Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On April 12, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of FS Investment Corporation (the “Company”), as a result of new industry guidelines set forth by Standard & Poor’s on April 3, 2018, determined to no longer modify, beginning March 29, 2019 (one year from prior Board determination), the asset coverage requirement for senior securities applicable to the Company under Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, the Company’s asset coverage requirement for senior securities remains and is expected to remain at 200% instead of 150%.
