Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their 2020 Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer Documents will be eligible to receive in cash the Notes Consideration.

Holders who validly tender their 2020 Notes may validly withdraw their tendered 2020 Notes at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Time and (ii) if the Tender Offer is extended, the 10th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer. Notes may also be validly withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer if for any reason the Tender Offer has not been consummated by that date. The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the successful completion by FSK of an offering (the "Offering") of new senior notes on terms satisfactory to FSK in its sole discretion, generating net proceeds in an amount that is sufficient to effect the repurchase of the 2020 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer and the redemption, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2020 Notes, of all 2020 Notes remaining outstanding after the Tender Offer, including the payment of any accrued interest and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing. FSK reserves the right to amend or waive any of the conditions of the Tender Offer, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, in its sole discretion. 

FSK today also issued a notice of redemption providing for the redemption of the 2020 Notes in full. Any 2020 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer will be redeemed in connection with the Redemption. The Redemption is not conditioned upon any other circumstance or event. The redemption date for the 2020 Notes will be December 16, 2019 (the "Redemption Date"). The redemption price for the 2020 Notes will be 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
