Your vote is needed! Our Board of Directors recommends that you respond to this solicitation by voting FOR the proposals in the enclosed proxy materials. Dear Fellow Stockholder: We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held virtually on June 5, 2026. Your participation is needed to approve the proposals outlined in the enclosed proxy statement. We kindly request that you review these materials carefully and cast your vote by proxy in advance of the meeting date to ensure that a quorum is reached. In addition to asking shareholders to elect directors, you will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to authorize the company, with approval of the Board of Directors, to sell or otherwise issue shares of FBCC common stock at a price below its then current net asset value ("NAV") per share, provided that number of shares issued does not exceed 25% of its then outstanding common stock. While we have no immediate plans to issue any shares of common stock below NAV, we are seeking shareholder approval now in order to provide flexibility in the future to issue shares of its common stock below NAV per share, which typically must be undertaken quickly. Your vote and participation are very important to us, no matter how many or few shares you own. We encourage you to vote your shares using any one of the methods described below. Your prompt response will help us meet stockholder approval requirements before the meeting, thereby reducing the risk of postponement and additional solicitation costs.
