These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including those factors set forth in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1 Annualized distribution yield reflects the current month’s distribution per share annualized and divided by the previous month end NAV per share or market price per share; because annualized distribution yield based on NAV is based on estimated month end NAV, it is an estimate that is subject to change.

2 Total AUM estimated as of March 31, 2026. References to “assets under management” or “AUM” represent the assets managed by Future Standard or its strategic partners as to which Future Standard is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. Future Standard calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of Future Standard’s investment funds; (ii) uncalled investor capital commitments to these funds, including uncalled investor capital commitments from which Future Standard is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by Future Standard); (iv) the fair value of FS KKR Capital Corp. joint venture (JV) assets and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by Future Standard. Future Standard’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, Future Standard’s measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Future Standard’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
