FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. Announces Postponement of 2020 Annual

Meeting of Stockholders

PHILADELPHIA – June 5, 2020 – FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust, Inc (FS Credit REIT) announced today that the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting) has been postponed from June 11, 2020 to July 14, 2020 at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, due to COVID-19 (more commonly known as the Coronavirus). FSCREIT’s first priority is to protect the health and safety of its stakeholders.

FS Credit REIT intends to hold the Annual Meeting in person, as previously announced, at 201 Rouse Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19112. However, FS Credit REIT is sensitive to the public health and travel concerns its stockholders may have and recommendations that public health officials may issue in light of the evolving COVID-19 situation. As a result, FS Credit REIT may decide to hold the Annual Meeting by means of remote communication. In that event, FS Credit REIT will announce the decision to do so in advance of the Annual Meeting, and details on how to participate will be set forth in a press release issued by the Company and available at www.fsinvestments.com/FSCREITProxy. Stockholders will only be able to participate in the Annual Meeting electronically if FS Credit REIT decides to hold a virtual meeting, instead of holding an in-person meeting in Philadelphia, PA.
