Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On January 14, 2013, the board of trustees (the “Board”) of FS Energy and Power Fund (the “Company”) declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions of 0.026953 per share each. Both distributions will be paid on January 31, 2013, the first to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2013 and the second to shareholders of record as of January 30, 2013.

 

Certain Information About Distributions

 

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 its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. The Company intends to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

 

The payment of future distributions on the Company’s common shares is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain certain forward-looking statements, including statements with regard to the future performance and operation of the Company.  Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “projects” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions.  Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements, and some of these factors are enumerated in the filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
