Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A., May Recover Investor Losses – FS Investment Corporation III
FS Investment Corporation III is, according to Bloomberg, a business development company specializing investments in floating rate senior secured loans, subordinated debt and selected equity, second lien secured loans, debt investments, such as warrants or options as additional consideration, corporate bonds, unsecured loans, CLOs, and other debt securities in middle-market companies.
According to FS Investment Corporation III’s prospectus: Investing in FSIC III may be considered speculative and involves a high level of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment. The following are some of the risks an investment in FSIC III’s common stock involves; however, you should carefully consider all of the information found in the section of FSIC III’s prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” before deciding to invest in shares of FSIC III’s common stock.
- Because there is no public trading market for shares of FSIC III’s common stock and FSIC III is not obligated to effectuate a liquidity event by a specified date, if at all, it is unlikely that you will be able to sell your shares. If you are able to sell your shares before FSIC III completes a liquidity event, it is likely that you will receive less than you paid for them. While FSIC III intends to conduct quarterly tender offers for FSIC III’s shares, only a limited number of shares will be eligible for repurchase and FSIC III may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time.
- FSIC III invests in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and illiquid.
- FSIC III’s distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to FSIC III for investment. Any capital returned to stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.
- An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including lack of available information about these companies.
- Investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on FSIC III’s operating results.
- A lack of liquidity in certain of FSIC III’s investments may adversely affect its business.
- FSIC III is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, which may have a substantial negative impact on its investments.
- FSIC III has borrowed funds to make investments, which increases the volatility of its investments and may increase the risks of investing in its securities.
- FSIC III has limited operating history and is subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business.
