Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 1, 2018, FS Investment Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) providing an overview of its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 1, 2018, in the Press Release, the Company announced a regular cash distribution of $0.19 per share, which will be paid on or about April 3, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 21, 2018.

Additionally, in February 2018, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to $50 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the current net asset value per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program will be in effect through February 21, 2019, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Company’s board of directors has been expended. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

The Press Release is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company will make available under the “Presentations and Reports” page within the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website ( www.fsinvestmentcorp.com ) a presentation providing an overview of the Company’s operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 in advance of its previously announced March 2, 2018 conference call.
