Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Energy and Power Fund, or the Company, was formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced investment operations on July 18, 2011. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The Company has various wholly-owned financing subsidiaries, including special-purpose financing subsidiaries and subsidiaries through which it holds or expects to hold interests in certain portfolio companies. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in privately-held U.S. companies in the energy and power industry. The Company’s investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in securities of energy and power related, or Energy, companies. The Company considers Energy companies to be those companies that engage in the exploration, development, production, gathering, transportation, processing, storage, refining, distribution, mining, generation or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products, coal or power, including those companies that provide equipment or services to companies engaged in any of the foregoing. The Company’s board of trustees has approved changing the Company’s name to FS Specialty Lending Fund and changing its non-fundamental investment policy to be to invest primarily in a portfolio of secured and unsecured floating and fixed rate loans, bonds and other types of credit instruments, which, under normal circumstances, will represent at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets, rather than to invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of Energy companies.

The Company is managed by FS/EIG Advisor, LLC, or FS/EIG Advisor, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9, 2018, or the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement. FS/EIG Advisor oversees the management of the Company’s operations and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Company’s portfolio. FS/EIG Advisor is jointly operated by an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (which does business as FS Investments) and EIG Asset Management, LLC, or EIG.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated schedule of investments are derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Many of the amounts have been rounded, and all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of such agreement). Such fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s “incentive fee capital gains,” which are the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. The Company will accrue for the incentive fee on capital gains, which, if earned, will be paid annually. The Company will accrue the incentive fee on capital gains based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, the fee payable to FS/EIG Advisor will be based on realized

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

gains and no such fee will be payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not accrue any amount of capital gains incentive fee.

Subordinated Income Incentive Fee: Pursuant to the terms of the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, FS/EIG Advisor may also be entitled to receive a subordinated incentive fee on income. The subordinated incentive fee on income under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS/EIG Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.625%. For purposes of this fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative gross proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common shares (including proceeds from its distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions from non-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments paid to shareholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, FS/EIG Advisor will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.031%, or 8.125% annually, of adjusted capital. This “catch-up” feature will allow FS/EIG Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, FS/EIG Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not accrue any amount of subordinated incentive fee on income.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 may have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that it expects to collect such amounts. The Company records dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from limited liability company, or LLC, and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if it has reason to doubt its ability to collect such income. The Company’s policy is to place investments on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that interest income will be collected. The Company considers many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it from non-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. If there is reasonable doubt that the Company will receive any previously accrued interest, then the accrued interest will be written-off. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. Non-accrual investments may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are likely to remain current based on the Company’s judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and the Company amortizes such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. Structuring and other non-recurring upfront fees are recorded as fee income when earned. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it earns such amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any structuring or other upfront fee revenue.

Net Realized Gains or Realized Losses on Extinguishment of Debt: Upon the repayment of debt obligations which are deemed to be extinguishments, the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the amount repaid on the extinguishment of debt is recognized as a gain or loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), or ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), or ASU 2021-01, which expanded the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging transactions as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, or ASU 2022-06, which deferred the sunset date of this guidance to December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Share Transactions

Below is a summary of transactions with respect to the Company’s common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
	Shares	Amount		Shares	Amount
Reinvestment of Distributions	1,321,335	$	5,218	1,434,432	$	5,235

Proceeds from Share Transactions	1,321,335	$	5,218	1,434,432	$	5,235

During the period from April 1, 2023 to May 1, 2023, the Company issued 1,342,539 common shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan for gross proceeds of $5,170 at an average price per share of $3.85.

On February 25, 2020, the Company received exemptive relief from the SEC permitting it to offer multiple classes of common shares. While the Company has no present intention to recommence a public offering of its common shares, the Company could do so in the future.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2020, in light of difficult market conditions and in an effort to preserve liquidity in the Company, the Company’s board of trustees determined to suspend for an indefinite period of time the Company’s share repurchase program and will reassess the Company’s ability to recommence such program in future periods.

Prior to its suspension, the Company intended to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company's board of trustees will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase common shares and under what terms:

• the effect of such repurchases on the Company’s qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);

• the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);

• the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;

• the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size;

• the Company’s history in repurchasing common shares or portions thereof; and

• the condition of the securities markets.

Historically, the Company limited the number of common shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the lesser of (i) the number of common shares the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of common shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. On May 5, 2017, the board of trustees of the Company further amended the share repurchase program. As amended, the Company will limit the maximum number of common shares to be repurchased for any repurchase offer to the greater of (A) the number of common shares that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds it has received from the sale of common shares under its distribution reinvestment plan during the twelve-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (less the amount of proceeds used to repurchase common shares on each previous repurchase date for repurchase offers conducted during such twelve-month period) (this limitation is referred to as the twelve-month repurchase limitation) and (B) the number of common shares that the Company can repurchase with the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of common shares under its distribution reinvestment plan during the three-month period ending on the date the applicable repurchase offer expires (this limitation is referred to as the three-month repurchase limitation). In addition to this limitation, the maximum number of common shares to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will also be limited to 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter. As a result, the maximum number of common shares to be repurchased for any repurchase offer will not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 2.5% in each calendar quarter, and (ii) whichever is greater of the twelve-month repurchase limitation described in clause (A) above and the three-month repurchase limitation described in clause (B) above.

If the Company recommences its share repurchase program, the Company intends to offer to repurchase common shares at a price equal to the price at which common shares are issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan on the distribution date coinciding with the applicable share repurchase date. The price at which common shares are issued under the

Note 3. Share Transactions (continued)

Company’s distribution reinvestment plan is determined by the Company’s board of trustees or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, and will be (i) not less than the net asset value per common share as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of trustees or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment date of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per common share as of such date. The Company’s board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, upon 30 days’ notice. The Company did not repurchase any shares pursuant to its share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

In order to minimize the expense of supporting small accounts and provide additional liquidity to shareholders of the Company holding small accounts after completion of a regular quarterly share repurchase offer, the Company reserves the right to repurchase the shares of and liquidate any investor’s account if the balance of such account is less than the Company’s $5 minimum initial investment, unless the account balance has fallen below the minimum solely as a result of a decline in the Company’s net asset value per share. The Company will provide or will cause to be provided 30 days’ prior written notice to potentially affected investors, which notice may be included in regular quarterly repurchase offer materials, of any such repurchase. Any such repurchases will be made at the Company’s most recent price at which the Company’s shares were issued pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. There were no de minimis account liquidations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Compensation of the Investment Adviser

Pursuant to the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, FS/EIG Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets (gross assets equals total assets as set forth on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) during the most recently completed calendar quarter and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the average weekly value of the Company’s gross assets. See Note 2 for a discussion of the capital gains and subordinated income incentive fees that FS/EIG Advisor may be entitled to under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement.

FS/EIG Advisor may receive structuring or other upfront fees from portfolio companies in which FS/EIG Advisor has caused the Company to invest. FS/EIG Advisor has agreed to offset the amount of any structuring, upfront or certain other fees received by FS/EIG Advisor or its members against the management fees payable by the Company under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $255 and $698, respectively, of structuring, upfront or certain other fees received by FS/EIG Advisor or its members were offset against management fees.

Pursuant to the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, FS/EIG Advisor oversees the Company’s day-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities and other administrative services. FS/EIG Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports for the Company’s shareholders and reports filed with the SEC.

The Company reimburses FS/EIG Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations, including FS/EIG Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and/or related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and EIG providing administrative services to the Company on behalf of FS/EIG Advisor, and for transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as “broken deal” costs. The Company reimburses FS/EIG Advisor no less than quarterly for expenses necessary to perform services related to the Company’s administration and operations. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FS/EIG Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FS/EIG Advisor allocates the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as time allocations and other reasonable metrics. The Company’s board of trustees reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Company and assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Company based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Company of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Company’s board of trustees considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Company’s board of trustees, among other things, compares the total amount paid to FS/EIG Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Company’s net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. The Company does not reimburse FS/EIG Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of FS/EIG Advisor.

_________________________

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $11,185 and $10,466, respectively, in base management fees were paid to FS/EIG Advisor. The base management fee amount shown in the table above is shown net of $255 and $698 in structuring, upfront or certain other fees received by FS/EIG Advisor or its members and offset against base management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, $10,219 in base management fees were payable to FS/EIG Advisor.

(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $645 and $638, respectively, of the accrued administrative services expenses related to the allocation of costs of administrative personnel for services rendered to the Company by FS/EIG Advisor and the remainder related to other reimbursable expenses. The Company paid $1,458 and $1,121 in administrative services expenses to FS/EIG Advisor, or its affiliates, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The members of the senior management and investment teams of FS/EIG Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. The officers, managers and other personnel of FS/EIG Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or EIG. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the Company’s best interests or in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For additional information regarding potential conflicts of interest, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Exemptive Relief

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, BDCs generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain affiliated entities in transactions originated by the BDC or its affiliates in the absence of an exemptive order from the SEC. However, BDCs are permitted to, and may, simultaneously co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated term. In an order dated June 4, 2013, or the Order, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of its former investment adviser, including FS KKR Capital Corp., or collectively the Company’s co-investment affiliates. Effective April 9, 2018, or the JV Effective Date, and in connection with the transition of advisory services to a joint advisory relationship with EIG, the Company’s board of trustees authorized and directed that the Company (i) withdraw from the Order, except with respect to any transaction in which the Company participated in reliance on the Order prior to the JV Effective Date, and (ii) rely on an exemptive relief order dated April 10, 2018, granted to EIG and its affiliates which permits the Company to participate in co-investment transactions with certain other EIG advised funds, or the EIG Order.

Note 5. Distributions

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company declared on its common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Distribution
For the Three Months Ended	Per Share		Amount

March 31, 2022	$	0.03	$	13,426



Fiscal 2023

Although the Company's board of trustees has not declared or resumed regular cash distributions to shareholders for any period after March 31, 2020, the Company's board of trustees has since declared three cash distributions in 2020, four cash distributions in 2021, four cash distributions in 2022 and one cash distribution in 2023, each in the amount of $0.03 per share. FS/EIG Advisor and the Company’s board of trustees expect that future regular cash distributions to shareholders will remain suspended until

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

such time that the Company’s board of trustees and FS/EIG Advisor believe that market conditions and the financial condition of the Company support the resumption of such distributions. The Company's board of trustees has and will continue to evaluate the Company's ability to pay any distributions in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions in the future. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of trustees. Furthermore, prior to its termination, the JPMorgan Facility restricted the ability of the Company to make certain discretionary cash dividends and distributions and other restricted payments. See Note 9 for a discussion of the JPMorgan Facility.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its shareholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its shareholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional common shares. However, certain state authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a shareholder's ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.

Under the distribution reinvestment plan, cash distributions to participating shareholders will be reinvested in additional common shares at a purchase price determined by the Company’s board of trustees, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that is (i) not less than the net asset value per common share as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of trustees or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the net asset value per common share as of such date. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will remain taxable to a U.S. shareholder.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common shares, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to the Company on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. The Company's distribution proceeds have exceeded and in the future may exceed its earnings. Therefore, portions of the distributions that the Company has made represented, and may make in the future may represent, a return of capital to shareholders, which lowers their tax basis in their common shares. A return of capital generally is a return of a shareholder’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of capital, which is a nontaxable distribution) will be mailed to the Company’s shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions on a tax basis that the Company declared on its common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023				2022
Source of Distribution	Distribution Amount		Percentage		Distribution Amount		Percentage

_________________________

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 86.6% and 80.1%, respectively, of the Company's gross investment income was attributable to cash income earned, 10.5% and 14.3%, respectively, was attributable to paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest and 2.9% and 5.6%, respectively, was attributable to non-cash accretion of discount.

In the past, the Company has experienced restructurings and defaults and may experience such events again in the future. Any restructuring or default may have an impact on the level of income received by the Company.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Company's distributions for a full year. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

Note 5. Distributions (continued)

Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains of $69,270 and $1,248,683, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, for federal income tax purposes, the gross unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investments, swap contracts and unrealized gain on foreign currency was $276,302 and $334,635, respectively, and the gross unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments, swap contracts and unrealized loss on foreign currency was $471,400 and $512,206, respectively.

The aggregate cost of the Company’s investments for federal income tax purposes totaled $1,938,093 and $2,223,943 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was $(195,432) and $(176,828) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax assets of $145,397 and $145,383, respectively, resulting from interest expense disallowance, net operating losses and capital losses of the Company's wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax liabilities of $19,413 and $28,753, respectively, resulting from unrealized appreciation on investments held by the Company's wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, certain wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries anticipated that they would be unable to fully utilize their deferred tax assets, therefore the deferred tax assets were offset by valuation allowances of $125,984 and $116,630, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not record a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for taxes related to its wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries of $1,207 related to current taxes.

Note 6. Financial Instruments

The Company may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company utilized swap contracts to economically hedge certain risks against natural gas and crude oil price exposure related to certain investments in the Company's portfolio. While the use of these derivative instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, their use also limits future revenues from upward price movements.

The Company's fixed price swaps are settled monthly based on differences between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price. When the referenced settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, the Company receives an amount from the counterparty based on the price difference multiplied by the volume. Similarly, when the referenced settlement price exceeds the price specified in the contract, the Company pays the counterparty an amount based on the price difference multiplied by the volume. The prices contained in these fixed price swaps are based on the NYMEX Henry Hub for natural gas and the ICE Brent for oil. Gas volumes are measured in one million British thermal units, or MMBtus, and oil volumes are measured in barrels, or Bbls.

Below is a summary of the Company's open fixed price swap positions as of March 31, 2023. The hedged volumes reflected below represent an aggregation of multiple derivative contracts that have varying durations and may not be realized on a ratable basis over a calendar year.

(1) Amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable, on investments.

In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if it owned more than 25% of its voting securities or it had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of a portfolio company, and would be an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if it owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company held investments in five portfolio companies of which it is deemed to be an “affiliated person” but is not deemed to “control.” As of March 31, 2023, the Company held investments in three portfolio companies of which it is deemed to “control.” For additional information with respect to such portfolio companies, see footnotes (s) and (t) to the unaudited consolidated schedule of investments as of March 31, 2023 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company held investments in six portfolio companies of which it is deemed to be an “affiliated person” but is not deemed to “control.” As of December 31, 2022, the Company held investments in three portfolio companies of which it is deemed to “control.” For additional information with respect to such portfolio companies, see footnotes (t) and (u) to the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2022 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain loans or bonds that are in the form of lines of credit or revolving credit facilities, or other investments, pursuant to which the Company may be required to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had five senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $23,937 and unfunded commitments of $7,625 in U.S. dollars and $858 in Canadian dollars to contribute capital to Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had six senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $25,891 and unfunded commitments of $7,625 in U.S dollars and $858 in Canadian dollars to contribute capital to Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and/or liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC

Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC, or SIIJV, is a joint venture between the Company and Imperial Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC, or Imperial, a subsidiary of Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC, or ICAM. The joint venture is governed pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of SIIJV, dated as of January 2, 2020, between the Company and Imperial, or the SIIJV Agreement. The SIIJV Agreement requires the Company and Imperial to provide capital to SIIJV of up to $67,629 in U.S. dollars and $5,430 in Canadian dollars in the aggregate where the Company and Imperial would provide 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the committed capital. Pursuant to the terms of the SIIJV Agreement, the Company and Imperial each have 50% voting control of SIIJV and are required to agree on all investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for SIIJV. SIIJV invests in senior secured loans (both first lien and second lien) to middle market companies, broadly syndicated loans and other midstream, renewables and power assets. As administrative agent of SIIJV, the Company performs certain day-to-day management responsibilities on behalf of SIIJV and is entitled to a fee in the annual amount of 0.25% of SIIJV’s net assets under administration, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears. As of March 31, 2023, the Company and Imperial funded approximately $62,300 to SIIJV, of which $54,514 was from the Company. The Company does not consolidate SIIJV in its consolidated financial statements.

On January 2, 2020, Seine Funding, LLC, or Seine Funding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIIJV, entered into a credit facility, as amended, or the Seine Funding Facility, with certain financial institutions as lender, agent, collateral agent, collateral administrator, and collateral custodian, and SIIJV, as collateral manager. The Seine Funding Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars and certain agreed upon foreign currencies in an aggregate principal amount of up to $634,103 on a committed basis, which may be increased under certain circumstances at the request of Seine Funding and with the consent of the lender and agent. The end of the reinvestment period for the Seine Funding Facility was on December 31, 2020. The maturity date for the Seine Funding Facility is the earlier of (i) the latest maturity date among the assets securing the facility and (ii) the first date, after the end of the reinvestment period, on which all assets securing the facility are paid in full. Under the Seine Funding Facility, borrowings bear interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR (or the relevant reference rate for any foreign currency borrowings) (subject to a 0% floor) plus 1.20% per annum. Borrowings under the Seine Funding Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Seine Funding. As of March 31, 2023, total outstanding borrowings under the Seine Funding Facility were $208,021.

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. This accounting guidance emphasizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments were categorized as follows in the fair value hierarchy:


Valuation Inputs	March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)		December 31, 2022

The Company’s board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy. The Company’s board of trustees has designated FS/EIG Advisor with day-to-day responsibility for implementing the portfolio valuation process set forth in FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy.

The Company’s investments consist primarily of investments that were acquired directly from the issuer. Debt investments, for which broker quotes or pricing information from third-party pricing services are not generally available, are valued by FS/EIG Advisor with the assistance of independent valuation firms, which determine a valuation range of fair value for such investments by considering, among other factors, the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, prevailing interest rates for like investments, call features, anticipated prepayments and other relevant terms of the investments. Except as described below, the Company’s investment in SIIJV and all of the Company’s preferred equity and equity/other investments are also valued by independent valuation firms, which determine the fair value of such investments by considering, among other factors, contractual rights ascribed to such investments, as well as various income scenarios and multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value, PV-10 multiples or liquidation value. An investment that is newly issued and purchased near the date of the financial statements is valued at cost if FS/EIG Advisor determines that the cost of such investment is the best indication of its fair value. Such investments described above are typically classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investments that are traded on an active public market are valued at their closing price as of the date of the financial statements and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Except as described above, FS/EIG Advisor typically values the Company’s other investments by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which are provided by an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair values of swap contracts, FS/EIG Advisor utilized an industry-standard pricing model that considers various inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace or can be corroborated by active markets or broker quotes and are typically classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

FS/EIG Advisor periodically benchmarks the bid and ask prices it receives from the third-party pricing service and/or dealers and independent valuation firms, as applicable, against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, FS/EIG Advisor believes that these prices are reliable indicators of fair value. FS/EIG Advisor reviewed the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy.

(1) Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in transfers into or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, transfers into Level 3 were due to decreased price transparency.

______________

(1) Investments using a market quotes valuation technique were valued by using the midpoint of the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers on the date of the relevant period end, which were provided by an independent third-party pricing service and screened for validity by such service. For investments utilizing a market comparables valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the market yield, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the valuation multiples, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For investments utilizing an option valuation model valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the volatility, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

(2) Fair valued based on expected outcome of proposed corporate transactions, the expected value of the liquidation preference of the investment or other factors.

(1) Per share data may be rounded in order to recompute the ending net asset value per share.

(2) The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period.

(3) The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid per share during the applicable period.

(4) The issuance of common shares on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value changes as a result of the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The issuance of common shares at a price that is greater than the net asset value per share results in an increase in net asset value per share.

Note 11. Financial Highlights (continued)

(5) The total return for each period presented was calculated based on the change in net asset value during the applicable period, including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The total return (without assuming reinvestment of distributions) for each period presented was calculated by taking the net asset value per share as of the end of the applicable period, adding the cash distributions per share which were declared during the applicable period and dividing the total by the net asset value per share at the beginning of the applicable period. The total returns do not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of the Company’s common shares. The total returns include the effect of the issuance of common shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. The historical calculations of total returns in the table should not be considered representations of the Company’s future total returns, which may be greater or less than the returns shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. The total return calculations set forth above represent the total returns on the Company’s investment portfolio during the applicable period and do not represent actual returns to shareholders.

(6) Weighted average net assets during the applicable period are used for this calculation. Ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are annualized. Annualized ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the ratios that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

(7) If FS/EIG Advisor had not agreed to offset the amount of any structuring, upfront or certain other fees it or its members received against the management fee payable by the Company, the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 3.83% and 3.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. See Note 4 for a discussion of the management fee offset with FS/EIG Advisor.

(8) Portfolio turnover for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is not annualized.

(9) Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness.

Overview

We were formed as a Delaware statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act on September 16, 2010 and formally commenced investment operations on July 18, 2011. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In November 2016, we closed our continuous public offering of common shares to new investors.

Our investment activities are managed by FS/EIG Advisor and supervised by our board of trustees, a majority of whom are independent. Under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, we have agreed to pay FS/EIG Advisor an annual base management fee based on the average weekly value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance.

Our investment policy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in securities of Energy companies. This investment policy may not be changed without at least 60 days’ prior notice to holders of our common shares of any such change.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and long-term capital appreciation. We pursue our investment objective by focusing on the following seven investment themes: (i) basin-on-basin competition in U.S. shale, (ii) globalization of natural gas, (iii) coal retirements and the evolving energy generation mix, (iv) renewables focused on power grid parity, (v) export infrastructure for emerging U.S. producers, (vi) market liberalization opening new markets and (vii) midstream infrastructure connecting new supplies. However, we may pursue other investment opportunities if we believe it is in our best interests and consistent with our investment objectives.

Within the above investment themes, we intend to focus on the following investment categories in an effort to generate returns for our investors with an acceptable level of risk.

Direct Originations: Through FS/EIG Advisor, we intend to directly source investment opportunities across the Energy industry. Such investments are typically originated and structured through a negotiated process in which we directly participate and are not generally available to the broader market. These investments may include both debt and equity components. We believe directly originated investments may offer higher returns and more favorable protections than broadly syndicated transactions.

Broadly Syndicated Loan and Bond Transactions: Although our primary focus is to invest in directly originated transactions, in certain circumstances we will also invest in the broadly syndicated loan and high yield bond markets. Broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than our directly originated investments and provide a complement to our less liquid strategies.

In the case of broadly syndicated investments, we generally intend to capitalize on market inefficiencies by investing in loans, bonds, and other asset classes where the market price of such investment reflects a lower value than we believe is warranted based on our fundamental analysis, providing us with an opportunity to earn an attractive return on our investment.

The majority of our portfolio is comprised of income-oriented securities, which principally refers to debt securities and income-oriented preferred and common equity interests, of privately-held Energy companies within the United States. Generally, we expect to invest primarily in directly originated investments and primary market transactions, as this will provide us with the ability to tailor investments to best match a project’s or company’s needs with our investment objectives. We intend to weight our portfolio towards senior secured debt and directly originated preferred equity investments, which we believe offer opportunities for superior risk-adjusted returns and income generation. Our debt investments may take the form of corporate or project loans or bonds, may be secured or unsecured and may, in some cases, be accompanied by yield enhancements. These yield enhancements are typically expected to include royalty interests in mineral, oil and gas properties, warrants, options, net profits interests, cash flow participations or other forms of equity participation that can provide additional consideration or “upside” in a transaction. Our preferred equity investments are mostly directly originated and may take the form of perpetual or redeemable securities, typically with a current income component and minimum base returns. In addition, certain income-oriented preferred or common equity interests may include interests in master limited partnerships and a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of derivatives, including the use of total return swaps, credit default swaps and other commodity swap contracts. In connection with certain of our debt investments or any restructuring of these debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests, including warrants or options, as additional consideration or otherwise in connection with a restructuring. FS/EIG Advisor will seek to tailor our investment focus as market conditions evolve.

Table of Contents

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gain or loss on investments, foreign currency, swap contracts and debt extinguishment, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, net change in unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency and net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts. Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net realized gain or loss on swap contracts is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to the difference between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those foreign denominated investments. Net change in unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of the difference between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price.

We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we hold. We also generate revenues in the form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we may hold. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form of non-recurring commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive fees and other expenses under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for our operations. The management and incentive fees compensate FS/EIG Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments.

FS/EIG Advisor oversees our day-to-day operations, including the provision of general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations, certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative services. FS/EIG Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our shareholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, FS/EIG Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our shareholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others.

We reimburse FS/EIG Advisor for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including FS/EIG Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and EIG providing administrative services to us on behalf of FS/EIG Advisor, and for transactional expenses for prospective investments, such as fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of investments that do not close, often referred to as "broken deal" costs. We reimburse FS/EIG Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by FS/EIG Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (1) FS/EIG Advisor’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that we estimate would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. FS/EIG Advisor allocates the cost of such services to us based on factors such as time allocations and other reasonable metrics. Our board of trustees reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to us and assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to us based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, our board of trustees considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our board of trustees compares the total amount paid to FS/EIG Advisor for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. We do not reimburse FS/EIG Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of FS/EIG Advisor.

We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including all other expenses incurred by FS/EIG Advisor in performing services for us and administrative personnel paid by FS/EIG Advisor, to the extent they are not controlling persons of FS/EIG Advisor or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations included in the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement.

In addition, we have contracted with State Street to provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by FS/EIG Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets,

maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

For information regarding the fee offset with FS/EIG Advisor, see Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

COVID-19 and Energy Market Developments

Events in recent years such as the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, global lockdowns and ongoing negotiations regarding production levels between oil producing countries, have, at times, resulted in lower demand for crude oil and, as a result, lower commodity prices. Although the energy markets have had a notable recovery in 2021 and 2022, volatility in the energy markets may persist, recur or worsen, as a result of these events or other macroeconomic events, such as the current conflict in Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia in response. The impact of these events on the U.S. and global economies (including energy markets), has negatively impacted, and could continue to negatively impact, the business operations of some of our portfolio companies. Many of our portfolio companies are performing well, and energy markets are currently experiencing relatively stable conditions. However, we expect that certain of our portfolio companies may continue to experience economic distress for the foreseeable future and could become insolvent or otherwise significantly limit business operations if subjected to prolonged economic distress, including as a result of depressed commodity prices or other declines in the energy markets. These developments could result in a further decrease in the value of our investments.

These events have previously had adverse effects on our investment income and we expect that such adverse effects may continue for some time. These adverse effects have required and may again require us to restructure certain of our investments, which could result in further reductions to our investment income or in impairments on our investments. In addition, disruptions in the capital markets have resulted in illiquidity in certain market areas at times. These market disruptions and illiquidity have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions caused by these events may increase our funding costs and limit our access to the capital markets. These events have previously limited our investment originations, which may continue for the immediate future, and have also previously had a material negative impact on our operating results for a period of time. In addition, the growth of non-income producing equity investments as a percentage of the portfolio has materially reduced the value of collateral available to secure our financing arrangements. Consequently, this has adversely impacted our liquidity, may cause us to fall out of compliance with certain portfolio requirements under the 1940 Act that are tied to the value of our investments and, in each case, may continue to do so in the future.

In light of such difficult market conditions and in an effort to preserve our liquidity, our board of trustees determined to suspend for an indefinite period of time our share repurchase program and will reassess our ability to recommence such program in future periods. Although our board of trustees has not declared or resumed regular cash distributions to shareholders for any period after March 31, 2020, our board of trustees has since declared three cash distributions in 2020, four cash distributions in 2021, four cash distributions in 2022 and one cash distribution in 2023, each in the amount of $0.03 per share. FS/EIG Advisor and our board of trustees expect that future regular cash distributions to shareholders will remain suspended until such time that our board of trustees and FS/EIG Advisor believe that market conditions and our financial condition support the resumption of such distributions. Our board of trustees has and will continue to evaluate our ability to pay any distributions in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions in the future.

We will continue to carefully monitor the energy markets and any other new or ongoing events that may affect our business and the business of our portfolio companies, including the current conflict in Ukraine and government responses thereto. Because the full effects of these events are not capable of being known at this time, we cannot estimate the impacts on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Direct Originations

We define Direct Originations as any investment where FS/EIG Advisor or its affiliates negotiate the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms. These Direct Originations include participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions.

The following table presents certain selected information regarding our Direct Originations as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, FS/EIG Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. FS/EIG Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 5. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:


Investment Rating						Summary Description
1						Investment exceeding expectations and/or capital gain expected.
2						Performing investment generally executing in accordance with the portfolio company’s business plan—full return of principal and interest expected.
3						Performing investment requiring closer monitoring.
4						Underperforming investment—some loss of interest or dividend possible, but still expecting a positive return on investment.
5						Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
Investment Rating	Fair Value		Percentage of Portfolio		Fair Value		Percentage of Portfolio

Total	$	1,742,661	100	%	$	2,047,115	100	%

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Revenues

Our investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023	2022
			Amount		Percentage of Total Income		Amount		Percentage of Total Income
Interest income			$	32,806	76	%	$	27,087	76	%
Paid-in-kind interest income			4,502		11	%	5,128		14	%
Fee income			97		0	%	1,233		3	%
Dividend income			5,690		13	%	2,461		7	%
Total investment income(1)			$	43,095	100	%	$	35,909	100	%

_____________________________

(1) Such revenues represent $37,331 and $28,752 of cash income earned as well as $5,764 and $7,157 in non-cash portions relating to accretion of discount and PIK interest for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized.

The level of interest income we receive is generally related to the balance of income-producing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We may experience volatility in the amount of interest income that we earn as the accrual status of existing portfolio investments may fluctuate due to restructuring activity in the portfolio.

The increase in the amount of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.

Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of prepayment fees and structuring fees. As such, future fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees.

The increase in the amount of dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the increase in dividends paid with respect to our investments in certain common equities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments was primarily driven by the performance of our directly originated assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments was primarily driven by the performance of our directly originated assets and certain of our upstream equity/other investments and the conversion of unrealized depreciation to realized losses.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $(32,554) ($(0.07) per share) and $189,783 ($0.42 per share), respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2023, we had $438,494 in cash, which we held in custodial accounts. As of March 31, 2023, we also had broadly syndicated investments that could be sold to create additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, we had five senior secured loan investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $23,937 and unfunded commitments of $7,625 in U.S. dollars and $858 in Canadian dollars to contribute capital to Sustainable Infrastructure Investments, LLC. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and/or liquid securities to fund such unfunded commitments and other contractual commitments should the need arise.

On February 14, 2023, we repaid and terminated the JPMorgan Facility with cash. On April 14, 2023, we delivered notice of our intention to redeem 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, on May 15, 2023. For additional information regarding our financing arrangements, see Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

We generate cash primarily from the issuance of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan and from cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. To seek to enhance our returns, we may also seek to employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of FS/EIG Advisor, but unless and until we elect otherwise, as permitted by the 1940 Act, in no event will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act. See “—Financing Arrangements.”

Table of Contents

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan as well as from sales and paydowns of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, including money market funds, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC.

In light of difficult market conditions, we took several steps in 2020 to seek to enhance our liquidity by, among other things, suspending our share repurchase program, suspending regular cash distributions and reducing leverage by paying down borrowings. The share repurchase program and regular cash distributions currently remain suspended.

RIC Tax Treatment and Distributions

We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute as dividends to our shareholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each tax year, dividends generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the sum of our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. In addition, we may, in certain cases, satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement by distributing dividends relating to a tax year after the close of such tax year under the “spillover dividend” provisions of Subchapter M of the Code. If we distribute a spillover dividend, such dividend will be included in a shareholder’s gross income for the tax year in which the spillover distribution is paid. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our shareholders to maintain our RIC tax treatment each tax year. We will also be subject to nondeductible U.S. federal excise taxes on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner to our shareholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary taxable income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains over capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses), for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and (3) 100% of any ordinary income and capital gain net income recognized for the preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any distribution declared by us during October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to our shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following calendar year, will be treated as if it had been paid by us, as well as received by our U.S. shareholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was declared.

In general, when we pay regular cash distributions, we intend to declare them on a quarterly or monthly basis and pay them on a monthly basis. We will calculate each shareholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each shareholder’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date that common shares are issued to such shareholder. From time to time, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or common shares at the discretion of our board of trustees. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of trustees.

Our distribution proceeds have exceeded and in the future may exceed our earnings. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we have made represented, and may make in the future may represent, a return of capital to shareholders, which lowers their tax basis in their common shares. A return of capital generally is a return of an investor’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities and will be made after deducting the fees and expenses payable in connection with our continuous public offering, including any fees payable to FS/EIG Advisor. Moreover, a return of capital will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder’s cost basis in our common shares, and will result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported

Table of Contents

capital loss when the common shares on which such return of capital was received are sold. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our shareholders.

We intend to make any regular distributions in the form of cash, out of assets legally available for distribution, unless shareholders elect to receive their cash distributions in additional common shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. shareholder.

Although our board of trustees has not declared or resumed regular cash distributions to shareholders for any period after March 31, 2020, our board of trustees has since declared three cash distributions in 2020, four cash distributions in 2021, four cash distributions in 2022 and one cash distribution in 2023, each in the amount of $0.03 per share. FS/EIG Advisor and our board of trustees expect that future regular cash distributions to shareholders will remain suspended until such time that our board of trustees and FS/EIG Advisor believe that market conditions and our financial condition support the resumption of such distributions. Our board of trustees has and will continue to evaluate our ability to pay any distributions in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay distributions in the future. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of trustees. In addition, prior to its termination, the JPMorgan Facility restricted our ability to make certain discretionary cash dividends and distributions and other restricted payments.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have declared on our common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Distribution

See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming the estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We describe our most significant accounting policies in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. We have identified one of our accounting policies, valuation of portfolio investments, as critical because it involves significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters, and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial condition. As we execute our operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Our board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the valuation of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy. As permitted by Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, our board of trustees has designated FS/EIG Advisor as our valuation designee, with day-to-day responsibility for implementing the portfolio valuation process set forth in FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or ASC Topic 820, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as

Table of Contents

quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

FS/EIG Advisor determines the fair value of our investment portfolio each quarter. Securities that are publicly-traded with readily available market prices will be valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded with readily available market prices will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by FS/EIG Advisor. In connection with that determination, FS/EIG Advisor will prepare portfolio company valuations which are based on relevant inputs, including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and valuations prepared by independent third-party pricing and valuation services.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, a multi-step valuation process is undertaken each quarter, as described below:

•our quarterly fair valuation process begins with FS/EIG Advisor facilitating the delivery of updated quarterly financial and other information relating to each investment to an independent third-party pricing or valuation service;

•the independent third-party pricing or valuation service then reviews and analyzes the information, along with relevant market and economic data, and determines proposed valuations for each portfolio company or investment according to the valuation methodologies in FS/EIG Advisor’s valuation policy and communicates the information to FS/EIG Advisor in the form of a valuation range for Level 3 assets;

•FS/EIG Advisor then reviews the preliminary valuation information for each portfolio company or investment and provides feedback about the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the valuation-related inputs considered by the independent third-party pricing or valuation service and any suggested revisions thereto prior to the independent third-party pricing or valuation service finalizing its valuation range;

•FS/EIG Advisor then provides the valuation committee with its valuation determinations and valuation-related information for each portfolio company or investment, along with any applicable supporting materials; and other information that is relevant to the fair valuation process as required by FS/EIG Advisor’s board reporting obligations;

•the valuation committee meets with FS/EIG Advisor to receive the relevant quarterly reporting from FS/EIG Advisor and to discuss any questions from the valuation committee in connection with the valuation committee’s role in overseeing the fair valuation process; and

•following the completion of its fair value oversight activities, the valuation committee (with the assistance of FS/EIG Advisor) provides our board of trustees with a report regarding the quarterly valuation process.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making its determination of fair value, FS/EIG Advisor may use any independent third-party pricing or valuation services for which it has performed the appropriate level of due diligence. However, FS/EIG Advisor is not required to determine fair value in accordance with the valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data, including information sourced by FS/EIG Advisor or provided by any independent third-party pricing or valuation service that FS/EIG Advisor deems to be reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a description of factors that FS/EIG Advisor and any independent third-party valuation services may consider when determining the fair value of our investments.

The valuation methods utilized for each portfolio company may vary depending on industry and company-specific considerations. Typically, the first step is to make an assessment as to the enterprise value of the portfolio company’s business in order to establish whether the portfolio company’s enterprise value is greater than the amount of its debt as of the valuation date. This analysis helps to determine a risk profile for the applicable portfolio company and its related investments, and the appropriate valuation methodology to utilize as part of the security valuation analysis. The enterprise valuation may be determined using a market or income approach.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, FS/EIG Advisor may incorporate these factors into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Various methods may be used to determine the appropriate discount rate in a discounted cash flow model.

Other factors that may be considered include the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing the debt investments.

Table of Contents

For convertible debt securities, fair value generally approximates the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (i.e., the security into which the debt may convert) at the conversion price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

Our equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public companies for which market quotations are readily available is based upon the most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. FS/EIG Advisor subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received at their fair value.

Swap contracts typically are valued at their daily prices obtained from an independent third party. The aggregate settlement values and notional amounts of the swap contracts are not recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the swap contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities as gross assets and gross liabilities and in the statements of operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until closed, when they will be recorded as net realized gain (loss).

See Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an agreement with FS/EIG Advisor to provide us with investment advisory and administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the FS/EIG investment advisory agreement are equal to 1.75% of the average weekly value of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance. Base management fees are generally paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. FS/EIG Advisor is reimbursed for administrative services expenses incurred on our behalf. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of this agreement and for the amount of fees and expenses accrued under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2023, 35.4% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid variable interest rates, 15.0% paid fixed interest rates, 26.2% were income producing preferred equity and equity/other investments and the remaining 23.4% consisted of non-income producing preferred equity and equity/other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and the amount of incentive fees payable to FS/EIG Advisor with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, we pay interest to the holders of such notes at a fixed rate. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or our subsidiaries have such debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve-month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our borrowing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2023 (dollar amounts are presented in thousands):


Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income		Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense		Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income		Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Down 100 basis points	$	(11,059)	$	—	$	(11,059)	(12.4)	%
No change	—		—		—		—
Up 100 basis points	$	3,160	$	—	$	3,160	3.5	%
Up 300 basis points	$	17,379	$	—	$	17,379	19.4	%
Up 500 basis points	$	31,598	$	—	$	31,598	35.4	%

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risks regarding portfolio valuation and the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Valuation of Portfolio Investments.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that appeared under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. There are no material changes from the risk factors included within our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the risks described below.

Our business is dependent on bank relationships and recent strain on the banking system may adversely impact us.

The financial markets recently have encountered volatility associated with concerns about the balance sheets of banks, especially small and regional banks who may have significant losses associated with investments that make it difficult to fund demands to withdraw deposits and other liquidity needs. Although the federal government has announced measures to assist these banks and protect depositors, some banks have already been impacted and others may be materially and adversely impacted. Our business is dependent on bank relationships and we are proactively monitoring the financial health of such bank relationships. Continued strain on the banking system may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our transition to a new investment policy will increase portfolio turnover, which will increase commission and transaction costs.

We expect that the transition to the Company's new investment policy will require more frequent trading and a high portfolio turnover (i.e., the purchase and sale of instruments and securities). The more frequently the Company trades, the higher the commission and transaction costs and certain other expenses involved in its operations. The Company will bear these costs regardless of the profitability of its investment and trading activities. In addition, a high portfolio turnover may increase the recognition of short-term, rather than long-term, capital gains.

The Company’s debt investments are subject to certain risks.

Debt investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal by the borrowers with respect to such investments. Such non-payment would likely result in a reduction of income to the Company and a reduction in the value of the debt investments experiencing non-payment.

Although the Company may invest in investments that management believes are secured by specific collateral, the value of which may exceed the principal amount of the investments at the time of initial investment, there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments with respect to such investment, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy of a borrower, the Company could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing an investment. Under certain circumstances, collateral securing an investment may be released without the consent of the Company. Moreover, the Company’s investments in secured debt may be unperfected for a variety of reasons, including the failure to make required filings by lenders, trustees or other responsible parties and, as a result, the Company may not have priority over other creditors as anticipated. The Company’s right to payment and its security interest, if any, may be subordinated to the payment rights and security interests of more senior creditors. Certain of these investments may have an interest-only payment schedule, with the principal amount remaining outstanding and at risk until the maturity of the investment. In this case, a portfolio company’s ability to repay the principal of an investment may be dependent upon a liquidity event or the long-term success of the company, the occurrence of which is uncertain.

Companies in which the Company invests could deteriorate as a result of, among other factors, an adverse development in their business, a change in the competitive environment or an economic downturn. As a result, companies that the Company expected to be stable may operate, or expect to operate, at a loss or have significant variations in operating results, may require substantial additional capital to support their operations or maintain their competitive position, or may otherwise have a weak financial condition or be experiencing financial distress.

Below investment grade debt instruments may be subject to greater risks than securities or instruments that have higher credit ratings, including a higher risk of default.

The credit rating of a corporate bond and senior loan that is rated below investment grade does not necessarily address its market value risk, and ratings may from time to time change, positively or negatively, to reflect developments regarding the

borrower’s financial condition. Below investment grade corporate bonds and senior loans and similar instruments often are considered to be speculative with respect to the capacity of the borrower to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have more credit risk than higher rated securities. Lower grade securities and similar debt instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns. It is likely that a prolonged or deepening economic recession could adversely affect the ability of some borrowers issuing such corporate bonds, senior loans and similar debt instruments to repay principal and pay interest on the instrument, increase the incidence of default and severely disrupt the market value of the securities and similar debt instruments.

Item 5. Other Information.

Senior Secured Notes

On April 14, 2023, the Company delivered notice of its intention to redeem 100% of the principal amount of its outstanding Senior Secured Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, on May 15, 2023.

Company Name and Investment Policy

Our board of trustees has approved changing the Company’s name to FS Specialty Lending Fund and changing its non-fundamental investment policy to be to invest primarily in a portfolio of secured and unsecured floating and fixed rate loans, bonds and other types of credit instruments, which, under normal circumstances, will represent at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets, rather than to invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of Energy companies. We believe this new diversified credit investment policy will help maximize the Company’s long-term liquidity options and reduce the volatility associated with a single sector-focused investment policy. To demonstrate a meaningful and tangible step towards providing shareholders with liquidity, we expect to provide quarterly distributions to shareholders commencing in the third quarter of 2023 at an annualized distribution rate of approximately 7.5% based on the Company’s net asset value at the time of declaration and increasing in subsequent years until the achievement of a long-term liquidity event, subject to a maximum cap of 15% of the Company’s then-current net asset value beyond 2026. FS/EIG Advisor will continue to manage the Company under the new investment policy and is expected to supplement its investment management resources with existing resources at FS Investments, one of FS/EIG Advisor’s joint venture partners. There will be no changes to the Company’s Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement, dated April 9, 2018, between the Company and FS/EIG Advisor.

The effective date of the new investment policy will be 60 days after we send to our shareholders a regulatory notice regarding the change. We expect to send this regulatory notice prior to the end of the second quarter. In the meantime, management intends to begin transitioning the Company’s portfolio holdings away from investments in the Energy sector, while remaining in compliance with the Company’s current policy. Like the current investment policy, the new investment policy may not be changed without at least 60 days’ prior notice to holders of the Company’s common shares of any such change.

In light of the changes discussed above, the Company is amending the section titled “Risks Related to Our Investments” in Item 1A of its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the amended risk factors.
