Administrative setup of a $50M equity TRS; neutral cash economics.

FSCO established an equity total return swap on FSSL shares, capping exposure at up to $50,000,000 over a three-year term. The structure synthetically mirrors ownership: FSCO receives dividends on the reference shares and owes a floating financing leg pegged to 250 basis points plus USD overnight bank funding rate.

Collateralization at 70% of the reference value, reset daily, limits counterparty risk but ties liquidity to market moves. The Equity Notional Amount is defined at initiation price levels, anchoring the financing charge base.

The adviser waives fees on income from the TRS, which avoids layering costs. Actual impact depends on FSSL share performance and rate levels; activity could change if early termination provisions are triggered as allowed in the agreement.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 13, 2025, FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a share swap confirmation with Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. (the “TRS Counterparty”) governing an equity total return swap (the “Equity TRS”) for common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) of FS Specialty Lending Fund (“FSSL”). FS Global Advisor, LLC, the investment adviser to the Company (the “Adviser”) is wholly-owned by the owner of the investment adviser of FSSL. The Equity TRS enables the Company to obtain the economic benefit of owning up to $50 million of Shares in return for an interest-type payment to the TRS Counterparty. The Equity TRS has a term of three years, but may be terminated earlier in whole or in part following the occurrence of certain prescribed events agreed to between the TRS Counterparty and the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity TRS, the Company will post as collateral in favor of the TRS Counterparty the independent amount (“Independent Amount”) equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to the Equity TRS and (y) (i) the initial price of such Shares (with respect to the trade date) or (ii) the closing price per Share on the exchange (with respect to any other day) and (z) 70%. The Independent Amount will be reset every day on which the exchange on which the Shares are traded is open for trading.

Under the Equity TRS, the Company will receive from the TRS Counterparty cash dividends in respect of the Shares subject to the Equity TRS, where the date that the Shares commence trading ex-dividend occurs during the relevant Dividend Period (and the dividends will never exceed the amount actually paid by FSSL). The Dividend Period will be each period from, but excluding, one valuation date to, and including, the next valuation date, except that the initial Dividend Period will commence on but exclude the trade date and the final Dividend Period will end on and include the final valuation date.

In addition, pursuant to the Equity TRS, the Company will pay the TRS Counterparty on a monthly basis a floating amount equal to the product of (i) the Equity Notional Amount multiplied by (ii) 250 basis points plus USD overnight bank funding rate per annum, using a day count fraction of actual divided by 360. The Equity Notional Amount means the number of Shares subject to the Equity TRS multiplied by the initial price of such Shares.

The Adviser will not receive fees under the Company’s investment advisory agreement with respect to income received by the Company under the Equity TRS.
