FLAT ROCK CORE INCOME FUND
SUPPLEMENT NO. 2, DATED MARCH 4, 2025
TO THE PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DATED APRIL 29, 2024
This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”), each dated April 29, 2024, relating to the Fund’s offering of unlimited common shares of beneficial interest.
Terms used and not otherwise defined in this Supplement No. 2 shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and/or SAI.
Effective February 28, 2025, the base management fee for the Fund is calculated and payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.375% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during such period. Previously, the base management fee was calculated and payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.375% of the Fund’s average daily total assets during such period. Accordingly, all references to the base management fee in the Fund’s prospectus and SAI are revised to reference calculation based on the Fund’s “net” assets. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Flat Rock Global, LLC will be available in the Fund’s semi-annual report to shareholders for the period ending June 30, 2025.
In addition, the section “FUND EXPENSES” is replaced in its entirety with the following:

| (1) | Management fees have been restated to reflect calculation based on average daily net assets. |
| (2) | The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Fund’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund’s adjusted capital, equal to 1.50% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.00%, subject to a “catch-up” feature. |
| (3) | These expenses represent interest payments incurred by the Fund in connection with its outstanding preferred stock and borrowing during the prior fiscal year. The Fund maintains a $75 million revolving line of credit through a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary, FRC Funding, with certain Lenders. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had 1,000 shares outstanding of 4.00% Series A Term Preferred Stock Due 2026 and 1,000 shares outstanding of 4.50% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2025. |
| (4) | Other expenses include accounting, legal and auditing fees, reimbursement of the compensation for administrative personnel and fees payable to the Fund’s independent trustees. |
| (5) | Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies, including private funds that rely on Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. These indirect costs may include performance fees paid to the acquired fund’s adviser or its affiliates. It does not include brokerage or transaction costs incurred by the acquired funds. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Therefore, amounts may not agree with the Fund’s financial highlights. |
The Fund Expenses Table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
The following example illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would pay on a $1,000 investment. The example assumes annual expenses attributable to shares remain unchanged from the levels described in the Fund Expenses Table above and assumes shares earn a 5% annual return.
| 1 Year | | | 3 Years | | | 5 Years | | | 10 Years | |
| $ | 80 | | | $ | 232 | | | $ | 373 | | | $ | 687 | |
The purpose of the above table is to help a holder of shares understand the fees and expenses that such holder would bear directly or indirectly.
The example should not be considered a representation of actual future expenses. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown.
