Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 12, 2017, FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund—A (the “Company”) further amended and restated its amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended DRP”). The Amended DRP will be effective as of, and will first apply to the reinvestment of cash distributions paid on or after, October 12, 2017.

Under the DRP, cash distributions to participating shareholders of the Company were reinvested in additional Shares of the Company on the date of FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund’s weekly closing occurring on or immediately following the distribution payment date.

Under the Amended DRP, cash distributions to participating shareholders of the Company will be reinvested in additional Shares of the Company at the net asset value per Common Share of the Company on the distribution payment date. The Amended DRP also consolidates the DRP with the distribution reinvestment plans of the other feeder funds of FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund. No other material terms of the DRP have been amended in connection with the Amended DRP.

The foregoing summary of the Amended DRP is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended DRP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
