Dear Shareholder:

The enclosed proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") discusses a proposal to be voted upon by the shareholders ("Shareholders") of FS Credit Income Fund (the "Fund") at a special meeting of Shareholders to be held at the offices of the Fund at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19112, on August 4, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the "Meeting"). Shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 18, 2025 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The Meeting is being called for Shareholders to vote on a proposal (the "Proposal") to elect two (2) individuals to the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") and to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting. The Fund's current Trustees, a majority of whom are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund, have unanimously recommended that the Proposal be submitted to Shareholders for approval at the Meeting. The enclosed Proxy Statement contains additional information about the Proposal.

All Shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting. In order to avoid delay and additional expense and to assure that your shares are represented, please vote as promptly as possible, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting.

You may vote at the Meeting in-person or by proxy by mail, telephone or over the Internet. Even if you plan to attend and vote in person at the Meeting, please promptly follow the directions in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and this proxy statement to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card that you receive, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope. If you attend the Meeting in-person, you may revoke your proxy and vote your shares in-person.

 **Thank you for your investment in the Fund. I encourage you to exercise your rights in governing the Fund by voting on the Proposal. The Board unanimously recommends that you cast your vote <u>FOR</u> the Proposal to elect each proposed individual as a Trustee of the Fund, as described in the Proxy Statement.** 

Sincerely,

/s/ Michael C. Forman

Michael C. Forman <br>President, Chief Executive Officer and Trustee <br>(Principal Executive Officer)

#### IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Q. <br>

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A. <br>

You are being asked to vote on a proposal ("Proposal") to elect two (2) individuals to the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of FS Credit Income Fund (the "Fund"). The current Trustees of the Fund, a majority of whom are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")), have unanimously recommended that each proposed individual be submitted to the Fund's shareholders for election at the special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting"). The 1940 Act requires a certain percentage of the Trustees of the Fund to have been elected by shareholders and that such elections occur before the Board can appoint any new Trustee to fill vacancies or expand the Board. The Board recommends that you vote for the Proposal to elect one new Trustee and one current Trustee of the Fund and to facilitate future compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

Q. <br>

Who is eligible to vote?

A. <br>

Any person who owned shares of the Fund on the "Record Date," which was June 18, 2025.

Q. <br>

Who are the nominees proposed for election as Trustees?

A. <br>

Standing for election to the Board are two nominees, Jack Markell and Tyson A. Pratcher (together, the "Trustee Nominees"). Mr. Pratcher (the "Incumbent Trustee") has served as a Trustee, who is not an "interested person" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) under the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustee"), of the Fund since March 9, 2021. Information about Mr. Markell and Mr. Pratcher is set forth in the enclosed proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement").

Q. <br>

How many of the proposed individuals will be Independent Trustees if elected?

A. <br>

Mr. Pratcher currently serves as an Independent Trustee of the Fund. If elected by shareholders, Mr. Markell will also be an Independent Trustee of the Fund. Independent Trustees play a critical role in overseeing Fund operations and representing the interests of shareholders.

Q. <br>

When will the new Trustee take office?

A. <br>

The Incumbent Trustee, Mr. Pratcher, is currently a Trustee of the Fund and is expected to continue serving as a Trustee regardless of whether he is elected by shareholders at the Meeting. If elected by shareholders at the Meeting, it is expected that Mr. Markell will assume the role of Trustee of the Fund shortly after the Meeting.

Q. <br>

How long will each Trustee serve?

A. <br>

If elected, each Trustee Nominee will serve for a term of indefinite duration until his successor is duly elected and qualified. If a Trustee Nominee should be unable to serve, an event that is not currently anticipated, shareholders will vote for such replacement Trustee Nominee as may be designated by the Board.

Q. <br>

Will the Fund pay for the proxy solicitation and related legal costs?

A. <br>

Yes. These costs will be borne by the Fund.

Q. <br>

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

A. <br>

The current members of the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, recommend that you vote in favor of the Proposal.

Q. <br>

What shareholder vote is required for the Trustee Nominees to the Board to be approved?

A. <br>

If a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to approve the Proposal. A "plurality of votes cast" means that those nominees receiving the two highest numbers of affirmative votes cast, whether or not such votes constitute a majority, will be elected at the Meeting. For purposes of electing Trustees, abstentions will have the effect of a "no" vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the Proposal, and broker "non-votes" will not count as votes cast.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Q. <br>

I have only a few shares — does my vote matter?

A. <br>

Your vote is important. If many shareholders choose not to vote, the Fund might not receive enough votes to reach a quorum to hold the Meeting. If it appears that there will not be a quorum, the Fund would have to send additional mailings or otherwise solicit shareholders to try to obtain more votes.

Q. <br>

What is the deadline for submitting my vote?

A. <br>

We encourage you to vote as soon as possible to make sure that the Fund receives enough votes to act on the Proposal. Unless you attend the Meeting to vote in-person, your vote (cast by Internet, telephone or paper proxy card as described below) must be received by the Fund for the Meeting by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on August 3, 2025.

Q. <br>

How can I vote?

A. <br>

You may vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy in accordance with the instructions provided below. You may also authorize a proxy by telephone or through the Internet using the toll-free telephone number or web address printed on your proxy card. Authorizing a proxy by telephone or through the Internet requires you to input the control number located on your proxy card. After inputting the control number, you will be prompted to direct your proxy to vote on each proposal. You will have an opportunity to review your directions and make any necessary changes before submitting your directions and terminating the telephone call or Internet link. Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to one vote for each share held.

When voting by proxy and mailing your proxy card, you are required to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • indicate your instructions on the proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • date and sign the proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • mail the proxy card promptly in the envelope provided, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • allow sufficient time for the proxy card to be received by the Fund for the Meeting by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on August 3, 2025.

 **The Fund's proxy statement and the proxy card are available at *www.proxyvote.com*. If you plan on attending the Meeting and voting your shares in person, you will need to bring photo identification in order to be admitted to the Meeting. If your shares are held through a broker and you attend the Meeting in person, please bring a letter from your broker identifying you as the beneficial owner of the shares and authorizing you to vote your shares at the Meeting. To obtain directions to the Meeting, please call the Fund at (215) 495-1150.** 

We encourage you to vote via the Internet or telephone using the control number on your proxy card and following the simple instructions because these methods result in the most efficient means of transmitting your vote and reduce the need for the Fund to conduct telephone solicitations and/or follow up mailings. If you would like to change your previous vote, you may vote again using any of the methods described above.

Q. <br>

How should I sign the proxy card?

A. <br>

You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. Unless you have instructed otherwise, either owner of a joint account may sign the card, but again, the owner must sign the name exactly as it appears on the card. The proxy card for accounts of which the signer is not the owner should be signed in a way that indicates the signer's authority — for example, "Mary Smith, Custodian."

#### PART 1 <br> DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 1 <br> ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Shareholders of the Fund are being asked to vote on a proposal to elect two proposed individuals to the Board. One of the proposed individuals currently serves as a Trustee of the Fund (the "Incumbent Trustee") and is standing for election at the Meeting. One of the proposed individuals does not currently serve as a Trustee of the Fund (together with the Incumbent Trustee, the "Trustee Nominees") and is standing for election to the office of Trustee of the Fund at the Meeting.

Mr. Tyson A. Pratcher is standing for election as a Trustee of the Fund and is an Incumbent Trustee. Mr. Pratcher was appointed as a Trustee of the Fund by the Board to fill a vacancy on March 9, 2021. Mr. Jack Markell is not currently a Trustee of the Fund. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") requires a certain percentage of the Trustees to have been elected by shareholders and that such elections occur before the Board can appoint any new Trustee to fill vacancies or expand the Board. To properly seat and elect the Trustee Nominees as Trustees of the Fund and to facilitate future compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Board recommends that Shareholders elect Mr. Pratcher and Mr. Markell as Trustees of the Fund.

Mr. Pratcher and Mr. Markell are not considered to be "interested persons" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund ("Independent Trustees"). If elected by Shareholders, Mr. Pratcher and Mr. Markell will be Independent Trustees of the Fund.

The Incumbent Trustee, Mr. Pratcher, is expected to continue serving as a Trustee of the Fund regardless of whether he is elected by Shareholders at the Meeting. If elected, it is expected that Mr. Markell will assume the role of Trustee of the Fund shortly after the Meeting.

The Trustee Nominees have consented to stand for election and to serve if elected. If elected, the Trustee Nominees will hold office until his successor is duly elected and qualified pursuant to the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust. If the Trustee Nominees should be unable to serve, an event that is not currently anticipated, Shareholders will vote for a replacement Trustee Nominee as may be designated by the Board.

Information regarding the Trustee Nominees, including brief biographical information, is set forth below.

Michael C. Forman serves as chairman of the Board and is not an Independent Trustee by virtue of his relationship with FS Credit Income Advisor. The Board feels that Mr. Forman, as the Fund's co-founder and chief executive officer, is the Trustee with the most knowledge of the Fund's business strategy and is best situated to serve as chairman of the Board. The Board does not currently have a lead independent trustee, and each Independent Trustee plays an active role on the Board. The Independent Trustees are expected to meet separately in executive session as often as necessary to exercise their oversight responsibilities. The Board believes that its leadership structure is the optimal structure for the Fund at this time given the Fund's current size and complexity. The Board, which reviews its leadership structure periodically, further believes that its structure is presently appropriate to enable it to exercise its oversight of the Fund.

#### Board Role in Risk Oversight
Through its direct oversight role, and indirectly through its committees, the Board performs a risk oversight function for the Fund consisting of, among other things, the following activities: (i) at regular and special Board meetings, and on an ad hoc basis as needed, receiving and reviewing reports related to the Fund's performance and operations; (ii) reviewing and approving, as applicable, the Fund's compliance policies and procedures; (iii) meeting with members of FS Credit Income Advisor's management team to review investment strategies, techniques and the processes used to manage related risks; (iv) meeting with, or reviewing reports prepared by, the representatives of key service providers, including FS Credit Income Advisor and the Fund's administrator, distributor, transfer agent, custodian and independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss the Fund's activities and to provide direction with respect thereto; and (v) engaging the services of the Fund's chief compliance officer to test the compliance procedures of the Fund and its service providers. However, not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified or processes and controls developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and some risks are beyond the control of the Fund and its service providers.

#### Board Meetings and Committees
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Board met eight times. Each Trustee attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and the Audit Committee held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

In addition to serving on the Board, Trustees may also serve on one or more of the following committees which have been established by the Board to handle certain designated responsibilities. The Board has

designated a chairman of each committee. Subject to applicable law, the Board may establish additional committees, change the membership of any committee, fill all vacancies and designate alternate members to replace any absent or disqualified member of any committee, or to dissolve any committee as it deems necessary and in the Fund's best interest.

#### Audit Committee
The audit committee is responsible for selecting, engaging and discharging the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, approving professional services provided by the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm (including compensation therefor), reviewing the independence of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the adequacy of the Fund's internal controls over financial reporting and overseeing and monitoring issues related to cybersecurity impacting the Fund. The audit committee of the Board also establishes policies and procedures regarding the valuation of the Fund's investments. The members of the audit committee are Holly E. Flanagan, Brian R. Ford and Tyson A. Pratcher, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Ford serves as the chairman of the audit committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Ford is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined under SEC rules. The audit committee met eight times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Fund provides the Audit Committee charter on its website, which can be found here: FS Investments. However, a copy of the Audit Committee charter is also attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A.

#### Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee selects and nominates Trustees for membership on the Board, selects nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee thereof, develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates suggested by its members and other Trustees, as well as the Fund's management and Shareholders. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should submit such recommendations to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive office of the Fund, who will forward the recommendations to the committee for consideration. The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Holly E. Flanagan and Brian R. Ford. Ms. Flanagan serves as the chairwoman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Fund does not provide the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter on a website, but a copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit B.

#### Report of the Audit Committee
In discharging its duties, during the 2024 fiscal year, the Audit Committee met with and held discussions with management and with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"). Management is responsible for the Fund's internal controls over financial reporting, the financial reporting process and preparation of the Fund's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Ernst & Young is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Fund's financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Fund's financial statements with U.S. GAAP. The Audit Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), as amended. Ernst & Young provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526, *Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence*, and the Audit Committee discussed with representatives of Ernst & Young their firm's independence with respect to the Fund.

------

Shareholders are reminded, however, that the members of the Audit Committee are not necessarily professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting. Members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and Ernst & Young. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audits of the Fund's financial statements have been carried out in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP or that the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm is, in fact, "independent."

The Audit Committee's review and discussions of the audited financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 with Fund management and Ernst & Young occurred prior to the issuance of Ernst & Young's opinion on the financial statements and also at the Fund's Audit Committee meeting held on December 11, 2024. At that meeting, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board to ratify the inclusion of the audited financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 in the annual report of the Fund. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and received written affirmation of their independence pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526.

#### Compensation Information

 *Pre-approval Policies and Procedures; Adviser Affiliates* 

The Board's Audit Committee has adopted, and the Board has approved, a Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services (the "Policy"), which is intended to comply with Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X and sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Fund when retaining an auditor to perform audit, audit-related, tax and other services for the Fund. The Policy permits such services to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to either a general pre-approval or specific pre-approval. Unless a type of service provided by the auditor has received general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All services described in this section were pre-approved before the engagement by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(A) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. Consequently, none of such services were required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 *Aggregate Non-Audit Fees* 

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by Ernst & Young for services rendered to the Fund, FS Credit Income Advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with FS Credit Income Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 were $0 and $0, respectively.

#### Appraisal Rights
Shareholders do not have any appraisal rights in connection with this proposal.

#### Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a plurality of shares of the Fund will be required to elect each of the proposed individuals as Trustees. This means that, provided a quorum is present, the two proposed individuals who receive the highest number of votes cast at the Meeting will be elected as Trustees. The proposed individuals will be elected even if they receive approval from less than a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting. Because they are running unopposed, the two proposed individuals are expected to be elected as Trustees, as all individuals who receive votes in favor will be elected, while votes not cast, or votes to withhold, will have no effect on the election outcome.

#### PART 3 <br> INFORMATION ON PROXY VOTING AND THE OPERATION OF THE MEETING

#### Who is Eligible to Vote
Shareholders of record of the Fund as of the close of business on June 18, 2025 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof. Each whole share is entitled to one vote on each matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless revoked before or at the Meeting, will be voted according to the Shareholder's instructions. If you sign a proxy, but do not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted to approve the Proposal. If any other business comes before the Meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies.

#### Proposals by Shareholders
Under the Fund's Declaration of Trust, the Fund is not required to hold annual meetings of Shareholders. The Fund only expects to hold Shareholder meetings to the extent required by the 1940 Act or pursuant to special meetings called by the Board or a majority of Shareholders, or in the future in compliance with the requirements of any exchange on which Shares may be listed in the future.

#### Proxies, Quorum and Voting at the Meeting
Shareholders may use the proxy card provided if they are unable to attend the Meeting in-person or wish to have their shares voted by a proxy even if they do attend the Meeting. Any Shareholder that has given a proxy to someone has the power to revoke that proxy at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation to the secretary of the Fund. The Fund's secretary is Mr. Stephen S. Sypherd, and he may be reached at the following address: c/o FS Credit Income Fund, 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112. In addition, although mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a proxy, a Shareholder present at the Meeting may withdraw a previously submitted proxy and vote in-person.

All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxies. If no instruction is given on a received proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented thereby in favor of the Proposal described herein and will use their best judgment to vote on such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

*Telephonic Voting*. You may authorize a proxy by telephone using the toll-free telephone number printed on your proxy card. Authorizing a proxy by telephone requires you to input the control number located on your proxy card. After inputting the control number, you will be prompted to direct your proxy to vote on each proposal. You will have an opportunity to review your directions and make any necessary changes before submitting your directions and terminating the telephone call. Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to one vote for each share held.

*Internet Voting*. Shareholders may submit an "electronic" proxy over the Internet in lieu of returning each executed proxy card. In order to use this voting feature, Shareholders should go online at www.proxyvote.com, which is also indicated on the Shareholder's proxy card<u>,</u> and enter the control number set forth on the proxy card. Shareholders will be prompted to follow a simple set of instructions, which will appear on the website. After inputting the control number, you will be prompted to direct your proxy to vote on each proposal.

#### Quorum
The holders of one-third of the shares of the Fund present in-person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled

12 <br>

------

to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be counted as present. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" will not count as votes cast.

If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the Proposal are not received, Shareholders may vote to adjourn that Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies. Any adjournment may be held without the necessity of further notice. A Shareholder vote may be taken on one or more proposals prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes for its approval have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Such vote will be considered final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal.

As provided in the Fund's Declaration of Trust, if the Trustee Nominees receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting, they shall be elected as Trustees of the Fund.

#### Method of Solicitation and Expenses
Your vote is being solicited by the Board of the Fund. The cost of soliciting proxies, including the costs related to the solicitation of Shareholders, printing, mailing and tabulation of proxies and the fees of the proxy soliciting agent, will be borne by the Fund. The Fund has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc., a professional proxy solicitation firm, to serve as the proxy soliciting and tabulation agent for the Meeting and estimates such fees to be approximately $20,000. Those fees do not reflect the costs associated with printing and mailing of the proxy materials and the costs associated with reimbursing brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners and soliciting them to execute proxies. The Fund expects that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, telephone, electronic or other means of communication. If the Fund does not receive your proxy by a certain time, you may receive a telephone call from the proxy soliciting agent asking you to vote.

#### Procedures for Shareholder Communications with the Board
Shareholders may send communications to the Board. Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board by addressing the communication directly to the Board (or individual Trustee(s)) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the communication is for the Board (or individual Trustee(s)) and by sending the communication to the Fund's offices at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112. Other Shareholder communications received by the Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

#### Other Business
While the Meeting has been called to transact any business that may properly come before it, the only matters that the Board intends to present is the matter stated in the attached Notice of the Meeting of Shareholders. However, if any additional matters properly come before the Meeting, and on all matters incidental to the conduct of the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters unless instructed to the contrary.

#### CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

#### ADOPTED AS OF DECEMBER 2024
The board of trustees (the "***Board***") of FS Credit Income Fund, (the "***Company***") has determined that the Audit Committee of the Board (the "***Committee***") shall assist the Board in fulfilling certain of the Board's oversight responsibilities. This Audit Committee Charter (this "***Charter***") establishes the governing principles of the Committee.

I. <br>

#### Purposes
<u>Accounting and Financial Purposes:</u> 

The purpose of the Committee is to serve as an independent and objective party to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of its financial statements and issues related to cybersecurity impacting the Company by overseeing and monitoring:

1) <br>

The quality and integrity of financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to governmental bodies or the public and the independent audit thereof;

2) <br>

The preparation of the disclosure required by Item 407(d)(3)(i) of Regulation S-K ("***Regulation S-K***"), promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***");

3) <br>

The Company's system of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and regulatory compliance;

4) <br>

The material aspects of the Company's accounting and financial reporting process generally;

5) <br>

The independence, qualifications and performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm (the "***Independent Accountants***"), including the lead audit partner;

6) <br>

The compliance by the Company with applicable legal and regulatory requirements;

7) <br>

The performance of the Company's internal audit function and the Independent Accountants; and

8) <br>

The Company's cybersecurity matters.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in Section V of this Charter.

<u>Valuation Purposes:</u> 

The Committee has also been established by the Board for the purpose of establishing guidelines and making recommendations to the Board regarding the valuation of the Company's investments. As permitted by Rule 2a-5, Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value ("Rule 2a-5"), the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser, FS Credit Income Advisor, LLC (the "**Adviser**") as the "Valuation Designee" with day-to-day responsibility for implementing the portfolio valuation process set forth in the Valuation Designee's (Adviser's) Valuation Policy. The primary functions of the valuation services of the Committee are to: (1) assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility of overseeing the process of valuing the Company's investments; and (2) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Committee. The responsibility to determine the fair value of the Company's investments is that of either the full Board or, where the Board has designated FS Credit Income Advisor, LLC as **Valuation Designee**, the Adviser. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Committee shall also assist the Board in overseeing the process employed by the Valuation Designee (Adviser) to determine in good faith the fair value of the Company's investments.

A-1 <br>

------

In fulfilling its duties and responsibilities under this Charter, the Committee is ultimately accountable to the full Board. In order to fulfill its oversight responsibility on behalf of the Board, the Committee must be capable of conducting free and open discussions with and thus have unrestricted access to the Company's management ("**Management**"), personnel of the Company's Valuation Designee (Adviser) and any investment sub-adviser (if applicable), and their respective affiliates, and any independent third-party pricing or valuation services ("**Valuation Service Providers**"), legal counsel and independent accountants utilized by the Valuation Designee (Adviser) in relation to the valuation process carried out by the Valuation Designee (Adviser), when deemed necessary.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in **Annex A** attached hereto.

II. <br>

#### Scope
While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate or prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("***GAAP***"). The responsibility to plan and conduct audits is that of the Independent Accountants. In fulfilling their responsibility, the Independent Accountants are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee. The Company's Management has the responsibility to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate and prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is also not the duty of the Committee to provide assurance of the Company's compliance with laws and regulations or compliance with the Company's *Code of Business Conduct and Ethics*. The primary responsibility for these matters also rests with the Company's Management.

The responsibility for determining the fair value of the Company's investments is that of the Board. Therefore, in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities under this Charter as they relate to the valuation services of the Committee, the Committee is ultimately accountable to the full Board. In discharging these responsibilities, the Committee may use independent third-party pricing services and independent third-party valuation services that have been approved by the Board (collectively, the "Valuation Service Providers"). The Committee shall not be required to determine the fair value of the Company's investments in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and the Committee shall retain the discretion to use any relevant data, including information obtained from the Adviser, any investment sub-adviser (if applicable) or any Valuation Service Provider, that the Committee deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. The Committee will make available to the full Board, upon request, any information it considered in determining the fair value of the Company's investments.

In order to fulfill its oversight responsibility, the Committee must be capable of conducting free and open discussions with, and thus have unrestricted access to, the Company's Management, the Independent Accountants, internal auditors, personnel of the Adviser and any investment sub-adviser (if applicable) and their respective affiliates, and any Valuation Service Providers and, legal counsel utilized by the Company regarding the quality of the Company's financial statements and system of internal controls and in relation to the valuation process carried out by the Company, when deemed necessary.

III. <br>

The Committee shall be comprised of three (3) or more trustees as determined by the Board, each of whom must:

#### Annex B

#### Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
I. <br>

#### Statement of Principles
The Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the Independent Accountants in order to ensure that the provision of such services to the Company does not impair the independence of the Independent Accountants. Unless a type of service to be provided by the Independent Accountants has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee.

II. <br>

#### Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Committee. The Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual audit services engagement approved by the Committee, the Committee may grant pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Accountants reasonably can provide, such as limited quarterly reviews, comfort letters, statutory audits, attest services, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

III. <br>

#### Audit-Related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and that are traditionally performed by the Independent Accountants. All audit-related services must be separately pre-approved by the Committee.

IV. <br>

#### Tax Services
Tax services include tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. All tax services must be separately pre-approved by the Committee.

V. <br>

#### All Other Services
The Committee may grant pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as "All Other Services" that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the Independent Accountants. Permissible All Other Services must be separately pre-approved by the Committee.

A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as <u>Exhibit 1</u>. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

VI. <br>

#### Pre-Approval Fee Levels
Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the Independent Accountants will be established periodically by the Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee.

VII. <br>

#### Supporting Documentation
With respect to each proposed pre-approved service, the Independent Accountants will provide an engagement letter to the Committee regarding the specific services to be provided.

#### Procedures
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Committee will be submitted to the Committee by the Chief Financial Officer, and must include a statement as to whether, in his view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

IX. <br>

#### Confirmation
The Independent Accountants will provide a written confirmation of its independence with respect to the Company to the Committee on an annual basis.

#### Annex C

#### Hiring Guidelines for Employees of the Independent Accountants
The Committee has adopted the following practices regarding the hiring by the Company of any employee of the Independent Accountants who participated in any capacity in the audit of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. <br>

No member of the audit team that is auditing the Company may be hired by the Company in a financial reporting oversight role (as defined in Regulation S-X, promulgated under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) for a period of one (1) year following association with that audit; and

A-13 <br>

------

#### Annex D

#### WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

#### Submission of Comments to Audit Committee
FS Credit Income Fund (the "**Company**") encourage its employees and employees of FS Credit Income Advisor, LLC, the Company's investment adviser (the "**Adviser**"), to maintain open lines of communication and share comments and concerns they may have with members of Management and, if necessary, with the Board of Trustees of the Company. Feedback from employees of the Company and the Adviser on matters related to their employment or the Company's operations, including their financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, is greatly appreciated and helps to build a stronger organization. An employee of any Company or the Adviser should report suspected violations of applicable laws, rules, regulations or the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to his or her supervisor, a member of senior Management, or to the Company's Chief Compliance Officer.

Employees of the Company and the Adviser may submit, on a confidential, anonymous basis if the employee so desires, comments related to, among other things, financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. Such comments should be set forth in writing, sealed in an envelope or submitted via e-mail, and addressed to the Company's Chief Compliance Officer if an employee would like Management to review the comments, or to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, which should be labeled: "To be opened by the Audit Committee only." Employees of the Company and the Adviser may also deliver such envelopes in the Company's internal mail system or deliver it by hand to the Company's Chief Compliance Officer, who will deliver it unopened to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Alternatively, employees of the Company and the Adviser may call the Adviser's Whistleblower Hotline (844-995-4986). If an employee of the Company or the Adviser would like to discuss matters with the Audit Committee, the employee should indicate this in the submission and include a telephone number at which he or she may be contacted if the Audit Committee deems it appropriate.

The Audit Committee reviews and considers such comments that it has received and may take action that it deems appropriate in order to respond thereto. The Audit Committee may request special treatment for a comment, including the retention of outside counsel or other advisors. The Audit Committee retains such comments for a period of no less than five years.

The Company's *Code of Business Conduct and Ethics* prohibits the retaliation or taking of any adverse action against anyone for raising or helping to resolve business conduct or ethical concerns.
