Item 8.01 Other Events.
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
relating to stockholder proposals provides that stockholders who wish to make a proposal under the Rule must submit such proposal
no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the prior year’s proxy statement release to stockholders. The 2016 proxy
statement of Fifth Street Finance Corp. (the “Company”) was released to stockholders on March 11, 2016, but the date
that it specified for the submission of stockholder proposals for possible inclusion in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement
was inadvertently noted as November 2, 2016. That date should have read November 11, 2016. Accordingly, the Company will not assert
untimeliness in respect of any Rule 14a-8 stockholder proposal received by the Company on or before November 11, 2016.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
