Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreement

On December 13, 2016, HMS Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), HMS Adviser LP and MSC Adviser I, LLC (together, the “Advisers”) entered into a conditional income incentive fee waiver agreement (the “Fourth Quarter 2016 Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for a period from October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the Advisers could waive the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The Fourth Quarter 2016 Fee Waiver Agreement may require the Company to repay the Advisers for previously waived reimbursement of payments by HMS Adviser LP of the Company's operating expenses (“Expense Support Payments”) or waived base management fees or incentive fees under certain circumstances. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. Thus, in any quarter where a surplus exists, that surplus will be available, subject to approval of the board of directors, to reimburse waived fees and Expense Support Payments as follows:

1.
First, to reimburse Expense Support Payments, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement; and
2.
Second, to reimburse all waived fees, beginning with the earliest year eligible for reimbursement.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Quarter 2016 Fee Waiver Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Quarter 2016 Fee Waiver Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On December 13, 2016, the Company increased its public offering price from $9.05 per share to $9.10 per share. The increase in the public offering price will be effective as of the Company's December 15, 2016 weekly closing.

In accordance with the Company’s share pricing policy, its board of directors determined that an increase in the public offering price per share was warranted following an increase in the Company’s estimated net asset value per share in order to ensure that the Company's net asset value per share does not exceed its net offering price per share. As a result of the increase in the Company’s public offering price per share, the maximum combined sales commission and dealer manager fee per share and the net proceeds per share will correspondingly increase from $0.90 to $0.91 and $8.15 to $8.19, respectively.
