Item 5.05.              Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On May 6, 2020, the Board adopted an amended and restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (as amended and restated, the “Code”) that amended, restated and replaced the prior Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to the Company. The Code has been revised to reflect changes to the Company’s personal securities transactions policy (the “Personal Trading Policy”). The Personal Trading Policy was changed to require all employees to preclear all proposed trades in reportable securities. 

The amendments reflected in the Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the previous Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The foregoing description of the amendments reflected in the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.05. A copy of the Code is also publicly available in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website at: www.fsinvestments.com.
