Declaration of Regular Distribution for First Quarter 2018

FSIC's board of directors has declared a regular cash distribution for the first quarter of $0.19 per share, which will be paid on or about April 3, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 21, 2018.

Share Repurchase Program

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). FSIC uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSIC's financial results with other BDCs.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSIC's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSIC's common stock outstanding during the applicable

period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all

periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and

unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes; and (iii) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not

representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSIC's normal course of business (referred to herein as one-

time expenses). FSIC uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use

of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in

comparing its financial results with other business development companies. The presentation of this additional information is

not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A

reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income can be found above.

Gross portfolio yield represents the expected annualized yield of FSIC's investment portfolio based on the composition of the

portfolio as of the applicable date. FSIC's estimated gross portfolio yield may be higher than an investor's yield on an

investment in shares of FSIC's common stock because it does not reflect sales commissions or charges that may be incurred

in connection with the purchase or sale of such shares, or operating expenses that may be incurred by FSIC. FSIC's estimated

gross portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to stockholders, is subject to change and, in the future,

may be greater or less than the rates set forth herein.



6)

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSIC's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

2017 for a description of FSIC's revenue recognition policy.
