Other Events.

Effective November 29, 2019, FS Investment Corporation III (the “Company”) decreased the price at which it issues shares under its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) from $7.55 per share to $7.50 per share. As previously disclosed by the Company, the price at which shares are issued under the DRP is determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and is (i) not less than the net asset value per share determined in good faith by the Board or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution (the “NAV Per Share”) and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share as of such date. The purpose of this decrease was to ensure that the Company did not issue shares under the DRP at a price per share that was more than 2.5% greater than the NAV Per Share.
