Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to stockholder proposals provides that stockholders who wish to make a proposal under the Rule must submit such proposal no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the prior year’s proxy statement release to stockholders. The 2016 proxy statement of Fifth Street Finance Corp. (the “Company”) was released to stockholders on March 11, 2016, but the date that it specified for the submission of stockholder proposals for possible inclusion in the Company’s 2017 proxy statement was inadvertently noted as November 2, 2016. That date should have read November 11, 2016. Accordingly, the Company will not assert untimeliness in respect of any Rule 14a-8 stockholder proposal received by the Company on or before November 11, 2016.
