CHANGE TO PROXY STATEMENT
The section of the Proxy Statement titled Submission of Stockholder Proposals is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Company expects that the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders will be held in June 2015, but the exact date, time, and location of such meeting have yet to be determined. A stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the Companys 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, including nomination of a director, must submit the proposal in writing to the Secretary of the Company at FS Investment Corporation, Cira Centre, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 675, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, and the Company must receive the proposal no later than January 9, 2015, in order for the proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Companys proxy statement for that meeting.
Notices of intention to present proposals, including nomination of a director, at the Companys 2015 annual meeting of stockholders should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and should be received by the Company between December 10, 2014 and 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 9, 2015. In the event that the date of the Companys 2015 annual meeting of stockholders is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting, a notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. The submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the Companys proxy statement or presentation at a meeting unless certain securities law requirements are met. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with the foregoing or other applicable requirements.
