FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FS Investment Corporation Announces Two Cash Distributions for the Month of July

PHILADELPHIA, July 28, 2010 – On July 22, 2010, the Board of Directors of FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC”) declared two semi-monthly cash distributions of $0.03125 per share each. Both distributions will be paid on September 30, 2010, the first to shareholders of record on July 13, 2010 and the second to shareholders of record on July 29, 2010.

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.
