Re:	FS Investment Corporation

File No. 814-00757

On behalf of FS Investment Corporation (the “Company”), enclosed herewith for filing, pursuant to Rule 17g-1(g) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), are the following:

A copy of the Company’s Fidelity Bond in the amount of $2,500,000 (the “Bond”);

A copy of the resolutions approved at the October 29, 2015 meeting of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company at which a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act approved the amount, type, form and coverage of the Bond and the portion of the premium to be paid by the Company; and

APPROVAL OF FIDELITY BOND INSURANCE COVERAGE

WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder require a business development company such as the Company, to provide and maintain a bond which has been issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company authorized to do business in the place where the bond is issued to protect the Company against larceny and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the Company who may singly, or jointly with others, have access to the securities or funds of the Company, either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds of, or to direct generally, the disposition of such securities, unless the officer or employee has such access solely through his or her position as an officer or employee of a bank (each, a “Covered Person”);

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act requires that a majority of the directors who are Non-Interested Directors approve periodically (but not less than once every 12 months), in accordance with the provisions of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act, the reasonableness of the form and amount of the bond, with due consideration to, among other things, the value of the aggregate assets of the Company to which any Covered Person may have access, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of such assets, and the nature of securities and other investments to be held by the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to authorize the Authorized Officers to make the filing and give the notices required by Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act and negotiate, execute and deliver such documents or agreements as may be necessary to cause the renewal of the Company’s joint fidelity bond (the “Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond”), provided, that: (i) the amount of coverage of the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond shall be computed in accordance with the schedule set out in Rule 17g-1(d)(l) under the 1940 Act; (ii) the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond provides at least as much coverage as the Company’s current fidelity bond, with any increase to the current coverage amount as the Authorized Officers deem necessary or appropriate; and (iii) the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond is otherwise issued on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Company’s current fidelity bond.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, having considered all factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, but not limited to: (i) the expected aggregate value of the securities and other assets of the Company to which officers or employees of the Company may have access (either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such securities); (ii) the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody of such securities and funds; (iii) the nature of securities and other investments to be held by the Company; (iv) the accounting procedures and controls of the Company; (v) the nature and method of conducting the operations of the Company; and (vi) the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, the Board, including a majority of the Non-Interested Directors, hereby determines that the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond, in the form as discussed at the meeting, covering, among others, the

officers and employees of the Company, and insuring the Company against loss from fraudulent or dishonest acts, including larceny and embezzlement, having an aggregate coverage amount of at least the amount required under the 1940 Act, with any increase to such aggregate coverage amount as the Authorized Officers deem necessary or appropriate, be, and it hereby is, approved; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Board, including a majority of the Non-Interested Directors, have determined the portion of the premium to be paid by the Company be, and it hereby is, approved taking all relevant factors into consideration including, but not limited to, the number of the other insured parties named as insureds, the nature of business activities of the other insured parties, the amount of the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond and the amount of the premium for such Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among the insureds, and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to the Company is less than the premium the Company would have had to pay had such joint insured bond not been obtained; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to cause the Company to pay its ratable allocation of the annual premium payable with respect to the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond and to enter into and execute, on behalf of the Company, an agreement reflecting the provisions of the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond and relating to the sharing of premiums and division of proceeds in the event of a joint fidelity loss, as required by Rule 17g-l(f) under the 1940 Act (the “Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement”); and it is further

RESOLVED, that the terms and conditions of the Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in all respects, with such amendments thereto as an Authorized Officer may approve, and with approval of such further amendments evidenced by their inclusion in the Joint Insured Bond Allocation; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute the Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement on behalf of the Company; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in consultation with counsel to the Company, and to give notices as may be required, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 17g-l(g) and Rule 17g-l(h) under the 1940 Act; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to amend the Renewed Joint Fidelity Bond, in consultation with counsel to the Company; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each individually hereby is authorized and directed to enter into, execute and deliver any agreement or other instrument, and to take all such steps, and to make all such payments, fees and remittances, as such officer, with the

RESOLVED, that any and all actions previously taken by the Company or any of its directors or officers or others acting on behalf of the Company in connection with the actions contemplated by the foregoing resolutions be, and each of them hereby is, ratified, confirmed, approved and adopted in all respects as and for the acts and deeds of the Company.

TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE

(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit)

Insuring Company:

You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of certain acts of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.

You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. Beginning in 2016, the Federal share will be reduced by 1% per year until it reaches 80%, where it will remain.

However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed $100 billion in a calendar year, the Treasury shall not make any payment for any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion.


10-02-1281 (Ed. 03/2015)

The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts of terrorism is: $ -0-.

JOINT INSURED BOND ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

THIS JOINT INSURED BOND ALLOCATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of the 5^th day of January, 2016, by and among FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC”), a business development company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), FB Income Advisor, LLC, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which provides investment management services to FSIC, Broad Street Funding LLC, Locust Street Funding LLC, Race Street Funding LLC, IC Altus Investments, LLC, IC American Energy Investments, Inc., FSIC Investments, Inc., IC Arches Investments, LLC, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., Franklin Square Holdings, G.P., LLC; and FS² Capital Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Insureds”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 promulgated thereunder (“Rule 17g-1”), FSIC is required to maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company, authorized to do business in the place where the bond is issued, against larceny and embezzlement, covering certain officers and employees of FSIC; and

WHEREAS, the Insureds have entered into a joint insured bond with Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, in accordance with Rule 17g-1 (such joint insured bond as it is currently executed and as it may be amended from time to time, hereinafter, the “Bond”); and

WHEREAS, the Insureds, in order to be covered jointly under the Bond, are required by Rule 17g-1 to be parties to an agreement that establishes the criteria by which the premiums and any recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated among them.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

Amount of Coverage Maintained. The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall at all times be at least equal to the sum of: (a) the total amount of coverage that FSIC would have been required to provide and maintain individually pursuant to the schedule set forth in paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 had FSIC not been a named insured under the Bond, plus (b) the amount of each bond which each other named insured would have been required to provide and maintain pursuant to federal statutes or regulations had it not been named as an insured under the Bond (such amounts, respectively, the “minimum coverage requirement” for each Insured). The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall be approved not less than once every twelve months by the Board of Directors of FSIC, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of FSIC, as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”).

Allocation of Recovery. In the event an actual pecuniary loss is suffered by any two or more of the Insureds under circumstances covered by the Bond, any recovery under the Bond shall be allocated among such Insureds as follows:

If the total amount of coverage provided under the Bond exceeds or is equal to the amount of the combined total loss suffered by the Insureds suffering the loss, then each such Insured shall be entitled to recover the amount of its actual loss.

If the amount of loss suffered by each Insured suffering loss exceeds its minimum coverage requirement as set forth in Section 1 hereof and the amount of such Insureds’ combined actual losses exceeds the total amount of coverage under the Bond, then each such Insured shall be entitled to recover (i) its minimum coverage requirement, and (ii) to the extent there exists any excess coverage, the proportion of such excess coverage that its minimum coverage requirement bears to the amount of the combined minimum coverage requirements of the Insureds suffering actual loss; provided, however, that if the actual loss of any such Insureds is less than the sum of (i) and (ii) above, then such difference shall be recoverable by the other Insured or Insureds in proportion to their minimum coverage requirements.

If (i) the amount of actual loss suffered by any Insured is less than or equal to its minimum coverage requirement, (ii) the amount of actual loss of another Insured or other Insureds exceeds its or their minimum coverage requirements and (iii) the amount of the combined actual losses of the Insureds exceeds the total amount of coverage provided under the Bond, then any Insured that has suffered an amount of actual loss less than or equal to its minimum coverage requirement shall be entitled to recover its actual loss. If only one other Insured has suffered actual loss, it shall be entitled to recover the remainder of the coverage under the Bond. If more than one Insured has suffered actual loss in excess of the remaining coverage, then they shall allocate such remaining amount of coverage in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section 2.

Allocation of Premiums. No premium shall be paid under the Bond unless the Board of Directors of FSIC, including a majority of the Independent Directors, shall approve the portion of the premium to be paid by FSIC on behalf of each Insured. The premium payable on the Bond shall be allocated between the Insureds as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of FSIC.

Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any manner except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

Filing with the Commission. A copy of this Agreement, and any amendment thereto, shall be filed with the SEC within 10 days after receipt by FSIC of an executed copy of the Bond.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
