4.000% Notes due 2019
We are offering for sale $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.000% notes due 2019, which we refer to as the Notes. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2019. We will

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. It is not complete and
may not contain all of the information that you may want to consider. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled "Risk Factors," before making a decision to invest in
our securities.
Unless otherwise noted, the terms "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and "FSIC" refer to FS Investment Corporation. In addition, the
term "FB Advisor" refers to FB Income Advisor, LLC, the term "GDFM" refers to GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, a
subsidiary of GSO Capital Partners LP, the term "GSO" refers to GSO Capital Partners LP, the term "Blackstone" refers to The Blackstone
Group L.P. and the term "indenture" refers to the base indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented
by a separate supplemental indenture, each to be dated as of the settlement date for the Notes. Capitalized terms used in this prospectus
supplement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying prospectus or in the indenture governing
the Notes.
FS Investment Corporation
We are 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 1940 Act. As such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. See
"Regulation" in the accompanying prospectus. In addition, we have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify
annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
We are managed by FB Advisor, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the
Advisers Act, which oversees the management of our operations and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our
portfolio. FB Advisor has engaged GDFM to act as our investment sub-adviser. GDFM assists FB Advisor in identifying investment

FS Investment Corp--Final Prospectus Supplement
opportunities and will make investment recommendations for approval by FB Advisor, according to guidelines set by FB Advisor. GDFM, a
registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, is a subsidiary of GSO, which oversaw approximately $66.0 billion in assets under
management as of March 31, 2014. GSO is the credit platform of Blackstone.
Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We seek to meet our
investment objectives by:

·
utilizing the experience and expertise of the management teams of FB Advisor and GDFM, along with the broader resources

of GSO, which include its access to the relationships and human capital of its parent, Blackstone, in sourcing, evaluating
and structuring transactions;


·
employing a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit performance and principal protection;

·
focusing primarily on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S. companies, including middle-market companies,

which we define as companies with annual revenues of $50 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment. In many market
environments, we believe such a focus offers an opportunity for superior risk adjusted returns;


·
investing primarily in established, stable enterprises with positive cash flows; and

·
maintaining rigorous portfolio monitoring, in an attempt to anticipate and pre-empt negative credit events within our

portfolio.
Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans and second lien secured loans of private middle-market U.S.
companies and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies.


S-1
Table of Contents
Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such
loans in which we may invest. We may purchase interests in loans through secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market
for institutional loans or directly from our target companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity
interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred
equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor,
such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other
debt securities.
The senior secured and second lien secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and any
subordinated debt investments that we make generally will have stated terms of up to ten years, but the expected average life of such securities
is generally between three and seven years. However, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any security we may hold in our portfolio.
The loans in which we invest may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization, or NRSRO, and, in such case, generally
will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than "Baa3" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or Moody's, or lower than "BBB-"
by Standard & Poor's Corporation, or S&P). We also invest in non-rated debt securities.
As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our 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, co-invest in transactions where price is the only negotiated point. In an order dated June 4,
2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately
negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of FB Advisor, including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS Investment Corporation II,
FS Investment Corporation III and any future BDCs that are advised by FB Advisor or its affiliated investment advisers, or collectively our co-
investment affiliates. We believe this relief may not only enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategy, but may also
increase favorable investment opportunities for us, in part by allowing us to participate in larger investments, together with our co-investment
affiliates, than would be available to us if we had not obtained such relief. Because we did not seek exemptive relief to engage in co-
investment transactions with GDFM and its affiliates, we will continue to be permitted to co-invest with GDFM and its affiliates only in
accordance with existing regulatory guidance.
To seek to enhance our returns, we employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of FB Advisor, but in no event
will leverage employed exceed 50% of the value of our assets, as required by the 1940 Act.
On April 16, 2014, our shares of common stock were listed on the NYSE and began trading under the ticker symbol "FSIC".
On April 16, 2014, we commenced a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer, or the listing tender offer, to purchase for cash up to $250.0
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1422183/000119312514263042/d746362d497.htm[12/16/2014 12:38:41 PM]

million in value of our shares of common stock from our stockholders, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on May 28, 2014.
Pursuant to the listing tender offer, we accepted for purchase 23,255,813 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $10.75 per share, for
an aggregate cost of approximately $250.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the listing tender offer. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation--Recent Developments--Listing Tender Offer" in the
accompanying prospectus for more information.
Our Public Offering
In May 2012, we closed our continuous public offering of common stock to new investors. We sold 247,454,171 shares (as adjusted for
stock distributions) of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.6 billion in our continuous public offering.

Portfolio Update
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling approximately $2.6 billion. During the
same period, we sold investments for proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion and received principal repayments of approximately $1.4 billion.
As of December 31, 2013, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of approximately $4.1 billion, consisted of interests in 165 portfolio
companies (51% in first lien senior secured loans, 22% in second lien senior secured loans, 9% in senior secured bonds, 10% in subordinated
debt, 4% in collateralized securities and 4% in equity/other). The portfolio companies that comprised our portfolio as of such date had an
average annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of approximately $190.7 million. As of
December 31, 2013, the investments in our portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 97.3% of par or stated value, as applicable,
the weighted average credit rating of the investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 40.7% of our portfolio based
on the fair value of our investments) was B3 based upon the Moody's scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield (which represents
the expected yield to be generated by us on our investment portfolio based on the composition of our portfolio as of such date), prior to
leverage, was 10.1% based upon the amortized cost of our investments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we made investments in portfolio companies totaling approximately $471.5 million.
During the same period, we sold investments for proceeds of approximately $307.0 million and received principal repayments of
approximately $259.1 million. As of March 31, 2014, our investment portfolio, with a total fair value of approximately $4.1 billion, consisted
of interests in 148 portfolio companies (50% in first lien senior secured loans, 22% in second lien senior secured loans, 10% in senior secured
bonds, 10% in subordinated debt, 3% in collateralized securities and 5% in equity/other). The portfolio companies that comprised our
portfolio as of such date had an average annual EBITDA of approximately $174.2 million. As of March 31, 2014, the investments in our
portfolio were purchased at a weighted average price of 97.1% of par or stated value, as applicable, the weighted average credit rating of the
investments in our portfolio that were rated (constituting approximately 32.5% of our portfolio based on the fair value of our investments) was
B3 based upon the Moody's scale and our estimated gross annual portfolio yield, prior to leverage, was 10.2% based upon the amortized cost
of our investments. See "Portfolio Companies" in the accompanying prospectus for a list of the investments in our portfolio as of March 31,
2014. The portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to stockholders and may be higher than what stockholders will realize
on an investment in our common stock because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load that may have been paid by such stockholder.

Our chairman and chief executive officer, Michael C. Forman, has led FB Advisor since its inception. In 2007, he co-founded Franklin
Square Holdings with the goal of delivering alternative investment solutions, advised by what Franklin Square Holdings believes to be best-

expertise in using all levels of a firm's capital structure to produce income-generating investments, while focusing on risk management. The
team also has extensive knowledge of the managerial, operational and regulatory requirements of publicly registered alternative asset entities,
such as BDCs. We believe that the active and ongoing participation by Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliates in the credit markets, and
the depth of experience and disciplined investment approach of FB Advisor's management team, will allow FB Advisor to successfully
execute our investment strategy.

About GDFM

Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and may be considered speculative. You should carefully consider the
information found in "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-16 in this prospectus supplement and beginning on page 22 in the accompanying
prospectus, and the other information included in the accompanying prospectus, for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider
before deciding to invest in the Notes.
Market Opportunity
We believe that there are and will continue to be significant investment opportunities in the senior secured and second lien secured loan
asset class, as well as investments in debt securities of middle-market companies.
Attractive Opportunities in Senior Secured and Second Lien Secured Loans
We believe that opportunities in senior secured and second lien secured loans are significant because of the variable rate structure of
most senior secured debt issues and because of the strong defensive characteristics of this investment class. Given current market conditions,
we believe that debt issues with variable interest rates offer a superior return profile to fixed-rate securities, since variable interest rate
structures are generally less susceptible to declines in value experienced by fixed-rate securities in a rising interest rate environment.
Senior secured debt issues also provide strong defensive characteristics. Because these loans have priority in payment among an issuer's
security holders (i.e., they are due to receive payment before bondholders and equityholders), they carry the least potential risk among
investments in the issuer's capital structure. Further, these investments are secured by the issuer's assets, which may be seized in the event of a
default, if necessary. They generally also carry restrictive covenants aimed at ensuring repayment before unsecured creditors, such as most
types of public bondholders, and other security holders and preserving collateral to protect against credit deterioration.

In addition to investing in senior secured and second lien secured loans generally, we believe that the market for lending to private
companies, particularly middle-market private companies within the United States, is underserved and presents a compelling investment
opportunity. We believe that the following characteristics support our belief:
Large Target Market. According to The U.S. Census Bureau, in its most recently released economic census in 2007, there were
approximately 40,000 middle-market companies in the U.S. with annual revenues between $50 million and $2.5 billion, compared with
approximately 1,200 companies with revenues greater than $2.5 billion. These middle-market companies represent, we believe, a significant
portion of the growth segment of the U.S. economy and often require substantial capital investment to grow their businesses. Middle-market
companies have generated a significant number of investment opportunities for investment programs managed by our affiliates and GDFM
over the past several years, and we believe that this market segment will continue to produce significant investment opportunities for us.
Limited Investment Competition. Despite the size of the market, we believe that regulatory changes and other factors have diminished the
role of traditional financial institutions and certain other capital providers in providing financing to middle-market companies. We believe that
lending to middle-market companies, which are often private, generally requires a greater dedication of the lender's time and resources
compared to lending to larger companies, due in part to the smaller size of each investment and the often fragmented nature of information
available from these companies. In addition, middle-market companies may require more active

monitoring and participation on the lender's part. We believe that many large financial organizations, which often have relatively high cost
structures, are not suited to deal with these factors and instead emphasize services and transactions to larger corporate clients with a
consequent reduction in the availability of financing to middle-market companies.
Attractive Market Segment. We believe that the underserved nature of such a large segment of the market can at times create a significant
opportunity for investment. In many environments, we believe that middle-market companies are more likely to offer attractive economics in
terms of transaction pricing, up-front and ongoing fees, prepayment penalties and security features in the form of stricter covenants and
quality collateral than loans to larger companies. In addition, as compared to larger companies, middle-market companies often have simpler
capital structures and carry less leverage, thus aiding the structuring and negotiation process and allowing us greater flexibility in structuring
favorable transactions. We believe that these factors will result in advantageous conditions in which to pursue our investment objectives of
generating current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.
Characteristics of and Risks Related to Investments in Private Companies
We invest primarily in the debt of private middle-market U.S. companies. Investments in private companies pose significantly greater
risks than investments in public companies. First, private companies have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished
capital resources and ability to withstand financial distress. As a result, these companies, which may present greater credit risk than public
companies, may be unable to meet the obligations under their debt securities that we hold. Second, the investments themselves may often be
illiquid. The securities of many of the companies in which we invest are not publicly-traded or actively-traded on the secondary market and
are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. In addition, such securities may be
subject to legal and other restrictions on resale. As such, we may have difficulty exiting an investment promptly or at a desired price prior to
maturity or outside of a normal amortization schedule. These investments also may be difficult to value because little public information
generally exists about private companies, requiring an experienced due diligence team to analyze and value the potential portfolio company.
Finally, these companies often may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. We must therefore rely on the ability of
FB Advisor and/or GDFM to obtain adequate information through their due diligence efforts to evaluate the creditworthiness of, and risks
involved in, investing in these companies, and to determine the optimal time to exit an investment. These companies and their financial
information will also generally not be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other rules and regulations
that govern public companies that are designed to protect investors.
Investment Strategy
Our principal focus is to invest in senior secured and second lien secured loans of private U.S. middle-market companies, and to a lesser
extent, subordinated loans of private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our portfolio to be comprised of
subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount of such loans in which we may invest. We may purchase interests in loans through
secondary market transactions in the "over-the-counter" market for institutional loans or directly from our target companies. In connection

with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also
purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt
investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor, such as an institutional investor or private equity firm. In addition, a portion
of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds and other debt securities.
When identifying prospective portfolio companies, we focus primarily on the attributes set forth below, which we believe will help us
generate higher total returns with an acceptable level of risk. While these criteria provide general guidelines for our investment decisions, we
caution investors that, if we believe the benefits of


S-7
Table of Contents
investing are sufficiently strong, not all of these criteria necessarily will be met by each prospective portfolio company in which we choose to
invest. These attributes are:

·
Leading, defensible market positions. We seek to invest in companies that have developed strong positions within their respective
markets and exhibit the potential to maintain sufficient cash flows and profitability to service our debt in a range of economic

environments. We seek companies that can protect their competitive advantages through scale, scope, customer loyalty, product
pricing or product quality versus their competitors, thereby minimizing business risk and protecting profitability.

·
Investing in stable companies with positive cash flow. We seek to invest in established, stable companies with strong profitability
and cash flows. Such companies, we believe, are well-positioned to maintain consistent cash flow to service and repay our loans

and maintain growth in their businesses or market share. We do not intend to invest to any significant degree in start-up companies,
turnaround situations or companies with speculative business plans.

·
Proven management teams. We focus on companies that have experienced management teams with an established track record of

success. We typically prefer our portfolio companies to have proper incentives in place to align management's goals with ours.

·
Private equity sponsorship. Often, we seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what we believe to be sophisticated and
seasoned private equity firms. FB Advisor's management team believes that a private equity sponsor's willingness to invest
significant sums of equity capital into a company is an endorsement of the quality of the investment. Further, by co-investing with
such experienced private equity firms which commit significant sums of equity capital ranking junior in priority of payment to our

debt investments, we may benefit from the due diligence review performed by the private equity firm, in addition to our own due
diligence review. Further, strong private equity sponsors with significant investments at risk have the ability and a strong incentive
to contribute additional capital in difficult economic times should operational or financial issues arise which could provide
additional protections for our investments.

·
Allocation among various issuers and industries. We seek to allocate our portfolio broadly among issuers and industries, thereby

attempting to reduce the risk of a downturn in any one company or industry having a disproportionate adverse impact on the value
of our portfolio.

·
Viable exit strategy. While we attempt to invest in securities that may be sold in a privately negotiated over-the-counter market,
providing us a means by which we may exit our positions, we expect that a large portion of our portfolio may not be sold on this

secondary market. For any investments that are not able to be sold within this market, we focus primarily on investing in
companies whose business models and growth prospects offer attractive exit possibilities, including repayment of our investments,
an initial public offering of equity securities, a merger, a sale or a recapitalization, in each case with the potential for capital gains.
See "Investment Objectives and Strategy" in the accompanying prospectus for additional information regarding our investment strategy.
In addition, in an order dated June 4, 2013, the SEC granted exemptive relief that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
expands our ability to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with our co-investment affiliates, which we believe
will enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategy.

Potential Competitive Strengths
We believe that we offer our investors the following potential competitive strengths:
Global platform with seasoned investment professionals. We believe that the breadth and depth of the experience of FB Advisor's senior
management team, together with the wider resources of GSO's investment team, which is dedicated to sourcing, structuring, executing,
monitoring and harvesting a broad range of private investments, as well as the specific expertise of GDFM, provide us with a significant
competitive advantage in sourcing and analyzing attractive investment opportunities.
Long-term investment horizon. Our long-term investment horizon gives us great flexibility, which we believe allows us to maximize
returns on our investments. Unlike most private equity and venture capital funds, as well as many private debt funds, we are not required to
return capital to our stockholders once we exit a portfolio investment. We believe that freedom from such capital return requirements, which
allows us to invest using a longer-term focus, provides us with the opportunity to increase total returns on invested capital, compared to other
private company investment vehicles.
GDFM transaction sourcing capability. FB Advisor seeks to leverage GDFM's significant access to transaction flow. GDFM seeks to
generate investment opportunities through syndicate and club deals (generally, investments made by a small group of investment firms) and,
subject to regulatory constraints as discussed under "Regulation," and the allocation policies of GDFM and its affiliates, as applicable, also
through GSO's direct origination channels. These include significant contacts to participants in the credit and leveraged finance marketplace,
which it can draw upon in sourcing investment opportunities for us. With respect to syndicate and club deals, GDFM has built a network of
relationships with commercial and investment banks, finance companies and other investment funds as a result of the long track record of its
investment professionals in the leveraged finance marketplace. With respect to GDFM's origination channel, FB Advisor seeks to leverage the
global presence of GSO to generate access to a substantial amount of directly originated transactions with attractive investment characteristics.
We believe that the broad network of GDFM provides a significant pipeline of investment opportunities for us. GDFM also has a significant
trading platform, which, we believe, allows us access to the secondary market for investment opportunities.
Disciplined, income-oriented investment philosophy. FB Advisor and GDFM employ a defensive investment approach focused on long-
term credit performance and principal protection. This investment approach involves a multi-stage selection process for each investment
opportunity, as well as ongoing monitoring of each investment made, with particular emphasis on early detection of deteriorating credit
conditions at portfolio companies which would result in adverse portfolio developments. This strategy is designed to maximize current income
and minimize the risk of capital loss while maintaining the potential for long-term capital appreciation.
Investment expertise across all levels of the corporate capital structure. FB Advisor and GDFM believe that their broad expertise and
experience investing at all levels of a company's capital structure enable us to manage risk while affording us the opportunity for significant
returns on our investments. We attempt to capitalize on this expertise in an effort to produce and maintain an investment portfolio that will
perform in a broad range of economic conditions.
See "Investment Objectives and Strategy--Potential Competitive Strengths" in the accompanying prospectus for a more detailed
description of the competitive strengths we believe we offer our investors.
