WHITE PLAINS, NY, June 26, 2014 -- Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (NASDAQ:FSFR) (“FSFR” or the “Company”) would like to remind stockholders to vote their shares for the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders being held on July 10, 2014. The Board of Directors has recommended that stockholders vote FOR the proposal included in the proxy statement for the Special Meeting. In addition, the two leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”), whose vote recommendations are relied upon by major institutional investment funds, mutual funds and fiduciaries throughout the world, have each recommended that FSFR stockholders vote FOR the proposal. The proposal would allow the Company, with approval of its Board, to sell shares of its common stock below its then current net asset value (“NAV”) per share, subject to certain limitations outlined in the proxy statement.

 

The authority granted under this proposal would expire on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of the stockholder approval or the date of the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Your vote is important no matter how many or how few shares you own. Please vote each and every voting form you receive since you may hold shares in multiple accounts.
