Annual Meeting A Day Away – Vote by Phone and Internet Immediately – Every Vote Counts

Immediate Action Necessary To Send Message To FSFR Board To Sell The Company Given Prolonged Underperformance

Ironsides Partners LLC and its affiliates, one of the largest stockholders of Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (NASDAQ:FSFR), today reminded FSFR stockholders that every vote counts and urged them to vote by phone or internet immediately to support Ironsides’ nominees and the termination of FSFR’s external manager, FSM, at FSFR’s upcoming Annual Meeting to be held this Thursday, April 7, 2016.

Ironsides’ main goal is to create stockholder value through a sale of the Company or a business combination that it believes will materially eliminate the discount to Net Asset Value (NAV) at which the shares trade. Even if FSFR were acquired at a 10% discount to NAV, Ironsides believes that the result would be an immediate 35% gain to stockholders.

Independent expert and leading proxy advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., issued a report recommending that FSFR stockholders vote “FOR” all of Ironsides’ proposals. ISS criticized FSFR’s “prolonged underperformance, pervasive discount to NAV, and excessive management fees” and concluded that a vote for “nominees Robert Knapp and Richard Cohen is warranted” and a “vote FOR the binding shareholder proposal to terminate the investment manager is warranted.” ISS reaffirmed its recommendations over the weekend.

Ironsides urges all stockholders to follow the ISS recommendation by voting GREEN today “FOR” the election of Ironsides’ nominees and “FOR” the termination of the agreement with FSM, which Ironsides believes will move the Company one step closer to being sold – the best way to deliver value to all FSFR stockholders.

Note: Permission neither sought nor obtained from ISS.
