FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FS Investment Corporation Declares Two Cash Distributions of $0.0625 Per Share

PHILADELPHIA, August 12, 2009 – On August 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC”) declared two monthly cash distributions of $0.0625 per share. The first distribution is payable on September 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2009. The second distribution is payable on September 30, 2009, to shareholders of record as of September 23, 2009.

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 FSIC for expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that FSIC’s net investment income and net short-term capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative 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 has no obligation to reimburse any portion of FSIC’s expenses but has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that FSIC has achieved economies of scale 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. There can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings will continue reimbursing any portion of FSIC’s expenses in future quarters.
