FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, a partnership between FS Investments and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC (FS/KKR), today announced that FS Investment Corporation (NYSE: FSIC) and Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CCT) have entered into a definitive agreement under which FSIC and CCT will be merged. The combined company will have on a pro-forma basis over $8 billion in assets invested in 221 portfolio companies across 23 industries as of March 31, 2018. The Boards of Directors of both FSIC and CCT have approved the transaction, with the participation throughout by, and the unanimous support of, their respective independent directors.

The proposed merger is expected to provide a range of near-term and long-term benefits focused on driving shareholder returns through reduced operating expenses, enhanced portfolio diversification, lower financing costs and improved secondary market liquidity.

"Since we announced our partnership with KKR last December, we have made consistent progress across a number of initiatives designed to fully leverage the benefits of our combined platform," said Michael Forman, Chief Executive Officer of FSIC and CCT. "Today's announcement, which comes ahead of our initial timeline expectation, is an important first step in optimizing the platform and positions us to deliver strong, consistent performance for investors."

Todd Builione, President of FSIC and CCT, said, "We are excited to have entered into this mutually beneficial merger, and are confident in our ability to maximize long-term value for FSIC and CCT shareholders. We expect the combined company to have a more diversified portfolio with a more flexible capital structure that will position it well to deliver strong investment performance."

The transaction is subject to approval by FSIC and CCT shareholders and other customary closing conditions. FSIC and CCT expect to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018.
