FS Investment Corporation IV (the “Company”) held its second reconvened Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Second Reconvened Meeting”) on August 17, 2017. As of April 20, 2017, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Second Reconvened Meeting, 20,394,115 shares of common stock were eligible to be voted, and 11,464,609 of those shares were voted in person or by proxy at the Second Reconvened Meeting. Stockholders were asked to consider and act upon the following proposal, which is described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 28, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”):

●

Proposal No. 3 – the amendment and restatement of the Company’s charter to reflect certain amendments described in the Proxy statement (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”).

The votes for, votes against, abstentions and broker non-votes for the Charter Amendment Proposal are set forth below:

The Charter Amendment Proposal was not approved by the stockholders because, pursuant to the Company’s charter, approval of this proposal would have required the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast, which is equivalent to the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date of April 20, 2017. The Company did not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the 20,394,115 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date of April 20, 2017.
