Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

        FS Energy and Power Fund, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced investment operations on July 18, 2011 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, from sales of its common shares of beneficial interest, or common shares, in its continuous public offering to persons who were not affiliated with the Company or the Company's investment adviser, FS Investment Advisor, LLC, or FS Advisor, a private investment firm that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act, and an affiliate of the Company.

        The Company 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. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that 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 September 30, 2016, the Company had eight wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, seven wholly-owned subsidiaries through which it holds interests in certain portfolio companies and one wholly-owned subsidiary through which it expects to hold interests in certain portfolio companies. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company's accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016. 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 objective is to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in privately-held U.S. companies in the energy and power industry. The Company's investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in securities of energy and power related, or Energy, companies. The Company considers Energy companies to be those companies that engage in the exploration, development, production, gathering, transportation, processing, storage, refining, distribution, mining, generation or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products, coal or power, including those companies that provide equipment or services to companies engaged in any of the foregoing.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation 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, 2015 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The December 31, 2015 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, 2015. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Company

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

        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. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

        Capital Gains Incentive Fee:    The Company entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor, dated as of April 28, 2011, which was amended on August 10, 2012, and which, as amended, is referred to herein as the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. 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 such agreement). Such fee equals 20.0% of the Company's incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company'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, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

        While the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid, or AICPA, for investment companies, 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 FS Advisor as if the Company's entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FS 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, 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 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor does 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 1.625%. For purposes of this fee, "adjusted capital" means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company's common shares (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions from non-liquidating dispositions of the Company's investments paid to shareholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program. Once the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor is 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 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FS Advisor is entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Offering Costs:    The Company's offering costs primarily include, among other things, marketing expenses and printing, legal and due diligence fees and other costs pertaining to the Company's continuous public offering of its common shares. Historically, the Company 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 determined to change its accounting treatment of offering costs and defer and amortize such costs as an 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.

        Reclassifications:    Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

        In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest, or ASU 2015-03, to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under pre-existing guidance, debt issuance costs were recognized as a deferred charge and presented as an asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability for indebtedness be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest, or ASU 2015-15, to update the guidance to include SEC staff views regarding the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC indicated that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement.

        Commencing January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 and changed its method of disclosing debt issuance costs incurred in connection with its repurchase agreement entered into in connection with its financing arrangement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or Goldman, and its multiple draw term loan agreement entered into in connection with its financing arrangement with Fortress Credit Co LLC, or Fortress. ASU 2015-03 affects the presentation and disclosure of such costs in the Company's financial statements. There is no change to the Company's recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. In accordance with ASU 2015-15, the Company elected to continue to present debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as an asset, which is unchanged from its prior method of disclosure.

        Comparative financial statements of prior interim and annual periods have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively. The adoption and retrospective adjustment of ASU 2015-03 had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported.

Status of Continuous Public Offering

        Since commencing its continuous public offering and through October 25, 2016, the Company sold 444,115,900 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for gross proceeds of $4,319,069, including common shares issued under its distribution reinvestment plan. As of October 25, 2016, the Company had raised total gross proceeds of $4,339,273, including $200 of seed capital contributed by the principals of FS Advisor in December 2010 and $20,004 in proceeds raised from the principals of FS Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor, certain members of the Company's board of trustees and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP, or GSO, the Company's investment sub-adviser, in a private placement conducted in April 2011 (see Note 4).

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company sold 65,945,030 and 60,310,131 common shares for gross proceeds of $476,714 and $562,353, respectively, at an average price per share of $7.23 and $9.32, respectively. The gross proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include reinvested shareholder distributions of $132,928 and $111,606, respectively, for which the Company issued 19,503,968 and 13,030,574 common shares, respectively. During the period from October 1, 2016 to October 25, 2016, the Company sold 1,968,410 common shares for gross proceeds of $16,037 at an average price per share of $8.15.

        The proceeds from the issuance of common shares as presented on the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of changes in net assets and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $30,047 and $39,760 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        Based on and subject to market conditions and the pace of capital raising, the Company expects to close its public offering to new investors in mid to late November 2016.

Share Repurchase Program

        The Company intends to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company's board of trustees will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase common shares 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);

22

Note 3. Share Transactions (Continued)

    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 common shares or portions thereof; and

    the condition of the securities markets.

        The Company currently intends to limit the number of common shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of common shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of common shares under its 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 liquidation of securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase common shares. In addition, the Company will limit the number of common shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of common shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above.

        On October 13, 2016, the Company amended the terms of its share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which will first be effective for the Company's quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2016. Prior to the amendment of the share repurchase program, the Company offered to repurchase common shares at a price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on the date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, the Company intends to offer to repurchase common shares at a price equal to the price at which common shares are issued pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which common shares are issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan is determined by the Company's board of trustees or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per common share as determined in good faith by the Company's board of trustees 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 common share as of such date. The Company's board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days' notice.

Note 3. Share Transactions (Continued)

        On October 5, 2016, the Company repurchased 2,983,921 common shares (representing 100% of common shares tendered for repurchase and 0.69% of the shares outstanding as of such date) at $7.425 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $22,156.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser and Dealer Manager

        Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of the Company's gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company's performance. The Company commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on July 18, 2011, upon commencement of the Company's investment operations. Base management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

        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, 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 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor does 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 1.625%. For purposes of this fee, "adjusted capital" means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company's common shares (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions from non-liquidating dispositions of the Company's investments paid to shareholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program. Once the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor is 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 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. This "catch-up" feature allows FS Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, FS Advisor is entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company's incentive fee capital gains, which equal the Company'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. The Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Company accrues the capital gains incentive fee based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the fee payable to FS 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.

        Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement between FS Advisor and GSO, or the sub-advisory agreement, GSO will receive 50% of all management and incentive fees payable to FS Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with respect to each year.

        The Company reimburses FS Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company's administration and operations, including FS Advisor's allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or FS Investments, the Company's sponsor and an affiliate of FS Advisor, providing administrative services to the Company on

behalf of FS Advisor. The amount of the reimbursement payable to FS Advisor is the lesser of (1) FS 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. FS Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company's board of trustees reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and the proposed allocation of the administrative expenses among the Company and certain affiliates of FS Advisor. The Company's board of trustees 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 providers known to be available. In addition, the Company's board of trustees 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 trustees, among other things, compares the total amount paid to FS Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company's net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The Company will not reimburse FS Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of FS Advisor.

        Under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, the Company, either directly or through reimbursement to FS Advisor or its affiliates, is 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 include 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 FS Advisor's personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the Company's common shares, which includes 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 paid certain of its organization and offering costs directly and reimbursed FS Advisor for offering costs incurred by FS Advisor on the Company's behalf, including marketing expenses, salaries and other direct expenses of FS Advisor's personnel and employees of its affiliates while engaged in registering and marketing the Company's common shares. Organization and offering costs funded directly by FS Investments were recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. These offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value on the consolidated financial statements and 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 FS Advisor for ongoing offering costs and any reimbursements paid to FS Investments for organization and offering costs previously funded, are recorded as a reduction of capital. Commencing January 1, 2016, offering costs incurred by the Company are deferred and amortized as an expense over twelve months (see Note 2).

        The dealer manager for the Company's continuous public offering is FS Investment Solutions, LLC (formerly FS2 Capital Partners, LLC), or FS Investment Solutions, which is one of the Company's affiliates. Under the dealer manager agreement among the Company, FS Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, or the dealer manager agreement, FS Investment Solutions is entitled to receive sales commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of common shares in the Company's continuous public offering, all or a portion of which may be re-allowed to selected broker-dealers and financial representatives.

Capital Contribution by FS Advisor and GSO

        In December 2010, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FS Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase 22,444 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share, which represents the initial public offering price (as adjusted for share distributions), net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains the Company's investment adviser.

        In April 2011, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities controlled by each of them, 224,444 additional common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) at $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). The principals have agreed not to tender these common shares for repurchase as long as FS Advisor remains the Company's investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of the Company's board of trustees and other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor agreed to purchase 1,459,320 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), and certain individuals and

entities affiliated with GSO agreed to purchase 561,111 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions), in each case at a price of $8.91 per share (as adjusted for share distributions). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,244,875 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate proceeds of $20,004, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on July 18, 2011. As of October 25, 2016, the Company has issued an aggregate of 5,754,140 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for aggregate gross proceeds of $48,311 to members of its board of trustees and individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor and GSO, including common shares sold to Messrs. Forman and Adelman in December 2010 and common shares sold in the private placement conducted in April 2011.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

        FS Advisor's senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management teams of FB Income Advisor, LLC, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, FSIC III Advisor, LLC, FSIC IV Advisor, LLC and FS Global Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to FS Investments' other affiliated BDCs and affiliated closed-end management investment company. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to the Company and each of FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund. While none of FS Advisor, FB Income Advisor, LLC, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, FSIC III Advisor, LLC, FSIC IV Advisor, LLC or FS Global Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than the Company, FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV or FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund, respectively, any, or all, may do so in the future. In the event that FS Advisor undertakes to provide 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 strategy, if necessary, so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FS Advisor or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of FS Advisor retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and/or FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund rather than to the Company.

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. In an order dated June 4, 2013, 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 FS Advisor, including FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV, and any future BDCs that are advised by FS Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers, or collectively the Company's co-investment affiliates. The Company believes this relief has and may continue to enhance its ability to further its investment objectives and strategy. The Company believes this relief may also increase favorable investment opportunities for the Company, in part, by allowing it to participate in larger investments, together with the Company's co-investment affiliates, than would be available to it if such relief had not been obtained. Because the Company did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with its investment sub-adviser, GSO, and its affiliates, it will continue to be permitted to co-invest with GSO and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance (e.g., where price is the only negotiated term).

Expense Reimbursement

        Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, amended and restated as of May 16, 2013, or, the expense reimbursement agreement, FS Investments has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders will be paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments the Company may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to the Company that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that the Company may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund its distributions to shareholders. Under those circumstances, FS Investments will not reimburse the Company for the portion of such distributions to shareholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to shareholders.

        Under the expense reimbursement agreement, FS Investments will reimburse the Company quarterly for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company's cumulative distributions paid to its shareholders in each quarter, less the sum of the Company's net investment company taxable income, net capital gains 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 are not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in each quarter.

        Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse FS Investments for any amounts funded by FS Investments under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which FS Investments funded such amount, the sum of the Company's net investment company taxable income, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to its shareholders; provided, however, that (i) the Company will only reimburse FS Investments for expense support payments made by FS Investments with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause "other operating expenses" (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support payments received by the Company during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of the Company's average net assets attributable to its common shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of the Company's average net assets attributable to its common shares represented by "other operating expenses" during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from FS Investments was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from FS Investments made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) the Company will not reimburse FS Investments for expense support payments made by FS Investments if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by the Company in the calendar quarter in which FS Investments made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. The Company is not obligated to pay interest on the payments it receives from FS Investments. "Other operating expenses" means the Company's total "operating expenses" (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage

commissions and extraordinary expenses. "Operating expenses" means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

        The Company or FS Investments may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by FS Investments, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by FS Investments, FS Investments will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, the Company's conditional obligation to reimburse FS Investments pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

        FS Investments is controlled by the Company's chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and the Company's vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that FS Investments will reimburse any portion of the Company's expenses in future quarters.

        As of September 30, 2016, the Company had no reimbursements due from FS Investments and no further amounts remained subject to repayment by the Company to FS Investments in the future.

FS Benefit Trust

        On May 30, 2013, FS Benefit 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, FS Benefit Trust purchased $142 and $104, respectively, of the Company's common shares at a purchase price equal to 90% of the public offering price in effect on the applicable purchase date.

        The Company has adopted an "opt in" distribution reinvestment plan for its shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically "opt in" to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional common shares. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a shareholder's ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.

        In connection with the anticipated closing of the Company's public offering, the Company further amended and restated its distribution reinvestment plan, or the amended distribution reinvestment plan, which will first apply to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 30,

Note 5. Distributions (Continued)

2016. Prior to the amendment to the distribution reinvestment plan, the Company authorized and declared ordinary cash distributions on a weekly basis and paid such distributions on a monthly basis. On October 3, 2016 and October 26, 2016 the Company's board of trustees declared regular weekly cash distributions for October 2016 and November 2016, respectively. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to shareholders of record as of weekly record dates previously determined by the Company's board of trustees in the amount of $0.013625 per share. Following the closing of the Company's public offering, the Company intends to declare regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. 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 may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, 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 the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from FS Investments. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

        For a period of time following commencement of the Company's continuous public offering, substantial portions of the Company's distributions were funded through the reimbursement of certain expenses by FS Investments and its affiliates, including through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by FS Advisor, that were subject to repayment by the Company within three years. The purpose of this arrangement was to ensure that no portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders was paid from offering proceeds or borrowings. Any such distributions funded through expense reimbursements or waivers of advisory fees were not based on the Company's investment performance.

        No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not repay any amounts to FS Investments for expenses previously reimbursed or waived. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to achieve the performance necessary to sustain its distributions or that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all. FS Investments and its affiliates have no obligation to waive advisory fees or otherwise reimburse expenses in future periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 81.5% and 89.9%, respectively, of the Company's gross investment income on a tax basis was attributable to cash income earned and 5.0% and 0.1%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash income earned. In addition, 10.6% and 8.2%, respectively, was attributed to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest and 2.9% and 1.8%, respectively, was attributed to accretion of discount during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

        The Company's net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $198,465 and $164,105, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $1,972 and $15,496, respectively, of undistributed ordinary income on a tax basis and distributable income received from a limited partnership interest. During the last twelve months, the Company's distributions exceeded tax-basis net investment income by $7,558. Over the same period, $15,728 of the Company's tax-basis net investment income was generated by fee income, which is generally non-recurring in nature and the full amount of which is recorded as revenue when earned. Excluding fee income from net investment income during the last twelve months, the Company would have had distributions in excess of tax-basis net investment income of $23,286. No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 was funded from offering proceeds or borrowings.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company saw positive developments in its investment portfolio and a subsequent increase in its net asset value. However, certain investments in the portfolio were restructured or experienced defaults due to the recently depressed prices of oil and natural gas, and the Company may experience additional restructurings or defaults in the future. These restructurings and defaults may have an impact on the level of income received by the Company. As a result, the Company is evaluating the current distribution rate payable on its common shares and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain a weekly cash distribution amount of $0.013625 per common share (or the quarterly equivalent thereto following the closing of the Company's public offering). FS Advisor will waive its incentive fees and may waive a portion of its management fee through the fourth quarter of 2016 to ensure that no portion of the Company's distributions to shareholders is paid from offering proceeds or borrowings.

        The difference between the Company's GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income was 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 impact of certain subsidiaries that are consolidated for purposes of computing GAAP-basis net investment income but are not consolidated 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

        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 shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

        As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses recognized for tax years beginning after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term capital losses, as applicable. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains of $338,153 and $200,191, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company's investments and unrealized gain on foreign currency was $142,743 and $44,089, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments and unrealized loss on foreign currency was $470,208 and $876,009, respectively.

        The aggregate cost of the Company's investments for federal income tax purposes totaled $4,079,222 and $3,895,733 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was $(327,465) and $(831,920) as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had deferred tax liabilities of $47,450 and $23,252, respectively, resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company's wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries and deferred tax assets of $80,945 and $33,224, respectively, resulting from net operating and capital losses of the Company's wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, certain wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries anticipated that they would be unable to fully utilize their generated net operating and capital losses, therefore the deferred tax assets were offset by valuation allowances of $33,495 and $9,972, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2015, except for Sunnova Holdings, LLC, in which the Company held one equity/other investment and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sunnova Asset Portfolio 5 Holdings, LLC, in which the Company held one first lien senior secured loan, the Company did not "control" any of its portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act.

        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 a portfolio company, and would be an "affiliated person" of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

        The Company's investment portfolio may contain loans or bonds that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving 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 September 30, 2016, the Company had two senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $13,696 and three equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $8,924. As of September 30, 2016, these unfunded equity/other investments were BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., net profits interest, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., overriding royalty interest and Synergy Offshore LLC. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had four senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $67,365, one senior secured bond investment with an unfunded commitment of $18,470 and five equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $33,890. As of December 31, 2015, these unfunded equity/other investments were Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., net profits interest, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., overriding royalty interest, Sunnova Holdings, LLC and Synergy Offshore LLC. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

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 that valuation techniques 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

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:

Valuation Inputs   September 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2015  

Level 1—Price quotations in active markets

  $ 16,387   $  

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs

         

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs

    3,731,289     3,069,498  

Total

  $ 3,747,676   $ 3,069,498  

        The Company's investments as of September 30, 2016 consisted primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Seventeen senior secured loan investments, two senior secured bond investments and six subordinated debt investments were valued by independent valuation firms, which determined 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, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the debt. Twenty-nine of the Company's equity/other investments were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined 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. One equity/other investment, which was traded on an active public market, was valued at its closing price as of September 30, 2016. Except as described above, the Company valued its other investments, including two of its equity/other investments, 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 an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service.

        The Company's investments as of December 31, 2015 consisted primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Twenty senior secured loan investments, two senior secured bond investments and five subordinated debt investments were valued by independent valuation firms, which determined 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, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the debt. All of the Company's equity/other investments were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined 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 EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. Except as described above, the Company valued 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 were provided by an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service.

        The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing service and/or dealers, 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. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), the Company believes that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may also use other methods, including the use of independent valuation firms, to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers or where the Company's board of trustees otherwise determines that the use of such other method is appropriate. The Company periodically benchmarks the valuations provided by the independent valuation firms against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its investments. The valuation committee of the board of trustees, or the valuation 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.

        The following is a reconciliation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

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.

Bryn Mawr Funding's obligations to Barclays under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Bryn Mawr Funding, including its portfolio of assets and the assets of its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the Company has agreed to guaranty the obligations of Barclays and grant a first priority lien in favor of Barclays, for the benefit of the lenders, on the membership interests in Bryn Mawr Funding.

        The Barclays facility provides for a four year revolving period followed by a one year term-out period, after which time all outstanding advances and other amounts will become due and payable.

Note 8. Financing Arrangements (Continued)

BNP Facility

        On December 11, 2013, Berwyn Funding LLC, or Berwyn Funding, the Company's wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, entered into a committed facility arrangement, or the BNP facility, with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc., or BNP. As amended to date, Berwyn Funding can borrow, from time to time, up to $300,000 from BNP. The BNP facility was effected through a committed facility agreement by and between Berwyn Funding and BNP, or the committed facility agreement, a U.S. PB Agreement by and between Berwyn Funding and BNP and a special custody and pledge agreement by and among Berwyn Funding, BNP and State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, as custodian, each dated as of December 11, 2013, as amended to date, and which are collectively referred to herein as the BNP financing agreements.

        The Company may contribute securities to Berwyn Funding from time to time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the committed facility agreement, and will retain a residual interest in any securities contributed through its ownership of Berwyn Funding or will receive fair market value for any securities sold to Berwyn Funding. Berwyn Funding may purchase additional securities from various sources. Berwyn Funding has appointed the Company to manage its portfolio of securities pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement. Berwyn Funding will pledge certain of its securities as collateral to secure borrowings under the BNP facility. Such pledged securities will be held in a segregated custody account with State Street. The value of securities required to be pledged by Berwyn Funding is determined in accordance with the margin requirements described in the BNP financing agreements. Berwyn Funding's obligations to BNP under the facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Berwyn Funding, including its portfolio of securities. The obligations of Berwyn Funding under the facility are non-recourse to the Company and the Company's exposure under the facility is limited to the value of the Company's investment in Berwyn Funding. On May 4, 2016, Berwyn Funding entered into an amendment to the BNP financing arrangements that permits Berwyn Funding to enter into trades, including but not limited to purchasing options, through the prime brokerage arrangement provided under the BNP financing arrangements.

        Borrowings under the BNP facility accrue interest at a rate equal to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.10% per annum. Berwyn Funding is required to pay a non-usage fee of 0.55% per annum to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the facility is not borrowed. On May 4, 2016, Berwyn Funding entered into an amendment to the BNP facility which will increase the (i) interest rate payable on borrowings to LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum effective on and after January 2, 2017 and (ii) the commitment fee payable on all unused amounts to, effective on and after January 2, 2017, (a) 0.65% per annum on unused amounts so long as 75% or more of the facility amount is utilized or (b) 0.85% per annum on unused amounts if less than 75% of the facility amount is utilized. Berwyn Funding may terminate the committed facility agreement upon 270 days' notice. Subject to certain cancellation rights, and absent a default or facility termination event, BNP is required to provide Berwyn Funding with 270 days' notice prior to terminating or amending the committed facility agreement.

        As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $113,737 was outstanding under the BNP facility. The carrying amount outstanding under the facility approximates its fair value. The Company incurred costs of $449 in connection with obtaining and amending the facility, which the Company recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the 270 day period following the closing date of the BNP facility or the amendment thereto, as applicable. As of September 30, 2016, all of the deferred financing costs had been amortized to interest expense.

Berwyn Funding may recall any rehypothecated security at any time and BNP must return such security or an equivalent security within a commercially reasonable period. In the event BNP does not return the security, Berwyn Funding will have the right to, among other things, apply and set off an amount equal to 100% of the then-current fair market value of such rehypothecated securities against any outstanding borrowings owed to BNP under the facility. Rehypothecated securities are marked-to-market daily and if the value of all rehypothecated securities exceeds 100% of the outstanding borrowings owed by Berwyn Funding under the facility, BNP may either reduce the amount of rehypothecated securities to eliminate such excess or deposit into the segregated custody account an amount of cash equal to such excess. Berwyn Funding will continue to receive interest and the scheduled repayment of principal balances on rehypothecated securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, Berwyn Funding received a fee of $0 and $1, respectively, from BNP for securities that had been rehypothecated pursuant to the BNP financing agreements. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of those securities rehypothecated by BNP was $111,168 and $108,340, respectively.

        Borrowings of Berwyn Funding will be considered borrowings by the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

The Fortress facility, as amended, provides for $155,000 of term loans available to be borrowed during the first two years after the initial closing date of November 6, 2015 with an option for the Company to request, at one or more times during the first two years after the closing date, that existing or new lenders, at their election provide up to $45,000 of additional commitments.

        Interest under the Fortress facility for (i) loans bearing interest by reference to LIBOR accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus 5.00% per annum, and (ii) loans bearing interest by reference to the base rate accrues at 4.00% per annum plus the greater of: (x) the per annum rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at its principal office in San Francisco as its "prime rate," and (y) 1.75% per annum.

Goldman Financing

        On September 11, 2014, through its two wholly-owned, special-purpose financing subsidiaries, Gladwyne Funding LLC, or Gladwyne Funding, and Strafford Funding LLC, or Strafford Funding, the Company entered into a debt financing arrangement with Goldman. The amount available under the financing arrangement, as amended, is $325,000. 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 have been available through alternate arrangements.

        Under the financing arrangement, assets in the Company's portfolio may be sold and/or contributed by it from time to time to Gladwyne Funding, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2014, between the Company and Gladwyne Funding, or the Sale and Contribution Agreement. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of assets held by Gladwyne Funding was $802,936, which includes an initial contribution by the Company of a portfolio of assets with an aggregate par value of $427,061. The assets held by Gladwyne Funding secure the obligations of Gladwyne Funding under certain Floating Rate Notes, or the Notes, to be issued from time to time by Gladwyne Funding to Strafford Funding, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 11, 2014, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 21, 2016, or the Indenture, with Citibank, as trustee. Pursuant to the Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued by Gladwyne Funding from time to time is $577,750. Interest on the Notes under the Indenture accrues 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 November 15, 2025. As of September 30, 2016, Strafford Funding had

46


Table of Contents

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)


Note 8. Financing Arrangements (Continued)

purchased $577,750 of Notes, the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased under the Goldman facility (as defined below).

        Strafford Funding, in turn, entered into a repurchase transaction with Goldman, pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase agreement and the related annex thereto, each dated as of September 11, 2014, as supplemented by the second amended and restated master confirmation dated as of September 21, 2016, or collectively, the Goldman facility. Pursuant to the Goldman facility, on one or more occasions beginning December 15, 2014, Goldman began purchasing Notes held by Strafford Funding for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 56.25% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased. As of September 30, 2016, Goldman had purchased Notes in the principal amount of $577,750 from Strafford Funding, the maximum principal amount of Notes available to be purchased under the Goldman facility, for a total purchase price equal to $325,000.

        Strafford Funding will repurchase the Notes sold to Goldman under the Goldman facility no later than September 15, 2018. The repurchase price paid by Strafford 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. Through March 15, 2015, financing fees accrued on the greater of $225,000 or the aggregate purchase price paid by Goldman for such Notes. Thereafter, financing fees accrue on $325,000 (even in prior periods when the aggregate purchase price paid for Notes purchased by Goldman was 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 September 15, 2018 due to an event of default or the failure of Gladwyne Funding to commit to sell any underlying assets that become defaulted obligations within 30 days and thereafter to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell any such defaulted obligations, then Strafford 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 through September 15, 2018 had the acceleration not occurred. The financing fee under the Goldman facility is equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of up to 3.38% per annum for the relevant period.

        Goldman may require Strafford Funding to post cash collateral if the market value of the Notes (measured by reference to the market value of Gladwyne Funding's portfolio of assets) declines and is less than the required margin amount under the Goldman facility. In such event, in order to satisfy any such margin-posting requirements, Strafford Funding has the option to borrow funds from the Company pursuant to an uncommitted revolving credit agreement, dated as of September 11, 2014, and amended and restated on September 21, 2016, between Strafford Funding, as borrower, and the Company, as lender, or the Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may not exceed $325,000 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

        As of September 30, 2016, Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $577,750 had been purchased by Strafford Funding from Gladwyne Funding and subsequently sold to Goldman under the Goldman facility for aggregate proceeds of $325,000. The carrying amount outstanding under the Goldman facility approximates its fair value. The Company funded each purchase of Notes by Strafford Funding through a capital contribution to Strafford Funding. As of September 30, 2016, Strafford Funding's liability under the Goldman facility was $325,000, plus $543 of accrued interest expense. The Notes issued by Gladwyne Funding and purchased by Strafford Funding eliminate in consolidation on the Company's financial statements.

After that date, the Company was no longer permitted to borrow under the facility and outstanding amounts began to amortize. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid $40,738 of outstanding borrowings under the facility.

        The Company contributed cash and debt securities to Energy Funding from time to time prior to the commencement of the amortization period under the facility, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Natixis credit facility. The Company continues to retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Energy Funding or it received fair market value for any debt securities sold to Energy Funding.

facility, with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as administrative agent, each of the conduit lenders and institutional lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, collectively referred to herein as Wells Fargo, as the collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian under the Wells Fargo credit facility. The Wells Fargo credit facility originally provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $200,000 on a committed basis, subject to Wayne Funding's option to reduce the commitment amount as provided in the Wells Fargo credit facility. Wayne Funding elected to reduce the commitment amount on February 23, 2016 to $125,000.

Any amounts borrowed under the Wells Fargo credit facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on September 9, 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 shares on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of common shares in the Company's continuous public offering and pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common shares at an offering 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 issuance of common shares was an increase in net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(5)
The per share impact of the Company's repurchases of common shares was 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 Company's distribution reinvestment plan. The total return does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of the Company's common shares. The total return includes the effect of the issuance of common 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 calculation of total return in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company's future total return, 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. The total return for the year ended December 31, 2015 was unaudited.

(7)
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 return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of the Company's common shares. The total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) includes the effect of the issuance of common 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 calculation of total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company's future total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions), 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)
Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not annualized. The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015:
 
  Nine Months Ended

Ratio of offering costs to average net assets

    0.05 %    

Ratio of income and excise taxes to average net assets

    0.00 %   0.01 %
(9)
Portfolio turnover for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is not annualized.

(10)
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.

Overview

        We were formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced investment operations on July 18, 2011 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500 from sales of our common shares in our continuous public offering to persons who were not affiliated with us or FS Advisor. We are 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, we had no operations except for matters relating to our organization.

        Our investment activities are managed by FS Advisor and supervised by our board of trustees, a majority of whom are independent. Under our investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we have agreed to pay FS Advisor an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as incentive fees based on our performance. FS Advisor has engaged GSO to act as our investment sub-adviser. GSO assists FS Advisor in identifying investment opportunities and makes investment recommendations for approval by FS Advisor according to guidelines set by FS Advisor.

        Our investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in securities of Energy companies. This investment policy may not be changed without at least 60 days' prior notice to holders of our common shares of any such change.

        Our investment objective is to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation. We have identified and intend to focus on the following investment categories, which we believe will allow us to generate an attractive total return with an acceptable level of risk.

        Direct Originations:    We intend to leverage our relationship with GSO and its global sourcing and origination platform, including its industry relationships, to directly source investment opportunities. Such investments are originated or structured for us or made by us and are not generally available to the broader market. These investments may include both debt and equity components, although we do not expect to make equity investments (other than income-oriented equity investments) independent of having an existing credit relationship. We believe directly originated investments may offer higher returns and more favorable protections than broadly syndicated transactions.

        Opportunistic:    We seek to capitalize on market price inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds and other securities where the market price of such investment reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by our fundamental analysis. We believe that market price inefficiencies may occur due to, among other things, general dislocations in the markets, a misunderstanding by the market of a particular company or an Energy industry sub-sector being out of favor with the broader investment community. We seek to allocate capital to these securities that have been misunderstood or mispriced by the market and where we believe there is an opportunity to earn an attractive return on our investment. Such opportunities may include both event driven investments and anchor orders.

        In the case of event driven investments, we intend to take advantage of dislocations that arise in the markets due to an impending event and where the market's apparent expectation of value differs substantially from our fundamental analysis. Such events may include a looming debt maturity or default, a merger, spin-off or other corporate reorganization, an adverse regulatory or legal ruling, or a material contract expiration, any of which may significantly improve or impair a company's financial position. Compared to other investment strategies, event driven investing depends more heavily on our

55


Table of Contents

ability to successfully predict the outcome of an individual event rather than on underlying macroeconomic fundamentals. As a result, successful event driven strategies may offer both substantial diversification benefits and the ability to generate performance in uncertain market environments.

        We may also invest in certain opportunities that are originated and then syndicated by a commercial or investment bank but where we provide a capital commitment significantly above the average syndicate participant, i.e., an anchor order. In these types of investments, we may receive fees, preferential pricing or other benefits not available to other lenders in return for our significant capital commitment. Our decision to provide an anchor order to a syndicated transaction is predicated on a rigorous credit analysis, our familiarity with a particular company, Energy industry sub-sector or financial sponsor, and the broader investment experiences of FS Advisor and GSO.

        Broadly Syndicated/Other:    Although our primary focus is to invest in directly originated transactions and opportunistic investments, in certain circumstances we will also invest in the broadly syndicated loan and high yield markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our directly originated investments and provide a complement to our less liquid strategies. In addition, and because we typically receive more attractive financing terms on these positions than we do on our less liquid assets, we are able to leverage the broadly syndicated portion of our portfolio in such a way that maximizes the levered return potential of our portfolio.

        Our portfolio is comprised primarily of income-oriented securities, which refers to debt securities and income-oriented preferred and common equity interests, of privately-held Energy companies within the United States. We intend to weight our portfolio towards senior and subordinated debt. In addition to investments purchased from dealers or other investors in the secondary market, we expect to invest in primary market transactions and directly originated investments as this will provide us with the ability to tailor investments to best match a project's or company's needs with our investment objectives. Our portfolio may also be comprised of select income-oriented preferred or common equity interests, which refers to equity interests that pay consistent, high-yielding dividends, that we believe will produce both current income and long-term capital appreciation. These income-oriented preferred or common equity interests may include interests in master limited partnerships. In connection with certain of our debt investments or any restructuring of these debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests, including warrants or options, as additional consideration or otherwise in connection with a restructuring.

Revenues

        The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase or 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 foreign currency, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and net change in unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our 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 change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net change in 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.

        We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. We also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we may hold. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of non-recurring commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized as earned.

Expenses

        Our primary operating expenses include the payment of advisory fees and other expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fee compensates FS Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. FS Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.

        We reimburse FS Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including FS Advisor's allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments providing administrative services to us on behalf of FS Advisor. Such services include the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. FS Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our shareholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FS Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our shareholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. See "—Related Party Transactions" for additional information regarding the reimbursements payable to FS Advisor for administrative services and the methodology for determining the amount of any such reimbursements. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions. For additional information regarding these expenses, please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

        In addition, we have contracted with State Street to provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by FS Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

Expense Reimbursement

        Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, amended and restated as of May 16, 2013, or the expense reimbursement agreement, FS Investments has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. However, because certain investments we may make, including preferred and common equity investments, may generate dividends and other distributions to us that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital, a portion of our distributions to shareholders may also be deemed to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that we may use such dividends or other distribution proceeds to fund our distributions to shareholders. Under those circumstances, FS Investments will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to shareholders that represent a return of capital for tax purposes, as the purpose of the expense reimbursement arrangement is not to prevent tax-advantaged distributions to shareholders.

        Under the expense reimbursement agreement, FS Investments will reimburse us quarterly for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our shareholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment company taxable income, net capital gains and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts are not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in each quarter.

        Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we have a conditional obligation to reimburse FS Investments for any amounts funded by FS Investments under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which FS Investments funded such amount, the sum of our net investment company taxable income, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) exceeds the distributions paid by us to our shareholders; provided, however, that (i) we will only reimburse FS Investments for expense support payments made by FS Investments with respect to any calendar quarter beginning on or after July 1, 2013 to the extent that

57


Table of Contents

the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement paid during such fiscal year) does not cause "other operating expenses" (as defined below) (on an annualized basis and net of any expense support payments received by us during such fiscal year) to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of our average net assets attributable to our common shares for the fiscal year-to-date period after taking such payments into account and (B) the percentage of our average net assets attributable to our common shares represented by "other operating expenses" during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from FS Investments was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any reimbursement payment which relates to an expense support payment from FS Investments made during the same fiscal year) and (ii) we will not reimburse FS Investments for expense support payments made by FS Investments if the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in such calendar quarter is less than the aggregate amount of distributions per share declared by us in the calendar quarter in which FS Investments made the expense support payment to which such reimbursement relates. We are not obligated to pay interest on the payments we receive from FS Investments. "Other operating expenses" means our total "operating expenses" (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, organization and offering expenses, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. "Operating expenses" means all operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with GAAP for investment companies.

        We or FS Investments may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by FS Investments, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Upon termination of the expense reimbursement agreement by FS Investments, FS Investments will be required to fund any amounts accrued thereunder as of the date of termination. Similarly, our conditional obligation to reimburse FS Investments pursuant to the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement shall survive the termination of such agreement by either party.

        FS Investments is controlled by our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, and our vice-chairman, David J. Adelman. There can be no assurance that the expense reimbursement agreement will remain in effect or that FS Investments will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

        As of September 30, 2016, we had no reimbursements due from FS Investments and no further amounts remained subject to repayment by us to FS Investments in the future.

Portfolio Investment Activity for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and for the Year Ended December 31, 2015

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling $988,597. During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of $361,229 and received principal repayments of $374,270. As of September 30, 2016, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $3,747,676 (24% in first lien senior secured loans, 24% in second lien senior secured loans, 10% in senior secured bonds, 26% in subordinated debt and 16% in equity/other), consisted of interests in 86 portfolio companies. The portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $317.0 million. As of September 30, 2016, the debt investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 97.2% of par value, and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage (which represents the expected annualized yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of such date), was 8.6% based upon the amortized cost of our investments.

        Based on our regular weekly cash distribution rate of $0.013625 per share as of September 30, 2016 and our public offering price of $8.25 per share as of such date, the annualized distribution rate to shareholders as of September 30, 2016 was 8.59%. The distribution rate to shareholders may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors' capital.

        During the year ended December 31, 2015, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling $1,195,947. During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of $590,726 and received principal repayments of $209,808. As of December 31, 2015, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $3,069,498 (30% in first lien senior secured loans, 30% in second lien senior secured loans, 11% in senior secured bonds, 19% in subordinated debt and 10% in equity/other), consisted of interests in 90 portfolio companies. The portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio as of such

date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $244.8 million. As of December 31, 2015, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 98.4% of par value and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 9.3% based upon the amortized cost of our investments.

        Based on our regular weekly cash distribution rate of $0.013625 per share as of December 31, 2015 and our public offering price of $7.50 per share as of such date, the annualized distribution rate to shareholders as of December 31, 2015 was 9.45%. The distribution rate to shareholders may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors' capital.

        Our estimated gross portfolio yield and annualized distribution rate to shareholders do not represent actual investment returns to shareholders. Our gross annual portfolio yield and distribution rate to shareholders are subject to change and in the future may be greater or less than the rates set forth above. See the sections entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

as defined in the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2015, except for Sunnova Holdings, LLC, in which we held one equity/other investment and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sunnova Asset Portfolio 5 Holdings, LLC, in which we held one first lien senior secured loan, we did not "control" any of our portfolio companies, as defined in the 1940 Act.

        In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to "control" a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its voting securities or we had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of a portfolio company, and would be an "affiliated person" of a portfolio company if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

        Our investment portfolio may contain loans or bonds that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, or other investments, which may require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of September 30, 2016, we had two senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $13,696 and three equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $8,924. As of September 30, 2016, these unfunded equity/other investments were BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., net profits interest, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., overriding royalty interest and Synergy Offshore LLC. As of December 31, 2015, we had four senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $67,365, one senior secured bond investment with an unfunded commitment of $18,470 and five equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $33,890. As of December 31, 2015, these unfunded equity/other investments were Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., net profits interest, BL Sand Hills Unit, L.P., overriding royalty interest, Sunnova Holdings, LLC and Synergy Offshore LLC. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

Portfolio Asset Quality

        In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, FS Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. FS Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

Investment Rating   Summary Description

1

  Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.

2

 

Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company's business plan—full return of principal and interest expected.

3

 

Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.

4

 

Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.

5

 

Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

        The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

        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 our expectation of performance and changes in investment values. As of September 30, 2016, 37% of our portfolio consisted of investments with an investment rating of three, 1% of our portfolio consisted of investments with an investment rating of four and 4% of our portfolio consisted of investments with an investment rating of five, in each case, based on fair value.

Results of Operations

        After briefly rising above $52 per barrel in June, oil prices remained largely range-bound between $40 per barrel and $50 per barrel through August and September 2016, generally helping energy high yield bonds and energy senior secured loans to build on the momentum sustained through the second quarter. The "spread-to-worst" of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Energy Index, or the Energy Index, which measures the difference from the Energy Index's worst performing security to Treasuries, tightened over the quarter ended September 30, 2016 from 834 basis points as of June 30, 2016 to 643 basis points as of September 30, 2016. Overall, the Energy Index ended the third quarter of 2016 with a yield-to-worst of 7.67% after reaching levels earlier in the year not seen since November 2008.

        West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices, which began the year at $36.76 per barrel, reached an eleven month high on June 8, 2016 and ended at $48.24 per barrel as of September 30, 2016. The average par weighted price of the Energy Index began the year at $64.89, reached a year-to-date low of $52.17 on February 11, 2016 and significantly rebounded to $92.53 as of September 30, 2016. Rising asset prices resulted in unrealized appreciation on investments during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Since September 30, 2016, OPEC's agreement in principle to cut production continued to push oil prices higher, though details of the arrangement were largely left to its next meeting in late November 2016.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenues

        We generated investment income of $89,382 and $98,758 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans (first and second lien), senior secured bonds and subordinated debt investments in our portfolio. Such revenues represent $75,249 and $90,073 of cash income earned as well as $14,133 and $8,685 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount, PIK interest and accrual of limited partnership income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized.

        The level of investment income we receive is directly related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn will increase to the extent the size of our investment portfolio increases and as the proportion of directly originated investments in our portfolio increases.

        During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated $2,624 and $10,777 of fee income, which represented 2.9% and 10.9%, respectively, of total investment income. Such fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of amendment and consent fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, future 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 fee income during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the prepayment of several large investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Expenses

        Our total expenses were $33,651 and $40,122 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our expenses include base management fees attributed to FS Advisor of $20,086 and

63


Table of Contents

$19,522 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FS Advisor of $1,118 and $892 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        FS Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on our performance. We did not accrue any subordinated incentive fee on income during the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we accrued a subordinated incentive fee on income of $9,611. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not accrue any capital gains incentive fees. See "—Critical Accounting Policies—Capital Gains Incentive Fee" and "—Critical Accounting Policies—Subordinated Income Incentive Fee" for additional information about how the incentive fees are calculated.

        We recorded interest expense of $8,921 and $7,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in connection with our financing arrangements. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, fees and expenses incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $384 and $361, respectively, and fees and expenses incurred with our share transfer agent totaled $750 and $767, respectively. Fees for our board of trustees were $245 and $246 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization of our deferred offering costs was $755 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $1,370 and $1,020 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and consisted of the following:

        During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the ratio of our total expenses to our average net assets was 1.10% and 1.42%, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our ratio of total expenses to average net assets included $8,921 and $7,627, respectively, related to interest expense, $0 and $9,611, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees, $755 and $0, respectively, related to amortization of deferred offering costs and $22 and $76, respectively, related to accruals for income taxes. Without such expenses, our ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 0.78% and 0.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

Net Investment Income

        Our net investment income totaled $55,731 ($0.13 per share) and $58,636 ($0.17 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed primarily to a decrease in fee income, a decrease in investment income resulting from the restructuring of certain investments in the portfolio, an increase in the percentage of non-income producing equity securities held in the portfolio and an increase in the percentage of income producing assets on non-accrual held in the portfolio.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

        We sold investments and received principal repayments of $10,159 and $250,161, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, from which we realized a net loss of $119,886. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $155,343 and $87,424, respectively, during the

64


Table of Contents

three months ended September 30, 2015, from which we realized a net loss of $100,813. We realized a net loss of $63 from settlements on foreign currency during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency

        For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $210,483 and $(239,783), respectively, and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency was $(2) and $59, respectively. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily driven by a general improvement in the energy markets, a tightening of credit spreads and the performance of our anchor order and broadly syndicated investments. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily driven by increased volatility and a general widening of credit spreads in the Energy high yield and leveraged loan markets and by the performance of our directly originated and opportunistic investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

        For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $146,326 ($0.35 per share) and $(281,964) ($(0.81) per share), respectively.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenues

        We generated investment income of $275,618 and $276,755 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans (first and second lien), senior secured bonds and subordinated debt investments in our portfolio. Such revenues represent $242,463 and $252,509 of cash income earned as well as $33,155 and $24,246 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount, PIK interest and accrual of limited partnership income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized.

        The level of investment income we receive is directly related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We expect the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn will increase to the extent the size of our investment portfolio increases and as the proportion of directly originated investments in our portfolio increases.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated $12,607 and $24,422 of fee income, which represented 4.6% and 8.8%, respectively, of total investment income. Such fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of amendment and consent fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, future 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 fee income during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the prepayment of several large investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Expenses

        Our total expenses were $100,471 and $109,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our expenses include base management fees attributed to FS Advisor of $55,725 and $57,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our expenses also include administrative services expenses attributed to FS Advisor of $2,885 and $3,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        FS Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on our performance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we accrued a subordinated incentive fee on income of $5,774 and

65


Table of Contents

$18,968, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not accrue any capital gains incentive fees. See "—Critical Accounting Policies—Capital Gains Incentive Fee" and "—Critical Accounting Policies—Subordinated Income Incentive Fee" for additional information about how the incentive fees are calculated.

        We recorded interest expense of $27,200 and $22,351 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in connection with our financing arrangements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, fees and expenses incurred with our fund administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $994 and $1,082, respectively, and fees and expenses incurred with our share transfer agent totaled $2,134 and $2,199, respectively. Fees for our board of trustees were $757 and $736 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization of our deferred offering costs was $1,378 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $3,523 and $3,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and consisted of the following:

On April 1, 2015, James F. Volk was appointed as our chief compliance officer. Prior to that date, we had contracted with Vigilant Compliance, LLC to provide the services of Salvatore Faia as our chief compliance officer. Mr. Volk is employed by FS Investments and will not receive any direct compensation from us in this capacity.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the ratio of our total expenses to our average net assets was 3.74% and 3.96%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our ratio of total expenses to average net assets included $27,200 and $22,351, respectively, related to interest expense, $5,774 and $18,968, respectively, related to accruals for incentive fees, $1,378 and $0, respectively, related to amortization of deferred offering costs and $101 and $234, respectively, related to accruals for income taxes. Without such expenses, our ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 2.46% and 2.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

Net Investment Income

        Our net investment income totaled $175,147 ($0.44 per share) and $167,025 ($0.51 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis can be attributed primarily to a decrease in fee income, a decrease in investment income resulting from the restructuring of certain investments in the portfolio, an increase in the percentage of non-income producing equity securities held in the portfolio and an increase in the percentage of income producing assets on non-accrual held in the portfolio.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

        We sold investments and received principal repayments of $361,229 and $374,270, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from which we realized a net loss of $195,964. We sold investments and received principal repayments of $442,341 and $180,506, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from which we realized a net loss of $159,323. We realized a

net loss of $210 from settlements on foreign currency during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $585,216 and $(171,393), respectively, and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency was $12 and $(82), respectively. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily driven by a general improvement in the energy markets, a tightening of credit spreads and the performance of our directly originated and anchor order investments. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily driven by a general widening of credit spreads in Energy markets and by the performance of our directly originated and opportunistic investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $564,411 ($1.41 per share) and $(163,983) ($(0.50) per share), respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Based on and subject to market conditions and the pace of capital raising, we expect to close our public offering to new investors in mid to late November 2016. Improving energy market conditions since the middle of February 2016 through September 30, 2016, have led to positive developments in the portfolio and a subsequent increase in our net asset value per common share. However, certain investments in the portfolio were restructured or experienced defaults due to the recently depressed prices of oil and natural gas, and we may experience additional restructurings or defaults in the future. These restructurings and defaults may have an impact on the level of income received by us. As a result, we are evaluating the current distribution rate payable on our common shares and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain a weekly cash distribution amount of $0.013625 per common share (or the quarterly equivalent thereto following the closing of our public offering). FS Advisor will waive its incentive fees and may waive a portion of its management fee through the fourth quarter of 2016 to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders is paid from offering proceeds or borrowings.

Overview

        As of September 30, 2016, we had $271,317 in cash, which we or our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $506,563 in borrowings available under our financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. To seek to enhance our returns, we employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of FS Advisor, but in no event may leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See "—Financing Arrangements." As of September 30, 2016, we also had broadly syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2016, we had two senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $13,696 and three equity/other investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $8,924. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold 65,945,030 common shares for gross proceeds of $476,714 at an average price per share of $7.23. The gross proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include reinvested shareholder distributions of $132,928, for which we issued 19,503,968 common shares. The sales commissions and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common shares were $30,047 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These sales commissions and fees include $5,822 retained by the dealer manager, FS Investment Solutions, which is one of our affiliates.

        Since commencing our continuous public offering and through October 25, 2016, we sold 444,115,900 common shares (as adjusted for share distributions) for gross proceeds of $4,319,069, including common shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan. As of October 25, 2016, we have raised total gross proceeds of $4,339,273, including $200 of seed capital contributed by the principals of FS Advisor in December 2010 and $20,004 in proceeds raised from the principals of FS Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FS Advisor, certain members of our board of trustees and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO in a private placement conducted in April 2011.

        We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our continuous public offering and from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We are engaged in a continuous public offering of our common shares. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue common shares at weekly closings. Shares are issued at prices that, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, must be above our net asset value per share.

        Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from our continuous public offering and from sales and paydowns of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

        To provide our shareholders with limited liquidity, we conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. The first such tender offer commenced in August 2012, and the repurchase occurred in connection with our October 1, 2012 semi-monthly closing.

        On October 13, 2016, we amended the terms of our share repurchase program, or the amended share repurchase program, which will first be effective for our quarterly repurchase offer for the fourth quarter of 2016. Prior to the amendment of the share repurchase program, we offered to repurchase common shares at a price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on the date of repurchase. Under the amended share repurchase program, we intend to offer to repurchase common shares at a price equal to the price at which common shares are issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which common shares are issued under our distribution reinvestment plan is determined by our board of trustees or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per common share as determined in good faith by our board of trustees 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 common share as of such date.

RIC Tax Treatment and Distributions

        We have 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. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each tax year, dividends generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of our "investment company taxable income," which is generally the sum of our 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 dividends paid. In addition, we may, in certain cases, satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement by distributing dividends relating to a tax year after the close of such tax year under the "spillover dividend" provisions of Subchapter M of the Code. If we distribute a spillover dividend, such dividend will be included in a shareholder's gross income for the tax year in which the spillover distribution is paid. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our shareholders to maintain our RIC tax treatment each tax year. We will also be subject to nondeductible U.S. federal excise taxes on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary taxable income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains over capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses), for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by us during October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to our shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the

69


Table of Contents

following calendar year, will be treated as if it had been paid by us, as well as received by our U.S. shareholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared. We generally will endeavor in each tax year to avoid any material U.S. federal excise tax on our earnings.

        We authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a weekly basis, while continuing to pay such distributions on a monthly basis, in each case subject to our board of trustees' discretion and applicable legal restrictions. Following the closing of our public offering, we 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 we accept such shareholder's subscription for our common shares. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or common shares at the discretion of our board of trustees.

        During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings, especially during the period before we have substantially invested the proceeds from our continuous public offering of common shares. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make will represent a return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of an investor's investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities and will be made after deducting the fees and expenses payable in connection with our continuous public offering, including any fees payable to FS Advisor. Moreover, a return of capital will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in our common shares, and will result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when the common shares on which such return of capital was received are sold. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our shareholders.

        The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and paid on our common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

        We have adopted an "opt in" distribution reinvestment plan for our shareholders. As a result, if we make a cash distribution, our shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically "opt in" to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional common shares. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a shareholder's ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan. Although distributions paid in the form of additional common shares will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, shareholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. Shareholders receiving distributions in the form of additional common shares will generally be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of our common shares.

        In connection with the anticipated closing of our public offering, we have further amended and restated our distribution reinvestment plan, or the amended distribution reinvestment plan, which will first apply to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after November 30, 2016. Prior to the amendment to the distribution reinvestment plan, we authorized and declared ordinary cash distributions on a weekly basis and paid such distributions on a monthly basis. On October 3, 2016 and October 26, 2016 our board of trustees declared regular weekly cash distributions for October 2016 and November 2016, respectively. These distributions have been or will be paid monthly to shareholders of record as of weekly record dates previously determined by our board of trustees in the amount of $0.013625 per share. Following the closing of our public offering, we intend to declare regular cash

Table of Contents

distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of trustees.

        We may fund our cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds legally available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, 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 us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from FS Investments. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

        For a period of time following commencement of our continuous public offering, substantial portions of our distributions were funded through the reimbursement of certain expenses by FS Investments and its affiliates, including through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by FS Advisor, that were subject to repayment by us within three years. The purpose of this arrangement was to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders was paid from offering proceeds or borrowings. Any such distributions funded through expense reimbursements or waivers of advisory fees were not based on our investment performance.

        No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 was funded through the reimbursement of operating expenses by FS Investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not repay any amounts to FS Investments for expenses previously reimbursed or waived. There can be no assurance that we will continue to achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all. FS Investments and its affiliates have no obligation to waive advisory fees or otherwise reimburse expenses in future periods.

        The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that we paid on our common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 81.5% and 89.9%, respectively, of the Company's gross investment income on a tax basis was attributable to cash income earned and 5.0% and 0.1%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash income earned. In addition, 10.6% and 8.2%, respectively, was attributed to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest and 2.9% and 1.8%, respectively, was attributed to accretion of discount during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

        Our net investment income on a tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $198,465 and $164,105, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $1,972 and $15,496, respectively, of undistributed ordinary income on a tax basis and distributable income received from a limited partnership interest. During the last twelve months, our distributions exceeded tax-basis net investment income by $7,558. In addition, $15,728 of our tax-basis net investment income was generated by fee income, which is generally non-recurring in nature and the full amount of which is recorded as revenue when earned. Excluding fee income from net investment income during the last twelve months, we would have had distributions in excess of tax-basis net

71


Table of Contents

investment income of $23,286. No portion of the distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 was funded from offering proceeds or borrowings.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we saw positive developments in our investment portfolio and a subsequent increase in our net asset value. However, certain investments in the portfolio were restructured or experienced defaults due to the recently depressed prices of oil and natural gas, and we may experience additional restructurings or defaults in the future. These restructurings and defaults may have an impact on the level of income received by us. As a result, we are evaluating the current distribution rate payable on our common shares and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain a weekly cash distribution amount of $0.013625 per common share (or the quarterly equivalent thereto following the closing of our public offering). FS Advisor will waive its incentive fees and may waive a portion of its management fee through the fourth quarter of 2016 to ensure that no portion of our distributions to shareholders is paid from offering proceeds or borrowings.

        See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our distributions, including a reconciliation of our GAAP-basis net investment income to our tax-basis net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis and deferred taxes as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us 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 our 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 our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As we execute our operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

        We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of trustees. In connection with that determination, FS Advisor provides our 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

72


Table of Contents

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, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

    our quarterly fair valuation process begins with FS Advisor's management team reviewing and documenting preliminary valuations of each portfolio company or investment, which valuations may be obtained from an independent third-party valuation service, if applicable;

    FS Advisor's management team then provides the valuation committee with the preliminary valuations for each portfolio company or investment;

    preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee;

    the valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and FS Advisor's management team, together with our independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, supplements the preliminary valuations to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee;

    following its review, the valuation committee will recommend that our board of trustees approve our fair valuations; and

    our board of trustees discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each such investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of FS 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 our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, our board of trustees may use any approved independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, our 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 FS Advisor or any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service that our board of trustees deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that FS Advisor's management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our board of trustees may consider when determining the fair value of our 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, we 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 portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing our 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.

        Our equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Our 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 our actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

        FS Advisor's management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our 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. FS Advisor's management team, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our 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 our board of trustees, in consultation with FS Advisor's management team and any approved independent third-party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of our 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 we receive 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. Our board of trustees subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.

        The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of trustees. Our board of trustees is solely responsible for the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. Our board of trustees has delegated day-to-day responsibility for implementing our valuation policy to FS Advisor's management team, and has authorized FS Advisor's management team to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by our board of trustees. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing FS Advisor's implementation of the valuation process.

        Our investments as of September 30, 2016 consisted primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Seventeen senior secured loan investments, two senior secured bond investments and six subordinated debt investments were valued by independent valuation firms, which determined 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, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the debt. Twenty-nine of our equity/other investments were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined 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 EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. One equity/other investment, which was traded on an active public market, was valued at its closing price as of September 30, 2016. Except as described above, we valued our other investments, including two of our equity/other investments, 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 an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service.

        Our investments as of December 31, 2015 consisted primarily of debt investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Twenty senior secured loan investments, two senior secured bond investments and five subordinated debt investments were valued by independent valuation firms, which determined 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, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the debt. All of our equity/other investments were valued by an independent valuation firm, which determined 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 EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. Except as described above, we valued our other investments 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 an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service.

Table of Contents

        We periodically benchmark the bid and ask prices we receive from third-party pricing services and/or dealers, as applicable, against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of our management in purchasing and selling these investments, we believe that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. However, because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported), we believe that these valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. We may also use other methods, including the use of independent valuation firms, to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing services or independent dealers or where our board of trustees otherwise determines that the use of such other method is appropriate. We periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firms against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Our valuation committee and board of trustees reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with our valuation policy.

Revenue Recognition

        Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such income. Our policy is to place investments on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. We consider 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 we will receive any previously accrued interest, then the previously recognized 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 payments become current and are likely to remain current based on our judgment.

        Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and we amortize 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 other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we receive 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. We measure 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 and the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for any foreign denominated investments we may hold. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in the value of foreign currency held, 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 such agreement). Such fee equals 20.0% of our incentive fee capital gains (i.e., our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the

75


Table of Contents

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, we accrue for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

        While the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FS Advisor neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an AICPA Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, we include 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 FS Advisor as if our entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FS 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 investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FS Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income, which is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equals 20.0% of our "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 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Advisor does not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.625%. For purposes of this fee, "adjusted capital" means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of our common shares (including proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions from non-liquidating dispositions of our investments paid to shareholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase program. Once our pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS Advisor is 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 our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FS Advisor is entitled to receive 20.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

        We evaluate our 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 our 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. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

        We have entered into an agreement with FS Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement are equal to (a) an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. FS Advisor, and to the extent it provides such services, GSO, are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein and "—Related Party Transactions—Compensation of the Investment Adviser and Dealer Manager" for a discussion of these agreements and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Recent Developments

        During the period from October 1, 2016 to October 25, 2016, we sold 1,968,410 common shares for gross proceeds of $16,037 at an average price per share of $8.15.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2016, 45.9% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 38.3% paid fixed interest rates, 4.9% were income producing equity or other investments and the remainder (10.9%) consisted of non-income producing equity or other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to the variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a

78


Table of Contents

substantial portion of our 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 our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to FS Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

        Pursuant to the terms of the BNP facility, Barclays facility, Deutsche Bank credit facility, Fortress facility, Goldman facility, Natixis credit facility and Wells Fargo credit facility, Berwyn Funding, Bryn Mawr Funding, FSEP Funding, Foxfields Funding, Strafford Funding, Energy Funding and Wayne Funding, respectively, borrow at a floating rate based on a benchmark interest rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

        The following table shows the effect over a twelve-month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our borrowing arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2016 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):

        We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our 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 our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

        In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Portfolio Investments."

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

        As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

        There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
