Shareholders to Elect Board Members and Ratify Accounting Firm

The FS Specialty Lending Fund, formerly known as FS Energy and Power Fund, will host its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on December 12, 2024. This important meeting will be held at the company's Philadelphia office, located at 201 Rouse Boulevard. During this event, shareholders will vote on two major proposals.

First, shareholders are expected to elect six board members who will serve until the 2025 meeting. Each of these nominees is set to continue their leadership role in guiding the company’s strategic initiatives and governance.

Additionally, shareholders will vote to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Ernst & Young has played a key role in overseeing the financial auditing of the company and ensuring compliance with reporting standards.

Digital Access to Proxy Materials and Voting Options

To streamline the voting process, FS Specialty Lending Fund has implemented a system where shareholders can access proxy materials online. The company will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on or around October 18, 2024. This notice will guide shareholders on how to access the proxy statement, annual report, and voting procedures electronically. Those who prefer physical copies can request them by following the instructions in the notice.

For those unable to attend the meeting in person, FS Specialty Lending Fund has provided several convenient voting options, including online and telephone voting, ensuring broad participation in the company's governance. Shareholders are encouraged to submit their votes as early as possible to help avoid delays and reduce additional costs related to soliciting votes.

Continued Growth and Strategic Focus

FS Specialty Lending Fund continues its focus on specialty lending, seeking to provide shareholders with steady returns by strategically managing its portfolio. With strong leadership at the helm and Ernst & Young’s oversight, the company is positioned for continued growth and sound financial management heading into 2025.
