PART I

Many of the amounts and percentages presented in Part I have been rounded for convenience of presentation and all dollar amounts, excluding share and per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless
otherwise noted.



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

FS Investment
Corporation II, or the Company, which may also be referred to as we, us or our, was organized in July 2011 to invest in debt securities of private U.S. companies and commenced operations in June 2012. We are an
externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that 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. As such, we are required
to comply with certain regulatory requirements. In addition, we intend to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

We are managed by FSIC II Advisor, LLC, or FSIC II Advisor, a registered
investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act, which oversees the management of our operations and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio. FSIC II Advisor has engaged GSO /
Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, to act as our investment sub-adviser. GDFM assists FSIC II Advisor in identifying investment opportunities and makes investment recommendations for approval by FSIC II Advisor, according to guidelines
set by FSIC II Advisor. GDFM, a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, is a subsidiary of GSO Capital Partners LP, or GSO, the credit platform of The Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, a leading global alternative asset manager and
provider of financial advisory services. GSO is one of the worlds largest credit platforms in the alternative asset business with approximately $56.4 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2012.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We seek to meet our
investment objectives by:



| |  |  | utilizing the experience and expertise of the management teams of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM, along with the broader resources of GSO, which include its
access to the relationships and human capital of its parent, Blackstone, in sourcing, evaluating and structuring transactions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | employing a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | focusing primarily on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S. companies, including middle-market companies, which we define as companies with
annual revenue of $50 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment. In many market environments, we believe such a focus offers an opportunity for superior risk adjusted returns;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investing primarily in established, stable enterprises with positive cash flows; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining rigorous portfolio monitoring in an attempt to anticipate and pre-empt negative credit events within our portfolio.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans
of private U.S. companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in
which we may invest. We may purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the over-the-counter market for institutional loans or directly from our target companies as primary market investments. In connection with
our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the

##### Table of Contents

form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional
investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities. However, such investments are not expected to comprise a significant portion of our portfolio. We generally
expect that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.

The senior
secured and second lien secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and any subordinated debt investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of
such securities is generally between three and seven years. However, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security we may hold in our portfolio. The loans in which we invest are often rated by a nationally recognized statistical
ratings organization, or NRSRO, and generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc., or Moodys, or lower than BBB- by Standard & Poors
Corporation, or S&P). We also invest in non-rated debt securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we made
investments in portfolio companies totaling $681,503. During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of $182,908 and received principal repayments of $21,340. As of December 31, 2012, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value
of $488,642, consisted of interests in 88 portfolio companies (33% in first lien senior secured loans, 30% in second lien senior secured loans, 10% in senior secured bonds, 22% in subordinated debt, 4% in collateralized securities and 1% in
equity/other). The portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio as of such date had an average annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of approximately $303.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the
investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 95.9% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 78.4% of our
portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was B3 based upon the Moodys scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 10.3% based upon the purchase price of our investments. Our gross annual portfolio
yield, prior to leverage, represents the expected yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of December 31, 2012. The portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to
stockholders

Based on our regular semi-monthly cash distribution rate of $0.030813 per share as of December 31, 2012 and
our public offering price of $10.20 per share as of such date, the annualized distribution rate to stockholders as of December 31, 2012 was 7.25%. The distribution rate to stockholders does not represent an actual investment return to
stockholders and may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors capital. Our gross annual portfolio yield and distribution rate to stockholders are subject to change and in the future may be greater or less than the rates
set forth above. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments. For example, we generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor or
GDFM in transactions originated by FSIC II Advisor or GDFM or their respective affiliates unless we obtain an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, or co-invest alongside FSIC II Advisor or GDFM or their respective
affiliates in accordance with existing regulatory guidance and the allocation policies of FSIC II Advisor, GDFM and their respective affiliates, as applicable. However, we are permitted to, and may, co-invest in syndicated deals and secondary loan
market transactions where price is the only negotiated point. We are currently seeking exemptive relief from the SEC to engage in co-investment transactions with FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates, including FS Investment Corporation and FS Energy
and Power Fund. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain such exemptive relief. In addition, because we are not seeking exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, we will continue to be
permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance. Prior to obtaining exemptive relief, we also intend to co-invest alongside FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates only in accordance with existing
regulatory guidance. While we desire to receive exemptive relief from the SEC, given the latitude permitted within existing regulatory guidance and our current universe of investment opportunities, we do not feel that the absence of exemptive relief
materially affects our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

##### Table of Contents

To seek to enhance our returns, we intend to employ leverage as market conditions permit and
at the discretion of FSIC II Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act.

While a BDC may list its shares for trading in the public markets, we have currently elected not to do so. We believe that a non-traded structure is more appropriate for the long-term nature of the assets
in which we invest. This structure allows us to operate with a long-term view, similar to that of other types of private investment funds, instead of managing to quarterly market expectations. While our offering price, which exceeds our net asset
value per share, is subject to adjustment in accordance with the 1940 Act and our share pricing policy, because our shares will not be listed on a national securities exchange, our stockholders will not be subject to the daily share price volatility
associated with the public markets. However, the net asset value of our shares may be volatile.

To provide our stockholders
with limited liquidity, we intend to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. We are not obligated to repurchase shares and, if we do so, shares will be repurchased at a discount of 10% from the current offering
price at the time of such repurchase. The first such tender offer commenced in August 2012. This will be the only method by which our stockholders may obtain liquidity prior to a liquidity event. Therefore, stockholders may not be able to sell their
shares promptly or at a desired price. If stockholders are able to sell their shares, it is likely they will have to sell them at a significant discount to their purchase price. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased 24,877
shares at $9.045 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $225. Pursuant to an offer dated November 19, 2012, we had offered to purchase any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn (subject to certain limitations) at a price equal to
$9.225 per share (an amount equal to 90% of the Companys January 2, 2013 public offering price of $10.25 per share). No shares were tendered pursuant to this offer.

We do not currently intend to list our shares on an exchange and do not expect a public market to develop for them in the foreseeable future. We intend to seek to complete a liquidity event within five
years following the completion of our offering stage; however, the offering period may extend for an indefinite period. Accordingly, stockholders should consider that they may not have access to the money they invest for an indefinite period of time
until we complete a liquidity event. We will view our offering stage as complete as of the termination date of our most recent public equity offering if we have not conducted a public equity offering in any continuous two-year period. In addition,
shares of BDCs listed on a national securities exchange frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. If we determine to pursue a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, stockholders, including those who purchase shares at the
offering price, may experience a loss on their investment if they sell their shares at a time when our shares are trading at a discount to net asset value. This risk is separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value will decrease.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete a liquidity event.

Market Opportunity

We believe that there are and will continue to be
significant investment opportunities in the senior secured and second lien secured loan asset class, as well as investments in debt securities of middle market companies.

Attractive Opportunities in Senior Secured and Second Lien Secured Loans

Since the beginning of 2009, global credit and other financial market conditions have improved as stability has increased throughout the international financial system. Concentrated policy initiatives
undertaken by central banks and governments appear to have curtailed the incidence of large-scale failures within the global financial system. Concurrently, investor confidence, financial indicators, capital markets activity and asset prices have
improved markedly. While financial conditions have improved, economic activity continues to be somewhat subdued as unemployment rates remain high. Corporate interest rate risk premiums, otherwise known as credit spreads, have declined significantly,
but remain slightly above historical averages. Given current market conditions, it is our view that there are and will continue to be significant investment opportunities in the senior secured and second lien secured loan asset class, as well as
investments in debt securities of middle market companies.

##### Table of Contents

We feel that opportunities in senior secured and second lien secured loans are significant
not only because of the potential returns available, but also because of the strong defensive characteristics of this investment class. Because these loans have priority in payment among an issuers security holders (i.e., they are due to
receive payment before bondholders and equityholders), they carry the least potential risk among investments in the issuers capital structure. Further, these investments are secured by the issuers assets, which may be seized in the event
of a default, if necessary. They generally also carry restrictive covenants aimed at ensuring repayment before unsecured creditors, such as most types of public bondholders, and other security holders and preserving collateral to protect against
credit deterioration. In addition, most senior secured debt issues carry variable interest rate structures, meaning the securities are generally less susceptible to declines in value experienced by fixed-rate securities in a rising interest rate
environment. However, in declining interest rate environments, variable interest rate structures decrease the income we would otherwise receive from our debt securities; although, in many cases, the loan documents governing these securities provide
for an interest rate floor.

The chart below illustrates examples of the collateral used to secure senior secured and second
lien secured debt.

Opportunity in Middle Market
Private Companies

In addition to investing in senior secured and second lien secured loans generally, we believe that
the market for lending to private companies, particularly middle market private companies within the United States, is underserved and presents a compelling investment opportunity. We believe that the following characteristics support our belief:

Large Target Market

According to The U.S. Census Bureau, in its most recent economic census in 2007, there were approximately 40,000 middle market companies in the U.S. with annual revenues between $50 million and $2.5
billion, compared with approximately 1,200 companies with revenues greater than $2.5 billion. These middle market companies represent, we believe, a significant portion of the growth segment of the U.S. economy and often require substantial capital
investment to grow their businesses. In the same economic census mentioned above, The U.S. Census Bureau found that firms in this target market collectively generated $8.3 trillion in revenues and employed 32.8 million people. Middle market
companies have generated a significant number of investment opportunities for investment programs managed by our affiliates and GDFM over the past several years, and we believe that this market segment will continue to produce significant investment
opportunities for us.

##### Table of Contents

Limited Investment Competition

Despite the size of the market, we believe that financial difficulties and a widespread consolidation in the U.S. financial services
industry have substantially reduced the number of investment firms and financial institutions lending to middle market companies. For example, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reported that the number of federally insured financial
institutions declined from approximately 15,200 in 1990 to approximately 7,300 in 2012.

We believe that lending to middle
market companies, which are often private, generally requires a greater dedication of the lenders time and resources compared to lending to larger companies, due in part to the smaller size of each investment and the often fragmented nature of
information available from these companies. Further, many investment firms lack the breadth and scale necessary to track investment opportunities, particularly within the secondary market, in the loans of thousands of middle market firms, meaning
that attractive investment opportunities are often overlooked. In addition, middle market companies may require more active monitoring and participation on the lenders part. We believe that many large financial organizations, which often have
relatively high cost structures, are not equipped to deal with these factors and instead emphasize services and transactions to larger corporate clients with a consequent reduction in the availability of debt financing to middle market companies.

Attractive Market Segment

We believe that the underserved nature of such a large segment of the market can at times create a significant opportunity for investment. In many environments, we believe that middle market companies are
more likely to offer attractive economics in terms of transaction pricing, up-front and ongoing fees, prepayment penalties and security features in the form of stricter covenants and quality collateral than loans to larger companies. Further, due to
a lack of coverage at many investment firms, loans to middle market firms tend to be priced less efficiently, potentially creating attractive opportunities for investment. In addition, as compared to larger companies, middle market companies often
have simpler capital structures and carry less leverage, thus aiding the structuring and negotiation process and allowing us greater flexibility in structuring favorable transactions. We believe that these factors will result in advantageous
conditions in which to pursue our investment objectives of generating current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.

Characteristics of and Risks Related to Investments in Private Companies

We invest primarily in the debt of privately held companies within the United States. Investments in private companies pose significantly greater risks than investments in public companies. First, private
companies have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished capital resources and ability to withstand financial distress. As a result, these companies, which may present greater credit risk than public companies, may be unable to
meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold. Second, the investments themselves may often be illiquid. The securities of many of the companies in which we invest are not publicly-traded or actively-traded on the secondary market
and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. In addition, such securities may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. As such, we may have difficulty exiting an
investment promptly or at a desired price prior to maturity or outside of a normal amortization schedule. These investments also may be difficult to value because little public information generally exists about private companies, requiring an
experienced due diligence team to analyze and value the potential portfolio company. Finally, these companies often may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. We must therefore rely on the ability of FSIC II Advisor
and/or GDFM to obtain adequate information through their due diligence efforts to evaluate the creditworthiness of, and risks involved in investing in, these companies, and to determine the optimal time to exit an investment. These companies and
their financial information will also generally not be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other rules and regulations that govern public companies that are designed to protect investors.

Investment Strategy

When identifying prospective portfolio companies, we focus primarily on the attributes set forth below, which we believe will help us generate higher total returns with an acceptable level of risk. While
these criteria provide general guidelines for our investment decisions, we caution investors that, if we believe the benefits of investing are sufficiently strong, not all of these criteria necessarily will be met by each prospective portfolio
company in which we choose to invest. These attributes are:



| |  |  | Leading, defensible market positions. We seek to invest in companies that have developed strong positions within their respective markets and
exhibit the potential to maintain sufficient cash flows and profitability to service our debt in a range of economic environments. We seek companies that can protect their competitive advantages through scale, scope, customer loyalty, product
pricing or product quality versus their competitors, thereby minimizing business risk and protecting profitability.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investing in stable companies with positive cash flow. We seek to invest in established, stable companies with strong profitability and cash
flows. Such companies, we believe, are well-positioned to maintain consistent cash flow to service and repay our loans and maintain growth in their businesses or market share. We do not intend to invest to any significant degree in start-up
companies, turnaround situations or companies with speculative business plans.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Proven management teams. We focus on companies that have experienced management teams with an established track record of success. We typically
require our portfolio companies to have proper incentives in place to align managements goals with ours.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Private equity sponsorship.Often, we seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what we believe to be high-quality private equity firms.
FSIC II Advisors management team believes that a private equity sponsors willingness to invest significant sums of equity capital into a company is an implicit endorsement of the quality of the investment. Further, by co-investing with
quality private equity firms which commit significant sums of equity capital ranking junior in priority of payment to our debt investments, we may benefit from having due diligence on our investments performed by both parties. Further, strong
private equity sponsors with significant investments at risk have the ability and a strong incentive to contribute additional capital in difficult economic times should operational or financial issues arise.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Allocation among various issuers and industries. We seek to allocate our portfolio broadly among issuers and industries, thereby attempting to
reduce the risk of a downturn in any one company or industry having a disproportionate adverse impact on the value of our portfolio.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Viable exit strategy. We attempt to invest in securities that may be sold in a privately negotiated over-the-counter market, providing us a
means by which we may exit our positions. We expect that a large portion of our portfolio may be sold on this secondary market for the foreseeable future, depending on market conditions. For any investments that are not able to be sold within this
market, we focus primarily on investing in companies whose business models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of our investments, an initial public offering of equity securities, a merger, a sale or a
recapitalization, in each case with the potential for capital gains.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Potential Competitive Strengths

We believe that we offer our investors the following potential competitive strengths:

Global platform with seasoned investment professionals

We believe that the breadth and depth of the experience of FSIC II Advisors senior management team, together with the wider
resources of GSOs investment team, which is dedicated to sourcing, structuring, executing, monitoring and harvesting a broad range of private investments, as well as the specific expertise of GDFM, provide us with a significant competitive
advantage in sourcing and analyzing attractive investment opportunities.

##### Table of Contents

Long-term investment horizon

Our long-term investment horizon gives us great flexibility, which we believe allows us to maximize returns on our investments. Unlike
most private equity and venture capital funds, as well as many private debt funds, we are not required to return capital to our stockholders once we exit a portfolio investment. We believe that freedom from such capital return requirements, which
allows us to invest using a longer-term focus, provides us with the opportunity to increase total returns on invested capital, compared to other private company investment vehicles.

GDFM transaction sourcing capability

FSIC II Advisor seeks to leverage GDFMs significant access to transaction flow. GDFM seeks to generate investment opportunities through syndicate and club deals (generally, investments made by a
small group of investment firms) and, subject to regulatory constraints as discussed under Regulation, and the allocation policies of GDFM and its affiliates, as applicable, also through GSOs proprietary origination channels.
These include significant contacts to participants in the credit and leveraged finance marketplace, which it can draw upon in sourcing investment opportunities for us. With respect to syndicate and club deals, GDFM has built a network of
relationships with commercial and investment banks, finance companies and other investment funds as a result of the long track record of its investment professionals in the leveraged finance marketplace. With respect to GDFMs origination
channel, FSIC II Advisor seeks to leverage the global presence of GSO to generate access to a substantial amount of originated transactions with attractive investment characteristics. We believe that the broad network of GDFM will produce a
significant pipeline of investment opportunities for us. GDFM also has a significant trading platform, allowing us access to the secondary market for investment opportunities.

Disciplined, income-oriented investment philosophy

FSIC II Advisor
and GDFM employ a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection. This investment approach involves a multi-stage selection process for each investment opportunity, as well as ongoing monitoring of
each investment made, with particular emphasis on early detection of deteriorating credit conditions at portfolio companies which would result in adverse portfolio developments. This strategy is designed to maximize current income and minimize the
risk of capital loss while maintaining the potential for long-term capital appreciation.

Investment expertise across
all levels of the corporate capital structure

FSIC II Advisor and GDFM believe that their broad expertise and
experience investing at all levels of a companys capital structure enable us to manage risk while affording us the opportunity for significant returns on our investments. We attempt to capitalize on this expertise in an effort to produce and
maintain an investment portfolio that will perform in a broad range of economic conditions.

Operating and Regulatory Structure

Our investment activities are managed by FSIC II Advisor and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are
independent. Under our investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we have agreed to pay FSIC II Advisor an annual base management fee based on our gross assets as well as incentive fees based on our performance. See Item 7.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsContractual Obligations for a description of the fees we pay to FSIC II Advisor.

From time to time, FSIC II Advisor may enter into sub-advisory relationships with registered investment advisers that possess skills or
attributes that FSIC II Advisor believes will aid it in achieving our investment objectives. FSIC II Advisor has engaged GDFM to act as our investment sub-adviser. GDFM assists FSIC II Advisor in identifying investment opportunities and makes
investment recommendations for approval by FSIC II Advisor according to guidelines set by FSIC II Advisor.

##### Table of Contents

FSIC II Advisor oversees our day-to-day operations, including the provision of general
ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. FSIC II Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes
being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FSIC II 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 stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others.

For providing these services, facilities and personnel, we reimburse FSIC II Advisor for administrative expenses it incurs in
performing its obligations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FSIC II Advisors actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate we would be required to pay alternative
service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FSIC II Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable
metrics. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known
to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of directors compares the total amount
paid to FSIC II Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. We do not reimburse FSIC II 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 FSIC II Advisor.

We have
contracted with State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide various accounting and administrative services. We have also contracted with Vigilant Compliance Services, LLC to provide us with a chief compliance officer, Salvatore Faia, a principal
with that firm.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. Also, while we are permitted to
finance investments using debt, our ability to use debt will be limited in certain significant respects pursuant to the 1940 Act. Within the limits of existing regulation, we will adjust our use of debt, according to market conditions, to the level
we believe will allow us to generate maximum risk-adjusted returns. See Regulation. We intend to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the
Code.

Investment Types

We focus primarily on investments in debt securities, including senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans. FSIC II Advisor will seek to tailor our
investment focus as market conditions evolve. Depending on market conditions, we may increase or decrease our exposure to less senior portions of the capital structure, where returns tend to be stronger in a more stable or growing economy, but less
secure in weak economic environments. Below is a diagram illustrating where these investments lie in a typical portfolio companys capital structure. Senior secured debt is situated at the top of the capital structure, and typically has the
first claim on the assets and cash flows of the company, followed by second lien secured debt, subordinated debt, preferred equity and, finally, common equity. Due to this priority of cash flows, an investments risk increases as it moves
further down the capital structure. Investors are usually compensated for this risk associated with junior status in the form of higher returns, either through higher interest payments or potentially higher capital appreciation. We rely on FSIC II
Advisors and GDFMs experience to structure investments, possibly using all levels of the capital structure, which we believe will perform in a broad range of economic environments.

Typical Leveraged Capital Structure Diagram



LOGO

Senior Secured Loans

Senior secured loans are situated at the top of the capital structure. Because these loans have priority in payment, they carry the least
risk among all investments in a firm. Generally, our senior secured loans are expected to have maturities of three to seven years, offer some form of amortization, and have first priority security interests in the assets of the borrower. Generally,
we expect that the interest rate on our senior secured loans typically will have variable rates ranging between 2.0% and 6.0% over a standard benchmark, such as the prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR.

Second Lien Secured Loans

Second lien secured loans are immediately junior to senior secured loans and have substantially the same maturities, collateral and covenant structures as senior secured loans. Second lien secured loans,
however, are granted a second priority security interest in the assets of the borrower. In return for this junior ranking, second lien secured loans generally offer higher returns compared to senior secured debt. These higher returns come in the
form of higher interest and in some cases the potential for equity participation through warrants, though to a lesser extent than with subordinated loans. Generally, we expect these loans to carry a fixed or a floating current yield of 4.0% to 8.0%
over the prime rate or LIBOR. In addition, we may receive additional returns from any warrants we may receive in connection with these investments.

---

##### Table of Contents

Subordinated Debt

In addition to senior secured and second lien secured loans, we also may invest a portion of our assets in subordinated debt. Subordinated
debt investments usually rank junior in priority of payment to senior secured loans and second lien secured loans and are often unsecured, but are situated above preferred equity and common stock in the capital structure. In return for their junior
status compared to senior secured loans and second lien secured loans, subordinated debt investments typically offer higher returns through both higher interest rates and possible equity ownership in the form of warrants, enabling the lender to
participate in the capital appreciation of the borrower. These warrants typically require only a nominal cost to exercise. We intend to generally target subordinated debt with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security, with the
principal due at maturity. Typically, subordinated debt investments have maturities of five to ten years. Generally, we expect these securities to carry a fixed or a floating current yield of 6.0% to 12.0% over the prime rate or LIBOR. In addition,
we may receive additional returns from any warrants we may receive in connection with these investments. In some cases, a portion of the total interest may accrue or be paid-in-kind, or PIK.

Equity and Equity-Related Securities

While we intend to maintain our focus on investments in debt securities, from time to time, when we see the potential for extraordinary gain, or in connection with securing particularly favorable terms in
a debt investment, we may enter into non-control investments in preferred or common equity, typically in conjunction with a private equity sponsor we believe to be of high quality. In addition, we typically receive the right to make equity
investments in a portfolio company whose debt securities we hold in connection with the next equity financing round for that company. This right will provide us with the opportunity to further enhance our returns over time through equity investments
in our portfolio companies. In addition, we may hold equity-related securities consisting primarily of warrants or other equity interests generally obtained in connection with our subordinated debt or other investments. In the future, we may achieve
liquidity through a merger or acquisition of a portfolio company, a public offering of a portfolio companys stock or by exercising our right, if any, to require a portfolio company to repurchase the equity-related securities we hold. With
respect to any preferred or common equity investments, we expect to target an annual investment return of at least 20%.

Non-U.S. Securities

We may invest in non-U.S. securities, which may include securities denominated in U.S. dollars or in non-U.S. currencies, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We may maintain a certain level of cash or equivalent instruments to make follow-on investments if necessary in existing portfolio companies or to take advantage of new opportunities.

Comparison of Targeted Debt Investments to Corporate Bonds

Loans to private companies are debt instruments that can be compared to corporate bonds to aid an investors understanding. As with
corporate bonds, loans to private companies can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuers cash flows, the quality
of assets securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject companys debt obligations. As is the case in the corporate bond market, we will require greater returns for securities that we perceive to carry increased risk. The
companies in which we invest may be leveraged, often as a result of leveraged buyouts or other recapitalization transactions, and, in certain cases, will not be rated by national rating agencies. We believe that our targeted debt investments
typically will carry ratings from an NRSRO and that such ratings generally will be below investment grade (rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys or lower than BBB- by S&P). To the extent we make unrated investments, we
believe that such investments would likely receive similar ratings if they were to be examined by an NRSRO. Compared to below-



12



---

##### Table of Contents

investment grade corporate bonds that are typically available to the public, our targeted senior secured and second lien secured loan investments are higher in the capital structure, have
priority in receiving payment, are secured by the issuers assets, allow the lender to seize collateral if necessary, and generally exhibit higher rates of recovery in the event of default. Corporate bonds, on the other hand, are often
unsecured obligations of the issuer.

The market for loans to private companies possesses several key differences compared to
the corporate bond market. For instance, due to a possible lack of debt ratings for certain middle market firms, and also due to the reduced availability of information for private companies, investors must conduct extensive due diligence
investigations before committing to an investment. This intensive due diligence process gives the investor significant access to management, which is often not possible in the case of corporate bondholders, who rely on underwriters, debt rating
agencies and publicly available information for due diligence reviews and monitoring of corporate issuers. While holding these investments, private debt investors often receive monthly or quarterly updates on the portfolio companys financial
performance, along with possible representation on the companys board of directors, which allows the investor to take remedial action quickly if conditions happen to deteriorate. Due to reduced liquidity, the relative scarcity of capital and
extensive due diligence and expertise required on the part of the investor, we believe that private debt securities typically offer higher returns than corporate bonds of equivalent credit quality.

Sources of Income

The
primary means through which our stockholders will receive a return of value is through interest income, dividends and capital gains generated by our investments. In addition to these sources of income, we may receive fees paid by our portfolio
companies, including one-time closing fees paid at the time each investment is made and monitoring fees paid throughout the term of our investments. Closing fees typically range from 1.0% to 2.0% of the purchase price of an investment, while
monitoring fees generally range from 0.25% to 1.0% of the purchase price of an investment annually. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial
assistance, consulting fees and performance-based fees.

Risk Management

We seek to limit the downside potential of our investment portfolio by:



| |  |  | applying our investment strategy guidelines for portfolio investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring a total return on investments (including both interest and potential appreciation) that adequately compensates us for credit risk;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allocating our portfolio among various issuers and industries, size permitting, with an adequate number of companies, across different industries, with
different types of collateral; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | negotiating or seeking debt investments with covenants or features that protect us while affording portfolio companies flexibility in managing their
businesses consistent with preservation of capital.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such restrictions may include affirmative and negative
covenants, default penalties, lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights. We may also enter into interest rate hedging transactions at the sole discretion of FSIC II Advisor. Such transactions will enable us to selectively modify
interest rate exposure as market conditions dictate.

Affirmative Covenants

Affirmative covenants require borrowers to take actions that are meant to ensure the solvency of the company, facilitate the lenders
monitoring of the borrower, and ensure payment of interest and loan principal due to lenders. Examples of affirmative covenants include covenants requiring the borrower to maintain adequate insurance, accounting and tax records, and to produce
frequent financial reports for the benefit of the lender.

Negative Covenants

Negative covenants impose restrictions on the borrower and are meant to protect lenders from actions that the borrower may take that could
harm the credit quality of the lenders investments. Examples of negative covenants include restrictions on the payment of dividends and restrictions on the issuance of additional debt without the lenders approval. In addition, certain
covenants restrict a borrowers activities by requiring it to meet certain earnings interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio requirements. These covenants are also referred to as financial or maintenance covenants.

Investment Process

The
investment professionals employed by FSIC II Advisor and GDFM have spent their careers developing the resources necessary to invest in private companies. Our transaction process is highlighted below.

Our Transaction Process



LOGO

Sourcing

In order to source transactions, FSIC II Advisor seeks to leverage GDFMs significant access to transaction flow, along with GDFMs trading platform, which allows for access to the syndicated
loan market, a key source of investment opportunities for us. GDFM seeks to generate investment opportunities through its trading platform, through syndicate and club deals and, subject to regulatory constraints and the allocation policies of GDFM
and its affiliates, as applicable, through GSOs proprietary origination channels. With respect to syndicate and club deals, GDFM has built a network of relationships with commercial and investment banks, finance companies and other investment
funds as a result of the long track record of its investment professionals in the leveraged finance marketplace. With respect to GDFMs origination channel, FSIC II Advisor seeks to leverage the global presence of GSO to generate access to
originated transactions with attractive investment characteristics. We believe that the broad networks of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM will produce a significant pipeline of investment opportunities for us.

Evaluation

Initial Review. In its initial review of an investment opportunity to present to FSIC II Advisor, GDFMs transaction team examines information furnished by the target company and external
sources, including rating agencies, if applicable, to determine whether the investment meets our basic investment criteria and other guidelines specified by FSIC II Advisor, within the context of proper allocation of our portfolio among various
issuers and industries, and offers an acceptable probability of attractive returns with identifiable downside risk. For the majority of securities available on the secondary market, a comprehensive analysis is conducted and continuously maintained
by a dedicated GDFM research analyst, the results of which are available for the transaction team to review. In the case of a primary transaction, FSIC II Advisor and GDFM conduct detailed due diligence investigations as necessary.

Credit Analysis/Due Diligence. Before undertaking an investment, the transaction team conducts a thorough due diligence review of
the opportunity to ensure the company fits our investment strategy, which may include:



| |  |  | a full operational analysis to identify the key risks and opportunities of the targets business, including a detailed review of historical and
projected financial results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a detailed analysis of industry dynamics, competitive position, regulatory, tax and legal matters;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | on-site visits, if deemed necessary;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | background checks to further evaluate management and other key personnel;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a review by legal and accounting professionals, environmental or other industry consultants, if necessary;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | financial sponsor due diligence, including portfolio company and lender reference checks, if necessary; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a review of managements experience and track record.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

When possible, our advisory team seeks to structure transactions in such a way that our target companies are required to bear the costs of due diligence, including those costs related to any outside
consulting work we may require.

Execution

Recommendation.FSIC II Advisor has engaged GDFM to identify and recommend investment opportunities for its approval. GDFM seeks to
maintain a defensive approach toward its investment recommendations by emphasizing risk control in its transaction process, which includes (i) the pre-review of each opportunity by one of its portfolio managers to assess the general quality,
value and fit relative to our portfolio, (ii) where possible, transaction structuring with a focus on preservation of capital in varying economic environments and (iii) ultimate approval of investment recommendations by GDFMs
investment committee.

Approval. After completing its internal transaction process, GDFM makes formal recommendations
for review and approval by FSIC II Advisor. In connection with its recommendation, it transmits any relevant underwriting material and other information pertinent to the decision-making process. In addition, GDFM makes its staff available to answer
inquiries by FSIC II Advisor in connection with its recommendations. The consummation of a transaction requires unanimous approval of the members of FSIC II Advisors investment committee.

Monitoring

Portfolio Monitoring.FSIC II Advisor, with the help of GDFM, monitors our portfolio with a focus toward anticipating negative credit events. To maintain portfolio company performance and help to
ensure a successful exit, FSIC II Advisor and GDFM work closely with the lead equity sponsor, loan syndicator, portfolio company management, consultants, advisers and other security holders to discuss financial position, compliance with covenants,
financial requirements and execution of the companys business plan. In addition, depending on the size, nature and performance of the transaction, we may occupy a seat or serve as an observer on a portfolio companys board of directors or
similar governing body.

Typically, FSIC II Advisor and GDFM receive financial reports detailing operating performance, sales
volumes, margins, cash flows, financial position and other key operating metrics on a quarterly basis from our portfolio companies. FSIC II Advisor and GDFM use this data, combined with due diligence gained through contact with the companys
customers, suppliers, competitors, market research and other methods, to conduct an ongoing, rigorous assessment of the companys operating performance and prospects.

##### Table of Contents

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



|                  |  |

|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.                                                                     

FSIC II Advisor monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each
investment in our portfolio. In connection with valuing our assets, our board of directors reviews these investment ratings on a quarterly basis. In the event that our board of directors or advisory team determines that an investment is
underperforming, or circumstances suggest that the risk associated with a particular investment has significantly increased, they will attempt to sell the asset in the secondary market, if applicable, or to implement a plan to attempt to exit the
investment or to correct the situation.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5
investment rating scale at fair value as of December 31, 2012:



|                  |  |                         |         |  |                       |  |     |

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.

Valuation Process.Each quarter, we value investments in our portfolio, and such values are
disclosed each quarter in reports filed with the SEC. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are recorded at such market quotations. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board
of directors determines the fair value of such investments in good faith, utilizing the input of management, our valuation committee, FSIC II Advisor and any other professionals or materials that our board of directors deems worthy and relevant,
including GDFM, independent third-party pricing services and independent third-party valuation firms, if applicable. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsValuation of
Portfolio Investments.

Managerial Assistance.As a BDC, we must offer, and provide upon request, managerial
assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising



16

officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. Depending on the nature of the assistance required, FSIC II Advisor or GDFM will provide such managerial
assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance. To the extent fees are paid for these services, we, rather than FSIC II Advisor or GDFM, will retain any fees paid for such assistance.

Exit

We attempt to invest in securities that may be sold in a privately negotiated over-the-counter market, providing us a means by which we may exit our positions. We expect that a large portion of our
portfolio will continue to be sold on this secondary market for the foreseeable future, depending on market conditions. For any investments that are not able to be sold within this market, we focus primarily in investing in companies whose business
models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of our investments, an initial public offering of equity securities, a merger, a sale or a recapitalization, in each case with the potential for capital gains.

Financing Arrangements

Total Return Swap

On July 2, 2012, our wholly-owned, special
purpose financing subsidiary, Del River LLC, or Del River, entered into a total return swap, or TRS, for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank. On September 12, 2012, Del River entered into an
amendment to the TRS to increase the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS from $100,000 to $175,000; on September 27, 2012, Del River entered into a second amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from
$175,000 to $275,000; on November 15, 2012, Del River entered into a third amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $275,000 to $375,000; and on December 13, 2012, Del River entered into a fourth amendment to the TRS to increase
this amount from $375,000 to $425,000.

The TRS with Citibank enables us, through our ownership of Del River, to obtain the
economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Del River borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to
a lender.

The obligations of Del River under the TRS are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the TRS is limited to the
value of our investment in Del River, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Del River under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value
(determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $425,000. Del River is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in
accordance with margin requirements described in the agreements governing the TRS with Citibank, which are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Del River has agreed not to draw upon, or post as
collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Del River are available to pay our
debts.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that we have entered into with Del River, we act as the
manager of the rights and obligations of Del River under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by Del River for purposes of the TRS are selected
by us in accordance with our investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select any loan or obligation available
in the market to be included in the portfolio of loans that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the TRS Agreement.

##### Table of Contents

Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria
described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that substantially all of the loans underlying the TRS be rated by Moodys and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as
calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to
terminate the TRS. Del River receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Del River pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum on the full
notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Del River will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any
depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Del River may be required to post additional cash
collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Del River may be required to post pursuant
to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Del River. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Del River is determined primarily
on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

We have no contractual obligation to post any such additional
collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank. We may, but are not obligated to, increase our equity investment in Del River for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Del River may become
obligated during the term of the TRS. If we do not make any such additional investment in Del River and Del River fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral
posted by Del River under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Del River would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after July 2, 2013, the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Del River may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no
less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under the
terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Del River to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including July 2, 2013. Such monthly
payments will equal the product of (x) 85%, multiplied by (y) the aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($425,000 as of December 31, 2012), multiplied by (z) 1.25% per annum. If the TRS had been terminated as of
December 31, 2012, Del River would have been required to pay an early termination fee of approximately $2,166. Other than during the first 90 days and last 30 days of the term of the TRS, Del River is required to pay a minimum usage fee in
connection with the TRS.

The value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans
subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open
market. Citibank reports the mark-to-market values of the underlying loans to Del River. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the TRS was $5,641. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total
return swap on our consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of December 31, 2012, Del
River had selected 97 underlying loans with a total notional amount of $383,742 and posted $97,441 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $96,251 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated
balance sheets. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFinancial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources for a more detailed discussion of the terms of the TRS.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS,
less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Del River under the

TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations
adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we treat each loan
underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. See Regulation. We may, however, accord
different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

JPM Financing

On February 6, 2013, through our two newly
formed, wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, Lehigh River LLC, or Lehigh River, and Cobbs Creek LLC, or Cobbs Creek, we entered into an amendment, or the February 2013 amendment, to our conventional debt financing
arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, or JPM, which we originally entered into on October 26, 2012. The February 2013 amendment, among other things: (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the
arrangement from $150,000 to $300,000 and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the financing arrangement from November 20, 2016 to February 20, 2017. We 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 be available through alternate arrangements.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, we may sell from time to time loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $640,000 ($316,500 prior to the February 2013 amendment) to
Lehigh River pursuant to an amended and restated asset transfer agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between us and Lehigh River, or the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset
Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013, we had sold loans to Lehigh River for a purchase price of approximately $202,300, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Lehigh River. It is expected that the aggregate
amount of loans held by Lehigh River when the financing arrangement is fully-ramped will be approximately $640,000.

The loans
held by Lehigh River will secure the obligations of Lehigh River under Class A Floating Rate Notes, or the Class A Notes, to be issued from time to time by Lehigh River to Cobbs Creek pursuant to an amended and restated indenture, dated as
of February 6, 2013, with Citibank, as trustee, or the Amended and Restated Indenture. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes that may be issued by Lehigh River from time to time is
$360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Principal on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of February 20, 2024 (November 20, 2023 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Interest on the
Class A Notes accrues at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Cobbs Creek will purchase the Class A Notes to be issued by Lehigh River from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, Lehigh River has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply
with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the Amended and Restated Indenture contains the following events
of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the Class A Notes at their stated maturity or redemption date, or to make interest payments on the Class A Notes within five business days of when due; (b) the failure of
the aggregate outstanding principal balance (subject to certain reductions) of the loans securing the Class A Notes to be at least 147.07% of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes; and (c) GDFM ceasing to be the
sub-adviser to our investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor.

Cobbs Creek, in turn, has entered into a repurchase transaction with
JPM, pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated master repurchase agreement and the related annex and amended and restated confirmation thereto, each dated as of February 6, 2013, or collectively, the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM
Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A Notes held by Cobbs Creek for an aggregate purchase price



19

##### Table of Contents

equal to approximately 83.33% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased
under the JPM Facility is $360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility will not exceed $300,000 ($150,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment).
Under the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must occur no later than
February 20, 2017 (November 20, 2016 prior to the February 2013 amendment). The repurchase price paid by Cobbs Creek to JPM for each repurchase of the Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A
Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. Commencing February 20, 2015, Cobbs Creek is permitted to reduce (based on certain thresholds) the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes subject to the JPM
Facility. Such reductions, and any other reductions of the principal amount of Class A Notes, including upon an event of default, will be subject to breakage fees in an amount equal to the present value of 1.25% per annum over the
remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

If at any time during the term of the JPM
Facility the market value of the loans held by Lehigh River securing the Class A Notes declines by an amount greater than 27% of their initial aggregate purchase price, or the Margin Threshold, Cobbs Creek will be required to post cash
collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. In such event, in order to satisfy any such margin-posting requirements, Cobbs Creek intends to
borrow funds from us pursuant to an amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between Cobbs Creek, as borrower, and us, as lender, or the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. We may, in our sole
discretion, make such loans from time to time to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement will accrue interest at a rate equal to
one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

In connection with the JPM Facility, we may sell from time to time
loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $180,000 ($90,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment) to Cobbs Creek pursuant to an amended and restated asset transfer agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between
us and Cobbs Creek, or the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement. The loans purchased by Cobbs Creek from us will secure the obligations of Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility. Under the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer
Agreement, we had sold loans to Cobbs Creek for a purchase price of approximately $35,700, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Cobbs Creek.

Pursuant to the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for
similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the JPM Facility contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to pay the repurchase price upon the applicable payment dates;
(b) the failure to post required cash collateral with JPM as discussed above; and (c) the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Indenture.

In connection with the Class A Notes and the Amended and Restated Indenture, Lehigh River also entered into (i) a collateral management agreement with us, as collateral manager, dated as of
October 26, 2012 and amended as of February 6, 2013, or the Lehigh Management Agreement, pursuant to which we will manage the assets of Lehigh River; and (ii) a collateral administration agreement with Virtus Group, LP, or Virtus, as
collateral administrator, and us, as collateral manager, dated as of October 26, 2012 and amended as of February 6, 2013, or the Lehigh Administration Agreement, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with
respect to the assets of Lehigh River. In connection with the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek also entered into a collateral management agreement with us, as collateral manager, dated as of October 26, 2012, or the Cobbs Management Agreement,
pursuant to which we will manage the assets of Cobbs Creek.

As of December 31, 2012, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$141,000 had been purchased by Cobbs Creek from Lehigh River and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of approximately $117,500. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of loans held by Lehigh River was
$270,119, which included loans purchased by Lehigh River with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. We funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Cobbs Creek through a capital contribution to Cobbs Creek. As of December 31, 2012,
Cobbs Creeks liability under the JPM Facility was $117,500, plus $274 of accrued interest expense. The Class A Notes issued by Lehigh River and purchased by Cobbs Creek eliminate in consolidation on our financial statements.

On February 6, 2013, Lehigh River issued and sold to Cobbs Creek an additional $39,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A
Notes and Cobbs Creek sold such Class A Notes to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $32,500. During the 180-day period following February 6, 2013, Lehigh River intends to issue and sell to Cobbs Creek an additional
$180,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes and Cobbs Creek intends to enter into additional repurchase transactions under the JPM Facility with respect to such Class A Notes.

Amounts outstanding under the JPM Facility will be considered borrowings by us for purposes of complying with the asset coverage
requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

Regulation

We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions
between BDCs and their affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters. The 1940 Act requires that a majority of our directors be persons other than interested persons, as that term is defined in the
1940 Act. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDC unless approved by a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

The 1940 Act defines a majority of the outstanding voting securities as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting
securities present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (ii) 50% of our voting securities.

We will generally not be able to issue and sell our common stock at a price per share, after deducting selling commissions and dealer
manager fees, that is below our net asset value per share. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Business Development CompaniesRegulations governing our operation as a BDC and RIC will affect our ability to raise, and the way
in which we raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on our growth. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the
then-current net asset value of our common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In addition, we may generally issue new
shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share in rights offerings to existing stockholders, in payment of dividends and in certain other limited circumstances.

As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments. For example, we generally are not permitted to
co-invest with certain entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor or GDFM in transactions originated by FSIC II Advisor or GDFM or their respective affiliates unless we obtain an exemptive order from the SEC or co-invest alongside FSIC II Advisor or
GDFM or their respective affiliates in accordance with existing regulatory guidance and the allocation policies of FSIC II Advisor, GDFM and their respective affiliates, as applicable. However, we are permitted to, and may co-invest in syndicated
deals and secondary loan market transactions where price is the only negotiated point. We are currently seeking exemptive relief from the SEC to engage in co-investment transactions with FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates, including FS Investment
Corporation and FS Energy and Power Fund. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain such exemptive relief. In addition, because we are not seeking exemptive relief to engage in co-investment

transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, we will continue to be permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance. Prior to obtaining
exemptive relief, we also intend to co-invest alongside FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance. While we desire to receive exemptive relief from the SEC, given the latitude permitted within existing
regulatory guidance and our current universe of investment opportunities, we do not feel that the absence of exemptive relief materially affects our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Qualifying Assets

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the
acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the companys total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are any of the following:



| | 1. | Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions) is an
eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible
portfolio company is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which:
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | a. | is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b. | is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain
exclusions under the 1940 Act; and
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c. | satisfies any of the following:
| | -- | -------------------------------



| | i. | does not have any class of securities that is traded on a national securities exchange;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ii. | has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, but has an aggregate market value of outstanding voting and non-voting common equity of less than
$250 million;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iii. | is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iv. | is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4.0 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2.0 million.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Securities of any eligible portfolio company that we control.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions
incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities, was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than
conventional lending or financing arrangements.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and we already own 60% of
the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5. | Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the exercise of
warrants or rights relating to such securities.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6. | Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, a BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the
purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) above.

##### Table of Contents

For purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we will treat each loan underlying
the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in
accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Managerial Assistance to
Portfolio Companies

In order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, we
must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance; except that, where we purchase such
securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group may make available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby
the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment in other types of qualifying assets, as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities
maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets. Typically, we will invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements,
provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous
agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets
that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of our total assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we would not meet the asset diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal
income tax purposes as described below under Taxation as a RIC. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. FSIC II Advisor will monitor the creditworthiness of the
counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

Senior Securities

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of debt and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our
asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our stockholders or the
repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary or emergency purposes
without regard to asset coverage. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Debt Financing and Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Business Development
Companies.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we will treat the outstanding
notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Del River under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future
in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Code of Ethics

We and FSIC II Advisor have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that, among other things, establishes
procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by us, so
long as such investments are made in accordance with the codes requirements. These codes of ethics are attached as exhibits to the registration statement pertaining to the public offering of our shares of common stock. Stockholders may also
read and copy these codes of ethics at the SECs Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Stockholders may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
(202) 551-8090. In addition, our code of ethics is available on our website at www.fsinvestmentcorpII.com and on the EDGAR Database on the SECs Internet site at www.sec.gov. Stockholders may also obtain a copy of each code
of ethics, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SECs Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549.

Compliance Policies and Procedures

We and FSIC II Advisor have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the federal securities laws and are required to review these compliance
policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation. Our chief compliance officer and the chief compliance officer of FSIC II Advisor are responsible for administering these policies and procedures.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to FSIC II Advisor. The proxy voting policies and procedures of FSIC II Advisor are set forth below. The guidelines are reviewed periodically by FSIC II
Advisor and our non-interested directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change.

As an investment adviser registered under
the Advisers Act, FSIC II Advisor has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, it recognizes that it must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best
interests of its clients. These policies and procedures for voting proxies for the investment advisory clients of FSIC II Advisor are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers Act.

FSIC II Advisor will vote proxies relating to our securities in the best interest of its clients stockholders. It will review on a
case-by-case basis each proposal submitted for a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by its clients. Although FSIC II Advisor will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on its
clients portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exists compelling long-term reasons to do so.

The proxy voting decisions of FSIC II Advisor are made by the senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of its
clients investments. To ensure that its vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, it will require that: (a) anyone involved in the decision-making process disclose to its chief compliance officer any potential conflict that he or
she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (b) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how FSIC II Advisor intends
to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

Stockholders may obtain
information, without charge, regarding how FSIC II Advisor voted proxies with respect to our portfolio securities by making a written request for proxy voting information to: Chief Compliance Officer, FS Investment Corporation II, Cira Centre, 2929
Arch Street, Suite 675, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 or by calling us collect at (215) 495-1150.

Other

We will be periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.

We
are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect us against larceny and embezzlement. Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to us
or our stockholders arising from willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such persons office.

Securities Exchange Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliance

We are
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, including the filing of quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other required items. In addition, we
are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. For example:



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are required to certify the accuracy of the
financial statements contained in our periodic reports;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K, our periodic reports are required to disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, our management will be required to prepare a
report regarding its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
requires us to review our current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith. In addition, we intend to voluntarily comply with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and will engage our independent registered public accounting firm to audit
our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Taxation as a RIC

We intend to elect, effective prior to the commencement of our operations, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a
RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and
asset diversification requirements (as described below). In addition, in order to obtain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, which is
generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, or the Annual Distribution Requirement.

If we:



| |  |  | qualify as a RIC; and
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

then we will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of our income we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to stockholders. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular
corporate rates on any income or capital gains not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our stockholders.



25



---

##### Table of Contents

We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income
unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 of that
calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax, or the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement. We generally will endeavor in each taxable year to avoid any U.S. federal
excise tax on our earnings.

In order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things:



| |  |  | continue to qualify as a BDC under the 1940 Act at all times during each taxable year;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities, loans, gains from
the sale of stock or other securities, net income from certain qualified publicly-traded partnerships, or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities
if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more than 5% of the value of our assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one
issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or of certain qualified publicly-traded partnerships, or the
Diversification Tests.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For federal income tax purposes, we may be required to recognize taxable income in
circumstances in which we do not receive a corresponding payment in cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in
certain cases, increasing interest rates or debt instruments that were issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash
representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in income other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are
paid in non-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. We anticipate that a portion of our income may constitute original issue discount or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash.

Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of
the accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though we will not have received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, we may have difficulty meeting the
Annual Distribution Requirement necessary to qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. We may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt
or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

Although we do not presently expect to do so, we are authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets in order to satisfy distribution
requirements. However, under the 1940 Act, we are not permitted to make distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain asset coverage tests are met. See
RegulationSenior Securities. Moreover, our ability to dispose of assets to meet our distribution requirements may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of our portfolio and/or (2) other

requirements relating to our status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets in order to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement or the Excise Tax Avoidance
Requirement, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.

Employees

We do not currently have any employees. Each of our executive officers, aside from our chief compliance officer, Mr. Faia, is a
principal, officer or employee of FSIC II Advisor, which manages and oversees our investment operations. Mr. Faia is not affiliated with FSIC II Advisor. In the future, FSIC II Advisor may retain additional investment personnel based upon its
needs.

Available Information

Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, we will distribute our quarterly report on Form 10-Q to all stockholders of record and to the state securities administrator in each state in which we
offer or sell securities. In addition, we will distribute our annual report on Form 10-K to all stockholders and to the state securities administrator in each state in which we offer or sell securities within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year. These reports will also be available on our website at www.fsinvestmentcorpII.com and on the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form
10-K and stockholders should not consider information contained on our website to be part of this annual report on Form 10-K.

We are required to file with or submit to the SEC annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information meeting
the informational requirements of the Exchange Act. Stockholders may inspect and copy these reports, proxy statements and other information, as well as related exhibits and schedules, at the Public Reference Room of the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20549. Stockholders may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (202) 551-8090. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other
information filed electronically by us with the SEC, which are available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Copies of these reports, proxy and information statements and other information may be obtained, after paying a duplicating
fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SECs Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

##### Table of Contents

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this annual
report on Form 10-K, investors should consider carefully the following information before making an investment in our common stock. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. In such case, the net asset value of our common stock could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock

Investors will not know the
purchase price per share at the time they submit their subscription agreements and could receive fewer shares of common stock than anticipated if our board of directors determines to increase the offering price to comply with the requirement that we
avoid selling shares below our net asset value per share.

The purchase price at which stockholders purchase shares
will be determined at each semi-monthly closing date to ensure that the sales price, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is equal to or greater than the net asset value of our shares. As a result, in the event of an increase
in our net asset value per share, a stockholders purchase price may be higher than the prior semi-monthly closing price per share, and therefore stockholders may receive a smaller number of shares than if the investor had subscribed at the
prior semi-monthly closing price.

We are a relatively new company and have a limited operating history.

We were formed on July 13, 2011 and commenced operations on June 18, 2012 after satisfying the minimum offering requirement of
selling, in aggregate, $2.5 million in common stock to persons not affiliated with us or FSIC II Advisor. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that we will not achieve our
investment objectives and that the value of our common stock could decline substantially.

As a new company with relatively few
investments, our continuous public offering may be deemed to be a blind pool offering. An investor may not have the opportunity to evaluate historical data or assess investments prior to purchasing our shares.

Other than those investments currently reflected in our portfolio, none of us, FSIC II Advisor or GDFM has generally identified, made or
contracted to make investments on our behalf with the proceeds from our continuous public offering. As a result, an investor will not be able to evaluate the economic merits, transaction terms or other financial or operational data concerning future
investments we make using the proceeds from our continuous public offering prior to making a decision to purchase our shares. An investor must rely on FSIC II Advisor and GDFM to implement our investment policies, to evaluate our investment
opportunities and to structure the terms of our investments rather than evaluating our investments in advance of purchasing shares of our common stock. Because investors are not able to evaluate all of our investments in advance of purchasing our
shares, our public offering may entail more risk than other types of offerings. This additional risk may hinder an investors ability to achieve their own personal investment objectives related to portfolio diversification, risk-adjusted
investment returns and other objectives.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our ongoing, continuous best
efforts public offering, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make, and the value of an investment in us may be reduced in the event our assets under-perform.

Our continuous offering is being made on a best efforts basis, whereby the dealer manager and broker-dealers participating in the offering
are only required to use their best efforts to sell our shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. To the extent that less than the maximum number of shares is subscribed for, the opportunity for the allocation
of our investments among various issuers and industries may be decreased, and the returns achieved on those investments may be reduced as a result of allocating all of our expenses over a smaller capital base.

##### Table of Contents

Our shares are not listed on an exchange or quoted through a quotation system, and will not be for the
foreseeable future, if ever. Therefore, if stockholders purchase shares in this offering, it is unlikely that stockholders will be able to sell them and, if stockholders are able to do so, it is unlikely that they will receive a full return of their
invested capital.

Our shares are illiquid assets for which there is not a secondary market and it is not expected that
any will develop in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will complete a liquidity event. A liquidity event could include: (1) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, (2) the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation or (3) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders likely will receive cash or
shares of a publicly-traded company.

In addition, any shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program may be
purchased at a price which may reflect a discount from the purchase price a stockholder paid for the shares being repurchased. See Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
SecuritiesShare Repurchase Program for a detailed description of our share repurchase program.

If our shares are
listed, we cannot assure stockholders that a public trading market will develop. In addition, a liquidity event involving a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange may include certain restrictions on the ability of stockholders to
sell their shares. Further, even if we do complete a liquidity event, stockholders may not receive a return of all of their invested capital.

We are not obligated to complete a liquidity event by a specified date; therefore, it will be difficult for an investor to sell his or her shares.

A liquidity event could include (1) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, (2) the sale
of all or substantially all of our assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation or (3) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders likely will receive
cash or shares of a publicly-traded company. However, there can be no assurance that we will complete a liquidity event by a specified date or at all. If we do not successfully complete a liquidity event, liquidity for an investors shares will
be limited to our share repurchase program, which we have no obligation to maintain.

The dealer manager in our continuous offering may
be unable to sell a sufficient number of shares for us to achieve our investment objectives.

The
dealer manager for our continuous public offering is FS2Capital Partners, LLC, or our dealer manager. There is no assurance that it will be able to sell a sufficient number of shares to allow us to have adequate funds to purchase a portfolio of investments allocated among various issuers and industries
and generate income sufficient to cover our expenses. As a result, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives and stockholders could lose some or all of the value of their investment.

Because the dealer manager is one of our affiliates, stockholders will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review of us, which is
customarily performed in firm commitment underwritten offerings; the absence of an independent due diligence review increases the risks and uncertainty faced as a stockholder.

The dealer manager is one of our affiliates. As a result, its due diligence review and investigation of us cannot be considered to be an
independent review. Therefore, stockholders do not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of our offering of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a firm commitment underwritten public
securities offering.

Our ability to successfully conduct our continuous offering depends, in part, on the ability of the
dealer manager to establish, operate and maintain a network of broker-dealers.

The success of our continuous public
offering, and correspondingly our ability to implement our business strategy, depends upon the ability of the dealer manager to establish, operate and maintain a network of licensed securities broker-dealers and other agents to sell our shares. If
the dealer manager fails to perform, we may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through our continuous public offering to implement our investment strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, stockholders could lose
all or a part of their investment.

Only a limited number of shares may be repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program and, to
the extent stockholders are able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program, stockholders may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in those shares.

Our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit stockholders ability to sell their shares. We intend to limit
the number of shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program as follows: (1) we currently intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares we can repurchase with the proceeds
we receive from the sale of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, although at the discretion of our board of directors, we may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of
securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares; (2) we intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar quarter to 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior
calendar year, or 10% in each calendar year (though the actual number of shares that we offer to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above); (3) unless stockholders tender all of their shares, stockholders must tender at
least 25% of the number of shares they have purchased and generally must maintain a minimum balance of $5,000 subsequent to submitting a portion of their shares for repurchase by us; and (4) to the extent that the number of shares tendered for
repurchase exceeds the number of shares that we are able to purchase, we will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Further, we will have no obligation to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate
the restrictions on distributions under federal law or Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. Any of the foregoing limitations may prevent us from accommodating all
repurchase requests made in any year. For example, our affiliate, FS Investment Corporation, commenced a share repurchase program in March 2010 with substantially similar terms as our share repurchase program. Because FS Investment Corporation had
relatively few shares outstanding during the first year of its operations, the limitation described in clause (2) above resulted in fewer than all of the tendered shares being repurchased in two tender offers conducted by FS Investment
Corporation in 2010.

In addition, our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30
days notice. We will notify stockholders of such developments (1) in our quarterly reports or (2) by means of a separate mailing to stockholders, accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Exchange Act. In
addition, although we have adopted a share repurchase program, we have discretion to not repurchase shares, to suspend the share repurchase program and to cease repurchases. Further, the share repurchase program has many limitations and should not
be relied upon as a method to sell shares promptly or at a desired price.

The timing of our repurchase offers pursuant to our share
repurchase program may be at a time that is disadvantageous to our stockholders.

When we make quarterly repurchase
offers pursuant to our share repurchase program, we may offer to repurchase shares at a price that is lower than the price that investors paid for shares in our offering. As a result, to the extent investors have the ability to sell their shares to
us as part of our share repurchase program, the price at which an investor may sell shares, which we expect will be 90% of the offering price in effect on the date of repurchase, may be lower than what an investor paid in connection with the
purchase of shares in our offering.

In addition, in the event an investor chooses to participate in our share repurchase
program, the investor will be required to provide us with notice of intent to participate prior to knowing what the repurchase price will be on the repurchase date. Although an investor will have the ability to withdraw a repurchase request prior to
the repurchase date, to the extent an investor seeks to sell shares to us as part of our share repurchase program, the investor will be required to do so without knowledge of what the repurchase price of our shares will be on the repurchase date.

We may be unable to invest a significant portion of the net proceeds of our offering on acceptable terms in an acceptable timeframe.

Delays in investing the net proceeds of our offering may impair our performance. We cannot assure investors that we
will be able to identify any investments that meet our investment objectives or that any investment that we make will produce a positive return. We may be unable to invest the net proceeds of our offering on acceptable terms within the time period
that we anticipate or at all, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

In addition, even if we are
able to raise significant proceeds, we will not be permitted to use such proceeds to co-invest with certain entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor or GDFM in transactions originated by FSIC II Advisor or GDFM or their respective affiliates unless
we first obtain an exemptive order from the SEC or co-invest alongside FSIC II Advisor or GDFM or their respective affiliates in accordance with existing regulatory guidance and the allocation policies of FSIC II Advisor, GDFM and their respective
affiliates, as applicable. We are currently seeking exemptive relief from the SEC to engage in co-investment transactions with FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates, including FS Investment Corporation and FS Energy and Power Fund. However, there can
be no assurance that we will obtain such exemptive relief. In addition, because we are not seeking exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, we will continue to be permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its
affiliates only in accordance with existing regulatory guidance.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we
will invest the net proceeds of our continuous public offering 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, which
may produce returns that are significantly lower than the returns which we expect to achieve when our portfolio is fully invested in securities meeting our investment objectives. As a result, any distributions that we pay while our portfolio is not
fully invested in securities meeting our investment objectives may be lower than the distributions that we may be able to pay when our portfolio is fully invested in securities meeting our investment objectives.

We may pay distributions from offering proceeds, borrowings or the sale of assets to the extent our cash flows from operations, net investment
income or earnings are not sufficient to fund declared distributions.

We may fund distributions from the uninvested
proceeds of our continuous public offering and borrowings, and we have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from net offering proceeds or borrowings to make any such distributions. We have paid and may continue to pay
distributions from the sale of assets to the extent distributions exceed our earnings or cash flows from operations. Distributions from the proceeds of our continuous public offering or from borrowings could reduce the amount of capital we
ultimately invest in our portfolio companies.

A stockholders interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which
could reduce the overall value of an investment in us.

Our investors do not have preemptive rights to any shares we
issue in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue 450,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to our charter, a majority of our entire board of directors may amend our charter to increase the number of authorized shares of stock without
stockholder approval. After an investor purchases shares, our board of directors may elect to sell additional shares in the future, issue equity interests in private offerings or issue share-based awards to our independent directors or employees of

Advisor. To the extent we issue additional equity interests after an investor purchases our shares, an investors percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending
upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our investments, an investor may also experience dilution in the book value and fair value of his or her shares.

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the value of our common
stock.

The Maryland General Corporation Law, or the MGCL, and our charter and bylaws contain certain provisions that
may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or making difficult a change in control of our company or the removal of our incumbent directors. We will be covered by the Business Combination Act of the MGCL, pursuant to which certain business
combinations between us and an interested stockholder (defined generally to include any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares) or an affiliate thereof is prohibited for five years and
thereafter is subject to special stockholder voting requirements, to the extent that such statute is not superseded by applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. However, our board of directors has adopted a resolution exempting from the Business
Combination Act any business combination between us and any person to the extent that such business combination receives the prior approval of our board of directors, including a majority of our directors who are not interested persons as defined in
the 1940 Act. Under the Control Share Acquisition Act of the MGCL, control shares acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be
cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of
shares of our common stock. The Business Combination Act (if our board should repeal the resolution) and the Control Share Acquisition Act (if we amend our bylaws to be subject to that Act) may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us
and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

In addition, at any time that we have a class of equity securities
registered under the Exchange Act and we have at least three independent directors, certain provisions of the MGCL permit our board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to
implement certain takeover defenses, including adopting a classified board or increasing the vote required to remove a director.

Moreover, our board of directors may, without stockholder action, authorize the issuance of shares of stock in one or more classes or series, including preferred stock; and our board of directors may,
without stockholder action, amend our charter to increase the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

These provisions may inhibit a change of control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the value of our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business and Structure

Our board of directors may change our operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.

Our board of directors has the authority to modify or waive our current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies without
prior notice and without stockholder approval. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies would have on our business, net asset value, operating results and the value of our stock.
However, the effects might be adverse, which could negatively impact our ability to pay stockholders distributions and cause them to lose all or part of their investment. Moreover, we will have significant flexibility in investing the net proceeds
of our public offering of common stock and may use the net proceeds from such offering in ways with which investors may not agree or for purposes other than those contemplated in the prospectus relating to our continuous public offering. Finally,
since our shares are not expected to be listed on a national securities exchange, stockholders will be limited in their ability to sell their shares in response to any changes in our investment policy, operating policies, investment criteria or
strategies.

Price declines in the large corporate leveraged loan market may adversely affect the fair value of our
syndicated loan portfolio, reducing our net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.

Prior to the
onset of the financial crisis, collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, a type of leveraged investment vehicle holding corporate loans, hedge funds and other highly leveraged investment vehicles comprised a substantial portion of the market for
purchasing and holding first and second lien secured loans. As the secondary market pricing of the loans underlying these portfolios deteriorated during the fourth quarter of 2008, it is our understanding that many investors, as a result of their
generally high degrees of leverage, were forced to raise cash by selling their interests in performing loans in order to satisfy margin requirements or the equivalent of margin requirements imposed by their lenders. This resulted in a forced
deleveraging cycle of price declines, compulsory sales and further price declines, with widespread redemption requests and other constraints resulting from the credit crisis generating further selling pressure. This pervasive forced selling and the
resultant price declines eliminated or significantly impaired many of our leveraged competitors for investment opportunities, especially those having built their investment portfolios prior to the financial crisis.

Conditions in the large corporate leveraged loan market may deteriorate again, which may cause pricing levels to decline. As a result, we
may suffer unrealized depreciation and could incur realized losses in connection with the sale of our syndicated loans, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic activity in the United States was adversely impacted by the global financial crisis of 2008 and has yet to fully recover.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, global credit and other financial markets suffered substantial stress,
volatility, illiquidity and disruption. These forces reached extraordinary levels in late 2008, resulting in the bankruptcy of, the acquisition of, or government intervention in the affairs of several major domestic and international financial
institutions. In particular, the financial services sector was negatively impacted by significant write-offs as the value of the assets held by financial firms declined, impairing their capital positions and abilities to lend and invest. We believe
that such value declines were exacerbated by widespread forced liquidations as leveraged holders of financial assets, faced with declining prices, were compelled to sell to meet margin requirements and maintain compliance with applicable capital
standards. Such forced liquidations also impaired or eliminated many investors and investment vehicles, leading to a decline in the supply of capital for investment and depressed pricing levels for many assets. These events significantly diminished
overall confidence in the debt and equity markets, engendered unprecedented declines in the values of certain assets and caused extreme economic uncertainty.

Economic activity remains subdued as unemployment rates remain high. Despite this, corporate interest rate risk premiums, otherwise known as credit spreads, have declined significantly. However,
deterioration of economic and market conditions in the future could negatively impact credit spreads as well as our ability to obtain financing, particularly from the debt markets.

The downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and the economic crisis in Europe could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In August 2011, Standard & Poors Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. from
AAA to AA+. In June 2012, Standard & Poors Ratings Services affirmed this AA+ rating, but maintained a negative outlook on the long-term rating for the U.S., reflecting the view of
Standard & Poors Ratings Services that this rating could be lowered by 2014 as a result of the U.S. sovereign credit risks. In January 2012, Standard & Poors Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit
rating for France, Italy, Spain and six other European countries, which has negatively impacted global markets and economic conditions. In addition, in April 2012, Standard & Poors Ratings Services further lowered its long-term
sovereign credit rating for Spain. Recent U.S. budget deficit concerns, together with signs of deteriorating sovereign debt conditions in Europe, have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic

##### Table of Contents

slowdowns. The impact of the August 2011 downgrade or any further downgrade to the U.S. governments sovereign credit rating, or its perceived creditworthiness, and the impact of the current
crisis in Europe with respect to the ability of certain European Union countries to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations is inherently unpredictable and could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic
conditions. In addition, the economic downturn and the significant government interventions into the financial markets and fiscal stimulus spending over the last several years have contributed to significantly increased U.S. budget deficits. There
can be no assurance that future fiscal or monetary measures to aid economic recovery will be effective. These developments and reactions of the credit markets toward these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which
may negatively impact our ability to obtain debt financing on favorable terms. In addition, any adverse economic conditions resulting from the August 2011 downgrade or any further downgrade of the U.S. governments sovereign credit rating or
the economic crisis in Europe could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our
ability to achieve our investment objectives depends on FSIC II Advisors and GDFMs ability to manage and support our investment process. If either FSIC II Advisor or GDFM were to lose any members of their respective senior management
teams, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be significantly harmed.

Since we have no employees, we
depend on the investment expertise, skill and network of business contacts of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM. FSIC II Advisor, with the assistance of GDFM, evaluates, negotiates, structures, executes, monitors and services our investments. Our future
success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of FSIC II Advisor and its senior management team. The departure of any members of FSIC II Advisors senior management team could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to achieve our investment objectives. Likewise, the departure of any key employees of GDFM may impact its ability to render services to us under the terms of its sub-advisory agreement with FSIC II Advisor.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives depends on FSIC II Advisors ability, with the assistance of GDFM, to identify,
analyze, invest in, finance and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. FSIC II Advisors capabilities in structuring the investment process, providing competent, attentive and efficient services to us, and facilitating access to
financing on acceptable terms depend on the employment of investment professionals in an adequate number and of adequate sophistication to match the corresponding flow of transactions. To achieve our investment objectives, FSIC II Advisor may need
to hire, train, supervise and manage new investment professionals to participate in our investment selection and monitoring process. FSIC II Advisor may not be able to find investment professionals in a timely manner or at all. Failure to support
our investment process could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, both the investment advisory and administrative services agreement and the sub-advisory agreement that FSIC II Advisor has
entered into with GDFM have termination provisions that allow the parties to terminate the agreements without penalty. The investment advisory and administrative services agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by FSIC II Advisor,
upon 120 days notice to us. The sub-advisory agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days written notice by GDFM or, if our board of directors or the holders of a majority of our outstanding
voting securities determine that the sub-advisory agreement with GDFM should be terminated, by FSIC II Advisor. If either agreement is terminated, it may adversely affect the quality of our investment opportunities. In addition, in the event such
agreements are terminated, it may be difficult for us to replace FSIC II Advisor or for FSIC II Advisor to replace GDFM. Furthermore, the termination of either of these agreements may adversely impact the terms of any financing facility into which
we may enter, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Because our business model depends to a significant extent upon relationships with private equity
sponsors, investment banks and commercial banks, the inability of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.

If FSIC II Advisor or GDFM fails to maintain its existing relationships with private equity sponsors, investment banks
and commercial banks, on which they rely to provide us with potential investment opportunities, or develop new relationships with other sponsors or sources of investment opportunities, we may not be able to grow our investment portfolio. In
addition, individuals with whom FSIC II Advisor and GDFM have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate investment opportunities for us.

We may face increasing competition for investment opportunities, which could delay deployment of our capital, reduce returns and result
in losses.

We compete for investments with other BDCs and investment funds (including private equity funds, mezzanine
funds and CLO funds), as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Moreover, alternative investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, have begun to invest in areas in which they have not
traditionally invested, including making investments in mid-sized private U.S. companies. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities in middle market private U.S. companies may intensify. Many of our competitors are
substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some
of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we have. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and offer better pricing and
more flexible structuring than we are able to do. We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors pricing, terms and structure. If we are forced to match our competitors pricing, terms and structure, we may not be
able to achieve acceptable returns on our investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. A significant part of our competitive advantage stems from the fact that the market for investments in middle market private U.S. companies is
underserved by traditional commercial banks and other financial sources. A significant increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in this target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms. Furthermore, many of
our competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC.

A significant portion of our investment portfolio is and will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors and, as a result, there is and will be uncertainty as to
the value of our portfolio investments.

Under the 1940 Act, we are required to carry our portfolio investments at
market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by our board of directors. There is not a public market for the securities of the privately-held companies in which we invest. Many of our investments are
not publicly-traded or actively-traded on a secondary market but are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. As a result, we value these securities quarterly at fair value as
determined in good faith by our board of directors.

Certain factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of
our investments include dealer quotes for securities traded on the secondary market for institutional investors, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys earnings and its ability to make payments on its
indebtedness, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to comparable publicly-traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities
and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a



35



---

##### Table of Contents

ready market for these non-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, our fair value determinations may cause our net asset value on a given date to materially understate or overstate
the value that we may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of our investments.

There is a risk that investors in our common
stock may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time.

We cannot assure stockholders
that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on
our earnings, our net investment income, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. In addition, due to the
asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. See Item 1. BusinessRegulationSenior Securities.

Our distribution proceeds may exceed our earnings, particularly during the period before we have substantially invested the net proceeds from our continuous public offering. Therefore, portions of
the distributions that we make may represent a return of capital to stockholders for tax purposes, which will lower their tax basis in their shares.

In the event that we encounter delays in locating suitable investment opportunities, we may pay all or a substantial portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our continuous public offering or
from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow, which may constitute a return of stockholders capital and will lower such stockholders tax basis in their shares. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder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 the offering, including any fees payable to FSIC II Advisor.

If we internalize our management functions, a stockholders interest in us could be diluted, and we could incur other significant costs
associated with being self-managed.

Our board of directors may decide in the future to internalize our management
functions. If we do so, we may elect to negotiate to acquire FSIC II Advisors assets and personnel. At this time, we cannot anticipate the form or amount of consideration or other terms relating to any such acquisition. Such consideration
could take many forms, including cash payments, promissory notes and shares of our common stock. The payment of such consideration could result in dilution of a stockholders interest in us and could reduce the earnings per share attributable
to their investment.

In addition, while we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we expect to pay
to FSIC II Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, we would incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that are being paid by FSIC II Advisor or its affiliates.
In addition, we may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants. These awards would decrease net income and may further dilute an investment in us. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount of fees we would save or the costs we would
incur if we became self-managed. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to FSIC II Advisor, our earnings per share would be lower as a result of the internalization than it otherwise
would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to our stockholders and the value of our shares. As we are currently organized, we do not have any employees. If we elect to internalize our operations, we would
employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims and other employee-related liabilities and grievances.

If we internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions as a standalone entity. Currently,
individuals employed by FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates perform asset management and general and administrative functions, including accounting and financial reporting, for multiple



36



---

##### Table of Contents

entities. These personnel have a great deal of know-how and experience. We may fail to properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a standalone entity. An
inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and/or suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. Such
deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our managements attention could be diverted from effectively managing our investments.

Internalization transactions have also, in some cases, been the subject of litigation. Even if these claims are without merit, we could be forced to spend significant amounts of money defending such
claims, which would reduce the amount of funds we have available for investment in targeted assets.

Changes in laws or regulations
governing our operations or the operations of our business partners may adversely affect our business or cause us to alter our business strategy.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to regulation at the local, state and federal level. New legislation may be enacted or new interpretations, rulings or regulations could be adopted, including
those governing the types of investments we are permitted to make, any of which could harm us and our stockholders, potentially with retroactive effect. Changes in laws or regulations governing the operations of those with whom we do business,
including selected broker-dealers selling our shares, could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, any changes to the laws and regulations governing our operations relating to permitted investments may cause us to alter our investment strategy to avail ourselves of new or different
opportunities. Such changes could result in material differences to our strategies and plans as set forth in this annual report on Form 10-K and may result in our investment focus shifting from the areas of expertise of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM to
other types of investments in which FSIC II Advisor and GDFM may have less expertise or little or no experience. Thus, any such changes, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of a
stockholders investment.

As a public company, we are subject to regulations not applicable to private companies, such as
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Efforts to comply with such regulations will involve significant expenditures, and non-compliance with such regulations may adversely affect us.

As a public company, we are subject to regulations not applicable to private companies, including provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and
the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, our management will be required to report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. We will be required to review on an annual basis our internal control over financial reporting, and on a quarterly and annual basis, to evaluate and disclose changes in our internal
control over financial reporting. As a newly-formed company, developing an effective system of internal controls may require significant expenditures, which may negatively impact our financial performance and our ability to make distributions. This
process will also result in a diversion of managements time and attention. We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations, and we may not
be able to ensure that the process is effective or that our internal control over financial reporting is or will be effective in a timely manner. In the event that we are unable to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls and
maintain or achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules, we may be adversely affected.

The impact of recent
financial reform legislation on us is uncertain.

In light of recent conditions in the U.S. and global financial
markets and the U.S. and global economy, legislators, the presidential administration and regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act,



37

or the Dodd-Frank Act, institutes a wide range of reforms that will have an impact on all financial institutions. Many of the requirements called for in the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented
over time, most of which will be subject to implementing regulations over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory
agencies and through regulations, the full impact such requirements will have on our business, results of operations or financial condition is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may require us to invest significant management
attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes in order to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any such laws, regulations or principles, or changes thereto, may negatively impact our
business, results of operations and financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, these changes could be materially
adverse to us and our stockholders.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including our ability or inability to make
investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities we acquire, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the
degree to which we encounter competition in our 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.

Risks Related to FSIC II Advisor and Its Affiliates

FSIC II Advisor has limited prior experience managing a BDC or a RIC.

While FSIC II Advisors management team consists of the same personnel that form the investment and operations team of FB Income
Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to FS Investment Corporation, and FS Investment Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to FS Energy and Power Fund, FSIC II Advisor has limited prior experience managing a BDC or a RIC. Therefore, FSIC II Advisor
may not be able to successfully operate our business or achieve our investment objectives. As a result, an investment in our shares of common stock may entail more risk than the shares of common stock of a comparable company with a substantial
operating history.

The 1940 Act and the Code impose numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs and RICs that do not apply
to the other types of investment vehicles. For example, under the 1940 Act, BDCs are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of qualifying U.S. private or thinly-traded public companies. Moreover, qualification
for RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code requires satisfaction of source-of-income, diversification and other requirements. The failure to comply with these provisions in a timely manner could prevent us from qualifying as a BDC or a RIC
or could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties, which could be material. FSIC II Advisors limited experience in managing a portfolio of assets under such constraints may hinder its ability to take advantage of attractive investment
opportunities and, as a result, achieve our investment objectives.

FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates, including our officers and some
of our directors, face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us and our affiliates, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.

FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates receive substantial fees from us in return for their services, and these fees could influence the
advice provided to us. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to public offerings of equity by us, which allow the dealer manager to earn additional dealer manager fees and FSIC II Advisor to earn
increased asset management fees. In addition, the decision to utilize leverage has increased our assets and, as a result, has increased the amount of management fees payable to FSIC II Advisor.

We may be obligated to pay FSIC II Advisor incentive compensation even if we incur a net loss due to a
decline in the value of our portfolio.

Our investment advisory and administrative services agreement entitles FSIC II
Advisor to receive incentive compensation on income regardless of any capital losses. In such case, we may be required to pay FSIC II Advisor incentive compensation for a fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of our portfolio or if
we incur a net loss for that quarter.

Any incentive fee payable by us that relates to our net investment income may be
computed and paid on income that may include interest that has been accrued but not yet received. If a portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously included in
the calculation of the incentive fee will become uncollectible. FSIC II Advisor is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued income that we never received as a result of a
default by an entity on the obligation that resulted in the accrual of such income, and such circumstances would result in our paying an incentive fee on income we never received.

There may be conflicts of interest related to obligations FSIC II Advisors and GDFMs senior management and investment teams have to our affiliates and to other clients.

The members of the senior management and investment teams of both FSIC II Advisor and GDFM serve or may serve as
officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do, or of investment funds managed by the same personnel. For example, the officers, managers and other personnel of FSIC II Advisor also
serve in similar capacities for FB Income Advisor, LLC and FS Investment Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers for FS Investment Corporation and FS Energy and Power Fund, respectively. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have
obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in our best interests or in the best interest of our stockholders. Our investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such
investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For example, we rely on FSIC II Advisor to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. FSIC II Advisor and certain of its affiliates are presently, and plan in
the future to continue to be, involved with activities which are unrelated to us. As a result of these activities, FSIC II Advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and
other activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of FB Income Advisor, LLC, FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Advisor, LLC and FS Energy and Power Fund, FSIC II Advisor and its employees will devote only as
much of its or their time to our business as FSIC II Advisor and its employees, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time.

Furthermore, GDFM, on which FSIC II Advisor relies to assist it in identifying investment opportunities and making investment
recommendations, has similar conflicts of interest. GDFM also serves as investment sub-adviser to FS Investment Corporation pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement between it and FB Income Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to FS
Investment Corporation, and its affiliate, GSO, serves as investment sub-adviser to FS Energy and Power Fund pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement between it and FS Investment Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to FS Energy and Power
Fund. GDFM, its affiliates and their respective members, partners, officers and employees will devote as much of their time to our activities as they deem necessary and appropriate. GDFM and its affiliates are not restricted from forming additional
investment funds, from entering into other investment advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities, even though such activities may be in competition with us and/or may involve substantial time and resources of GDFM. Also, in
connection with such business activities, GDFM and its affiliates may have existing business relationships or access to material, non-public information that may prevent it from recommending investment opportunities that would otherwise fit within
our investment objectives. All of these factors could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest in that the time, effort and ability of the members of GDFM, its affiliates and their officers and employees will not be devoted exclusively to our
business but will be allocated between us and the management of the monies of other advisees of GDFM and its affiliates. For example, GSO, an affiliate of GDFM, serves as investment sub-adviser to FS Energy and Power Fund.

The time and resources that individuals employed by FSIC II Advisor and GDFM devote to us may be
diverted, and we may face additional competition due to the fact that individuals employed by FSIC II Advisor and GDFM are not prohibited from raising money for or managing another entity that makes the same types of investments that we target.

Neither FSIC II Advisor nor GDFM, or individuals employed by FSIC II Advisor or GDFM, are prohibited from raising
money for and managing another investment entity that makes the same types of investments as those we target. As a result, the time and resources that these individuals may devote to us may be diverted. In addition, we may compete with any such
investment entity for the same investors and investment opportunities. If we are able to obtain exemptive relief from the SEC, we also intend to co-invest with FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates. There is no assurance that we will obtain such
relief. In the event the SEC does not grant us relief, we could be limited in our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies in which our affiliates, including FB Income Advisor, LLC, FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Advisor, LLC and
FS Energy and Power Fund, are investing or are invested. Because we are not seeking exemptive relief to engage in co-investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, even if we are able to receive exemptive relief, we will be unable to
participate in certain transactions originated by GDFM, GSO or any of their affiliates, unless otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Affiliates of GDFM, whose primary businesses include the
origination of investments, engage in investment advisory business with accounts that compete with us. Affiliates of GDFM have no obligation to make their originated investment opportunities available to GDFM or to us.

Our incentive fee may induce FSIC II Advisor to make, and GDFM to recommend, speculative investments.

The incentive fee payable by us to FSIC II Advisor may create an incentive for it to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more
speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which the incentive fee payable to FSIC II Advisor is determined may encourage it to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. In addition,
the fact that our base management fee is payable based upon our gross assets, which would include any borrowings for investment purposes, may encourage FSIC II Advisor to use leverage to make additional investments. Under certain circumstances, the
use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor holders of our common stock. Such a practice could result in our investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be in our best interests, which could result
in higher investment losses, particularly during cyclical economic downturns. In addition, since GDFM will receive a portion of the advisory fees paid to FSIC II Advisor, GDFM may have an incentive to recommend investments that are riskier or more
speculative.

Risks Related to Business Development Companies

The requirement that we invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets could preclude us from investing in accordance with our current business strategy; conversely, the failure to
invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets could result in our failure to maintain our status as a BDC.

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets unless, at the time of such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets. Therefore, we may be
precluded from investing in what we believe are attractive investments if such investments are not qualifying assets. Conversely, if we fail to invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could lose our status as a BDC, which
would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making additional investments in existing portfolio companies, which could result in the dilution of
our position, or could require us to dispose of investments at an inopportune time to comply with the 1940 Act. If we were forced to sell non-qualifying investments in the portfolio for compliance purposes, the proceeds from such sale could be
significantly less than the current value of such investments.

##### Table of Contents

Failure to maintain our status as a BDC would reduce our operating flexibility.

If we do not remain a BDC, we might be regulated as a closed-end investment company under the 1940 Act, which would subject us to
substantially more regulatory restrictions under the 1940 Act and correspondingly decrease our operating flexibility.

Regulations
governing our operation as a BDC and RIC will affect our ability to raise, and the way in which we raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on our growth.

As a result of the annual distribution requirement to qualify as a RIC, we may need to periodically access the capital markets to raise
cash to fund new investments. We may issue senior securities, as defined in the 1940 Act, including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act,
equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. Our ability to issue different types of securities is also limited. Compliance with these requirements may unfavorably limit our investment opportunities and reduce our ability in comparison to
other companies to profit from favorable spreads between the rates at which we can borrow and the rates at which we can lend. As a BDC, therefore, we intend to issue equity continuously at a rate more frequent than our privately owned competitors,
which may lead to greater stockholder dilution.

We expect to borrow for investment purposes. If the value of our assets
declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test, which would prohibit us from paying distributions and could prevent us from qualifying as a RIC. If we cannot satisfy the asset coverage test, we may be required to sell a portion of our
investments and, depending on the nature of our debt financing, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.

Under the 1940 Act, we generally are prohibited from issuing or selling our common stock at a price per share, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is below our net asset
value per share, which may be a disadvantage as compared with other public companies. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the current net asset value of the common
stock if our board of directors and independent directors determine that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders as well as those stockholders that are not affiliated with us approve such
sale.

Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.

We are prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of our affiliates without the prior approval
of a majority of the independent members of our board of directors and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of our outstanding voting securities will be our affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and we
will generally be prohibited from buying or selling any securities from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our board of directors. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain joint transactions with certain of our affiliates,
which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of our board of directors and, in some cases, the SEC. If a person acquires more than 25% of our voting securities, we
will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such person or certain of that persons affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the SEC. Similar restrictions
limit our ability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates. As a result of these restrictions, we may be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed
by FSIC II Advisor without the prior approval of the SEC, which may limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us.

We are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs; if we cannot obtain debt or
equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire investments and to expand our operations will be adversely affected.

The net proceeds from the sale of shares will be used for our investment opportunities, operating expenses and for payment of various fees and expenses such as base management fees, incentive fees and
other fees. Any working capital reserves we maintain may not be sufficient for investment purposes, and we may require debt or equity financing to operate. Accordingly, in the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future for
investments or for any other reason, these sources of funding may not be available to us. Consequently, if we cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire investments and to expand our operations will be
adversely affected. As a result, we would be less able to allocate our portfolio among various issuers and industries and achieve our investment objectives, which may negatively impact our results of operations and reduce our ability to make
distributions to our stockholders.

Risks Related to Our Investments

Our investments in prospective portfolio companies may be risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment.

Our investments in senior secured loans, second lien secured loans, subordinated debt and equity of private U.S. companies, including middle market companies, may be risky and there is no limit on the
amount of any such investments in which we may invest.

Senior secured loans and second lien secured loans.There is a
risk that any collateral pledged by portfolio companies in which we have taken a security interest may decrease in value over time or lose its entire value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate
in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. To the extent our debt investment is collateralized by the securities of a portfolio
companys subsidiaries, such securities may lose some or all of their value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the portfolio company. Also, in some circumstances, our security interest may be contractually or structurally
subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio companys financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the
collateral for the loan. Loans that are under-collateralized involve a greater risk of loss. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loans terms, or
at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies.

Subordinated debt.
Our subordinated debt investments will generally rank junior in priority of payment to senior loans and will generally be unsecured. This may result in a heightened level of risk and volatility or a loss of principal, which could lead to the loss of
the entire investment. These investments may involve additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns. To the extent interest payments associated with such debt are deferred, such debt may be subject to greater fluctuations in
valuations, and such debt could subject us and our stockholders to non-cash income. Since we will not receive any principal repayments prior to the maturity of some of our subordinated debt investments, such investments will be of greater risk than
amortizing loans.

Equity investments. We expect to make select equity investments. In addition, when we invest in
senior secured and second lien secured loans or subordinated debt, we may acquire warrants to purchase equity securities. The equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able
to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

Non-U.S. securities. We may invest in non-U.S. securities, which may include securities denominated in U.S. dollars or in non-U.S.
currencies, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Because evidences of ownership of such securities usually are held outside the United States, we would be subject to additional risks if we



42

##### Table of Contents

invested in non-U.S. securities, which include possible adverse political and economic developments, seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits and adoption of governmental restrictions which
might adversely affect or restrict the payment of principal and interest on the non-U.S. securities to investors located outside the country of the issuer, whether from currency blockage or otherwise. Since non-U.S. securities may be purchased with
and payable in foreign currencies, the value of these assets as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations.

In addition, we invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment
grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as junk, have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuers capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may
also be difficult to value and illiquid.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments
in such companies.

Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with,
or senior to, the debt in which we invest. By their terms, such debt instruments may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt
instruments in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically
be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any proceeds. After repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equally with
debt instruments in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio
company.

There may be circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be
subject to lender liability claims.

If one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and
circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors.
In situations where a bankruptcy carries a high degree of political significance, our legal rights may be subordinated to other creditors. We may also be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by us with respect to a borrowers
business or in instances where we exercise control over the borrower or render significant managerial assistance.

We generally will not
control our portfolio companies.

We do not expect to control most of our portfolio companies, even though we may have
board representation or board observation rights, and our debt agreements with such portfolio companies may contain certain restrictive covenants. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company in which we invest may make business
decisions with which we disagree and the management of such company, as representatives of the holders of their common equity, may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests as debt investors. Due to the lack of liquidity
for our investments in non-traded companies, we may not be able to dispose of our interests in our portfolio companies as readily as we would like or at an appropriate valuation. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could
decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial
negative impact on our investments and investment opportunities and, accordingly, have a material adverse effect on our investment objectives and our rate of return on invested capital. In addition, an increase in interest rates would make it more
expensive to use debt for our financing needs, if any.

We may enter into total return swap agreements or other derivative transactions which expose us to
certain risks, including market risk, liquidity risk and other risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.

Del River has entered into a TRS for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsFinancial Condition, Liquidity and Capital ResourcesTotal Return Swap for a more detailed discussion of the terms of the TRS between Del River and Citibank.

A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the
assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS effectively adds leverage to
a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs
than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The TRS with Citibank enables us, through our ownership of
Del River, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Del River borrowing funds to acquire loans and
incurring interest expense to a lender.

The TRS is subject to market risk, liquidity risk and risk of imperfect correlation
between the value of the TRS and the loans underlying the TRS. In addition, we may incur certain costs in connection with the TRS that could in the aggregate be significant.

A TRS is also subject to the risk that a counterparty will default on its payment obligations thereunder or that we will not be able to meet our obligations to the counterparty. In the case of the TRS
with Citibank, Del River is required to post cash collateral amounts to secure its obligations to Citibank under the TRS. Citibank, however, is not required to collateralize any of its obligations to Del River under the TRS. Del River bears the risk
of depreciation with respect to the value of the loans underlying the TRS and is required under the terms of the TRS to post additional collateral on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after
such value decreases below a specified amount. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Del River is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

The limit on the additional collateral that Del River may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the
full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Del River (determined without consideration of the initial cash collateral posted for each loan included in the TRS). Del Rivers maximum
liability under the TRS is the amount of any decline in the aggregate value of the loans subject to the TRS, less the amount of the cash collateral previously posted by Del River. Therefore, the absolute risk of loss with respect to the TRS is the
notional amount of the TRS.

In addition to customary events of default and termination events, the TRS Agreement contains the
following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to post initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c) a default by Del River or
us with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10 million and 2% of our net asset value at such time; (d) a merger of Del River or us meeting certain criteria; (e) either us or Del River amending its
constituent documents to alter our investment strategy in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; (f) our ceasing to be the investment manager of Del River or having authority to enter into
transactions under the TRS on behalf of Del River, and not being replaced by an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank; (g) FSIC II Advisor ceasing to be our investment adviser or GDFM ceasing to be the sub-adviser to FSIC II Advisor;
(h) Del River failing to comply with its investment strategies or restrictions to the extent such non-compliance has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; (i) Del River becoming liable in respect of any
obligation for borrowed money, other than arising under

##### Table of Contents

the TRS Agreement; (j) we dissolve or liquidate; (k) there occurs, without the prior consent of Citibank, any material change to or departure from our policies or the policies of Del
River that may not be changed without the vote of our stockholders and that relates to Del Rivers performance of its obligations under the TRS Agreement; and (l) we violate certain provisions of the 1940 Act or our election to be
regulated as a BDC is revoked or withdrawn.

In addition to the rights of Citibank to terminate the TRS following an event of
default or termination event as described above, Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after July 2, 2013, the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Del River may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days,
and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under
the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Del River to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including July 2, 2013. Such monthly
payments will equal the product of (x) 85%, multiplied by (y) the aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($425 million), multiplied by (z) 1.25% per annum.

Upon any termination of the TRS, Del River will be required to pay Citibank the amount of any decline in the aggregate value of the loans subject to the TRS or, alternatively, will be entitled to receive
the amount of any appreciation in the aggregate value of such loans. In the event that Citibank chooses to exercise its termination rights, it is possible that Del River will owe more to Citibank or, alternatively, will be entitled to receive less
from Citibank than it would have if Del River controlled the timing of such termination due to the existence of adverse market conditions at the time of such termination.

In addition, because a TRS is a form of synthetic leverage, such arrangements are subject to risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage. See Risks Related to Debt
Financing below.

Second priority liens on collateral securing debt investments that we make to our portfolio companies may be
subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.

Certain debt investments that we make to portfolio companies may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing
first priority debt of such companies. The first priority liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio companys obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by
such company under the agreements governing the loans. The holders of obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of and be entitled to receive proceeds from any realization of the
collateral to repay their obligations in full before us. In addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that
the proceeds, if any, from the sale or sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the
collateral. If such proceeds are not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens, then we, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an
unsecured claim against such companys remaining assets, if any.

The rights we may have with respect to the collateral
securing the debt investments we make to our portfolio companies with senior debt outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that we enter into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an
intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the
obligations secured by the first priority liens: the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral; the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings; the approval of amendments to collateral documents;
releases of liens on the collateral; and waivers of past defaults under collateral documents. We may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if our rights are adversely affected.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

Many of our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our
debt investments during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of our portfolio is likely to decrease, during these periods. Adverse economic conditions may also decrease the value of any collateral
securing our first lien or second lien secured loans. A prolonged recession may further decrease the value of such collateral and result in losses of value in our portfolio and a decrease in our revenues, net income and net asset value. Unfavorable
economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us on terms we deem acceptable. These events could prevent us from increasing investments
and harm our operating results.

A covenant breach by our portfolio companies may harm our operating results.

A portfolio companys failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and,
potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize a portfolio companys ability to meet its obligations under the debt or equity securities that
we hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company.

Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating
results.

Investments in middle market companies involve some of the same risks that apply generally to investments in
larger, more established companies. However, such investments have more pronounced risks in that they:



| |  |  | may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by
a deterioration in the value of any collateral pledged under such securities and a reduction in the likelihood of us realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tends to render them more vulnerable
to competitors actions and changing market conditions, as well as general economic downturns;

We may not realize gains from our equity investments.

Certain investments that we may make may include warrants or other equity securities. In addition, we may make direct equity investments
in portfolio companies. The equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition
of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset

any other losses we experience. We also may be unable to realize any value if a portfolio company does not have a liquidity event, such as a sale of the business, recapitalization or public
offering, which would allow us to sell the underlying equity interests. We may be unable to exercise any put rights we acquire, which grant us the right to sell our equity securities back to the portfolio company, for the consideration provided in
our investment documents if the issuer is in financial distress.

An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies
presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies.

Our investments are
primarily in privately-held companies. Investments in private companies pose significantly greater risks than investments in public companies. First, private companies have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished capital
resources and the ability to withstand financial distress. As a result, these companies, which may present greater credit risk than public companies, may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold. Second, the
investments themselves often may be illiquid. The securities of many of the companies in which we invest are not publicly-traded or actively-traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary
market for institutional investors. In addition, such securities may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. As such, we may have difficulty exiting an investment promptly or at a desired price prior to maturity or outside of a normal
amortization schedule. These investments may also be difficult to value because little public information generally exists about private companies, requiring an experienced due diligence team to analyze and value the potential portfolio company.
Finally, these companies may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. We must therefore rely on the ability of FSIC II Advisor and/or GDFM to obtain adequate information through due diligence to evaluate the
creditworthiness and potential returns from investing in these companies. These companies and their financial information will generally not be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules and regulations that govern public companies. If we are
unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a fully informed investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments.

A lack of liquidity in certain of our investments may adversely affect our business.

We invest in certain companies whose securities are not publicly-traded or actively-traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for
institutional investors and whose securities are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly-traded securities. The illiquidity of certain of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell these
investments when desired. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded these investments. The reduced liquidity of our
investments may make it difficult for us to dispose of them at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

We may not
have the funds or ability to make additional investments in our portfolio companies.

We may not have the funds or
ability to make additional investments in our portfolio companies. After our initial investment in a portfolio company, we may be called upon from time to time to provide additional funds to such company or have the opportunity to increase our
investment through the exercise of a warrant to purchase common stock. There is no assurance that we will make, or will have sufficient funds to make, follow-on investments. Any decisions not to make a follow-on investment or any inability on our
part to make such an investment may have a negative impact on a portfolio company in need of such an investment, may result in a missed opportunity for us to increase our participation in a successful operation or may reduce the expected return on
the investment.

Risks Related to Debt Financing

We are subject to risks associated with our debt securitization facility.

On February 6, 2013, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, we entered into the February 2013 amendment to our debt financing arrangement with JPM, which was originally entered into on
October 26, 2012. The February 2013 amendment, among other things, (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $150.0 million to $300.0 million and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the
financing arrangement from November 20, 2016 to February 20, 2017. The financing transaction with JPM is structured as a debt securitization. We use the term debt securitization to describe a form of secured borrowing under
which an operating company, sometimes referred to as an originator, acquires or originates loans or other assets that earn income, whether on a one-time or recurring basis (collectively referred to herein as income producing assets), and
borrows money on a non-recourse basis against a legally separate pool of income producing assets. In a typical debt securitization, the originator transfers the income producing assets to a special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, also
referred to as a special purpose entity, which is established solely for the purpose of holding income producing assets and issuing debt secured by these income producing assets. The special purpose entity completes the borrowing through
the issuance of notes secured by the income producing assets.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, loans in our portfolio
having an aggregate market value of approximately $640.0 million ($316.5 million prior to the February 2013 amendment) may be sold by us from time to time to Lehigh River, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement. The
loans held by Lehigh River will secure the obligations of Lehigh River under the Class A Notes to be issued from time to time by Lehigh River to Cobbs Creek, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture. The Class A Notes may be issued
in an aggregate principal amount of up to $360.0 million ($180.0 million prior to the February 2013 amendment) and mature on February 20, 2024 (November 20, 2023 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Cobbs Creek will purchase the issued
Class A Notes from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

Cobbs Creek, in turn, has entered into a
repurchase transaction with JPM pursuant to the terms of the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A Notes held by Cobbs Creek for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately
83.33% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased under the JPM Facility is $360.0 million ($180.0 million prior to the February
2013 amendment). Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility will not exceed $300.0 million ($150.0 million prior to the February 2013 amendment).

In connection with the JPM Facility, we may sell from time to time loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of
approximately $180.0 million ($90.0 million prior to the February 2013 amendment) to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement. The loans purchased by Cobbs Creek from us will secure the obligations of Cobbs
Creek under the JPM Facility.

See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of OperationsFinancial Condition, Liquidity and Capital ResourcesJPM Financing for a more detailed discussion of the terms of this debt securitization facility.

As a result of this debt securitization facility, we are subject to certain risks, including those set forth below.

Our equity investment in Lehigh River is subordinated to the debt obligations of Lehigh River.

Under the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013, we had sold loans to Lehigh River for a
purchase price of approximately $202.3 million, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Lehigh River. Any dividends or other payments in respect of our equity

interest in Lehigh River are subordinated in priority of payment to the Class A Notes. In addition, Lehigh River is subject to certain payment restrictions set forth in the Amended and
Restated Indenture in respect of its equity interest.

We will receive cash distributions based on our investment in Lehigh
River only if Lehigh River has made all required cash interest payments on the Class A Notes. We cannot assure stockholders that distributions on the assets held by Lehigh River will be sufficient to make any distributions to us or that the
yield on our investment in Lehigh River will meet our expectations.

Our equity investment in Lehigh River is unsecured and
ranks behind all of the creditors, known or unknown, of Lehigh River, including the holders of the Class A Notes. Consequently, if the value of Lehigh Rivers portfolio of loan investments decreases as a result of conditions in the credit
markets, defaulted loans, capital gains and losses on the underlying assets or prepayment or changes in interest rates generally, the value of our equity investment in Lehigh River could be reduced. Accordingly, our investment in Lehigh River may
not produce a profit and may be subject to a loss in an amount up to the entire amount of such equity investment.

In
addition, if the value of Lehigh Rivers portfolio of loan investments decreases and Lehigh River is unable to make any required payments to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Class A Notes, Cobbs Creek may, in turn, be unable to
make any required payments to JPM pursuant to the terms of the JPM Facility. In such event, if the value of Cobbs Creeks portfolio of loan investments is not sufficient to meet Cobbs Creeks payment obligations to JPM, we may be required
to loan or otherwise provide additional funds to Cobbs Creek to cover Cobbs Creeks payment obligations to JPM, or otherwise be subject to a loss in an amount up to the entire amount of our equity investment in Cobbs Creek.

Our equity investment in Cobbs Creek is subordinated to the debt obligations of Cobbs Creek.

Under the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013, we had sold loans to Cobbs Creek for a
purchase price of approximately $35.7 million, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Cobbs Creek. Any dividends or other payments in respect of our equity interest in Cobbs Creek are subordinated in priority of payment
to Cobbs Creeks payment obligations under the JPM Facility. In addition, Cobbs Creek is subject to certain payment restrictions set forth in the JPM Facility in respect of its equity interest.

We will receive cash distributions based on our investment in Cobbs Creek only if Cobbs Creek has made all required payments under the
JPM Facility. We cannot assure stockholders that distributions on the assets held by Cobbs Creek, including the Class A Notes, will be sufficient to make any distributions to us or that the yield on our investment in Cobbs Creek will meet our
expectations.

Our equity investment in Cobbs Creek is unsecured and ranks behind all of the creditors, known or unknown, of
Cobbs Creek, including JPM. Consequently, if the value of Cobbs Creeks portfolio of loan investments decreases as a result of conditions in the credit markets, defaulted loans, capital gains and losses on the underlying assets or prepayment or
changes in interest rates generally, the value of our equity investment in Cobbs Creek could be reduced. Accordingly, our investment in Cobbs Creek may not produce a profit and may be subject to a loss in an amount up to the entire amount of such
equity investment.

In addition, if the value of Cobbs Creeks portfolio of loan investments decreases or Lehigh River
fails to make any required payments to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Class A Notes, Cobbs Creek may be unable to make any required payments to JPM pursuant to the terms of the JPM Facility. In such event, if the value of Cobbs
Creeks portfolio of loan investments is not sufficient to meet Cobbs Creeks payment obligations to JPM, we may be required to loan or otherwise provide additional funds to Cobbs Creek to cover Cobbs Creeks payment obligations to
JPM, or otherwise be subject to a loss in an amount up to the entire amount of our equity investment in Cobbs Creek.

Our equity investments in Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek have a high degree of leverage.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Class A Notes that may be issued is $360.0 million ($180.0 million
prior to the February 2013 amendment) and loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $640.0 million ($316.5 million prior to the February 2013 amendment) may be sold by us from time to time to Lehigh River. Similarly,
the maximum repurchase amount payable at any time by Cobbs Creek to JPM under the JPM Facility is $300.0 million ($150.0 million prior to the February 2013 amendment), plus applicable interest, and loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market
value of approximately $180.0 million ($90.0 million prior to the February 2013 amendment) may be sold by us from time to time to Cobbs Creek. The market value of our equity investments in Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek may be significantly affected
by a variety of factors, including changes in the market value of the investments held by Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek, changes in distributions on the investments held by Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek, defaults and recoveries on those investments,
capital gains and losses on those investments, prepayments on those investments and other risks associated with those investments. Our investments in Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek may not produce a profit and may be subject to a loss in an amount up
to the entire amount of such equity investment. The leveraged nature of our equity investment may magnify the adverse impact of any loss on our equity investment.

The interests of JPM, as the holder of the Class A Notes, may not be aligned with our interests, and we will not have control over remedies in respect of the Class A Notes.

The Class A Notes rank senior in right of payment to any equity securities issued by Lehigh River. As a result,
there are circumstances in which the interests of JPM, as the holder of the Class A Notes, may not be aligned with our interests. For example, under the terms of the Class A Notes, JPM has the right to receive payments of principal and
interest prior to Lehigh River making any distributions or dividends to holders of its equity securities.

For as long as the
Class A Notes remain outstanding, JPM has the right to act in certain circumstances with respect to the portfolio of loans that secure the obligations of Lehigh River under the Class A Notes in ways that may benefit their interests but not
ours, including by exercising remedies or directing the Amended and Restated Indenture trustee to declare events of default under or accelerate the Class A Notes in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Indenture. JPM has no
obligation to consider any possible adverse effect that actions taken may have on our equity interests. For example, upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the Class A Notes, the trustee, which is currently Citibank, may
declare the outstanding principal amount of all of the Class A Notes, together with any accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable. This would have the effect of accelerating the outstanding principal amount of the Class A
Notes and triggering a repayment obligation on the part of Lehigh River. Lehigh River may not have proceeds sufficient to make required payments on the Class A Notes and make any distributions to us. Any failure of Lehigh River to make
distributions on the equity interests we hold could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and may result in our inability to make distributions to our stockholders in amounts
sufficient to maintain our qualification as a RIC, or at all.

Lehigh River may fail to meet certain asset coverage and
quality tests, which would have an adverse effect on us.

Under the Amended and Restated Indenture, there are coverage
tests and quality tests applicable to the collateral securing the Class A Notes. The first coverage test, or the Class A Interest Coverage Test, compares the amount of interest received on the portfolio of loans held by Lehigh River to the
amount of interest payable in respect of the Class A Notes. To meet the Class A Interest Coverage Test, the aggregate amount of interest received on the portfolio of loans held by Lehigh River must equal at least 150% of the interest
payable in respect of the Class A Notes. The second coverage test, or the Class A Par Value Test, compares the aggregate principal amount of the portfolio of loans (other than any loan acquired for a purchase price of less than 80% of its
principal amount, which loan will be assigned a value equal to its purchase price) plus cash held by Lehigh



50

##### Table of Contents

River to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes. To meet the Class A Par Value Test, the aggregate principal amount of the portfolio of loans (other than any
loan acquired for a purchase price of less than 80% of its principal amount, which loan will be assigned a value equal to its purchase price) plus cash held by Lehigh River must equal at least 164.44% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Class A Notes. The third coverage test, or the Additional Class A Par Value Test, compares the aggregate principal amount of the portfolio of loans (other than any defaulted loan, which loan will be assigned a value equal to its market
value) held by Lehigh River to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes. To meet the Additional Class A Par Value Test, the aggregate principal amount of the portfolio of loans (other than any defaulted loan, which
loan will be assigned a value equal to its market value) held by Lehigh River must equal at least 147.07% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes. The quality tests compare the minimum weighted average fixed coupon
rates, the minimum weighted average floating coupon rates, the weighted average life, the anticipated recovery rates and the anticipated default rates of the portfolio of loans held by Lehigh River to certain benchmarks as described more fully in
the Amended and Restated Indenture.

If the Class A Interest Coverage Test or the Class A Par Value Test is not
satisfied on any date on which compliance is measured, Lehigh River is required to apply available amounts to the repayment of the outstanding principal of the Class A Notes to satisfy the applicable tests. Failure to satisfy the Additional
Class A Par Value Test on any measurement date constitutes an event of default under the Amended and Restated Indenture. Obligations that may be added to the portfolio of loans held by Lehigh River and constituting collateral from time to time
under the Amended and Restated Indenture are subject to certain restrictions in respect of the quality tests referenced above and more fully described in the Amended and Restated Indenture.

The market value of the underlying loans held by Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek may decline causing Cobbs Creek to borrow funds from
us in order to meet certain margin posting and minimum market value requirements, which would have an adverse effect on the timing of payments to us.

If at any time during the term of the JPM Facility the market value of the underlying loans held by Lehigh River securing the Class A Notes declines by an amount greater than the Margin Threshold,
Cobbs Creek will be required to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. Similarly, pursuant to the JPM Facility, the market value
of the underlying loans held by Cobbs Creek must be at least $75.0 million until April 7, 2013 and at least $150.0 million on and after April 7, 2013, or collectively, the Market Value Requirement. In either such event, in order to satisfy
these requirements, Cobbs Creek intends to borrow funds from us pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement will accrue interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 0.75% per annum. To the extent we loan additional funds
to Cobbs Creek to satisfy the Margin Threshold or the Market Value Requirement, such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and may result in our inability to make
distributions to our stockholders in amounts sufficient to maintain our qualification as a RIC, or at all. There is no assurance that loans made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement will be repaid.

Restructurings of investments held by Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek, if any, may decrease their value and reduce the value of our
equity interests in these entities.

As collateral manager, we have broad authority to direct and supervise the
investment and reinvestment of the investments held by Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek, which may require from time to time the execution of amendments, waivers, modifications and other changes to the investment documentation in accordance with the
related collateral management agreements we have entered into with Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek. During periods of economic uncertainty and recession, the necessity for amendments, waivers, modifications and restructurings of investments may
increase. Such amendments, waivers, modifications and other restructurings may change the terms of the investments and, in some cases, may result in Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek holding

assets that do not meet certain specified criteria for the investments made by it. This could adversely impact the coverage and quality tests under the Amended and Restated Indenture applicable
to Lehigh River. This could also adversely impact the ability of Lehigh River to meet the Margin Threshold and Cobbs Creek to meet the Market Value Requirement. Any amendment, waiver, modification or other restructuring that reduces Lehigh
Rivers compliance with the coverage and quality tests under the Amended and Restated Indenture will make it more likely that Lehigh River will need to pay cash to reduce the unpaid principal amount of the Class A Notes so as to cure any
breach of such tests. Similarly, any amendment, waiver, modification or other restructuring that reduces Lehigh Rivers ability to meet the Margin Threshold or Cobbs Creeks ability to meet the Market Value Requirement will make it more
likely that Cobbs Creek will need to retain assets, including cash, to increase the market value of the assets held by Cobbs Creek and to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of the
underlying loans held by Lehigh River is less than the Margin Threshold. Any such use of cash by Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek would reduce distributions available to us or delay the timing of distributions to us.

We may not receive cash from Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek.

We receive cash from Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek only to the extent that Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek, respectively, make distributions to
us. Lehigh River may make distributions to us, in turn, only to the extent permitted by the Amended and Restated Indenture. The Amended and Restated Indenture generally provides that distributions by Lehigh River may not be made unless all amounts
owing with respect to the Class A Notes have been paid in full. Cobbs Creek may make distributions to us only to the extent permitted by the JPM Facility. The JPM Facility generally provides that distributions by Cobbs Creek may not be made if
the Margin Threshold has not been met or if the market value of the underlying loans held by Cobbs Creek is less than the Market Value Requirement. If we do not receive cash from Lehigh River or Cobbs Creek, we may be unable to make distributions to
our stockholders in amounts sufficient to maintain our qualification as a RIC, or at all. We also could be forced to sell investments in our portfolio at less than their fair value in order to continue making such distributions.

We are subject to the credit risk of JPM.

If JPM fails to sell the Class A Notes back to Cobbs Creek at the end of the applicable period, Cobbs Creeks recourse will be limited to an unsecured claim against JPM for the difference
between the value of such Class A Notes at such time and the amount that would be owing by Cobbs Creek to JPM had JPM performed under the JPM Facility. The ability of JPM to satisfy such a claim will be subject to JPMs creditworthiness at
that time.

If we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of
investing in us.

The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying
the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. If we use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, stockholders will experience increased risks of investing in our common stock. If the
value of our assets increases, leverage would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leverage would cause net
asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the
leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally
considered a speculative investment technique. In addition, the decision to utilize leverage will increase our assets and, as a result, will increase the amount of management fees payable to FSIC II Advisor.

##### Table of Contents

Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net investment income.

Since we intend to use debt to finance investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the
difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment
income. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds will increase, which could reduce our net investment income. We expect that our long-term fixed-rate investments will be financed primarily with equity and
long-term debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.
These activities may limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the hedged portfolio. 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. Also, we have limited experience in entering into hedging transactions, and we will initially have to purchase or develop such expertise.

A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments.
Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate and may result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to FSIC II Advisor with respect to pre-incentive
fee net investment income.

Federal Income Tax Risks

We will be subject to corporate-level income tax if we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code or to satisfy RIC distribution requirements.

To qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code, we must meet the following annual distribution, income
source and asset diversification requirements. See Item 1. BusinessTaxation as a RIC.



| |  |  | The annual distribution requirement for a RIC will be satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our net
ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. Because we may use debt financing, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the 1940 Act and may in the future
become subject to certain financial covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to satisfy the distribution requirement. If we are unable to obtain cash from
other sources, we could fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The income source requirement will be satisfied if we obtain at least 90% of our income for each year from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of
stock or securities or similar sources.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of our taxable
year. To satisfy this requirement, at least 50% of the value of our assets must consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities if such securities of any one issuer do not represent more
than 5% of the value of our assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and no more than 25% of the value of our assets can be invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other
RICs, of one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or of certain qualified publicly-traded
partnerships. Failure to meet these requirements may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of our investments will be in private companies, and therefore will be
relatively illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous prices and could result in substantial losses.

If we fail to qualify for or maintain RIC tax treatment for any reason and are subject to
corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.

For federal income tax purposes, we may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which we do not receive a
corresponding payment in cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, increasing interest rates or debt
instruments that were issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same
taxable year. We may also have to include in income other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are paid in non-cash compensation such as warrants or
stock. We anticipate that a portion of our income may constitute original issue discount or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash. Further, we may elect to amortize market discounts and include such amounts
in our taxable income in the current year, instead of upon disposition, as an election not to do so would limit our ability to deduct interest expenses for tax purposes.

Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of the accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our
stockholders in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, even though we will not have received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, we may have difficulty meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to qualify for and
maintain RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. We may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for
this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for or maintain RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

Market Information

There
is currently no market for our common stock, and we do not expect that a market for our shares will develop in the foreseeable future. No shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under
Maryland law, our stockholders generally will not be personally liable for our debts or obligations.

We are offering our
shares on a continuous basis at a price of $10.40 per share as of March 18, 2013; however, to the extent that our net asset value per share increases, we will sell at a price necessary to ensure that shares are not sold at a price per share,
after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is below net asset value per share. In connection with each semi-monthly closing on the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
which relates to our public offering of common stock on a continuous basis, our board of directors or a committee thereof is required, within 48 hours of the time that each closing and sale is made, to make the determination that we are not
selling shares of our common stock at a price per share which, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below our then current net asset value per share.

In the event of a material decline in our net asset value per share, which we consider to be a 2.5% decrease below our then-current net
offering price, we will reduce our offering price in order to establish a new net offering price that is not more than 2.5% above our net asset value per share.

Set forth below is a chart describing the classes of our securities outstanding as of March 14, 2013:

As of March 14, 2013, we had 21,806 record holders of our common stock.

Share Repurchase Program

We intend to 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.

Our board of directors
will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:



| |  |  | the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the liquidity of our assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our investment plans and working capital requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the relative economies of scale with respect to our size;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the condition of the securities markets.

##### Table of Contents

We currently intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year
to the number of shares we can repurchase with the proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of our board of directors, we 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 shares. In addition, we will limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that we offer to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. We will offer to repurchase such shares on each date of repurchase
at a price equal to 90% of the current offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time upon 30 days notice.

The table below provides information concerning our repurchases of shares of our common stock during the quarter ended December 31,
2012 pursuant our share repurchase program.

Distributions

We declared our first distribution on June 20, 2012. Subject to our board of directors discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash
distributions on either a semi-monthly or monthly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. We will calculate each stockholders specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates, and each
stockholders distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept each stockholders subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of common
stock at the discretion of our board of directors. For example, our board of directors may periodically declare stock distributions in order to reduce our net asset value per share if necessary to ensure that we do not sell shares at a price per
share, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is below our net asset value per share. We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds 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 Franklin Square Holdings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. On a quarterly basis, we will send information to all stockholders of
record regarding the source of distributions paid to our stockholders in such quarter. 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. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital generally is a return of your 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 the offering, including any fees payable to FSIC II Advisor. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the
sources of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the period from June 18, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012 represented a return of capital for tax
purposes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

##### Table of Contents

Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, dated as of
May 10, 2012, or the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders. Under those circumstances,
Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for
expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any
amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment
income for tax purposes, 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 income or net
capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to stockholders.

We or Franklin Square Holdings may
terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin Square Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that we have achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we bear a reasonable
level of expenses in relation to our income. If we terminate the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FSIC II Advisor, we will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square
Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square
Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Franklin Square Holdings 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 Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we accrued $2,482 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to pay. It is intended that these reimbursements
will be funded, in part, through the offset of management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we received $113 in cash reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings and
offset $734 in management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement against reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, we had $1,635 of
reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings, which we expect to offset against management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor.

From time to time and not less than quarterly, FSIC II Advisor must review our accounts to determine whether cash distributions are appropriate. We intend to distribute pro rata to our stockholders funds
received by us which FSIC II Advisor deems unnecessary for us to retain.

##### Table of Contents

We intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash, out of assets
legally available for distribution, unless stockholders elect to receive their distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain
taxable to a U.S. stockholder. If stockholders hold shares in the name of a broker or financial intermediary, they should contact the broker or financial intermediary regarding their election to receive distributions in additional shares of our
common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan.

In order to qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute
at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each
calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar
year and (3) any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit us to
pay any cash distributions. If we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of
any of our borrowings.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and paid on our
common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012:



|                                |  |              |        |  |        |   |        |

On January 14, 2013, our board of directors declared a regular semi-monthly cash distribution of
$0.030964 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 15, 2013 and a regular semi-monthly cash distribution of $0.031115 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013, both of which were paid on
January 31, 2013. On January 29, 2013, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which were paid on February 28, 2013 to stockholders of record on February 15, 2013
and February 27, 2013, respectively. On March 14, 2013, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which will be paid on March 29, 2013 to stockholders of record on
March 15, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.

We have adopted an opt in distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, then
stockholders 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 shares of our common stock.

|(1) | During the year ended December 31, 2012, 92% of our gross investment income was attributable to cash interest earned and 8% was attributable to non-cash accretion
of discount.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our net investment income on a tax basis for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $7,334. We
distributed all of our tax-basis net investment income earned as of December 31, 2012.

The difference between our net
investment income based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and our tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis deferral and amortization of organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations,
the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by us, the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the
total return swap in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the total return swap. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCritical Accounting
PoliciesCapital Gains Incentive Fee for a discussion of the methodology used in calculating the capital gains incentive fee. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net
investment income during the year ended December 31, 2012:

on Form 10-K are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the
State of Maryland on July 13, 2011 and commenced operations on June 18, 2012 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500 from sales of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering to persons who were not affiliated with
us or FSIC II 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 intends to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and
intends to qualify annually thereafter, 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 and registration as a non-diversified,
closed-end management investment company.

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

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

Originated/Proprietary Transactions: We intend to leverage our relationship with GDFM and their global sourcing and origination
platform to identify proprietary investment opportunities. We define proprietary investments as any investment originated or structured specifically for us or made by us that was not generally available to the broader market. Proprietary investments
may include both debt and equity components, although we do not expect to make equity investments independent of having an existing credit relationship. We believe proprietary transactions may offer attractive investment opportunities as they
typically offer higher returns than broadly syndicated transactions.

Anchor Orders: In addition to proprietary
transactions, we will 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. Our decision to provide
an anchor order to a syndicated transaction is predicated on a rigorous credit analysis, our familiarity with a particular company, industry or financial sponsor, and the broader investment experiences of FSIC II Advisor and GDFM. 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.

Event Driven: 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 ability to successful predict the outcome of an individual
event 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.

Opportunistic: We intend to 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 industry 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.

Collateralized Securities:
Collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, are a form of securitization where the cash flow from a pooled basket of syndicated loans is used to support distribution payments made to different tranches of securities. While collectively CLOs represent
nearly fifty percent of the broadly syndicated loan universe, investing in individual CLO tranches requires a high degree of investor sophistication due to their structural complexity and the illiquid nature of their securities. Our relationship
with GSO, one of the largest CLO managers in the world, allows us to invest in these securities with confidence and to capitalize on opportunities in the secondary CLO market.

Broadly Syndicated/Other: Although our primary focus is to invest in proprietary transactions, 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 proprietary investments and provide a complement to our more illiquid proprietary 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 investments in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private U.S. companies and,
to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which we may invest. We may
purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the over-the-counter market for institutional loans or directly from our target companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity
interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a
co-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities. However, such investments are not expected to
comprise a significant portion of our portfolio. We expect that our investments will generally range between $5,000 and $25,000 each, although investments may vary as the size of our capital base changes and will ultimately be at the discretion of
FSIC II Advisor, subject to oversight by our board of directors.

The senior secured and second lien secured loans in which we
invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and any subordinated debt investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such securities is generally between three and seven
years. However, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security in our portfolio. The loans in which we invest are often rated by an NRSRO and generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than Baa3 by
Moodys or lower than BBB- by S&P). However, we also invest in non-rated debt securities.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase in net assets resulting from operations, which includes
net investment income, net realized gain on investments, net realized gain on total return swap,



65



---

##### Table of Contents

net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap and net unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency. Net
investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of
portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net realized gain on total return swap is the net monthly settlement payments received on the TRS. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our
investment portfolio. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on total return swap is the net change in fair value of the TRS. Net unrealized gains and losses 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 may also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we may hold. No such revenues were earned during the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, we may
generate revenues in the form of commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting 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 facilities and other expenses necessary for our operations. Our investment advisory fee compensates FSIC II Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and
servicing our investments. FSIC II Advisor is responsible for compensating our investment sub-adviser.

We reimburse FSIC II
Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. Such services include the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services.
FSIC II Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our
stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FSIC II 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 stockholders, and
generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others.

The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FSIC II Advisors actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate we would be required to
pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FSIC II Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or
other reasonable metrics. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party
providers known to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of directors compares
the total amount paid to FSIC II Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. We do not reimburse FSIC II 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 FSIC II Advisor.

Portfolio Investment Activity For The Period from
June 18, 2012 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2012

During the period from June 18, 2012
through December 31, 2012, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling $681,503. During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of $182,908 and received principal repayments of $21,340.

As of December 31, 2012, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of $488,642, consisted of interests in 88 portfolio
companies (33% in first lien senior secured loans, 30% in second lien senior secured loans, 10% in senior secured bonds, 22% in subordinated debt, 4% in collateralized securities and 1% in equity/other). The portfolio companies that comprised our
portfolio as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $303.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at a

##### Table of Contents

weighted average price of 95.9% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 78.4% of
our portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was B3 based upon the Moodys scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 10.3% based upon the purchase price of our investments. Our gross annual
portfolio yield, prior to leverage, represents the expected yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of December 31, 2012. The portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment
return to stockholders

Based on our regular semi-monthly cash distribution rate of $0.030813 per share as of
December 31, 2012 and our public offering price of $10.20 per share as of such date, the annualized distribution rate to stockholders as of December 31, 2012 was 7.25%. The distribution rate to stockholders does not represent an actual
investment return to stockholders and may include income, realized capital gains and a return of investors capital. Our gross annual portfolio yield and distribution rate to stockholders are subject to change and in the future may be greater
or less than the rates set forth above. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

##### Table of Contents

We do not control and are not an affiliate of any of our portfolio
companies, each as defined in the 1940 Act. In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to control a portfolio company if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an affiliate of a portfolio company
if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

Our investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of
credit or revolving credit facilities, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of December 31, 2012, we had one such investment, with an
aggregate unfunded commitment of $10,204. We maintain sufficient cash on hand to fund such unfunded loan commitments should the need arise.

The table below describes investments by industry classification and enumerates the percentage, by fair value, of the total portfolio assets in such industries as of December 31, 2012:

Portfolio Asset Quality

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



|                  |  |

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.

Results of Operations

We commenced operations on June 18, 2012, when we raised in excess of $2,500 from persons who were not affiliated with us or FSIC II Advisor. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement, we
had no operations except for matters relating to our organization and registration as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. As a result, no comparisons with the comparable 2011 periods have been included. From January 1,
2012 through June 18, 2012, we incurred organization costs of $205 and offering costs of $1,074 which were funded by Franklin Square Holdings and recorded as a contribution to capital.

June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, in the form of interest and fees earned on senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, subordinated debt and collateralized securities in our portfolio. Such revenues represent $8,758 of cash income
earned as well as $726 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012. 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 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 to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

Expenses

Our total operating expenses (which excludes $205 of organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Companys
operations) were $8,952 for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Our operating expenses include base management fees attributed to FSIC II Advisor of $3,315 and administrative services expenses attributed to FSIC II
Advisor of $396 for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

FSIC II Advisor is eligible to receive
incentive fees based on performance. We accrued capital gains incentive fees of $3,548 for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, of which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains. No such
fees are actually payable by us with respect to such unrealized gains unless and until those gains are actually realized. See Critical Accounting PoliciesCapital Gains Incentive Fee.

We recorded interest expense of $291 for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012 relating to the JPM Facility
and the amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the JPM Facility and the establishment of our TRS. For the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, fees and expenses incurred with our fund
administrator, which provides various accounting and administrative services to us, totaled $85 and fees and expenses incurred with our stock transfer agent totaled $540.

Our other general and administrative expenses totaled $777 for the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and consisted of the following:

We generally expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase
because of the anticipated growth in the size of our asset base. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the ratio of our operating expenses to our average net assets was 4.11% and the ratio of our net operating
expenses to our average net assets, which includes $2,482 of expense reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings, was 2.97%. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, our ratio of net operating expenses to average
net assets included $291 related to interest expense and $3,548 related to accruals for incentive fees. Without such expenses, our ratio of net operating expenses to average net assets would have been 1.21%, for the period from June 18, 2012
through December 31, 2012. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to our continuous public offering, among other things, may increase or decrease our operating expenses in relation to our expense ratios relative to comparative
periods depending on portfolio performance, changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR and offerings of our securities, among other factors.

Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement,
Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse
us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference
between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and
only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by
us to stockholders.

We or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin
Square Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that we have achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we bear a reasonable level of expenses in relation to our income. If we terminate the
investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FSIC II Advisor, we will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Franklin
Square Holdings 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
Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

##### Table of Contents

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we accrued $2,482
for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to pay. It is intended that these reimbursements will be funded, in part, through the offset of management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012
through December 31, 2012, we received $113 in cash reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings and offset $734 in management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement against
reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, we had $1,635 of reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings, which we expect to offset against management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment by us in
the future. As of December 31, 2012, $2,482 of reimbursements may become subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

Net Investment Income

Our net investment income totaled $3,014 for the
period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

We sold investments and received principal repayments of $182,908 and $21,340, respectively, during the period from June 18, 2012
through December 31, 2012, from which we realized net gains of $2,625. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we earned $1,566 from periodic net settlement payments on our TRS, which are reflected as realized
gains, and realized a net loss of $(142) from settlements on foreign currency.

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

For the period from
June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $8,036; the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our TRS was $5,641; and the net change in
unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency was $(130). The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments and TRS during the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012 was primarily driven by tightening of
credit spreads as demand for senior loans and subordinated debt increased during the period.

Net Increase (Decrease) in
Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the net
increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $20,610.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold 57,615,461 shares of our common stock
(including shares of common stock sold in the private placement) for gross proceeds of $574,355. The gross proceeds received include reinvested stockholder distributions of $3,608 for which we issued 377,027 shares of common stock. We also incurred
offering costs of $3,882 in connection with the sale of our common stock (of which $2,808 was incurred during the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012), which consisted primarily of legal, due diligence and printing fees.
Franklin Square Holdings funded $2,184 of these offering costs, which were recorded as a contribution of capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value in our consolidated financial statements. The sales commissions
and dealer manager fees related to the sale of our common stock were $51,993. These sales commissions and fees include $10,025 retained by the dealer manager, FS2Capital Partners, LLC, which is one of our affiliates.

##### Table of Contents

Since commencing our continuous public offering and through March 14, 2013, we have
sold 85,874,688 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $865,684. As of March 14, 2013, we have raised total gross proceeds of approximately $884,279, including $200 of seed capital contributed by principals of FSIC II
Advisor in December 2011 and $18,395 in proceeds raised from principals of FSIC II Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor, certain members of our board of directors and certain individuals and entities affiliated
with GDFM in a private placement completed in June 2012. As of March 14, 2013, we have sold an aggregate of 2,460,651 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $22,200 to members of our board of directors and
individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor and GDFM, including shares of common stock sold in the private placement completed in June 2012.

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 shares of our common stock. We accept subscriptions on a continuous basis and issue shares at semi-monthly closings 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 intent to be taxed as a RIC.

As of December 31, 2012, we had $107,157 in cash, which we hold in a custodial account, and $97,441 in cash held as collateral by Citibank under the terms of the TRS.

To provide our stockholders with limited liquidity, we intend to 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.

The table below provides information concerning our repurchases of shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012 pursuant to our share repurchase program.

Total Return Swap

On July 2, 2012, Del River entered into a TRS for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank. On September 12, 2012, Del River entered into an amendment to the TRS to
increase the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS from $100,000 to $175,000; on September 27, 2012, Del River entered into a second amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $175,000 to $275,000;
on November 15, 2012, Del River entered into a third amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $275,000 to $375,000; and on December 13, 2012, Del River entered into a fourth amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from
$375,000 to $425,000.

The TRS with Citibank enables us, through our ownership of Del River, to obtain the economic benefit of
owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Del River borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

---

##### Table of Contents

The obligations of Del River under the TRS are non-recourse to us and our exposure under the
TRS is limited to the value of our investment in Del River, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Del River under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum
aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $425,000. Del River is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% of the market value of such loan)
included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Del River has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating
requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Del River are available to pay our debts.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that we have entered into with Del River, we act as the manager of the rights
and obligations of Del River under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by Del River for purposes of the TRS are selected by us in accordance
with our investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select any loan or obligation available in the market to be
included in the portfolio of loans that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the TRS Agreement.

Each individual loan,
and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that substantially all of the loans underlying the TRS be rated by Moodys and S&P and quoted by a nationally-recognized
pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the delivery of notice thereof,
then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Del River receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Del River pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to
one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum on the full notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Del River will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the
value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Del River may
be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Del
River may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Del River. The amount of collateral required to be
posted by Del River is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying loans.

We have no
contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to Citibank. We may, but are not obligated to, increase our equity investment in Del River for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment
obligations for which Del River may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If we do not make any such additional investment in Del River and Del River fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate
the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Del River under the TRS. In the event of an early termination of the TRS, Del River would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after July 2, 2013, the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Del River may
terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any termination prior to the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee
to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Del River to Citibank for the period from the
termination date through and including July 2, 2013. Such monthly payments will equal the product of (x) 85%, multiplied by (y) the



75



---

##### Table of Contents

aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($425,000 as of December 31, 2012), multiplied by (z) 1.25% per annum. If the TRS had been terminated as of December 31, 2012, Del River
would have been required to pay an early termination fee of approximately $2,166. Other than during the first 90 days and last 30 days of the term of the TRS, Del River is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS.

The value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms
of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank reports the mark-to-market
values of the underlying loans to Del River. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the TRS was $5,641. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap on our consolidated balance
sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of December 31, 2012, Del River had selected 97 underlying loans
with a total notional amount of $383,742 and posted $97,441 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $96,251 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated balance sheets.

We incurred costs of $20 in connection with obtaining the TRS, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated
balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the TRS. As of December 31, 2012, $10 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest expense.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less the
initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Del River under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new
rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further, for purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we
treat each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. We may, however, accord different treatment to
the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

JPM
Financing

On February 6, 2013, through our two newly formed, wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote
subsidiaries, Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek, we entered into the February 2013 amendment to our conventional debt financing arrangement with JPM, which we originally entered into on October 26, 2012. The February 2013 amendment, among other
things, (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $150,000 to $300,000 and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the financing arrangement from November 20, 2016 to February 20, 2017.
We 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 be available through alternate arrangements.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, we may sell from time to time loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of
approximately $640,000 ($316,500 prior to the February 2013 amendment) to Lehigh River pursuant to the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013,
we had sold loans to Lehigh River for a purchase price of approximately $202,300, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Lehigh River. It is expected that the aggregate amount of loans held by Lehigh River when the
financing arrangement is fully-ramped will be approximately $640,000.

The loans held by Lehigh River will secure the
obligations of Lehigh River under Class A Notes to be issued from time to time by Lehigh River to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of
Class A Notes that may be

##### Table of Contents

issued by Lehigh River from time to time is $360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Principal on the Class A Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of
February 20, 2024 (November 20, 2023 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Interest on the Class A Notes accrues at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Cobbs Creek will purchase the Class A Notes to be issued by
Lehigh River from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture,
Lehigh River has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in
similar transactions, the Amended and Restated Indenture contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the Class A Notes at their stated maturity or redemption date, or to make interest payments on
the Class A Notes within five business days of when due; (b) the failure of the aggregate outstanding principal balance (subject to certain reductions) of the loans securing the Class A Notes to be at least 147.07% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Class A Notes; and (c) GDFM ceasing to be the sub-adviser to our investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor.

Cobbs Creek, in turn, has entered into a repurchase transaction with JPM, pursuant to the terms of the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A
Notes held by Cobbs Creek for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 83.33% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased
under the JPM Facility is $360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility will not exceed $300,000 ($150,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment).
Under the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must occur no later than
February 20, 2017 (November 20, 2016 prior to the February 2013 amendment). The repurchase price paid by Cobbs Creek to JPM for each repurchase of the Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A
Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. Commencing February 20, 2015, Cobbs Creek is permitted to reduce (based on certain thresholds) the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes subject to the JPM
Facility. Such reductions, and any other reductions of the principal amount of Class A Notes, including upon an event of default, will be subject to breakage fees in an amount equal to the present value of 1.25% per annum over the
remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

If at any time during the term of the JPM
Facility the market value of the loans held by Lehigh River securing the Class A Notes declines below the Margin Threshold, Cobbs Creek will be required to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the
market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. In such event, in order to satisfy any such margin-posting requirements, Cobbs Creek intends to borrow funds from us pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement will
accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

In connection with the JPM
Facility, we may sell from time to time loans in our portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $180,000 ($90,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment) to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer
Agreement. The loans purchased by Cobbs Creek from us will secure the obligations of Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility. Under the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013, we had sold loans to Cobbs Creek for
a purchase price of approximately $35,700, all of which consisted of the issuance to us of equity interests in Cobbs Creek.

Pursuant to the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various
covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar

transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the JPM Facility contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to pay the repurchase
price upon the applicable payment dates; (b) the failure to post required cash collateral with JPM as discussed above; and (c) the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Indenture.

In connection with the Class A Notes and the Amended and Restated Indenture, Lehigh River also entered into (i) the Lehigh
Management Agreement, pursuant to which we will manage the assets of Lehigh River; and (ii) the Lehigh Administration Agreement, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with respect to the assets of Lehigh River.
In connection with the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek also entered into the Cobbs Management Agreement, pursuant to which we will manage the assets of Cobbs Creek.

As of December 31, 2012, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $141,000 had been purchased by Cobbs Creek from Lehigh River and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for
aggregate proceeds of approximately $117,500. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of loans held by Lehigh River was $270,119, which included loans purchased by Lehigh River with proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. We funded
each purchase of Class A Notes by Cobbs Creek through a capital contribution to Cobbs Creek. As of December 31, 2012, Cobbs Creeks liability under the JPM Facility was $117,500, plus $274 of accrued interest expense. The Class A
Notes issued by Lehigh River and purchased by Cobbs Creek eliminate in consolidation on our financial statements.

On
February 6, 2013, Lehigh River issued and sold to Cobbs Creek an additional $39,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes and Cobbs Creek sold such Class A Notes to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of
$32,500. During the 180-day period following February 6, 2013, Lehigh River intends to issue and sell to Cobbs Creek an additional $180,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes and Cobbs Creek intends to enter into additional
repurchase transactions under the JPM Facility with respect to such Class A Notes.

We incurred costs of $159 in
connection with obtaining the JPM Facility, which we have recorded as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize to interest expense over the life of the JPM Facility. As of December 31, 2012, $152 of such deferred
financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the JPM
Facility was 3.25% as of December 31, 2012. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commenced in February 2013. We recorded interest expense of $281 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes commitment fees on the unused
portion of the JPM Facility, and $7 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. We paid $0 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. The average borrowings under the JPM Facility for the year ended December 31,
2012 were $44,230, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.25%.

Amounts outstanding under the JPM Facility will be
considered borrowings by us for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

Capital
Contribution by FSIC II Advisor and GDFM

In December 2011, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FSIC
II Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase 22,222 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals
have agreed not to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains our investment adviser.

In June 2012, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities, 222,222 additional shares of common stock at $9.00 per share. The principals have
agreed not

to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of our board of
directors and other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor agreed to purchase 1,247,267 shares of common stock, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GDFM agreed to purchase 574,444 shares of common stock, in each
case at a price of $9.00 per share. In connection with the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 2,043,933 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $18,395 upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on June 18, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, we have sold an aggregate of 2,291,098 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,659 to members of our board of directors and individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor and GDFM, including
shares of common stock sold in the private placement completed in June 2012.

RIC Status and Distributions

We intend to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M
of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, each year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the
fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of the taxable year or the due date of the tax return, including extensions, distributions paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining
the distributions paid in such tax year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify for and maintain our RIC status each year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least
98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years on which we paid no federal income taxes.

We declared our first distribution on June 20, 2012. Subject to our board of directors discretion and applicable legal
restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on either a semi-monthly or monthly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. We will calculate each stockholders specific distribution amount for the
period using record and declaration dates and each stockholders distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept each stockholders subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time, we may also pay special interim
distributions in the form of cash or common stock at the discretion of our board of directors. 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 our common stock. As a result, it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. 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 FSIC II
Advisor. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the distributions paid during the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012 represented
a return of capital for tax purposes.

We intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash out of
assets legally available for distribution, unless stockholders elect to receive their distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless
remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared and
paid on our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012:



|                                |  |              |        |  |        |   |        |

On January 14, 2013, our board of directors declared a regular semi-monthly cash
distribution of $0.030964 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 15, 2013 and a regular semi-monthly cash distribution of $0.031115 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013, both of which were paid on
January 31, 2013. On January 29, 2013, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which were paid on February 28, 2013 to stockholders of record on February 15, 2013
and February 27, 2013, respectively. On March 14, 2013, our board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which will be paid on March 29, 2013 to stockholders of record on
March 15, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.

We have adopted an opt in distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our
stockholders 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 shares of our common stock.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds 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 Franklin Square Holdings. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

December 31, 2012:

The difference between our GAAP-basis net investment income and our tax-basis net investment
income is due to the tax-basis deferral and amortization of organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations, the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such
incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by us, the inclusion of a portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on our total return swap in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the total return swap. The
following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2012:

The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal
year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders are reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

As of December 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

The aggregate cost of our investments
for federal income tax purposes totaled $480,606 as of December 31, 2012. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis, including our TRS, was $13,352 as of December 31, 2012.

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 that are publicly-traded are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not
publicly-traded are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. In connection with that determination, FSIC II Advisor provides our board of directors 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 third-party valuation services.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or 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 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 valuation process begins with FSIC II Advisors management team providing a preliminary valuation of each portfolio company or
investment to our valuation committee, which valuation may be obtained from our sub-adviser or an independent valuation firm, if applicable;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our valuation committee;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuation and FSIC II Advisors management team, together with our independent valuation firm, if
applicable, responds and supplements the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on various
statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of FSIC II Advisor, the valuation committee and any third-party valuation firm, 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. Below is a description of factors that our board of directors may consider when valuing our
debt and equity 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 our board of



82



---

##### Table of Contents

directors may consider 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 will generally
approximate the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (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
directors, in its analysis 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.

Our board of directors may also look to 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. Our board of directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its
specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the 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.

If we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security,
our board of directors will allocate the cost basis in the investment between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of directors will subsequently value these warrants or
other equity securities received at fair value.

The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board
of directors. Our board of directors 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 investments as of December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market
for institutional investors. Except as described below, we valued our investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end that were screened
for validity by such services. One senior secured loan investment and one senior secured bond investment, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation firm, 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 and other relevant terms of the debt. All of our equity/other investments were valued by
the same 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. We valued the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the
loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices
provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to us for review and testing. Our valuation committee and board of directors
review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent our valuation committee or board of directors has any
questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS.

##### Table of Contents

We periodically benchmark the bid and ask prices we receive from the third-party pricing
services 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 to determine fair value for securities for which we cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through our third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. We
periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which we purchase and sell our investments. Our valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation
determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with our valuation process.

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. 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. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees are
recorded as interest income. Upfront structuring fees are recorded as income when earned. We record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest 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 upfront 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. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in the value of 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 we entered into with FSIC II Advisor, 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). Such fee will equal 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 applicable period, 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 FSIC II 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, or 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 FSIC II Advisor if our entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though

##### Table of Contents

FSIC II Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we accrued
capital gains incentive fees of $3,548 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains.

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 year ended December 31, 2012, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an agreement with FSIC II 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. FSIC II Advisor and, to the extent it is required to
provide such services, our sub-adviser are reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. For the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we incurred $3,315 in base management fees and $396 in administrative
services expenses under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement. In addition, FSIC II Advisor is eligible to receive incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio. During the period from June 18, 2012 through
December 31, 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $3,548 based on the performance of our portfolio, of which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains.

As of December 31, 2012, Cobbs Creek had sold $141,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes to JPM under the JPM
Facility for aggregate proceeds of $117,500. Cobbs Creek will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase transaction must
occur no later than February 20, 2017.

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations for the repayment of
outstanding borrowings under the JPM Facility between Cobbs Creek and JPM at December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting



85

##### Table of Contents

Standards Board, or, collectively, the Accounting Boards, on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted in common
requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term fair value and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily
determinable fair values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International
Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We
have implemented this guidance and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, except for enhanced disclosures around fair value measurements.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into an investment advisory and
administrative services agreement with FSIC II Advisor. Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, FSIC II Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 2.0% of the average value of our gross assets and an
incentive fee of 20.0% of net investment income, subject to an annualized 7.5% hurdle, and 20.0% of net realized capital gains, if applicable.

We commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement on June 18, 2012, upon commencement of our operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in
arrears. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we accrued $3,315 in base management fees payable to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, $734 in base
management fees were applied to offset the liability of Franklin Square Holdings under the expense reimbursement agreement discussed below and $114 was paid to FSIC II Advisor by us. Of the $2,467 in base management fees accrued and payable as of
December 31, 2012, it is intended that $1,635 of such fees will be applied to offset the liability of Franklin Square Holdings under the expense reimbursement agreement as of December 31, 2012 and the balance, $832, will be paid to FSIC II
Advisor.

We accrue for the capital gains incentive fee, which, if earned, is paid annually. We accrue 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 FSIC II 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. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $3,548 based on the performance of our portfolio, of
which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains.

We reimburse FSIC II Advisor for expenses
necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FSIC II Advisors actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we
estimate we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FSIC II Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets,
revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. Our board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining
similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, our board of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally,
our board of directors compares the total amount paid to FSIC II Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we incurred administrative services expenses of $396
attributable to FSIC II Advisor, of which $321 related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to us by FSIC II Advisor and the remainder related to other

reimbursable expenses. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we paid $215 of administrative services expenses to FSIC II Advisor. As of December 31, 2012,
we had $181 in administrative services expense payable to FSIC II Advisor.

Franklin Square Holdings funded offering costs and
organization costs in the amount of $2,389 and $813 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011, respectively. These costs have been recorded by us as a contribution to
capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in excess of par value on our consolidated financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by us. Since inception through December 31, 2012, Franklin
Square Holdings has funded $3,202 in offering and organization costs.

The dealer manager for our
continuous public offering is FS2Capital Partners, LLC,
which is one of our affiliates. During the year ended December 31, 2012, FS2Capital Partners, LLC retained $10,025 for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of our common stock.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement,
FSIC II Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in our continuous public offering until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FSIC II Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square Holdings) have been
recovered. On June 18, 2012, we satisfied the minimum offering requirement. We paid total reimbursements of $3,202 to FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2012. The reimbursements are recorded as a
reduction of capital. As of December 31, 2012, no amounts remain reimbursable to FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement.

In December 2011, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the principals of FSIC II Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase 22,222 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share, which represents
the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The principals have agreed not to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains our investment
adviser.

In June 2012, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated
entities, 222,222 additional shares of common stock at $9.00 per share. The principals have agreed not to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains our investment adviser. In connection with the same
private placement, certain members of our board of directors and other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor agreed to purchase 1,247,267 shares of common stock, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GDFM agreed to
purchase 574,444 shares of common stock, in each case at a price of $9.00 per share. In connection with the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 2,043,933 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $18,395 upon satisfaction of the
minimum offering requirement on June 18, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we have sold an aggregate of 2,291,098 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,659 to members of our board of directors and individuals and entities
affiliated with FSIC II Advisor and GDFM, including shares of common stock sold in the private placement completed in June 2012.

FSIC II Advisors senior management team is comprised of the same personnel as the senior management teams of FB Income Advisor, LLC and FS Investment Advisor, LLC, the investment advisers to
Franklin Square Holdings other affiliated BDCs, FS Investment Corporation and FS Energy and Power Fund, respectively. As a result, such personnel provide investment advisory services to us and each of FS Investment Corporation and FS Energy
and Power Fund. While none of FSIC II Advisor, FB Income Advisor, LLC or FS Investment Advisor, LLC is currently making private corporate debt investments for clients other than us, FS Investment Corporation or FS Energy and Power Fund,
respectively, any, or all, may do so in the future. In the event that FSIC II 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 our investment objectives and strategies, if

necessary, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of FSIC II Advisor or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of FSIC II Advisor retaining additional
clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to FS Investment Corporation and/or FS Energy and Power Fund rather than to us.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to reimburse us for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that no portion of our distributions to
stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders. Under those circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse us for the portion of such distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders.

Under the expense reimbursement
agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse us for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes)
in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense reimbursement agreement, we will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin
Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the
sum of our net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by us to stockholders.

We or Franklin
Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin Square Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that we have achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that
we bear a reasonable level of expenses in relation to our income. If we terminate the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FSIC II Advisor, we will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by
Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by
Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. Franklin Square Holdings 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 Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of our expenses in future quarters.

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we accrued $2,482 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to pay. As discussed more fully above, it is
intended that these reimbursements will be funded, in part, through the offset of management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we received $113 in cash reimbursements
from Franklin Square Holdings and offset $734 in management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement against reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings. As of December 31,
2012, we had $1,635 of reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings, which we expect to offset against management fees payable by us to FSIC II Advisor.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to us by Franklin Square
Holdings may become subject to repayment by us in the future. As of December 31, 2012, $2,482 of reimbursements may become subject to repayment by us to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

Recent Developments

For
the period from January 1, 2013 to March 14, 2013, we have sold 30,303,160 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $309,724 at an average price per share of $10.22.



|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2012, 64.1% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 1.0%
were non-income producing and the remainder (34.9%) paid fixed interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in
the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle
rate, as described in the investment advisory and administrative services agreement we have entered into with FSIC II Advisor, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to FSIC
II Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under the terms of the TRS between Del
River and Citibank, Del River pays fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a pool of loans having a maximum notional amount of $425,000. Under the terms of the JPM Facility,
Cobbs Creek pays interest to JPM at a fixed rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities, total return swap agreements 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 swap agreements 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 net interest income, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and borrowing arrangements in effect as of December 31, 2012:

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and
long-term 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 year ended December 31, 2012,
we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

FS Investment Corporation II

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FS Investment Corporation II (the Company) as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012
and for the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FS Investment Corporation II as of December 31, 2012 and
2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

As explained in Note 7, the consolidated financial statements include investments valued at approximately
$488,642,000 (92.6% of net assets) as of December 31, 2012, whose fair values have been determined by the Company in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values.

Note 1. Principal Business and
Organization

FS Investment Corporation II, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the
State of Maryland on July 13, 2011 and commenced operations on June 18, 2012 upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, from sales of shares of its common stock in its continuous public offering
to persons who were not affiliated with the Company or the Companys investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, or FSIC II Advisor, a private investment firm that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended, and an affiliate of the Company. Prior to satisfying the minimum offering requirement, the Company had no operations except for matters relating to its organization and registration as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
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 intends to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, 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 December 31, 2012, the Company had three wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, Del River LLC, or Del River
(formerly known as IC-II Investments LLC), which was established on June 20, 2012, Cobbs Creek LLC, or Cobbs Creek, which was established on October 1, 2012, and Lehigh River LLC, or Lehigh River, which was established on October 1,
2012. The consolidated financial statements include both the Companys accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned financing subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Since commencing its continuous public offering and through March 14, 2013, the Company has sold 85,874,688 shares of common stock
for gross proceeds of approximately $865,684. As of March 14, 2013, the Company had raised total gross proceeds of approximately $884,279, including $200 of seed capital contributed by the principals of FSIC II Advisor in December 2011 and
$18,395 in proceeds raised from principals of FSIC II Advisor, other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor, certain members of the Companys board of directors and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GSO /
Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or GDFM, the sub-adviser to FSIC II Advisor, in a private placement completed in June 2012 (see Note 4). During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold 57,615,461 shares of common stock
(including shares of common stock sold in the private placement) for gross proceeds of approximately $574,355 at an average price per share of $9.97. The gross proceeds received during the year ended December 31, 2012 include reinvested
stockholder distributions of approximately $3,608 for which the Company issued 377,027 shares of common stock. During the period from January 1, 2013 to March 14, 2013, the Company sold 30,303,160 shares of common stock for gross proceeds
of approximately $309,724 at an average price per share of $10.22.

The proceeds from the issuance of common stock as
presented on the Companys consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated statements of cash flows are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $51,993 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



Use of Estimates: The preparation of the 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. All cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments: The Company determines the net asset value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities that are publicly-traded are valued at the reported closing price
on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Companys board of directors. In connection with that determination, FSIC II Advisor provides the Companys board of
directors 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 third-party valuation services.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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 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, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| |  |  | the Companys quarterly valuation process begins with FSIC II Advisors management team providing a preliminary valuation of each portfolio
company or investment to the Companys valuation committee, which valuation may be obtained from the Companys sub-adviser or an independent valuation firm, if applicable;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Companys valuation committee;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companys valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuation and FSIC II Advisors management team, together with its independent
valuation firm, if applicable, responds and supplements the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee; and

| |  |  | the Companys board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Companys portfolio in good
faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation of FSIC II Advisor, the valuation committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Companys consolidated
financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of factors that the Companys
board of directors may consider when valuing the Companys debt and equity 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, the Company may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that the Companys board of directors may consider 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 its debt investments.

For convertible debt securities, fair value will generally approximate the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to
purchase the underlying security (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.

The Companys equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Companys board of directors, in its analysis of fair value, may
consider various factors, such as 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. All of these factors may be subject
to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Companys actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or acquisition,
recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

The Companys board of directors may also look to 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. The Companys board of
directors may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors it deems relevant in assessing the value. Generally, the value of the Companys 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.

If the Company receives warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in
connection with an investment in a debt security, the Companys board of directors will allocate the cost basis in the investment between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination.
The Companys board of directors will subsequently value these warrants or other equity securities received at fair value.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



The fair values of the Companys investments are determined in good faith by the
Companys board of directors. The Companys board of directors is solely responsible for the valuation of the Companys portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Companys valuation policy
and consistently applied valuation process.

The Companys investments as of December 31, 2012 consisted primarily
of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, the Company valued its investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and
ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end that were screened for validity by such services. One senior secured loan investment and one senior secured bond investment, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an
independent valuation firm, 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 and other
relevant terms of the debt. All of the Companys equity/other investments were valued by the same 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. The Company valued the total return swap, or TRS, between Del River and
Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, in accordance with the agreements which collectively establish the TRS and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS is based on the increase or
decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on
the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company for review and testing. The
Companys valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent
the Companys valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional
information on the TRS, see Note 8.

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the
third-party pricing services 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 to determine fair value for securities for which the Company cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through third-party pricing
services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. The Company will periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its
investments. The Companys valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Companys valuation process.

Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual
basis to the extent that it expects to collect such amounts. The Company records

dividend income on the ex-dividend date. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt its ability to collect such income.
Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and the Company amortizes such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan
origination fees are recorded as interest income. Upfront structuring fees are recorded as income when earned. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as interest income when it receives 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. The Company measures 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 upfront 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. Net change in unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency reflects the change in
the value of receivables or accruals during the reporting period due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee:The Company has entered into an investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FSIC
II Advisor, dated as of February 8, 2012, or the investment advisory and administrative serves 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 the investment advisory and administrative services agreement). Such fee will equal 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, 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 FSIC II 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, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid 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 FSIC II Advisor if the Companys entire portfolio
was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though FSIC II Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. During the year ended December 31,
2012, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $3,548 based on the performance of its portfolio, of which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains.

Organization Costs: Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of incorporating, including the cost of legal
services and other fees pertaining to the Companys organization. These costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011, the Company incurred
organization costs of $205 and $20, respectively, which were paid on behalf of the Company by Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or Franklin Square Holdings, an affiliate of FSIC II Advisor, and have been recorded as a contribution to capital (see Note
4).

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



Offering Costs: The Companys offering costs include, among other things,
legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Companys Registration Statements on Form N-2 relating to its continuous public offering of its shares of common stock. The Company has charged offering costs against capital in
excess of par value on the balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011, the Company incurred offering costs of $3,882 and $793, respectively, of which $2,184
and $793 were paid on behalf of the Company by Franklin Square Holdings and have been recorded as a contribution to capital (see Note 4).

Income Taxes: The Company intends to elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify for
and maintain RIC tax treatment, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income, which is generally the Companys net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. As a RIC, the Company will not have to pay corporate-level
federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to qualify for and maintain its RIC status each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. The
Company is also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of any capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid
no federal income taxes.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates its 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 the
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.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company did not incur any interest
or penalties.

The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax
years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Companys financial statements. The Companys federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of
limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Distributions: Distributions to the Companys stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to the discretion of
the Companys board of directors and applicable legal restrictions, the Company intends to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on either a semi-monthly or monthly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. Net realized
capital gains, if any, are distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This guidance represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting

Standards Board, or collectively, the Accounting Boards, on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Accounting Boards reflected in this guidance have resulted in common requirements
for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term fair value and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair
values. The Accounting Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial
Reporting Standards. The amendments to the FASB codification in this guidance are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company
has implemented this guidance and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, except for enhanced disclosures around fair value measurements.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the investment
advisory and administrative services agreement, FSIC II 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 incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated
and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of 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, as defined in the
investment advisory and administrative services agreement, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.5%. As a result, FSIC II Advisor will 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 1.875%. Once the Companys pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FSIC II Advisor will be 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 2.34375%, or 9.375% annually, of adjusted capital. This
catch-up feature allows FSIC II Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. 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 commenced accruing fees under the investment advisory and
administrative services agreement on June 18, 2012, upon commencement of the Companys operations. Management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the
Company accrued $3,315 in base management fees payable to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, $734 in base management fees were applied to offset the liability of Franklin Square Holdings, the
Companys sponsor and an affiliate of FSIC II Advisor, under the expense reimbursement agreement discussed below and $114 was paid to FSIC II Advisor by the Company. Of the $2,467 in base management fees accrued and payable as of
December 31, 2012, it is intended that $1,635 of such fees will be applied to offset the liability of Franklin Square Holdings under the expense reimbursement agreement as of December 31, 2012 and the balance, $832, will be paid to FSIC II
Advisor.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)



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 FSIC II 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. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees
of $3,548 based on the performance of its portfolio, of which $3,070 was based on unrealized gains and $478 was based on realized gains.

The Company reimburses FSIC II Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Companys administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of
(1) FSIC II 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.
FSIC II Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Companys board of directors then assesses the
reasonableness of such reimbursements 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 directors 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 directors compares the total amount paid
to FSIC II Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Companys net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs.

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of $396 attributable to FSIC II Advisor, of which $321 related to the
allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by FSIC II Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company
paid $215 of administrative services expenses to FSIC II Advisor. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $181 in administrative services expense payable to FSIC II Advisor.

Franklin Square Holdings funded offering costs and organization costs in the amount of $2,389 and $813 for the year ended
December 31, 2012 and for the period from July 13, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011, respectively. These costs have been recorded by the Company as a contribution to capital. The offering costs were offset against capital in
excess of par value on the consolidated financial statements and the organization costs were charged to expense as incurred by the Company (see Note 2). Since inception through December 31, 2012, Franklin Square Holdings has funded $3,202 in
offering and organization costs.

The dealer manager for the Companys continuous public offering is
FS2Capital Partners, LLC, which is one of the
Companys affiliates. During the year ended December 31, 2012, FS2Capital Partners, LLC retained $10,025 for selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of the Companys common stock.

Under the terms of the investment advisory and administrative services agreement, upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement,
FSIC II Advisor became entitled to receive 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in the Companys continuous public offering until all offering costs and organization costs funded by FSIC II Advisor or its affiliates (including Franklin Square
Holdings) have been recovered. On June 18, 2012, the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement. The Company paid total reimbursements of $3,202 to FSIC II

Advisor and its affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2012. The reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of capital. As of December 31, 2012, no amounts remain reimbursable to
FSIC II Advisor and its affiliates under this arrangement.

In December 2011, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, the
principals of FSIC II Advisor, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase 22,222 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share, which represents the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
The principals have agreed not to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains the Companys investment adviser.

In June 2012, pursuant to a private placement, Messrs. Forman and Adelman agreed to purchase, through affiliated entities, 222,222 additional shares of common stock at $9.00 per share. The principals
have agreed not to tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FSIC II Advisor remains the Companys investment adviser. In connection with the same private placement, certain members of the Companys board of directors
and other individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor agreed to purchase 1,247,267 shares of common stock, and certain individuals and entities affiliated with GDFM agreed to purchase 574,444 shares of common stock, in each case at a
price of $9.00 per share. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,043,933 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $18,395 upon satisfaction of the minimum offering requirement on June 18, 2012. As
of December 31, 2012, the Company has sold an aggregate of 2,291,098 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,659 to members of the Companys board of directors and individuals and entities affiliated with FSIC II Advisor
and GDFM, including shares of common stock sold in the private placement completed in June 2012.

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

Pursuant to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, dated as of May 10, 2012, or the expense reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings 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 stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders. Under those

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (continued)



circumstances, Franklin Square Holdings will not reimburse the Company for the portion of such distributions to stockholders 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 stockholders.

Under the expense
reimbursement agreement, Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse the Company for expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Companys cumulative distributions paid to its stockholders in each quarter, less the sum of the
Companys net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) in each quarter.

Pursuant to the expense
reimbursement agreement, the Company will have a conditional obligation to reimburse Franklin Square Holdings for any amounts funded by Franklin Square Holdings under such agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter
occurring within three years of the date on which Franklin Square Holdings funded such amount, the sum of the Companys net investment income for tax purposes, 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 income or net capital gains for tax purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to stockholders.

The Company or Franklin Square Holdings may terminate the expense reimbursement agreement at any time. Franklin Square
Holdings has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that the Company bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. If the
Company terminates the investment advisory and administrative services agreement with FSIC II Advisor, the Company will be required to repay Franklin Square Holdings all reimbursements funded by Franklin Square Holdings within three years of the
date of termination.

The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by Franklin Square Holdings, if any, will be determined at
the end of each quarter. Franklin Square Holdings 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 Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse any portion of the Companys expenses in future quarters.

During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company accrued $2,482 for reimbursements that Franklin Square Holdings has agreed to pay. As discussed more fully above, it
is intended that these reimbursements will be funded, in part, through the offset of management fees payable by the Company to FSIC II Advisor. During the period from June 18, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company received $113 in
cash reimbursements from Franklin Square Holdings and offset $734 in management fees payable by the Company to FSIC II Advisor under the investment advisory and administrative services agreement against reimbursements due from Franklin Square
Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $1,635 of reimbursements due from Franklin Square Holdings, which the Company expects to offset against management fees payable by the Company to FSIC II Advisor.

Under the expense reimbursement agreement, amounts reimbursed to the Company by Franklin Square Holdings may become subject to repayment
by the Company in the future. As of December 31, 2012, $2,482 of reimbursements may become subject to repayment by the Company to Franklin Square Holdings in the future.

Note 5. Distributions

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared and paid on its common stock during the year
ended December 31, 2012:



|                                |  |              |        |  |        |   |        |

|                                |  | Distribution |       
|For the Year Ended December 31, |  | Per Share    |        |  | Amount |  
|2012                            |  | $            | 0.3947 |  |        | $ | 10,320 | 

On January 14, 2013, the Companys board of directors declared a regular semi-monthly cash
distribution of $0.030964 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 15, 2013 and a regular semi-monthly cash distribution of $0.031115 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013, both of which were paid on
January 31, 2013. On January 29, 2013, the Companys board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which were paid on February 28, 2013 to stockholders of record on
February 15, 2013 and February 27, 2013, respectively. On March 14, 2013, the Companys board of directors declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.031266 per share each, which will be paid on March 29,
2013 to stockholders of record on March 15, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Companys
board of directors.

The Company has adopted an opt in distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a
result, if the Company makes a distribution, its stockholders 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 shares
of the Companys common stock.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds
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 Franklin Square Holdings. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make
distributions. During certain periods, the Companys distributions may exceed its earnings, especially during the period before the Company has substantially invested the proceeds from its continuous public offering. As a result, it is possible
that a portion of the distributions the Company makes will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholders investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the
Companys investment activities and will be made after deducting the fees and expenses payable in connection with its continuous public offering, including any fees payable to FSIC II Advisor. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying
the sources of the distributions (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in capital surplus, which is a nontaxable distribution) will be mailed to the Companys
stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a

|(1) | During the year ended December 31, 2012, 92% of the Companys gross investment income was attributable to cash interest earned and 8% was attributable to
non-cash accretion of discount.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Companys net investment income on a tax-basis for the year ended
December 31, 2012 was $7,334. The Company distributed all of its tax-basis net investment income earned as of December 31, 2012.

The difference between the Companys GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is due to the tax-basis deferral and amortization of organization costs incurred prior to
the commencement of the Companys operations, the reversal of the required accrual for GAAP purposes of incentive fees on unrealized gains even though no such incentive fees on unrealized gains are payable by the Company, the inclusion of a
portion of the periodic net settlement payments due on the total return swap in tax-basis net investment income and the accretion of discount on the total return swap. The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment
income and tax-basis net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2012:

The Company may make certain adjustments to the classification of stockholders equity as a result
of permanent book-to-tax differences. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reduced accumulated undistributed net realized gains on investments and total return swap and gain/loss on foreign currency by $1,063, and increased
accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income by $1,063, to reflect the reclassification of a portion of realized gains on the total return swap into tax-basis net investment income.

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 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.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)



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 December 31, 2012, the
Companys investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:



|                                            |  |                   |         |  |                   |   |       | 
|------------------------------------------- |  | ----------------- | ------- |  | ----------------- | - | ----- | 
|                                            |  | December 31, 2012 |        
|Valuation Inputs                            |  | Investments       |         |  | Total Return Swap |  
|Level 1Price quotations in active markets  |  | $                 |        |  |                   | $ |      | 
|Level 2Significant other observable inputs |  |                   |        |  |                   |   |      | 
|Level 3Significant unobservable inputs     |  |                   | 488,642 |  |                   |   | 5,641 | 
|                                            |  |                   |         |  |                   |   |       | 
|                                            |  | $                 | 488,642 |  |                   | $ | 5,641 | 
|                                            |  |                   |         |  |                   |   |       | 

The Companys investments as of December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of debt securities that
are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors. Except as described below, the Company valued its investments by using independent third-party pricing services, which provided prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers
on the date of the relevant period end that were screened for validity by such services. One senior secured loan investment and one senior secured bond investment, for which broker quotes were not available, were valued by an independent valuation
firm, 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 and other relevant terms of the
debt. All of the Companys equity/other investments were valued by the same 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. The Company valued the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the
value of the TRS is based on the increase or decrease in the value of the loans underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The loans underlying the TRS are valued by
Citibank. Citibank bases its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to the Company
for review and testing. The Companys valuation committee and board of directors review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the loans underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net
asset value. To the extent the Companys valuation committee or board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the loans underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of
the TRS. For additional information on the Companys TRS, see Note 8.

The Company periodically benchmarks the bid and
ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing services 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 to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain prevailing bid and ask prices through
third-party pricing services or independent dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)



The Company will periodically benchmark the valuations provided by the independent valuation firm against the actual prices at which it purchases and sells its investments. The Companys
valuation committee and board of directors reviewed and approved the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Companys valuation process.

The following is a reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2012 of investments for which significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Note 8. Total Return Swap

On July 2, 2012, Del River entered into a TRS for a portfolio of senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank. On
September 12, 2012, Del River entered into an amendment to the TRS to increase the maximum aggregate market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS from $100,000 to $175,000; on September 27, 2012, Del River entered into a
second amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $175,000 to $275,000; on November 15, 2012, Del River entered into a third amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $275,000 to $375,000; and on December 13, 2012, Del River
entered into a fourth amendment to the TRS to increase this amount from $375,000 to $425,000.

A TRS is a contract in which
one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in
return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing
directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The TRS with Citibank enables the Company, through its ownership of Del River, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the loans subject to the TRS, without actually owning them, in return for an
interest-type payment to Citibank. As such, the TRS is analogous to Del River borrowing funds to acquire loans and incurring interest expense to a lender.

The obligations of Del River under the TRS are non-recourse to the Company and the Companys exposure under the TRS is limited to the value of the Companys investment in Del River, which
generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Del River under the TRS. Pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum aggregate market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes
subject to the TRS) of $425,000. Del River is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in
the TRS Agreement. Under the terms of the TRS, Del River has agreed not to draw upon, or post as collateral, such cash collateral in respect of other financings or operating requirements prior to the termination of the TRS. Neither the cash
collateral required to be posted with Citibank nor any other assets of Del River are available to pay the debts of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement that the Company has entered into with Del River, the Company acts as the
manager of the rights and obligations of Del River under the TRS, including selecting the specific loans to be included in the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Accordingly, the loans selected by Del River for purposes of the TRS are selected
by the Company in accordance with its investment objectives and strategy to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the TRS, Del River may select any loan or obligation
available in the market to be included in the portfolio of loans that meets the obligation criteria set forth in the TRS Agreement.

Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement, including a requirement that substantially all of the loans underlying the TRS be
rated by Moodys Investors Service, or Moodys, and Standard & Poors Corporation, or S&P, and quoted by a nationally-recognized pricing service. Under the terms of the TRS, Citibank, as calculation agent, determines
whether there has been a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria in the TRS. If such failure continues for 30 days following the

Note 8. Total Return Swap (continued)



delivery of notice thereof, then Citibank has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the TRS. Del River receives from Citibank all interest and fees payable in respect of the loans
included in the portfolio. Del River pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.25% per annum on the full notional amount of the loans subject to the TRS. In addition, upon the
termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Del River will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Under the terms of the TRS, Del River may be required to post additional cash collateral, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the event of
depreciation in the value of the underlying loans after such value decreases below a specified amount. The limit on the additional collateral that Del River may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to the difference between the full
notional amount of the loans underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Del River. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Del River is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying
loans.

The Company has no contractual obligation to post any such additional collateral or to make any interest payments to
Citibank. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its equity investment in Del River for the purpose of funding any additional collateral or payment obligations for which Del River may become obligated during the term of the TRS. If the
Company does not make any such additional investment in Del River and Del River fails to meet its obligations under the TRS, then Citibank will have the right to terminate the TRS and seize the cash collateral posted by Del River under the TRS. In
the event of an early termination of the TRS, Del River would be required to pay an early termination fee.

Citibank may
terminate the TRS on or after July 2, 2013, the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. Del River may terminate the TRS at any time upon providing no more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior notice to Citibank. Any
termination prior to the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank based on the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will
equal the present value of a stream of monthly payments which would be owed by Del River to Citibank for the period from the termination date through and including July 2, 2013. Such monthly payments will equal the product of (x) 85%,
multiplied by (y) the aggregate notional amount of the TRS ($425,000 as of December 31, 2012), multiplied by (z) 1.25% per annum. If the TRS had been terminated as of December 31, 2012, Del River would have been required to
pay an early termination fee of approximately $2,166. Other than during the first 90 days and last 30 days of the term of the TRS, Del River is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS.

The value of the TRS is based primarily on the valuation of the underlying portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. Pursuant to the terms
of the TRS, on each business day, Citibank values each underlying loan in good faith on a mark-to-market basis by determining how much Citibank would receive on such date if it sold the loan in the open market. Citibank reports the mark-to-market
values of the underlying loans to Del River. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the TRS was $5,641. The fair value of the TRS is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap on the consolidated balance
sheets. The change in value of the TRS is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swap. As of December 31, 2012, Del River had selected 97 underlying loans
with a total notional amount of $383,742 and posted $97,441 in cash collateral held by Citibank (of which only $96,251 was required to be posted), which is reflected in due from counterparty on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 8. Total Return Swap (continued)



The Company incurred costs of $20 in connection with obtaining the TRS, which the
Company has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheets and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the TRS. As of December 31, 2012, $10 of such deferred financing costs have yet to be amortized to interest
expense.

For purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company as a BDC, the Company treats the outstanding
notional amount of the TRS, less the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Del River under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the
future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Further, for purposes
of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, the Company treats each loan underlying the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such loan is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio
company. The Company may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Note 9. Share Repurchase Program

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



| |  |  | the liquidity of its 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 shares of common stock or portions thereof; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the condition of the securities markets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

The Company currently intends to limit the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares of common stock it can repurchase with the proceeds it
receives from the sale of shares of common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Companys board of directors, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of
securities investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares of common stock. In addition, the Company will limit the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares of common stock that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted above. The Company
intends to offer to repurchase such shares of common stock on each date of repurchase at a price equal to 90% of the offering price in effect on each date of repurchase. The Companys board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the
repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days notice. The first such tender offer commenced in August 2012.

The
following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock repurchased by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2012:

Note 10. Repurchase Transaction

On February 6, 2013, through its
two newly formed, wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, Lehigh River and Cobbs Creek, the Company entered into an amendment, or the February 2013 amendment, to its conventional debt financing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., London Branch, or JPM, which was originally entered into on October 26, 2012. The February 2013 amendment, among other



122

Note 10. Repurchase Transaction (continued)



things: (i) increased the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $150,000 to $300,000 and (ii) extended the final repurchase date under the financing arrangement
from November 20, 2016 to February 20, 2017. 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 be available through
alternate arrangements.

Pursuant to the financing transaction, the Company may sell from time to time loans in its portfolio
having an aggregate market value of approximately $640,000 ($316,500 prior to the February 2013 amendment) to Lehigh River pursuant to an amended and restated asset transfer agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between the Company and
Lehigh River, or the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Lehigh Asset Transfer Agreement, as of February 6, 2013, the Company had sold loans to Lehigh River for a purchase price of approximately
$202,300, all of which consisted of the issuance to the Company of equity interests in Lehigh River. It is expected that the aggregate amount of loans held by Lehigh River when the financing arrangement is fully-ramped will be approximately
$640,000.

The loans held by Lehigh River will secure the obligations of Lehigh River under Class A Floating Rate Notes,
or the Class A Notes, to be issued from time to time by Lehigh River to Cobbs Creek pursuant to an amended and restated indenture, dated as of February 6, 2013, with Citibank, as trustee, or the Amended and Restated Indenture. Pursuant to
the Amended and Restated Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes that may be issued by Lehigh River from time to time is $360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Principal on the Class A Notes will be
due and payable on the stated maturity date of February 20, 2024 (November 20, 2023 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Interest on the Class A Notes accrues at three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Cobbs Creek
will purchase the Class A Notes to be issued by Lehigh River from time to time at a purchase price equal to their par value.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, Lehigh River has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary
requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar transactions, the Amended and Restated Indenture contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments on the
Class A Notes at their stated maturity or redemption date, or to make interest payments on the Class A Notes within five business days of when due; (b) the failure of the aggregate outstanding principal balance (subject to certain
reductions) of the loans securing the Class A Notes to be at least 147.07% of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes; and (c) GDFM ceasing to be the sub-adviser to the Companys investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor.

Cobbs Creek, in turn, has entered into a repurchase transaction with JPM pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated
master repurchase agreement and the related annex and amended and restated confirmation thereto, each dated as of February 6, 2013, or collectively, the JPM Facility. Pursuant to the JPM Facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time
Class A Notes held by Cobbs Creek for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 83.33% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Class A Notes that may
be purchased under the JPM Facility is $360,000 ($180,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment). Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time to Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility will not exceed $300,000 ($150,000 prior to the February 2013
amendment). Under the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek will, on a quarterly basis, repurchase the Class A Notes sold to JPM under the JPM Facility and subsequently resell such Class A Notes to JPM. The final repurchase



123

Note 10. Repurchase Transaction (continued)



transaction must occur no later than February 20, 2017 (November 20, 2016 prior to the February 2013 amendment). The repurchase price paid by Cobbs Creek to JPM for each repurchase of the
Class A Notes will be equal to the purchase price paid by JPM for such Class A Notes, plus interest thereon accrued at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. Commencing February 20, 2015, Cobbs Creek is permitted to reduce (based on
certain thresholds) the aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes subject to the JPM Facility. Such reductions, and any other reductions of the principal amount of Class A Notes, including upon an event of default, will be subject to
breakage fees in an amount equal to the present value of 1.25% per annum over the remaining term of the JPM Facility applied to the amount of such reduction.

If at any time during the term of the JPM Facility the market value of the loans held by Lehigh River securing the Class A Notes declines by an amount greater than 27% of their initial aggregate
purchase price, or the Margin Threshold, Cobbs Creek will be required to post cash collateral with JPM in an amount at least equal to the amount by which the market value of such loans at such time is less than the Margin Threshold. In such event,
in order to satisfy any such margin-posting requirements, Cobbs Creek intends to borrow funds from the Company pursuant to an amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between Cobbs Creek, as borrower, and
the Company, as lender, or the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make such loans from time to time to Cobbs Creek pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% per annum.

In connection with the JPM Facility, the Company may sell from time to time loans in its portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $180,000 ($90,000 prior to the February 2013 amendment)
to Cobbs Creek pursuant to an amended and restated asset transfer agreement, dated as of February 6, 2013, between the Company and Cobbs Creek, or the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement. The loans purchased by Cobbs Creek from
the Company will secure the obligations of Cobbs Creek under the JPM Facility. Under the Amended and Restated Cobbs Asset Transfer Agreement, the Company had sold loans to Cobbs Creek for a purchase price of approximately $35,700, all of which
consisted of the issuance to the Company of equity interests in Cobbs Creek.

Pursuant to the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek has
made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default included in similar
transactions, the JPM Facility contains the following events of default: (a) the failure to pay the repurchase price upon the applicable payment dates; (b) the failure to post required cash collateral with JPM as discussed above; and
(c) the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Indenture.

In connection with the Class A
Notes and the Amended and Restated Indenture, Lehigh River also entered into a collateral management agreement with the Company, as collateral manager, dated as of October 26, 2012 and amended as of February 6, 2013, pursuant to which the
Company will manage the assets of Lehigh River, and a collateral administration agreement with Virtus Group, LP, or Virtus, as collateral administrator, and the Company, as collateral manager, dated as of October 26, 2012 and amended as of
February 6, 2013, pursuant to which Virtus will perform certain administrative services with respect to the assets of Lehigh River. In connection with the JPM Facility, Cobbs Creek also entered into a collateral management agreement with the

Note 10. Repurchase Transaction (continued)



Company, as collateral manager, dated as of October 26, 2012, pursuant to which the Company will manage the assets of Cobbs Creek.

As of December 31, 2012, Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $141,000 had been purchased by Cobbs Creek from
Lehigh River and subsequently sold to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $117,500. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of loans held by Lehigh River was $270,119, which included loans purchased by Lehigh River with
proceeds from the issuance of Class A Notes. The Company funded each purchase of Class A Notes by Cobbs Creek through a capital contribution to Cobbs Creek. As of December 31, 2012, Cobbs Creeks liability under the JPM Facility
was $117,500, plus $274 of accrued interest expense. The Class A Notes issued by Lehigh River and purchased by Cobbs Creek eliminate in consolidation on the Companys financial statements.

On February 6, 2013, Lehigh River issued and sold to Cobbs Creek an additional $39,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A
Notes and Cobbs Creek sold such Class A Notes to JPM under the JPM Facility for aggregate proceeds of $32,500. During the 180-day period following February 6, 2013, Lehigh River intends to issue and sell to Cobbs Creek an additional
$180,000 in aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes and Cobbs Creek intends to enter into additional repurchase transactions under the JPM Facility with respect to such Class A Notes.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred costs of $159 in connection with obtaining the JPM Facility, which the Company has
recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated balance sheet and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the JPM Facility. As of December 31, 2012, $152 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest
expense.

The effective interest rate on the borrowings under the JPM Facility was 3.25% as of December 31, 2012.
Interest is paid quarterly in arrears and commenced in February of 2013. The Company recorded interest expense of $281 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes commitment fees on the unused portion of the JPM Facility, and $7
related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company paid $0 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. The average borrowings under the JPM Facility for the period from October 26, 2012 through
December 31, 2012 were $44,230, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.25%.

Amounts outstanding under the JPM
Facility will be considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

|(2) | The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the period.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of common stock in the Companys
continuous public offering and pursuant to the Companys distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common stock at an offering price, net of sales 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 repurchases of common stock is a reduction to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the period. Offering costs, reimbursement to investment
adviser and capital contributions of investment adviser were calculated as a percentage of weighted average shares outstanding during the periods in which those amounts were incurred by the Company.

|(4) | The 2012 total return was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2012, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared
during the calendar year and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the period. The total return does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Companys common stock. The total return
includes the effect of the issuance of 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 rate 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 as calculated above represents the total return on the Companys investment portfolio during such period and is calculated in accordance with GAAP. This return figure does not represent an actual return to stockholders.

December 31, 2012. This is due to changes in the number of weighted-average shares outstanding and the effects of rounding for each period.
