ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held On July 8, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors (the “Board”) of FS Credit Opportunities Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), for use at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 8, 2024, at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). This proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed on or about May 21, 2024 to stockholders of record described below and are available at www.proxyvote.com.

All properly executed proxies representing shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), or shares of preferred stock of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”, and together with the Common Shares” the “Shares”)¹ received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. If no specification is made, the Shares will be voted FOR the proposal to:

Any stockholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise. Any stockholder who executes a proxy may revoke it with respect to any proposal by attending the Annual Meeting and voting his or her Shares in person, or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy to the Company at the above address prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.

Quorum

Stockholders of the Company are entitled to one vote for each Common Share or Preferred Share held. Under the Charter of the Company, one-third of the number of Shares entitled to cast votes, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be treated as Shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Annual Meeting.

Adjournments

In the event that a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the Annual Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice, other than the announcement at the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any business that might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.

1

If it appears that there are not enough votes to approve any proposal at the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the record date originally fixed for the Annual Meeting without notice, other than announcement at the Annual Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment.

If sufficient votes in favor of one or more proposals have been received by the time of the Annual Meeting, the proposals will be acted upon and such actions will be final, regardless of any subsequent adjournment to consider other proposals.

Record Date

The Board has fixed the close of business on May 15, 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 198,355,867 Common Shares outstanding and 400,000 Preferred Shares outstanding.

Required Vote

Broker Non-Votes and Voting Proxies

Shares for which brokers have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owners of the Shares and do not have, or choose not to exercise, discretionary authority to vote the Shares on certain proposals (which are considered “broker non-votes” with respect to such proposals) will be treated as Shares present for quorum purposes. Broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and thus have no effect on the Director Election Proposal.

Brokers holding Shares of the Company in “street name” for the benefit of the beneficial owners of the Shares will request the instructions of such beneficial owners of the Shares on how to vote their Shares on the Director Election Proposal before the Annual Meeting. The Company understands that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), such brokers may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from the beneficial owners of the Shares, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker’s request for voting instructions.

2

The Director Election Proposal is uncontested and is considered a “routine” matter under the rules of NYSE, and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by brokers in favor of the Director Election Proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of the Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s Shares should be voted on the Director Election Proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the Director Election Proposal.

Householding

Mailings for multiple stockholders going to a single household are combined by delivering to that address, in a single envelope, a copy of the documents (annual reports, proxy statements, etc.) or other communications for all stockholders who have consented or are deemed to have consented to receiving such communications in such manner in accordance with the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If you do not want to continue to receive combined mailings of Company communications and would prefer to receive separate mailings of Company communications, and you are a registered stockholder, please contact the Company’s transfer agent, DST Systems, Inc. by phone at (877) 628-8575 or by mail to FS Credit Opportunities Corp., c/o DST Systems, Inc., P.O. Box 219095, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9095. If you are a beneficial stockholder, you may contact the broker or bank where you hold the account to discontinue combined mailings of Company communications.

Voting

You may vote at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy in accordance with the instructions provided below. You may also authorize a proxy by telephone or through the Internet using the toll-free telephone number or web address printed on your proxy card. Authorizing a proxy by telephone or through the Internet requires you to input the control number located on your proxy card. After inputting the control number, you will be prompted to direct your proxy to vote on each proposal. You will have an opportunity to review your directions and make any necessary changes before submitting your directions and terminating the telephone call or Internet link. Stockholders of the Company are entitled to one vote for each Share held.

When voting by proxy and mailing your proxy card, you are required to:

The Company’s proxy statement and the proxy card are available at www.proxyvote.com. If you plan on attending the Annual Meeting and voting your Shares in person, you will need to bring photo identification in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. If your Shares are held through a broker and you attend the Annual Meeting in person, please bring a letter from your broker identifying you as the beneficial owner of the Shares and authorizing you to vote your Shares at the Annual Meeting.

Other Information Regarding This Solicitation

The Company will bear the expense of the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the proxy card. The Company has requested that brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons holding Shares 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 Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in so doing.

3

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 regular employees of the Company and its affiliates (without special compensation therefor). The Company has also retained Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of approximately $20,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by notice from the person giving the proxy at any time before it is exercised. Any such notice of revocation should be provided in writing and signed by the stockholder in the same manner as the proxy being revoked and delivered to the Company’s proxy tabulator.

Annual Reports

The Company will furnish to its stockholders, free of charge, a copy of its most recent annual and semi-annual reports upon request to FS Credit Opportunities Corp., Attn: Investor Relations, 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19112.

DOLLAR RANGE OF SECURITIES BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY DIRECTORS

The following table sets forth, as of May 1, 2024, the dollar range of the Company’s equity securities that are beneficially owned by each member of the Board.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES

Background

Pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, the number of directors on the Board may not be fewer than one, as required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, or greater than twelve. The Board currently has seven Directors, each of whom will hold office for the term to which he or she was elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Pursuant to the Charter, the seven Directors are currently divided into three classes (each a “Class”): Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class of Directors holds office for a three-year term. The current Class II Directors hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting. The current Class III Directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting. The current Class I Directors hold office for a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders of the Company are being asked to consider the election of and Philip E. Hughes, Jr. and Robert N.C. Nix, III as Class II Directors. Each of Philip E. Hughes, Jr. and Robert N.C. Nix, III have been nominated for re-election for a three-year term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of the stockholders. Each Director nominee has agreed to serve as a Director if re-elected and has consented to being named as a nominee. No person being nominated as a Director is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and the Company.

Philip E. Hughes, Jr. is to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class.

Robert N.C. Nix, III is to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares.

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 Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named as director nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.

Information about the Board and Director Nominees

The role of the Board is to provide general oversight of the Company’s business affairs and to exercise all of the Company’s powers except those reserved for the stockholders. The responsibilities of the Board also include, among other things, the oversight of the Company’s investment activities, the quarterly valuation of the Company’s assets, oversight of the Company’s financing arrangements and corporate governance activities.

A majority of the members of the Board are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Company or the Adviser, and are “independent” as defined by Rule 303A.00 in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. These individuals are referred to as the Company’s “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 the Company. The members of the Board who are not independent directors are referred to as “interested directors”. The Board is currently comprised of seven directors, six of whom are independent directors. The Board has determined that the following directors are independent directors: Keith Bethel, Walter W. Buckley, III, Della Clark, Barbara J. Fouss, Philip E. Hughes, Jr. and Robert N.C. Nix, III. Based upon information requested from each director and director nominee concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, the Board has affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the Company, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board or any Board committee or as a stockholder.

7

In considering each director and the composition of the Board as a whole, the Board seeks a diverse group of experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race that the Board believes enables a director to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Company and its stockholders. These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, which are more fully described below, include, but are not limited to, management experience, independence, financial expertise and experience serving as directors or trustees of other entities. The Board may also consider such other experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills as it deems appropriate, given the then-current needs of the Board and the Company.

These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills relate directly to the management and operations of the Company. Success in each of these categories is a key factor in the Company’s overall operational success and creating stockholder value. The Company believes that directors and director nominees who possess these experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills are better able to provide oversight of the Company’s management and the Company’s long-term and strategic objectives. Below is a description of the experience, characteristics, attributes and skills of each director that led the Board to conclude that each such person should serve as a director. The Board also considered the specific experience described in each director’s biographical information, as disclosed below.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the director nominees and the Company’s other independent directors and interested directors.

Risk Oversight and Board Structure

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Through its direct oversight role, and indirectly through its committees, the Board performs a risk oversight function for the Company 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 Company; (2) reviewing and approving, as applicable, its 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 Company’s investment valuation process via its audit committee that operates pursuant to authority assigned to it by the Board; (5) meeting, or reviewing reports prepared by the representatives of key service providers, including the Company’s investment adviser, administrator, custodian and independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss the Company’s activities and to provide direction with respect thereto; (6) reviewing periodically, and at least annually, the Company’s fidelity bond, directors and officers, and errors and omissions insurance policies and such other insurance policies as may be appropriate; (7) overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes, including supervision of the Company’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 Company’s chief compliance officer to test its compliance procedures and those of its service providers.

The Board also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the Company’s chief compliance officer. The Board receives a quarterly report from the Company’s chief compliance officer, who reports on, among other things, the Company’s compliance with applicable securities laws and its internal compliance policies and procedures. In addition, the Company’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 Company and certain of its service providers. The Company’s chief compliance officer’s report, which is reviewed by the Board, addresses at a minimum: (1) the operation and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company 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 Company’s chief compliance officer’s annual review;

16

and (4) any material compliance matters that have occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board would reasonably need to know to oversee the Company’s compliance activities and risks. The Company’s chief compliance officer also meets separately in executive session with the independent directors of the Company at least once each year. In addition to compliance reports from the Company’s chief compliance officer, the Board also receives reports and updates from legal counsel to the Company regarding legal, regulatory and governance matters.

Board Composition and Leadership Structure

Mr. Forman, who is an “interested person” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, serves as both the chief executive officer of the Company and chairman of the Board. The Board believes that Mr. Forman, as co-founder and chief executive officer of the Company, is the director with the most knowledge of the Company’s business strategy and is best situated to serve as chairman of the Board. The Company’s Charter, as well as the 1940 Act requirement for closed-end funds, requires that a majority of the Board be persons other than “interested persons” of the Company, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.

While the Company currently does not have a policy mandating a lead independent director, the Board believes that having an independent director fill the lead director role is appropriate. Mr. Buckley currently serves as lead independent director. 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 Board has concluded that its structure is appropriate given the current size and complexity of the Company and the extensive regulation to which the Company is subject as a closed-end fund.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board met seven times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including four regular quarterly meetings. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, each director, except for Mr. Forman, attended at least 75% of all meetings of the Board and Board committees on which he or she served (held during the period that such director served). The Company does not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has established two standing committees of the Board, which consist of an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has not established a standing compensation committee because the executive officers of the Company do not receive any direct compensation from the Company. The Board, as a whole, participates in the consideration of director compensation and decisions on director compensation are based on, among other things, a review of data of comparable closed-end funds. The Board may also engage compensation consultants from time-to-time, following consideration of certain factors related to such consultants’ independence.

Audit Committee

The Board has established an Audit Committee that operates pursuant to a charter and consists of three members, including a Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee members are Mr. Hughes (Chairman), Mr. Nix and Ms. Fouss, all of whom are independent. The Board has determined that Mr. Hughes is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the

17

Exchange Act. The primary function of the Audit Committee is (i) to oversee the integrity of the Company’s accounting policies, financial reporting process and system of internal controls regarding finance and accounting policies, and (ii) to establish guidelines and make recommendations to the Board on matters relating to the valuation of the Company’s investments. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, engaging and discharging the Company’s independent accountants, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with the Company’s independent accountants, approving professional services provided by the Company’s independent accountants (including compensation therefor) and reviewing the independence of the Company’s independent accountants. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee charter can be accessed via the Company’s website at https://fsinvestments.com/investments/fsco-corporate-governance/.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Board has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that operates pursuant to a charter and currently consists of three members, including a Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members are Mr. Bethel, Ms. Clark and Mr. Nix, all of whom are independent. The primary function of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to consider and make recommendations to the Board regarding certain governance matters, including selection of directors for election by stockholders, selection of director nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee thereof, development and revision, as appropriate, of applicable corporate governance documentation and practices and oversight of the evaluation of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

When nominating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate in accordance with its charter. Among the qualifications considered in the selection of candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the following attributes and criteria of candidates: experience, including experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, skills, expertise, diversity, including diversity of gender, race and national origin, personal and professional integrity, time availability in light of other commitments, conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of the Board or committees of the Board to fulfill their duties and/or to satisfy any independence or other applicable requirements imposed by law, rule, regulation or listing standard including, but not limited to, the 1940 Act and rules promulgated by the SEC. Each of the director nominees was approved by the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the entire Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as the Company’s management and stockholders. A Company stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the Board must provide notice to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Company’s bylaws, which are described in greater detail under the heading “Submission of Stockholder Proposals.” Nominees for director who are recommended by stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner as any other nominee for director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter can be accessed via the Company’s website at https://fsinvestments.com/investments/fsco-corporate-governance/.

Communications Between Interested Parties and the Board

The Board welcomes communications from interested parties. Interested parties may send communications to the Board or to any particular director to the following address: c/o FS Credit Opportunities Corp., 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112. Interested parties should indicate clearly the director or directors to whom the communication is being sent so that each communication may be forwarded directly to the appropriate director(s).

Information about Executive Officers Who Are Not Directors

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the executive officers of the Company who are not directors of the Company. Each executive officer holds his office until his successor is chosen and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal.

19

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (as amended and restated, the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”) pursuant to Rule 17j-1 promulgated under the 1940 Act, which applies to, among others, its officers, including its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, as well as the members of the Board. The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be accessed via the Company’s website at https://fsinvestments.com/investments/fsco-corporate-governance/. In addition, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site at www.sec.gov. The Company intends to disclose any amendments to or waivers of required provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Practice and Policies Regarding Personal Trading and Hedging of Company Equity

The Company has also established a policy designed to prohibit our officers, directors, and certain employees of the Adviser from purchasing or selling shares of the Company while in possession of material nonpublic information, or otherwise using such information for their personal benefit or in any manner that would violate applicable laws and regulations. The policy also prohibits all directors and officers from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s securities without prior approval of the Company’s chief compliance officer.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from the Company. The Company does not currently have any employees and does not expect to have any employees. As an externally managed closed-end fund, services necessary for the Company’s business are provided by individuals who are employees of the Adviser or its affiliates or by individuals who are contracted by the Adviser, the Company or their respective affiliates to work on behalf of the Company pursuant to the terms of that certain amended and restated investment advisory agreement, effective as of November 14, 2022, between the Company and the Adviser (the “A&R Investment Advisory Agreement”) and that certain administration agreement, dated as of July 15, 2013 (the “Administration Agreement”), between the Company and the Adviser. Each of the Company’s executive officers is an employee of the Adviser or its affiliates and the day-to-day investment operations and administration of the Company’s portfolio are managed by the Adviser. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for its allocable portion of expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its obligations under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

The A&R Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement provide that the Adviser (and its officers, managers, partners, members (and their members, including the owners of their members), agents,

20

employees, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with, or acting on behalf of, the Adviser) shall be entitled to indemnification (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) for any liability or loss suffered by the Adviser, and the Adviser shall be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, arising out of the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement or the Administration Agreement, respectively, or otherwise as the Company’s investment adviser or administrator, respectively; provided, however, that the Adviser cannot be indemnified for any liability arising out of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement or the Administration Agreement, as applicable.

Director Compensation

The Company does not pay compensation to its directors who also serve in an executive officer capacity for the Company or the Adviser. The Company’s directors who do not also serve in an executive officer capacity for the Company or the Adviser are entitled to receive annual cash retainer fees, fees for participating in quarterly Board and Board committee meetings and certain other Board and Board committee meetings, and annual fees for serving as a committee chairperson. These directors are Mr. Bethel, Mr. Buckley, Ms. Clark, Ms. Fouss, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Nix. Mr. Buckley also receives an annual retainer for his service as lead independent director.

Prior to November 14, 2022, pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser was entitled to (a) an annual management fee of 1.50% of the Company’s average daily gross assets (gross assets equaled total assets set forth on the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities) and (b) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance.

On November 14, 2022, the Company and the Adviser amended and restated the Investment Advisory Agreement, or the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement, effective as of November 14, 2022, the Adviser is entitled to (a) an annual management fee of 1.35% of the Company’s average daily gross assets (gross assets equals total assets set forth on the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities) and (b) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. Management fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.

Under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter, and is subject to a preferred return rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Company’s net assets, equal to 1.50% per quarter (or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.00%), subject to a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses reimbursed to the Adviser under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, 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 with paid-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund 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 incentive fee for each quarter under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement is as follows:

Under the Administration Agreement, the Company reimburses the Adviser for its actual costs incurred in providing administrative services to the Company, including the Adviser’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of the Adviser. Such services include general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor and government relations and other administrative services. The Adviser also performs, or oversees the

22

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 to the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, the Adviser assists the Company in calculating NAV, 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. The Adviser is required to allocate the cost of these services to the Company based on factors such as assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, the Board 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 Adviser. The Board then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Company based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board compares the total amount paid to the Adviser for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable investment companies. The Company will not reimburse the Adviser for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for any administrative expenses allocated to a controlling person of the Adviser.

The following table describes the fees and expenses incurred under the Investment Advisory Agreement, A&R Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The Adviser’s senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management teams of the investment advisers to the other fund in the Fund Complex. The registered investment companies in the Fund Complex currently consist of the Company and FS Specialty Lending Fund (f/k/a FS Energy and Power Fund). As a result, such personnel provide or expect to provide investment advisory services to certain other funds in the Fund Complex and such personnel may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles in the Fund Complex. While the investment personnel of the Adviser are not currently providing investment advisory services for clients other than for the Fund Complex, they may do so in the future. In the event that the Adviser provides investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Company’s investment objectives and strategies, so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the Adviser or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of the Adviser retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to other entities in the Fund Complex, rather than to the Company.

23

Exemptive Relief

The Company has been granted exemptive relief by the SEC that permits the Company to participate in certain negotiated co-investments alongside other funds managed by the Adviser or certain of its affiliates, subject to certain conditions, including (i) that a majority of the Board who have no financial interest in the co-investment transaction and a majority of the Board who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, approve the co-investment and (ii) that the price, terms and conditions of the co-investment will be identical for each fund participating pursuant to the exemptive relief.

Bridge Street CLO I Ltd., Bridge Street CLO II Ltd. and Bridge Street CLO III Ltd. (each a “CLO Issuer”) (in thousands)

The collateral manager and administrator of each CLO Issuer, FS Structured Products Advisor, LLC (“FSSPA”), is an affiliate of the Adviser. In accordance with an agreement between FSSPA and the Company, as long as the Company owns more than 4.99% of each CLO Issuer’s equity, FSSPA will reimburse the Company on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to the compensation received by FSSPA from each CLO Issuer for its collateral management and collateral administrator services less certain administrative costs borne by FSSPA during the relevant quarter as defined in the agreement.

On such date, financing through the issuance of debt and equity securities was used to repay the warehouse financing facility.

On such date, Bridge Street CLO III, following a merger with Bridge Street Warehouse CLO III, used proceeds from its note issuance to repay the warehouse financing facility.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) is the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Ernst & Young was previously recommended by the Audit Committee. The Company knows of no direct financial or material indirect financial interest of Ernst & Young in the Company. A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be available to answer questions during the Annual Meeting and will have an

24

opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do. The Company engaged Ernst & Young to act as its independent registered public accounting firm for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2023.

Fees

Set forth below are audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees billed to the Company by Ernst & Young for professional services performed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee reviews, negotiates and approves in advance the scope of work, any related engagement letter and the fees to be charged by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for audit services and permitted non-audit services for the Company and for permitted non-audit services for the Advisor and any affiliates thereof that provide services to the Company if such non-audit services have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Company. Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have not received general pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-approval in accordance with its 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 Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to management. All of the audit and permitted non-audit services described above for which Ernst & Young billed the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee Report

As part of its oversight of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with both management and Ernst & Young, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC for

25

the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), the SEC and the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax, and other services to be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the policy, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence.

Any requests for audit, audit-related tax and other services that have not received general pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-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 Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by Ernst & Young to management.

The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Ernst & Young’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Ernst & Young its independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed the audit fees paid by the Company to Ernst & Young. It has also reviewed non-audit services and fees to assure compliance with the Company’s and the Audit Committee’s policies restricting Ernst & Young from performing services that might impair its independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 be included in the Company’s annual report on Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also recommended the appointment of Ernst & Young to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

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. Philip E. Hughes, Jr. is to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Robert N.C.
