On January 25, 2013, the board of directors (the “Board”) of FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC” or the “Company”) declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.0675 per share. The monthly distribution will be paid on January 31, 2013 to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013.
Certain Information About Distributions
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 and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. FSIC intends to update stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.
The payment of future distributions on shares of FSIC’s common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.
