DISCLOSURES

The performance data quoted in the podcast represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted in the podcast. lnvestment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. A Fund’s performance, especially for very short periods of time, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decisions.

Consider the investment risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. Other information about the Fund may be obtained at https://flatrockglobal.com/flat-rock-opportunity-fund/. Please read it carefully.

Risk: The Fund is suitable for investors who can bear the risks associated with the Fund’s limited liquidity and should be viewed as a long-term investment. Our shares have no history of public trading, nor is it intended that our shares will be listed on a national securities exchange at this time, if ever. No secondary market is expected to develop for our shares; liquidity for our shares will be provided only through quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of and no more than 25% of our shares at net asset value, and there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the shares that the investor desires to sell in the repurchase offer. Due to these limited restrictions, an investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity. Investing in our shares may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risks associated with leverage. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that shareholder may lose part of or all of their investment. We intend to invest primarily in the equity and, to a lesser extent, in the junior debt tranches of CLOs that own a pool of senior secured loans. Our investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs are exposed to leveraged credit risk. Investments in the lowest tranches bear the highest level of risk. We may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that are unrelated to our performance, such as a returns of capital or borrowing. The amount of distributions that we may pay, if any, is uncertain.
