PRICING TERM SHEET
December 1, 2016
The following sets forth the final terms of the 4.250% Notes due 2020 and should only be read together with the preliminary prospectus supplement dated December 1, 2016, together with the accompanying prospectus dated June 3, 2016, relating to these securities (the “Preliminary Prospectus”), and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Prospectus to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Prospectus. In all other respects, this pricing term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Prospectus. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus. All references to dollar amounts are references to U.S. dollars.
On December 3, 2014, the Issuer issued $325,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Notes due 2020 (the “Existing Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated July 14, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated December 3, 2014 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between FS Investment Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The securities hereby offered (the “New Notes”) are being issued as “Additional Notes” under the Indenture. The Existing Notes and the New Notes are collectively referred to in this Pricing Term Sheet as the “Notes.”

The Issuer expects that delivery of the New Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about December 8, 2016, which will be the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the New Notes (such settlement being herein referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the New Notes prior to the date of delivery hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the New Notes initially will settle in T+5 business days, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. | |
