On October 13, 2016, FS Energy and Power Fund (the “Company”) further amended and restated its amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP” and, as further amended and restated, the “Amended DRP”). The Amended DRP will be effective as of, and will first apply to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after, November 30, 2016.

Under the DRP, cash distributions to participating shareholders are reinvested in additional common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Shares”) at a purchase price equal to 90% of the public offering price per Share in effect as of the date of issuance.

Under the Amended DRP, cash distributions to participating shareholders will be reinvested in additional Shares at a purchase price determined by the board of trustees of the Company (the “Board”) or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per Share determined in good faith by the Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution (the “NAV Per Share”) and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share as of such date. No other material terms of the DRP have been amended in connection with the Amended DRP.

The foregoing summary of the Amended DRP is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended DRP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Updated Timing of Anticipated Closing of Public Offering

Subject to market conditions and the pace of capital raising, FSEP now anticipates closing its public offering to new investors in November 2016.

Amendment to Share Repurchase Program

On October 13, 2016, the Company amended the terms of its share repurchase program. The amendments to the share repurchase program will be effective as of the commencement of the Company’s quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2016, which the Company expects will commence in late November 2016.

Under the existing share repurchase program, the Company offers to repurchase Shares on a quarterly basis at a repurchase price equal to 90% of the Share price in effect on each date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company will offer to repurchase Shares at a repurchase price equal to the price at which Shares are issued pursuant to the Amended DRP on the distribution date coinciding with such Share repurchase date.

A detailed description of the share repurchase program can be found in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 9, 2016, and its other public filings with the SEC.
