Additional Information
Past performance is not indicative of future performance
.
Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and therefore,
portions of the distributions that we make may be a return of the money that investors originally invested and represent a return
of capital to investors for tax purposes. Such a return of capital is not immediately taxable, but reduces investor tax basis in
FLEX shares, which may result in higher taxes for investors even if shares are sold at a price below original investment.
This information is not, and should not
be deemed to construe, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any security. Offers will only be made through
a qualified prospectus to suitable investors and where permitted by law. BDCs involve substantial costs and investors should review
the prospectus regarding fees and expenses. There are no guarantees that investment objectives will be met.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, including statements regarding the future performance of FLEX. Words such as "believes", "expects,"
"projects", and "future" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any such
statements, other than statements of historical fact, are highly likely to be affected by unknowable future events and conditions,
including elements of the future that are or are not under the control of FLEX and that FLEX may or may not have considered; accordingly,
such statements cannot be guarantees or assurances of any aspect of future performance. Actual developments and results are highly
likely to vary materially from any forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the time when made, and FLEX undertakes
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
