Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by FS Investment Corporation (also referenced as FS KKR Capital Corp) for the reporting period ending December 19, 2008, with the report signed on January 6, 2009. The filing addresses corporate governance amendments and a significant milestone in the company's capital raising efforts.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard financial statements, revenue, profit, or cash flow data. The primary financial metric disclosed is the capital raised through subscriptions:
- Subscriptions Received: Approximately $2.75 million as of January 2, 2009.
- Exclusions: This amount excludes shares purchased by executive officers, directors, the dealer manager, the advisor, and their affiliates.
- Escrow Status: The subscription amount was sufficient to successfully break escrow and admit the first public investors as shareholders.
Material Changes
Two material events are reported in this filing:
- Articles of Incorporation Amendment: On December 19, 2008, the Board of Directors and shareholders amended the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. These revisions were made in response to comments from securities regulators during the "blue sky" review of the company's offering.
- Offering Milestone: As of January 2, 2009, the company achieved the threshold required to break escrow, marking the transition to admitting public investors.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or specific risk factors beyond the regulatory context. The primary contingency noted was the requirement to amend the Articles of Incorporation to satisfy state securities regulators, which was resolved on December 19, 2008.
