Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On September 10, 2013, the board of directors (the “Board”) of FS Investment Corporation (the “Company”) declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.06975 per share.  The monthly distribution will be paid on September 30, 2013 to stockholders of record on September 27, 2013.

Certain Information about Distributions
 
The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. The Company intends to update stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.
 
The payment of future distributions on shares of the Company’s common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.
 
Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On September 10, 2013, the Board increased the size of the Board and appointed Pedro A. Ramos as a new member of the Board, effective as of such date. Mr. Ramos was appointed to serve for a term expiring at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders.  Mr. Ramos was also appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Board may modify the number of members of the Board. However, the number of directors may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or greater than twelve. With the appointment of Mr. Ramos, the size of the Board was increased to eleven directors, seven of whom are independent directors. The Company’s directors are elected annually for a term of one year, and serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Ramos has not been elected to serve as a member of the Board pursuant to any agreement or understanding with the Company or any other person.

Mr. Ramos will receive director fees consistent with the Company’s director compensation arrangement.
