FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FS Investment Corporation Declares Special 3.5% Stock Distribution

PHILADELPHIA, July 7, 2009 — On June 25, 2009, the Board of Directors of FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC”) declared a special stock distribution to existing investors of 3.5 shares per 100 shares outstanding. The purpose of this special stock distribution is to maintain a net asset value (“NAV”) per share that is below the current net offering price, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 subject to certain limited exceptions. The Board of Directors determined that FSIC’s portfolio performance sufficiently warranted taking this action. The distribution was payable on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2009.

The stock distribution increased the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2009, thereby reducing NAV per share. However, because the stock distribution was issued to all existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings, the reduction in NAV per share as a result of the stock distribution is offset exactly by the increase in the number of shares owned by each investor in terms of total value. As the overall value of an investor’s position is not reduced as a result of the special stock distribution, the Board of Directors determined that its payment was not dilutive to existing shareholders.

As the stock distribution did not change any shareholder’s proportionate interest in FSIC, it is not expected to represent a taxable distribution. The determination of the tax attributes of FSIC’s distributions is made annually as of the end of FSIC’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of its distributions for a full year. FSIC intends to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV.

FSIC’s affiliate, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., has agreed to reimburse it for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that its net investment income and net short-term capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative cash distributions paid to its stockholders in each quarter. Under this arrangement, no portion of FSIC’s cash distributions is expected to represent a return of capital for its stockholders. Franklin Square Holdings expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that FSIC has achieved scale that is sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. Subject to changes in prevailing interest rates, it is expected that this expense reimbursement will be no longer required once $50 million in capital is raised. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by FSIC’s sponsor will be calculated at the end of each quarter. Franklin Square Holdings is controlled by FSIC’s president and chief executive officer, Michael Forman, and its director, David Adelman.
