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

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

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