As described in Proposal 12, the Original Advisory Agreement was amended to (i) reduce the annual base management fee from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity and exclude cash and cash equivalents from the gross assets on which the annual base management fee is calculated, (ii) amend the hurdle rate applicable to the Companys payment of a subordinated incentive fee on income to be based on net assets rather than adjusted capital, (iii) revise the definition of pre-incentive net investment income to exclude interest expense and dividends paid on certain shares of preferred stock, (iv) introduce a cap on subordinated incentive fees, (v) incorporate in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains the historical net realized losses and unrealized depreciation of FS Investment Corporation III (FSIC III), Corporate Capital Trust II (CCT II), and FS Investment Corporation IV (FSIC IV) in addition to the Company, (vi) implement certain other revisions to bring the investment advisory agreement of the Company in line with those of other listed business development companies, and (vii) remove all provisions related to administrative services provided by the Advisor to the Company.

There will be no separate fee paid by the Company to the Advisor in connection with the services provided under the Administration Agreement, provided, however, that the Company will reimburse the Advisor no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities thereunder. The Advisor will allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The initial term of the Administration Agreement is two years and
thereafter continues automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (a) the vote of the Companys board of directors (the Board), and (b) the vote or a majority of the Companys directors who are not parties to the Administration Agreement or interested persons (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any such party. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time by either the Company or the Advisor, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days written notice.

Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On December 18, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced mergers of FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of May 31, 2019, by and among the Company, FSIC III, FSIC IV, CCT II, NT Acquisition 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub 1), NT Acquisition 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub 2), NT Acquisition 3, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub 3), and the Advisor.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger 1A), and, immediately thereafter, FSIC III merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the Merger 1A, Merger 1), (ii) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into CCT II, with CCT II continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger 2A), and, immediately thereafter, CCT II merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the Merger 2A, Merger 2), and (iii) Merger Sub 3 merged with and into FSIC IV, with FSIC IV continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger 3A), and, immediately thereafter, FSIC IV merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the Merger 3A, Merger 3 and, together with Merger 1 and Merger 2, the Mergers).

As a result, the Company will issue an aggregate of approximately 289,084,117 shares of its common stock to former FSIC III stockholders, 14,031,781 shares of its common stock to former CCT II shareholders and 43,668,803 shares of its common stock to former FSIC IV stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Charter, as set forth in this Item 5.03, is a summary only and is qualified in all respects by the provisions of the Amended and Restated Charter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 | Regulation FD. |
On December 17, 2019, the Board declared a regular monthly cash distribution in the amount per share set forth below for December 2019. The regular monthly cash distribution will be paid on or about the payment date set forth below to stockholders of record as of the record date set forth below.
Record Date | Payment Date | Distribution Amount | ||||
December 17, 2019 | December 18, 2019 | $ | .062833 |
Certain Information About Distributions
The determination of the tax attributes of the Companys distributions is made annually as of the end of the Companys 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 stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on the Companys shares of common stock is subject to the sole 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.
The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends or other distributions paid to it 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. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.
On December 18, 2019, the Advisor issued a press release announcing, among other things, the closing of the Mergers. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
