Certain Information About Distributions
The determination of the tax attributes of FSK's distributions
is made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based upon its
taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full
year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the
distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative
of the actual tax attributes for a full year. FSK intends to update
stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its
distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The
actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be
reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.
The timing and amount of any future distributions on FSK's
shares of common stock are subject to applicable legal restrictions
and the sole discretion of its board of directors. There can be no
assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future
distributions.
FSK may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any
sources of funds legally available to it, including net investment
income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of
assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets,
dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred
and common equity investments in portfolio companies, proceeds from
the sale of shares of FSK's common stock and borrowings. FSK has
not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from
available sources to make distributions. There can be no assurance
that FSK will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at
all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that have
not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States
(GAAP). FSK uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in
analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these
non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional
tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSK's
financial results with other BDCs.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial
measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSK's
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press
release, and investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation.

Per share data was
derived by using the weighted average shares of FSK's common
stock outstanding during the applicable period. Per share numbers
may not sum due to rounding.

2)

Adjusted net investment
income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment
income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income
excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for
realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes (iii) the impact
of accretion resulting from merger accounting; and (iv) certain
non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and
are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred
during FSK's normal course of business. FSK uses this non-GAAP
financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and
believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful
to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and
trends and in comparing its financial results with other business
development companies. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is
a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net realized and unrealized
gain is presented for all periods as GAAP realized and unrealized
gains to exclude the impact of the merger accounting. The
presentation of this additional information is not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results
prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net
investment income to adjusted net investment income and GAAP net
realized and unrealized gain to adjusted net realized and
unrealized gain can be found above.
