liability of FS Investments under the expense reimbursement agreement. As of December 31, 2018, $1,357 in base management fees were payable to the Advisor. |
(2) | During the year ended December 31, 2018, $585 of subordinated incentive fees on income were paid to the Advisor.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $1,164 and $1,302, respectively, based on the performance of its portfolio.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accrued $1,981 and $1,302, respectively, in capital gains incentive fees, of which $1,742, and $817 respectively, was based on unrealized gains and $239 and $485, respectively, was based on realized gains. No capital gains incentive fees are actually payable by the Company with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. The Company paid FSIC IV Advisor $239 and $485 in capital gains incentive fees during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. See Note 2 for a discussion of the methodology employed by the Company in calculating the capital gains incentive fees. |

Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III and Corporate Capital Trust II, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles.
Co-Investment Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted toco-invest 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 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 certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FSIC IV Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and any future BDCs that are advised by FSIC IV Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers. However, in connection with the investment advisory relationship with the 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, toco-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions, including investments originated and directly negotiated by the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor.

Expense Reimbursement and Base Management Fee Deferral Arrangement
Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, by and between the Advisor and the Company, or the expense reimbursement agreement, the Advisor had agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to stockholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings. Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, the Company had a conditional obligation to reimburse the Advisor. The expense reimbursement agreement replaced an amended and restated expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with FS Investments, or the FS Investments expense reimbursement agreement. The FS Investments expense reimbursement agreement had substantially similar terms to the expense reimbursement agreement.
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2019 it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in the calendar quarter exceeds the sum of the Company’s investment company taxable income (as defined in the Code), net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code) and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar quarter, or collectively, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar quarter if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar quarter exceeds the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in such quarter. In light of this commitment by the Advisor, the expense reimbursement agreement was terminated on November 14, 2018. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future quarters.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not accrue any amounts for expense reimbursements that FS Investments or the Advisor had agreed to pay and the Company did not have any reimbursements due from FS Investments or the Advisor. During 2018, the Advisor did not defer the receipt of any base management fees.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, no expense recoupments were paid by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repaid $666 of expense recoupments to FS Investments under the FS Investments expense reimbursement agreement. As of December 31, 2018, there were no unreimbursed expense support payments subject to future reimbursement by the Company.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared to stockholders on its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution(1) | |
For the Year Ended December 31, | | Per Share | | | Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 0.64010 | | | $ | 4,443 | |
2017(2) | | $ | 0.73902 | | | $ | 17,642 | |
2018 | | $ | 0.70190 | | | $ | 21,892 | |
(1) | Distribution amounts and per share amounts shown are net of annual distribution fees, which began accruing on February 1, 2017, and reflect the special cash distributions described in footnote (2) below. See Note 4 for a discussion regarding annual distribution fees. |
(2) | On a monthly basis from February 2017 through June 2017, the Company paid special cash distributions in the weekly amount of approximately $0.002 per share, to stockholders of record as of the weekly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors for that period. The Company paid a total of approximately $884 in special cash distributions to stockholders. The Company’s board of directors ratified and approved such monthly special cash distribution payments on August 10, 2017. |
The Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. On November 1, 2018 and February 19, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared regular monthly cash distributions for January 2019 through March 2019 and April 2019 through June 2019, respectively, each in the gross amount of $0.067258 per share. The gross amount declared includes the portion of the annual distribution fee amount, which is an

Note 5. Distributions (continued)
expense of the Company and not paid to stockholders. These distributions, less the annual distribution fee amount, have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of directors. 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.
The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will receive the distribution in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the DRP so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the DRP.
On October 13, 2017, the Company amended and restated its DRP, or the amended DRP, which first applied to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 29, 2017. Under the prior DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders were reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the net offering price in effect on the date of issuance. Under the amended DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock as of such date. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Stockholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares of common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its DRP, 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. No portion of the distribution paid during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments or the Advisor. During the year ended December 31, 2016, if FS Investments had not reimbursed certain of the Company’s expenses, 15% of the aggregate amount of distributions paid would have been funded from offering proceeds or borrowings.

(1) | During years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 93.7%, 98.4% and 94.6%, respectively, of the Company’s gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 1.6%, 1.4% and 4.5%, respectively, was attributable tonon-cash accretion of discount and 4.7%, 0.2% and 0.9%, respectively, was attributable topaid-in-kind interest, or PIK, interest. |
The Company’s net investment income on a tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $20,591, $16,516 and $3,339, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $7,100 and $6,277, respectively, of undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gains on a tax basis.
The difference between the Company’s GAAP-basis net investment income (loss) and itstax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized original issue discount, certain amendment fees and prepayment fees recognized upon prepayment of loans from income for GAAP purposes to realized gains for tax purposes, the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by the Company and the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on its TRS intax-basis net investment income.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income (loss) andtax-basis net investment income during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not “control” and was not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans and other unfunded arrangements that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, delayed draw credit facilities or other investments, pursuant to which the Company may be required to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had seven unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $2,769. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had ten unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $11,076 and an unfunded equity/other commitment to purchase up to $4 in shares of Series A units of Chisholm Oil and Gas, LLC. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise. For additional details regarding the Company’s unfunded debt investments, see the Company’s consolidated schedules of investments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s investments and total return swap were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2018 | | | December 31, 2017 | |
Valuation Inputs | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | | | Investments | | | Total Return Swap | |
Level 1—Price quotations in active markets | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs | | | 115,687 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs | | | 173,154 | | | | (4,689 | ) | | | 267,170 | | | | 868 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 288,841 | | | $ | (4,689 | ) | | $ | 267,170 | | | $ | 868 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were either acquired directly from the issuer or traded on anover-the-counter market for institutional investors. 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 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. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements,
F-296

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company values the TRS in accordance with the agreements between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank that collectively established the TRS, which agreements are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The valuation committee and the board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis. To the extent the valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation is discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the TRS.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms, 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. 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.
The following is a reconciliation for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

(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, with the exception of investments in the Total Return Swap, which were valued by using the bid price from dealers on the date of the relevant period end. Investments valued using an EBITDA multiple or a revenue multiple pursuant to the market comparables valuation technique may be conducted using an enterprise valuation waterfall analysis. 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 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. |

BNP Facility
On February 10, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, Broomall Funding LLC, or Broomall Funding, entered into a committed facility arrangement, or the BNP Facility, with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd., or BNPP, pursuant to which Broomall Funding may borrow, beginning March 1, 2017, and from time to time thereafter, up to $50,000 from BNPP. Under the terms of the BNP Facility, as amended, the maximum commitment financing available to Broomall Funding is $50,000, the interest rate payable on borrowings under the committed facility agreement is three-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and the commitment fee payable under the committed facility agreement is (a) 65 basis points on unused amounts so long as 75% or more of the facility amount is utilized or (b) 85 basis points on unused amounts if less than 75% of the facility amount is utilized.
Broomall Funding’s obligations to BNPP under the BNP Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Broomall Funding, including its portfolio of securities. The value of securities required to be pledged by Broomall Funding is determined in accordance with the margin requirements described in the BNP Facility agreements. The obligations of Broomall Funding under the BNP facility arenon-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the BNP Facility is limited to the value of its investment in Broomall Funding.
Broomall Funding may terminate the committed facility agreement upon 270 days’ notice. Absent a default or facility termination event (or the ratings decline described in the following sentence), BNPP is required to provide Broomall Funding with 270 days’ notice prior to terminating or materially amending the committed facility agreement. The BNP Facility will automatically terminate if BNP Paribas’ long-term credit rating declines three or more notches below its highest rating by any of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, or S&P, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Moody’s, or Fitch Ratings, Inc., during the period commencing on the closing date of the committed facility agreement and ending on the date of such long-term credit rating decline.
In connection with the BNP Facility, Broomall Funding has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The BNP Facility agreements contain events of default and termination events customary for similar financing transactions, and additionally an event of default or termination event upon the termination of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement or if FSIC IV Advisor otherwise ceases to act as the Company’s investment adviser and is not immediately replaced by an affiliate or other investment adviser acceptable to BNPP.
The Company incurred costs in connection with obtaining the facility, which the Company recorded as deferred financing costs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of December 31, 2018, all of such deferred financing costs had been amortized to interest expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the components of total interest expense for the BNP Facility were as follows:

Citibank Total Return Swap
| | | | | | | | |
Counterparty | | Description | | Termination Date | | Value | |
Citibank | | A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during a specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. | | Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the Citibank Optional Termination Date, unless certain specified events permit Citibank to terminate the TRS on an earlier date. Cheltenham Funding may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank, subject to an early termination fee if prior to the date 30 days before the Citibank Optional Termination Date. | | $ | (4,689 | ) |
On January 19, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Cheltenham Funding, entered into a TRS for a portfolio of primarily senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, which has subsequently been amended. A TRS effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements. The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of Cheltenham Funding, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Cheltenham Funding borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.
Until the date on which the reference portfolio under the TRS meets the full set of diversity and other portfolio criteria required under the TRS documents, or the Portfolio Criteria Satisfaction Date, the Company will guarantee Cheltenham Funding’s obligations under the TRS, or the Guarantee. Thereafter, the Guarantee will terminate and the obligations of Cheltenham Funding under the TRS will benon-recourse to the Company. Accordingly, on and after the Portfolio Criteria Satisfaction Date, the Company’s exposure under the TRS will be limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Cheltenham Funding, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Cheltenham Funding under the TRS.
Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Cheltenham Funding may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate notional amount (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $175,000. Cheltenham Funding is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements between Cheltenham Funding and Citibank that collectively establish the TRS, or collectively, the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Cheltenham Funding has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS.
Each individual loan in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that substantially all of the loans underlying the TRS be rated

by Moody’s and S&P, and quoted by a nationally recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Cheltenham Funding receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Cheltenham Funding pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal toone-month LIBOR, plus (a) 1.60% per annum prior to the Portfolio Criteria Satisfaction Date and (b) thereafter, 1.50% per annum, in both cases on the utilized notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS.
Under the terms of the TRS, Cheltenham Funding may be required to post additional cash collateral, on adollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans below a specified amount. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Cheltenham Funding is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans. The terms of the TRS with Citibank, the counter-party, incorporate a master netting arrangement. If Cheltenham Funding enters into another derivative with the counter-party, it could be offset with the TRS. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no other contracts to offset the TRS.
Except as required under the Guarantee, the Company has no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral (as described above) or to make any interest payments to Citibank. When the Guarantee is no longer in effect and payment thereunder to satisfy Cheltenham Funding’s obligations is no longer required, the Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its equity investment in Cheltenham Funding for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Cheltenham Funding may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If the Company does not make any such additional investment in Cheltenham Funding and Cheltenham Funding fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Cheltenham Funding under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS prior to the date 30 days before the Citibank Optional Termination Date, Cheltenham Funding would be required to pay an early termination fee. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Cheltenham Funding to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including the Citibank Optional Termination Date. Such monthly payments will equal the product of (x) 85%, multiplied by (y) the maximum notional amount of the TRS ($175,000 as of December 31, 2018), multiplied by (z) 1.60% or 1.50% per annum, as applicable.
Cheltenham Funding will be required to pay an early termination fee to Citibank if it elects to terminate the TRS at any time before 30 days prior to the Citibank Optional Termination Date. Other than during the first 90 days and last 30 days of the term of the TRS, Cheltenham Funding is required to pay a minimum usage fee if less than 85% of the maximum notional amount of the TRS is utilized and an unused fee on any amounts unutilized if greater than 85% but less than 100% of the maximum notional amount of the TRS is utilized.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the TRS was $(4,689) and $868, respectively, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as unrealized appreciation on total return swap. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the receivable due on the TRS was $532 and $795, respectively, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a receivable due on total return swap. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company posted $67,529 and $70,500, respectively, in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $64,991 and $57,806, respectively, was required to be posted). The cash collateral held by Citibank is reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as due from counterparty. The Company does not offset collateral posted in relation to the TRS with any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, transactions in the TRS resulted in net realized gain (loss) on the total return swap of $5,137, $10,873 and $4,791 respectively, and net change unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the total return swap and $(5,557), (1,554) and $2,422, respectively, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Cheltenham Funding under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as anon-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

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. The 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 reflects 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 in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the DRP. The issuance of common stock at an offering price, net of selling commissions, that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share. |
(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 each period. |
(6) | The total return for each period presented was calculated based on the change in net asset value during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the DRP. The total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) 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 which were declared during the applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. The total returns do not consider the effect of any selling commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The total returns include the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. The historical calculations of total returns in the table should not be considered representations of the Company’s future total returns, which may be greater or less than the returns shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies |

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
Corporate Capital Trust II, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014. The Company is anon-diversified,closed-end management investment company and 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.
The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
The Company is externally managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, or the Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the investment advisory agreement. Since inception and through April 8, 2018, the Company was externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors II, LLC, or CNL, as investment adviser and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, or KKR, as investmentsub-adviser, or together, the Former Advisors.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet and schedule of investments are derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited 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 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.
Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, a subordinated incentive fee on income is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar quarter (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). A subordinated incentive fee on income is payable to the Advisor each calendar quarter if the Company’s“pre-incentive fee net investment fee income” (as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement and approved by the Company’s board of trustees) exceeds the 1.75% “quarterly preferred return” to the Company’s shareholders (the ratio ofpre-incentive fee net investment income divided by average adjusted capital). Once theCompany’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the quarterly preferred return of 1.75%, the Advisor will be entitled to a fee equal to the amount of theCompany’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly preferred return, until theCompany’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.1875% of the Company’s average adjusted capital. Thereafter, the Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment income.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee on capital gains, which equals the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis since 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 the 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.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade 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 theex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company, or LLC, and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. 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. Structuring and othernon-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $194 in structuring fee revenue. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , or ASU2018-13. ASU2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its financial statements.

On April 9, 2018, the Managing Dealer Agreement and the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan were terminated effective April 30, 2018.
Investment Advisory Agreements
On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Investment Advisory Agreement (as defined below) and concurrently entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Advisor a fee for their services consisting of two components—a base management fee based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets and incentive fees based on the Company’s performance. The incentive fee consists of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, as compared to the annual rate of 2.00% under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the calculation of the base management fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement excludes cash and cash equivalents from gross assets, as compared to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which included cash and cash equivalents within the definition of gross assets. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor serves as the sole investment adviser of the Company. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that the Advisor may be entitled to under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Previously, the Company was a party to an investment advisory agreement with CNL, or the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, for the overall management of the Company’s activities. CNL was a party to asub-advisory agreement with KKR, or the FormerSub-Advisory Agreement, under which KKR was responsible for theday-to-day management of the Company’s investment portfolio. Pursuant to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL earned (i) a management fee equal to an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s average gross assets, and (ii) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The incentive fee consisted of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. CNL compensated KKR for advisory services that it provided to the Company with 50% of the fees that CNL received under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement.
A subordinated incentive fee on income is payable to the Advisor each calendar quarter if the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment fee income (as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement and approved by the Company’s board of trustees) exceeds the 1.75% quarterly preferred return to the Company’s shareholders (the ratio ofpre-incentive fee net investment income divided by average adjusted capital).
The annual incentive fees on capital gains recorded for GAAP purposes are equal to (i) 20% of the Company’s realized and unrealized capital gains on a cumulative basis since inception, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception, less (ii) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. For financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, the Company includes unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio in the calculation of incentive fees on capital gains; however, such amounts are not payable by the Company unless and until the net unrealized appreciation is actually realized. The actual amount of incentive fees on capital gains that are due and payable to the Advisor is determined at the end of the calendar year.
The terms of the incentive fees are substantially the same as those to which the Former Advisors were entitled to receive under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company did not incur any subordinated incentive fee on income under the Investment Advisory Agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has not accrued any incentive fees payable on capital gains under the Investment Advisory Agreement as of March 31, 2019.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
Under the terms of the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL (and indirectly KKR) was entitled to receive up to 1.50% of gross offering proceeds as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors had incurred organization and offering costs of approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 2018 on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors waived the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses in connection with the Company’s gross capital raise received from the Offering from March 1, 2016 (when the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement) through April 30, 2017, or the O&O Reimbursement Waiver. The O&O Reimbursement Waiver did not reduce the amount of organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors that were eligible for reimbursement in future periods based on subsequent gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017. Gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017 was subject to the maximum organization and offering cost reimbursement of 1.50%. The Former Advisors were entitled to reimbursement of approximately $400 of organization and offering costs for gross capital raised for the period May 1, 2017 through April 9, 2018, all of which had been reimbursed to the Former Advisors as of April 9, 2018. A contingent obligation for the balance of organization and offering costs, subject to reimbursement based on future gross proceeds raised assuming a reinstatement of the Company’s Offering, was approximately $5,000 as of April 30, 2018.
On April 30, 2018, the Company terminated its Offering and in conjunction therewith, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on the Company’s behalf. As such, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had no contingent obligations to reimburse its Former Advisors for organization and offering expenses.
Administrative Services Agreements
The Company was a party to an administrative services agreement with CNL, or the Former Administrative Services Agreement, under which CNL performed, or oversaw the performance of, various administrative services on behalf of the Company. Administrative services include investor services, general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, maintaining required financial records, calculating the Company’s net asset value, filing tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing, and disseminating shareholder reports and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company reimbursed CNL for administrative expenses it incurred in performing its obligations.
On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Administrative Services Agreement with CNL and concurrently entered into a new administrative services agreement with the Advisor, or the Administrative Services Agreement under which the Advisor serves as the Company’s administrator. The terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, including the services to be provided by the Advisor as administrator and the amount of reimbursements to be paid by the Company for certain administrative expenses, are substantially the same as those under the Former Administrative Services Agreement.
Expense Support Agreements
The Company was a party to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended and restated, or the Former Expense Support Agreement, with the Former Advisors pursuant to which the Former Advisors jointly and severally agreed to pay to the Company some or all of its operating expenses, or an Expense Support Payment, for each month during the Former Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) in which the Company’s board of trustees declared a distribution to its shareholders. Expense Support Payments were made in accordance with the terms of the Former Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Payment Period commenced on March 1, 2016 and terminated effective with the termination of the Former Expense Support Agreement on April 9, 2018. The amount of Expense Support Payments provided by the Former Advisors since inception was approximately $5,400. Effective April 30, 2018, the Former Advisors waived their right to reimbursement of such Expense Support Payments.
The Former Advisors were entitled to be reimbursed promptly by the Company, or a Reimbursement Payment, for Expense Support Payments made with respect to any class of common stock, subject to the limitation that no Reimbursement Payment

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
may be made by the Company to the extent that it would cause the Company’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) for such class of common stock to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of average net assets attributable to common shares on an annualized basis after taking such payment into account and (B) the percentage of average net assets attributable to shares of such class of common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) during the period in which such Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) did not apply to any Reimbursement Payment which related to an Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors made during the same period).
Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, or the Expense Support Agreement, which replaced the Former Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Agreement was substantially similar to the Former Expense Support Agreement.
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar month ending on or prior to September 30, 2019, it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s shareholders in the calendar month exceeds the sum of the Company’s investment company taxable income (as defined in Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code), net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code) and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar month, or collectively, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar month if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar month exceeds the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s shareholders in such month. In light of this commitment by the Advisor, the Expense Support Agreement was terminated on November 14, 2018. The Company’s conditional obligation to reimburse the Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement survived the termination of such agreement. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future periods.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor did not defer the receipt of any base management fees. As of March 31, 2019, there were no deferred base management fees subject to future payment by the Company.

The following table describes the fees and expenses accrued under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement, the Former Administrative Services Agreement, the Expense Support Agreement and the Former Expense Support Agreement, as applicable, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
Related Party | | Source Agreement | | Description | | 2019 | | | 2018 | |

(1) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $628 of base management fees were paid to the Advisor and $67 of expense support payments due from the Advisor were used to offset management fees payable. It is intended that of the $98 in expense support payments due from the Advisor as of March 31, 2019, all of such payments will be applied to offset the $684 of base management fees payable to the Advisor as of March 31, 2019. |
(2) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, no capital gains incentive fees were paid to the Advisor and/or Former Advisors. As of March 31, 2019, no capital gains incentive fees were payable to the Advisor. |
(3) | During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $16 of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by the Advisor, and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses, including reimbursement of fees related to transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. Broken deal costs were $3 and $3 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company paid $167 in administrative services expenses to the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2019. |
Potential Conflicts of Interest
The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Advisor is the investment adviser to FS KKR Capital Corp., FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III and FS Investment Corporation IV, or together with the Company, the Fund Complex, and the officers, managers and other personnel of the Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, 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 the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Exemptive Relief
As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permittedto co-invest with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in
F-330

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may,simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated term.
In an order dated April 3, 2018, or the SEC Exemptive Order, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting 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 the Advisor or KKR Credit, with certain affiliates of the Advisor. The SEC Exemptive Order extendedthe co-investment exemptive order previously granted by the SEC to the Company in June 2017.
Note 5. Distributions
The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution | |
For the Three Months Ended | | Per Share | | | Amount | |
Fiscal 2018 | | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2018 | | $ | 0.14625 | | | $ | 1,868 | |
Fiscal 2019 | | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2019 | | $ | 0.14625 | | | $ | 1,796 | |
The Company currently intends to declare and pay regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis. On May 1, 2019, the Company’s board of trustees declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.14625 per share, which will be paid on or about July 15, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2019. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of trustees.
The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan for its shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its shareholders who have elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders 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 shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.
The Company estimates that none of the distributions declared during the three months ended March 31, 2019 would be classified as a tax basis return of capital. None of the distributions declared during the year ended December 31, 2018 were classified as a tax basis return of capital. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had undistributed net investment income of $483 and $294, respectively.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net investment income includes Expense Support Payments of $585 which supported distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a GAAP basis, include (i) the ordinary income component of prior year tax basis undistributed earnings and (ii) required adjustments to GAAP net investment income and realized gains in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions.

(1) | Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on investments. |
In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not hold investments in any portfolio companies of which it is deemed to “control” or be an “affiliated person.”
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans and other unfunded arrangements that are in the form of lines of credit, revolving credit facilities, delayed draw credit facilities or other investments, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $2,753 and unfunded equity commitments of $7,920. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded debt investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $1,804 and unfunded equity commitments of $9,531. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise. See Note 10 for additional details regarding the Company’s unfunded debt and equity investments.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts aremarked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract forward exchange rate and the forward market exchange rate on the last day of the period presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties.
The Company was a party to two foreign currency forward contracts during the period which related to economic hedging of the Company’s foreign currency denominated debt investments. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s open foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Note 8. 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:
Level1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level3: 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In addition, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, as described in Note 7, which were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The Company’s investments consist primarily of debt investments that were 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 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 trustees determines that the cost of such investment is the best indication of its fair value. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, the Company typically 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 and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services and/or dealers and independent valuation firms 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. The audit committee for valuation of the Company’s board of trustees, or the audit committee, and the board of trustees reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy.

(1) | Certain investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. |
(2) | For the assets and investments that have more than one valuation technique, the Company may rely on the stated techniques individually or in the aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each valuation technique, ranging from 0 - 100%. Indicative dealer quotes obtained for valuation purposes are reviewed by the Company relative to other valuation techniques. |

(4) | This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |
Note 9. Financing Arrangements
On July 14, 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Credit Facility, consisting of loans to be made in dollars and other foreign currencies in an initial aggregate principal amount of $70,000. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on July 14, 2019, and the outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on July 14, 2020. On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into an incremental commitment agreement with ING Capital LLC to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $82,000.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all covenants required by the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the principal amount outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $75,636 and $73,933, respectively. Of the $75,636 principal outstanding as of March 31, 2019, approximately $748, $3,691 and $547 were denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and British pound sterling, respectively. Of the $73,933 principal outstanding as of December 31, 2018, approximately $73, $3,770 and $440 were denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and British pound sterling, respectively.
The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Revolving Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
Interest expense | | $ | 1,028 | | | $ | 593 | |

(1) | Weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes the effect of unused commitment fees. Weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 does not include the effect of unused commitment fees. |
The weighted average effective interest rate and weighted average remaining years to maturity of the Company’s outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2019 were approximately 5.2% and 1.3 years, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the asset coverage per unit was 2.42. Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total assets available to cover senior securities, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness.
Note 10. 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. The 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.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a contingent obligation to reimburse the Advisor for expense support payments of $165. On April 30, 2018, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Former Advisors approximately $5,400 in expense support payments not previously reimbursed under the Former Expense Support Agreement and approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on the Company’s behalf. As such, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had no contingent obligations to reimburse its Former Advisors for expense support and organization and offering expenses. See Note 4 for further detail of the agreements with the Advisor and the Former Advisors.
Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded in the Company’s balance sheets. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company has sufficient liquidity to fund these commitments.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s unfunded commitments consisted of the following:
| | | | |
Category / Company(1) | | Commitment Amount | |
Senior Secured Loans—First Lien | | | | |
Apex Group Limited | | $ | 87 | |

(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 is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per share of common stock outstanding during the entire period; distributions per share are rounded to the nearest $0.01. |
(4) | See Note 5 for further information on the source of distributions from other than net investment income and realized gains. |
(5) | 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 in the Company’s continuous public offering and pursuant to the DRP. The issuance of common stock at a price, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. |

(6) | The per share impact of the Company’s repurchases of common stock reflects a change in net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2018. |
(7) | 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 value per share at the beginning of the period. 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 shareholders. |
(8) | The computation of average net assets and average borrowings during the period is based on the daily value of net assets and borrowing balances, respectively. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Corporate Capital Trust II
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Corporate Capital Trust II (the “Company”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the period from March 1, 2016 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2016, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the period from March 1, 2016 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, loan agents, and borrowers; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
Corporate Capital Trust II (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014. The Company is anon-diversified,closed-end management investment company and has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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.
The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company’s 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. In addition, a portion of the Company’s portfolio may be comprised of equity and equity-related securities, corporate bonds, structured products, other debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default swaps.
Since inception and through April 8, 2018, the Company was externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors II, LLC, as investment adviser (“CNL”), and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, as investmentsub-adviser (“KKR”, and together with CNL, the “Former Advisors”). On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a newly-formed entity that is jointly operated by KKR and an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., which does business as FS Investments, pursuant to which the Advisor serves as the Company’s investment adviser. See Note 4 for additional information.
Since inception and through April 8, 2018, the Former Advisors were, and effective April 9, 2018, the Advisor is, responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, determining the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell and monitoring the Company’s portfolio on an ongoing basis, as well as providing the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Both the Former Advisors and the Advisor (collectively, the “Advisors”) are registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
On September 29, 2014, the Company filed a registration statement on FormN-2 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to permit the Company to sell up to $2.6 billion of shares of common stock (275 million shares) on a continuous basis (the “Offering”). The Registration Statement was declared effective on October 9, 2015. In January 2018, the Company suspended its Offering to new investors and on April 30, 2018, it terminated the Offering. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Offering.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form10-K and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946,Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).
Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash—Cash consists of demand deposits.
Valuation of Investments—The Company measures the value of its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the FASB. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
ASC Topic 820 defines hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine fair values of assets and liabilities. The hierarchical levels and types of inputs used to measure fair value for each level are described as follows:
Level1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and debt securities, publicly listed derivatives, money market/short-term investment funds and foreign currency are generally included in Level 1. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.
Level2—Valuation inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from orderly transactions for similar investments in active markets between market participants and provided by reputable dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency and certainover-the-counter derivatives.
Level3—Valuation inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments generally included in this category are illiquid corporate bonds and loans, unlisted common and preferred stock investments, and equity options that lack observable market pricing.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain investments, the Company may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available or reliable. Investments are transferred at fair value as of the beginning of the month in which they are transferred. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and the consideration of factors specific to the investment.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to the Company’s portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s board of trustees is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the board of trustees, based on, among other things, the input of the Advisor and the Company’s management, its audit committee, and independent third-party valuation firms.
The Company and the Advisor undertake a multi-step valuation process for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the market prices of which are not readily available, as described below:
| • | | Each investment is valued by the Company’s independent third-party valuation firm, which provides a valuation range for each investment to the Advisor. |
| • | | Valuation recommendations, which include selection of a specific value within the valuation range, are formulated and documented by personnel of the Advisor. Valuation recommendations, along with supporting documentation, for each investment are provided to the Company. |
| • | | Following Company management review, valuation recommendations and supporting documentation are provided to the Company’s audit committee for further review. |
| • | | As a final step, the Company’s board of trustees discusses the investment valuation recommendations with the Advisor, the Company’s independent third-party valuation firm, where applicable, and the Company’s management, and based on those discussions and the related review process conducted by the Company’s audit committee, determines the fair value of the investments in good faith. |

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s audited financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on the Company’s financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the Company’s board of trustees may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, the Company’s board of trustees 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 the Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that the Company’s board of trustees deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of trustees may consider when determining the fair value of the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s 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.
The Company’s equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Company’s board of trustees, in its determination of fair value, may consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.
The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of trustees 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. The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and the Company’s board of trustees 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 the Company’s board of trustees, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of the Company’s 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 the Company receives 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. The Company’s board of trustees subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.
The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined in good faith by the Company’s board of trustees. The Company’s board of trustees is responsible for the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. The Company’s board of trustees has delegatedday-to-day responsibility for implementing its valuation policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the Company’s board of trustees. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the Advisor’s implementation of the valuation process.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Security Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Company measures realized gains or losses from the sale of investments using the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. The amortized cost basis of investments includes (i) the original cost and (ii) adjustments for the accretion/amortization of market discounts and premiums and original issue discount and loan origination fees. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the statements of operations.
Interest Income—Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums to par value and accretion of discounts to par value. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Generally, loan origination, closing, commitment and other fees received by the Company directly or indirectly from borrowers in connection with the closing of investments are accreted over the contractual life of the debt investment as interest income based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a debt investment, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees and discounts are recorded as interest income.
Certain of the Company’s investments in debt securities contain a contractualpayment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. The PIK provisions generally feature the obligation or the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in (i) cash, (ii) additional debt securities or (iii) a combination of cash and additional debt securities. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, is accrued as interest income and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. When additional PIK securities are received on the interest payment date, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. PIK interest generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer.
If the portfolio company valuation indicates the value of the PIK investment is not sufficient to cover the contractual PIK interest, the Company will not accrue additional PIK interest income and will record an allowance for any accrued PIK interest receivable as a reduction of interest income in the period the Company determines it is not collectible.
Debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest payments are at least 90 days past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Generally, accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest payments received on debt securities on nonaccrual status may be recognized as interest income or applied to principal based on management’s judgment. Debt securities on nonaccrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, such investments are likely to remain current on interest payment obligations. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if the debt security has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Fee Income—In its role as the Company’s investment adviser, the Advisor or its affiliates may provide financial advisory services to portfolio companies and in return may receive fees for capital structuring services. The Advisor is obligated to remit to the Company any earned capital structuring fees based on the pro-rata portion of the Company’s investmentin co-investment transactions and originated investments. These fees are generally nonrecurring and are recognized as fee income by the Company upon the investment closing date. The Company may also receive fees for commitments, amendments and other services related to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as fee income when earned or the services are rendered.
Dividend Income—Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or onthe ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from a limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”)
F-361
Corporate Capital Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated earnings in the LLC and LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Derivative Instruments—The Company’s derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the statements of operations.
Paid In Capital—The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common stock on a net basis to (i) capital stock and(ii) paid-in capital in excess of par value, excludingup-front selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
Deferred Financing Costs—Financing costs, including upfront fees, commitment fees and legal fees related to the Company’s credit facility are deferred and amortized over the life of the related financing instrument using the straight-line method. The amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation, Transactions and Gains/Losses—Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period for the fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities; and (ii) at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective recording dates for the purchase and sale of investment securities, income, expenses, gains and losses.
Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above and the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore, fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversions are included with the net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currency, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Company and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Company.
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency translation for other receivables or payables is presented as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in foreign currency translation in the statements of operations.
Management Fees—The Company incurs a base management fee (recorded as investment advisory fees) and performance-based incentive fees, including (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains, due to the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement described in Note 4. The two components of performance-based incentive fees are combined and expensed in the statements of operations and accrued as accrued performance-based incentive fees in the statements of assets and liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, 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 Investment Advisory Agreement) based on the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized depreciation at year end, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Although the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement do not provide for the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains, pursuant to relevant authoritative guidance for investment companies, the Company includes unrealized gains in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains expense and related accrued incentive fee on capital gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to the Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.
Organization and Offering Expenses—Organization expenses were expensed on the Company’s statements of operations. Offering expenses were capitalized on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and
F-362
Corporate Capital Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
expensed to the Company’s statements of operations over a12-month period, however, the deferral period did not exceed 12 months from the date the Former Advisors incurred the offering expenses.
Earnings per Share—Earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.
Distributions—Distributions to the Company’s shareholders are recognized as a liability on the applicable record date. Subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of trustees and applicable legal restrictions, the Company intends to declare and pay such distributions on a quarterly basis. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of shareholders. Shareholders who have elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock.
Federal Income Taxes—The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to maintain its qualification, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its “Investment Company Taxable Income,” as defined in the Code. The Company intends to distribute sufficient amounts to maintain RIC status and minimize income taxes on undistributed capital gains and investment company taxable income.
The Company is generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute to its shareholders an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for theone-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company may pay a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on under-distribution of capital gains and net ordinary income.
The Company recognizes in its financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is deemed more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet themore-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax expenses in the current year. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC740-10-25,Income Taxes—Overall—Recognition , nor did it have any unrecognized tax benefits for the periods presented herein. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its major tax jurisdiction is federal.
Permanentbook-to-tax basis differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate on an annual basis. Additionally, the tax character and amount of distributions is determined in accordance with the Code which differs from GAAP.
Reclassifications—Certain amounts in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has revised its investment categories to reclassify investments that were previously categorized as Equity/Other to two new categories of Asset Based Finance and Equity/Other. This revision better distinguishes between corporate equity investments and investments that are primarily collateralized by hard assets, financial assets or investments in specialty finance platforms that provide exposure to hard assets or financial assets. The Company’s Asset Based Finance investments may be in the form of debt, equity, derivatives or private placement funds. The Company has adjusted the presentation of its asset categories for all periods presented to conform to the current period presentation.

On February 7, 2017, the Company’s board of trustees increased the public offering price of the Company’s continuous public offering of common stock from $9.75 per share to $9.80 per share. This increase in the Company’s public offering price became effective as of February 7, 2017. As a result of the increase in the Company’s public offering per share, the Company’s maximum sales load per share and the net proceeds per share correspondingly increased from $0.463 to $0.466 and from $9.29 to $9.33, respectively.
From inception through the suspension of the Company’s Offering on January 10, 2018, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $123.6 million (12.8 million shares) through its Offering, including approximately $3.4 million (0.4 million shares) through its distribution reinvestment plan. Following the suspension and subsequent termination of its Offering effective April 30, 2018, the Company has and will continue to issue shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 392,783 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan for gross proceeds of $3,601. During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 12, 2019, the Company issued 95,573 shares of common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan at $8.54 per share for gross proceeds of $833.

The Company conducts quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company currently limits the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of shares of its common stock under is distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company’s board of trustees, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of investments as the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company limits repurchases in each quarter to 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Managing Dealer Agreement and Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Company was a party to a managing dealer agreement with CNL Securities Corp., an affiliate of CNL. CNL Securities Corp. which served as the managing dealer (the “Managing Dealer”) of the Company’s Offering and in connection therewith receivedup-front selling commissions of up to 2.00% of gross offering proceeds,up-front dealer manager fees of up to 2.75% of gross offering proceeds and ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees at an annualized rate of 1.25% of the Company’s most recently published net asset value per share, excluding shares issued through the distribution reinvestment plan. All or any portion of these fees werere-allowed to participating brokers.
On March 16, 2017, the board of trustees approved an amended and restated managing dealer agreement (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”) between the Company and the Managing Dealer and approved an amended and restated distribution and shareholder servicing plan for the Company (the “Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan”) which lowered the ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fee paid to the Managing Dealer from an annualized rate of 1.25% to an annualized rate of 1.00% of the Company’s net asset value per share. On April 9, 2018, the Managing Dealer Agreement and the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan were terminated effective April 30, 2018.
Investment Advisory Agreements
On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Investment Advisory Agreement (as defined below) and concurrently entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Advisor a fee for their services consisting of two components—a base management fee based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets and incentive fees based on the Company’s performance. The incentive fee consists of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, as compared to the annual rate of 2.00% under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the calculation of the base management fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement excludes cash and cash equivalents from gross assets, as
F-365
Corporate Capital Trust II
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
compared to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which included cash and cash equivalents within the definition of gross assets. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor serves as the sole investment adviser of the Company.
Previously, the Company was a party to an investment advisory agreement with CNL (the “Former Investment Advisory Agreement”) for the overall management of the Company’s activities. CNL was a party to asub-advisory agreement with KKR (the “FormerSub-Advisory Agreement”), under which KKR was responsible for theday-to-day management of the Company’s investment portfolio. Pursuant to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL earned (i) a management fee equal to an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s average gross assets, and (ii) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The incentive fee consisted of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. CNL compensated KKR for advisory services that it provided to the Company with 50% of the fees that CNL received under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
A subordinated incentive fee on income is payable to the Advisor each calendar quarter if the Company’spre-incentive fee net investment fee income (as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement and approved by the Company’s board of trustees) exceeds the 1.75% quarterly preference return to the Company’s shareholders (the ratio ofpre-incentive fee net investment income divided by average adjusted capital).
The annual incentive fees on capital gains recorded for GAAP purposes are equal to (i) 20% of the Company’s realized and unrealized capital gains on a cumulative basis since inception, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception, less (ii) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. For financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, the Company includes unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio in the calculation of incentive fees on capital gains; however, such amounts are not payable by the Company unless and until the net unrealized appreciation is actually realized. The actual amount of incentive fees on capital gains that are due and payable to the Advisor is determined at the end of the calendar year.
The terms of the incentive fees are substantially the same as those to which the Former Advisors were entitled to receive under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Company did not incur any subordinated incentive fee on income under the Investment Advisory Agreements during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company has not accrued any incentive fees payable on capital gains under the Investment Advisory Agreements as of December 31, 2018.
Under the terms of the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL (and indirectly KKR) was entitled to receive up to 1.50% of gross offering proceeds as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors had incurred organization and offering costs of approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 2018 on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors waived the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses in connection with the Company’s gross capital raise received from the Offering from March 1, 2016 (when the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement) through April 30, 2017 (the “O&O Reimbursement Waiver”). The O&O Reimbursement Waiver did not reduce the amount of organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors that were eligible for reimbursement in future periods based on subsequent gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017. Gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017 was subject to the maximum organization and offering cost reimbursement of 1.50%. The Former Advisors were entitled to reimbursement of approximately $400 of organization and offering costs for gross capital raised for the period May 1, 2017 through April 9, 2018, all of which had been reimbursed to the Former Advisors as of April 9, 2018. A contingent obligation for the balance of organization and offering costs, subject to reimbursement based on future gross proceeds raised assuming a reinstatement of the Company’s Offering, was approximately $5,000 as of April 30, 2018.
On April 30, 2018, the Company terminated its Offering and in conjunction therewith, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on the Company’s behalf. As such, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had no contingent obligations to reimburse its Former Advisors for organization and offering expenses.

Administrative Services Agreements
The Company was a party to an administrative services agreement with CNL (“Former Administrative Services Agreement”), under which CNL performed, or oversaw the performance of, various administrative services on behalf of the Company. Administrative services included investor services, general ledger accounting, fund accounting, maintaining required financial records, calculating the Company’s net asset value, filing tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing, and disseminating shareholder reports and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company reimbursed CNL for administrative expenses it incurred in performing its obligations.
On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Administrative Services Agreement with CNL and concurrently entered into a new administrative services agreement with the Advisor (the “Administrative Services Agreement”). Under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Advisor serves as the Company’s administrator. The terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, including the services to be provided by the Advisor as administrator and the amount of reimbursements to be paid by the Company for certain administrative expenses, are substantially the same as those under the Former Administrative Services Agreement.
Expense Support Agreements
The Company was a party to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended and restated (the “Former Expense Support Agreement”) with the Former Advisors pursuant to which the Former Advisors jointly and severally agreed to pay to the Company some or all of its operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”) for each month during the Former Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) in which the Company’s board of trustees declared a distribution to its shareholders. Expense Support Payments were made in accordance with the terms of the Former Expense Support Agreement. The “Expense Support Payment Period” commenced on March 1, 2016 and terminated effective with the termination of the Former Expense Support Agreement on April 9, 2018.
The Former Advisors were entitled to be reimbursed promptly by the Company (a “Reimbursement Payment”) for Expense Support Payments made with respect to any class of common stock, subject to the limitation that no Reimbursement Payment may be made by the Company to the extent that it would cause the Company’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) for such class of common stock to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of average net assets attributable to common shares on an annualized basis after taking such payment into account and (B) the percentage of average net assets attributable to shares of such class of common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) during the period in which such Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) did not apply to any reimbursement payment which related to an Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors made during the same period).
Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”), which replaced the Former Expense Support Agreement. The Expense Support Agreement was substantially similar to the Former Expense Support Agreement.
On November 14, 2018, the Advisor announced that for any calendar month ending on or prior to September 30, 2019, it will defer the receipt of base management fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s shareholders in the calendar month exceeds the sum of the Company’s investment company taxable income (as defined in Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code), net capital gains (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code) and dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts were not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in the calendar month, or collectively, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis. The Advisor will only receive any deferred fees in a future calendar month if, and to the extent that, the Company’s distributable funds on a tax basis in the future calendar month exceeds the Company’s distributions paid to the Company’s shareholders in such month. In light of this commitment by the Advisor, the Expense Support Agreement was

terminated on November 14, 2018. The Company’s conditional obligation to reimburse the Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement survived the termination of such agreement. Prior to September 30, 2019, the Advisor will evaluate whether to extend this commitment to future periods.
The Company has and will continue to accrue base management fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued $695 in base management fees due to the Advisor.

The Company did not have any derivative instruments as of or during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts aremarked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract forward exchange rate and the forward market exchange rate on the last day of the period presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties.
The Company was a party to two foreign currency forward contracts during the period which related to economic hedging of the Company’s foreign currency denominated debt investments. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s open foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Note 8. 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:
Level1 : Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2 : Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level3 : 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.

(1) | Certain investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. |
(2) | Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values. |
(3) | This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |
The preceding tables represent the significant unobservable inputs as they relate to the Company’s determination of fair values for the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the table above, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value estimates for the Company’s investments. Any significant increases or decreases in the unobservable inputs would result in significant increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company’s investments.
Investments that do not have a readily available market value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow approach), or both approaches, as appropriate. The market comparables approach uses prices, including third party indicative broker quotes, and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) that are discounted based on a required or expected discount rate to derive a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors the Company may take into account to determine the fair value of its investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including an assessment of the credit quality of the security’s issuer, relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, illiquidity discounts, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, data derived from merger and acquisition activities for comparable companies, and enterprise values, among other factors.

(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 is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per share of common stock outstanding during the entire period; distributions per share are rounded to the nearest $0.01. |
(4) | See Note 5 for further information on the source of distributions from other than net investment income and realized gains. |
(5) | The issuance of common stock may cause an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share data was derived by computing (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares issued in connection with subscriptions and/or distribution reinvestment on each share transaction date times (B) the differences between the net proceeds per share and the net asset value per share on each share transaction date, divided by (ii) the total shares outstanding at the end of the period. |

(6) | The per share impact of the Company’s repurchase of common stock reflects a change in net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the year ended December 31, 2018. |
(7) | Total investment return–net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions declared during the period. Total investment return–net asset value is based on (i) net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) distributions payable relating to one share, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return–net asset value calculation assumes that (i) monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the fractional shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then current public offering price, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s shares, terminal market value per share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per share on the last day of the period presented. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s shares of common stock. Total investment return is not annualized for periods less than one year. |
(8) | The computation of average net assets during the period is based on the daily value of net assets and borrowing balances, respectively. Ratios for periods less than one year are not annualized. |
Note 13. Federal Income Tax
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.The book-to-tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Company and expenses incurred by the Company. Permanentbook-to-tax differences, both in timing and character, result in reclassifications to (i) capital in excess of par value and (ii) retained earnings (accumulated deficit), as appropriate.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company increased retained earnings (accumulated deficit) by $495 and reduced capital in excess of par value by $495. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased retained earnings (accumulated deficit) by $1,188 and reduced capital in excess of par value by $1,188.
The following table reconciles net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations to estimated taxable income available for distributions for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had estimated taxable income in excess of the distributions made from such taxable income during the year. The undistributed taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2018 is estimated to be $1,929, which will not be finalized until the 2018 tax returns are filed in 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had taxable income in excess of the distributions made from such taxable income during the year, and therefore, the amounts carried forward to 2018 were $580.
The Company is generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute to its shareholders an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses forthe one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company determined it had excess excise tax base income over the current year distributions. Accordingly, the Company recorded U.S. federal excise tax of $100, $17 and $6 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

7.6Company Takeover Proposals.
(a) If on or after the date of this Agreement and at any time prior to the Applicable Stockholders Meeting: (i) a Company receives a bona fide unsolicited Takeover Proposal (under circumstances in which such Company has complied in all material respects with the provisions ofSections 7.5(a) and(b)); (ii) the Board of Governors of such Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that (x) failure to consider such Takeover Proposal would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of such Company under applicable Law and (y) such Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal; and (iii) such Company gives the other parties to this Agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice of the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal and such Company’s intention to furnish information to, or participate in discussions or negotiations with, the Person making such Takeover Proposal then, subject to compliance with thisSection 7.6(a), such Company may:
(i) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Person who has made the unsolicited bona fide Takeover Proposal and provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made such Takeover Proposal if such Company (A) receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement with customary terms (including a standstill) and (B) provides the other parties to this Agreement a copy of all such information that has not previously been delivered to such parties simultaneously with delivery to such Person (or such Person’s Representatives and Affiliates); and
(ii) after fulfilling its obligations underSection 7.6(b) below, adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend such Takeover Proposal, including entering into an agreement with respect thereto (collectively, a “Takeover Approval”).
If on or after the date of this Agreement and at any time prior to the Applicable Stockholders Meeting, the Board of Governors of such Company shall have determined, by a majority of its members, after consultation with its outside legal counsel that continued recommendation of the Applicable Matters to such Company’s stockholders would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of such Company under applicable Law as a result of a Superior Proposal, such Company may (A) withdraw or qualify (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to the other parties to this Agreement), or publicly propose to withdraw or qualify (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to the other parties to this Agreement), the approval, adoption, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of Governors such Company of the Applicable Matters, including the recommendation of the Board of Governors of such Company that the stockholders of
A-33
such Company approve the Merger (the “Applicable Recommendation”) and (B) take any action or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Applicable Stockholders Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Applicable Recommendation (any action described in clause (A) and (B), with respect to any Company, referred to collectively with any Takeover Approval as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).
(b) Upon any determination that a Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, such Company shall promptly provide (and in any event within 24 hours of such determination) to the other parties to this Agreement a written notice (a “Notice of a Superior Proposal”) (i) advising the other parties to this Agreement that the Board of Governors of such Company has received a Superior Proposal, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including the amount per share or other consideration that the stockholders of such Company will receive in connection with the Superior Proposal and including a copy of all written materials provided to or by such Company in connection with such Superior Proposal (unless previously provided to the other parties to this Agreement) and (iii) identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal. Such Company shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith with each other party to this Agreement (to the extent such party desires to negotiate) during the five (5) calendar day period following such parties’ receipt of the Notice of a Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new two (2) calendar day period) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable such Company to determine that such Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal and proceed with the Applicable Recommendation without an Adverse Recommendation Change. If thereafter the Board of Governors of such Company determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, by a majority of its members, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after giving effect to any proposed adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal or the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of such Company under applicable Law, and such Company has complied in all material respects withSection 7.6(a) above, such Company may terminate this Agreement with respect to itself pursuant toSection 9.1(c)(iv).
(c) Other than as permitted bySection 7.6(a), neither such Company nor the Board of Governors of such Company shall make any Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Applicable Matters or any other approval of the Board of Governors of such Company, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any Takeover Statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the Transactions.
(d) Such Company shall provide the other parties to this Agreement with prompt written notice of any meeting of such Company’s Board of Governors at which such Company’s Board of Governors is reasonably expected to consider any Takeover Proposal (such written notice shall in any event be received by the other parties to this Agreement reasonably in advance of such meeting).
(e) Other than in connection with a Takeover Proposal, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict a Company’s Board of Governors from taking any action described in clause (A) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, in response to an Intervening Event (an “Intervening Event Recommendation Change”) if (A) prior to effecting any such Intervening Event Recommendation Change, such Company promptly notifies the other parties to this Agreement, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the applicable “Intervening Event Notice Period”) before taking such action of its intent to consider such action (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or an Intervening Event Recommendation Change), and which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for taking, such action, (B) such Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with the other parties to this Agreement in good faith (to the extent such parties desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that would not permit such Company’s Board of Governors to make an Intervening Event Recommendation Change, and (C) such Company’s Board of Governors (or a committee thereof) determines, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to effect such an Intervening Event Recommendation Change, as applicable, after taking into account any adjustments made by the other parties to this Agreement during the Intervening Event Notice Period, would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of such Company under applicable Law.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit any Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to any Takeover Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure to such Company’s stockholders if, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, such Company determines that such disclosure would be required under applicable Law;provided,however, that any such disclosures (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Governors of such Company expressly publicly reaffirms the Applicable Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within three (3) Business Days after being requested in writing to do so by the other parties to this Agreement.

(b) Upon any determination that a Takeover Proposal constitutes a FSIC II Superior Proposal, FSIC II shall promptly provide (and in any event within 24 hours of such determination) to each Company a written notice (a “Notice of a FSIC II Superior Proposal”) (i) advising such Company that the Board of Governors of FSIC II has received a FSIC II Superior Proposal, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such FSIC II Superior Proposal, including the amount per share or other consideration that the stockholders of FSIC II will receive in connection with the Superior Proposal and including a copy of all written materials provided to or by FSIC II in connection with such FSIC II Superior Proposal (unless previously provided to such Company) and (iii) identifying the Person making such FSIC II Superior Proposal. FSIC II shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith with CCT II (to the extent CCT II desires to negotiate), FSIC III (to the extent FSIC III desires to negotiate) and FSIC IV (to the extent FSIC IV desires to negotiate) during the five (5) calendar day period following CCT II’s, FSIC III’s and FSIC IV’s receipt of the Notice of a FSIC II Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such FSIC II Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new two (2) calendar day period) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable FSIC II to determine that such FSIC II Superior Proposal is no longer a FSIC II Superior Proposal and proceed with a FSIC II Recommendation without a FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change. If thereafter the Board of Governors of FSIC II determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, by a majority of its members, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after giving effect to any proposed adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that such FSIC II Superior Proposal remains a FSIC II Superior Proposal or the failure to make such FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of FSIC II under applicable Law, and FSIC II has complied in all material respects withSection 7.7(a) above, FSIC II may terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.1(d)(iv).
(c) Other than as permitted bySection 7.7(a), neither FSIC II nor the Board of Governors of FSIC II shall make any FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the FSIC II Matters or any other approval of the Board of Governors of FSIC II, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any Takeover Statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the Transactions.
(d) FSIC II shall provide each Company with prompt written notice of any meeting of FSIC II’s Board of Governors at which FSIC II’s Board of Governors is reasonably expected to consider any Takeover Proposal (such written notice shall in any event be received by each Company reasonably in advance of such meeting).
A-35
(e) Other than in connection with an FSIC II Takeover Proposal, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict FSIC II’s Board of Governors from taking any action described in clause (A) of the definition of FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event (an “FSIC II Intervening Event Recommendation Change”) if (A) prior to effecting any such FSIC II Intervening Event Recommendation Change, FSIC II promptly notifies each Company, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the “FSIC II Intervening Event Notice Period”) before taking such action of its intent to consider such action (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute an FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change or an FSIC II Intervening Event Recommendation Change), and which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for taking, such action, (B) FSIC II shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the FSIC II Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with CCT II in good faith (to the extent CCT II desires to negotiate), FSIC III in good faith (to the extent FSIC III desires to negotiate) and FSIC IV (to the extent FSIC IV desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that would not permit FSIC II’s Board of Governors to make a FSIC II Intervening Event Recommendation Change, and (C) FSIC II’s Board of Governors (or a committee thereof) determines, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to effect such a FSIC II Intervening Event Recommendation Change, as applicable, after taking into account any adjustments made by the Companies during the FSIC II Intervening Event Notice Period, would be reasonably likely to be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the directors of FSIC II under applicable Law.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit FSIC II from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to any Takeover Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure to FSIC II’s stockholders if, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, FSIC II determines that such disclosure would be required under applicable Law;provided,however, that any such disclosures (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a FSIC II Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Governors of FSIC II expressly publicly reaffirms the FSIC II Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within three (3) Business Days after being requested in writing to do so by the Companies.
7.8Access to Information.
(a) Upon reasonable notice, except as may otherwise be restricted by applicable Law, each of CCT II, FSIC III, FSIC IV and FSIC II shall, and shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, afford to the directors, officers, accountants, counsel, advisors and other Representatives of the other parties, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to its properties, books, Contracts, and records and, during such period, such party shall, and shall cause its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, make available (including via EDGAR) to the other parties all other information concerning its business and properties as the other parties may reasonably request;provided that the foregoing shall not require CCT II, FSIC III, FSIC IV or FSIC II, as applicable, to afford access to or to disclose any information that in such party’s reasonable judgment would violate any confidentiality obligations to which such party is subject to if after using its reasonable best efforts with respect thereto, it was unable to obtain any required consent to provide such access or make such disclosure;provided,further, that any of CCT II, FSIC III, FSIC IV or FSIC II may restrict access to the extent required by any applicable Law or as may be necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege under any circumstances in which such privilege may be jeopardized by such disclosure or access.

Neither FSIC II, FSIC III, FSIC IV nor CCT II will take any action that would cause the Transactions to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Statutes.

11.8Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.

The Base Management Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, and shall be calculated based on the average weekly value of theCorporation’sCompany’s gross assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter. All or any part of the Base Management Fee not taken as to any quarter shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser shall determine.
C-4
(b)(b)Incentive Fee. The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:
(i)(i)The first part of the Incentive Fee, referred to as the “Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income,” shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on theCorporation’sCompany’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The payment of the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall be subject to a quarterly hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return onAdjusted Capital (as defined below) at the beginningthe value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle Rate”), subject to a “catch up” feature (as described below).
For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that theCorporationCompany receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus theCorporation’sCompany’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expensespayable under this Agreementreimbursed to the Adviser under that certain Administration Agreement, dated as of [ ], as the same may be amended from time to time, whereby the Adviser providesadministrative services necessary for the operation of theCompany and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares (other than shares of Recapitalization Preferred Stock), but excluding the Incentive Fee).Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments withpayment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that theCorporationCompany has not yet received in cash.Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
For purposes of this fee,“Adjusted Capital” shall mean cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Corporation’s Common Stock (including proceeds from the Corporation’s distribution reinvestment plan) reduced fordistributions fromnon-liquidating dispositions of the Corporation’s investments paid to stockholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program.
The calculation of the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income for each quarter is as follows:
(A)(A)No Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate;
(B)(B)100% of theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) shall be payable to the Adviser. This portion of theCorporation’sCompany’s Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 2.1875% (8.75% annualized)on net assets in any calendar quarter; and
(C)(C)For any quarter in which theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) on net assets, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall equal 20.0% of the amount of theCorporation’sCompany’sPre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Hurdle Rate andcatch-up will have been achieved.;
provided that, commencing with the quarter ended [ ],the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is subject to a cap (the“Incentive Fee Cap”).
The Incentive Fee Cap is an amount equal to:
(i)20.0% ofthe Per SharePre-Incentive Fee Return for the Current Quarter (as defined below) and the eleven quarters (or such fewer number of quarters) preceding the Current Quarter commencing with the quarter ended [ ],less
(ii)the cumulative Per Share Incentive Fees accrued and/or payable for the eleven calendar quarters (or such fewer number of quarters) preceding the Current Quarter commencing with the quarter ended [ ].
multipliedby the weighted average number ofshares of common stock of theCompany outstanding during the calendar quarter (or any portion thereof) for which the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is being calculated (the“Current Quarter”).
For the foregoing purpose, the“Per SharePre-Incentive Fee Return” for any calendar quarter is an amount equal to:
(i)the sum of thePre-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,divided by
C-5
(ii)the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during such calendar quarter.
For the foregoing purpose, 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 of common stock of the Company outstanding during such calendar quarter.
If the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company shall pay no Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income to the Adviser for the Current Quarter.
If the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee Cap for the Current Quarter.
If the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income for the Current Quarter.
(ii)The second part of the Incentive Fee, referred to as the “Incentive Fee on Capital Gains,” shall bean incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfoliodetermined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of this Agreement). This fee shall equal 20.0% of theCorporation’s(ii) Company’sincentive fee capital gains, which shall equal theCorporation’srealized capital gains(without duplication) of Corporate Capital Trust II (“CCT II”), FS Investment Corporation III (“FSIC III”), FS Investment Corporation IV (“FSIC IV”) and the Company on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end ofthe applicable periodeach calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation(without duplication) on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of anypreviously paidcapital gain incentive fees previously paid by CCT II, FSIC III, FSIC IV and the Company.

C-16
APPENDIX A
NOTE: All percentages herein refer toAdjusted Capitalnet assets.
Example 1: Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income for Each Calendar Quarter*
Scenario 1
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25%
Hurdle Rate(1) = 1.75%
Base Management Fee(2) = 0.375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.2%
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
(investment income – (Base Management Fee + other expenses)) = 0.675%
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate, therefore there is no Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income payable.
Scenario 2
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.675%
Hurdle Rate(1) = 1.75%
Base Management Fee(2) = 0.375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.2%
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
(investment income – (Base Management Fee + other expenses)) = 2.1%
Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income = 100%× Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (subject to “catch-up”)(4)
= 100% x (2.1% – 1.75%)
= 0.35%
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds the Hurdle Rate, but does not fully satisfy the “catch-up” provision, therefore the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is 0.35%.
Scenario 3
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.5%
Hurdle Rate(1) = 1.75%
Base Management Fee(2) = 0.375%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.2%
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
(investment income – (Base Management Fee + other expenses)) = 2.925%
Catch up = 100%× Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (subject to “catch-up”)(4)
Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income = 100%× “catch-up” + (20.0%× (Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income – 2.1875%))
Catch-up = 2.1875% – 1.75%
= 0.4375%
Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income = (100% × 0.4375%) + (20.0% × (2.925% – 2.1875%))
= 0.4375% + (20.0% × 0.7375%)
= 0.4375% + 0.1475%
= 0.585%
C-17
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds the Hurdle Rate and fully satisfies the “catch-up” provision, therefore the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is 0.585%.
(1) | Represents 7.0% annualized Hurdle Rate. |
(2) | Represents 1.5% annualized Base Management Fee on average weekly gross assets. Examples assume assets are equal to Adjusted Capital. |
(3) | Excludes organizational and offering costs. |
(4) | The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee of 20.0% onall Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Corporation’s net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. |
Example 2: Incentive Fee on Capital Gains*
Scenario 1:
Assumptions
Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), and $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”)
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million and fair market value (“FMV”) of Investment B determined to be $32 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million
Year 4: Investment B sold for $31 million
The Incentive Fee on Capital Gains would be:
Year 1: None
Year 2: Incentive Fee on Capital Gains of $6 million ($30 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A multiplied by 20.0%)
Year 3: None, because $5 million (20.0% multiplied by ($30 million cumulative capital gains less $5 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $6 million (previous capital gain incentive fee paid to the Adviser in Year 2) is less than $0
Year 4: Incentive Fee on Capital Gains of $200,000, because $6.2 million ($31 million cumulative realized capital gains multiplied by 20.0%) less $6 million (previous capital gain incentive fee paid to the Adviser in Year 2) is $200,000
Scenario 2
Assumptions
Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”) and $25 million investment made in Company C (“Investment C”)
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million and FMV of Investment C determined to be $25 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $27 million and Investment C sold for $30 million
Year 4: FMV of Investment B determined to be $35 million
Year 5: Investment B sold for $20 million
The Incentive Fee on Capital Gains, if any, would be:
Year 1: None

C-18
Year 3: $1.4 million Incentive Fee on Capital Gains, because $6.4 million (20.0% multiplied by $32 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains less $3 million unrealized capital depreciation)) less $5 million capital gain incentive fee paid to the Adviser in Year 2 is $1.4 million
Year 4: None
Year 5: None, because $5 million (20.0% multiplied by $25 million (cumulative realized capital gains of $35 million less realized capital losses of $10 million)) less $6.4 million cumulative capital gain incentive fee paid to the Adviser in Year 2 and Year 3 is less than $0
