(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

FRI, C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. do not own directly any shares of the Issuer .

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Holdco acquired the Shares for investment and to support the Issuer in its investment strategy. Franklin Global Allocation Fund acquired the Shares for investment purposes.

Except as described above, none of the investment management subsidiaries of FRI, and none of any of the other reporting persons covered by this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or any present plans or intentions to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. ("BSP"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI, serves as investment

Adviser to the Issuer. BSP holds no Shares and no Class A Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Issuer.

FRI is filing this report for itself and its affiliates, except as set forth herein. Beneficial ownership by FRI and its affiliates is being reported herein in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “1998 Release ”) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by each of FRI's affiliates whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of FRI in accordance with the 1998 Release ("FRI Disaggregated Affiliates") are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries of FRI other than FRI Disaggregated Affiliates are collectively, "FRI Aggregated Affiliates"). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates, and, on the other hand, FRI, establish informational barriers that prevent the flow among, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates (including preventing the flow between such entities), and, on the other hand, the FRI Aggregated Affiliates, of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from the FRI Aggregated Affiliates for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

CUSIP NO. 35242N202 Page 8 of 19

C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of FRI’s outstanding common stock and are the principal stockholders of FRI. The Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI. FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and FAV disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Shares reported herein. In addition, the filing of the Schedule 13D on behalf of FRI and the Principal Shareholders should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it or he is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Shares.

FRI, HoldCo, FAV, and the Principal Shareholders believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Shares held by any of them. HoldCo did not acquire more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares until October 3, 2022.

The number of Shares as to which each reporting person on this Schedule 13D has:

(i)Sole power to vote or to direct the vote of the Shares:

proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported herein.

Franklin Global Allocation Fund, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, has an interest in 1,631,755 Shares, or 19.6% of the Shares.
