**Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)**

  

Dear Stockholder,

We hope that this letter finds you and your families well. 2025 was marked by considerable complexity across both credit and equity markets, shaped by geopolitical tensions and evolving economic conditions.

Especially in rapidly changing markets, we believe that active management combined with rigorous fundamental credit underwriting are critical to delivering attractive returns while prudently managing risk. With this in mind, FS Credit Opportunities Corp., or the Fund or FSCO, allocated its portfolio during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, or the Fiscal Year, across the following core areas:

• **Lower and core middle market private credit:** The Fund's primary focus is lending to lower and core middle market companies with average earnings (EBITDA) of $25 million to $75 million.<sup>1</sup> We view this segment as a competitive sweet spot: these businesses are often too small for the largest credit managers, and their balance sheets may not meet the standardized criteria of traditional lenders like banks. Our view is that reduced competition allows us to negotiate better terms and pricing, creating opportunities to drive attractive returns for our investors.

• **Capital structure solutions:** We provide tailored financing solutions for companies undergoing changes in their business or with balance sheets outside standard bank underwriting criteria. These transactions are often bespoke and highly structured, which we believe enables us to secure favorable terms, deliver enhanced yields and offer stronger downside protection compared to the public credit markets.

• **Senior secured debt:** We remained focused on senior secured debt investments that provide strong structural protections and attractive yields or expected total returns. As of December 31, 2025, senior secured debt represented approximately 90% of the portfolio's fair value, up from 84% as of December 31, 2024.

• **Floating rate debt:** Floating rate structures allow income to adjust with changes in benchmark interest rates, enabling the portfolio to capture additional yield in rising-rate environments while maintaining flexibility and resilience when rates decline. We increased the Fund's allocation to floating rate investments to 78% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 66% of the portfolio's fair value as of December 31, 2024.

**2025 Market Summary**

Markets contended with significant geopolitical and economic uncertainty during the Fund's Fiscal Year, driven by evolving tariff policy, slowing economic growth, softening employment data and sticky inflation. The Federal Reserve, or the Fed, cut interest rates by 75 basis points, or bps in 2025 and 175 bps since September 2024. Despite the lower-rate environment, the 2-year/10-year Treasury yield curve steepened, driven by market's hawkish interpretation of Fed policymakers' forward guidance. The 2-year Treasury yield fell 76 bps, to 3.48%, while the 10-year treasury yield declined a more modest 40 bps, to 4.17%. Public credit markets delivered steady returns during the Fiscal Year, as resilient economic data, solid corporate earnings and steady investor demand drove spreads on high yield bonds and senior secured loans steadily lower. Fixed rate high yield bonds returned 8.03%, outperforming floating rate senior secured loans, which returned 5.90% over the same period.<sup>2</sup>

Lower and core middle market private credit continued to offer a meaningful spread premium over public credit throughout the Fiscal Year. New issue spreads for middle market companies with EBITDA between $20 million and $50 million averaged the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, + 503 bps at the end of the Fiscal Year, compared to SOFR + 329 bps for B-rated syndicated loans, the closest public market comparable.<sup>3</sup> While the private credit metrics are based solely on sponsor-backed transactions, they highlight broader private credit trends. Private credit continues to offer stronger lender protections compared to public markets. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 90% of outstanding syndicated loans featured covenant lite structures, which do not include financial tests that lenders use to monitor a borrower's performance, compared to 14% for private credit senior financings.<sup>3</sup> Within private credit, covenant-lite structures are most prevalent in the upper end of the market (issuers with EBITDA over $100 million) where private credit lenders frequently compete with the syndicated loan markets. Covenant protections remain significantly stronger in the lower middle market, where just 3% of loans were covenant lite for issuers with EBITDA below $50 million as of December 31, 2025.<sup>3</sup>

**FSCO Performance & Investment Activity**

In our view, private credit markets offered greater relative value and downside protection than the public markets in 2025. Our origination efforts focused on senior secured, floating rate investments in lower and core U.S. middle market companies in both sponsored and non-sponsored businesses. This differentiated approach contrasts with many private credit strategies concentrated at the upper end of the market, where competition is greater and investment terms are more standardized. By focusing on what we believe to be underserved segments, the Fund seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns with strong structural protections.

FSCO generated a net asset value, or NAV, based total return of 10.89% for the Fiscal Year. Net investment income fully covered distributions of $0.80 per share on a tax basis during the Fiscal Year.<sup>4</sup> The Fund's net asset value declined modestly by $0.04 per share during the year from $7.15 per share to $7.11 per share.

Portfolio contributors far outweighed detractors during the year as performance was broad-based across the portfolio. The top 10 contributors, based on issuer, accounted for approximately 48% of the Fund's total return during the year. A multinational film and

television production services company that faced pressures on its operations due to reduced U.S. studio activity was the Fund's largest detractor during the Fiscal Year.

As of the Fiscal Year end, the Fund offered an attractive annualized distribution yield of approximately 11.4% based on NAV and approximately 12.9% based on the stock price. We believe this is attractive on an absolute and relative basis compared to our closed-end fund peers when considering distribution coverage. Since the FS Global Credit team assumed management of the Fund in January 2018, net investment income has fully funded distributions. Over that time, net investment income represented an average of 111% of distributions paid to stockholders.

Turning to investment activity, we maintained our focus on private credit during the Fiscal Year, supported by attractive yield premiums and stronger deal terms. As of December 31, 2025, private credit represented approximately 75% of the portfolio's fair value, up from 66% as of December 31, 2024.

During the Fund's Fiscal Year, we originated 19 new private credit investments totaling $552 million in commitments, featuring the following attributes:

• Weighted average spread of SOFR + 661 bps, well above new-issue spreads for core middle market loans for companies with EBITDA between $20 million to $50 million (SOFR + 503bps) and for B-rated syndicated loans (SOFR + 329bps), the closest public market comparable.<sup>3</sup>

• Median earnings (EBITDA) of approximately $82 million at issuance.<sup>1</sup>

• 95% of new originations included at least one maintenance covenant.

**Outlook**

Markets continued to be characterized by macroeconomic uncertainty and elevated—yet declining—rates. Especially in this environment, we believe active management and disciplined credit underwriting are critical to generating returns while managing risk.

We believe FSCO offers a differentiated value proposition built to drive strong risk-adjusted returns across a diverse range of economic and financial market conditions. Our view is that the Fund's ability to source what we believe are the most attractive risk-return opportunities across private and public markets is beneficial amid rapidly evolving market conditions.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in us.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp.

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the "Fund"), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2025, the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(4)The total return for each period presented is historical and is calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions in additional shares of common stock of the Fund at the Fund's net asset value per share as of the share closing date occurring on or immediately following the distribution payment date. The historical calculation of total return in the table should not be considered a representation of the Fund's future total return, which may be greater or less than the total return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including, among others, the Fund's ability or inability to make investments that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Fund acquires, the level of the Fund's expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Fund encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these and other factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return calculations set forth above represent the total return on the Fund during the applicable period.

(5)The total return based on market value for each period presented was calculated based on the change in market price during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the Fund's amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRP. Total return based on market value does not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Fund's common stock. The historical calculation of total return based on market value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Fund's future total return based on market value, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including, among others, the Fund's ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Fund acquires, the level of the Fund's expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Fund encounters competition in its markets, general economic conditions and fluctuations in common stock market value. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

(6)Average daily net assets is used for this calculation.

(9)For the year ended December 31, 2022, the expense ratio includes one-time, non-recurring listing advisory fees, and other listing expenses incurred in connection with the listing on the NYSE. Had the Fund not incurred these expenses, the expense ratio would have been 7.27%.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

**Note 1. Principal Business and Organization**

FS Credit Opportunities Corp., or the Fund, is organized as a Maryland corporation. Prior to March 23, 2022, the Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust. On March 23, 2022, the Fund completed its conversion into a Maryland corporation and changed its name to FS Credit Opportunities Corp. The Fund was originally organized on January 28, 2013, operating under the name FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund, and commenced investment operations on December 12, 2013. The Fund is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, that has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Effective November 14, 2022, the Fund listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the ticker symbol "FSCO."

The Fund's investment adviser is FS Global Advisor, LLC, or FS Global Advisor, or the Advisor, which is 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 Fund's sponsor, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or Future Standard.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds interests in certain portfolio companies. The consolidated financial statements include both the Fund's accounts and the accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries consolidated as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Fund's consolidated subsidiaries may be subject to foreign income taxes. Additionally, one of the Fund's consolidated subsidiaries is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

The Fund's primary investment objective is to generate an attractive total return consisting of a high level of current income and capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of capital preservation.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Basis of Presentation*: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, *Financial Services—Investment Companies,* or ASC Topic 946. The Fund will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund consolidated the accounts of the Fund's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. The Fund has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

*Use of Estimates*: The preparation of the Fund's consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Fund considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Fund may invest its cash in an institutional money market fund, which is stated at fair value. The Fund's uninvested cash is maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fund's cash is held with major financial institutions and may exceed federally insured limits.

*Valuation of Portfolio Investment*s: The Fund determines the net asset value, or NAV, of its common stock on each day that the NYSE is open for business as of the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE. The Fund calculates the NAV of its common stock by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses and distributions) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of securities, plus cash and other assets, including interest and distributions accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of its outstanding shares of common stock.

The Fund's board of directors, or the Board, is responsible for overseeing the valuation of the Fund's portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Advisor's valuation policy, or the Valuation Policy. Under the Valuation Policy, the Board has designated the Advisor to be the Fund's valuation designee, with day-to-day responsibility for implementing the portfolio's valuation process set forth in the Valuation Policy subject to the oversight of the Board. The audit committee of the Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisor's implementation of the Fund's valuation process. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. In circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, the Advisor has adopted methods for determining the fair value of such securities and other assets, pursuant to the responsibility for applying such fair valuation methods that has been designated to it by the Board. In connection with the valuation process, the Board receives valuation reports from the Advisor as valuation designee on a quarterly basis.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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 for identical securities; 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.

The Fund expects that its portfolio will primarily of securities listed or traded on a recognized securities exchange or automated quotation system, or exchange-traded securities, or securities traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors for which indicative dealer quotes are available, or over-the-counter, or OTC, securities. The Fund also may invest in certain illiquid securities issued by private companies and/or thinly traded public companies. These investments are generally subject to restrictions on resale and ordinarily have not established a trading market.

For purposes of calculating NAV, the Fund uses the following valuation methods:

• The market value of each exchange-traded security is the last reported sale price at the relevant valuation date on the composite tape or on the principal exchange on which such security is traded.

• If no sale is reported for an exchange-traded security on the valuation date or if a security is an OTC security, the Fund values such investments using quotations obtained from an approved independent third-party pricing service, which provides prevailing bid and ask prices that are screened for validity by such service from dealers on the valuation date. If a quoted price from such pricing service is deemed by the Advisor to be unreliable (and therefore, not readily available), the Advisor may recommend that the investment may be fair valued by some other means, including, but not limited to, a valuation provided by an approved independent third-party valuation service or by the Advisor's Fair Value Committee, or the Fair Value Committee. For investments for which an approved independent third-party pricing service is unable to obtain quoted prices, the Fund may obtain bid and ask prices directly from dealers who make a market in such securities. In all cases, investments are valued at the mid-point of the prevailing bid-ask range obtained from such sources unless there is a compelling reason to use some other value within the bid-ask range and the justification thereof is documented and retained by the Advisor.

• To the extent that the Fund holds investments for which no active secondary market exists and, therefore, no bid and ask prices can be readily obtained, the Fund will value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, in accordance with the Valuation Policy. In making such determination, it is expected that the Advisor may rely upon valuations obtained from an approved independent third-party valuation service. With respect to these investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Fund undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The quarterly fair valuation process begins with the Advisor facilitating the delivery of updated quarterly financial and other information relating to each investment to the independent third-party valuation service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The independent third-party valuation service then reviews and analyzes the information, along with relevant market and economic data, and determines proposed valuations for each investment according to the valuation methodologies in the Valuation Policy and communicates the information to the Advisor in the form of a valuation range;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor then reviews the preliminary valuation information for each portfolio company or investment and provides feedback about the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the valuation-related inputs considered by the independent third-party valuation service and any suggested revisions thereto prior to the independent third-party valuation service finalizing its valuation range;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor then provides the audit committee of the Board with valuation-related information for each investment along with any applicable supporting materials and other information that is relevant to the fair valuation process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The audit committee of the Board then meets with the Advisor to receive the relevant quarterly reporting and to discuss any questions from the audit committee in connection with the audit committee's role in overseeing the fair valuation process; preliminary valuations are then presented to and discussed with the audit committee of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Following the completion of fair valuation oversight activities, the audit committee of the Board, with assistance from the Advisor, provides the Board with a report regarding the quarterly valuation process.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the Fund'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 Fund's consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, the Advisor may use any independent third-party

pricing or valuation service, for which it has performed the appropriate level of due diligence. However, the Advisor shall not be required to determine fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information sourced by the Advisor, or from any approved independent third-party valuation or pricing service, that the Advisor deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances.

Below is a description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation service and the audit committee of the Board may consider when determining the fair value of the Fund's investments.

The valuation methods utilized for each portfolio company may vary depending on industry and company-specific considerations. Typically, the first step is to make an assessment as to the enterprise value of the portfolio company's business in order to establish whether the portfolio company's enterprise value is greater than the amount of its debt as of the valuation date. This analysis helps to determine a risk profile for the applicable portfolio company and its related investments, and the appropriate valuation methodology to utilize as part of the security valuation analysis. The enterprise valuation may be determined using a market or income approach.

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 Fund may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that may be considered include the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing the borrower's debt.

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 (i.e., 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.

Valuation of Collateralized Loan Obligation, or CLO, subordinated notes considers a variety of relevant factors, including recent purchases and sales known to the Advisor in similar securities and output from a third-party financial model. The third-party financial model contains detailed information on the characteristics of CLOs, including recent information about assets and liabilities, and is used to project future cash flows. Key inputs to the model include assumptions for future loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates. These are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions.

The Fund's equity interests in companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Generally, the value of the Fund's equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available will be based upon the most recent closing public market price.

When the Fund receives warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. The Board will subsequently value the warrants or other equity securities received at fair value.

When utilized, derivatives will be priced in the same manner as securities and loans, i.e., primarily by approved independent third-party pricing services, or secondarily through counterparty statements if there are no prices available from such pricing services. With respect to credit derivatives, where liquidity is limited due to the lack of a secondary market for the underlying reference obligation and where a price is not provided by an approved independent third-party pricing service, such derivatives will be valued after considering, among other factors, the valuation provided by the counterparty with which the Fund has established the position. For other over-the-counter derivatives, the value of the underlying securities, among other factors, will be reviewed and considered by the Advisor in determining the appropriate fair value.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts typically will be valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party. Swaps (other than centrally cleared) typically will be valued using valuations provided by an approved independent third-party pricing service. Such valuations generally will be based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract and, in the case of credit default swaps, generally will be based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker-dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the approved independent third-party pricing service using proprietary models. Future cash flows will be discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker-dealers. Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the daily settlement price provided by the central clearing counterparty. The aggregate settlement values and notional amounts of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts are not recorded in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts are recorded in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the consolidated statement of operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as net realized gains (losses).

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

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

investments in certain securities that accumulate PIK income to be paid upon the redemption, liquidation or maturity of the underlying investment. Such PIK income is accumulated onto the principal balance of the respective security. The Fund 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. The Fund's policy is to place investments on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. The Fund considers many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it from non-accrual status, including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that the Fund will receive any previously accrued interest, then the previously recognized interest income will be written-off. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on the Fund's judgment.

Distributions received from common equity investments generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received based on historical information or estimates provided by the respective portfolio companies. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on the information received from the respective portfolio companies after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Fund.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount, market discount and market premium are capitalized and such amounts are amortized/accreted as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security, except market premium on callable bonds, which are amortized to the call date. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. The Fund records prepayment fees on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts. Structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund recognized $366 in structuring and upfront fee revenue.

The Fund invests in CLOs. Interest income from investments in the "equity" class of these CLOs (in the Fund's case, subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 325-40-35, *Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets*. The Fund monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in CLOs, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

*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 Fund 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 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, and the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for any foreign denominated investments. 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.

*Income Taxes*: The Fund has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain its qualification as a RIC, the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders. The Fund intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain its RIC status each year. The Fund also will be subject to nondeductible U.S. federal excise taxes if it does not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no U.S. federal income taxes.

*Uncertainty in Income Taxes*: The Fund 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 Fund's 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 Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense on its consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund's U.S. federal and state income and U.S. federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, and state departments of revenue.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

*Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts*: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Fund, helps to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments and borrowings held by the Fund are denominated. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts contains the risk that the value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

*Interest Rate Swaps:* The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps to help hedge against interest rate risk exposure and to maintain the Fund's ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party for their respective commitment to pay or receive interest on the notional amount of principal.

*Options:* The Fund may purchase or write call and put options in an effort to manage risk and/or generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised) the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. Premiums paid on options purchased and premiums received on options written are reflected as an asset and liability, respectively. The amount of the asset or liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option purchased or written. When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium received is deducted from the basis of the instrument acquired or added to the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premiums received. When an option is exercised, the Fund realizes a loss to the extent the cost of closing the option exceeds the premiums received, or a gain to the extent the premiums received exceed the cost of closing the option.

*Total Return Swaps:* The Fund may enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in such market or to exchange the risk/return of one market with another market. Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the total return (distributions plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. If the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting fixed or floating interest rate obligation, the Fund receives payment from or makes a payment to the counterparty.

*Distributions*: Distributions to the Fund's stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, the Fund intends to authorize and declare and pay ordinary cash distributions on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed or deemed distributed at least annually. Distributions to holders of Term Preferred Shares are accrued on a daily basis as described in Note 9. As required by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480, *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity*, issued by the FASB, the Fund includes the accrued distributions on its Term Preferred Shares as an operating expense due to the fixed term of this obligation. For tax purposes, the payments made to holders of the Fund's Term Preferred Shares are treated as distributions.

*Collateralized Loan Obligation – Warehouses*: A Collateralized Loan Obligation Warehouse, or CLO Warehouse, is an entity organized for the purpose of holding syndicated bank loans, also known as leveraged loans, prior to the issuance of securities from that same vehicle. During the warehouse period, a CLO Warehouse will secure investments and build a portfolio of primarily leveraged loans and other debt obligations. The warehouse period terminates when the collateralized loan obligation vehicle issues various tranches of securities to the market. At this time, financing through the issuance of debt securities and subordinated notes is used to repay the bank financing.

The fair value of the Fund's investment in the CLO Warehouse is determined by adding the excess spread (accrued interest plus interest received less financing cost) to the Fund's initial investment in the CLO Warehouse. Consistent with ASC Topic 820, the excess spread represents the price that would be received from the sale of the CLO Warehouse investment in an orderly transaction between market participants. CLO warehouses can be exposed to credit events, mark to market changes, rating agency downgrades and financing cost changes.

*Segment Reporting:* The Fund operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is the Fund's chief executive officer. The CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Fund on a consolidated basis primarily based on the Fund's change in net assets resulting from operations. In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM

utilizes net investment income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Fund's common stockholders. As the Fund's operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as "total assets" and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

*Recent Accounting Pronouncements:* In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09, which requires additional disaggregated disclosures on the entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and additional details on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Fund adopted ASU 2023-09 effective December 31, 2025 and concluded that the application of this guidance did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

**Note 3. Share Transactions**

*At-the-Market Offering*

On January 15, 2025, the Fund entered into a distribution agreement, or the Distribution Agreement, with ALPS Distributors, Inc., or the Distributor, pursuant to which the Fund may offer and sell up to $150,000 of common stock from time to time through the Distributor, in transactions deemed to be "at the market" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or the ATM Offering. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not sell any common stock at a price below the current NAV of such common stock, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor may enter into sub-placement agent agreements with one or more selected dealers. The Distributor has entered into a sub-placement agent agreement, dated January 15, 2025, with UBS Securities LLC, or the Sub-Placement Agent, relating to the common stock to be offered under the Distribution Agreement. The Fund will compensate the Distributor with respect to sales of common stock at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Fund's common stock. Out of this commission, the Distributor will compensate the Sub-Placement Agent at a rate of up to 0.80% of the gross sales proceeds of the sale of the Fund's common stock sold by the Sub-Placement Agent.

The Advisor may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, pay some or all of the commissions payable under the Distribution Agreement or make additional supplemental payments, which may be satisfied in cash or through an offset against management fees to which the Advisor was otherwise entitled, to ensure that the sales price per share of the Fund's common stock in connection with all offerings under the ATM Offering will not be less than the Fund's current NAV per share. Any such payments or offsets made by the Advisor will not be subject to reimbursement by the Fund.

Below is a summary of transactions with respect to the Fund's ATM Offering during the year ended December 31, 2025:

*Compensation of the Investment Adviser and its Affiliates*

Prior to November 14, 2022, pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor was entitled to (a) an annual management fee of 1.50% of the Fund's average daily gross assets (gross assets equaled total assets set forth on the Fund's consolidated statement of assets and liabilities) and (b) an incentive fee based on the Fund's performance.

On November 14, 2022, the Fund and the Advisor amended and restated the Investment Advisory Agreement, or the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement, effective as of November 14, 2022, the Advisor is entitled to (a) an annual management fee of 1.35% of the Fund's average daily gross assets (gross assets equals total assets set forth on the Fund's consolidated statement of assets and liabilities) and (b) an incentive fee based on the Fund's performance. Management fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.

Under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Fund's "pre-incentive fee net investment income" for the immediately preceding quarter, and is subject to a preferred return rate, expressed as a rate of return on the Fund's net assets, equal to 1.50% per quarter (or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.00%), subject to a "catch-up" feature. For this purpose, "pre-incentive fee net investment income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Fund receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Fund's operating expenses for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses reimbursed to the Advisor under the administration agreement, dated as of July 15, 2013, by and between the Fund and the Advisor, or the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with paid-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

The calculation of the incentive fee for each quarter is as follows:

• No incentive fee is payable in any calendar quarter in which the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the quarterly preferred return rate of 1.50% (6.00% annualized);

• 100% of the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return rate but is less than or equal to 1.667% in any calendar quarter (6.667% annualized) is payable to the Advisor. This portion of the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income which exceeds the preferred return rate but is less than or equal to 1.667% is referred to as the "catch-up." The "catch-up" provision is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 10.0% on all of the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 1.667% in any calendar quarter; and

• 10.0% of the amount of the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.667% in any calendar quarter (6.667% annualized) is payable to the Advisor once the preferred return rate and catch-up have been achieved (10.0% of all the Fund's pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Advisor).

In connection with the ATM Offering, the Advisor may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, pay some or all of the commissions payable under the Distribution Agreement or make additional supplemental payments, which may be satisfied in cash or through an offset against management fees to which the Advisor was otherwise entitled, to ensure that the sales price per share of the Fund's common stock in connection with all offerings under the ATM Offering will not be less than the Fund's NAV per share. Any such payments or offsets will not be subject to reimbursement by the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Advisor made supplemental payments to the Fund in connection with the ATM Offering in the amount of $179, which was satisfied in its entirety through an offset against management fees to which the Advisor was otherwise entitled.

Under the Administration Agreement, the Fund reimburses the Advisor for its actual costs incurred in providing administrative services to the Fund, including the Advisor's allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Future Standard providing administrative services to the Fund on behalf of the Advisor. Such services include general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor and government relations and other administrative services. The Advisor also performs, or oversees

the performance of, the Fund's corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Fund is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Fund's stockholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists the Fund in calculating NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Fund's stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Fund's expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund by others. The Advisor is required to allocate the cost of these services to the Fund based on factors such as assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, the Board reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Fund and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Fund and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The Board then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Fund based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Fund of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Fund's net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable investment companies. The Fund will not reimburse the Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for any administrative expenses allocated to a controlling person of the Advisor.

The following table describes the fees and expenses incurred under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025:

| FS Global Advisor, LLC | Administration Agreement | Administrative Services Expenses<sup>(3)</sup> | $4270 |

______________

(1)During the year ended December 31, 2025, $29,401 in management fees were paid to the Advisor. The management fee amount presented is net of the management fee offset of $179. As of December 31, 2025, $7,510 in management fees were payable to the Advisor.

(2)During the year ended December 31, 2025, $15,799 in incentive fees were paid to the Advisor. As of December 31, 2025, $2,919 in incentive fees were payable to the Advisor.

(3)During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund paid $4,101 in administrative services expenses to the Advisor.

*Potential Conflicts of Interest*

The Advisor's senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management teams of the investment advisers to certain other BDCs, closed-end management investment companies, private funds, and separately managed accounts, or the Fund Complex. As a result, such personnel provide or expect to provide investment advisory services to certain other funds in the Fund Complex and such personnel may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles in the Fund Complex. While the investment personnel of the Advisor are not currently providing investment advisory services for clients other than for the Fund Complex, they may do so in the future. In the event that the Advisor provides investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and strategies, so that the Fund will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the Advisor or its management team. In addition, even in the absence of the Advisor retaining additional clients, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to other entities in the Fund Complex, rather than to the Fund. In some cases, the Advisor (or an affiliate) will receive a fee from a third-party investor for making excess investment opportunities available, and such fee creates an incentive to recommend such opportunities to the Fund Complex and to allocate opportunities to such a third-party investor. Additionally, members of the senior management and investment teams and other employees of the Advisor or its members or their respective affiliates may from time to time invest in portfolio companies in which the Fund invests.

*Exemptive Relief*

The Fund previously operated under exemptive relief granted by the SEC, or the Co-Investment Order, that permitted the Fund to participate in certain negotiated co-investments alongside other funds managed by the Advisor or certain of its affiliates, subject to certain conditions, including that the price, terms and conditions of the co-investment would be identical for each fund participating pursuant to the exemptive relief.

On February 20, 2025, the Fund, alongside other funds managed by the Advisor or certain of its affiliates, filed an application for a new exemptive relief order, or the New Co-Investment Order, that would similarly permit co-investments with certain affiliates of the Fund but would simplify certain of the conditions under and provide more flexibility than the Co-Investment Order. The New Co-Investment Order was granted by the SEC, effective April 29, 2025, and supersedes the Co-Investment Order.

*Participating Funds Total Return Swaps*

On November 13, 2025, the Fund entered into a share swap confirmation with Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc., or the TRS Counterparty, governing an equity total return swap, or the Equity TRS, for common shares of beneficial interest of FS Specialty Lending Fund, or FSSL. The Advisor is owned by the owner of the investment adviser of FSSL. The Equity TRS enables the Fund to obtain the economic benefit of owning up to $50 million of common shares of FSSL in return for an interest-type payment to the TRS Counterparty. The Equity TRS has a term of three years, but may be terminated earlier in whole or in part following the occurrence of certain prescribed events agreed to between the TRS Counterparty and the Fund.

*Bridge Street CLO I Ltd. and Bridge Street CLO II Ltd. (each, a CLO Issuer)*

The collateral manager and administrator of each CLO Issuer, FS Structured Products Advisor, LLC, or FSSPA, is an affiliate of the Advisor. In accordance with an amended and restated agreement between FSSPA and the Fund, as long as the Fund owns more than 4.99% of any CLO Issuer's equity, FSSPA will reimburse the Fund on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to all of the compensation received by FSSPA from Bridge Street CLO II Ltd. and a portion of the compensation received by FSSPA from Bridge Street CLO I Ltd., equal to the Fund's percentage ownership of Bridge Street CLO I Ltd.'s subordinated notes, in each case, for FSSPA's collateral management and collateral administrator services less certain administrative costs borne by FSSPA during the relevant quarter as defined in the agreement.

On the respective CLO issuance dates, the respective CLO Issuer issued to the market various tranches of notes, including the issuance of subordinated notes to the Fund in each case. Upon any refinancing of the CLO notes issued by a CLO Issuer, the Fund may acquire additional tranches of the refinanced CLO notes.

The following table presents summary information with respect to the Fund's CLO issuances:

*Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII Ltd.*

Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII Ltd., or Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII, is a CLO Warehouse in which the Fund contributes capital by subscribing for the preference shares issued by Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII, which is accounted for as a financial instrument at fair value as of December 31, 2025. Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII commenced operations on October 28, 2025 and was in the warehouse phase as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund contributed $5,000 to Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII. The Fund had an investment of $5,057 in Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII, at fair value, as of December 31, 2025. Bridge Street Warehouse CLO VII financed the majority of its loan purchases using its credit facility.

**Note 5. Distributions**

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Fund declared and paid cash distributions of $0.80 per share of common stock in the total amount of $159,399 and $0.71 per share of common stock in the total amount of $141,654, respectively.

On January 12, 2026 and February 10, 2026, the Board declared regular monthly cash distributions for January and February 2026, each in the amount of $0.0678 per share of common stock. The regular monthly cash distributions have been or will be paid monthly to stockholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Board. From time to time, the Fund may also pay special interim cash distributions at the discretion of the Board. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Board.

Pursuant to the DRP, the Fund will reinvest all cash dividends or distributions declared by the Board on behalf of all stockholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if the Board declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to "opt out" of the DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund's common stock.

The Fund may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income, short-term and long-term capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, gains from credit default swaps, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and distributions on account of preferred and common equity. The Fund has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Fund declared on its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| Total | $159399 | 100% | $141654 | 100% |

---

**____________________**

(1)The Fund's net investment income on a tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $174,952 and $196,221, respectively. The determination of the tax attributes of the Fund's distributions is made annually as of the end of the Fund's fiscal year based upon the Fund's 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.

The Fund's net investment income on a tax basis may be adjusted based on the filing of the Fund's tax return. The difference between the Fund's GAAP-basis net investment income and its tax-basis net investment income is primarily due to the tax treatment of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on certain investments, realized foreign currency gains (losses), accrual of income for tax different from accrual of income for GAAP, non-deductible excise tax, non-deductible interest expense on Term Preferred Shares and fees recognized upon prepayment of loans.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation between GAAP-basis net investment income and tax-basis net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| GAAP-basis net investment income | $133756 |
| Tax treatment of unamortized original issue discount and prepayment fees | (7469) |
| Foreign currency gains (losses) | 43 |
| Non-deductible excise tax | 4631 |
| Non-deductible interest expense and deferred financing costs on Term Preferred Shares | 21616 |
| Income subject to tax not recorded for GAAP | 23224 |
| Other miscellaneous differences | (849) |
| Tax-basis net investment income | $174952 |

---

The Fund may make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund increased retained earnings (accumulated deficit) by $13,289 and decreased capital in excess of par value by $13,289. This reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the Fund.

As of December 31, 2025, the components of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Distributable ordinary income | $128456 |
| Capital loss carryover<sup>(1)</sup> | (297077) |
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (52756) |
| Other temporary differences | (7603) |
| Total | $(228980) |

---

**____________________**

(1)The capital loss carryover is available to reduce capital gain distribution requirements in future years and does not expire. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had a long-term capital loss carryover of $282,669 and short-term capital loss carryover of $14,408. Future utilization of these losses may be limited. Any unused balances resulting from such limitations may be carried forward into future years indefinitely.

The aggregate cost of the Fund's investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $1,759,678 as of December 31, 2025. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was $(50,393), which was comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $19,937 and gross unrealized depreciation of $70,330, as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had a gross deferred tax asset of $30,804 resulting from deferred interest expense, capital losses and net operating losses in the Fund's wholly-owned taxable subsidiary and a deferred tax liability of $17,780 resulting from unrealized

appreciation on investments held by the Fund's wholly-owned taxable subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, the wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, FS Global Investments, Inc. anticipated that it would be unable to fully utilize the deferred tax asset, therefore, the deferred tax asset was offset by a valuation allowance of $15,513. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund recorded a provision (benefit) for taxes related to FS Global Investments, Inc. of $(624) related to the deferred tax liability. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had a deferred tax liability of $2,489.

**Note 6. Financial Instruments**

The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts and written options and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain or reduce exposure, to foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a specified date. These contracts help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments and borrowings held by the Fund are denominated and in some cases, may be used to obtain exposure to a particular market.

Each forward foreign currency exchange contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts contains the risk that the value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts to gain or reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. An interest rate swap generally involves one party making payments based on a fixed interest rate in return for payments from a counterparty based on a variable or floating interest rate. The Fund may enter into either side of such a swap contract. Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the Fund's sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates.

Each interest rate swap is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. When a swap is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of interest rate swaps contains the risk that the value of an interest rate swap changes unfavorably due to movements in interest rates, as well as the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.

The Fund entered into the Equity TRS with the TRS Counterparty. Under the Equity TRS, the Fund obtains the economic benefit of owning shares of FSSL, an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, without actually owning such shares, and the TRS Counterparty receives an interest-type payment in return. The investment adviser to FSSL is owned by Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., which is also the owner of the Advisor.

The Equity TRS is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Pursuant to its terms, the Equity TRS settles monthly and a realized gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations equal to the difference between the value of the shares underlying the Equity TRS at the time the swap was entered into or the previous settlement date and the value as of the current settlement date, plus dividends received and less accrued interest. Any dividends received by the TRS Counterparty as holder of the FSSL shares are paid to the Fund. The Equity TRS has a term of three years, but it can be terminated earlier in whole or in part following the occurrence of certain prescribed events agreed to between the TRS Counterparty and the Fund. The primary underlying risk exposure through the use of equity total return swaps is equity market risk.

The Fund may enter into swap contracts containing provisions allowing the counterparty to terminate the contract under certain conditions, including, but not limited to, a decline in the Fund's NAV below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those swaps in a liability position. The Fund may purchase and write call and put options in an effort to manage risk and/or generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell (if the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price

at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period.

In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that it may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market, or market risk. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing or selling a security when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.

The fair value of open derivative instruments (which are not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting purposes) by risk exposure as of December 31, 2025 was as follows:

(1)Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on investments.

In general, under the 1940 Act, the Fund would be presumed to "control" a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of a portfolio company, and would be an "affiliated person" of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund held investments in seven portfolio companies of which it is deemed to be an "affiliated person" but is not deemed to "control," and held an investment in one portfolio company of which it is deemed to "control," each as defined in the 1940 Act. For additional information with respect to such portfolio companies, see footnotes (t) and (u) to the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2025 included herein.

The Fund's investment portfolio may contain loans that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, which require the Fund to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had 22 senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $74,376. The Fund maintains sufficient cash on hand and/or available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

**Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an asset 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 valuation techniques that 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 Fund. 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 Fund 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.

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, 2025, the Fund had a cash equivalent invested in U.S. Treasury Bills with a fair value of $124,670, total return swaps with a fair value of $115, and interest rate swaps with a fair value of $81, all of which are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund also had a cash equivalent invested in the Allspring Government Money Market Fund with a fair value of $21,415, categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the valuation of the Fund's portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Valuation Policy. The Board has designated the Advisor as the Fund's valuation designee, with day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Fund's portfolio valuation process set forth in the Valuation Policy, subject to oversight by the Board. The audit committee of the Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisor's implementation of the Fund's valuation process.

The Fund's investments consist of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investors and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described below, the Fund values its investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the period end, which are provided by an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party. The fair value of the total return swaps is determined daily based on the bid price of the underlying asset provided by the counterparty. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace or can be corroborated by active markets or broker quotes and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Debt investments, for which broker quotes are not available, are valued by an independent third-party valuation firm, which determines 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, expected cash flows, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the investments. When a current price is not available from an independent third-party pricing service, investments may be valued by the Advisor as determined in good faith. Except as described above, all of the Fund's equity/other investments are also valued by the same independent valuation firm, which determines 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. Investments valued by an independent third-party valuation firm are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. An investment that is newly issued and purchased near the date of the consolidated financial statements is valued at cost if the Advisor determines that the cost of such investment is the best indication of its fair value.

The Advisor periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing service and/or dealers and independent valuation firms against the actual prices at which the Fund purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Fund's management in purchasing and selling these investments in other investment funds managed by the sponsor, the Advisor believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. The Advisor reviewed the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments and determined that they were made in a manner consistent with the Valuation Policy.

(1)Transfers into and out of Level 3 may occur as a result of, among other factors, changes in liquidity, the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services and the existence of observable trades in the market. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting year.

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

(1)For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

(2)Fair value based on expected outcome of proposed corporate transactions, other factors or determined in good faith by the Advisor.

(3)Fair value of the CLO Warehouse is based on cost plus the excess spread (accrued interest plus interest received less financing cost).

itself and as agent for BNP Paribas. The Bucks Funding Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars up to an aggregate principal amount of $200,000 of revolving loans. Bucks Funding also borrowed $100,000 of term loans in U.S. dollars under the Bucks Funding Facility and repaid the term loans in full prior to the April 22, 2021 maturity date solely applicable to the term loans. Bucks Funding may also borrow additional amounts on an uncommitted basis, at the discretion of BNP Paribas, to the extent the pledged collateral provides sufficient coverage for such additional borrowings.

Bucks Funding may terminate the Bucks Funding Facility upon two business days' notice. Absent a default or facility termination event, BNP PBIL is required to provide Bucks Funding with 270 days' notice prior to terminating or materially amending the terms of the revolving loans.

In connection with the Bucks Funding Facility, the Fund entered into a Parent Guaranty, pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to guaranty Bucks Funding's obligations under the Bucks Funding Facility.

Securities held by Bucks Funding may be rehypothecated from time to time as permitted by Rule 15c-1(a)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to the terms and conditions governing Bucks Funding's U.S. PB Agreement, or the PB Agreement, with BNP PBIL.

*Term Preferred Shares*

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had 400,000 issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock, each with a $1,000 liquidation preference per share, which consisted of the Series 2027 Term Preferred Shares, the Series 2028 Term Preferred Shares, the Series 2029 Term Preferred Shares and the Series 2030 Term Preferred Shares, or collectively, the Term Preferred Shares.

The Term Preferred Shares will rank senior in right of payment to the Fund's common stock, will rank equal in right of payment with any other series of preferred shares that the Fund may issue in the future and will be subordinated in right of payment to the Fund's existing and future indebtedness.

The terms of the Term Preferred Shares require the Fund to maintain asset coverage, as defined in Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and modified for certain limitations on investments in issuers in a consolidated group and in equity securities, with respect to the Term Preferred Shares of at least 225%.

The Fund is obligated to redeem its Term Preferred Shares by the date as specified in the applicable series of Term Preferred Shares' offering document, or Term Redemption Date, unless redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Fund may, at its sole option, redeem the Term Preferred Shares at the liquidation price, subject to payment of a make-whole premium, through the earlier date as specified in its offering document, or the Make-Whole Expiration Date. In addition, the Fund is obligated to redeem its Term Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of certain events, for example if the Advisor, or an affiliate thereof, ceases to be the Fund's investment advisor and is not timely replaced by another investment advisor reasonably acceptable to holders of a majority of the applicable series of Term Preferred Shares.

The following table presents additional information with respect to the Fund's Term Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Term Preferred Shares Series** | **Rate** | **Issuance Date** | **Term Redemption Date** |
| Series 2027<sup>(1)</sup> | 2.95% | November 2, 2021 | January 31, 2027 |
| Series 2028 | 5.106% | October 21, 2025 | October 21, 2028 |
| Series 2029 | 6.7% | May 16, 2024 | May 16, 2029 |
| Series 2030 | 5.481% | October 21, 2025 | October 21, 2030 |

______________

(1)The Series 2027 Term Preferred Shares has a Make-Whole Expiration Date of October 31, 2026.

The Term Preferred Shares are considered debt of the Fund for accounting purposes; therefore, the liquidation preference is recorded as a liability on its consolidated statement of assets and liabilities net of deferred financing costs. As of December 31, 2025, the Advisor has determined that the fair value of the 2027 Term Preferred Shares, Series 2028 Term Preferred Shares, Series 2029 Term Preferred Shares, and Series 2030 Term Preferred Shares was approximately $97,584, $50,172, $103,069, and $149,993, respectively. Fair value was obtained using a market approach. Fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. The Fund records unpaid dividends in interest expense payable on its consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, and the dividends accrued and paid on the Term Preferred Shares are included as a component of interest expense on its consolidated statement of operations. The Term Preferred Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes.

The Fund incurred costs in connection with issuing the Term Preferred Shares, which the Fund has recorded as deferred financing costs on its consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and amortizes to interest expense over the life of the Term Preferred Shares. As of December 31, 2025, $3,312 of such deferred financing costs had yet to be amortized to interest expense.

**Note 10. Concentration of Risk**

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the sub-section entitled "Principal Risk Factors" under the section "Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)," which are incorporated herein by reference. The risks described in the "Principal Risk Factors" sub-section are not, and are not intended to be, a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Fund.

**Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management of the Advisor has reviewed the Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Fund to be remote.

From time to time, the Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of the Fund's rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, to the extent the Fund becomes party to such proceedings, the Fund would assess whether any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

(f/k/a Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co.) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the Fund, the Advisor, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., Franklin Square Holdings, G.P., LLC and one employee of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., or the FS Parties, as well as a number of other unaffiliated parties. The plaintiff was formed as a single purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, in 2018. In 2021, a potential acquisition target was identified for the SPAC, though the target was ultimately sold in a private transaction. Plaintiff alleges, among other claims, that defendants intentionally disrupted the SPAC transaction in order to consummate the private sale, thus depriving plaintiff of at least $53 million. Plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages. On July 21, 2025, the FS Parties and certain co-defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on, among other grounds, lack of personal jurisdiction, failure to state causes of action for breach of contract and for aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty, and failure to plead entitlement to punitive damages. On August 5, 2025, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and on August 25, 2025, the FS Parties and certain co-defendents moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On November 5, 2025, the plaintiff filed its belated opposition to the FS Parties' motion to dismiss, and on December 23, 2025, the FS Parties' filed a reply brief in support of the motion to dismiss. The trial court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss, and oral argument is currently scheduled for August 11, 2026. While the FS Parties have and will continue to vigorously defend against the claims outlined in the complaint, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the motion to dismiss or the ultimate resolution of plaintiff's claims.

***Distribution Reinvestment Plan***

Pursuant to the DRP, the Fund will reinvest all cash dividends or distributions declared by the Board on behalf of stockholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if the Board declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to "opt out" of the DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund's common stock.

With respect to each distribution pursuant to the DRP, the Fund reserves the right to either issue new shares of common stock or purchase shares of common stock in the open market in connection with implementation of the DRP. Unless the Fund, in its sole discretion, otherwise directs the plan administrator, (A) if the per share market price (as defined in the DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the Fund's common stock on the payment date for the distribution, then the Fund will issue shares of common stock at the greater of (i) net asset value per share of common stock or (ii) 95% of the market price; or (B) if the per share market price is less than the net asset value per share, then, in the sole discretion of the Fund, (i) shares of common stock will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participants to the extent practicable, or (ii) the Fund will issue shares of common stock at net asset value per share. Pursuant to the terms of the DRP, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by the price per share at which the Fund issues such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participant based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market.

If a stockholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the DRP, such stockholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if it elected to receive distributions in cash. If the Fund's common stock is trading at or below net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that they would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If the Fund's common stock is trading above net asset value, a stockholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Fund's common stock. The stockholder's basis for

determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the stockholder's account.

The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the DRP. A stockholder may terminate its account under the DRP by notifying the plan administrator in writing. All correspondence concerning the DRP should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at FS Credit Opportunities Corp., c/o SS&C GIDS, Inc., 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 219095, Kansas City, Missouri 64105-1307. A stockholder may obtain a copy of the DRP by request to the plan administrator or by contacting the Fund.

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

The following information in this annual report is a summary of certain information about the Fund and changes since the Fund's most recent annual report for December 31, 2024, or the prior disclosure date. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased the Fund.

**<u>Investment Objectives</u>**

There have been no changes in the Fund's investment objectives since the prior disclosure date.

The Fund's primary investment objective is to generate attractive total return consisting of a high level of current income and capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of capital preservation.

**<u>Principal Investment Strategies and Policies</u>**

There have been no changes in the Fund's Principal Investment Strategies and Policies since the prior disclosure date.

The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of secured and unsecured floating and fixed rate loans, bonds, and other types of credit instruments, which, under normal circumstances, will represent at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes). For purposes of this policy, "credit instruments" may include senior secured loans, unsecured loans, corporate bonds, notes, bills, debentures, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized bond obligations, collateralized loan obligations, bank loans, corporate loans, government and municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, repurchase agreements and other fixed-income instruments of a similar nature that may be represented by derivatives such as options, forwards, futures contracts or swap agreements. The Fund invests its assets in investments in a number of different countries throughout the world, and currently invests primarily in those countries where creditors' rights are protected by law, such as countries in North America and Western Europe, although in select situations the Fund may invest in securities of issuers domiciled elsewhere. The credit instruments in which the Fund invests typically are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Credit instruments that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds") are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by focusing on high conviction investment opportunities across the investment universe that it believes offer potentially attractive risk-adjusted income and returns. To accomplish this, the Fund focuses on strategies such as Opportunistic Credit, Special Situations and Capital Structure Solutions.

**Investment Opportunities and Strategies**

The Advisor believes that opportunities exist in non-traditional areas of the credit market that can offer enhanced return potential. These opportunities may offer above market returns because they are misunderstood or can be difficult to source, analyze, structure and/or have illiquidity premiums.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by focusing on strategies such as Opportunistic Credit (including event-driven and market price inefficiencies), Special Situations and Capital Structure Solutions. By focusing on these opportunities, the Advisor believes it can create a portfolio that offers high potential income and returns while limiting the risk of the Fund. These strategies are described in further detail below.

***Opportunistic Credit***

*Event-Driven*

The Fund may take advantage of dislocations that arise in the markets due to an impending event for which the market's apparent expectation of value differs substantially from the view of the Advisor. Event-driven investing requires the Advisor to make judgments concerning, among other things, (i) the likelihood that an event will occur and (ii) the impact such event will have on the value of a company's loans and securities. Such events may include a looming debt maturity or default, 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. Event-driven investing depends much more heavily on the Advisor's ability to successfully predict the outcomes of these events than on underlying macroeconomic fundamentals such as the level of interest rates or gross domestic product. As a result, successful event-driven strategies may offer substantial diversification benefits and the ability to generate performance in uncertain market environments. The Fund's investment strategy revolves around a thorough due diligence process and is based on the belief that a deep understanding of companies and the industries in which they operate is critical to generating positive income and returns.

*Market Price Inefficiencies*

The Fund seeks to capitalize on market price inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds and other securities for which the income of such investment reflects a higher risk premium or the market price of such investment reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by the Advisor's fundamental analysis. These opportunities may often be idiosyncratic in nature, as specific issues or complexity related to a prospective investment may drive the excess yield or total return potential. The Advisor believes that market price inefficiencies may occur due to, among other things, a misunderstanding by the market of a particular company or an industry being out of favor with the broader investment community. Market price inefficiencies may also arise from broader market dislocations, which can include broad-

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

based, risk-off sentiment across multiple markets as well as specific technical dislocations within a single market. The Advisor seeks to allocate capital to securities that have been mispriced by the market and that it believes represent attractive investment opportunities.

***Special Situations***

Idiosyncratic opportunities can generate attractive returns at any point in the credit cycle, with low correlation to credit market indexes. Macro driven credit cycles can provide an additional source of risk-adjusted return to the investment strategy by increasing the investible universe which is often coupled with market dislocations that creates increased discounts to intrinsic value.

***Capital Structure Solutions***

Constrained mandates create an opportunity to lend to companies that do not satisfy conventional lending criteria. Non-traditional borrowers include companies that are overlevered, stressed or distressed businesses, companies without financial sponsors, business / industries in transition, or companies with unconventional assets. Traditional lenders, whether banks, private credit funds or others tend to avoid lending to these businesses because of regulations, limited investment mandates or lack of expertise.

Based on prior experience, the Advisor believes that it can offer target portfolio companies a variety of customized financing solutions to meet their capital needs while providing the Fund with attractive risk-adjusted returns. These solutions are highly structured and offer yield premiums compared to traditional private lending and investments in high yield and broadly syndicated loans. The highly structured nature of the investments can also provide for significant downside protection. The Advisor believes that this capital structure solutions investment strategy provides the Fund with an alternative and differentiated capability that diversifies and enhances its risk-adjusted return profile.

The Fund's capital structure solutions will be targeted towards companies in need of rescue capital, debtor in possession financing, capital to restructure the operations or capital structure of a business, overlevered companies that need growth capital, companies that need capital to finance unconventional assets, companies that need liquidity to deal with transitions or other highly complex situations. There is often limited or no market reciprocation for these types of business, which in turn, creates an opportunity for capital solutions to be highly structured with both strong creditor protections to limit downside and structured returns and success fees to provide attractive risk-adjusted return profiles.

***Other***

Investments may also include other assets or opportunities that are consistent with the Fund's investment approach, provided that such investments are appropriate from a tax, regulatory and operational perspective. The Fund's investment objectives and strategies, including the Fund's intention, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in credit instruments, are not considered to be fundamental by the Fund and may be changed without the vote of the Fund's stockholders by the Board with at least 60 days' written notice provided to stockholders.

The Fund's flexible strategy across several areas of opportunity allows the Advisor to focus on what we believe are the most attractive opportunities across both the public and private markets at any given point in time. We believe this helps to mitigate timing risk and contributes to consistent deal flow.

**Portfolio Composition**

***Securities***

The Fund may invest in both public and private U.S. and non-U.S. debt and equity securities, including, without limitation, senior secured, second lien and unsecured loans, secured and unsecured bonds, loans made to companies involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings (including debtor-in-possession loans), loans made to refinance distressed companies, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and foreign governments, derivatives, structured products, convertible bonds, preferred stocks and any other type of credit or equity investment that is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives. In making these investments, the Fund seeks to purchase a limited number of investments across the investment spectrum that the Advisor believes are mispriced and offer the potential for exceptional risk- adjusted income and returns.

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

***Geography***

The Fund invests primarily in those countries where creditors' rights are protected by law, such as countries in North America and Western Europe, although in select situations the Fund may invest in securities of issuers domiciled elsewhere. The geographic areas of focus are subject to change from time to time and may be changed without notice to the Fund's stockholders. There is no minimum or maximum limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in non-U.S. Securities.

***Other Characteristics***

The Fund invests in companies regardless of market capitalization and may focus on a relatively small number of issuers. The Fund may invest without limitation in distressed securities or other debt that is in default or the issuers of which are engaged in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The mix of the Fund's investments at any time will depend on the industries and types of loans and securities the Advisor believes represent the best risk-adjusted income and returns within the Fund's investment strategies.

The Advisor expects that the Fund's assets will generally be invested in passive positions, although it is possible in certain circumstances the Fund may acquire controlling positions in issuers or seek active participation in the form of representation on creditors' committees, equity holders' committees or other groups. In these situations, the Fund will leverage the expertise of the Advisor to seek preservation or enhancement of the Fund's investment position.

The Fund may hold select and potentially significant positions in equity securities, including common stock and convertible securities, or other assets that the Fund receives in exchange for its credit instruments as part of a reorganization process, and may hold those assets until such time as the Advisor believes that a disposition is most advantageous. Such assets, to the extent received as part of a reorganization process, will be considered "credit instruments" for purposes of the Fund's intention to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in credit instruments. The Fund may also purchase select positions in equity securities, including common stock and convertible securities. Such assets, to the extent purchased in the market or not received as part of a reorganization process, will not be considered "credit instruments" for this purpose.

The Fund's portfolio may consist of both long and short positions. The Fund may also, among other things, use hedging techniques when appropriate from time to time; however, the Fund is under no obligation to do so. Hedging techniques may include capital structure arbitrage to take advantage of inefficiencies in the pricing between securities of the same or affiliated issuers or short positions in debt or equity securities expressed in either the cash or derivatives markets. The Fund may also use derivatives to hedge its foreign currency exposure resulting from its holdings of non-U.S. Securities and may use various indices to hedge the Fund's portfolio during certain market cycles. For purposes of compliance with the Fund's intention, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in credit instruments, investments in derivatives will be valued based on their daily marked-to-market (net) value.

The Fund may invest its excess funds in money market instruments, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, among other instruments. In addition, and in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may invest in high quality fixed income securities, money market instruments and money market funds or may hold significant positions in cash or cash equivalents for defensive purposes.

**Borrowings**

The Fund is permitted to borrow using any form or combination of financial leverage instruments, including credit facilities such as bank loans or commercial paper, the issuance of preferred shares or notes, reverse repurchase agreements or other forms of synthetic leverage. Subject to prevailing market conditions, the Fund may add financial leverage to its portfolio representing up to 33 1/3% (in the event leverage is obtained solely through debt) to 50% (in the event leverage is obtained solely though preferred stock) of the Fund's total assets (including the assets subject to, and obtained with the proceeds of, such instruments, which is the maximum amount permitted under the 1940 Act). The Fund may use leverage opportunistically and may choose to increase or decrease its leverage, or use different types or combinations of leveraging instruments, at any time based on the Fund's assessment of market conditions and the investment environment.

Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after doing so the Fund has an asset coverage of at least 300% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of indebtedness (i.e., such indebtedness may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets including the amount borrowed). Additionally, under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not declare any dividend or other distribution upon any class of its shares, or purchase any such shares, unless the aggregate indebtedness of the Fund has, at the time of the declaration of any such dividend or distribution or at the time of any such purchase, asset coverage of at least 300% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution, or purchase price, as the case may be. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is not permitted to issue preferred shares unless immediately after such issuance the total asset value of the Fund's portfolio is at least 200% of the liquidation value of the outstanding preferred shares (i.e., such liquidation value may not exceed 50% of the Fund's Managed Assets). In addition, the Fund is not permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on its common stock unless, at the time of such declaration, the net asset value of the Fund's portfolio (determined after deducting the amount of such dividend or other distribution) is at least 200% of such liquidation value of the preferred shares.

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

Effective August 19, 2022, Rule 18f-4 replaced the asset segregation framework previously used by funds to comply with limitations on leverage imposed by the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 generally mandates that a fund either limit derivatives exposure to 10% or less of its net assets as a limited derivative user, or Limited Derivatives User, or in the alternative implement: (i) limits on leverage calculated based on value-at-risk; and (ii) a written derivatives risk management program administered by a derivatives risk manager appointed by the fund's board, including a majority of the independent directors, that is periodically reviewed by the board.

Rule 18f-4 permits the Fund to enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions, notwithstanding limitations on the issuance of senior securities under Section 18 of the 1940 Act, provided that the Fund either (i) treats these transactions as derivatives transactions under Rule 18f-4, or (ii) ensures that the 300% asset coverage ratio discussed above is met with respect to such transactions and any other borrowings in the aggregate. Since the prior disclosure date, the "Borrowings" section has been updated to reflect regulatory changes pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act.

The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased income and returns for Fund stockholders but, at the same time, creates risks, including the likelihood of greater volatility in the NAV of and distributions on Fund Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the Fund will use leverage or that its leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed. The Fund may be subject to investment restrictions of one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, or NRSROs, and/or credit facility lenders as a result of its use of financial leverage. These restrictions may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. It is not anticipated that these covenants or portfolio requirements will significantly impede the Advisor in managing the Fund's portfolio in accordance with its investment objectives and strategies. Nonetheless, if these covenants or guidelines are more restrictive than those imposed by the 1940 Act, the Fund may not be able to utilize as much leverage as it otherwise could have, which could reduce the Fund's investment income and returns. In addition, the Fund expects that any notes it issues or credit facility/commercial paper program it may enter into would contain covenants that, among other things, will likely impose geographic exposure limitations, credit quality minimums, liquidity minimums, concentration limitations and currency hedging requirements on the Fund. These covenants would also likely limit the Fund's ability to pay distributions in certain circumstances, incur additional debt, change fundamental investment policies and engage in certain transactions, including mergers and consolidations. Such restrictions could cause the Advisor to make different investment decisions than if there were no such restrictions and could limit the ability of the Fund Board and Fund stockholders to change fundamental investment policies.

In connection with the use of a credit facility for leverage, the Fund may permit the lender, subject to certain conditions, to rehypothecate (i.e., lend to other counter-parties) portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund would expect the terms of the credit facility to provide that the Fund would continue to receive dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also would expect to have the right under the credit facility to recall rehypothecated securities from the lender on demand. The Fund would also expect that, if the lender fails to deliver a recalled security in a timely manner, the credit facility would provide for compensation to the Fund by the lender for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by the lender, for the Fund, upon notice to the lender, to reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned.

The Fund would expect the terms of any such credit facility pursuant to which portfolio securities pledged by the Fund are rehypothecated to provide for the Fund's receipt of a portion of the fees earned by the lender in connection with the rehypothecation of such portfolio securities. The use of a credit facility that permits the lender to rehypothecate the Fund's pledged portfolio securities entails risks, including the risk that the lender will be unable or unwilling to return rehypothecated securities which could result in, among other things, the Fund's inability to find suitable investments to replace the unreturned securities, thereby impairing the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives.

***Effects of Leverage***

The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in shares of our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $2.4 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 5.80%, (iii) $950.0 million in debt outstanding and (iv) $1.4 billion in net assets. In order to compute the "Corresponding return to stockholders," the "Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)" is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds times the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our net assets to determine the "Corresponding return to stockholders." Actual interest payments may be different.

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

Similarly, assuming (i) $2.4 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 5.80% and (iii) $950.0 million in debt outstanding, our assets would need to yield an annual return (net of expenses) of approximately 1.69% in order to cover the annual interest payments on our outstanding debt.

**<u>Principal Risk Factors</u>**

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth below. The risks described below are not, and are not intended to be, a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Fund. The risks described below are considered the principal risks involved in an investment of the Fund. Various risk factors included below have been updated since the prior disclosure date to reflect certain updates.

Additionally, since the prior disclosure date, Focused Investment Risk has been added as principal risk factors of the Fund.

**Senior Secured Debt Risk.** Senior secured debt typically will be secured by liens on the assets and/or cash flows of the borrower and holds the most senior position in its capital structure. Senior secured debt in most circumstances is initially fully collateralized by the borrower's assets and thus it is repaid before unsecured debt and equity. Substantial increases in interest rates, however, may cause an increase in loan defaults as borrowers may lack resources to meet higher debt service requirements, or as a result of the impact on general business conditions caused by higher interest rates, and there can be no guarantee that secured senior debt, even if fully collateralized at origination, will be fully repaid after an event of default or if collateral values have fallen. Also, the security for the Fund's senior secured debt investments may not be recognized for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Fund may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated.

**Credit Risk.** The Fund's debt investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal by the borrowers with respect to such investments. Such non-payment would likely result in a reduction of income to the Fund and a reduction in the value of the debt investments experiencing non-payment.

Although the Fund may invest in investments that the Advisor believes are secured by specific collateral, the value of which may exceed the principal amount of the investments at the time of initial investment, there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any such collateral would satisfy the borrower's obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments with respect to such investment, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy of a borrower, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing an investment. Under certain circumstances, collateral securing an investment may be released without the consent of the Fund. Moreover, the Fund's investments in secured debt may be unperfected for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Fund may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated. The Fund's right to payment and its security interest, if any, may be subordinated to the payment rights and security interests of more senior creditors. Certain of these investments may have an interest-only payment schedule, with the principal amount remaining outstanding and at risk until the maturity of the investment. In this case, a portfolio company's ability to repay the principal of an investment may be dependent upon a liquidity event or the long-term success of the company, the occurrence of which is uncertain.

Companies in which the Fund invests could deteriorate as a result of, among other factors, an adverse development in their business, a change in the competitive environment or an economic downturn. As a result, companies that the Fund expected to be stable may operate, or expect to operate, at a loss or have significant variations in operating results, may require substantial additional capital to support their operations or maintain their competitive position, or may otherwise have a weak financial condition or be experiencing financial distress.

**Non-U.S. Securities Risk.** Investments in certain securities and other instruments of non-U.S. issuers or borrowers, or non-U.S. securities, involve factors not typically associated with investing in the United States or other developed countries, including, but not limited to, risks relating to: (i) differences between U.S. and non-U.S. securities markets, including potential price volatility in and relative illiquidity of some non-U.S. securities markets; the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements; and less government supervision and regulation; (ii) other differences in law and regulation, including fewer investor protections, less stringent fiduciary duties, less developed bankruptcy laws and difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations; (iii) certain economic, geo-political and political risks, including potential economic, political or social instability; exchange control regulations; restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, possibly requiring government approval; expropriation or confiscatory taxation; other government restrictions by the United States or other governments; higher rates of inflation; higher transaction costs; and reliance on a more limited number of commodity inputs, service providers and/or distribution mechanisms; and (iv) the possible imposition of local taxes on income and gains recognized with respect to securities and assets. Certain non-U.S. markets may rely heavily on particular industries or non-U.S. capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. International trade barriers or economic sanctions against non-U.S. countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals may adversely affect the Fund's non-U.S. holdings or exposures. Certain non-U.S. investments may become less liquid in response to social, political or market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. Certain non-U.S. investments may become illiquid when, for instance, there are few, if any, interested buyers and sellers or when dealers are unwilling to make a market for certain securities. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value, especially in

changing markets. The risks of investments in emerging markets, including the risks described above, are usually greater than the risks involved in investing in more developed markets. Because non-U.S. securities may trade on days when the Fund's shares of common stock are not priced, NAV may change at times when shares of common stock cannot be sold.

**Foreign Currency Risk.** Investments made by the Fund, and the income received by the Fund with respect to such investments, may be denominated in various non-U.S. currencies. However, the books of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in currency values may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of portfolio investments, interest and other revenue streams received by the Fund, gains and losses realized on the sale of portfolio investments and the amount of distributions, if any, made by the Fund. In addition, the Fund may incur substantial costs in converting investment proceeds from one currency to another. The Fund may enter into derivative transactions designed to reduce such currency risks. Furthermore, the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests may be subject to risks relating to changes in currency values. If a portfolio company suffers adverse consequences as a result of such changes, the Fund may also be adversely affected as a result.

**Derivatives Risk.** The Fund may use derivative instruments including, in particular, swaps and other similar transactions, in seeking to achieve its investment objective or for other reasons, such as cash management, financing activities or to hedge its positions. Accordingly, these derivatives may be used in limited instances as a form of leverage or to seek to enhance returns, including speculation on changes in credit spreads, interest rates or other characteristics of the market, individual securities or groups of securities. If the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative's cost. The use of derivatives may involve substantial leverage. The use of derivatives may subject the Fund to various risks, including counterparty risk, currency risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, correlation risk, index risk and regulatory risk.

Furthermore, the Fund's ability to successfully use derivatives depends on the Advisor's ability to predict pertinent securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors, which cannot be assured. Additionally, segregated liquid assets, amounts paid by the Fund as premiums and cash or other assets held in margin accounts with respect to derivatives are not otherwise available to the Fund for investment purposes.

Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, or the Derivatives Rule, provides a comprehensive framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. The Derivatives Rule permits registered investment companies, subject to various conditions described below, to enter into derivatives transactions and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act.

Registered investment companies that don't qualify as "limited derivatives users" as defined below, are required by the Derivatives Rule to, among other things, (i) adopt and implement a DRMP, and new testing requirements; (ii) comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on VaR; and (iii) comply with new requirements related to Board and SEC reporting. The DRMP is administered by a "derivatives risk manager," who is appointed by the Board and periodically reviews the DRMP and reports to the Board.

The Derivatives Rule provides an exception from the DRMP, VaR limit and certain other requirements for a registered investment company that limits its "derivatives exposure" to no more than 10% of its net assets (as calculated in accordance with the Derivatives Rule) (a "limited derivatives user"), provided that the registered investment company establishes appropriate policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage derivatives risks, including the risk of exceeding the 10% "derivatives exposure" threshold.

The requirements of the Derivatives Rule may limit the Fund's ability to engage in derivatives transactions as part of the Fund's investment strategies. These requirements may also increase the cost of the Fund's investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments and/or its performance. The rule also may not be effective to limit the Fund's risk of loss. In particular, measurements of VaR rely on historical data and may not accurately measure the degree of risk reflected in the Fund's derivatives or other investments. There may be additional regulation of the use of derivatives transactions by registered investment companies, which could significantly affect the Fund's use. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives transactions may make them more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

**Rule 144A Securities Risk.** The Fund may purchase certain securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional buyers as contemplated by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or Rule 144A Securities. Rule 144A provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the resale of certain restricted securities to certain qualified institutional buyers. One effect of Rule 144A is that certain restricted securities may be considered liquid, though no assurance can be given that a liquid market for Rule 144A Securities will develop or be maintained. However, where a substantial market of qualified institutional buyers has developed for certain unregistered securities purchased by the Fund pursuant to Rule 144A, the Fund intends to treat such securities as liquid securities in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. Because it is not possible to predict with certainty how the market for Rule 144A Securities will develop, the Board directs the Advisor to carefully monitor the Fund's investments in such securities with particular regard to trading activity, availability of reliable price information and other relevant information. To the extent that, for a period of time, qualified institutional buyers cease purchasing restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144A, the Fund's investing in such securities may have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in its investment portfolio during such period.

**Summary of Updated Information Regarding the Fund (Unaudited)**

**Subordinated Loans Risk.** Subordinated loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in senior loans, except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a subordinated loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan to the extent such claim is secured. Additionally, an oversecured creditor may be entitled to additional interest and other charges in bankruptcy increasing the amount of their allowed claim. Subordinated loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Subordinated loans generally have greater price volatility than senior loans and may be less liquid.

**Below Investment Grade Rating Risk.** The Fund may invest unlimited amounts in debt instruments that are rated below investment grade, which are often referred to as "high-yield" securities or "junk bonds." Below investment grade senior loans, high-yield securities and other similar instruments are rated "Ba1" or lower by Moody's, "BB+" or lower by S&P or "BB+" or lower by Fitch or, if unrated, are judged by the Advisor to be of comparable credit quality. While generally providing greater income and opportunity for gain, below investment grade debt instruments may be subject to greater risks than securities or instruments that have higher credit ratings, including a higher risk of default. The credit rating of a corporate bond and senior loan that is rated below investment grade does not necessarily address its market value risk, and ratings may from time to time change, positively or negatively, to reflect developments regarding the borrower's financial condition. Below investment grade corporate bonds and senior loans and similar instruments often are considered to be speculative with respect to the capacity of the borrower to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have more credit risk than higher rated securities. Lower grade securities and similar debt instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns. It is likely that a prolonged or deepening economic recession could adversely affect the ability of some borrowers issuing such corporate bonds, senior loans and similar debt instruments to repay principal and pay interest on the instrument, increase the incidence of default and severely disrupt the market value of the securities and similar debt instruments.

**Control Share Acquisitions Act Risks*.*** The Fund's Bylaws opted into the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, or the MCSAA. The MCSAA does not apply to the voting rights of any person acquiring shares of any class or series of stock of the Fund other than common stock. On June 29, 2023, Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., and Saba Capital Management, L.P. together, Saba, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court S.D.N.Y. against sixteen closed-end funds and certain trustees of some of the funds. One of the funds named as a defendant in Saba's complaint was the Fund. In the complaint, Saba sought (1) declaratory relief that provisions in the defendant funds' governing documents that opted into the MCSAA, or the Control Share Provisions, violate the 1940 Act, and (2) rescission of the Control Share Provisions. On December 5, 2023, the U.S. District Court S.D.N.Y. issued a ruling granting summary judgment in favor of Saba and ordering the rescission of the Control Share Provisions. The Fund and the other funds remaining in the case appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and on June 26, 2024, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision in favor of Saba and affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the Control Share Provisions violated the 1940 Act. On September 24, 2024, the Fund and certain other defendant funds filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court take the appeal in order to resolve the question of whether Section 47(b) of the 1940 Act allows for a private right of action. Saba filed its opposition to the Petition on December 17, 2024, and the Fund and certain other defendant funds filed their reply on December 23, 2024. On January 13, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court entered an order inviting the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief expressing the views of the United States. On May 22, 2025, the U.S. Solicitor General filed a brief expressing the views that the Supreme Court should grant certiorari and hear the appeal. On June 30, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to hear the appeal. On December 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments; the court has not yet issued its opinion.

**Economic Downturn or Recession or Other Market Disruption.** Many of the Fund's investments may be issued by companies susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. Therefore, the Fund's non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of its portfolio is likely to decrease, during these periods. A prolonged recession may result in losses of value in the Fund's portfolio and a decrease in the Fund's revenues, net income and NAV. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase the Fund's funding costs, limit the Fund's access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to it on terms it deems acceptable. These events could prevent the Fund from increasing investments and harm the Fund's operating results.

The Fund may also be adversely affected by uncertainties and events around the world, such as public health emergencies, terrorism, political developments, and changes in government policies, taxation, threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of the countries in which it is invested.

Additionally, various countries have seen significant internal conflicts and in some cases, civil wars may have had an adverse impact on the securities markets of the countries concerned. In addition, the occurrence of new disturbances due to acts of war or terrorism or other political developments cannot be excluded. Nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes, government regulation, political, regulatory or social instability or uncertainty or diplomatic developments, including the imposition of sanctions or other similar measures, could adversely affect the Fund's investments.

The current presidential administration has called for and is seeking to quickly enact significant changes to U.S. fiscal, tax, trade, healthcare, immigration, foreign, and government regulatory policy. Significant uncertainty exists with respect to legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal level, as well as the state and local levels. Recent events have created a climate of heightened

uncertainty and introduced new and difficult-to-quantify macroeconomic and political risks with potentially far-reaching implications. There has been a corresponding meaningful increase in the uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, trade volumes and fiscal and monetary policy. Although the Fund cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to the Fund's business, they could adversely affect the Fund's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

**Focused Investment Risk.** To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in a particular industry, the NAV of the Fund will be more susceptible to events or factors affecting companies in that industry. These may include, but are not limited to, governmental regulation, inflation, changes in interest rates, cost increases in raw materials, fuel and other operating expenses, technological innovations that may render existing products and equipment obsolete, competition from new entrants, high research and development costs, increased costs associated with compliance with environmental or other regulation and other economic, market, political or other developments specific to that industry. Also, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in companies in related sectors that may share common characteristics, are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens and whose securities may react similarly to the types of events and factors described above, which will subject the Fund to greater risk. The Fund also will be subject to focused investment risk to the extent that it invests a substantial portion of its assets in a particular country or geographic region.

**Inflation and Deflation Risk.** Inflation risk is the risk that the value of certain assets or income from the Fund's investments may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund's securities and distributions to its shareholders can decline. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, the dividend rates or borrowing costs associated with the Fund's use of leverage would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to investors.

Certain of the Fund's portfolio companies are in industries that may be impacted by inflation. If such portfolio companies are unable to pass any increases in their costs of operations along to their customers, it could adversely affect their operating results and impact their ability to pay interest and principal on the Fund's loans, particularly if interest rates rise in response to inflation. In addition, any projected future decreases in the Fund's portfolio companies' operating results due to inflation could adversely impact the fair value of those investments. Any decreases in the fair value of the Fund's investments could result in future realized or unrealized losses and therefore reduce the Fund's net assets resulting from operations.

Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time, or the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer defaults more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund's portfolio.

**Interest Rate Risk.** The Fund is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on the Fund's investments, investment opportunities and cost of capital and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on the Fund's investment objectives, the Fund's rate of return on invested capital and the Fund's ability to service its debt and make distributions to stockholders. In addition, an increase in interest rates would make it more expensive to use debt for the Fund's financing needs, if any.

The Fund's investment portfolio primarily consists of senior secured debt. The longer the duration of these securities, generally, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates. As market interest rates increase, those securities with a lower yield-at-cost can experience a mark-to-market unrealized loss. An impairment of the fair market value of its investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in the Fund's financial statements for the applicable period and may therefore have a material adverse effect on the Fund's results of operations for that period. A reduction in interest rates may result in both lower interest rates on new investments and higher repayments on current investments with high interest rates, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund's net investment income and results of operations.

Because the Fund incurs indebtedness to make investments, the Fund's net investment income is dependent, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows funds or pays interest on any debt securities and the rate at which the Fund invests these funds. The recent increases in interest rates will make it more expensive to use debt to finance the Fund's investments and to refinance any financing arrangements. In addition, certain of the Fund's financing arrangements provide for adjustments in the loan interest rate along with changes in market interest rates. Therefore, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund's cost of funds will increase, which could materially reduce the Fund's net investment income. Any reduction in the level of interest rates on new investments relative to interest rates on the Fund's current investments could also adversely impact the Fund's net investment income.

The Fund has and may continue to structure the majority of its debt investments with floating interest rates to position the Fund's portfolio for rate increases. However, there can be no assurance that this will successfully mitigate the Fund's exposure to interest rate risk. For example, in rising interest rate environments, payments under floating rate debt instruments generally would rise and there may be a significant number of issuers of such floating rate debt instruments that would be unable or unwilling to pay such increased interest costs and may otherwise be unable to repay their loans. Rising interest rates could also cause portfolio companies to shift cash from other productive uses to the payment of interest, which may have a material adverse effect on their business and operations and could, over time, lead to increased defaults. Investments in floating rate debt instruments may also decline in value in response to rising interest rates if the interest rates of such investments do not rise as much, or as quickly, as market interest rates in general. Similarly, during periods of rising interest rates, the Fund's fixed rate investments may decline in value because the fixed rate of interest paid thereunder may be below market interest rates.

Furthermore, because a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to the Fund's debt investments, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for the Fund to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate in its Investment Advisory Agreement and may result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to the Advisor with respect to pre-incentive fee net investment income.

**Force Majeure Risk.** Periods of market volatility have occurred and could continue to occur in response to pandemics or other events outside of the Fund's control. The Fund, the Advisor, and the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests could be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond the control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, such as acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any other serious public health concern, war, terrorism, labor strikes, major plant breakdowns, pipeline or electricity line ruptures, failure of technology, defective design and construction, accidents, demographic changes, government macroeconomic policies, social instability, etc.). Some force majeure events could adversely affect the ability of a party (including the Fund, the Advisor, a portfolio company or a counterparty to the Fund, the Advisor, or a portfolio company) to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy the force majeure event. In addition, force majeure events, such as the cessation of the operation of equipment for repair or upgrade, could similarly lead to the unavailability of essential equipment and technologies. These risks could, among other effects, adversely impact the cash flows available from a portfolio company, cause personal injury or loss of life, including to a senior manager of the Advisor or its affiliates, damage property, or instigate disruptions of service. In addition, the cost to a portfolio company or the Fund of repairing or replacing damaged assets resulting from such force majeure event could be considerable. It will not be possible to insure against all such events, and insurance proceeds received, if any, could be inadequate to completely or even partially cover any loss of revenues or investments, any increases in operating and maintenance expenses, or any replacements or rehabilitation of property. Certain events causing catastrophic loss could be either uninsurable, or insurable at such high rates as to adversely impact the Fund, the Advisor, or portfolio companies, as applicable. Force majeure events that are incapable of or are too costly to cure could have permanent adverse effects. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an infectious disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international business activity generally, or in any of the countries in which the Fund invests or its portfolio companies operate specifically. Such force majeure events could result in or coincide with: increased volatility in the global securities, derivatives and currency markets; a decrease in the reliability of market prices and difficulty in valuing assets; greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); further social, economic, and political instability; nationalization of private enterprise; greater governmental involvement in the economy or in social factors that impact the economy; less governmental regulation and supervision of the securities markets and market participants and decreased monitoring of the markets by governments or self-regulatory organizations and reduced enforcement of regulations; limited, or limitations on, the activities of investors in such markets; controls or restrictions on foreign investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (*i.e.*, a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation, which can last many years and have substantial negative effects on credit and securities markets as well as the economy as a whole; recessions; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments.

**Market Price of Common Stock.** Common stock of closed-end funds frequently trades at a price lower than their net asset value. This is commonly referred to as "trading at a discount." This characteristic of common stock of closed-end funds is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund's net asset value may decrease. Both long and short-term investors will be exposed to this risk. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and should not be considered a vehicle for trading purposes. Whether investors will realize a gain or loss upon the sale of the Fund's common stock will depend upon whether the market value of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the price the investor paid, taking into account transaction costs, for the common stock and is not directly dependent upon the Fund's net asset value. Because the market value of the Fund's common stock will be determined by factors such as the relative demand for and supply of the common stock in the market, general market conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether its common stock will trade at, below or above NAV, or below or above the initial listing price for the common stock.

**Stockholder Activism.** The Fund may in the future become the target of stockholder activism. Stockholder activism could result in substantial costs and divert management's and the Board's attention and resources from its business. Also, the Fund may be required to incur significant legal and other expenses related to any activist stockholder matters. Further, the Fund's stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any stockholder activism.

**Secondary Market for the Common Stock.** The issuance of shares of common stock of the Fund through the Fund's DRP may have an adverse effect on the secondary market for the Fund's shares. The increase in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the issuances pursuant to the DRP and the discount to the market price at which such shares may be issued, may put downward pressure on the market price for the common stock. When the shares of the common stock are trading at a premium, the Fund may also issue shares that may be sold through private transactions effected on the NYSE or through broker-dealers.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions.** Maryland law and the Fund's Charter and Bylaws include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund, including the adoption of a staggered board of directors and the supermajority voting requirements. These provisions could deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their common stock at a premium over the then current market price of the common stock or at NAV.

**Cybersecurity Risks.** Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes, and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack, or damage. The Fund, its affiliates and the Fund's and its affiliates' respective third-party service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cybersecurity risks have significantly increased in recent years and, while the Fund has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, it could suffer such losses in the future.

The Fund's affiliates and respective third-party service providers' computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including non-public personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund's operations or the operations of the Fund's affiliates and the Fund and its affiliates' respective third-party service providers. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the Fund's business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks.

**Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technology Risks***.* Artificial intelligence, including machine learning and similar tools and technologies that collect, aggregate, analyze or generate data or other materials, or collectively, AI, and its current and potential future applications including in the private investment and financial industries, as well as the legal and regulatory frameworks within which AI operates, continue to rapidly evolve.

Recent technological advances in AI pose risks to the Fund, the Advisor, and the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests. The Fund and the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests could also be exposed to the risks of AI if third-party service providers or any counterparties, whether or not known to the Fund, also use AI in their business activities. The Fund and the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests may not be in a position to control the use of AI technology in third-party products or services.

Use of AI could include the input of confidential information in contravention of applicable policies, contractual or other obligations or restrictions, resulting in such confidential information becoming accessible by other third-party AI applications and users. While the Advisor does not currently use AI to make investment recommendations, the use of AI could also exacerbate or create new and unpredictable risks to the Fund's business, the Advisor's business, and the business of the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests, including by potentially significantly disrupting the markets in which the Fund and its portfolio companies operate or subjecting the Fund, the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests, and the Advisor to increased competition and regulation, which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Fund, the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests, and the Advisor. In addition, the use of AI by bad actors could heighten the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber and security attacks experienced by the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests and the Advisor.

Independent of its context of use, AI technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that AI technology utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error—potentially materially so—and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed, which would be likely to degrade the effectiveness of AI technology. To the extent that the Fund or the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests are exposed to the risks of AI use, any such inaccuracies or errors could have adverse impacts on the Fund or the portfolio companies in which the Fund invests.

AI technology and its applications, including in the private investment and financial sectors, continue to develop rapidly, and it is impossible to predict the future risks that may arise from such developments.

**Cash Balance Risk.** The Fund's cash is held in accounts at U.S. banking institutions. Cash held by the Fund and its portfolio companies in non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing operating accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. If such banking institutions were to fail, the Fund or its portfolio companies could lose all or a portion of those amounts held in excess of such insurance limitations. In addition, actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems, which could adversely affect the Fund and its portfolio companies' business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

Although the Fund assesses its portfolio companies' banking relationships as necessary or appropriate, the Fund and its portfolio companies' access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize the Fund or its portfolio companies' respective current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Fund or its portfolio companies, the financial institutions with which the Fund or its portfolio companies have arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which

the Fund or its portfolio companies have financial or business relationships but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for the Fund or its portfolio companies to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all.

**Portfolio Manager Information.** There have been no changes in the Fund's portfolio managers or background since the prior disclosure date.

**How we use and disclose information**

Future Standard, its affiliates and its third-party service providers work together to provide a variety of investments and services and may need to share some or all of the non-public personal information collected about you to maintain an efficient and effective network of offerings and services. The responsible use and disclosure of the non-public personal information we collect is crucial to our ability to provide our clients with the types of products and services they expect and may occur under a variety of different circumstances.

For example, we may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Use your personally identifiable information internally for the purposes of furthering our business, which may include analyzing your information, matching your information with the information of others, processing services, maintaining accounts, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and verifying your identity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disclose your personally identifiable information when required by law (e.g., in connection with judicial, administrative or investigative matters).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Use and disclose your personally identifiable information on an aggregate basis. This means that we may combine parts of your information with parts of the information from our other investors without including your name, complete telephone number, complete email address or your street address in the combination. Examples of how we use aggregate information include determining the most common ZIP Code among investors that use the website and disclosing that ZIP Code to other parties or determining and disclosing demographic information such as the average income of investors in our sponsored investments.

**Sharing with our affiliates**

We may share your personally identifiable information with our affiliates engaged in investment or other related financial service activities. Examples might include customer-initiated service requests, establishing and managing your investment, completing your investor transactions and sharing information with parties acting at your request and on your account, such as your broker-dealer, financial professional, joint owners and IRA custodian.

**Sharing with non-affiliated service providers**

We may disclose your personal information to non-affiliated service providers who perform business functions on our behalf, which may include marketing of our own sponsored investments and services, check printing and data processing. Non-affiliated third-party service providers often aid us in the efficient and effective delivery of services, and there may be circumstances in which it is necessary to disclose non-public personal information we collect to such parties. However, before we disclose non-public personal information to a non-affiliated party, we require it to agree to keep our investor information confidential and secure and to use it only as authorized by us.

Also, we will only share your non-public information with non-affiliated third parties under circumstances covered by state or federal law "opt-out" notice exceptions, such as servicing a financial product or service authorized by the customer, resolving

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i0b9de7718f8e488aaabce4c2733372a2_19)</u>

consumer disputes and protecting against potential fraud or unauthorized transactions. Should this policy ever change in the future, you will be given adequate notice and the option to "opt-out" of such disclosure.

We may also disclose the following information to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Information we receive from you on applications or other forms, such as your name, address, Social Security number, assets and income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as your payment history and parties to the transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Information we receive from a consumer-reporting agency, such as your creditworthiness and credit history.

We require all joint marketers to have written contracts with us that specify appropriate use of your personal information, require them to take steps to safeguard your personal information and prohibit them from making unauthorized or unlawful use of your personal information.

Future Standard and its affiliates do not share, sell or rent your personal, private information with outside marketers who may want to offer their own products and services to you.

**How we protect your information**

Future Standard and its affiliates maintain a comprehensive information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against threats or hazards to the security of such information and prevent unauthorized access. This program includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Procedures and specifications for administrative, technical and physical safeguards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Security procedures related to the processing, storage, retention and disposal of confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Programs to detect, prevent and, when necessary, respond to attacks, intrusions or unauthorized access to confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restricting customer information access to employees who need to know that information to provide products and services to you and appointing specific employees to oversee our information security program.

**Notification of changes to our Privacy Policy**

If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our website. If at any point we decide to use or disclose your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you in writing. We will otherwise use and disclose a user's or an investor's personally identifiable information in accordance with the privacy policy that was in effect when such information was collected.

**Change in control**

If Future Standard or any of its affiliates experience a "change in control" (as defined below), then we may amend our information practices as described in this Privacy Policy. We will disclose your personally identifiable information to the company or other legal entity that succeeds us (subject to the change in control or the operation of the website). The privacy policy of the succeeding legal entity will then govern the personally identifiable information that Future Standard or its affiliates collected from you under this Privacy Policy or such successor entity's privacy policy. However, if applicable law prohibits the succeeding legal entity's privacy policy from governing your personally identifiable information, then this Privacy Policy shall continue to govern. "Change in control" means any of the following events:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition or other restructuring involving all or substantially all of Future Standard or an affiliate's voting securities and/or assets, by operation of law or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Insolvency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The appointment of a receiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The liquidation of assets.

Not applicable.

**Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.**

At a meeting of the Board held on November 11, 2025, the Board, including a majority of those directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, or the Independent Directors, considered and approved the continuation of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement with FS Global Advisor. In approving the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered information furnished and discussed throughout the year at Board meetings and executive sessions with management and counsel, including information specifically provided for the consideration of the reapproval of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement in response to requests for information from the Independent Directors and their independent legal counsel.

In their deliberations, the Board considered a range of materials and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FS Global Advisor; the past performance of the Fund compared to relevant indices and other registered investment companies that FS Global Advisor believed were relatively comparable to the Fund in terms of structure, investment objectives, assets under management, portfolio mix and/or other similar criteria, or the Peer Funds; the fees and expenses of the Fund compared to the Peer Funds; the possibility of economies of scale that could be passed on to the Fund; and the profitability of FS Global Advisor. The Board also considered information related to potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits enjoyed by FS Global Advisor (and its affiliates) as a result of its relationship with the Fund. In addition to evaluating, among other things, the written information provided by FS Global Advisor, the Board also considered presentations from FS Global Advisor and the answers to questions posed by the Board to representatives of FS Global Advisor at the meeting.

The Independent Directors also met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel to review and consider the information provided regarding the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on their review, the Independent Directors and the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuation of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional year. In their deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's determinations are discussed below.

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Services:* In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by FS Global Advisor as investment adviser to the Fund, the Board reviewed information describing the financial strength, experience, resources, compliance programs and key personnel of FS Global Advisor, including the background and capabilities of the advisory team. The Board recognized the significant investment of time, capital and human resources provided by Future Standard that has resulted in the successful operation of the Fund and FS Global Advisor's general success in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the administrative services FS Global Advisor provides to the Fund, including general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services.

The Board and the Independent Directors determined that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by FS Global Advisor, the expertise and capabilities of FS Global Advisor's personnel, FS Global Advisor's financial strength and its efforts to support the management of the Fund going forward.

*Review of Performance:* The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Fund's historical investment performance for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, since the Fund's inception, and since-December 31, 2017, as compared to the performance of relevant benchmarks and the Peer Funds. The Independent Directors noted that, for all periods reviewed, on a gross returns and net returns basis, the Fund outperformed each of its benchmark indices. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed the Peer Funds for the 5-year period ended June 30, 2025, and for the period since December 31, 2017, and the average of the Peer Funds for each period reviewed. The Independent Directors also considered the Fund's annualized distribution yield and the Fund's discount to NAV since the Fund's listing in November 2022.

*Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized:* The Board considered the management and incentive fees under the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement and the Fund's net expense ratios as compared to a group of investment companies that FS Global Advisor believed to be relatively comparable to the Fund in terms of structure, investment objectives, assets under management, portfolio mix and/or similar criteria. The Independent Directors considered that the Fund's base management fee was higher than most of the other funds against which it was compared and that most of the other funds do not charge incentive fees. The Independent Directors noted that the Fund's expense ratio was also higher than the average of its peers. The Board considered FS Global Advisor's explanation that the Fund's investment strategy is more similar to strategies employed by private hedge funds than publicly-traded, closed-end high yield funds and that the Fund's use of leverage and the event driven and special situations investment strategies elevate the Fund's gross expense levels.

The Board reviewed the profitability information provided by FS Global Advisor and its methodology for determining profitability, as well as the potential for economies of scale. The Board determined that the investment advisory fees, expense ratios and profitability were reasonable in relation to the services rendered to the Fund by FS Global Advisor. The Board also considered that the potential for economies of scale are less likely to be significant given the Fund's structure and focus on identifying and capitalizing upon event driven, special situations and market price inefficiency investment opportunities, which require considerable resources. The Board also considered FS Global Advisor's commitment to monitor economies of scale on an ongoing basis.

*Other Benefits:* The Board considered other benefits that may accrue to FS Global Advisor and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including that FS Global Advisor may potentially benefit from the success of the Fund, which could attract other business to FS Global Advisor, and that FS Global Advisor, its affiliates and other funds they manage have the ability to co-invest with the Fund under the co-investment relief granted by the SEC.

*Overall Conclusions:* Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of the continuation of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuation of the A&R Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional year.

*Potential Conflicts of Interest*

The Advisor and certain of its affiliates may experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of the Fund, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The managers, officers and other personnel of the Advisor allocate their time, as they deem appropriate, between advising the Fund and managing and operating other investment activities and business activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of other entities affiliated with Future Standard;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The principals of the Advisor may serve as officers, paid advisors, directors or in comparable management functions for portfolio companies in which the Fund invests, and may receive compensation in connection therewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor may have overlapping investment objectives across its funds, accounts or other investment vehicles or its affiliates' funds, accounts, or other investment vehicles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Fund may now, or in the future, compete with other funds or clients managed or advised by the Advisor or affiliates of the Advisor for investment opportunities, subjecting the Advisor and its affiliates to certain conflicts of interest in evaluating the suitability of investment opportunities and making or recommending acquisitions or sales on the Fund's behalf;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subject to applicable law, the Advisor and its affiliates may now, or in the future, acquire, hold or sell securities in which the Fund invests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In some cases, the Advisor or an affiliate will receive a fee from a third-party investor for making excess investment opportunities available, and such fee creates an incentive to recommend such opportunities to the Fund or the Fund Complex and to allocate opportunities to such a third-party investor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor and its affiliates are subject to conflicts of interest because of the varying compensation arrangements among their respective clients. For example, certain funds are subject to incentive fees, while certain other funds are not, which could incentivize the Advisor or its affiliates to favor certain funds when allocating investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Members of the senior management and investment teams and other employees of the Advisor or its members or their respective affiliates may from time to time invest in portfolio companies in which the Fund invests.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i0b9de7718f8e488aaabce4c2733372a2_19)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Regardless of the quality of the assets acquired by the Fund, the services provided to the Fund or whether the Fund makes distributions to stockholders, the Advisor will receive the management fee in connection with the management of the Fund's portfolio(other than during periods in which the Advisor has agreed to waive any or all of such fees);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• From time to time, to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Fund and other clients for which the Advisor or its affiliates provides investment management services or carry on investment activities may make investments at different levels of an issuer's capital structure or otherwise in different classes of an issuer's securities, as may be permitted by law and subject to compliance with appropriate procedures. These investments give rise to inherent conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest between or among the various classes of securities that may be held by the Fund and such other clients and may make certain investment opportunities, which might otherwise be desirable, unavailable or impractical even if appropriate procedures are in place. Additionally, investment at different levels of an issuer's capital structure or otherwise in different classes of an issuer's securities by the Fund and other clients of the Advisor or its affiliates may result in the Advisor or its affiliates coming into possession of confidential or material, non-public information that would limit the ability of the Fund to acquire or dispose of investments, even if such acquisition or disposition would otherwise be desirable. This could constrain the Fund's investment flexibility and result in the Fund being unable or restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities or liquidating or selling certain investments at a time when the Advisor would otherwise take an action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor and its respective affiliates may give advice and recommend securities to other clients, family or friends, in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of such other clients, family or friends, which may differ from advice given to, or the timing or nature of the action taken with respect to, the Fund so long as it is their policy, to the extent practicable, to recommend for allocation and/or allocate investment opportunities to the Fund on a fair and equitable basis relative to their other clients, family and friends, even though their investment objectives may overlap with those of the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subject to applicable law, the Fund may periodically sell loans that it previously acquired after a short period of time to earn fees or other revenue, including from purchasers that do not participate in loan originations. The Advisor or its affiliates may receive asset-based fees from purchasers that are advisory clients, resulting in a conflict of interest for the Advisor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advisor and its affiliates may have existing business relationships or access to material non-public information that would prevent it from considering, approving or consummating an investment opportunity (including a disposition of an existing investment) that would otherwise fit within the Fund's investment objective and strategies. This could constrain the Fund's investment flexibility and result in the Fund being unable or restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities or liquidating or selling certain investments at a time when the Advisor would otherwise take such an action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and interpretations of the staff of the SEC, and subject to the allocation policies of the Advisor and any of its affiliates, as applicable, the Advisor, and any of its affiliates may deem it appropriate for the Fund and one or more other investment accounts managed by the Advisor or any of its affiliates to participate in an investment opportunity. In an order dated November 13, 2024, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Fund, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of the Advisor. Any of these co-investment opportunities may give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest among the Fund and the other participating accounts. To mitigate these conflicts, the Advisor and its affiliates managing other funds and accounts participating in transactions under the order will seek to execute such transactions for all of the participating investment accounts, including the Fund, on a fair and equitable basis and in accordance with their respective allocation policies, taking into account any number of factors which may include, but are not limited to, the relative amounts of capital available for new investments and the investment programs and portfolio positions of the Fund, the clients for which participation is appropriate and any other factors deemed appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The 1940 Act prohibits certain "joint" transactions with certain of the Fund's affiliates, which in certain circumstances could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without the prior approval of the SEC. If a person, directly or indirectly, acquires more than 5% of the voting securities of the Fund or the Advisor (or either of their respective controlling entities), the Fund will be prohibited from buying any securities or other property from or selling any securities or other property to such person or certain of that person's affiliates, or entering into joint transactions with such persons, absent the availability of an exemption or prior approval of the SEC. Similar restrictions limit the Fund's ability to transact business with its officers or directors or their affiliates. The SEC has interpreted the 1940 Act rules governing transactions with affiliates to prohibit certain "joint transactions" involving entities that share a common investment adviser. As a result of these restrictions, the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to the Fund may be limited.

(a)(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description regarding portfolio manager compensation is provided as of December 31, 2025. The Advisor's investment personnel are not employed by the Fund and receive no direct compensation from the Fund in connection with their investment management activities.

Consistent with Future Standard's integrated culture, Future Standard has one firm-wide compensation and incentive structure, which covers investment personnel who render services to the Fund on behalf of the Advisor. Future Standard's compensation structure is designed to align the interests of the investment personnel serving the Fund with those of stockholders and to give everyone a direct financial incentive to ensure that all of Future Standard's resources, knowledge and relationships are utilized to maximize risk-adjusted returns for each strategy.

Each of Future Standard's senior executives, including each of the investment personnel who render services to the Fund on behalf of the Advisor, receives a base salary and is eligible for a discretionary bonus. In addition to discretionary bonuses, investment professionals of Future Standard may be eligible to receive incentive compensation, including equity awards, from Future Standard based on the earnings or other performance metrics of the applicable investment advisor and/or fund.

All final compensation decisions are made by the management committee of Future Standard based on input from managers. Base compensation and discretionary bonuses are determined based on a combination of factors, which could include, among others, considerations such as overall firm performance, individual contribution and performance, and relevant market and competitive compensation practices for other businesses.

The compensation information disclosed within this subsection is as of December 31, 2025.

(a)(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table shows the dollar range of equity securities in the Fund beneficially owned by each member of the Advisor's investment committee as of December 31, 2025, based on the net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock as of December 31, 2025.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS (August 2025)

------

![](ex_a1002.jpg)

FS Credit Opportunities Corp. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics August 2025 INTRODUCTION Ethics are important to FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the "Company, collectively with the Company, "our," "us" or "we") and to its management. The Company is committed to the highest ethical standards and to conducting its business with the highest level of integrity. All Access Persons (as defined herein) of the Company and all Access Persons and associated persons of the Company's investment adviser, FS Global Advisor, LLC (the "Adviser"), are responsible for maintaining this level of integrity and for complying with the policies contained in this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this "Code"). If you have a question or concern about what is proper conduct for you or anyone else, please raise these concerns with the Company's Chief Compliance Officer or any member of the Company's management, or follow the procedures outlined in applicable sections of this Code. This Code has been adopted by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Company in accordance with Rule 17j-l(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the May 9, 1994 Report of the Advisory Group on Personal Investing by the Investment Company Institute. Rule 17j-l generally describes fraudulent or manipulative practices with respect to purchases or sales of securities held or to be acquired by an investment company registered under the 1940 Act if effected by access persons of such a company. PURPOSE OF THIS CODE This Code is intended to: • help you recognize ethical issues and take the appropriate steps to resolve these issues; • deter ethical violations to avoid any abuse of a position of trust and responsibility; • maintain the confidentiality of our business activities; • assist you in complying with applicable securities laws; • assist you in reporting any unethical or illegal conduct; and • reaffirm and promote our commitment to a corporate culture that values honesty, integrity and accountability. Further, it is the policy of the Company that no affiliated person of our organization shall, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of any security held or to be acquired by the Company:

------

![](ex_a1003.jpg)

• employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud us; • make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to us a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it is made, not misleading; • engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon us; or • engage in any manipulative practices with respect to our business activities. All Access Persons, as a condition of employment or service or continued employment or service to the Company and the Adviser, as applicable, will acknowledge annually, in writing, that they have received a copy of this Code, read it, and understand that this Code contains our expectations regarding their conduct. The Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, is responsible for obtaining three quarterly certifications, along with one annual certification, from each Access Person and each Supervised Person, acknowledging that he/she has acted in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in this Code during the time period and that each Access Person and Supervised Person has read and understands the Code. We are committed to fostering a culture of compliance. We, therefore, urge any Access Person or Supervised Person to contact the Chief Compliance Officer for any reason. No employee will be penalized, and their employment status will not be jeopardized by communicating with the Chief Compliance Officer. Reports of violations or suspected violations also may be submitted anonymously to the Chief Compliance Officer, by calling the employee hotline at 844-995-4986. Any retaliatory action taken against any person who reports a violation, or a suspected violation of this Code is itself a violation of this Code and cause for appropriate corrective action, including dismissal. Rule 21F-17(a) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 states that no person may take any action to impede an individual from communicating directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission staff ("SEC") about a possible securities law violation. Accordingly, if an employee of the Company or the Adviser prefers to do so, such employee may report suspected securities law violations directly to the SEC. PRINCIPLES OF BUSINESS CONDUCT All Access Persons of the Company and Access Persons and associated persons of the Adviser will be subject to the following guidelines covering business conduct, except as noted below: Conflicts of Interest You must avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between your personal interests and our interests. A conflict exists when your personal interests in any way interfere with our interests, or when

------

![](ex_a1004.jpg)

you take any action or have any interests that may make it difficult for you to perform your job objectively and effectively. Corporate Opportunities Each of us has a duty to advance the legitimate interests of the Company when the opportunity to do so presents itself. Therefore, you may not: • take for yourself personally opportunities, including investment opportunities, discovered through the use of your position with us or the Adviser, or through the use of either property or information; • use our or the Adviser's property, information, or position for your personal gain or the gain of a family member; or • compete, or prepare to compete, with us or the Adviser. Confidentiality You must not disclose confidential information regarding us, the Adviser, our affiliates, our lenders, our clients, or our other business partners, unless such disclosure is authorized or required by law. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be harmful to, or useful to the competitors of, the Company, our affiliates, our lenders, our clients, or our other business partners. This obligation will continue until the information becomes publicly available, even after you leave Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (doing business as Future Standard) ("Future Standard"), as defined below. Fair Dealing You must endeavor to deal fairly with our customers, suppliers and business partners, and any other companies or individuals with whom we do business or come into contact, including fellow employees and our competitors. You must not take unfair advantage of these or other parties by means of: • manipulation; • concealment; • abuse of privileged information; • misrepresentation of material facts; or • any other unfair-dealing practice. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets Our assets are to be used only for legitimate business purposes. You should protect our assets and ensure that they are used efficiently. Incidental personal use of telephones, cell phones, fax machines, copy machines, digital scanners, personal computers or tablets and similar equipment is generally allowed if there is no significant added cost to us, it does not interfere with your work duties, and is not related to an illegal activity or to any outside business. Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations

![](ex_a1005.jpg)

Each of us has a duty to comply with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to our business. The Company has an insider trading policy with which directors, managers, officers and Access Persons of the Company and the Adviser must comply. A copy of such Statement on the Prohibition of Insider Trading is included as Appendix I of the Company's Compliance Manual. Please talk to our Chief Compliance Officer if you have any questions about how to comply with the above regulations and other laws, rules and regulations. In addition, we expect you to comply with all of our policies and procedures that apply to you. We may modify or update our policies and procedures in the future and may adopt new Company policies and procedures from time-to-time. Access persons who are employees of Future Standard are also expected to observe the terms of the Future Standard Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Equal Opportunity; Harassment We are committed to providing equal opportunity in all of our employment practices including selection, hiring, promotion, transfer, and compensation of all qualified applicants and employees without regard to race, color, sex or gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, national origin, disability, citizenship status, marital status or any other status protected by law. With this in mind, there are certain behaviors that will not be tolerated. These include harassment, violence, intimidation, and discrimination of any kind involving race, color, sex or gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, national origin, disability, citizenship status, marital status, or any other status protected by law. Gifts and Entertainment Gifts can appear to compromise the integrity and honesty of our personnel. On the other hand, business colleagues often wish to provide small gifts to others as a way of demonstrating appreciation or interest. We have attempted to balance these considerations in the policy which follows. No Access Person employed by the Company or Access Person or associated person of the Adviser shall accept a gift that is over $200 in value or invitation that involves entertainment that is over $500 in value from any person or entity that does business with, is likely to do business with, or is soliciting business from, the Company or the Adviser excepts as follows: . (i) payment of out-of-town accommodation expenses by a sponsor of an industry, company or business conference held within the United States involving multiple attendees from outside the firm where your expenses are being paid by the sponsor on the same basis as those other attendees (Access Persons are required to obtain approval from the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, prior to accepting out-of-town accommodations or travel expenses); (ii) a business gift given to an Access Person from a business or corporate gift list on the same basis as other recipients of the sponsor and not personally selected for such Access Person (e.g., holiday gifts); and (iii) gifts from a sponsor to celebrate or acknowledge a transaction or event that are given to a wide group of recipients and not personally selected for the Access Person (e.g., closing dinner gifts, gifts given at an industry conference or seminar). As a general rule, Access Persons may not accept an invitation that is excessive (over $500 on a per person basis) or not usual and customary. If an Access Person believes the meal or entertainment might be excessive, he or she must obtain approval from the Chief Compliance Officer. Gifts to the Adviser as a whole or to an entire department (for example, accounting, analysts, etc.) may exceed the $200 limitation, but such gifts must be approved by the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee.

Persons who are employees of FS may also be subject to further restrictive limitations on gifts as outlined in the Future Standard Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.. Standards for giving gifts/entertainment are identical to those governing the acceptance of gifts/entertainment (that is, gifts given should be restricted to items worth $200 or less and entertainment provided should be restricted to amounts of $500 or less, subject to pre-approval from the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, as applicable). On the whole, good taste and judgment must be exercised in both the receipt and giving of gifts/entertainment. Every person subject to this Code must avoid gifts or entertainment that would compromise the Company's or Adviser's standing or reputation. If you are offered or receive any gift/entertainment which is either prohibited or questionable, you must inform the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee. Outside Trustees are not subject to these requirements. All gifts/entertainment, received or given over a de minimus amount of $25, shall be reflected in the gift log (for FS Employees) using ComplySci, the online compliance portal on FS Inside and must contain a basic description of the gift, a good faith estimate of the value of the gift, and the date the gift was received or entertainment attended. Solicitation of gifts is strictly prohibited. The direct or indirect giving of, offering to give or promising to give, money or anything of value to a foreign official, a foreign political party or party official, or any candidate for foreign political office in order to corruptly obtain or retain a business benefit, is generally prohibited and is subject to additional requirements and limitations. If you intend to give, offer or promise such a gift, you must inform the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, immediately. Accuracy of Company Records We require honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions. This requirement includes such data as quality, safety, and personnel records, as well as financial records. All financial books, records and accounts must accurately reflect transactions and events, and conform both to required accounting principles and to our system of internal controls. Retaining Business Communications The law requires us to maintain certain types of corporate records, usually for specified periods of time. Failure to retain those records for those minimum periods could subject us to penalties and fines, cause the loss of rights, obstruct justice, place us in contempt of court, or seriously disadvantage us in litigation. From time-to-time we establish retention or destruction policies in order to ensure legal compliance. We expect you to fully comply with any published records retention or destruction policies, provided that you should note the following exception: If you believe, or we inform you, that our records are relevant to any litigation or governmental action, or any potential litigation or action, then you must preserve those records until we determine the records are no longer needed. This exception supersedes any previously or subsequently established destruction policies for those records. If you believe that this

------

exception may apply or have any questions regarding the possible applicability of this exception, please contact our Chief Compliance Officer. The personal records of Outside Trustees are not subject to these requirements. Please note that Ring Central is the Company's only approved texting functionality. All business communications sent via text message must be sent through the Ring Central functionality. Compliance Training An integral part of the Firm's compliance program is the periodic compliance training that is provided to all employees. It is important that you complete all such compliance training in a timely and thorough manner. Outside Employment Without the written consent of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company, or his or her designee and your manager, no Access Person of the Company or Access Person or associated person of the Adviser is permitted to: • be engaged in any other financial services business for profit; • be employed or compensated by any other business for work performed; or • have a significant (more than 5% equity) interest in any other financial services business, including, but not limited to, banks, brokerages, investment advisers, insurance companies or any other similar business. Requests for outside employment waivers should be made in writing to the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, through the ComplySci compliance portal on FS Inside. Such requests should also include the written approval of your manager. Outside Trustees are not subject to these requirements but should give notice to the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee prior to entering into any such engagement or employment. Service as a Director/Trustee No Access Person of the Company or Access Person or associated person of the Adviser shall serve as a director/trustee (or member of a similar governing body) or officer of any organization without prior written authorization from the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee. Any request to serve on the board of such an organization must include the name of the entity and its business, the names of the other board members, and a general reason for the request. Such requests must be submitted through ComplySci, the online compliance portal on FS Inside.

You may use the e-mail system and the Internet only for legitimate business purposes in the course of your duties. Incidental and occasional personal use is permitted, but never for personal gain or any improper or illegal use. Further, you are permitted to post information on public forums, such as blogs or social networking sites (e.g., Facebook®, Twitter® or LinkedIn®) outside of work, but you should consider how the use of social media can reflect upon Future Standard. LinkedIn® postings should be limited to your title and general role within the Company. You may not, however, indicate that you work for us in a public forum if other information posted on that site could cause harm to our reputation. Moreover, information about us (or any interaction with another person) that is posted in a public forum might be construed by the SEC or its staff as an advertisement that is subject to strict regulations. Consequently, you are prohibited from posting information about us or your specific activities within the Company (other than your title and general role within the Company) in any public forum without the explicit pre-approval of the management team and the Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee.

In those instances, you are encouraged to contact our Chief Compliance Officer who will investigate and report the matter to our Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board, as the circumstance dictates. You will also be expected to cooperate in any investigation of a violation. Anyone who has a concern about our conduct, the conduct of an Access Person of the Company or an Access Person or associated Person of the Adviser or our accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, may communicate that concern to the Audit Committee of the Board by direct communication with our Chief Compliance Officer or by e-mail or in writing. All reported concerns shall be promptly forwarded to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and will be simultaneously addressed by our Chief Compliance Officer in the same way that other concerns are addressed by us. The status of all outstanding concerns forwarded to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee will be reported on a quarterly basis by our Chief Compliance Officer.

While anonymous reports will be accepted, please understand that anonymity may hinder or impede the investigation of a report. All cases of questionable activity or improper actions will be reviewed for appropriate action, discipline or corrective actions.

CODE OF ETHICS The persons specified in the following discussion will be subject to the provisions of this Code of Ethics (this "Code of Ethics"). Scope of this Code of Ethics In order to prevent the Company's Access Persons or Access Persons or associated persons of the Adviser, as defined below, from engaging in any of these prohibited acts, practices or courses of business, the Company has adopted this Code of Ethics which has been approved by the Board. Definitions Access Person. "Access Person" means: (i) any director, trustee, officer, partner, employee or Advisory Person (as defined below) of the Company or any associate persons, officers, principals and interested directors of the Adviser and (ii) any director, trustee, officer or general partner of a principal underwriter of the Company who, in the ordinary course of business, has access to non-public information regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities (as defined below), or non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of the Company or who is involved in making investment recommendations to the Company or who has access to such recommendations that are non-public. However, the term "Access Person" shall not include a Disinterested Trustee (as defined below). Access Persons will be classified under one of the following three categories: 1. A Tier 1 Access Person ("Tier 1 Access Person") is defined as an individual, including Supervised Persons, engaged in portfolio management, trading, investment management and/or investment decision-making, and has access to non-public information, as well as information regarding the pipeline(s), purchases or sales of securities of one or more Clients. These roles include, but are not limited to, portfolio analysts, portfolio managers, and traders. 2. A Tier 2 Access Person ("Tier 2 Access Person") is defined as an individual who has access to non-public information, but is not involved in portfolio management, trading, investment management and/or investment decision-making of the Adviser. 3. A Tier 3 Access Person ("Tier 3 Access Person") is defined as an individual who does not meet the criteria of a Tier 1 Access Person or a Tier 2 Access Person, defined above. Advisory Person. "Advisory Person" of the Company means: (i) any officer, principal or associated person of the Adviser (or any Sub-adviser of the Company, if applicable) or of any company in a control relationship to the Company or such investment adviser, who, in connection with his or her regular duties, makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of a Covered Security (as defined below) by the Company, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; and (ii) any natural person in a control relationship to the Company or adviser who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Company with regard to the purchase or sale of a Covered Security.

Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 Access Persons shall be subject to the Blackout Period and the corresponding Window Period (as defined below). Board. "Board" shall mean the Company's Board of Trustees.

Restricted List. The "Restricted List" identifies those securities which the Company or its Access Persons may not trade due to some restriction under the securities laws whereby the Company or its Access Persons may be deemed to possess material non-public information about the issuer of such securities.

Supervised Person. A "Supervised Person" means any partner, officer, director (or other person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employee of any entity that provides investment advice on behalf of the Company and is subject to the supervision and control of the Company; provided, however, that the term "Supervised Person" shall not include a Disinterested Trustee. Window Period. "Window Period" shall mean that timeframe in which an Access Person or a Disinterested Trustee is permitted to purchase or sell securities of the Company. Typically, the Window Period will remain open at all times unless it is temporarily closed upon the imposition of an event-specific Blackout Period. Standards of Conduct 1. No Access Person, Supervised Person or Disinterested Trustee shall engage, directly or indirectly, in any business transaction or arrangement for personal profit that is not in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders; nor shall he or she make use of any confidential information gained by reason of his or her employment by or affiliation with the Company, or any of its affiliates, in order to derive a personal profit for himself or herself or for any Beneficial Interest, in violation of the fiduciary duty owed to the Company and its shareholders. 2.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such Access Person may dispense such information without obtaining prior written approval: • when there is a public report containing the same information; • when such information is dispensed in accordance with compliance procedures established to prevent conflicts of interest between the Company and its affiliates; • when such information is reported to the Board; or • in the ordinary course of his or her duties on behalf of the Company. 4. All personal securities transactions should be conducted consistent with this Code of Ethics and in such manner as to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest, the appearance of a conflict of interest, or any abuse of an individual's position of trust and responsibility within the Company. 5. A pre-clearance of an Access Person's personal security transaction shall be effective for two (2) business days following the receipt of the pre-clearance request. After such timeframe if the transaction is not completed, an Access Person shall be required to submit a new pre-clearance request through the ComplySci portal on FS Inside. 6. All Access Persons are required to comply with all of the provisions of the Code, as applicable. Only violations involving Tier 1 Access Persons and Tier 2 Access Persons shall be subject to the requirement that the Company's Chief Compliance Officer report such violations to the Board. Restricted Transactions General Prohibition. No Access Person shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any Covered Security (including any security issued by the issuer of such Covered Security) unless such Access Person shall have obtained prior written approval for such purpose from our Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee. 1. An Access Person who becomes aware that the Company is considering the purchase or sale of any Covered Security must immediately notify our Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, of any interest that such Access Person may have in any outstanding Covered Security (including any security issued by the issuer of such Covered Security). • An Access Person shall similarly notify our Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, of any other interest or connection that such Access Person might have in or with such issuer. • Once an Access Person becomes aware that the Company is considering the purchase or sale of a Covered Security in its portfolio, such Access Person may not engage in any transaction in such Covered Security (including any security issued by the issuer of such Covered Security). Accordingly, any pre-clearance request by such Access Person with respect to such Covered Security will be denied.

Management of the Restricted List Our Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, will manage placing and removing names from the Company's Restricted List. Should an Access Person learn of material non-public information concerning the issuer of any security, that information must be provided to our Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her designee, so that the issuer can be included on the Restricted List.

Disinterested Trustees must provide such confirmation or file such a report if such trustee knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a trustee of the Company, should have known that during the 15-day period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction in a Covered Security by the trustee such Covered Security is or was purchased or sold by the Company or the Adviser or the Company or the Adviser considered purchasing or selling such Covered Security. The Access Person must confirm the following information: • the date of the transaction; • the title and, as applicable, the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, of each reportable security involved, the interest rate and maturity date of each reportable security involved, the number of shares of each reportable security involved, and the principal amount of each reportable security involved; • the nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or other type of acquisition or disposition); • the price of the security at which the transaction was effected; • the name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through which the transaction was effected, and the date the account(s) were established; and • the date the Access Person confirms such transactions or submits a report.

Appendix A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Sanctions Upon discovering a violation of the Code of Ethics ("Code"), Future Standard ("FS") may impose sanctions as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, a letter warning, disgorgement of profits, termination of trading privileges or suspension or termination of the Access Person, dependent, in part, on the materiality of the violation. A Material Violation includes any active trading violations (i.e., failure to pre-clear a trade, short-term trading, etc.). A Non-Material violation includes any reporting violations (e.g., not completing Compliance assignments on a timely basis, not certifying to transactions by the deadline, etc.). The schedule below is not all inclusive and is intended to serve as a guideline for the imposition of a sanction. Violations will be aggregated during a 12-month time period: Non-Material Violations: 1st Violation: Recorded warning to the Access Person that the Code has been violated and a review of the requirements of the Code. 2nd Violation: Written notification to the Access Person, with a copy to the Access Person's supervisor and a review of the requirements of the Code. 3rd Violation: Written notification to the Access Person, Access Person's Supervisor and to the applicable Executive Committee member of FS, as well as another review of the requirements of the Code. Material Violations: 1st Violation: Written notification to the Access Person that the Code has been violated, with a copy to the Access Person's supervisor and a review of the requirements of the Code. 2nd Violation: Written notification to the Access Person, Access Person's Supervisor, CEO and CIO, as well as a 5-business day suspension of trading privileges. Compliance will review, with the Access Person, the requirements of the Code. 3rd Violation: Written notification to the Access Person, Access Person's Supervisor, CEO and CIO, as well as a 10-business day suspension of trading privileges. At this point, it will be up to the CCO, CIO, and CEO to determine whether one or more of the following are appropriate: a disgorgement of profits (such disgorgement to be donated to a mutually agreed-upon charity), termination of trading privileges, termination of the Access Person, and/or any other additional sanctions deemed appropriate.

## Ex-99.(A)6

![](ex_a6001.jpg)

FS CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES CORP. PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FS Credit Opportunities Corp., a Delaware statutory trust (the "Company"), has delegated its proxy voting responsibility to its investment adviser, FS Global Advisor, LLC (the "Adviser"). The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Adviser are set forth below. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by the Adviser and the Company's non-interested trustees, and, accordingly, are subject to change. Introduction As an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), the Adviser has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, the Adviser 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 the Adviser are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers Act. Proxy Policies The Adviser has retained ISS Governance Services ("ISS") to assist in the proxy voting process. The Investment Management Team manages the Adviser's relationship with ISS, and ensures that ISS votes all proxies according to the Company's specific instructions and Adviser's general guidance, and retains all required documentation associated with proxy voting. The Adviser requires ISS to notify the Adviser if ISS experiences a material conflict of interest in the voting of the Company's proxies. The Adviser has adopted the following proxy voting procedures designed to ensure that proxies are properly identified and voted, and that any conflicts of interest are addressed appropriately: • The Adviser is made aware of specific opportunities to vote proxies by ISS • The authority to make proxy voting decisions of the Adviser is held by the Investment Committee, who is responsible for monitoring each of the Company's investments. The Investment Committee may delegate its authority to vote proxies to one or more members of the Investment Management Team, including the Lead Portfolio Manager. • Absent specific instructions to the contrary, the Investment Committee votes the Company's proxies according to recommendations made by ISS. Any investment professional who suggests deviating from these recommendations must provide the Adviser CCO with a written explanation of the reason for the deviation, as well as a representation that the employee and Adviser are not conflicted in making the chosen voting decision. • The Adviser's Investment Committee has the ability to override any determinations made by the Investment Team or Lead Portfolio Manager with respect to voting the Company's proxies, to the extent such authority has been delegated to such parties. The Adviser Chief Compliance Officer will maintain a memorandum detailing the rationale for any instance in which a decision

------

![](ex_a6002.jpg)

on how to vote a proxy was overridden. • The Adviser will not neglect its proxy voting responsibilities, but the Adviser may abstain from voting if it deems that abstaining is in the Company's best interest. For example, the Adviser may be unable to vote securities that have been lent by the custodian. Also, proxy voting in certain countries involves "share blocking," which limits the Adviser's ability to sell the affected security during a blocking period that can last for several weeks. The potential consequences of being unable to sell a security may outweigh the benefits of participating in a proxy vote so the Adviser generally abstains from voting when share blocking is required. The Adviser Chief Compliance Officer will prepare and maintain memoranda describing the rationale for any instance in which the Adviser does not vote the Company's proxy. • ISS will retain the following information in connection with each proxy vote: o The Issuer's name; o The security's ticker symbol or CUSIP, as applicable; o The shareholder meeting date; o The number of shares that Adviser voted; o A brief identification of the matter voted on; o Whether the matter was proposed by the Issuer or a security-holder; o Whether Adviser cast a vote; o How Adviser cast its vote (for the proposal, against the proposal, or abstain); and o Whether Adviser cast its vote with or against management. • While not currently applicable, if the Adviser votes the same proxy in two directions, the Adviser Chief Compliance Officer will maintain documentation describing the reasons for each vote (e.g., the Adviser believes that voting with management is in one Company's best interests, but another Company gave specific instructions to vote against management). • Any attempt to influence the proxy voting process by issuers or others not identified in these policies and procedures should be promptly reported to the Adviser Chief Compliance Officer. • The Investment Committee reviews the Company's proxy votes to ensure all votes cast by the Company are in compliance with the best interest of the Company's shareholders. Fixed Income Securities In addition to covering the voting of equity securities, this policy also applies generally to voting and/or consent rights of fixed income securities, including but not limited to, plans of reorganization, waivers and consents under applicable indentures. However, the policy does not apply to consent rights that primarily entail decisions to buy or sell investments, such as tender or exchange offers, conversions, put options, redemption and Dutch auctions. This proxy policy is designed and implemented in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting and consent rights are exercised in the best interests of the Company's shareholders.

------

![](ex_a6003.jpg)

For the voting of fixed income securities, the Adviser believes the potential for material conflicts of interest to arise between the interests of the Company and the interests of the Adviser is limited. However, there may be a potential for a conflict of interest which the Adviser or its related persons or entities may be a named party to, or participating in a bankruptcy work-out or other similar committee with respect to the issuer. In such instances, the Investment Management Team must notify the Adviser CCO or Deputy Adviser CCO prior to casting any decision on behalf of clients. In addition, neither the Adviser nor ISS will be able to vote for any securities on loan by an account. In the event that the Adviser is aware of a material vote on behalf of the Company and the Adviser has the ability to call back loans and is aware of the securities on loan by the custodian, the Adviser may call back the loan and vote the proxy if time permits. Proxy Voting Records Information regarding how the Adviser voted proxies with respect to the Company's portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ending June 30 will be available without charge by making a written request to the Adviser's Chief Compliance Officer, FS Credit Opportunities Corp., 3025 JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 or by calling the Adviser collect at (215) 495-1150, or on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
