THE COMPANY

Overview

Ares Capital, a Maryland corporation, is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company, or a "BDC," under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or the "Investment Company Act." We were founded on April 16, 2004, were initially funded on June 23, 2004 and completed our initial public offering on October 8, 2004. As of March 31, 2016, we were the largest BDC with approximately $9.4 billion of total assets.

We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, a subsidiary of Ares Management, a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager. Our administrator, Ares Operations, a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.

As discussed in "Recent Developments" below, on May 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") under which we have agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, to acquire American Capital, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("American Capital"), in a cash and stock transaction, which we refer to as the "American Capital Acquisition." We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition, "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, where we believe the supply of primary capital is limited and the investment opportunities are most attractive. However,

1

we may from time to time invest in larger or smaller (in particular, for investments in early stage and/or venture capital-backed) companies. We generally use the term "middle-market" to refer to companies with annual EBITDA between $10 million and $250 million. As used herein, EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. First and second lien senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt of a given portfolio company. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. Our investments in corporate borrowers generally range between $30 million and $500 million each, investments in project finance/power generation projects generally range between $10 million and $200 million each and investments in early-stage and/or venture capital-backed companies generally range between $1 million and $25 million each. However, the investment sizes may be more or less than these ranges and may vary based on, among other things, our capital availability, the composition of our portfolio and general micro- and macro-economic factors.

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

The proportion of these types of investments will change over time given our views on, among other things, the economic and credit environment in which we are operating. In connection with our investing activities, we may make commitments with respect to indebtedness or securities of a potential portfolio company substantially in excess of our final investment. In such situations, while we may initially agree to fund up to a certain dollar amount of an investment, we may subsequently syndicate or sell a portion of such amount (including, without limitation, to vehicles managed by our portfolio company, Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. ("IHAM")), such that we are left with a smaller investment than what was reflected in our original commitment. In addition to originating investments, we may also acquire investments in the secondary market (including purchases of a portfolio of investments).

The first and second lien senior secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to 10 years and the mezzanine debt investments in which we invest generally have stated terms of up to 10 years, but the expected average life of such first and second lien loans and mezzanine debt is generally between three and seven years. However, we may invest in loans and securities with any maturity or duration. The instruments in which we invest typically are not rated by any rating agency, but we believe that if such instruments were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than "Baa3" by Moody's Investors Service, lower than "BBB–" by Fitch Ratings or lower than "BBB–" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services), which, under the guidelines established by these entities, is an indication of having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Bonds that are rated below investment grade are sometimes referred to as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds." We may invest without limit in debt or other securities of any rating, as well as debt or other securities that have not been rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

We believe that our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, is able to leverage the current investment platform, resources and existing relationships of Ares Management with financial sponsors, financial institutions, hedge funds and other investment firms to provide us with attractive investment opportunities. In addition to deal flow, the Ares investment platform assists our investment adviser in analyzing, structuring and monitoring investments. Ares has been in existence for over 15 years and its partners have an average of over 24 years of experience in leveraged finance, private equity, distressed debt, commercial real estate finance, investment banking and capital markets. We

2

have access to Ares' investment professionals and administrative professionals, who provide assistance in accounting, finance, legal, compliance, operations, information technology and investor relations. As of March 31, 2016, Ares had approximately 340 investment professionals and approximately 525 administrative professionals.

While our primary focus is to generate current income and capital appreciation through investments in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity securities of eligible portfolio companies, we also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. See "Regulation." Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the SEC (the "Staff") informally communicated to certain BDCs the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under the Investment Company Act) (i.e., not eligible to be included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the SEC issued a concept release (the "Concept Release") which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company." We provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continue to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, we have, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of our portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SDLP (as defined below) and the SSLP (as defined below), as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with our position.

Co-Investment Programs

Senior Direct Lending Program

In December 2015, we established a joint venture with Varagon Capital Partners ("Varagon") to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and other partners. The joint venture is called the Senior Direct Lending Program (the "SDLP"). It is expected that the SDLP will commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. We may directly co-invest with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. We will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SDLP Certificates"), and Varagon and its clients will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. It is expected that we and Varagon will own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of any outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of March 31, 2016, we and Varagon have agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $2.9 billion in the aggregate, of which no amounts were funded. The SDLP will be capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of ours

3

and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required). As of March 31, 2016, we agreed to make available to the SDLP (subject to the approval of the investment committee of the SDLP as described above) approximately $591 million, of which no amounts were committed or funded. The SDLP Certificates will pay a coupon of LIBOR plus a stated spread and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

Senior Secured Loan Program

The Company and General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") and GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC (collectively, "GE") have co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies through an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (d/b/a "the Senior Secured Loan Program") or the SSLP (the "SSLP"). The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). We have provided capital to the SSLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SSLP Certificates").

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with us in the SSLP, to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"). This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and the Company and GE continue to operate the SSLP. The Company and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, the Company and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments (see below) and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, we were advised that GECC, as the holder of the senior notes of the SSLP (the "Senior Notes"), directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes us). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide the Company and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between us and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. We have been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, we are also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that we will pursue any of them.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company and GE had funded approximately $7.6 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. As discussed above, we anticipate that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that the Company and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, the SSLP had commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $145.4 million, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above. As of March 31, 2016, we had funded approximately $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. Additionally, as of March 31, 2016, we had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our

4

portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $23.6 million. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the SSLP Certificates held by us was $1.9 billion at fair value (including unrealized depreciation of $48.7 million), which represented approximately 21% of our total portfolio at fair value. As of March 31, 2016, the SSLP had 38 different underlying borrowers. For more information on the SSLP, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Portfolio and Investment Activity—Senior Secured Loan Program."

Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P.

As of March 31, 2016, our portfolio company, IHAM, an SEC-registered investment adviser, managed 16 vehicles and served as the sub-manager/sub-servicer for three other vehicles (such vehicles, the "IHAM Vehicles"). As of March 31, 2016, IHAM had assets under management of approximately $3.6 billion. As of March 31, 2016, Ares Capital had invested approximately $171.0 million (at amortized cost) in IHAM. In connection with IHAM's registration as a registered investment adviser, on March 30, 2012, we received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to, subject to certain conditions, own directly or indirectly up to 100% of IHAM's outstanding equity interests and make additional investments in IHAM. From time to time, IHAM or certain IHAM Vehicles may purchase investments from us or sell investments to us, in each case for a price equal to the fair market value of such investments determined at the time of such transactions. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 for more information about IHAM.

Ares Capital Management LLC

Ares Capital Management, our investment adviser, is served by an origination, investment and portfolio management team of approximately 80 U.S.-based investment professionals as of March 31, 2016 and led by certain partners of the Ares Credit Group: Michael Arougheti, Kipp deVeer, Mitchell Goldstein and Michael Smith. Ares Capital Management leverages off of Ares' investment platform and benefits from the significant capital markets, trading and research expertise of Ares' investment professionals. Ares Capital Management's investment committee has 12 members comprised of certain of the U.S.-based partners of the Ares Credit Group and certain partners in the Ares Private Equity Group.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

We believe that current market conditions present attractive opportunities for us to invest in middle-market companies, specifically:

•
  We believe that many commercial and investment banks have, in recent years, de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle-market businesses in favor of lending to large corporate clients and managing capital markets transactions. In addition, these lenders may be constrained in their ability to underwrite and hold bank loans and high yield securities for middle-market issuers as they seek to meet existing and future regulatory capital requirements. These factors may result in opportunities for alternative funding sources to middle-market companies and therefore more new-issue market opportunities for us.
•
  We believe that the disruption and volatility in the credit markets between 2008 and 2009 reduced capital available to certain specialty finance companies and other capital providers, causing a reduction in competition. While market conditions have largely recovered from the events of 2008 and 2009, there have been continuing periods of volatility, some lasting

5

longer than others. These market conditions may continue to create opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns.

•
  We believe that there is a lack of market participants that are willing to hold meaningful amounts of certain middle-market loans. As a result, we believe our ability to minimize syndication risk for a company seeking financing by being able to hold our loans without having to syndicate them is a competitive advantage.
•
  We believe that middle-market companies have faced difficulty in raising debt through the capital markets. This approach to financing may become more difficult to the extent institutional investors seek to invest in larger, more liquid offerings, leaving less competition and fewer financing alternatives for middle-market companies.
•
  We believe there is a large pool of un-invested private equity capital for middle-market businesses. We expect private equity firms will seek to leverage their investments by combining equity capital with senior secured loans and mezzanine debt from other sources such as us.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

We believe that we have the following competitive advantages over other capital providers to middle-market companies:

The Ares Platform

Ares operates three distinct but complementary investment groups, including the Ares Credit Group, the Ares Private Equity Group and the Ares Real Estate Group. We believe Ares' current investment platform provides a competitive advantage in terms of access to origination and marketing activities and diligence for us. In particular, we believe that the Ares platform provides us with an advantage through its deal flow generation and investment evaluation process. Ares' asset management platform also provides additional market information, company knowledge and industry insight that benefit our investment and due diligence process. Ares' professionals maintain extensive financial sponsor and intermediary relationships, which provide valuable insight and access to transactions and information.

Seasoned Management Team

The investment professionals in the Ares Credit Group and members of our investment adviser's investment committee also have significant experience investing across market cycles. This experience also provides us with a competitive advantage in identifying, originating, investing in and managing a portfolio of investments in middle-market companies.

Broad Origination Strategy

We focus on self-originating most of our investments by pursuing a broad array of investment opportunities in middle-market companies, venture capital backed businesses and power generation projects across multiple channels. We also leverage off of the extensive relationships of the broader Ares platform, including relationships with the portfolio companies in the IHAM Vehicles, to identify investment opportunities. We believe that this allows for asset selectivity and that there is a significant relationship between proprietary deal origination and credit performance. We believe that our focus on generating proprietary deal flow and lead investing also gives us greater control over capital structure, deal terms, pricing and documentation and enables us to actively manage our portfolio investments. Moreover, by leading the investment process, we are often able to secure controlling positions in credit tranches, thereby providing additional control in investment outcomes. We also have originated

6

substantial proprietary deal flow from middle-market intermediaries, which often allows us to act as the sole or principal source of institutional capital to the borrower.

Scale and Flexible Transaction Structuring

We believe that being one of the largest BDCs makes us a more desirable and flexible capital provider, especially in competitive markets. We are flexible with the types of investments we make and the terms associated with those investments. We believe this approach and experience enables our investment adviser to identify attractive investment opportunities throughout economic cycles and across a company's capital structure so we can make investments consistent with our stated investment objective and preserve principal while seeking appropriate risk adjusted returns. In addition, we have the flexibility to provide "one stop" financing with the ability to invest capital across the balance sheet and syndicate and hold larger investments than many of our competitors. We believe that the ability to underwrite, syndicate and hold larger investments benefits our stockholders by (a) potentially increasing net income and earnings through syndication, (b) increasing originated deal flow flexibility, (c) broadening market relationships and deal flow, (d) allowing us to optimize our portfolio composition and (e) allowing us to provide capital to a broader spectrum of middle-market companies, which we believe currently have limited access to capital from traditional lending sources. In addition, we believe that the ability to provide capital at every level of the balance sheet provides a strong value proposition to middle-market borrowers and our senior debt capabilities provide superior deal origination and relative value analysis capabilities compared to traditional "mezzanine only" lenders.

Experience with and Focus on Middle-Market Companies

Ares has historically focused on investments in middle-market companies and we benefit from this experience. In sourcing and analyzing deals, our investment adviser benefits from Ares' extensive network of relationships focused on middle-market companies, including management teams, members of the investment banking community, private equity groups and other investment firms with whom Ares has had long-term relationships. We believe this network enables us to identify well-positioned prospective portfolio company investments. The Ares Credit Group works closely with Ares' other investment professionals. As of March 31, 2016, Ares oversaw a portfolio of investments in approximately 1,000 companies, approximately 495 structured assets and approximately 155 properties across over 50 industries, which provides access to an extensive network of relationships and insights into industry trends and the state of the capital markets.

Disciplined Investment Philosophy

In making its investment decisions, our investment adviser has adopted Ares' long-standing, consistent, credit-based investment approach that was developed over 15 years ago by its founders. Specifically, our investment adviser's investment philosophy, portfolio construction and portfolio management involve an assessment of the overall macroeconomic environment and financial markets and company-specific research and analysis. Its investment approach emphasizes capital preservation, low volatility and minimization of downside risk. In addition to engaging in extensive due diligence from the perspective of a long-term investor, our investment adviser's approach seeks to reduce risk in investments by focusing on:

•

Extensive Industry Focus

We seek to concentrate our investing activities in industries with a history of predictable and dependable cash flows and in which the Ares investment professionals have had extensive investment experience. Ares investment professionals have developed long-term relationships with management teams and management consultants in over 50 industries, and have accumulated substantial information and identified potential trends within these industries. In turn, we benefit from these relationships, information and identification of potential trends in making investments.

OPERATING AND REGULATORY STRUCTURE

Our investment activities are managed by our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, which is a subsidiary of Ares, and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of Ares and its affiliates. Ares Capital Management is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the "Advisers Act." Under our Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with Ares Capital Management, referred to herein as our "investment advisory and management agreement," we have agreed to pay Ares Capital Management base management fees based on our total assets, as defined under the Investment Company Act (other than cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) ("base management fees"), fees based on our net investment income ("income based fees") and fees based on our net capital gains ("capital gains incentive fees"). See "Management—Investment Advisory and Management Agreement." Ares Operations provides us with certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate pursuant to an Amended and Restated Administration Agreement, referred to herein as our "administration agreement." See "Management—Administration Agreement."

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For example, we are not generally permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which a fund managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates (other than us and our downstream affiliates) currently has an investment. However, we may co-invest with funds managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of co-investment transactions would only be permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, for which we have applied. Any such order will be subject to certain terms and conditions. Further there is no assurance that this application for exemptive relief will be granted by the SEC.

Also, while we may borrow funds to make investments, our ability to use debt is limited in certain significant aspects. See "Business—Operating and Regulatory Structure" and "Regulation." In particular, BDCs must have at least 200% asset coverage calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act (i.e., we are permitted to borrow one dollar for every dollar we have in assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities issued by us) in order to incur debt or issue preferred stock (which we refer to collectively as "senior securities"), which requires us to finance our investments with at least as much equity as senior securities in the aggregate. Certain of our credit facilities also require that we maintain asset coverage of at least 200%.

In addition, as a consequence of us being a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our asset growth is dependent on our ability to raise equity capital through the issuance of common stock. RICs generally must distribute substantially all of their investment company taxable income (as defined under the Code) to stockholders as dividends in order to preserve their status as a RIC and not be subject to additional U.S. federal corporate-level taxes. This requirement, in turn, generally prevents us

8

from using our earnings to support our operations, including making new investments. See "Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES

We believe the recent volatility in the credit markets has increased the likelihood of further consolidation in our industry. To that end, we are evaluating (and expect to continue to evaluate in the future) a number of potential strategic opportunities, including acquisitions of:

•
  asset portfolios;
•
  other private and public finance companies, business development companies and asset managers; and
•
  selected secondary market assets.

In this regard, on May 23, 2016 we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital in a cash and stock transaction. See "Recent Developments—American Capital Acquisition" for more information.

We have been in, and from time to time may engage in, discussions with counterparties in respect of various potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions, including potential acquisitions of other finance companies, business development companies and asset managers. Some of these transactions could be material to our business and, if completed, could be difficult to integrate, result in increased leverage or dilution and/or subject us to unexpected liabilities. However, other than in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, none of these discussions has progressed to the point at which the completion of any such transaction could be deemed to be probable or reasonably certain as of the date of this prospectus. Completion of any such transaction would be subject to completion of due diligence, finalization of key business and financial terms (including price) and negotiation of final definitive documentation as well as a number of other factors and conditions including, without limitation, the approval of our board of directors, any required third party consents and, in certain cases, the approval of our stockholders. We cannot predict how quickly the terms of any such transaction could be finalized, if at all. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such transaction would be completed. In connection with evaluating potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions, we have, and may in the future, incur significant expenses for the evaluation and due diligence investigation of these potential transactions.

INDEBTEDNESS

As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately $4.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of total outstanding indebtedness, approximately $2.7 billion aggregate principal amount of which was unsecured indebtedness of Ares Capital, approximately $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of which was secured indebtedness at the Ares Capital level and approximately $0.2 billion aggregate principal amount of which was secured indebtedness of our consolidated subsidiaries.

For more information on the Company's debt, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

American Capital Acquisition

On May 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital in a cash and stock transaction. American Capital is an internally managed closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act.

9

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, two mergers will occur in the American Capital Acquisition: (i) Orion Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub"), will merge with and into American Capital, with American Capital remaining as the surviving entity in such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger") and (ii) American Capital Asset Management, LLC, a wholly owned portfolio company of American Capital ("ACAM"), will merge with and into IHAM, with IHAM remaining as the surviving entity in such merger (the "ACAM Merger" and together with the Merger, the "Mergers"). Immediately following the Mergers, American Capital will convert into a Delaware limited liability company and withdraw its election as a BDC.

If the American Capital Acquisition is completed, the diversification of our investment portfolio is expected to increase by both issuer and industry, with our largest investment (our investment in subordinated certificates of the SSLP) declining from approximately 21% of our total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2016 to approximately 16% of the combined company's total investment portfolio at fair value on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2016. Pro forma for the American Capital Acquisition, no other single portfolio company investment would represent greater than 5% of the combined company's total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2016. Pro forma for the American Capital Acquisition as of March 31, 2016, our percentage of investments in (i) first lien senior secured loans would decrease from approximately 29% of our investments at fair value to approximately 27% of the combined company's investments at fair value, (ii) second lien senior secured loans would remain unchanged from approximately 31% of our investments at fair value to approximately 31% of the combined company's investments at fair value, (iii) subordinated certificates of the SSLP would decrease from approximately 21% of our investments at fair value to approximately 16% of the combined company's investments at fair value, (iv) senior subordinated debt would remain unchanged from approximately 8% of our investments at fair value to approximately 8% of the combined company's investments at fair value, (v) preferred equity would remain unchanged from approximately 4% of our investments at fair value to approximately 4% of the combined company's investments at fair value and (vi) other equity and other investments would increase from 7% of our investments at fair value to approximately 14% of the combined company's investments at fair value.

Assuming the American Capital Acquisition was completed as of March 31, 2016, the combined company would have on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2016 (i) more than $12.5 billion of total assets, (ii) total liabilities of more than $5.7 billion, and (iii) a net asset value per share of $15.92. The information presented in this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate what the future assets, liabilities, net asset value or asset mix of the combined company will be following the American Capital Acquisition. This pro forma information does not include adjustments to reflect any cost savings or other operational efficiencies that may be realized as a result of the American Capital Acquisition or any future restructuring or integration expenses related to the American Capital Acquisition. Additionally, this pro forma information does not include any estimated net increase (decrease) in stockholders' equity resulting from operations or other asset sales and repayments that are not already reflected that may occur between March 31, 2016 and the completion of the American Capital Acquisition. The foregoing information should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the corresponding notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed at all, we expect to complete the American Capital Acquisition as early as the fourth quarter of 2016. The completion of the American Capital Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, American Capital stockholder approval, Ares Capital stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, receipt of certain third party consents and other customary closing conditions.

10

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a more detailed description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition, "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, we entered into an agreement with our investment adviser, dated May 23, 2016, pursuant to which our investment adviser will (i) provide $275 million of cash consideration payable to American Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing and (ii) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under our investment advisory and management agreement.

Other Recent Developments

In April 2016, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) that, among other things, (a) extended the expiration of the revolving period for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2019 to May 4, 2020, during which period we, subject to certain conditions, may make borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, (b) extended the stated maturity date for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2020 to May 4, 2021, (c) permitted certain lenders electing not to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $70 million to remain subject to the existing revolving period and stated maturity in respect of their non-extending commitments, and (d) modified the debt and lien provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) expand the types of additional debt that may be secured by certain assets of ours on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, and (ii) increase the amount of additional secured debt permitted to be incurred by us, subject to certain conditions. The size of the Revolving Credit Facility is $1.265 billion following the amendment and restatement thereof. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an "accordion" feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility by an amount up to $632.5 million.

In April 2016, our board of directors authorized an extension of our stock repurchase program through February 28, 2017. Our stock repurchase program was set to expire on September 30, 2016. Under the stock repurchase program, we were able to repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that met certain thresholds below the net asset value per share of our common stock, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases were determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. As of March 31, 2016, we had repurchased a total of 514,677 shares of our common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since its inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $92.8 million available for additional repurchases under the program. In May 2016, in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, we suspended our stock repurchase program pending the completion of the Merger Agreement.

In June 2016, we repaid in full the $230 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the June 2016 Convertible Notes (as defined below) upon their maturity. We used amounts available under our revolving credit facilities to repay the June 2016 Convertible Notes.

11

In June 2016, we, our investment adviser, Ares Venture Finance GP LLC and AVF LP (as defined below) received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to modify the asset coverage requirements to exclude the SBA Debentures (as defined below) from this calculation. As such, our ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 200%. This exemptive relief provides us with increased investment flexibility but also increases our risk related to leverage.

From April 1, 2016 through April 27, 2016, we made new investment commitments of approximately $123 million, of which $123 million were funded. Of these new commitments, 69% were in second lien senior secured loans, 29% were in senior subordinated loans and 2% were in other equity securities. Of the approximately $123 million of new investment commitments, 69% were floating rate, 29% were fixed rate and 2% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 11.5%. We may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

From April 1, 2016 through April 27, 2016, we exited approximately $335 million of investment commitments. Of these investment commitments, 61% were second lien senior secured loans, 29% were first lien senior secured loans, 7% were senior subordinated loans and 3% were other equity securities. Of the approximately $335 million of exited investment commitments, 88% were floating rate, 9% were fixed rate and 3% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 9.7%. On the approximately $335 million of investment commitments exited from April 1, 2016 through April 27, 2016, we recognized total net realized gains of approximately $23 million.

In addition, as of April 27, 2016, we had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $260 million and $210 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by our investment adviser's investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore we believe are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment have been issued. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, we may sell all or a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any of these investments or that we will sell all or any portion of these investments.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in Ares Capital involves risks. The following is a summary of the principal risks that you should carefully consider before investing in our debt securities. In addition, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 22 for a more detailed discussion of the principal risks as well as certain other risks you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our debt securities.

•
  The capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on our business and operations.
•
  Uncertainty about the financial stability of the United States, China and several countries in the European Union (EU) could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•
  Our shares of common stock have traded at a discount from net asset value and may do so again, which could limit our ability to raise additional equity capital.
•
  Our ability to grow depends on our ability to raise capital.

12

•
  A failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC would significantly reduce our operating flexibility and a failure to maintain our status as a RIC may subject us to additional corporate-level income taxes.
•
  We are dependent upon certain key personnel of Ares for our future success and upon their access to other Ares investment professionals.
•
  We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested, subjects us to certain covenants with which we must comply and may increase the risk of investing with us.
•
  We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.
•
  We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.
•
  Most of our portfolio investments are not publicly traded and, as a result, the fair value of these investments may not be readily determinable. Additionally, to the extent that we need liquidity and need to sell assets, the lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
•
  Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if a significant investment fails to perform as expected.
•
  There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could impact our investment returns.
•
  Declines in market prices and liquidity in the corporate debt markets can result in significant net unrealized depreciation of our portfolio, which in turn would reduce our net asset value.
•
  Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.
•
  Our investments, which are primarily in middle-market companies, may be risky and we could lose all or part of our investment.
•
  Our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged.
•
  Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in our debt securities.
•
  We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition.
•
  Completion of the American Capital Acquisition will cause immediate dilution to our stockholders' voting interests in us and may cause immediate dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock.
•
  We may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the American Capital Acquisition, including estimated cost savings and synergies, or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.
•
  Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact us and, under certain circumstances, the Company and American Capital are obligated to pay each other a termination fee upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

OFFERINGS

We may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings or series, up to $1,000,000,000 of our debt securities on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We will offer our debt securities at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more supplements to this prospectus.

We may offer our debt securities directly to one or more purchasers, through agents that we designate from time to time or to or through underwriters or dealers. The prospectus supplement relating to each offering will identify any agents or underwriters involved in the sale of our debt securities, and will set forth any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between us and our agents or underwriters or among our underwriters or the basis upon which such amount may be calculated. See "Plan of Distribution." We may not sell any of our debt securities through agents, underwriters or dealers without delivery of a prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of our debt securities.

Set forth below is additional information regarding offerings of our debt securities:

Use of proceeds |  | Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our debt securities for general corporate purposes, which include, among other things, (a) investing in portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective and (b) repaying indebtedness. Each supplement to this prospectus relating to an offering will more fully identify the use of the proceeds from such offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
Leverage |  | We borrow funds to make additional investments.

See "Risk Factors," "Senior Securities" and "Regulation—Indebtedness and Senior Securities." With certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing. The amount of leverage that we employ at any particular time will depend on our investment adviser's and our board of directors' assessments of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before you decide whether to make an investment in our debt securities. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price, if any, of our debt securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

The capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on our business and operations.

From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, between 2008 and 2009, the global capital markets were unstable as evidenced by periodic disruptions in liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions. Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. While market conditions have largely recovered from the events of 2008 and 2009, there have been continuing periods of volatility, some lasting longer than others. For example, beginning in the latter half of 2015 and continuing into 2016, economic uncertainty and market volatility in China and geopolitical unrest in the Middle East, combined with continued volatility of oil prices, among other factors, have caused disruption in the capital markets, including the markets in which we participate. In addition, the referendum by British voters to exit the European Union ("E.U.") ("Brexit") in June 2016 has led to further disruption and instability in the global markets. There can be no assurance these market conditions will not continue or worsen in the future.

Equity capital may be difficult to raise during periods of adverse or volatile market conditions because, subject to some limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than net asset value without first obtaining approval for such issuance from our stockholders and our independent directors. We generally seek approval from our stockholders so that we have the flexibility to issue up to 25% of our then outstanding shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value. Pursuant to approval granted at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 12, 2016, we currently are permitted to sell or otherwise issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value, subject to certain limitations and determinations that must be made by our board of directors. Such stockholder approval expires on May 12, 2017.

Volatility and dislocation in the capital markets can also create a challenging environment in which to raise or access debt capital. The reappearance of market conditions similar to those experienced from 2008 through 2009 for any substantial length of time could make it difficult to extend the maturity of or refinance our existing indebtedness or obtain new indebtedness with similar terms and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. The debt capital that will be available to us in the future, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions than what we currently experience. If we are unable to raise or refinance debt, then our equity investors may not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity resulting from

22

leverage and we may be limited in our ability to make new commitments or to fund existing commitments to our portfolio companies.

Significant changes or volatility in the capital markets may also have a negative effect on the valuations of our investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of our investment activity and the potential for liquidity events involving our investments. Thus, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments to access capital if required, and as a result, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our investments if we were required to sell them for liquidity purposes. An inability to raise or access capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Uncertainty about the financial stability of the United States, China and several countries in the E.U. could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to federal budget deficit concerns, S&P downgraded the federal government's credit rating from AAA to AA+ for the first time in history on August 5, 2011. Further, Moody's and Fitch had warned that they may downgrade the federal government's credit rating. Further downgrades or warnings by S&P or other rating agencies, and the United States government's credit and deficit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact both the perception of credit risk associated with our debt portfolio and our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, a decreased U.S. government credit rating could create broader financial turmoil and uncertainty, which may weigh heavily on our financial performance and the value of our common stock.

In 2010, a financial crisis emerged in Europe, triggered by high budget deficits and rising direct and contingent sovereign debt in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which created concerns about the ability of these nations to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. While the financial stability of many of such countries has improved significantly, risks resulting from any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar crisis could have a detrimental impact on the global economic recovery, sovereign and non-sovereign debt in these countries and the financial condition of European financial institutions. In July and August 2015, Greece reached agreements with its international creditors for bailouts that provide aid in exchange for austerity terms that had previously been rejected by Greek voters. Market and economic disruptions have affected, and may in the future affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt and home prices, among other factors. We cannot assure you that market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, will not impact the global economy, and we cannot assure you that assistance packages will be available, or if available, be sufficient to stabilize countries and markets in Europe or elsewhere affected by a financial crisis. To the extent uncertainty regarding any economic recovery in Europe negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected.

In the second quarter of 2015, stock prices in China experienced a significant drop, resulting primarily from continued sell-off of shares trading in Chinese markets. In addition, in August 2015, Chinese authorities sharply devalued China's currency. Since then, the Chinese capital markets have continued to experience periods of instability. In June 2016, British voters passed a referendum to exit the E.U. leading to heightened volatility in global markets and foreign currencies. These market and economic disruptions have affected, and may in the future affect, the U.S. capital markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

23

In October 2014, the Federal Reserve announced that it was concluding its bond-buying program, or quantitative easing, which was designed to stimulate the economy and expand the Federal Reserve's holdings of long-term securities, suggesting that key economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate, had showed signs of improvement since the inception of the program. It is unclear what effect, if any, the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program will have on the value of our investments. Additionally, in December 2015, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate. These developments, along with the United States government's credit and deficit concerns, the European sovereign debt crisis and the economic slowdown in China, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms.

A failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC would significantly reduce our operating flexibility.

If we fail to maintain our status as a BDC, we might be regulated as a closed-end investment company that is required to register under the Investment Company Act, which would subject us to additional regulatory restrictions and significantly decrease our operating flexibility. In addition, any such failure could cause an event of default under our outstanding indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are dependent upon certain key personnel of Ares for our future success and upon their access to other Ares investment professionals.

We depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of certain key personnel of the Ares Credit Group. We also depend, to a significant extent, on access to the investment professionals of other groups within Ares and the information and deal flow generated by Ares' investment professionals in the course of their investment and portfolio management activities. Our future success depends on the continued service of certain key personnel of the Ares Credit Group. The departure of any of these individuals, or of a significant number of the investment professionals or partners of Ares, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that Ares Capital Management will remain our investment adviser or that we will continue to have access to Ares' investment professionals or its information and deal flow. Further, there can be no assurance that Ares Capital will replicate its own or Ares' historical success, and we caution you that our investment returns could be substantially lower than the returns achieved by other Ares-managed funds.

Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to manage future growth effectively.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective depends on our ability to acquire suitable investments and monitor and administer those investments, which depends, in turn, on our investment adviser's ability to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria.

Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of the structuring of our investment process and the ability of our investment adviser to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to us. Our executive officers and the members of our investment adviser's investment committee have substantial responsibilities in connection with their roles at Ares and with the other Ares funds, as well as responsibilities under the investment advisory and management agreement. They may also be called upon to provide significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. These demands on their time, which will increase as the number of investments grow, may distract them or slow the rate of investment. In order to grow, Ares will need to hire, train, supervise, manage and retain new employees. However, we cannot assure you that Ares will be able to do so

24

effectively. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, as we grow, we may open up new offices in new geographic regions that may increase our direct operating expenses without corresponding revenue growth.

Our ability to grow depends on our ability to raise capital.

We will need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments in excess of our repayments, and we may also need to access the capital markets to refinance existing debt obligations to the extent such maturing obligations are not repaid with availability under our revolving credit facilities or cash flows from operations. We have elected to be treated as a RIC and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax treatment applicable to RICs. Among other things, in order to maintain our RIC status, we must distribute to our stockholders on a timely basis generally an amount equal to at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, and, as a result, such distributions will not be available to fund investment originations or repay maturing debt. We must continue to borrow from financial institutions and issue additional securities to fund our growth. Unfavorable economic or capital market conditions may increase our funding costs or limit our access to the capital markets, or could result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. An inability to successfully access the capital markets may limit our ability to refinance our existing debt obligations as they become due and/or to fully execute our business strategy and could limit our ability to grow or cause us to have to shrink the size of our business, which could decrease our earnings, if any.

In addition, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts or issue senior securities, such that our asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing, which, in certain circumstances, may restrict our ability to borrow or issue debt securities or preferred stock. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our investment adviser's and our board of directors' assessments of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing or issuance of senior securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Funding Facility and the SMBC Funding Facility (each as defined below and together, the "Facilities"), obtain other lines of credit or issue senior securities at all or on terms acceptable to us.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.

We may issue senior securities or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, up to the maximum amount permitted by the Investment Company Act. Under the provisions of the Investment Company Act, we are permitted, as a BDC, to incur indebtedness or issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, equals at least 200% after each such incurrence or issuance. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test, which may prohibit us from paying dividends and could prevent us from maintaining our status as a RIC or may prohibit us from repurchasing shares of our common stock. In addition, our inability to satisfy this test could cause an event of default under our existing indebtedness. If we cannot satisfy this test, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness. Accordingly, any failure to satisfy this test could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. As of March 31, 2016, our asset coverage calculated in accordance with the Investment Company Act was 226%. Also, to generate cash for funding new investments, we may in the future seek to issue additional debt or to securitize certain of our loans. The Investment Company Act may impose restrictions on the structure of any such securitization.

25

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the current net asset value per share of our common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. Any such sale would be dilutive to the net asset value per share of our common stock. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any commission or discount). If our common stock trades at a discount to net asset value, this restriction could adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

Pursuant to approval granted at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 12, 2016, we currently are permitted to sell or otherwise issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value, subject to certain limitations and determinations that must be made by our board of directors. Such stockholder approval expires on May 12, 2017.

We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing with us.

Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. We currently borrow under our Facilities and have issued or assumed other senior securities, and in the future may borrow from, or issue additional senior securities to, banks, insurance companies, funds, institutional investors and other lenders and investors. Lenders and holders of such senior securities have fixed dollar claims on our consolidated assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders or any preferred stockholders. If the value of our consolidated assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value per share of our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not incurred leverage.

Conversely, if the value of our consolidated assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not incurred leverage. Similarly, any increase in our consolidated income in excess of consolidated interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would had we not incurred leverage, while any decrease in our consolidated income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not incurred leverage. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stock dividend payments. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.

As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately $1,313.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Facilities, approximately $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the SBA-guaranteed debentures (the "SBA Debentures"), approximately $962.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the June 2016 Convertible Notes, the 2017 Convertible Notes, the 2018 Convertible Notes and the 2019 Convertible Notes (each as defined below and together, the "Convertible Unsecured Notes") and approximately $1,762.1 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes, the October 2022 Notes and the 2047 Notes (each as defined below and together, the "Unsecured Notes"). In order for us to cover our annual interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness at March 31, 2016, we must achieve annual returns on our March 31, 2016 total assets of at least 1.8%. The weighted average stated interest rate charged on our principal amount of outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2016 was 4.2%. We intends to continue borrowing under the Facilities in the future and we may increase the size of the Facilities or issue additional debt securities or other evidences of indebtedness (although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so). For more information on our indebtedness, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources." Our ability to service its debt depends largely on its financial

26

performance and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. The amount of leverage that we employ at any particular time will depend on our investment adviser's and our board of directors' assessments of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

The Facilities, the SBA Debentures, the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes impose financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a RIC. A failure to renew the Facilities or to add new or replacement debt facilities or to issue additional debt securities or other evidences of indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to regulatory requirements that restrict our ability to raise capital, the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes and the SBA Debentures contain various covenants that, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes and SBA Debentures, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The agreements governing the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes and the SBA Debentures require us to comply with certain financial and operational covenants. These covenants may include, among other things:

•
  restrictions on the level of indebtedness that we are permitted to incur in relation to the value of our assets;
•
  restrictions on our ability to incur liens; and
•
  maintenance of a minimum level of stockholders' equity.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are in compliance in all material respects with the covenants of the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes and the SBA Debentures. However, our continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. For example, depending on the condition of the public debt and equity markets and pricing levels, unrealized depreciation in our portfolio may increase in the future. Any such increase could result in our inability to comply with our obligation to restrict the level of indebtedness that we are able to incur in relation to the value of our assets or to maintain a minimum level of stockholders' equity.

Accordingly, although we believe we will continue to be in compliance, there are no assurances that we will continue to comply with the covenants in the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes and the SBA Debentures. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the Facilities, the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Unsecured Notes or the SBA Debentures that, if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders or holders of such indebtedness, as applicable, such lenders or holders could accelerate repayment under such indebtedness and thereby have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.

A number of entities compete with us to make the types of investments that we make in middle-market companies. We compete with other BDCs, public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies, insurance companies, hedge funds, and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk

27

assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Company Act imposes on us as a BDC and that the Code imposes on us as a RIC. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, as a result of this competition, we may not be able to pursue attractive investment opportunities from time to time.

We do not seek to compete primarily based on the interest rates we offer and we believe that some of our competitors may make loans with interest rates that are comparable to or lower than the rates we offer. Rather, we compete with our competitors based on our existing investment platform, seasoned investment professionals, experience and focus on middle-market companies, disciplined investment philosophy, extensive industry focus and flexible transaction structuring. For a more detailed discussion of these competitive advantages, see "Business—Competitive Advantages."

We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure. If we match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure, we may experience decreased net interest income and increased risk of credit loss. As a result of operating in such a competitive environment, we may make investments that are on less favorable terms than what we may have originally anticipated, which may impact our return on these investments.

We may be subject to additional corporate-level income taxes if we fail to maintain our status as a RIC.

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax treatment applicable to RICs. As a RIC, we generally will not pay U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes on our income and net capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends on a timely basis. We will be subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on any undistributed income and/or gains. To maintain our status as a RIC, we must meet certain source of income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal excise taxes, as well as state, local and foreign taxes.

To maintain our RIC status, we must timely distribute an amount equal to at least 90% of our investment company taxable income as defined by the Code, which generally includes net ordinary income and net short term capital gains) to our stockholders (the "Annual Distribution Requirement"). We have the ability to pay a large portion of our dividends in shares of our stock, and as long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash and other requirements are met, such stock dividends will be taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This may result in our U.S. stockholders having to pay tax on such dividends, even if no cash is received, and may result in our non-U.S. stockholders being subject to withholding tax in respect of amounts distributed in our stock. Because we use debt financing, we are subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the Investment Company Act and financial covenants under our indebtedness that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to qualify as a RIC. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to maintain our status as a RIC and, thus, may be subject to corporate-level income tax on all of our income and/or gains.

To maintain our status as a RIC, in addition to the Annual Distribution Requirement, we must also meet certain annual source of income requirements at the end of each taxable year and asset diversification requirements at the end of each calendar quarter. Failure to meet these requirements may result in our having to (a) dispose of certain investments quickly or (b) raise additional capital to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of our investments are in private companies and are generally illiquid, any such dispositions may be at disadvantageous prices and may result in losses. Also, the rules applicable to our qualification as a RIC are complex with many areas of uncertainty. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we have qualified or will continue to qualify as a RIC. If

28

we fail to maintain our status as a RIC for any reason and become subject to regular "C" corporation income tax, the resulting corporate-level income taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and on any investment in us. Certain provisions of the Code provide some relief from RIC disqualification due to failures of the source of income and asset diversification requirements, although there may be additional taxes due in such cases. We cannot assure you that we would qualify for any such relief should we fail the source of income or asset diversification requirements.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions under applicable tax rules if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as original issue discount, which may arise, for example, if we receive warrants in connection with the making of a loan or payment in kind ("PIK") interest representing contractual interest added to the loan principal balance and due at the end of the loan term. Such original issue discount or PIK interest is included in income before we receive any corresponding cash payments. We also may be required to include in income certain other amounts that we will not receive in cash, including, for example, amounts attributable to hedging and foreign currency transactions.

Since, in certain cases, we may recognize income before or without receiving cash in respect of such income, we may have difficulty meeting the U.S. federal income tax requirement to distribute generally an amount equal to at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to maintain our status as a RIC. Accordingly, we may have to sell some of our investments at times we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investment originations to meet these distribution requirements. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify as a RIC and thus be subject to additional corporate-level income taxes. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and on any investment in us. See "Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation as a RIC."

We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.

General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on our investments and investment opportunities and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on our investment objective and rate of return on invested capital. Because we borrow money and may issue debt securities or preferred stock to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds or pay interest or dividends on such debt securities or preferred stock and the rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

Trading prices for debt that pays a fixed rate of return tend to fall as interest rates rise. Trading prices tend to fluctuate more for fixed-rate securities that have longer maturities. In the past, we have entered into certain hedging transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements, to mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, and we may do so again in the future. In addition, we may increase our floating rate investments to position the portfolio for rate increases. However, we cannot assure you that such transactions will be successful in mitigating our exposure to interest rate risk. Hedging transactions may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

Although we have no policy governing the maturities of our investments, under current market conditions we expect that we will invest in a portfolio of debt generally having maturities of up to

29

10 years. This means that we are subject to greater risk (other things being equal) than a fund invested solely in shorter-term securities. A decline in the prices of the debt we own could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Also, an increase in interest rates available to investors could make an investment in our common stock less attractive if we are not able to increase our dividend rate, which could reduce the value of our common stock.

Most of our portfolio investments are not publicly traded and, as a result, the fair value of these investments may not be readily determinable.

A large percentage of our portfolio investments are not publicly traded. The fair value of investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable. We value these investments quarterly at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors based on, among other things, the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions). The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a minimum of 55% (based on value) of our valuations of portfolio companies without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. However, we may use these independent valuation firms to review the value of our investments more frequently, including in connection with the occurrence of significant events or changes in value affecting a particular investment. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, our investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

The types of factors that may be considered in valuing our investments include the enterprise value of the portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Our net asset value per share could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of these investments are higher than the values that we realize upon disposition of such investments.

The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.

As we generally make investments in private companies, substantially all of these investments are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if the need arises. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our investments. In addition, we may face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent that we or an affiliated manager of Ares has material non-public information regarding such portfolio company.

30

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the interest rates payable on the debt investments we make, the default rates on such investments, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if a significant investment fails to perform as expected.

Our investment portfolio includes investments that may be significant individually or in the aggregate. If a significant investment in one or more companies fails to perform as expected, such a failure could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and the magnitude of such effect could be more significant than if we had further diversified our portfolio.

Our investment portfolio includes our investment in the SSLP, which as of March 31, 2016, represented approximately 21% of our total portfolio at fair value. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, approximately 26% of our total investment income was earned from our investment in the SSLP. The income earned from the SSLP is derived from the interest and fee income earned by the SSLP from its investments in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies. We provide capital to the SSLP in the form of SSLP Certificates, which had a 12.1% yield at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and are junior in right of payment to the senior notes held by GE in the SSLP. For more information on the SSLP, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Portfolio and Investment Activity—Senior Secured Loan Program." Our return on and repayment of our investment in the SSLP Certificates depends on the performance of the loans in the SSLP's portfolio in the aggregate. Accordingly, any material degradation in the performance of the loans in the SSLP's portfolio in the aggregate would have a negative effect on the yield on our SSLP Certificates and could ultimately result in the loss of some or all of our investment in the SSLP Certificates.

As discussed in this prospectus, GE sold its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with us in the SSLP, to CPPIB. While GECC has announced its intention to continue to operate the SSLP and to provide us and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis, it has also stated that if a mutual agreement between us and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. We notified the SSLP on June 9, 2015 of our election to terminate, effective 90 days thereafter, our obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP prior to pursuing such opportunities for ourself. We do not anticipate that we will make any investments in the SSLP related to new portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, we were advised that GECC, as the holder of the Senior Notes, directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes us). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. As a result of these events, we expect that the aggregate SSLP portfolio will decline over time as loans in the program are repaid or exited, and as a result the portion of our earnings attributable to our investment in the SSLP will decline over time as well.

31

There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could impact our investment returns.

Certain of our executive officers and directors, and members of the investment committee of our investment adviser, serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of other entities and affiliates of our investment adviser and investment funds managed by our affiliates. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in our or our stockholders' best interests or may require them to devote time to services for other entities, which could interfere with the time available to provide services to us. Certain members of our investment adviser's investment committee have significant responsibilities for other Ares funds. For example, Mr. Bennett Rosenthal is required to devote a substantial majority of his business time to the affairs of the Ares Private Equity Group. Similarly, although the professional staff of our investment adviser will devote as much time to the management of the Company as appropriate to enable our investment adviser to perform its duties in accordance with the investment advisory and management agreement, the investment professionals of our investment adviser may have conflicts in allocating their time and services among the Company, on the one hand, and investment vehicles managed by Ares or one or more of its affiliates, on the other hand. These activities could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest insofar as the time and effort of the professional staff of our investment adviser and its officers and employees will not be devoted exclusively to the business of the Company but will instead be allocated between the business of the Company and the management of these other investment vehicles. However, Ares believes that the efforts of such individuals are synergistic with and beneficial to the affairs of Ares Capital and these other investment vehicles managed by Ares or its affiliates.

In addition, certain Ares funds may have investment objectives that compete or overlap with, and may from time to time invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by, Ares Capital. Consequently, we, on the one hand, and these other entities, on the other hand, may from time to time pursue the same or similar capital and investment opportunities. Ares and our investment adviser endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, and in any event consistent with any fiduciary duties owed to Ares Capital. Nevertheless, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by investment funds managed by investment managers affiliated with Ares. In addition, there may be conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities among us and the funds managed by investment managers affiliated with Ares or one or more of our controlled affiliates or among the funds they manage.

We have from time to time sold assets to IHAM and the IHAM Vehicles and, as part of our investment strategy, we may offer to sell additional assets to vehicles managed by one or more of our controlled affiliates (including IHAM) or we may purchase assets from vehicles managed by one or more of our controlled affiliates. In addition, vehicles managed by one or more of our controlled affiliates (including IHAM) may offer assets to or may purchase assets from one another. While assets may be sold or purchased at prices that are consistent with those that could be obtained from third parties in the marketplace, and although these types of transactions generally require approval of one or more independent parties, there may be an inherent conflict of interest in such transactions between us and funds managed by one of our controlled affiliates.

We pay a base management fee, an income based fee and a capital gains incentive fee to our investment adviser, and reimburse our investment adviser for certain expenses it incurs. In addition, investors in our common stock will invest on a gross basis and receive distributions on a net basis after expenses, resulting in, among other things, a lower rate of return than one might achieve if distributions were made on a gross basis.

Our investment adviser's base management fee is based on a percentage of our total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) and, consequently, our investment adviser may have conflicts of interest in connection with decisions that

32

could affect our total assets, such as decisions as to whether to incur indebtedness or to make future investments.

The income based fees payable by us to our investment adviser that relate to our pre-incentive fee net investment income is computed and paid on income that may include interest that is accrued but not yet received in cash. If a portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously used in the calculation of such fee will become uncollectible. Our investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the income based fees it received that were based on accrued interest that we never actually receive.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, our investment adviser has agreed to waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (1) $10 million of the income based fees and (2) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under our investment advisory and management agreement.

Our investment advisory and management agreement renews for successive annual periods if approved by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of our directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act. However, both we and our investment adviser have the right to terminate the agreement without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party. Moreover, conflicts of interest may arise if our investment adviser seeks to change the terms of our investment advisory and management agreement, including, for example, the terms for compensation. While any material change to the investment advisory and management agreement must be submitted to stockholders for approval under the Investment Company Act, we may from time to time decide it is appropriate to seek stockholder approval to change the terms of the agreement.

We are party to an administration agreement with our administrator, Ares Operations, a subsidiary of Ares Management, pursuant to which our administrator furnishes us with administrative services and we pay our administrator at cost our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by our administrator in performing its obligations under our administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers (including our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, general counsel, treasurer and assistant treasurer) and their respective staffs, but not investment professionals.

Our portfolio company, IHAM, is party to an administration agreement, referred to herein as the "IHAM administration agreement," with Ares Operations. Pursuant to the IHAM administration agreement, our administrator provides IHAM with administrative services and IHAM reimburses our administrator for all of the actual costs associated with such services, including its allocable portion of our administrator's overhead and the cost of our administrator's officers and respective staff in performing its obligations under the IHAM administration agreement. Prior to entering into the IHAM administration agreement, IHAM was party to a services agreement with our investment adviser, pursuant to which our investment adviser provided similar services.

As a result of the arrangements described above, there may be times when the management team of Ares (including those members of management focused primarily on managing Ares Capital) has interests that differ from those of yours, giving rise to a conflict.

Our stockholders may have conflicting investment, tax and other objectives with respect to their investments in us. The conflicting interests of individual stockholders may relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature of our investments, the structure or the acquisition of our investments and the timing of dispositions of our investments. As a consequence, conflicts of interest may arise in

33

connection with decisions made by our investment adviser, including with respect to the nature or structuring of our investments, that may be more beneficial for one stockholder than for another stockholder, especially with respect to stockholders' individual tax situations. In selecting and structuring investments appropriate for us, our investment adviser will consider the investment and tax objectives of the Company and our stockholders, as a whole, not the investment, tax or other objectives of any stockholder individually.

We are dependent on information systems and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business is dependent on our and third parties' communications and information systems. Any failure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any third-party service providers, could cause delays or other problems in our activities. Our financial, accounting, data processing, backup or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control and adversely affect our business. There could be:

•
  sudden electrical or telecommunications outages;
•
  natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes;
•
  disease pandemics;
•
  events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and
•
  cyber-attacks.

These events, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information resources. These incidents may be an intentional attack or an unintentional event and could involve gaining unauthorized access to our information systems for purposes of misappropriating assets, stealing confidential information, corrupting data or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our business relationships. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our information systems, both internal and those provided by Ares Management and third-party service providers. Ares Management has implemented processes, procedures and internal controls to help mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber intrusions, but these measures, as well as our increased awareness of the nature and extent of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that a cyber incident will not occur and/or that our financial results, operations or confidential information will not be negatively impacted by such an incident.

Ineffective internal controls could impact our business and operating results.

Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of

34

controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations or the operations of our portfolio companies or our SBIC subsidiary, changes in the interpretation thereof or newly enacted laws or regulations, such as the Dodd-Frank Act, and any failure by us or our portfolio companies to comply with these laws or regulations, could require changes to certain business practices of us or our portfolio companies, negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us or our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to regulation by laws and regulations at the local, state, federal and, in some cases, foreign levels. These laws and regulations, as well as their interpretation, may be changed from time to time, and new laws and regulations may be enacted. Accordingly, any change in these laws or regulations, changes in their interpretation, or newly enacted laws or regulations and any failure by us or our portfolio companies to comply with these laws or regulations, could require changes to certain business practices of us or our portfolio companies, negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us or our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have had extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and have required extensive rulemaking by regulatory authorities. While many of the rules required to be written have been promulgated, some have not yet been implemented. Although the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on us and our portfolio companies may not be known for an extended period of time, the Dodd-Frank Act, including the rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, along with other legislative and regulatory proposals directed at the financial services industry or affecting taxation that are proposed or pending in the U.S. Congress, may negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us or our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies, intensify the regulatory supervision of us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.

Over the last several years, there also has been an increase in regulatory attention to the extension of credit outside of the traditional banking sector, raising the possibility that some portion of the non-bank financial sector will be subject to new regulation. While it cannot be known at this time whether any regulation will be implemented or what form it will take, increased regulation of non-bank credit extension could negatively impact our operating results or financial condition, impose additional costs on us, intensify the regulatory supervision of us or otherwise adversely affect our business.

Our investment adviser's liability is limited under the investment advisory and management agreement, and we are required to indemnify our investment adviser against certain liabilities, which may lead our investment adviser to act in a riskier manner on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

Our investment adviser has not assumed any responsibility to us other than to render the services described in the investment advisory and management agreement, and it will not be responsible for any action of our board of directors in declining to follow our investment adviser's advice or recommendations. Pursuant to the investment advisory and management agreement, our investment

35

adviser and its members and their respective officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members and any other person or entities affiliated with it will not be liable to us for their acts under the investment advisory and management agreement, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. We have agreed to indemnify, defend and protect our investment adviser and its members and their respective officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members and any other person or entities affiliated with it with respect to all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of our investment adviser's duties or obligations under the investment advisory and management agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser for the Company, and not arising out of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties under the investment advisory and management agreement. These protections may lead our investment adviser to act in a riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Investments—Our investment adviser's fee structure may induce it to make certain investments, including speculative investments."

We may be obligated to pay our investment adviser certain fees even if we incur a loss.

Our investment adviser is entitled to income based fees for each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to a percentage of the excess of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for that quarter (before deducting any income based fee and capital gains incentive fees and certain other items) above a threshold return for that quarter. Our pre-incentive fee net investment income for income based fee purposes excludes realized and unrealized capital losses or depreciation and income taxes related to realized gains that we may incur in the fiscal quarter, even if such capital losses or depreciation and income taxes related to realized gains result in a net loss on our statement of operations for that quarter. Thus, we may be required to pay our investment adviser income based fees for a fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of our portfolio or we incur a net loss for that quarter.

Under the investment advisory and management agreement, we will defer cash payment of any income based fee and the capital gains incentive fee otherwise earned by our investment adviser if, during the most recent four full calendar quarter periods ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) our aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) our change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees or capital gains incentive fees accrued during the period) is less than 7.0% of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. These calculations will be adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases. Any such deferred fees will be carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment can then be made under the investment advisory and management agreement.

If a portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously used in the calculation of income based fees will become uncollectible. Our investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of income based fees it received that was based on accrued income that we never receive as a result of a default on the obligation that resulted in the accrual of such income.

Our SBIC subsidiary is subject to SBA regulations.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Ares Venture Finance, L.P. ("AVF LP"), is a licensed Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") and is regulated by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP held approximately $76.6 million in assets and accounted for approximately 0.8% of our total assets. AVF LP obtains leverage by issuing the SBA Debentures. As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP had approximately $25 million in aggregate principal amount of the SBA Debentures outstanding.

36

If AVF LP fails to comply with applicable regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit or prohibit AVF LP's use of SBA Debentures, declare outstanding SBA Debentures immediately due and payable, and/or limit AVF LP from making new investments. In addition, the SBA could revoke or suspend AVF LP's license for willful or repeated violation of, or willful or repeated failure to observe, any provision of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the "Small Business Investment Act") or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder. AVF LP's status as an SBIC does not automatically assure that it will receive SBA Debenture funding. Receipt of SBA leverage funding is dependent upon whether AVF LP is and continues to be in compliance with SBA regulations and policies and whether funding is available. The amount of SBA leverage funding available to SBICs is dependent upon annual Congressional authorizations and in the future may be subject to annual Congressional appropriations. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient debenture funding available at the times desired by AVF LP. For more information on SBA Debentures or the SBA regulations to which AVF LP is subject, see "Regulation—SBA Regulation."

We have elected to be treated as a RIC and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax treatment applicable to RICs. Among other things, in order to maintain our RIC status, we must distribute to our stockholders on a timely basis generally an amount equal to at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, which includes taxable income from AVF LP. AVF LP may be limited by SBA regulations from making certain distributions to us that may be necessary to timely make distributions to stockholders and to maintain our status as a RIC. Compliance with the SBA regulations may cause us to fail to qualify as a RIC and consequently result in the imposition of additional corporate-level income taxes on us. Noncompliance with the SBA regulations may result in adverse consequences for AVF LP as described above.

We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition.

While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed at all, we expect to complete the American Capital Acquisition as early as the fourth quarter of 2016. The completion of the American Capital Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, American Capital stockholder approval, our stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, receipt of certain third party consents and other customary closing conditions. We intend to complete the American Capital Acquisition as soon as possible; however, we cannot assure you that the conditions required to complete the American Capital Acquisition will be satisfied or waived on the anticipated schedule, or at all. If the American Capital Acquisition is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition—If the American Capital Acquisition does not close, we won't benefit from the expenses incurred in its pursuit." In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, American Capital or the Company may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $140 million. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition—Under certain circumstances, American Capital and the Company are obligated to pay each other a termination fee upon termination of the Merger Agreement." See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed. Any investment decision you make should be made with the understanding that the completion of the American Capital Acquisition may not happen as scheduled, or at all.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR INVESTMENTS

Declines in market prices and liquidity in the corporate debt markets can result in significant net unrealized depreciation of our portfolio, which in turn would reduce our net asset value.

As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors. We may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). As a result, volatility in the capital markets can also adversely affect our investment valuations. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. The effect of all of these factors on our portfolio can reduce our net asset value by increasing net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial realized losses and may suffer unrealized losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

Many of our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic downturns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans during these periods. Therefore, during these periods our non-performing assets may increase and the value of our portfolio may decrease if we are required to write down the values of our investments. Adverse economic conditions may also decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing investments and harm our operating results. We experienced to some extent such effects as a result of the economic downturn that occurred from 2008 through 2009 and may experience such effects again in any future downturn or recession.

A portfolio company's failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its assets representing collateral for its obligations, which could trigger cross defaults under other agreements and jeopardize our portfolio company's ability to meet its obligations under the debt that we hold and the value of any equity securities we own. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company.

38

Investments in privately held middle-market companies involve significant risks.

We primarily invest in privately held U.S. middle-market companies. Investments in privately held middle-market companies involve a number of significant risks, including the following:

•
  these companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of us realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment;
•
  they typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors' actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns;
•
  they typically depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse effect on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us;
•
  there is generally little public information about these companies. These companies and their financial information are not subject to the Exchange Act (as defined below) and other regulations that govern public companies, and we may be unable to uncover all material information about these companies, which may prevent us from making a fully informed investment decision and cause us to lose money on our investments;
•
  they generally have less predictable operating results and may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position;
•
  our executive officers, directors and our investment adviser may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in our portfolio companies;
•
  changes in laws and regulations, as well as their interpretations, may adversely affect their business, financial structure or prospects; and
•
  they may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs.

Our debt investments may be risky and we could lose all or part of our investment.

The debt that we invest in is typically not initially rated by any rating agency, but we believe that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than "Baa3" by Moody's Investors Service, lower than "BBB–" by Fitch Ratings or lower than "BBB–" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services), which under the guidelines established by these entities is an indication of having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Bonds that are rated below investment grade are sometimes referred to as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds." Therefore, our investments may result in an above average amount of risk and volatility or loss of principal. While the debt we invest in is often secured, such security does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the terms of the loan, or that the value of any collateral will be sufficient to allow us to recover all or a portion of the outstanding amount of the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies.

We also may invest in assets other than first and second lien and mezzanine debt investments, including high-yield securities, U.S. government securities, credit derivatives and other structured securities and certain direct equity investments. These investments entail additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns.

39

Investments in equity securities, many of which are illiquid with no readily available market, involve a substantial degree of risk.

We may purchase common and other equity securities. Although common stock has historically generated higher average total returns than fixed income securities over the long-term, common stock also has experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. The equity securities we acquire may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless and our ability to recover our investment will depend on our portfolio companies' success. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including:

•
  any equity investment we make in a portfolio company could be subject to further dilution as a result of the issuance of additional equity interests and to serious risks as a junior security that will be subordinate to all indebtedness (including trade creditors) or senior securities in the event that the issuer is unable to meet its obligations or becomes subject to a bankruptcy process;
•
  to the extent that the portfolio company requires additional capital and is unable to obtain it, we may not recover our investment; and
•
  in some cases, equity securities in which we invest will not pay current dividends, and our ability to realize a return on our investment, as well as to recover our investment, will be dependent on the success of the portfolio company. Even if the portfolio company is successful, our ability to realize the value of our investment may be dependent on the occurrence of a liquidity event, such as a public offering or the sale of the portfolio company. It is likely to take a significant amount of time before a liquidity event occurs or we can otherwise sell our investment. In addition, the equity securities we receive or invest in may be subject to restrictions on resale during periods in which it could be advantageous to sell them.

There are special risks associated with investing in preferred securities, including:

•
  preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer. If we own a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, we may be required to report income for tax purposes before we receive such distributions;
•
  preferred securities are subordinated to debt in terms of priority to income and liquidation payments, and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than debt;
•
  preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stock or U.S. government securities; and
•
  generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company, subject to limited exceptions.

Additionally, when we invest in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured loans or mezzanine debt, we may acquire warrants or other equity securities as well. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

We may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in the equity securities of investment funds that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions to the Investment Company Act and in advisers to similar investment funds and, to the extent we so invest, will bear our ratable share of any such company's

40

expenses, including management and performance fees. We will also remain obligated to pay the base management fee, income based fee and capital gains incentive fee to our investment adviser with respect to the assets invested in the securities and instruments of such companies. With respect to each of these investments, each of our common stockholders will bear his or her share of the base management fee, income based fee and capital gains incentive fee due to our investment adviser as well as indirectly bearing the management and performance fees and other expenses of any such investment funds or advisers.

There may be circumstances in which our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.

If one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, even though we may have structured our interest as senior debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt holding as an equity investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. In addition, lenders can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them where they become too involved in the borrower's business or exercise control over the borrower. For example, we could become subject to a lender's liability claim, if, among other things, we actually render significant managerial assistance.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt or issue equity securities that rank equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.

Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt, or issue other equity securities, that rank equally with, or senior to, our investments. By their terms, such instruments may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of dividends, interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments in respect of our investments. These debt instruments would usually prohibit the portfolio companies from paying interest on or repaying our investments in the event and during the continuance of a default under such debt. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of securities ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company typically are entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying such holders, the portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of securities ranking equally with our investments, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other security holders in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing any junior priority loans we make to our portfolio companies may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements (including agreements governing "first out" and "last out" structures) that we enter into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an intercreditor agreement, at any time that senior obligations are outstanding, we may forfeit certain rights with respect to the collateral to the holders of the senior obligations. These rights may include the right to commence enforcement proceedings against the collateral, the right to control the conduct of such enforcement proceedings, the right to approve amendments to collateral documents, the right to release liens on the collateral and the right to waive past defaults under collateral documents. We may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if as a result our rights as junior lenders are adversely affected.

When we are a debt or minority equity investor in a portfolio company, we are often not in a position to exert influence on the entity, and other equity holders and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

When we make debt or minority equity investments, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree and the other equity holders and

41

management of such company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our investment.

Our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged.

Some of our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged, which may have adverse consequences to these companies and to us as an investor. These companies may be subject to restrictive financial and operating covenants and the leverage may impair these companies' ability to finance their future operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies' flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to take advantage of business opportunities may be limited. Further, a leveraged company's income and net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed money were not used.

Our investment adviser's fee structure may induce it to make certain investments, including speculative investments.

The fees payable by us to our investment adviser may create an incentive for our investment adviser to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which income based fees payable to our investment adviser are determined, which are calculated as a percentage of the return on invested capital, may encourage our investment adviser to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor the holders of our common stock and the holders of securities convertible into our common stock. In addition, our investment adviser will receive the capital gains incentive fee based, in part, upon net capital gains realized on our investments. Unlike income based fees, there is no hurdle rate applicable to the capital gains incentive fee. As a result, our investment adviser may have a tendency to invest more in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice could result in our investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during economic downturns.

The income based fees will be computed and paid on income that has been accrued but not yet received in cash, including as a result of investments with a deferred interest feature such as debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities. If a portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously used in the calculation of the income based fee will become uncollectible. Our investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the fees it received that were based on such accrued interest that we never actually received.

Because of the structure of the income based fees, it is possible that we may have to pay income based fees in a quarter during which we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate for a quarter, we will pay the applicable income based fees even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses. In addition, if market interest rates rise, our investment adviser may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for our investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive income based fees.

Our investments in foreign companies may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Our investment strategy contemplates potential investments in foreign companies. Investing in foreign companies may expose us to additional risks not typically associated with investing in U.S.

42

companies. These risks include changes in exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes (potentially at confiscatory levels), less liquid markets, less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility.

Although most of our investments will be U.S. dollar denominated, our investments that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political developments. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we cannot assure you that such strategies will be effective or without risk to us.

We may expose ourselves to risks if we engage in hedging transactions.

We have and may in the future enter into hedging transactions, which may expose us to risks associated with such transactions. We may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Use of these hedging instruments may include counter-party credit risk.

Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions should increase. Moreover, it may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that is so generally anticipated that we are not able to enter into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price.

The success of our hedging transactions will depend on our ability to correctly predict movements in currencies and interest rates. Therefore, while we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged may vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to (or be able to) establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies because the value of those securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of factors not related to currency fluctuations. See also "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates."

We may initially invest a portion of the net proceeds of offerings pursuant to this prospectus primarily in high-quality short-term investments, which will generate lower rates of return than those expected from the interest generated on first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt.

We may initially invest a portion of the net proceeds of offerings pursuant to this prospectus primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality short-term

43

investments. These securities generally earn yields substantially lower than the income that we anticipate receiving once we are fully invested in accordance with our investment objective. As a result, we may not, for a time, be able to achieve our investment objective and/or we may need to, for a time, decrease the amount of any dividend that we may pay to our stockholders to a level that is substantially lower than the level that we expect to pay when the net proceeds of offerings are fully invested in accordance with our investment objective. If we do not realize yields in excess of our expenses, we may incur operating losses and the market price of our shares may decline.

RISKS RELATING TO OFFERINGS PURSUANT TO THIS PROSPECTUS

There is a risk that investors in our debt securities may not receive all of the interest income to which they are entitled.

We intend to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. If we declare a dividend and if more stockholders opt to receive cash distributions rather than participate in our dividend reinvestment plan, we may be forced to sell some of our investments in order to make cash dividend payments.

In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. Certain of the Facilities may also limit our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions. Further, if we invest a greater amount of assets in equity securities that do not pay current dividends, it could reduce the amount available for distribution.

The above-referenced restrictions on distributions may also inhibit our ability to make required interest payments to holders of our debt, which may cause a default under the terms of our debt agreements. Such a default could materially increase our cost of raising capital, as well as cause us to incur penalties under the terms of our debt agreements.

The trading market or market value of our publicly issued debt securities may fluctuate.

Our publicly issued debt securities may or may not have an established trading market. We cannot assure you that a trading market for our publicly issued debt securities will ever develop or be maintained if developed. In addition to our creditworthiness, many factors may materially adversely affect the trading market for, and market value of, our publicly issued debt securities. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•
  the time remaining to the maturity of these debt securities;
•
  the outstanding principal amount of debt securities with terms identical to these debt securities;
•
  the ratings assigned by national statistical ratings agencies;
•
  the general economic environment;
•
  the supply of such debt securities trading in the secondary market, if any;
•
  the redemption or repayment features, if any, of these debt securities;
•
  the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally; and
•
  market rates of interest higher or lower than rates borne by the debt securities.

You should also be aware that there may be a limited number of buyers if and when you decide to sell your debt securities. This too may materially adversely affect the market value of the debt securities or the trading market for the debt securities.

44

Terms relating to redemption may materially adversely affect your return on any debt securities that we may issue.

If your debt securities are redeemable at our option, we may choose to redeem your debt securities at times when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest rate paid on your debt securities. In addition, if your debt securities are subject to mandatory redemption, we may be required to redeem your debt securities also at times when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest rate paid on your debt securities. In this circumstance, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as your debt securities being redeemed.

Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in our debt securities.

Our credit ratings are an assessment by third parties of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt securities. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to market conditions generally or other factors discussed above on the market value of or trading market for the publicly issued debt securities.

RISKS RELATING TO THE AMERICAN CAPITAL ACQUISITION

Completion of the American Capital Acquisition will cause immediate dilution to our stockholders' voting interests in us and may cause immediate dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock.

Upon completion of the American Capital Acquisition, each share of American Capital Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the American Capital Acquisition will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, certain cash consideration as well as stock consideration from us at the exchange ratio of 0.483 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of our common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Exchange Ratio of 0.483 of a share of our common stock for each share of American Capital Common Stock was fixed on May 23, 2016, the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement, and is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the trading price of our or American Capital Common Stock before the closing of the American Capital Acquisition. Based on the number of shares of American Capital Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement, this would result in approximately 110.8 million of our shares being exchanged for approximately 229.3 million outstanding American Capital shares, subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances. If the American Capital Acquisition is completed, based on the number of our common shares issued and outstanding on the date hereof, our stockholders will own approximately 74% of the combined company's outstanding common stock and American Capital stockholders will own approximately 26% of the combined company's outstanding common stock. Consequently, our stockholders should expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of the combined company following the American Capital Acquisition than they currently exercise over our management and policies.

Any change in the market price of our common stock prior to completion of the American Capital Acquisition will affect the value of the stock portion of the American Capital Acquisition consideration that holders of American Capital Common Stock will receive upon completion of the American Capital Acquisition. The conversion of shares of American Capital Common Stock into shares of our common stock may result in the issuance of shares of our common stock at a price below our net asset value per share, which would result in dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock.

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American

45

Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition."

We may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the American Capital Acquisition and subsequent combination, including estimated cost savings and synergies, or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.

The realization of certain benefits anticipated as a result of the American Capital Acquisition will depend in part on the integration of American Capital's investment portfolio with our investment portfolio and the integration of American Capital's business with our investment portfolio or business. There can be no assurance that American Capital's investment portfolio or business can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into ours in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from the day-to-day business of the Company and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including but not limited to, incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of American Capital's investment portfolio to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the combined company.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, our investment adviser has agreed to (1) provide $275 million of cash consideration, or $1.20 per share of American Capital Common Stock, payable to American Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at the effective time of the Mergers and (2) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (A) $10 million of the income based fees and (B) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case, to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement.

We also expect to achieve certain cost savings and synergies from the American Capital Acquisition when the two companies have fully integrated their portfolios. It is possible that our estimates of the potential cost savings and synergies could turn out to be incorrect. If the estimates turn out to be incorrect or we are not able to successfully combine the investment portfolios and businesses of the two companies, the anticipated cost savings and synergies may not be fully realized or realized at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

American Capital's and our inability to obtain consents with respect to certain certain investment funds managed by ACAM and its subsidiaries representing at least 75% of the aggregate assets under management of such funds as of March 31, 2016 could delay or prevent the completion of the American Capital Acquisition.

Under the Merger Agreement, American Capital's and our obligation to complete the American Capital Acquisition is subject to the prior receipt of consents required to be obtained from certain investment funds managed by ACAM, with respect to aggregate assets under management of such consenting funds representing at least 75% of the aggregate assets under management of all such funds as of March 31, 2016 and approvals and consents required to be obtained from other third parties. Although American Capital and we expect that all such approvals and consents will be obtained and remain in effect and all conditions related to such consents will be satisfied, if they are not, the closing of the American Capital Acquisition could be significantly delayed or the American Capital Acquisition may not occur at all.

46

The American Capital Acquisition may trigger certain "change of control" provisions and other restrictions in contracts of American Capital, the Company or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact the combined company.

Certain agreements of American Capital and the Company or their affiliates, including with respect to certain funds managed by ACAM and its affiliates, will or may require the consent or waiver of one or more counter-parties in connection with the American Capital Acquisition. The failure to obtain any such consent or waiver may permit such counter-parties to terminate, or otherwise increase their rights or the combined company's obligations under, any such agreement because the American Capital Acquisition may violate an anti-assignment, change of control or other provision relating to any of such transactions. If this happens, we may have to seek to replace such an agreement with a new agreement or seek an amendment to such agreement. American Capital and the Company cannot assure you that we will be able to replace or amend any such agreement on comparable terms or at all.

If any such agreement is material, the failure to obtain consents, amendments or waivers under, or to replace on similar terms or at all, any of these agreements could adversely affect the financial performance or results of operations of the combined company following the American Capital Acquisition, including preventing the Company from operating a material part of American Capital's business.

In addition, the completion of the American Capital Acquisition may violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation (including any payment obligation) under agreements of American Capital or the Company. Any such violation, conflict, breach, loss, default or other effect could, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined company following completion of the American Capital Acquisition.

Litigation filed against American Capital and its board of directors, the Company, and certain parties to the Merger Agreement, could prevent or delay the completion of the American Capital Acquisition or result in the payment of damages following completion of the American Capital Acquisition.

American Capital and we are aware that three lawsuits have been filed by stockholders of American Capital challenging the American Capital Acquisition. Each of these suits is filed as a stockholder class action. These actions assert claims against the members of American Capital's board of directors and American Capital alleging that the Merger Agreement is the product of a flawed sales process and that American Capital's directors breached their fiduciary duties by facilitating the acquisition of American Capital by the Company for inadequate consideration and agreeing to lock up the American Capital Acquisition with deal protection devices that preclude other bidders from making a successful competing offer for American Capital. The lawsuits also claim that American Capital, ACAM, American Capital Mortgage Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAM or "ACMM," American Capital Agency Corp. or "AGNC," the Company and certain of the Company's affiliates aided and abetted the directors' alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The lawsuits demand, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining the American Capital Acquisition and rescinding the transaction or any part thereof that may be implemented. These legal proceedings could delay or prevent the American Capital Acquisition from becoming effective within the agreed upon timeframe or at all, and, if the American Capital Acquisition is completed, may be material to the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the combined company. It is possible that third parties could try to seek to impose liability against the combined company in connection with this matter or other potential legal proceedings.

47

Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact us.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including:

•
  our business may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the American Capital Acquisition, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the American Capital Acquisition;
•
  the market price of our common stock might decline to the extent that the market price prior to termination reflects a market assumption that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed; and
•
  the payment of any reverse termination fee, if required under the circumstances, could adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.

Under certain circumstances, American Capital and the Company are obligated to pay each other a termination fee upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

No assurance can be given that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment by American Capital to us of a termination fee of $140 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated by American Capital or us under certain circumstances. If American Capital stockholders do not adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger Agreement is terminated, American Capital will be required to reimburse us for our expenses up to $15 million, which amount will reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, any termination fee that becomes payable by American Capital to us. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for a payment by us to American Capital of a reverse termination fee of $140 million under certain other circumstances. If the issuance of the shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement (including, if applicable, at a price below its then current net asset value per share) does not receive required stockholder and other Investment Company Act approvals, if any, and the Merger Agreement is terminated, we will be required to reimburse American Capital for its expenses up to $15 million, which amount will reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, any termination fee that becomes payable by us to American Capital.

The market price of our common stock after the completion of the American Capital Acquisition may be affected by factors different from those affecting American Capital Common Stock or our common stock currently.

Our business differs from that of American Capital in some respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of our common stock after the completion of the American Capital Acquisition may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting our results of operations or American Capital's results of operations prior to the completion of the American Capital Acquisition.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the Merger Agreement, subject to the completion of the Mergers, American Capital stockholders will receive $1.470 billion in cash from us, or $6.41 per share, plus 0.483 shares of Ares Capital common stock for each share of American Capital common stock, resulting in approximately 110.8 million shares of Ares Capital common stock issued in exchange for approximately 229.3 million shares of American Capital common stock. The purchase price is approximately $3.0 billion in total cash and stock consideration from us which is based upon a closing price of $14.25 per share of Ares Capital common stock as of July 1, 2016 and an implied value per share of American Capital common stock of $13.29. Additionally as part of the total merger consideration received by American Capital stockholders, Ares Capital Management will provide approximately $275 million of cash, or $1.20 per fully diluted share, to American Capital stockholders at closing. Separately, upon completion of the Mergers, each share of American Capital common stock will also be entitled to receive $2.45 per share in cash (representing an aggregate amount of approximately $562 million), which amount represents the per share cash consideration to be paid to American Capital as a result of the completion of the Mortgage Manager Sale, which was completed on July 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both American Capital and the Company, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Index to Financial Statements."

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and explanatory notes illustrate the effect of the Mergers on our financial position and results of operations based upon our and American Capital's respective historical financial positions and results of operations under the acquisition method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquirer.

In accordance with GAAP, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of American Capital will be recorded by us at their estimated fair values as of the effective time. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company and American Capital reflects the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 assumes the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions had been completed on March 31, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 assumes the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions had been completed on December 31, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor the impact of potential expense efficiencies of the Mergers, certain potential asset dispositions and other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information, the allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information involves estimates, is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data does not include any estimated net increase (decrease) in stockholders' equity resulting from operations or other asset sales and repayments that are not already reflected that may occur between March 31, 2016 and the completion of the Mergers.

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition.

Each share of American Capital common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers will also be entitled to (1) $6.41 per share in cash from Ares Capital, (2) $1.20 per share in cash (representing an aggregate amount of approximately $275) from Ares Capital Management, acting solely on its own behalf and (3) certain Ares Capital dividend make-up amounts, if applicable. Separately, upon completion of the Mergers, each share of American Capital common stock will also be entitled to receive $2.45 per share in cash, which amount represents the per share cash consideration to be paid to American Capital as a result of the completion of the Mortgage Manager Sale, which occurred on July 1, 2016.

The merger of Acquisition Sub with and into American Capital will be accounted for as an asset acquisition of American Capital by Ares Capital in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues. The fair value of the merger consideration paid by us is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition and will not give rise to goodwill. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the merger consideration paid by us, then we would recognize a deemed contribution from Ares Capital Management in an amount up to approximately $275. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the merger consideration paid by us and by Ares Capital Management, then we would recognize a purchase accounting gain. Alternatively, if the fair value of the net assets acquired is less than the fair value of the merger consideration paid by us, then we would recognize a purchase accounting loss. As indicated in Note 2 below regarding the preliminary pro forma purchase price allocation calculated as of March 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired on a pro forma basis exceeds the estimated fair value of the merger consideration paid by us resulting in the recognition of a deemed contribution from Ares Capital Management of approximately $39, which would be recorded by Ares Capital in the period the Mergers are completed.

Under the Investment Company Act, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of all our consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In determining the fair value of the assets to be acquired, we follow ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires us to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able

83

to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, we have considered its principal market as the market in which Ares Capital exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•
  Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Ares Capital has the ability to access.
•
  Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•
  Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we continue to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10. Consistent with our valuation policy, it evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. Our valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, the fair value of its investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it. As of March 31, 2016, substantially all of the investments held by us and American Capital are Level 3 investments.

The following table presents fair value measurements of investments for the pro forma combined company as of March 31, 2016:

|  |  |  | Fair Value Measurements Using |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  | Total |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |
Investments not measured at net asset value(1) |  | $ | 11,929 |  | $ | 8 |  | $ | 382 |  | $ | 11,539 |

As of March 31, 2016, the net unrealized depreciation on the investments that use Level 3 inputs for the pro forma combined company was $110.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes preliminary estimated purchase price allocation adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of American Capital at their respective estimated fair values and represents our estimates based on available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the Mergers are completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated fair values of American Capital's assets and liabilities as of the effective time of the Mergers. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments and integration charges may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this prospectus. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets and other items of American Capital as compared to the information shown in this prospectus may change the amount of the purchase price recognized as a deemed contribution, income or loss in accordance with ASC 805-50.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented in this prospectus is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the Mergers been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor the impact of expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, share repurchases and other factors. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

2. Preliminary Purchase Accounting Allocations

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 assuming the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions had been completed on March 31, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 were prepared assuming the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions had been completed on December 31, 2014.

85

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information reflects the issuance of approximately 110.8 million shares of Ares Capital common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The merger of Acquisition Sub with and into American Capital will be accounted for using the asset acquisition method of accounting; accordingly, the merger consideration paid by us in connection with the Mergers will be allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of American Capital at their relative fair values estimated by us as of the effective time. The excess fair value of the net assets acquired over the fair value of the merger consideration paid by us is recognized as a deemed contribution from Ares Capital Management in an amount up to approximately $275. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on our estimate of relative fair values as summarized in the following table:

|  | Pro Forma American Capital March 31, 2016 |
--- | --- | --- | ---
Common stock issued |  | $ | 1,578 |
Cash consideration paid |  |  | 1,470 |

The preliminary pro forma purchase accounting allocation included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is as follows:

A.
  To reflect American Capital's balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, updated for estimated changes subsequent to March 31, 2016:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

(1)
  Includes actual exits and repayments of investments occurring between April 1, 2016 and July 1, 2016 of $1,476 at fair value (total proceeds of $1,456), including the Mortgage Manager Sale. Also includes investments expected to be sold pursuant to contractual

86

agreements as of July 1, 2016 of $87 at fair value (total proceeds of $116). We and American Capital cannot assure you that American Capital will sell all or any portion of these investments.

(2)
  Reflects the use of available cash to repay all outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2016.
(3)
  Primarily reflects approximately $180, or 11.4 million shares, of common stock repurchased by American Capital pursuant to its stock repurchase program from April 1, 2016 through May 20, 2016. Also reflects proceeds received from 1.1 million stock options exercised from April 1, 2016 through July 1, 2016, totaling $11.

B.
  To reflect the acquisition of American Capital by the issuance of approximately 110.8 million shares of Ares Capital common stock. The table below reflects the allocation of the purchase price on the basis of our estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Components of the purchase price:

|  | Adjusted American Capital March 31, 2016 |  | Pro Forma Adjustments |  | Pro Forma March 31, 2016 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Common stock issued |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,578 |
Cash consideration paid |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1,470 |
Deemed contribution from Ares Capital Management |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 39 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total purchase price |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 3,087 |

Assets acquired: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Investments, at fair value |  | $ | 3,174 |  | $ | (184 | )(1) | $ | 2,990 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 894 |  |  | (737 | )(2)(3) |  | 157 |
Deferred tax asset |  |  | 212 |  |  | (212 | )(1) |  | — |
Other assets |  |  | 165 |  |  | (10 | )(1) |  | 155 |

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

(1)
  Primarily to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to American Capital's assets and liabilities based on our estimates of fair value. There is no single approach for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process. The adjustment to other liabilities includes an adjustment to record a liability for the estimated loss on future lease payments of $51.
(2)
  In addition to the net effect of the fair value adjustments to American Capital's assets and liabilities, the net assets of American Capital were decreased for various transaction costs expected to be incurred by American Capital of approximately $195, including $21 of other liabilities expected to be paid within the 24 months following the completion of the Mergers.
(3)
  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Mortgage Manager Sale, American Capital stockholders will receive a distribution equal to approximately $562.

C.
  The net assets of the pro forma combined company were decreased for the cash consideration paid by us to American Capital stockholders of approximately $6.41 per fully diluted share, or approximately $1,470.

87

D.
  The pro forma adjustment to cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects draws under our revolving credit facilities with the cash proceeds used to fund the various net cash requirements of Ares Capital related to the Mergers, including certain costs expected to be incurred by Ares Capital related to the Mergers. For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, it is assumed that the Revolving Funding Facility (defined below) is amended and upsized from its current committed amount of $540 to $1,000 as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The net assets of the pro forma combined company were decreased by $33 to reflect various other costs expected to be incurred by us in connection with the Mergers.
E.
  Investment income and any unrealized gains and losses associated with actual exits and repayments of investments occurring between April 1, 2016 and July 1, 2016, including the Mortgage Manager Sale, or expected to be sold pursuant to contractual agreements as of July 1, 2016 were removed from the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015.
F.
  Reflects the reduction to interest expense associated with the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness of American Capital as of March 31, 2016. Also reflects the interest expense associated with the additional draws under our revolving credit facilities assumed in Note D above.
G.
  Base management fees were computed based on 1.5% of average total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) per our investment advisory and management agreement.
H.
  Income based and capital gains incentive fees were recomputed based on the formulas described in our investment advisory and management agreement. The additional income based fees prior to the consideration of the fee waiver from Ares Capital Management for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $2 and $14, respectively. After applying the fee waiver for such periods, the reduction in the income based fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $8 and $26, respectively.
I.
  Adjustments to other expenses were made to reflect compensation costs for American Capital employees that would have been covered by the base management fees paid to Ares Capital Management and therefore would not be directly incurred by us. Additionally, all American Capital stock option costs were excluded as such costs would not exist at the Company as there is no stock option plan maintained by us. Lastly, any actual costs incurred related to the Mergers and the Other Pro Forma Transactions were also excluded.
J.
  Adjustments were made to reflect that American Capital would have been a RIC under the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. For the periods presented, American Capital was subject to taxation as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code.
K.
  Total shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016 have been adjusted to reflect the following:

Ares Capital shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016 |  |  | 313,954,008 |
Estimated shares issued in connection with the Mergers reflected as outstanding for the periods presented |  |  | 110,767,419 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Ares Capital adjusted shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016 |  |  | 424,721,427 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

88

Weighted average shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 have been adjusted to reflect the following:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2015 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Ares Capital weighted average shares outstanding |  |  | 314,293,027 |  |  | 314,375,099 |
Estimated shares issued in connection with the Mergers reflected as outstanding for the periods presented |  |  | 110,767,419 |  |  | 110,767,419 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Ares Capital adjusted weighted average shares oustanding |  |  | 425,060,446 |  |  | 425,142,518 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

L.
  Includes compensation costs for certain American Capital employees that would have been subject to reimbursement by us, pursuant to the administrative agreement with our administrator, Ares Operations, for our allocable share of such compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, includes such compensation costs of $17. For the year ended December 31, 2015, includes such compensation costs of $57. These compensation costs as well as other general and administrative expenses do not reflect any potential expense efficiencies of the Mergers.

89

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our debt securities for general corporate purposes, which include investing in portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objective. We also expect to use the net proceeds of an offering to repay or repurchase outstanding indebtedness, which may include indebtedness (approximately $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016) under (a) the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) ($1,085.0 million outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (b) the Revolving Funding Facility (as defined below) (approximately $123.0 million outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (c) the SMBC Funding Facility (as defined below) (approximately $125.0 million outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (d) the 2017 Convertible Notes (approximately $162.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (e) the 2018 Convertible Notes (approximately $270.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (f) the 2019 Convertible Notes (approximately $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (g) the 2018 Notes (as defined below) (approximately $750.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (h) the 2020 Notes (as defined below) (approximately $600.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), (i) the October 2022 Notes (as defined below) (approximately $182.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016), and (j) the 2047 Notes (as defined below) (approximately $229.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 1, 2016). In addition, we may also use the net proceeds of an offering to fund our cash portion of the merger consideration for the pending American Capital Acquisition. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for more information on the terms of the American Capital Acquisition.

The interest charged on the indebtedness incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR (one-, two-, three- or six-month) plus an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% or an "alternate base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of either 0.75% or 1.00%, in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 1, 2016, one-, two-, three- and six-month LIBOR was 0.47%, 0.56%, 0.68% and 0.99%, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on May 4, 2021. The interest charged on the indebtedness incurred under the Revolving Funding Facility is based on LIBOR plus applicable spreads ranging from 2.25% to 2.50% and ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% over "base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the composition of the borrowing base relative to outstanding borrowings under the facility. The Revolving Funding Facility is scheduled to expire on May 14, 2019 (subject to extension exercisable upon mutual consent). The interest rate charged on the indebtedness incurred under the SMBC Funding Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over a "base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the SMBC Funding Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the amount of the average borrowings outstanding under the SMBC Funding Facility. The SMBC Funding Facility is scheduled to expire on September 14, 2022 (subject to two one-year extension options exercisable upon mutual consent). The interest charged on the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes is as follows: (a) 4.875% in the case of the 2017 Convertible Notes, (b) 4.75% in the case of the 2018 Convertible Notes, (c) 4.375% in the case of the 2019 Convertible Notes, (d) 4.875% in the case of the 2018 Notes, (e) 3.875% in the case of the 2020 Notes, (f) 5.875% in the case of the October 2022 Notes and (g) 6.875% in the case of the 2047 Notes. The 2017 Convertible Notes, the 2018 Convertible Notes and the 2019 Convertible Notes mature on March 15, 2017, January 15, 2018 and January 15, 2019, respectively. The 2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes, the October 2022 Notes and the 2047 Notes mature on November 30, 2018, January 15, 2020, October 1, 2022 and April 15, 2047, respectively. The supplement to this prospectus relating to an offering may more fully identify the use of the proceeds from such offering.

90

We anticipate that substantially all of the net proceeds of an offering of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus and its related prospectus supplement will be used for the above purposes within three months of any such offering, depending on the availability of appropriate investment opportunities consistent with our investment objective, but no longer than within six months of any such offerings.

While our primary focus is to generate current income and capital appreciation through investments in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity securities of eligible portfolio companies, we also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. See "Regulation." Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act. Pending such investments, we will invest a portion of the net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality short-term investments. These securities generally earn yields substantially lower than the income that we anticipate receiving once we are fully invested in accordance with our investment objective. As a result, we may not, for a time, be able to achieve our investment objective and/or we may need to, for a time, decrease the amount of any dividend that we may pay to our stockholders to a level that is substantially lower than the level that we expect to pay when the net proceeds of offerings are fully invested in accordance with our investment objective. If we do not realize yields in excess of our expenses, we may incur operating losses and the market price of our common stock and debt securities may decline. See "Regulation—Temporary Investments" for additional information about temporary investments we may make while waiting to make longer-term investments in pursuit of our investment objective.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the ratios of earnings to fixed charges of the Company, computed as set forth below, were as follows:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2015 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2014 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2013 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2011 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Earnings to Fixed Charges(1) |  |  | 3.7 |  |  | 2.7 | (2) |  | 3.8 | (3) |  | 3.9 |  |  | 4.6 | (4) |  | 3.7 | (5)

For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations plus (or minus) income tax expense (benefit) including excise tax expense plus fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest and credit facility fees expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.

(1)
  Earnings include net realized and unrealized gains or losses and the capital gains incentive fee expense accrued in accordance with GAAP. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses and the capital gains incentive fee expense accrued in accordance with GAAP can vary substantially from period to period.
  •
    Excluding the net realized and unrealized gains or losses and the capital gains incentive fee expense accrued in accordance with GAAP, the earnings to fixed charges ratio would be 3.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, 3.2 for the year ended December 31, 2015, 3.2 for the year ended December 31, 2014, 3.7 for the year ended December 31, 2013, 3.7 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 3.6 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
(2)
  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015 included a net realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $6.6 million.
(3)
  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014 included a net realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million.
(4)
  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 included a net realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million.
(5)
  Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011 included a net realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $19.3 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Condensed Consolidated Financial Data of Ares Capital," the "Unaudited Selected Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data," the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and our and American Capital's financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or the accompanying prospectus supplement.

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition, "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

OVERVIEW

We are a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Investment Company Act").

We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management, a subsidiary of Ares Management, a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to our investment advisory and management agreement. Our administrator, Ares Operations LLC ("Ares Operations" or our "administrator"), a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component like warrants.

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments, of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

Since our initial public offering ("IPO") on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2016, our exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of approximately 13% (based on original cash invested, net of syndications, of approximately $12.5 billion and total proceeds from such exited investments of approximately $15.3 billion). Internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. Internal rate of return is gross of expenses related to investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized. Approximately 69% of these exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of 10% or greater.

Additionally, since our IPO on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2016, our realized gains have exceeded our realized losses by approximately $506 million (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation ("Allied Capital") and realized gains/losses from the

93

extinguishment of debt and from other assets). For this same time period, our average annualized net realized gain rate was approximately 1.1% (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and from other assets). Net realized gain/loss rates for a particular period are the amount of net realized gains/losses during such period divided by the average quarterly investments at amortized cost in such period.

Information included herein regarding internal rates of return, realized gains and losses and annualized net realized gain rates are historical results relating to our past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in "qualifying assets," including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies and certain public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. See "Regulation." Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company, or a "RIC", under the Code, and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay U.S. federal corporate-level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.

Ares Capital Management, our investment adviser, employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. For

97

investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time.

Set forth below is the grade distribution of our portfolio companies as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Senior Direct Lending Program

In December 2015, we established a joint venture with Varagon to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and other partners. The joint venture is called the Senior Direct Lending Program ("the SDLP"). It is expected that the SDLP will commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. We may directly co-invest with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. We will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of the SDLP Certificates, and Varagon and its clients will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. It is expected that we and Varagon will own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of any outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of March 31, 2016, we and Varagon had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $2.9 billion in the aggregate, of which no amounts were funded. The SDLP will be capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of ours and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required). As of March 31, 2016, we had agreed to make available to the SDLP (subject to the approval of the investment committee of the SDLP as described above) approximately $591 million, of which no amounts were committed or funded. The SDLP Certificates will pay a coupon of LIBOR plus a stated spread and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we entered into an agreement with the SDLP to sell certain of our investments to the SDLP at a mutually agreed upon price on a future date. The value of the agreement with the SDLP will change as the fair value of the identified loans changes and as additional loans are added to such agreement. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, for more information on the agreement.

Senior Secured Loan Program

We have co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies with GE through the SSLP. The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of ours and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). We have provided capital to the SSLP in the form of the SSLP Certificates.

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with us in the SSLP, to CPPIB. This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and the Company and GE continue to operate the SSLP. The Company and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, the Company and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments (see below) and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, we were advised that GECC, as the holder of the Senior Notes, directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes us). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide us and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between us and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. We have been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, we are also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that we will pursue any of them.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company and GE had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $7.6 billion and $8.5 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. As discussed above, we anticipate that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that the Company and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the SSLP had commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $145.4 million and $198.6 million, respectively, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $2.0 billion and $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. Additionally, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $23.6 million and $32.6 million, respectively. As discussed above, it is not anticipated that we will make new investments through the SSLP.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the SSLP had total assets of $7.6 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, GE's investment in the SSLP consisted of the Senior Notes of $5.3 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, and SSLP Certificates of $286.3 million and $285.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company and GE owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SSLP Certificates.

The SSLP Certificates pay a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus approximately 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SSLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SSLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the Senior Notes held by GE. We expect that for so long as principal proceeds from SSLP repayments are directed entirely to repay the Senior Notes as discussed above, the yield on the SSLP Certificates will decline.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured loans to U.S. middle-market companies. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of these loans were on non-accrual status. The portfolio companies in the SSLP are in industries similar to the companies in our portfolio.

Below is a summary of the SSLP's portfolio, followed by a listing of the individual first lien senior secured loans in the SSLP's portfolio as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

The amortized cost and fair value of our SSLP Certificates were $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2016, and $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. As described above, the SSLP Certificates pay a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus approximately 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the underlying loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SSLP Certificates that is greater than both the coupon on the SSLP Certificates as well as the weighted average yield on the SSLP's portfolio of 6.8% and 6.7% as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Our yield on our investment in the SSLP at amortized cost and fair value was 11.8% and 12.1%, respectively, as of March 31, 2016, and 12.0% and 12.3%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.

The increase in interest income from investments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the comparable period in 2015 was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio, which increased from an average of $8.6 billion at amortized cost for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to an average of $9.2 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2016. The decrease in capital structuring service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the comparable period in 2015 was primarily due to the decrease in the weighted average capital structuring fees received on new investment commitments, which decreased from 4.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 3.3% in the comparable period in 2016, as well as the decrease in new investment commitments, which decreased from $500.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $470.6 million for the comparable period in 2016. Dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 included dividends received from IHAM, a wholly owned portfolio company, totaling $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The dividends received from IHAM for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included additional dividends of $10.0 million that were paid in addition to the quarterly dividends generally paid by IHAM. IHAM paid the additional dividends out of accumulated earnings that had previously been retained by IHAM. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received $1.4 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2015.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Interest and credit facility fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were comprised of the following:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
(in millions) |  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Stated interest expense |  | $ | 42.5 |  | $ | 47.2 |
Facility fees |  |  | 1.2 |  |  | 2.9 |
Amortization of debt issuance costs |  |  | 3.9 |  |  | 4.4 |

Total interest and credit facility fees |  | $ | 50.2 |  | $ | 58.6 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Stated interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased from the comparable period in 2015 primarily due to the decrease in our weighted average stated interest rate of our debt outstanding, partially offset by an increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding. The weighted average stated interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 5.2% for the comparable period in 2015 primarily as a result of the maturity of the higher cost $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured

106

convertible notes (the "February 2016 Convertible Notes") and increased utilization of the Company's lower cost revolving facilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, our average principal debt outstanding increased to $4.1 billion as compared to $3.6 billion for the comparable period in 2015.

The increase in base management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the comparable period in 2015 was primarily due to the increase in the size of the portfolio. The decrease in income based fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the comparable period in 2015 was primarily due to the decrease in net investment income excluding income based fees and capital gains incentive fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the capital gains incentive fees expense calculated in accordance with GAAP was $3.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the reduction in capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $4.2 million. Capital gains incentive fee expense accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased from the comparable period in 2015 primarily due to net gains on investments, foreign currency and other transactions and the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $18.8 million compared to net losses of $21.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP includes an accrual related to unrealized capital appreciation, whereas the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement does not. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total capital gains incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $46.0 million and $42.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, for more information on the base management fees, income based fees and capital gains incentive fees.

Administrative fees represent fees paid to Ares Operations for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, rent, insurance, depreciation and director's fees, among other costs.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must generally (among other requirements) timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. In order to maintain our RIC status, we have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward such taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. If we determine that our estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year from such income, we accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net expense of $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax.

107

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

The increase in interest income from investments for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio, which increased from an average of $8.1 billion at amortized cost for the year ended December 31, 2014 to an average of $8.6 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease in capital structuring service fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 was primarily due to the decrease in new investment commitments, which decreased from $4.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $3.8 billion for the comparable period in 2015. Dividend income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 included dividends received from IHAM, a wholly owned portfolio company, totaling $50.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. Also during the year ended December 31, 2015, we received $8.9 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $19.0 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease in other income for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 was primarily attributable to lower amendment fees.

The increase in interest income from investments for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio, which increased from an average of $6.7 billion at amortized cost for the year ended December 31, 2013 to an average of $8.1 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2014. The increase in capital structuring service fees for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily due to the increase in new investment commitments, which increased from $4.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $4.6 billion for the comparable period in 2014, as well as the increase in the weighted average capital structuring service fees received on new investment commitments, from 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2013 to 2.5% in the comparable period in 2014. Dividend income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included dividends received from IHAM totaling $50.0 million and $72.4 million, respectively. The dividends received from IHAM for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included additional dividends of $10.0 million and $32.4 million, respectively, that were paid in addition to the quarterly dividends generally paid by IHAM. IHAM paid the additional dividends out of accumulated earnings that had previously been retained by IHAM. Also during the year ended December 31, 2014, we received $19.0 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $9.0 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in management and other fees for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily attributable to higher sourcing and other fees received from the SSLP.

Interest and credit facility fees for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, were comprised of the following:

Stated interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average stated interest rate of our debt outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2015, our average principal debt outstanding increased to $3.7 billion as compared to $3.3 billion for the comparable period in 2014, and the weighted average stated interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 5.3% for the comparable period in 2014.

Stated interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased from the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to the increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average stated interest rate of our debt outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our average principal debt outstanding increased to $3.3 billion as compared to $2.6 billion for the comparable period in 2013, and the weighted average stated interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 5.3% for the comparable period in 2013.

The increase in base management fees and our income based fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 and from the comparable period in 2013 were primarily due to the increases in the size of the portfolio in the case of base management fees and in the case of income based fees, the related increase in net investment income excluding income based fees and capital gains incentive fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the reduction in capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $26.7 million. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the capital gains incentive fee expense accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $29.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Capital gains incentive fee expense accrual for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to net losses on investments, foreign

112

currency and other transactions and the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2015 of $129.1 million compared to net gains of $153.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. Capital gains incentive fee expense accrual for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased from the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to higher net gains on investments and foreign currency transactions, which increased from $58.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 to $153.1 million for the comparable period in 2014. The capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP includes an accrual related to unrealized capital appreciation, whereas the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement does not. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the total capital gains incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $42.3 million, $93.0 million and $80.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, there was no capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement was $24.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, for more information on the base management fees, income based fees and capital gains incentive fees.

Administrative fees represent fees paid to Ares Operations for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, rent, insurance, depreciation and director's fees, among other costs.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must generally (among other requirements) timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. In order to maintain our RIC status, we have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward such taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. If we determine that our estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year from such income, we accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a net expense of $9.0 million, $5.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax. The net expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 each included a reduction in expense related to the recording of a requested refund resulting from the overpayment of the prior year's excise tax of $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $8.8 million, $12.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries. The decrease in income tax expense for our taxable consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily driven by lower realized gains from the exits of certain investments held by such subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in

113

income tax expense for our taxable consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily driven by the realized gains from the exits of certain investments held by such subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Net Realized Gains/Losses

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we had $3.7 billion of sales, repayments or exits of investments resulting in $121.3 million of net realized gains on investments. These sales, repayments or exits included $538.1 million of investments sold to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM. A net realized gain of $0.6 million was recorded on these transactions. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 for more detail on IHAM and its managed vehicles. Net realized gains on investments of $121.3 million were comprised of $125.6 million of gross realized gains and $4.3 million of gross realized losses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of equity and debt securities, advances from the Facilities, net proceeds from the issuance of other securities, including unsecured notes and the SBA Debentures, as well as cash flows from operations.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $77.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.1 billion in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding ($4.0 billion at carrying value). Subject to leverage, borrowing base and other restrictions, we had approximately $0.9 billion available for additional borrowings under the Facilities and the SBA Debentures as of March 31, 2016.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our common stock through cash purchases, as well as retire, cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2016, our asset coverage was 226%.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our total equity market capitalization was $4.7 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively. There were no sales of our equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or during the year ended December 31, 2015.

In September 2015, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below our net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in

118

Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act of. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program will be in effect until September 30, 2016, unless extended or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares and we cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

In connection with our stock repurchase program, in March 2016, we entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase shares of our common stock in accordance with certain parameters set forth in such plan.

See "Recent Developments," as well as Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for more information on the stock repurchase program.

120

$1,935.0 million. The interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over an "alternate base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility.

Revolving Funding Facility

Our consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital CP, is party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the "Revolving Funding Facility"), which allows Ares Capital CP to borrow up to $540.0 million at any one time outstanding.

As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 2.25%. Additionally, Ares Capital CP is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility. As of March 31, 2016, there was $118.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility and we and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%. Additionally, ACJB is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.35% and 0.875% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the SMBC Funding Facility.

SBA Debentures

In April 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, AVF LP, received a license from the SBA to operate as a SBIC under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies, including regulating the types of financings, restricting investments to only include small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries, and requiring capitalization thresholds that may limit distributions to us.

The license from the SBA allows AVF LP to obtain leverage by issuing the SBA Debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. Leverage through the SBA Debentures is subject to required capitalization thresholds. Current SBA regulations limit the amount that any SBIC may borrow to $150.0 million and as of March 31, 2016, the amount of the SBA Debentures committed to AVF LP by the SBA was $75.0 million. The SBA Debentures are non-recourse to us, have interest payable semi-annually, have a ten-year maturity and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP had $25.0 million of the SBA Debentures issued and outstanding, which mature between September 2025 and March 2026. AVF LP is subject to an annual periodic examination by an SBA examiner to determine AVF LP's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) by an independent auditor. As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP was in compliance in all material respects with SBA regulatory requirements.

The interest rate for the SBA Debentures is fixed at the time the SBA Debentures and other applicable issued SBA- guaranteed debentures can be pooled and sold to the public and is based on a spread over U.S. treasury notes with ten-year maturities. The pooling of newly issued SBA-guaranteed debentures occurs twice per year. The spread includes an annual charge as determined by the SBA (the "Annual Charge") as well as a market-driven component. Prior to the ten-year fixed interest rate being determined, the interest rate charged for the SBA Debentures is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 0.30% and the Annual Charge. As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate in effect for the SBA Debentures was 3.48%.

Convertible Unsecured Notes

In February 2016, we repaid in full the $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of the February 2016 Convertible Notes.

We have issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on June 1, 2016 (the "June 2016 Convertible Notes"), $162.5 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on March 15, 2017 (the "2017 Convertible Notes"), $270.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on January 15, 2018 (the "2018 Convertible Notes") and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on January 15, 2019 (the "2019 Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature upon their respective maturity dates unless previously converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. We do not have the right to redeem the Convertible Unsecured Notes prior to maturity. The June 2016 Convertible Notes, the 2017 Convertible Notes, the 2018 Convertible Notes and the 2019 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.125% , 4.875%, 4.750% and 4.375%, respectively, per year, payable semi-annually.

In certain circumstances, the Convertible Unsecured Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, at their respective conversion rates (listed below as of March 31, 2016) subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and the requirements of their respective indenture (the "Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures"). To the extent the June 2016 Convertible Unsecured Notes are converted, we have elected to settle with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Prior to the close of business on

122

the business day immediately preceding their respective conversion date (listed below), holders may convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes only under certain circumstances set forth in the respective Convertible Unsecured Notes Indenture. On or after their respective conversion dates until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding their respective maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes at any time. In addition, if we engage in certain corporate events as described in their respective Convertible Unsecured Notes Indenture, holders of the Convertible Unsecured Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of the Convertible Unsecured Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Unsecured Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the required repurchase date.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have various commitments to fund investments in our portfolio, as described below.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) our discretion:

|  | As of |
--- | --- | --- | ---
(in millions) |  | March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |
Total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 355.4 |  | $ | 418.9 |
Less: drawn commitments |  |  | (70.8 | ) |  | (122.9 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total undrawn commitments |  |  | 284.6 |  |  | 296.0 |
Less: commitments substantially at our discretion |  |  | (6.8 | ) |  | (6.0 | )
Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions |  |  | — |  |  | — |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total net adjusted undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 277.8 |  | $ | 290.0 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were delayed draw loan commitments totaling $137.5 million and $148.6 million, respectively. Our commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions. Generally, the most significant and uncertain term requires the borrower to satisfy a specific use of proceeds covenant. The use of proceeds covenant typically requires the borrower to use the additional loans for the specific purpose of a permitted acquisition or permitted investment, for example. In addition to the use of proceeds covenant, the borrower is generally required to satisfy additional negotiated covenants (including specified leverage levels).

Also included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of March 31, 2016 were commitments to issue up to $45.2 million in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, we had $13.8 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of the portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, we would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of these letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on our balance sheet as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company. Of these letters of credit, $12.8 million expire in 2016 and $1.0 million expire in 2017.

We also have commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain portfolio companies of the SSLP. See "Senior Secured Loan Program" above and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for more information.

125

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we were party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:

|  | As of |
--- | --- | --- | ---
(in millions) |  | March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |
Total private equity commitments |  | $ | 107.0 |  | $ | 107.0 |
Less: funded private equity commitments |  |  | (21.1 | ) |  | (20.9 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total unfunded private equity commitments |  |  | 85.9 |  |  | 86.1 |
Less: private equity commitments substantially at our discretion |  |  | (84.5 | ) |  | (84.6 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total net adjusted unfunded private equity commitments |  | $ | 1.4 |  | $ | 1.5 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

In the ordinary course of business, we may sell certain of our investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales), we have, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

American Capital Acquisition

On May 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital in a cash and stock transaction. American Capital is an internally managed closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act.

While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed at all, we expect to complete the American Capital Acquisition as early as the fourth quarter of 2016. The completion of the American Capital Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, American Capital stockholder approval, Ares Capital stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, receipt of certain third party consents, and other customary closing conditions.

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a more detailed description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition, "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, we entered into an agreement with our investment adviser, dated May 23, 2016, pursuant to which our investment adviser will (i) provide $275 million of cash consideration payable to American Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing and (ii) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under our investment advisory and management agreement.

Other Recent Developments

In April 2016, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility that, among other things, (a) extended the expiration of the revolving period for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2019 to May 4, 2020, during which period we, subject to certain conditions, may make borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, (b) extended the stated maturity date for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2020 to May 4, 2021, (c) permitted certain lenders electing not to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $70 million to remain subject to the existing revolving period and stated maturity in respect of their non-extending commitments, and (d) modified the debt and lien provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) expand the types of additional debt that may be secured by certain assets of ours on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, and (ii) increase the amount of additional secured debt permitted to be incurred by us, subject to certain conditions. The size of the Revolving Credit Facility is $1.265 billion following the amendment and restatement thereof. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an "accordion" feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility by an amount up to $632.5 million.

In April 2016, our board of directors authorized an extension of our stock repurchase program through February 28, 2017. Our stock repurchase program was set to expire on September 30, 2016. Under the stock repurchase program, we may repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that meets certain thresholds below its net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. As of March 31, 2016, we had repurchased a total of 514,677 shares of our common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since its inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $92.8 million available for additional repurchases under the program.

In May 2016, in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, we suspended our stock repurchase program pending the completion of the Merger Agreement.

In June 2016, we repaid in full the $230 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the June 2016 Convertible Notes upon their maturity. We used amounts available under our revolving credit facilities to repay the June 2016 Convertible Notes.

In June 2016, we, our investment adviser, Ares Venture Finance GP LLC and AVF LP received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to modify the asset coverage requirements to exclude the SBA Debentures from this calculation. As such, our ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 200%. This exemptive relief provides us with increased investment flexibility but also increases our risk related to leverage.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP, and include the accounts of ours and our consolidated subsidiaries. We are an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in ASC 946. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial

127

condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period's results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 55% of our portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, our investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets, which may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase

128

transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

Our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•
  Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.
•
  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with our investment adviser's management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to our board of directors.
•
  The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms, who review a minimum of 55% of our portfolio at fair value.
•
  Our board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for more information on our valuation process.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

129

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

We have loans in our portfolio that contain PIK provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain our status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though we have not yet collected the cash.

Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income

Our investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to our portfolio companies and in return we may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to us as a result of our underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that our investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to us. In certain instances where we are invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and do not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to us in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan.

Other income includes fees for management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by us to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)
  Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
(2)
  Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Derivative Instruments

We do not utilize hedge accounting and as such we value our derivatives at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" in our consolidated statement of operations.

130

Equity Offering Expenses

Our offering costs, excluding underwriters' fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method or the effective yield method, depending on the type of debt instrument.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of- income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. We (among other requirements) have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

Dividends to Common Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by our board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not "opted out" of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as we are trading at a premium to net asset value). If our shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we may purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan. However, we reserve the right to issue new shares of our common stock in connection with our obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if our shares are trading below net asset value.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and

131

expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new guidance modifies the consolidation analysis for limited partnerships and similar type entities as well as variable interests in a variable interest entity, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. Additionally, it provides a scope exception to the consolidation guidance for certain entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 as of March 31, 2016 and there was no material impact of adopting this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance modifies the requirements for reporting debt issuance costs. Under the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will no longer be recorded as a separate asset, but will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU No. 2015-03. In addition, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). The additional guidance reiterates that the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings. ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 are required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 as of March 31, 2016. Prior to ASU No. 2015-03, deferred debt issuance costs related to term debt were reported on the balance sheet as other assets and amortized as interest expense. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been adjusted to apply the change in accounting principle retrospectively. There is no effect on the statement of operations as a result of the change in accounting principle. Debt issuance costs related to term debt of $24.5 million previously reported within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 had no impact on the presentation or amortization of the debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving credit facilities.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The new guidance removed the requirement that investments for which net asset value is determined based on practical expedient reliance be reported utilizing the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2015-07 is required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-07 as of March 31, 2016, and thereby removed any investments valued in this manner from the fair value disclosures. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for more information regarding the impact on the fair value disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,

132

including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations", which clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 and has the same effective date as the original standard. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, "Leases." Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of March 31, 2016, 80% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio bore interest at variable rates, 10% bore interest at fixed rates, 9% were non-interest earning and 1% were on non-accrual status. Additionally, for the variable rate investments, 73% of these investments contained interest rate floors (representing 59% of total investments at fair value). Also, as of March 31, 2016, all the loans made through the SSLP contained interest rate floors. The Facilities all bear interest at variable rates with no interest rate floors, while the SBA Debentures, the Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Unsecured Notes bear interest at fixed rates.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk.

133

Based on our March 31, 2016, balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

(in millions) Basis Point Change |  | Interest Income |  | Interest Expense |  | Net Income(1) |

(1)
  Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at principal value at the end of the period presented.
(2)
  The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by total senior securities representing indebtedness. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by $1,000 to determine the "Asset Coverage Per Unit" (including for the February 2022 Notes, the October 2022 Notes, the 2040 Notes and the 2047 Notes, which were issued in $25 increments). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. In particular, unamortized debt issuance costs were previously included in other assets and were reclassified to long-term debt as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs during the first quarter of 2016.

  Not applicable, except for with respect to the 2011 Notes, the 2012 Notes, the February 2022 Notes, the October 2022 Notes, the 2040 Notes and the 2047 Notes, as other senior securities are not registered for public trading on a stock exchange. The average market value per unit for each of the 2011 Notes, the 2012 Notes, the February 2022 Notes, the October 2022 Notes, the 2040 Notes and the 2047 Notes is based on the average daily prices of such notes and is expressed per $1,000 of indebtedness (including for the February 2022 Notes, the October 2022 Notes, the 2040 Notes and the 2047 Notes, which were issued in $25 increments).

BUSINESS

Ares Capital

Ares Capital, a Maryland corporation, is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. We were founded on April 16, 2004, were initially funded on June 23, 2004 and completed our initial public offering on October 8, 2004. We are one of the largest BDCs with approximately $9.4 billion of total assets as of March 31, 2016.

We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, a subsidiary of Ares Management, a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager. Our administrator, Ares Operations, a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, where we believe the supply of primary capital is limited and the investment opportunities are most attractive. However, we may from time to time invest in larger or smaller (in particular, for investments in early-stage and/or venture capital-backed) companies. We generally use the term "middle-market" to refer to companies with annual EBITDA between $10 million and $250 million. As used herein, EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. First and second lien senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt of a given portfolio company. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. Our investments in corporate borrowers generally range between $30 million and $500 million each, investments in project finance/power generation projects generally range between $10 million and $200 million each and investments in early-stage and/or venture capital-backed companies generally range between $1 million and $25 million each. However, the investment sizes may be more or less than these ranges and may vary based on, among other things, our capital availability, the composition of our portfolio and general micro- and macro-economic factors.

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

The proportion of these types of investments will change over time given our views on, among other things, the economic and credit environment in which we are operating. In connection with our investing activities, we may make commitments with respect to indebtedness or securities of a potential portfolio company substantially in excess of our final investment. In such situations, while we may initially agree to fund up to a certain dollar amount of an investment, we may subsequently syndicate or sell a portion of such amount (including, without limitation, to vehicles managed by our portfolio company, IHAM), such that we are left with a smaller investment than what was reflected in our original commitment. In addition to originating investments, we may also acquire investments in the secondary market (including purchases of a portfolio of investments).

The first and second lien senior secured loans in which we invest generally have stated terms of three to 10 years and the mezzanine debt investments in which we invest generally have stated terms of up to 10 years, but the expected average life of such first and second lien loans and mezzanine debt is generally between three and seven years. However, we may invest in loans and securities with any maturity or duration. The instruments in which we invest typically are not rated by any rating agency,

138

but we believe that if such instruments were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than "Baa3" by Moody's Investors Service, lower than "BBB–" by Fitch Ratings or lower than "BBB–" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services), which, under the guidelines established by these entities, is an indication of having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Bonds that are rated below investment grade are sometimes referred to as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds." We may invest without limit in debt or other securities of any rating, as well as debt or other securities that have not been rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

We believe that our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, is able to leverage the current investment platform, resources and existing relationships of Ares Management with financial sponsors, financial institutions, hedge funds and other investment firms to provide us with attractive investment opportunities. In addition to deal flow, the Ares investment platform assists our investment adviser in analyzing, structuring and monitoring investments. Ares has been in existence for over 15 years and its partners have an average of over 24 years of experience in leveraged finance, private equity, distressed debt, commercial real estate finance, investment banking and capital markets. We have access to Ares' investment professionals and administrative professionals, who provide assistance in accounting, finance, legal, compliance, operations, information technology and investor relations. As of March 31, 2016, Ares had approximately 340 investment professionals and approximately 525 administrative professionals.

Ares Management, L.P.

Ares is a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager. As of March 31, 2016, Ares had approximately 870 employees in over 15 principal and originating offices across the United States, Europe and Asia. Since its inception in 1997, Ares has adhered to a disciplined investment philosophy that focuses on delivering strong risk-adjusted investment returns throughout market cycles. Ares believes each of its three distinct but complementary investment groups in Credit, Private Equity and Real Estate is a market leader based on investment performance. Ares was built upon the fundamental principle that each group benefits from being part of the greater whole.

Ares Capital Management LLC

Ares Capital Management, our investment adviser, is served by an origination, investment and portfolio management team of approximately 80 U.S.-based investment professionals as of March 31, 2016 and led by certain partners of the Ares Credit Group: Michael Arougheti, Kipp deVeer, Mitchell Goldstein and Michael Smith. Ares Capital Management leverages off of Ares' investment platform and benefits from the significant capital markets, trading and research expertise of Ares' investment professionals. Ares Capital Management's investment committee has 12 members comprised of certain of the U.S.-based partners of the Ares Credit Group and certain partners in the Ares Private Equity Group.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

We believe that current market conditions present attractive opportunities for us to invest in middle-market companies, specifically:

•
  We believe that many commercial and investment banks have, in recent years, de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle-market businesses in favor of lending to large corporate clients and managing capital markets transactions. In addition, these lenders may be constrained in their ability to underwrite and hold bank loans and high yield securities for middle-market issuers as they seek to meet existing and future regulatory capital requirements. These factors may result in opportunities for alternative

139

funding sources to middle-market companies and therefore more new-issue market opportunities for us.

•
  We believe that the disruption and volatility in the credit markets between 2008 and 2009 reduced capital available to certain specialty finance companies and other capital providers, causing a reduction in competition. While market conditions have largely recovered from the events of 2008 and 2009, there have been continuing periods of volatility, some lasting longer than others. These market conditions may continue to create opportunities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns.
•
  We believe that there is a lack of market participants that are willing to hold meaningful amounts of certain middle-market loans. As a result, we believe our ability to minimize syndication risk for a company seeking financing by being able to hold our loans without having to syndicate them is a competitive advantage.
•
  We believe that middle-market companies have faced difficulty in raising debt through the capital markets. This approach to financing may become more difficult to the extent institutional investors seek to invest in larger, more liquid offerings, leaving less competition and fewer financing alternatives for middle-market companies.
•
  We believe there is a large pool of un-invested private equity capital for middle-market businesses. We expect private equity firms will seek to leverage their investments by combining equity capital with senior secured loans and mezzanine debt from other sources such as us.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

We believe that we have the following competitive advantages over other capital providers to middle-market companies:

The Ares Platform

Ares operates three distinct but complementary investment groups, including the Ares Credit Group, the Ares Private Equity Group and the Ares Real Estate Group. We believe Ares' current investment platform provides a competitive advantage in terms of access to origination and marketing activities and diligence for us. In particular, we believe that the Ares platform provides us with an advantage through its deal flow generation and investment evaluation process. Ares' asset management platform also provides additional market information, company knowledge and industry insight that benefit our investment and due diligence process. Ares' professionals maintain extensive financial sponsor and intermediary relationships, which provide valuable insight and access to transactions and information.

Seasoned Management Team

The investment professionals in the Ares Credit Group and members of our investment adviser's investment committee also have significant experience investing across market cycles. This experience also provides us with a competitive advantage in identifying, originating, investing in and managing a portfolio of investments in middle-market companies.

Broad Origination Strategy

We focus on self-originating most of our investments by pursuing a broad array of investment opportunities in middle-market companies, venture capital backed businesses and power generation projects across multiple channels. We also leverage off of the extensive relationships of the broader Ares platform, including relationships with the portfolio companies in the IHAM Vehicles, to identify

140

investment opportunities. We believe that this allows for asset selectivity and that there is a significant relationship between proprietary deal origination and credit performance. We believe that our focus on generating proprietary deal flow and lead investing also gives us greater control over capital structure, deal terms, pricing and documentation and enables us to actively manage our portfolio investments. Moreover, by leading the investment process, we are often able to secure controlling positions in credit tranches, thereby providing additional control in investment outcomes. We also have originated substantial proprietary deal flow from middle-market intermediaries, which often allows us to act as the sole or principal source of institutional capital to the borrower.

Scale and Flexible Transaction Structuring

We believe that being one of the largest BDCs makes us a more desirable and flexible capital provider, especially in competitive markets. We are flexible with the types of investments we make and the terms associated with those investments. We believe this approach and experience enables our investment adviser to identify attractive investment opportunities throughout economic cycles and across a company's capital structure so we can make investments consistent with our stated investment objective and preserve principal while seeking appropriate risk adjusted returns. In addition, we have the flexibility to provide "one stop" financing with the ability to invest capital across the balance sheet and syndicate and hold larger investments than many of our competitors. We believe that the ability to underwrite, syndicate and hold larger investments benefits our stockholders by (a) potentially increasing net income and earnings through syndication, (b) increasing originated deal flow flexibility, (c) broadening market relationships and deal flow, (d) allowing us to optimize our portfolio composition and (e) allowing us to provide capital to a broader spectrum of middle-market companies, which we believe currently have limited access to capital from traditional lending sources. In addition, we believe that the ability to provide capital at every level of the balance sheet provides a strong value proposition to middle-market borrowers and our senior debt capabilities provide superior deal origination and relative value analysis capabilities compared to traditional "mezzanine only" lenders.

Experience with and Focus on Middle-Market Companies

Ares has historically focused on investments in middle-market companies and we benefit from this experience. In sourcing and analyzing deals, our investment adviser benefits from Ares' extensive network of relationships focused on middle-market companies, including management teams, members of the investment banking community, private equity groups and other investment firms with whom Ares has had long-term relationships. We believe this network enables us to identify well-positioned prospective portfolio company investments. The Ares Credit Group works closely with Ares' other investment professionals. As of March 31, 2016, Ares oversaw a portfolio of investments in approximately 1,000 companies, approximately 495 structured assets and approximately 155 properties across over 50 industries, which provides access to an extensive network of relationships and insights into industry trends and the state of the capital markets.

Disciplined Investment Philosophy

In making its investment decisions, our investment adviser has adopted Ares' long-standing, consistent, credit-based investment approach that was developed over 15 years ago by its founders. Specifically, our investment adviser's investment philosophy, portfolio construction and portfolio management involve an assessment of the overall macroeconomic environment and financial markets and company-specific research and analysis. Its investment approach emphasizes capital preservation, low volatility and minimization of downside risk. In addition to engaging in extensive due diligence from the perspective of a long-term investor, our investment adviser's approach seeks to reduce risk in investments by focusing on:

•
  businesses with strong franchises and sustainable competitive advantages;

141

•
  industries with positive long-term dynamics;
•
  businesses and industries with cash flows that are dependable and predictable;
•
  management teams with demonstrated track records and appropriate economic incentives;
•
  rates of return commensurate with the perceived risks;
•
  securities or investments that are structured with appropriate terms and covenants; and
•
  businesses backed by experienced private equity sponsors.

Extensive Industry Focus

We seek to concentrate our investing activities in industries with a history of predictable and dependable cash flows and in which the Ares investment professionals have had extensive investment experience. Ares investment professionals have developed long-term relationships with management teams and management consultants in over 50 industries, and have accumulated substantial information and identified potential trends within these industries. In turn, we benefit from these relationships, information and identification of potential trends in making investments.

OPERATING AND REGULATORY STRUCTURE

Our investment activities are managed by our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, which is a subsidiary of Ares, and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of Ares and its affiliates. Ares Capital Management is registered under the Advisers Act. Under our investment advisory and management agreement, we have agreed to pay Ares Capital Management base management fees, income based fees and capital gains incentive fees. See "Management—Investment Advisory and Management Agreement." Ares Operations provides us with certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate pursuant to our administration agreement. See "Management—Administration Agreement."

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For example, we are not generally permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which a fund managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates (other than us and our downstream affiliates) currently has an investment. However, we may co-invest with funds managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of co-investment transactions would only be permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, for which we have applied. Any such order will be subject to certain terms and conditions. Further there is no assurance that this application for exemptive relief will be granted by the SEC.

Also, while we may borrow funds to make investments, our ability to use debt is limited in certain significant aspects. In particular, BDCs must have at least 200% asset coverage calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act (i.e., we are permitted to borrow one dollar for every dollar we have in assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities issued by us) in order to issue senior securities, which requires us to finance our investments with at least as much equity as senior securities in the aggregate. Certain of our credit facilities also require that we maintain asset coverage of at least 200%.

In addition, as a consequence of us being a RIC under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our asset growth is dependent on our ability to raise equity capital through the issuance of common stock. RICs generally must distribute substantially all of their investment company taxable income (as defined under the Code) to stockholders as dividends in order to preserve their status as a RIC and not to be subject to additional U.S. federal corporate-level taxes. This requirement, in turn,

142

generally prevents us from using our earnings to support our operations, including making new investments.

INVESTMENTS

Ares Capital Corporation Portfolio

We have built an investment portfolio of primarily first and second lien senior secured loans, mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity investments in private middle-market companies. Our portfolio is well diversified by industry sector and its concentration to any single issuer is limited.

Our debt investments in corporate borrowers generally range between $30 million and $500 million each, investments in project finance/power generation projects generally range between $10 million and $200 million each and investments in early-stage and/or venture capital-backed companies generally range between $1 million and $25 million each. However, the sizes of our investments may be more or less than these ranges and may vary based on, among other things, our capital availability, the composition of our portfolio and general micro- and macro-economic factors.

Our preferred and/or common equity investments have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

In addition, the proportion of these types of investments will change over time given our views on, among other things, the economic and credit environment in which we are operating. In connection with our investing activities, we may make commitments with respect to indebtedness or securities of a potential portfolio company substantially in excess of our expected final hold size. In such situations, while we may initially agree to fund up to a certain dollar amount of an investment, we may subsequently syndicate a portion of such amount such that we are left with a smaller investment than what was reflected in our original commitment. We may also syndicate a "first out" loan to an investor and retain a "last out" loan, in which case the "first out" loan will generally receive priority with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. In addition to originating investments, we may also acquire investments in the secondary market (including purchases of a portfolio of investments).

We make senior secured loans primarily in the form of first lien loans (including unitranche loans) and second lien loans. Our senior secured loans generally have terms of three to 10 years. In connection with our senior secured loans we generally receive a security interest in certain of the assets of the borrower and consequently such assets serve as collateral in support of the repayment of such senior secured loans. Senior secured loans are generally exposed to the least amount of credit risk because they typically hold a senior position with respect to scheduled interest and principal payments and security interests in assets of the borrower. However, unlike mezzanine debt, senior secured loans typically do not receive any stock, warrants to purchase stock or other yield enhancements. Senior secured loans may include both revolving lines of credit and term loans.

Structurally, mezzanine debt usually ranks subordinate in priority of payment to senior secured loans and is often unsecured. However, mezzanine debt ranks senior to preferred and common equity in a borrower's capital structure. Mezzanine debt investments generally offer lenders fixed returns in the form of interest payments and will often provide lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of an equity co-investment and/or warrants. Due to its higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior secured loans, mezzanine debt generally bears a higher stated interest rate than senior secured loans. The equity co-investment and warrants (if any) associated with a mezzanine debt investment typically allow lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Equity issued in connection

143

with mezzanine debt also may include a "put" feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed formula.

In making an equity investment, in addition to considering the factors discussed under "—Investment Selection" below, we also consider the anticipated timing of a liquidity event, such as a public offering, sale of the company or redemption of our equity securities.

While our primary focus is to generate current income and capital appreciation through investments in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity securities of eligible portfolio companies, we also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. See "—Regulation" below. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Staff informally communicated to certain BDCs the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under the Investment Company Act) (i.e., not eligible to be included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the SEC issued the Concept Release which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company." We provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continue to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, we have, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of our portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SDLP and the SSLP, as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with our position.

Co-Investment Programs

Senior Direct Lending Program

In December 2015, we established a joint venture with Varagon to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and other partners. The joint venture is called the SDLP. It is expected that the SDLP will commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. We may directly co-invest with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. We will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of the SDLP Certificates, and Varagon and its clients will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. It is expected that we and Varagon will own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of any outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of March 31, 2016, we and Varagon had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $2.9 billion in the aggregate, of which no amounts were funded. The SDLP will be capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of ours and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required). As of March 31, 2016, we had

144

agreed to make available to the SDLP (subject to the approval of the investment committee of the SDLP as described above) approximately $591 million, of which no amounts were committed or funded. The SDLP Certificates will pay a coupon of LIBOR plus a stated spread and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

Senior Secured Loan Program

We and GE have co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies through the SSLP. The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of ours and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). We have provided capital to the SSLP in the form the SSLP Certificates.

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with us in the SSLP, to CPPIB. This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and we and GE continue to operate the SSLP. We and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, we and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments (see below) and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, we were advised that GECC, as the holder of the Senior Notes, directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes us). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide us and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between us and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. We have been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, we are also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that we will pursue any of them.

As of March 31, 2016, we and GE had funded approximately $7.6 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. As discussed above, we anticipate that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that we and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, the SSLP had commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $145.4 million, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above. As of March 31, 2016, we had funded approximately $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. Additionally, as of March 31, 2016, we had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $23.6 million. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the SSLP Certificates held by us was $1.9 billion at fair value (including unrealized depreciation of $48.7 million), which represented approximately 21% of our total portfolio at fair value. As of March 31, 2016, the SSLP had 38 different underlying borrowers. For

145

more information on the SSLP, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Portfolio and Investment Activity—Senior Secured Loan Program."

Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P.

As of March 31, 2016, our portfolio company, IHAM, an SEC registered investment adviser, managed 16 vehicles and served as the sub-manager/sub-servicer for three other vehicles. As of March 31, 2016, IHAM had assets under management of approximately $3.6 billion. As of March 31, 2016, the amortized cost and fair value of our investment in IHAM was $171.0 million and $232.9 million, respectively. In connection with IHAM's registration as a registered investment adviser, on March 30, 2012, we received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to, subject to certain conditions, own directly or indirectly up to 100% of IHAM's outstanding equity interests and make additional investments in IHAM. From time to time, IHAM or certain IHAM Vehicles may purchase investments from us or sell investments to us, in each case for a price equal to the fair market value of such investments determined at the time of such transactions. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 for more information about IHAM.

  Includes the Company's investment in the SSLP, which represented 20.8% and 20.8% of the total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, 1.3% of total investments at amortized cost (or 0.6% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2015, 2.6% of total investments at amortized cost (or 1.7% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status.

Since our IPO on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2016, our exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of approximately 13% (based on original cash invested, net of syndications, of approximately $12.5 billion and total proceeds from such exited

147

investments of approximately $15.3 billion). Approximately 69% of these exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return to us of 10% or greater.

The aggregate cash flow realized internal rate of return, original cash invested, net of syndications, and total proceeds, in each case from exited investments, are listed below from our initial public offering on October 8, 2004 through the end of each period shown below.

(1)
  Internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. Internal rate of return is gross of expenses related to investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized.

Additionally, since our IPO on October 8, 2004 through March 31, 2016, our realized gains have exceeded our realized losses by approximately $506 million (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and from other assets). For this same time period, our average annualized net realized gain rate was approximately 1.1% (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and from other assets). Net realized gain/loss rates for a particular period are the amount of net realized gains/losses during such period divided by the average quarterly investments at amortized cost in such period.

Information included herein regarding internal rates of return, realized gains and losses and annualized net realized gain rates are historical results relating to our past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

INVESTMENT SELECTION

Ares' investment philosophy was developed over 15 years ago and has remained consistent and relevant throughout a number of economic cycles. We are managed using a similar investment philosophy used by the investment professionals of Ares in respect of its other investment funds.

This investment philosophy involves, among other things:

•
  an assessment of the overall macroeconomic environment and financial markets and how such assessment may impact industry and asset selection;
•
  company-specific research and analysis; and
•
  with respect to each individual company, an emphasis on capital preservation, low volatility and minimization of downside risk.

The foundation of Ares' investment philosophy is intensive credit investment analysis, a portfolio management discipline based on both market technicals and fundamental value-oriented research, and diversification strategy. We follow a rigorous investment process based on:

•
  a comprehensive analysis of issuer creditworthiness, including a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the issuer's business;
•
  an evaluation of management and its economic incentives;
•
  an analysis of business strategy and industry trends; and
•
  an in-depth examination of capital structure, financial results and projections.

148

We seek to identify those companies exhibiting superior fundamental risk-reward profiles and strong defensible business franchises while focusing on the relative value of the investment across the industry as well as for the specific company.

Intensive Due Diligence

The process through which an investment decision is made involves extensive research into the target company, its industry, its growth prospects and its ability to withstand adverse conditions. If the senior investment professional responsible for the potential transaction determines that an investment opportunity should be pursued, we will engage in an intensive due diligence process. Approximately 30-40% of the investments initially reviewed by us proceed to this phase. Though each transaction will involve a somewhat different approach, the regular due diligence steps generally undertaken include:

•
  meeting with the target company's management team to get a detailed review of the business, and to probe for potential weaknesses in business prospects;
•
  checking management's backgrounds and references;
•
  performing a detailed review of historical financial performance, including performance through various economic cycles, and the quality of earnings;
•
  reviewing both short and long term projections of the business, and sensitizing them for both upside and downside risk;
•
  visiting headquarters and company operations and meeting with top and middle-level executives;
•
  contacting customers and vendors to assess both business prospects and standard practices;
•
  conducting a competitive analysis, and comparing the issuer to its main competitors on an operating, financial, market share and valuation basis;
•
  researching the industry for historic growth trends and future prospects as well as to identify future exit alternatives (including available Wall Street research, industry association literature and general news);
•
  assessing asset value and the ability of physical infrastructure and information systems to handle anticipated growth; and
•
  investigating legal risks and financial and accounting systems.

Selective Investment Process

After an investment has been identified and preliminary diligence has been completed, a credit research and analysis report is prepared. This report is reviewed by the senior investment professional in charge of the potential investment. If such senior and other investment professionals are in favor of the potential investment, then it is first presented to an underwriting committee, which is comprised of certain senior members of the Ares Credit Group.

After the investment is approved by the underwriting committee, a more extensive due diligence process is employed by the transaction team. Additional due diligence with respect to any investment may be conducted on our behalf by attorneys, independent accountants, and other third party consultants and research firms prior to the closing of the investment, as appropriate on a case-by-case basis. Approximately 7-10% of all investments initially reviewed by us will be presented to the investment committee. Approval of an investment for funding requires the approval of the majority of the investment committee of our investment adviser, although unanimous consent is sought.

149

Issuance of Formal Commitment

Once we have determined that a prospective portfolio company is suitable for investment, we work with the management and/or sponsor of that company and its other capital providers, including senior, junior and equity capital providers, if any, to finalize the structure of the investment. Approximately 5-7% of the investments initially reviewed by us eventually result in the issuance of formal commitments and the closing of such transactions.

Debt Investments

We invest in portfolio companies primarily in the form of first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt. The first and second lien senior secured loans generally have terms of three to 10 years. In connection with our first and second lien senior secured loans we generally receive security interests in certain assets of our portfolio companies that could serve as collateral in support of the repayment of such loans. First and second lien senior secured loans generally have floating interest rates, which may have LIBOR floors, and also may provide for some amortization of principal and excess cash flow payments, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity.

We structure our mezzanine investments primarily as unsecured subordinated loans that provide for relatively higher fixed interest rates. The mezzanine debt investments generally have terms of up to 10 years. These loans typically have interest-only payments, with amortization of principal, if any, deferred to the later years of the mezzanine investment. In some cases, we may enter into loans that, by their terms, convert into equity or additional debt or defer payments of interest (or at least cash interest) for the first few years after our investment. Also, in some cases our mezzanine debt will be secured by a subordinated lien on some or all of the assets of the borrower.

In some cases, our debt investments may provide for a portion of the interest payable to be PIK interest. To the extent interest is PIK, it will be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the loan by the amount of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of such loan.

In the case of our first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, we tailor the terms of the investment to the facts and circumstances of the transaction and the prospective portfolio company, negotiating a structure that aims to protect our rights and manage our risk while creating incentives for the portfolio company to achieve its business plan and improve its profitability. For example, in addition to seeking a senior position in the capital structure of our portfolio companies, we will seek, where appropriate, to limit the downside potential of our investments by:

•
  targeting a total return on our investments (including both interest and potential equity appreciation) that compensates us for credit risk;
•
  incorporating "put" rights, call protection and LIBOR floors for floating rate loans, into the investment structure; and
•
  negotiating covenants in connection with our investments that afford our portfolio companies as much flexibility in managing their businesses as possible, consistent with preservation of our capital. Such restrictions may include affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties, lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights, including either observation or participation rights.

We generally require financial covenants and terms that require an issuer to reduce leverage, thereby enhancing credit quality. These methods include: (a) maintenance leverage covenants requiring a decreasing ratio of indebtedness to cash flow over time, (b) maintenance cash flow covenants requiring an increasing ratio of cash flow to the sum of interest expense and capital expenditures and

150

(c) indebtedness incurrence prohibitions, limiting a company's ability to take on additional indebtedness. In addition, by including limitations on asset sales and capital expenditures we may be able to prevent a borrower from changing the nature of its business or capitalization without our consent.

Our debt investments may include equity features, such as warrants or options to buy a minority interest in the portfolio company. Warrants we receive with our debt investments may require only a nominal cost to exercise, and thus, as a portfolio company appreciates in value, we may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. We may structure the warrants to provide provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder, as well as puts, or rights to sell such securities back to the portfolio company, upon the occurrence of specified events. In many cases, we also obtain registration rights in connection with these equity interests, which may include demand and "piggyback" registration rights.

Equity Investments

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES

We believe the recent volatility in the credit markets has increased the likelihood of further consolidation in our industry. To that end, in addition to the American Capital Acquisition, we are evaluating (and expect to continue to evaluate in the future) a number of additional potential strategic opportunities, including acquisitions of:

•
  asset portfolios;
•
  other private and public finance companies, business development companies and asset managers; and
•
  selected secondary market assets.

In this regard, on May 23, 2016 we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital in a cash and stock transaction. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for more information.

We have been in, and from time to time may engage in, discussions with counterparties in respect of various potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions, including potential acquisitions of other finance companies, business development companies and asset managers. Some of these transactions could be material to our business and, if completed, could be difficult to integrate, result in increased leverage or dilution and/or subject us to unexpected liabilities. However, other than in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, none of these discussions has progressed to the point at which the completion of any such transaction could be deemed to be probable or reasonably certain as of the date of this prospectus. Completion of any such transaction would be subject to completion of due diligence, finalization of key business and financial terms (including price) and negotiation of final definitive documentation as well as a number of other factors and conditions including, without limitation, the approval of our board of directors, any required third party consents and, in certain cases, the approval of our stockholders. We cannot predict how quickly the terms of any such transaction could be finalized, if at all. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such transaction would be completed. In connection with evaluating potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions, we have, and may in the future, incur significant expenses for the evaluation and due diligence investigation of these potential transactions.

ON-GOING RELATIONSHIPS WITH AND MONITORING OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

We closely monitor each investment we make, maintain a regular dialogue with both the management team and other stakeholders and seek specifically tailored financial reporting. In addition, senior investment professionals may take board seats or obtain board observation rights in connection with our portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, of our 220 portfolio companies, we were entitled to board seats or board observation rights on 37% of these companies and these companies represented approximately 63% of our portfolio at fair value.

We seek to exert significant influence post-investment, in addition to covenants and other contractual rights and through board participation, when appropriate, by actively working with management on strategic initiatives. We often introduce managers of companies in which we have invested to other portfolio companies to capitalize on complementary business activities and best practices.

Our investment adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. For investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time.

As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average grade of our portfolio at fair value was 3.0. For more information, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Portfolio and Investment Activity."

MANAGERIAL ASSISTANCE

As a BDC, we must offer, and must provide upon request, significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. Ares Operations may provide all or a portion of this assistance pursuant to our

152

administration agreement, the costs of which will be reimbursed by us. We may receive fees for these services.

COMPETITION

Our primary competitors include public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies, other BDCs and private equity funds, each of which we compete with for financing opportunities. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider more investments and establish more relationships than we do. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Company Act imposes on us as a BDC. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities".

We believe that the relationships of the members of our investment adviser's investment committee and of the partners of Ares enable us to learn about, and compete effectively for, financing opportunities with attractive middle-market companies in the industries in which we seek to invest. We believe that Ares' professionals' deep and long-standing direct sponsor relationships and the resulting proprietary transaction opportunities that these relationships often present, provide valuable insight and access to transactions and information. We use the industry information of Ares' investment professionals to which we have access to assess investment risks and determine appropriate pricing for our investments in portfolio companies.

STAFFING

We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees. Services necessary for our business are provided by individuals who are employees or affiliates of our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, and our administrator, Ares Operations, each of which is a subsidiary of Ares Management, pursuant to the terms of our investment advisory and management agreement and our administration agreement, respectively, each as described below. Each of our executive officers is an employee or affiliate of our investment adviser or our administrator. Our day-to-day investment activities are managed by our investment adviser. Most of the services necessary for the origination of our investment portfolio are provided by investment professionals employed by Ares Capital Management. Ares Capital Management had approximately 90 U.S.-based investment professionals as of March 31, 2016 who focus on origination, transaction development, investment and the ongoing monitoring of our investments. See "Management—Investment Advisory and Management Agreement" below. We reimburse both our investment adviser and our administrator for a certain portion of expenses incurred in connection with such staffing, as described in more detail below. Because we have no employees, Ares Capital does not have a formal employee relations policy.

PROPERTIES

We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operation. Our headquarters are currently located at 245 Park Avenue, 44th Floor, New York, New York 10167. We are party to office leases pursuant to which we are leasing office facilities from third parties. For certain of these office leases, we have also entered into separate subleases with Ares Management LLC and IHAM, pursuant to which Ares Management LLC, the sole member of Ares Capital Management, and IHAM sublease a portion of these leases. Ares Management LLC has also entered into separate subleases with us, pursuant to which we sublease certain office spaces from Ares Management LLC.

153

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, Allied Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that we assumed in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with our activities or the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On May 20, 2013, we were named as one of several defendants in an action (the "Action") filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Court") by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC and two related companies. On March 17, 2014, the Action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Court") pursuant to a motion filed by the defendants and granted by the Pennsylvania Court. On May 6, 2014, the Delaware Court referred the Action to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint in the Action alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported "fraudulent transfer" involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal Holdings LLC. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425 million, of which the complaint states our individual share is approximately $117 million, and (2) punitive damages. We are currently unable to assess with any certainty whether we may have any exposure in the Action. We believe the plaintiff's claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the Action.

We are aware that three lawsuits have been filed by stockholders of American Capital challenging the American Capital Acquisition. These legal proceedings could delay or prevent the American Capital Acquisition from becoming effective within the agreed upon timeframe or at all, and, if the American Capital Acquisition is completed, may be material to the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the combined company. It is possible that third parties could try to seek to impose liability against the combined company in connection with this matter or other potential legal proceedings.

On or about June 24, 2016, Larry Sutton filed a putative shareholder class action allegedly on behalf of holders of the common stock of American Capital against the members of American Capital's board of directors in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland in connection with the American Capital Acquisition. The action alleges that the American Capital's directors failed to adequately discharge their fiduciary duties to the public shareholders of American Capital by failing to take steps necessary to obtain for the shareholders the highest value available in the marketplace for their shares in the American Capital Acquisition. The complaint further alleges that American Capital's directors exacerbated this failure by including deal protection devices in the American Capital Acquisition that precluded other bidders from making a higher offer to American Capital. A purported claim is asserted against the Company for aiding and abetting American Capital's directors' alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks to enjoin the shareholder vote on the American Capital Acquisition between the Company and American Capital until American Capital adopts a process to obtain a transaction providing the best available terms for its shareholders. In the event that the American Capital Acquisition is completed, the complaint seeks to recover compensatory damages for all losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. We believe that this claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

On or about July 12, 2016, Renee J. Bercury, Renee J. Bercury IRA, William T. Bercury, William T. Bercury IRA, Atha P. Bercury, John G. Bercury, and Bercury Homes, Ltd. filed a putative shareholder class action allegedly on behalf of holders of the common stock of American Capital against the members of American Capital's board of directors in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The action alleges that American Capital's directors failed to adequately discharge

154

their fiduciary duties to the public shareholders of American Capital by failing to take steps necessary to obtain for the shareholders the highest value available in the marketplace for their shares in the American Capital Acquisition. The complaint further alleges that the American Capital Acquisition was the product of flawed sales process due to the American Capital directors' conflicts of interest and use of deal protection devices in the American Capital Acquisition that precluded other bidders from making a higher offer to American Capital. A purported claim is asserted against the Company for aiding and abetting American Capital's directors' alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks to enjoin the shareholder vote on the American Capital Acquisition until American Capital adopts a process to obtain a transaction providing the best available terms for its shareholders. In the event that the American Capital Acquisition is consummated, the complaint seeks to recover compensatory damages for all losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. We believe that this claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

On or about July 21, 2016, Garry Tischler filed a putative shareholder class action allegedly on behalf of all shareholders of American Capital against the members of American Capital's board of directors in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The action alleges that the American Capital directors failed to adequately discharge their fiduciary duties to the shareholders of American Capital by failing to take steps necessary to obtain for the shareholders the highest value available in the marketplace for their shares in the American Capital Acquisition. The complaint further alleges that American Capital's directors exacerbated this failure by including deal protection devices in the American Capital Acquisition that precluded other bidders from making a higher offer to American Capital and by relying upon guidance from a conflicted financial advisor that owned common stock in the Company and stood to directly benefit from the American Capital Acquisition. A purported claim is asserted against the Company for aiding and abetting the American Capital directors' alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks to enjoin the American Capital Acquisition, including the shareholder vote on the American Capital Acquisition. In the alternative, the complaint seeks to amend or enjoin the deal protection devices as necessary to ensure a fair sales process. In the event that the American Capital Acquisition is completed, the complaint seeks to recover compensatory damages for all losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. We believe that this claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

PENDING AMERICAN CAPITAL ACQUISITION

On May 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital in a cash and stock transaction. American Capital is an internally managed closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the American Capital Acquisition will be accomplished with two mergers: (1) Acquisition Sub will merge with and into American Capital, with American Capital being the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (2) ACAM, a portfolio company of American Capital, will merge with and into IHAM, our portfolio company, with IHAM being the surviving entity in the ACAM Merger. Immediately following the Mergers, American Capital will convert into a Delaware limited liability company and withdraw its election as a BDC.

156

Upon completion of the American Capital Acquisition, each share of American Capital common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the American Capital Acquisition will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (i) $6.41 per share in cash from us, (ii) $1.20 per share in cash from our investment adviser, acting solely on its own behalf, (iii) the Exchange Ratio, (iv) $2.45 per share in cash, which amount represents the per share cash consideration paid to American Capital pursuant to the sale by ACAM of ACMM, a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAM, to American Capital Agency Corp. (the "Mortgage Manager Sale") and (v) (A) if the closing occurs after the record date with respect to our dividend payable with respect to the fourth quarter of 2016, 37.5% of the Exchange Ratio times our dividend for such quarter, plus (B) if the closing occurs after the record date with respect to our dividend payable with respect to the first quarter of 2017, 75% of the Exchange Ratio times our dividend for such quarter, plus (C) if the closing occurs after the record date with respect to our dividend for any subsequent quarter, 100% of the Exchange Ratio times our dividend for such quarter. Based on the number of shares of American Capital Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement, this would result in approximately 110.8 million of our shares being exchanged for approximately 229.3 million outstanding shares of American Capital common stock, subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances. Following completion of the American Capital Acquisition, the directors of our board of directors will continue as directors of the Company.

The Merger Agreement contains (a) customary representations and warranties of American Capital and the Company, including representations and warranties relating to, among others: corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority and absence of conflicts, third party and governmental consents and approvals, reports and regulatory matters, financial statements, compliance with law and legal proceedings, absence of certain changes, taxes, employee matters, intellectual property, insurance and certain contracts, (b) limited representations and warranties from IHAM and ACAM, including representations and warranties relating to, among others: corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority and absence of conflicts, (c) limited representations and warranties from our investment adviser, including representations and warranties relating to, among others: corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority, absence of conflicts and regulatory matters, (d) covenants of American Capital and the Company to conduct our respective businesses in the ordinary course until the American Capital Acquisition is completed and (e) covenants of American Capital and the Company not to take certain actions during this interim period.

Among other things, American Capital and we have agreed to, and will cause our respective affiliates, consolidated subsidiaries, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and other advisors, representatives and agents to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all discussions and negotiations with respect to a "Competing Proposal" (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from a third party and not to directly or indirectly solicit or take any other action (including providing information) with the intent to solicit any inquiry, discussion, proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Proposal.

However, if either American Capital or the Company receives a Competing Proposal from a third party, and the board of directors of American Capital or the Company, as applicable, determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisers that (i) failure to consider such proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the respective directors under applicable law and (ii) the Competing Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a "Superior Proposal" (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then the party receiving such proposal may engage in discussions and negotiations with such third party so long as certain notice and other procedural requirements are satisfied. American Capital or the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with a third party who makes a Superior Proposal, subject to certain procedural requirements and the payment of a $140 million termination fee.

157

The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Merger Agreement (i) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made to the other party in connection with the Merger Agreement, (ii) will not survive completion of the American Capital Acquisition and cannot be the basis for any claims under the Merger Agreement by the other party after the American Capital Acquisition is completed, (iii) are qualified in certain circumstances by a materiality standard which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (iv) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and (v) may have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between American Capital and the Company rather than establishing matters as facts.

While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed at all, we expect to complete the American Capital Acquisition as early as the fourth quarter of 2016. The completion of the American Capital Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, American Capital stockholder approval, our stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, receipt of certain third party consents, including consents from regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom and Guernsey and consents from certain investment funds managed by ACAM and its subsidiaries representing at least 75% of the aggregate assets under management from all such funds as of March 31, 2016 and other customary closing conditions.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for us and American Capital and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances (including as more specifically described above), American Capital or the Company may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $140 million.

We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

Additionally, on May 23, 2016, we entered into an agreement with our investment adviser (the "Transaction Support Agreement") in connection with the American Capital Acquisition. Under the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, our investment adviser will (i) provide $275 million of cash consideration, or $1.20 per share of American Capital common stock, payable to American Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing and (ii) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under our investment advisory and management agreement. The financial support contemplated by the Transaction Support Agreement is conditioned upon completion of the American Capital Acquisition, which is subject to the closing conditions described above.

PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

The following table describes each of the businesses included in our portfolio and reflects data as of March 31, 2016. Percentages shown for class of investment securities held by us represent percentage of the class owned and do not necessarily represent voting ownership. Percentages shown for equity securities, other than warrants or options, represent the actual percentage of the class of security held before dilution. Percentages shown for warrants and options held represent the percentage of class of security we may own assuming we exercise our warrants or options before dilution.

We have indicated by footnote portfolio companies (a) where we directly or indirectly own more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company and, therefore, are presumed to be "controlled" by us under the Investment Company Act and (b) where we directly or indirectly own 5% to 25% of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company or where we hold one or more seats on the portfolio company's board of directors and, therefore, are deemed to be an "affiliated person" under the Investment Company Act. We directly or indirectly own less than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of all other portfolio companies (or have no other affiliations with such portfolio companies) listed on the table. We offer to make significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. Where we do not hold a seat on the portfolio company's board of directors, we may receive rights to observe such board meetings.

Where we have indicated by footnote the amount of undrawn commitments to portfolio companies to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, such undrawn commitments are presented net of (i) standby letters of credit treated as drawn commitments because they are issued and outstanding, (ii) commitments substantially at the Company's discretion and (iii) commitments that are unavailable due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions.

Set forth below is a brief description of each portfolio company in which we have made an investment that represents greater than 5% of our total assets as of March 31, 2016.

Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC

The Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC, or SSLP, was formed in December 2007. We and GE co-invest through the SSLP in first lien senior secured loans of middle-market companies. The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). The Company has provided capital to the SSLP in the form of the SSLP Certificates.

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with us in the SSLP, to CPPIB. This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and we and GE continue to operate the SSLP. We and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, we and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, we were advised that GECC, as the holder of the Senior Notes of the SSLP, directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes us). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide us and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between us and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. We have been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, we are also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that we will pursue any of them.

As of March 31, 2016, we and GE had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $7.6 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. As discussed above, we anticipate that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that we and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, the SSLP had

174

commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $145.4 million, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above.

As of March 31, 2016, we had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount to the SSLP. Additionally, as of March 31, 2016, we had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for our portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $23.6 million. As discussed above, it is not anticipated that we will make new investments through the SSLP.

MANAGEMENT

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. The responsibilities of the board of directors include, among other things, the quarterly valuation of our investments. The size of our board of directors is set at nine members and currently consists of four directors who are "interested persons" of Ares Capital as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act and five directors who are not such "interested persons." We refer to the directors who are non-interested persons as our "independent directors." We refer to our directors who are "interested persons" as our "interested directors." Our board of directors elects our officers, who serve at the discretion of the board of directors. The board of directors maintains an audit committee and nominating and governance committee, and may establish additional committees from time to time as necessary.

Under our charter and bylaws, our directors are divided into three classes. Directors are elected for staggered terms of three years each, with the term of office of only one of these three classes of directors expiring each year. Each director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.

flexibility to select our chairman and reorganize our leadership structure from time to time is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Presently, Mr. Arougheti and Mr. Rosenthal serve as co-chairs of our board of directors. Mr. Arougheti is an interested director because he is an Executive Vice President of the Company, is on the Investment Committee of the investment adviser, is a Co-Founder and President of Ares and serves as a member of the Board of Directors and Management Committee of Ares. The Company believes that Mr. Arougheti's depth of experience in investment management, leveraged finance and financial services, as well as his intimate knowledge of the Company's business and operations, gives our board of directors valuable industry-specific knowledge and expertise on these and other matters. Mr. Rosenthal is an interested director because he is on the Investment Committee of our investment adviser, is a Co-Founder and Partner of Ares and serves on the Board of Directors and Management Committee of Ares. We believe that Mr. Rosenthal's history with the Company, familiarity with the Ares investment platform and extensive experience in the management of private equity and debt investments qualifies him to serve as co-chairman of our board of directors. Moreover, we believe that we are best served through our existing leadership structure with Mr. Arougheti and Mr. Rosenthal as co-chairs of our board of directors, as Mr. Arougheti and Mr. Rosenthal's relationships with our investment adviser provide an effective bridge between our board of directors and our investment adviser, thus ensuring an open dialogue between our board of directors and our investment adviser and that both groups act with a common purpose.

The independent directors have designated a lead independent director whose duties include, among other things, chairing executive sessions of the independent directors, acting as a liaison between the independent directors and the co-chairs of the board of directors and between the independent directors and officers of the Company and our investment adviser, facilitating communication among the independent directors and the Company's counsel, reviewing and commenting on board and committee meeting agendas and calling additional meetings of the independent directors as appropriate. In August 2010, the board of directors designated and appointed Mr. Siegel as the lead independent director and Mr. Siegel has served as lead independent director since that time.

We believe that board leadership structures must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and that our existing board leadership structure is appropriate. However, we continually re-examine our corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet the Company's needs.

BOARD'S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our board of directors performs its risk oversight function and fulfills its risk oversight responsibilities primarily (a) through its two standing committees, which report to the entire board of directors and are comprised solely of independent directors and (b) by working with our Chief Compliance Officer to monitor risk in accordance with our compliance policies and procedures.

As described below in more detail under "Committees of the Board of Directors," the audit committee and the nominating and governance committee assist the board of directors in performing its risk oversight function and fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The audit committee's risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, assisting the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the Company's systems of internal controls over financial reporting, audits of the Company's financial statements and disclosure controls and procedures, assisting the board of directors in determining the fair value of securities that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available, and discussing with management the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company's risk assessment

187

and risk management policies. The nominating and governance committee's risk oversight responsibilities include developing, reviewing and updating certain policies regarding the nomination of directors, identifying, evaluating and nominating directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors or to stand for election by our stockholders, reviewing the Company's policies relating to corporate governance, and overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors and its committees.

Our board of directors also performs its risk oversight function and fulfills its risk oversight responsibilities by working with our Chief Compliance Officer to monitor risk in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures. Our Chief Compliance Officer prepares a written report annually discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and certain of its service providers. Our Chief Compliance Officer's report, which is reviewed by and discussed with our board of directors, addresses at a minimum (a) the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and certain of its service providers since the last report; (b) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (c) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of our Chief Compliance Officer's annual review; and (d) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which our board of directors would reasonably need to know to oversee the Company's compliance activities and risks. In addition, our Chief Compliance Officer reports to our board of directors on a quarterly basis with respect to material compliance matters and meets separately in executive session with the independent directors periodically, but in no event less than once each year.

We believe that our board of directors' role in risk oversight is effective and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which we are already subject as a BDC. Specifically, as a BDC we must comply with certain regulatory requirements and restrictions that control the levels of risk in our business and operations. For example, our ability to incur indebtedness is limited such that our asset coverage must equal at least 200% immediately after each time we incur indebtedness, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in "qualifying assets" and, subject to certain exceptions, we are subject to restrictions on our ability to engage in transactions with Ares and its affiliates. See "Regulation." In addition, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. As a RIC we must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. See "Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

We believe that the extent of our board of directors' (and its committees') role in risk oversight complements our board of directors' leadership structure because it allows our independent directors, through the two fully independent board committees, a lead independent director, executive sessions with each of our Chief Compliance Officer, our independent registered public accounting firm and independent valuation providers and otherwise, to exercise oversight of risk without any conflict that might discourage critical review.

We believe that our board of directors' role in risk oversight must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and that our board of directors' existing role in risk oversight is appropriate. However, our board of directors re-examines the manner in which it administers its risk oversight function on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to meet the Company's needs.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors has established an audit committee and a nominating and governance committee. We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. During 2015, the board of directors held 15 formal meetings, the audit committee held four formal meetings, and the nominating and governance committee held four formal meetings. We encourage, but do not require, the directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders in person.

188

Audit Committee

The members of the audit committee are Ms. Bates and Messrs. Bartlett and Siegel, each of whom is independent for purposes of the Investment Company Act and The NASDAQ Global Select Market's corporate governance regulations. Ms. Bates currently serves as chairperson of the audit committee.

The role of the audit committee is to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by: (i) overseeing the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company's financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and (ii) reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to the public. The audit committee is also responsible for approving our independent registered public accounting firm and recommending them to our board of directors (including a majority of the independent directors) for approval and submission to our stockholders for ratification, reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing the adequacy of our internal controls and procedures.

The audit committee also assists our board of directors in determining the fair value of debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available, and in connection therewith recommends valuation policies to the board of directors, considers valuation issues with respect to liquid securities and reviews valuations of illiquid securities proposed by the investment adviser. The audit committee also receives input from independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board of directors to value certain portfolio investments. In addition, the audit committee is responsible for discussing with the Company's officers and management of our investment adviser the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps that the Company has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company's risk assessment and risk management policies. The audit committee also reviews and approves all transactions with related persons of the Company that are brought to the audit committee's attention, including each annual renewal of our investment advisory and management agreement and our administration agreement.

This description of the audit committee's role and responsibilities is summary in nature, is not exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the charter of the audit committee, which can be accessed via the Company's website at www.arescapitalcorp.com. The contents of the Company's website are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the accompanying prospectus supplement, and any references to the Company's website are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Bates is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The members of the nominating and governance committee are Messrs. Kelly, McKeever and Siegel, each of whom is independent for purposes of the Investment Company Act and The NASDAQ Global Select Market's corporate governance regulations. Mr. McKeever currently serves as chairman of the nominating and governance committee. The nominating and governance committee is responsible for (i) developing, reviewing and, as appropriate, updating certain policies regarding the nomination of directors and recommending such policies or any changes in such policies to the board of directors for approval, (ii) identifying individuals qualified to become directors, (iii) evaluating and recommending to the board of directors nominees to fill vacancies on the board of directors or committees thereof or to stand for election by the stockholders of the Company, (iv) reviewing the

189

Company's policies relating to corporate governance and recommending any changes in such policies to the board of directors, and (v) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors (including its leadership structure) and its committees.

In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the nominating and governance committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the desirability of selecting directors who:

•
  are of high character and integrity;
•
  are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;
•
  have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to the Company's officers and management of the investment adviser and the administrator;
•
  have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company;
•
  are able to work with the other members of the board of directors and contribute to the success of the Company;
•
  can represent the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders as a whole; and
•
  are selected such that the board of directors represents a range of backgrounds and experience.

The nominating and governance committee also considers all applicable legal and regulatory requirements that govern the composition of the board of directors.

The nominating and governance committee may consider recommendations for nomination of directors from our stockholders. Nominations made by stockholders must be delivered to or mailed (setting forth the information required by our bylaws) and received at our principal executive offices not earlier than the 150th day and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date on which we first mailed our proxy materials for the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting has changed by more than 30 days from the prior year, the nomination must be received not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of (1) the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or (2) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of such meeting date is first made.

This description of the nominating and governance committee's role and responsibilities is summary in nature, is not exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the charter of the nominating and governance committee, which can be accessed via the Company's website at www.arescapitalcorp.com. The contents of the Company's website are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the accompanying prospectus supplement, and any references to the Company's website are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Compensation Committee

The role of the compensation committee is performed by the audit committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors for purposes of the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements and rules and regulations of the SEC, including the compensation committee requirements of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(d) and Rule 5605(a)(2). The Company's executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. The audit committee charter contains all of the provisions that a compensation committee charter would be required to include under the NASDAQ corporate governance listing requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC. In addition, pursuant to the audit committee charter, the amounts payable to our investment adviser and

190

our administrator pursuant to our investment advisory and management agreement and administration agreement, respectively, are separately approved by the audit committee. The compensation payable to our investment adviser pursuant to the investment advisory and management agreement is also separately approved by a majority of our independent directors in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act.

The specific responsibilities of the audit committee, including those related to compensation, are set forth in the charter of the audit committee, which can be accessed via the Company's website at www.arescapitalcorp.com.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Management Services

Ares Capital Management serves as our investment adviser and is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, our investment adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to, Ares Capital. Under the terms of the investment advisory and management agreement, our investment adviser:

•
  determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
•
  identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies);
•
  closes and monitors the investments we make;
•
  determines the investments and other assets that we purchase, retain or sell; and
•
  provides us with such other investment advisory and research and related services as we may from time to time reasonably require.

Ares Capital Management's services to us under the investment advisory and management agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities. Similarly, affiliates of our investment adviser may directly or indirectly manage funds or other investment vehicles with investment objectives similar to ours. Accordingly, we may compete with these Ares funds or other investment vehicles managed by our investment adviser and its affiliates for capital and investment opportunities. Ares Capital Management endeavors to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, and in any event consistent with any fiduciary duties owed to Ares Capital. Nevertheless, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain

196

investments made by investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by Ares Capital Management or its affiliates.

Base Management Fee

Pursuant to the investment advisory and management agreement and subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, our investment adviser provides investment advisory and management services to us. For providing these services, our investment adviser receives fees from us consisting of a base management fee, an income based fee and a capital gains incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

Income Based Fee

The income based fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our net investment income excluding income based fees and capital gains incentive fees ("pre-incentive fee net investment income") for the quarter. Pre- incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the income based fee and capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Our investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the income based fees it received that were based on accrued interest that we never actually received. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could impact our investment returns" and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may be obligated to pay our investment adviser certain fees even if we incur a loss."

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation, unrealized capital depreciation or income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. Because of the structure of the income based fee, it is possible that we may pay such fees in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, we will pay the applicable income based fee even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed "hurdle rate" of 1.75% per quarter. If market credit spreads rise, we may be able to invest in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which may increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for our investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an income based fee based on such net investment income. To the extent we have retained pre-incentive fee net investment income that has been used to calculate the income based fee, it is also included in the amount of our total assets (other than cash and cash

equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

We pay our investment adviser an income based fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

•
  no income based fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre- incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
•
  100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the "catch-up" provision. The "catch-up" is meant to provide our investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and
•
  20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income based fee:

Quarterly Income Based Fee Based on Net Investment Income

(expressed as a percentage of the value of net assets)

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

If the American Capital Acquisition is completed, our investment adviser has agreed to waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the completion of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of the income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement. We cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed. See "Pending American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the terms of the American Capital Acquisition, "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may fail to complete the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks associated with a failure to complete the American Capital Acquisition and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the American Capital Acquisition" for a description of the risks that the combined company may face if the American Capital Acquisition is completed.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of our investment advisory and management agreement, as of the

198

termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004 (the date we completed our initial public offering). Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments and foreign currencies, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other assets, as well as any income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains incentive fee for such year.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in our portfolio as of the applicable capital gains incentive fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of an amendment to the capital gains incentive fee under the investment advisory and management agreement that was adopted on June 6, 2011, if we are required by GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment by us (including, for example, as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, the "accreted or amortized cost basis" of an investment shall be an amount (the "Contractual Cost Basis") equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by us for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in our financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in our financial statements, including PIK interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in our financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

We defer cash payment of any income based fee and the capital gains incentive fee otherwise earned by our investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees or capital gains incentive fees accrued during the period) is less than 7.0% of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. Any such deferred fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under our investment advisory and management agreement.

Examples of Fee Calculation

Example 1—Income Based Fee(1):

Assumptions

|  | • Hurdle rate(2) = 1.75% |  |
|  | • Management fee(3) = 0.375% |  |
|  | • Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(4) = 0.20% |  |

Alternative 1

Additional Assumptions

|  | • Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25% |  |
|  | • Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.675% |  |
|  | Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate, therefore there is no income based fee. |  |

(1)
  The hypothetical amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income shown is based on a percentage of total net assets. In addition, the example assumes that during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date the payment set forth in the example is to be made, the sum of (a) our aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) our change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees or capital gains incentive fees accrued during the period) is at least 7% of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period (as adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases).
(2)
  Represents a quarter of the 7.0% annualized hurdle rate.
(3)
  Represents a quarter of the 1.5% annualized management fee.
(4)
  Excludes offering expenses.

Alternative 2

Additional Assumptions

|  | • Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.70% |  |
|  | • Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.125% |  |
|  | Pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an income based fee. |  |
|  | Income Based Fee |  | = |  | 100% × "Catch-Up" + the greater of 0% AND (20% × (pre-incentive fee net investment income – 2.1875%)) |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | (100% × (2.125% – 1.75%)) + 0% |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | 100% × 0.375% |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | 0.375% |  |

Alternative 3

Additional Assumptions

|  | • Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.50% |  |
|  | • Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.925% |  |
|  | Pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an income based fee. |  |
|  | Income Based Fee |  | = |  | 100% × "Catch-Up" + the greater of 0% AND (20% × (pre-incentive fee net investment income – 2.1875%)) |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | (100% × (2.1875% – 1.75%)) + (20% × (2.925% – 2.1875%)) |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | 0.4375% + (20% × 0.7375%) |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | 0.4375% + 0.1475% |  |
|  |  |  | = |  | 0.585% |  |

Example 2—Capital Gains Incentive Fee:

Alternative 1:

Assumptions

•
  Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A ("Investment A"), and $30 million investment made in Company B ("Investment B")
•
  Year 2: Investment A is sold for $50 million and fair value ("FV") of Investment B determined to be $32 million
•
  Year 3: FV of Investment B determined to be $25 million
•
  Year 4: Investment B sold for $31 million

The capital gains incentive fee, if any, would be:

•
  Year 1: None (No sales transactions)
•
  Year 2: $6 million (20% multiplied by $30 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A)
•
  Year 3: None; $5 million (20% multiplied by ($30 million realized cumulative capital gains less $5 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $6 million (previous capital gains incentive fee paid in Year 2)
•
  Year 4: $200,000; $6.2 million (20% multiplied by $31 million cumulative realized capital gains) less $6 million (capital gains incentive fee paid in Year 2)

Alternative 2

Assumptions

•
  Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A ("Investment A"), $30 million investment made in Company B ("Investment B") and $25 million investment made in Company C ("Investment C")
•
  Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million, FV of Investment B determined to be $25 million and FV of Investment C determined to be $25 million
•
  Year 3: FV of Investment B determined to be $27 million and Investment C sold for $30 million
•
  Year 4: FV of Investment B determined to be $35 million
•
  Year 5: Investment B sold for $20 million

The capital gains incentive fee, if any, would be:

•
  Year 1: None (No sales transactions)
•
  Year 2: $5 million (20% multiplied by $25 million ($30 million realized capital gains on Investment A less $5 million unrealized capital depreciation on Investment B))
•
  Year 3: $1.4 million ($6.4 million (20% multiplied by $32 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains less $3 million unrealized capital depreciation)) less $5 million (capital gains incentive fee paid in Year 2))
•
  Year 4: None (No sales transactions)
•
  Year 5: None ($5 million (20% multiplied by $25 million (cumulative realized capital gains of $35 million less realized capital losses of $10 million)) less $6.4 million (cumulative capital gains incentive fee paid in Year 2 and Year 3))

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred $34.8 million in base management fees, and $29.1 million in income based fees. There was no capital gains incentive fee earned by our investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2016. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $46.0 million as of March 31, 2016, all of which was not due under the investment advisory and management agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred $134.3 million in base management fees and $121.4 million in income based fees. There was no capital gains incentive fee earned by our investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement for the year ended December 31, 2015. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively

201

accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $42.3 million as of December 31, 2015, all of which was not due under the investment advisory and management agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred $128.0 million in base management fees and $118.3 million in income based fees. The capital gains incentive fee as calculated and payable under the investment advisory and management agreement for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $24.0 million. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $93.0 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $69.0 million was not due under the investment advisory and management agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $104.9 million in base management fees and $110.5 million in income based fees. In accordance with GAAP, the Company accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. However, the capital gains incentive fee as calculated and payable under the investment advisory and management agreement for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $17.4 million.

GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has paid capital gains incentive fees since inception totaling $57.4 million. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

Payment of Our Expenses

The services of all investment professionals and staff of our investment adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services to us and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by our investment adviser. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including, but not limited to, those relating to: rent; organization; calculation of our net asset value (including, but not limited to, the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm); expenses incurred by our investment adviser payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and in monitoring our investments (including the cost of consultants hired to develop information technology systems designed to monitor our investments) and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies; interest payable on indebtedness, if any, incurred to finance our investments (including payments to third party vendors for financial information services); offerings of our common stock and other securities; investment advisory and management fees; administration fees; fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments; transfer agent and custodial fees; registration fees; listing fees; taxes; independent directors' fees and expenses; costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents with the SEC; the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing costs; to the extent we are covered by

202

any joint insurance policies, our allocable portion of the insurance premiums for such policies; direct costs and expenses of administration, including auditor and legal costs; and all other expenses incurred by us or our administrator in connection with administering our business as described in more detail under "Administration Agreement" below.

Duration, Termination and Amendment

At an in-person meeting of our board of directors on March 16, 2011, the form of our current investment advisory and management agreement, including two proposed amendments to our then existing investment advisory and management agreement, was approved by our board of directors with the recommendation that our stockholders vote to approve the proposed amendments. On June 6, 2011, our stockholders approved the proposed amendments, and we entered into a restated investment advisory and management agreement, reflecting such amendments on June 6, 2011. At an in-person meeting of our board of directors on April 26, 2016, our board of directors, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company as defined in the Investment Company Act, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory and management agreement to June 6, 2017. A discussion regarding the basis for our board of directors' approval of the 2011 adoption of the form of our current investment advisory and management agreement is available in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Unless terminated earlier, the investment advisory and management agreement will automatically renew for successive annual periods if approved annually by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of our directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company (as defined in the Investment Company Act). The investment advisory and management agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The investment advisory and management agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

Conflicts of interest may arise if our investment adviser seeks to change the terms of our investment advisory and management agreement, including, for example, the amount of the base management fee, the income based fee, the capital gains incentive fee or other compensation terms. Material amendments to our investment advisory and management agreement must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities and by a majority of our independent directors, and we may from time to time decide it is appropriate to seek the requisite approval to change the terms of the agreement.

Indemnification

The investment advisory and management agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, our investment adviser, its members and their respective officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members and any other person or entities affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of our investment adviser's services under the investment advisory and management agreement or otherwise as our investment adviser.

Organization of our Investment Adviser

Our investment adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The principal executive offices of Ares Capital Management are located at 2000 Avenue of the Stars, 12th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067.

203

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

We are also party to an administration agreement with Ares Operations, an affiliate of our investment adviser and a subsidiary of Ares Management. Our board of directors approved the continuation of our administration agreement on April 26, 2016, which extended the term of the agreement until June 1, 2017. Pursuant to the administration agreement, Ares Operations furnishes us with office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at our office facilities. Under the administration agreement, Ares Operations also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, providing assistance in accounting, legal, compliance, operations, investor relations and technology, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Ares Operations assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, assists us in providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of Ares Operations' overhead and other expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the compensation of certain of our officers (including our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, general counsel, treasurer and assistant treasurer) and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $3.4 million, in administrative fees. As of March 31, 2016, $3.4 million of these fees were unpaid and included in "accounts payable and other liabilities" in the Company's March 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred $14.2 million in administrative fees. As of December 31, 2015, $3.7 million of these fees were unpaid and included in "accounts payable and other liabilities" in our December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $13.7 million and $12.3 million, respectively, in administrative fees.

Indemnification

The administration agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, Ares Operations, its members and their respective officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons and members and any other person or entities affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of Ares Operations' services under the administration agreement or otherwise as our administrator.

204

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and certain persons related to it. For example, we have a code of conduct that generally prohibits any of our officers or directors from engaging in any transaction where there is a conflict between such individual's personal interest and our interests. Waivers to the code of conduct can generally only be obtained from the Chief Compliance Officer, the co-chairs of the board of directors or the chairperson of the audit committee and are publicly disclosed as required by applicable law and regulations. In addition, the audit committee is required to review and approve all related-party transactions (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

As a BDC, we are also subject to certain regulatory requirements that restrict our ability to engage in certain related-party transactions. We have separate policies and procedures that have been adopted to ensure that we do not enter into any such prohibited transactions without seeking necessary approvals.

We are party to an investment advisory and management agreement with Ares Capital Management, a subsidiary of Ares Management, an entity in which certain of our directors and officers and members of the investment committee of our investment adviser may have indirect ownership and pecuniary interests. Certain of our directors and officers and members of the investment committee of our investment adviser also serve as officers or principals of other investment managers affiliated with Ares Management that currently, and may in the future, manage investment funds with investment objectives similar to our investment objective. In addition, certain of our directors and officers and members of the investment committee of our investment adviser serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or related line of business as we do or of investment funds managed by our affiliates. Accordingly, we may not be made aware of and/or be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by investment funds managed by advisers affiliated with Ares Management. However, our investment adviser intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner in accordance with our investment adviser's investment allocation policy. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could impact our investment returns."

Our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, has indirect financial interests in the American Capital Acquisition that are different from, and/or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders. For example, our investment adviser's base management fee is based on a percentage of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents). Because total assets under management is expected to increase if the American Capital Acquisition is completed, the dollar amount of our investment adviser's management fee is expected to increase as a result of the completion of the American Capital Acquisition. In addition, the income based fee and capital gains incentive fee payable by us to our investment adviser may increase as a result of the American Capital Acquisition. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, our investment adviser has agreed to (i) provide $275 million of cash consideration, or $1.20 per share of American Capital Common Stock, payable to American Capital's stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing and (ii) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of the income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the administration agreement between Ares Operations and us, Ares Operations, a subsidiary of Ares Management, currently provides us with certain administrative and other services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations, and we reimburse Ares Operations, at

205

cost, for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under our administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers (including our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, general counsel, secretary and treasurer) and their respective staffs, but not investment professionals.

Our portfolio company, IHAM, is party to an administration agreement with Ares Operations, pursuant to which Ares Operations provides IHAM with, among other things, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, services relating to the marketing and sale of interests in vehicles managed by IHAM, services of, and oversight of, custodians, depositaries, accountants, attorneys, underwriters and such other persons in any other capacity deemed to be necessary. Under the IHAM administration agreement, IHAM reimburses Ares Operations for all of the actual costs associated with such services, including its allocable portion of Ares Operations' overhead and the cost of Ares Operations' officers and respective staff in performing its obligations under the IHAM administration agreement. IHAM is also party to the Merger Agreement and is the entity into which ACAM will merge.

We are party to office leases pursuant to which we are leasing office facilities from third parties. For certain of these office leases, we have also entered into separate subleases with Ares Management LLC, the sole member of the investment adviser, and IHAM, pursuant to which Ares Management LLC and IHAM sublease a portion of these leases. For the year ended December 31, 2015, amounts payable by Ares Management LLC and IHAM to us under these subleases totaled $4.7 million. Ares Management LLC has also entered into separate subleases with us, pursuant to which we sublease certain office leases from Ares Management LLC. For the year ended December 31, 2015, amounts payable to Ares Management LLC under these subleases totaled $0.7 million.

We have entered into agreements with Ares Management LLC and IHAM, pursuant to which Ares Management LLC and IHAM are entitled to use our proprietary portfolio management software. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, amounts payable by Ares Management LLC and IHAM to us under these agreements totaled $0.1 million.

We have also entered into a license agreement with Ares Management LLC pursuant to which Ares Management LLC has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "Ares." Under this agreement, we will have a right to use the Ares name for so long as Ares Capital Management remains our investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, we have no legal right to the "Ares" name.

208

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value per share of our outstanding shares of common stock is determined quarterly by dividing the value of total assets minus liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. We follow ASC 820-10, which expands the application of fair value accounting for investments (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2015 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2016). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 55% of our portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, our investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded it.

209

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

Our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•
  Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.
•
  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with our investment adviser's management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the board of directors.
•
  The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms, who review a minimum of 55% of our portfolio at fair value.
•
  The board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of our investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third- party valuation firms.

210

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not "opted out" of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends.

No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have their cash dividend reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire cash dividend in cash by notifying Computershare Shareowner Services LLC ("Computershare"), the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date fixed by the board of directors for dividends to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the dividend reinvestment plan, received in writing no later than 10 days prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting fractional shares to the participant's account, issue a check for any fractional share.

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or another financial intermediary of their election.

We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as our shares are trading at or at a premium to net asset value). If our shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we intend to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan. However, we reserve the right to issue new shares of our common stock in connection with our obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if our shares are trading below net asset value. If newly issued shares are used to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on the dividend payment date. Market price per share on that date shall be the closing price for such shares on The NASDAQ Global Select Market or, if no sale is reported for such day, at the average of their reported bid and asked prices. If shares are purchased in the open market to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the cash dividend payable to such stockholder by the weighted average price per share for all shares purchased by the plan administrator in the open market in connection with the dividend. The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the dividend cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.

There are no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the dividend reinvestment plan. The plan administrator's fees under the plan are paid by us. If a participant elects by notice to the plan administrator in advance of termination to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant's account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a transaction fee of up to $15 plus a $0.12 per share fee from the proceeds.

Stockholders whose cash dividends are reinvested in shares of our common stock are subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as are stockholders who elect to receive their dividends in cash. A stockholder's initial basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock

211

received in a dividend from us will be equal to the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to the stockholder. Any stock received on reinvestment of a cash dividend will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. stockholder's account. See "Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Participants may terminate their accounts under the dividend reinvestment plan by notifying the plan administrator via its website at www.computershare.com/investor, by filling out the transaction request form located at bottom of their statement and sending it to the plan administrator at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170 or by calling the plan administrator's hotline at 1-866-365-2497.

The dividend reinvestment plan may be terminated by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend by us. All correspondence concerning the dividend reinvestment plan should be directed to the plan administrator via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor, by mail at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170 or by telephone at 1-866-365- 2497.

Additional information about the dividend reinvestment plan may be obtained by contacting the plan administrator via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor, by mail at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170 or by telephone at 1-866-365- 2497.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us and our qualification and taxation as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not purport to be a complete description of all of the tax considerations relating thereto. This discussion is based upon the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and court decisions, each as of the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. We have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the offerings pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to the accompanying prospectus supplement unless expressly stated therein. This discussion does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate or gift tax or foreign, state or local tax. It does not discuss the special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws that could result if we invested in tax-exempt securities or certain other investment assets.

This summary does not discuss the consequences of an investment in our debt securities. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of such an investment will be discussed in the relevant prospectus supplement.

Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences to investors in our shares will depend on the facts of their particular situation. We encourage investors to consult their own tax advisers regarding the specific consequences of such an investment, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax laws, eligibility for the benefits of any applicable tax treaty and the effect of any possible changes in the tax laws.

ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A RIC

As a BDC, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not pay corporate-level income taxes on our income and net capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends on a timely basis. We will be subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on any undistributed income and/or gains. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements (as described below). In addition, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, generally an amount equal to at least 90% of our "investment company taxable income," as defined by the Code. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may be subject to additional corporate-level income taxes if we fail to maintain our status as a RIC."

TAXATION AS A RIC

If we:

•
  qualify as a RIC; and
•
  satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement;

then we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain (generally, net long- term capital gain in excess of net short-term capital loss) we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to stockholders. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any income or capital gain not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our stockholders.

We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in

213

preceding years (collectively, the "Excise Tax Requirement"). We have paid in the past, and can be expected to pay in the future, such excise tax on a portion of our income.

Moreover, our ability to dispose of assets to meet our distribution requirements may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of our portfolio and (2) other requirements relating to our status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests (as defined below). If we dispose of assets to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement, the Diversification Tests, or the Excise Tax Requirement, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.

To qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we generally must, among other things:

•
  qualify to be treated as a BDC at all times during each taxable year;
•
  derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from (a) dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale of stock or other securities or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities or (b) net income derived from an interest in a "qualified publicly traded partnership," or "QPTP" (collectively, the "90% Income Test"); and
•
  diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year:
  •
    at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities that, with respect to any issuer, do not represent more than 5% of the value of our assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer; and
  •
    no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. Government securities or securities of other RICs, of (i) one issuer, (ii) two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable tax rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses or (iii) securities of one or more QPTPs (collectively, the "Diversification Tests").

We may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which we do not receive cash, such as income from hedging or foreign currency transactions. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, that have increasing interest rates or that are issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement and/or the Excise Tax Requirement, even though we will not have received any corresponding cash amount.

Furthermore, a portfolio company in which we invest may face financial difficulty that requires us to work-out, modify or otherwise restructure our investment in the portfolio company. Any such restructuring could, depending on the specific terms of the restructuring, result in unusable capital losses and future non-cash income.

In addition, certain of our investment practices may be subject to special and complex U.S. federal income tax provisions that may, among other things, (a) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, (b) convert long-term capital gain (currently taxed at lower rates for non-corporate taxpayers) into higher taxed short-term capital gain or ordinary income, (c) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (d) adversely affect the time when a purchase or sale of stock or securities is deemed to occur or (e) adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions. We will monitor our

214

transactions and may make certain tax elections in order to mitigate the effects of these provisions; however, no assurance can be given that we will be eligible for any such tax elections or that any elections we make will fully mitigate the effects of these provisions.

Gain or loss recognized by us from warrants acquired by us as well as any loss attributable to the lapse of such warrants generally will be treated as capital gain or loss. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term or short-term, depending on how long we held a particular warrant.

Our investment in non-U.S. securities may be subject to non-U.S. income, withholding and other taxes. In that case, our yield on those securities would be decreased. Stockholders will generally not be entitled to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit or deduction with respect to non-U.S. taxes paid by us.

If we purchase shares in a "passive foreign investment company" (a "PFIC"), we may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any "excess distribution" or gain from the disposition of such shares, even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by us to our stockholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be imposed on us in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains. If we invest in a PFIC and elect to treat the PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" under the Code (a "QEF"), in lieu of the foregoing requirements, we will be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the QEF, even if such income is not distributed to us. Alternatively, we may elect to mark-to-market at the end of each taxable year our shares in such PFIC; in this case, we will recognize as ordinary income any increase in the value of such shares, and as ordinary loss any decrease in such value to the extent it does not exceed prior increases included in income. Our ability to make either election will depend on factors beyond our control, and we are subject to limitations which may limit the availability or benefit of these elections. Under either election, we may be required to recognize in any year income in excess of our distributions from PFICs and our proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year, and such income will nevertheless be subject to the Annual Distribution Requirement and will be taken into account for purposes of determining whether we satisfy the Excise Tax Requirement.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under Section 988 of the Code, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time we accrue income, expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time we actually collect such income or pay such expenses or liabilities may be treated as ordinary income or loss. Similarly, gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts, the disposition of debt denominated in a foreign currency and other financial transactions denominated in foreign currency, to the extent attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between the acquisition and disposition dates, may also be treated as ordinary income or loss.

If we borrow money, we may be prevented by loan covenants from declaring and paying dividends in certain circumstances. Even if we are authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets in order to satisfy distribution requirements, under the Investment Company Act, we generally are not permitted to make distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and senior securities are outstanding unless certain "asset coverage" tests or other financial covenants are met. Limits on our payment of dividends may prevent us from meeting the Annual Distribution Requirement, and may, therefore, jeopardize our qualification for taxation as a RIC, or subject us to the 4% excise tax on undistributed income.

Some of the income and fees that we recognize, such as management fees, may not satisfy the 90% Income Test. In order to ensure that such income and fees do not disqualify us as a RIC for a failure to satisfy the 90% Income Test, we may be required to recognize such income or fees through one or more entities treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we expect that recognizing such income through such corporations will assist us in satisfying the 90% Income Test, no assurance can be given that this structure will be respected for U.S. federal income tax

215

purposes, which could result in such income not being counted towards satisfying the 90% Income Test. If the amount of such income were too great and we were otherwise unable to mitigate this effect, it could result in our disqualification as a RIC. If, as we expect, the structure is respected, such corporations will be required to pay U.S. corporate income tax on their earnings, which ultimately will reduce the yield on such income and fees.

If we fail to satisfy the 90% Income Test or the Diversification Tests in any taxable year, we may be eligible for relief provisions if the failures are due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and if a penalty tax is paid with respect to each failure to satisfy the applicable requirements. Additionally, relief is provided for certain de minimis failures of the diversification requirements where we correct the failure within a specified period. If the applicable relief provisions are not available or cannot be met, all of our income would be subject to corporate-level income tax as described below. We cannot provide assurance that we would qualify for any such relief should we fail the 90% Income Test or the Diversification Test.

If we fail to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, and are not eligible for relief as described above, we will be subject to tax in that year on all of our taxable income, regardless of whether we make any distributions to our stockholders. In that case, all of our income will be subject to corporate-level income tax, reducing the amount available to be distributed to our stockholders. In contrast, assuming we qualify as a RIC, our U.S. federal corporate-level income tax should be substantially reduced or eliminated. See "Election to Be Taxed as a RIC" above and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may be subject to additional corporate-level income taxes if we fail to maintain our status as a RIC."

Capital Loss Carryforwards and Unrealized Losses

As a RIC, we are permitted to carry forward a net capital loss realized in a taxable year beginning on or before January 1, 2011 to offset our capital gain, if any, realized during the eight years following the year of the loss. A capital loss carryforward realized in a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2011 is treated as a short-term capital loss in the year to which it is carried. We are permitted to carry forward a net capital loss realized in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 to offset capital gain indefinitely. For net capital losses realized in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, the excess of our net short-term capital loss over our net long-term capital gain is treated as a short- term capital loss arising on the first day of our next taxable year and the excess of our net long-term capital loss over our net short-term capital gain is treated as a long-term capital loss arising on the first day of our next taxable year. If future capital gain is offset by carried-forward capital losses, such future capital gain is not subject to fund-level U.S. federal income tax, regardless of whether distributed to stockholders. A RIC cannot carry back or carry forward any net operating losses.

It is believed that transactions we have undertaken, including the Allied Acquisition, have resulted in a limitation on our ability to use both our own and Allied Capital's capital loss carryforwards and, potentially, to use unrealized capital losses inherent in the tax basis of our own pre- acquisition assets and Allied Capital's assets we acquired. These limitations, imposed by Section 383 of the Code and based on the principles of Section 382 of the Code, are imposed on an annual basis. Losses in excess of the limitation may be carried forward, subject to the overall eight-year limitation. The Section 382 limitation applied to our and Allied Capital's losses generally will equal the product of the net asset value of each corporation immediately prior to the Allied Acquisition, respectively, and the "long-term tax-exempt rate," published by the IRS, in effect at such time. As of April 2010, the month during which the Allied Acquisition was consummated, the long-term tax-exempt rate was 4.03%. Additionally, under Section 384 of the Code, we may also be prohibited from using Allied Capital's loss carryforwards and unrealized losses against any of our unrealized gains at the time of the Allied Acquisition, to the extent such gains are realized within five years following the Allied Acquisition. While our ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that

216

cannot be known in advance, because capital loss carryforwards realized in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 generally expire eight taxable years following recognition, substantially all of our and Allied Capital's losses may become permanently unavailable. Future transactions we enter into may further limit our ability to utilize losses.

As of December 31, 2015, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $0.1 billion and other losses limited under Sections 382 and 384 of the Code of approximately $0.3 billion. These amounts are estimates and will not be finally determined until we file our 2015 income tax return in 2016.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A RIC

If we were unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, and relief were not available as discussed above, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders and would not be required to make distributions for tax purposes. Distributions generally would be taxable to our stockholders as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate U.S. stockholders would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder's tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. If we were to fail to meet the RIC requirements for more than two consecutive years and then sought to requalify as a RIC, we would be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held by us during the period in which we failed to qualify as a RIC that are recognized within the subsequent 10 years, unless we make a special election to pay corporate-level tax on such built-in gains at the time of our requalification as a RIC.

217

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

The following description is based on relevant portions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and on our charter and bylaws. This summary is not necessarily complete, and we refer you to the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter and bylaws for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.

STOCK

Our authorized stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are currently designated as common stock. Our common stock trades on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ARCC." On July 28, 2016, the last reported sales price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was $15.15 per share. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase our stock. No stock has been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under Maryland law, our stockholders generally are not personally liable for our indebtedness or obligations.

Under our charter, our board of directors is authorized to classify any unissued shares of stock and reclassify any previously classified but unissued shares of stock into one or more classes or series of stock and authorize the issuance of shares of stock without obtaining stockholder approval. As permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter provides that a majority of the entire board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, may amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

Common Stock

All shares of our common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, dividends and voting and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of our common stock if, as and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of funds legally available therefor. Shares of our common stock have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution after we pay off all indebtedness and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of our preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time.

Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of our common stock will possess exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of our directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares will be unable to elect any director.

The following are our outstanding classes of capital stock as of July 28, 2016:

(1) Title of Class |  | (2) Amount Authorized |  | (3) Amount Held by Registrant or for its Account |  | (4) Amount Outstanding Exclusive of Amount Shown Under Column (3) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Common Stock |  |  | 500,000,000 |  | — |  |  | 313,954,008 |

218

Preferred Stock

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to classify any unissued shares of stock and reclassify any previously classified but unissued shares of stock into other classes or series of stock, including preferred stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the board of directors is required by Maryland law and by our charter to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of our preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest.

You should note, however, that any issuance of preferred stock must comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act requires, among other things, that (a) immediately after issuance and before any dividend or other distribution is made with respect to our common stock and before any purchase of common stock is made, such preferred stock together with all other indebtedness and senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of our total assets after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be and (b) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if dividends on such preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under the Investment Company Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. For example, holders of preferred stock would vote separately from the holders of common stock on a proposal to cease operations as a BDC. We believe that the availability for issuance of preferred stock may provide us with increased flexibility in structuring future financings and acquisitions.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS; INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCE OF EXPENSES

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final adjudication as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision, which eliminates directors' and officers' liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

Our charter authorizes us to obligate ourselves, and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her service in that capacity and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of us in any of the capacities described above and any of our employees or agents or any employees or agents of our predecessor. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, we will not indemnify any person for any liability to which such person would be subject by reason of such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

In addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and certain of our officers and with

219

members of our investment adviser's investment committee and we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our future directors, members of our investment committee and certain of our officers. The indemnification agreements provide these directors, officers and other persons the maximum indemnification permitted under Maryland law and the Investment Company Act. The agreements provide, among other things, for the advancement of expenses and indemnification for liabilities that such person may incur by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer or member of our investment adviser's investment committee in any action or proceeding arising out of the performance of such person's services as a present or former director or officer or member of our investment adviser's investment committee.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (x) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (y) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

PROVISIONS OF THE MARYLAND GENERAL CORPORATION LAW AND OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a potential acquiror to acquire us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of discouraging any such acquisition proposals because, among other things, the negotiation of such proposals may improve their terms.

Classified Board of Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms, with the term of office of only one of the three classes expiring each year. A classified board may render a change in control of us or removal of our incumbent management more difficult. We believe, however, that the longer time required to elect a majority of a classified board of directors helps to ensure the continuity and stability of our management and policies.

220

Election of Directors

Our charter and bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors will be required to elect a director. Pursuant to the charter, our board of directors may amend the bylaws to alter the vote required to elect directors.

Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal

Our charter provides that the number of directors will be set only by the board of directors in accordance with our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that a majority of our entire board of directors may at any time increase or decrease the number of directors. However, unless our bylaws are amended, the number of directors may never be less than four or more than eleven. Our charter sets forth our election, subject to certain requirements, to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law regarding the filling of vacancies on the board of directors. Accordingly, except as may be provided by the board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, any and all vacancies on the board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act.

Our charter provides that a director may be removed only for cause, as defined in our charter, and then only by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.

Action by Stockholders

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous written or electronically transmitted consent instead of a meeting. These provisions, combined with the requirements of our bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.

Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (c) by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by the bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors at a special meeting may be made only (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (b) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with the bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by the bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the bylaws.

The purpose of requiring stockholders to give us advance notice of nominations and other business is to afford our board of directors a meaningful opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and the advisability of any other proposed business and, to the extent deemed

221

necessary or desirable by our board of directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of stockholders. Although our bylaws do not give our board of directors any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals recommending certain action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to us and our stockholders.

Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by our board of directors and certain of our officers. Additionally, our bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders must be called by the secretary of the corporation to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.

Approval of Extraordinary Corporate Action; Amendment of Charter and Bylaws

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter generally provides for approval of charter amendments and extraordinary transactions by the stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter also provides that certain charter amendments and any proposal for our conversion, whether by merger or otherwise, from a closed-end company to an open-end company or any proposal for our liquidation or dissolution requires the approval of the stockholders entitled to cast at least 80 percent of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter. However, if such amendment or proposal is approved by at least two-thirds of our continuing directors (as defined below) (in addition to approval by our board of directors), such amendment or proposal may be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such a matter. The "continuing directors" are defined in our charter as our current directors as well as those directors whose nomination for election by the stockholders or whose election by the directors to fill vacancies is approved by a majority of the continuing directors then on the board of directors.

Our charter and bylaws provide that the board of directors will have the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws.

No Appraisal Rights

Except with respect to appraisal rights arising in connection with the Control Share Acquisition Act discussed below, as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights unless a majority of our board of directors determines that such rights will apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of stock, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.

222

Control Share Acquisitions

The Control Share Acquisition Act provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquiror, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquiror or in respect of which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:

•
  one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
•
  one-third or more but less than a majority; or
•
  a majority or more of all voting power.

The requisite stockholder approval must be obtained each time an acquiror crosses one of the thresholds of voting power set forth above. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the corporation may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the corporation to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including, as provided in our bylaws, compliance with the Investment Company Act, which will prohibit any such redemption other than in limited circumstances. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved or, if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition.

The Control Share Acquisition Act does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.

Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares of stock and, as a result, any control shares of the Company will have the same voting rights as all of the other shares of the Company common stock. Such provision could be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. However, we will amend our bylaws to be subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act only if the board of directors determines that it would be in our best interests and we determine (after consultation with the Staff) that our being subject to the Control Share Acquisition Act does not conflict with the Investment Company Act.

223

Business Combinations

Under Maryland law, "business combinations" between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:

•
  any person who, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's outstanding voting stock; or
•
  an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.

A person is not an interested stockholder under this statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which such person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

•
  80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and
•
  two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.

The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Our board of directors has adopted a resolution that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from the provisions of the Business Combination Act, provided that the business combination is first approved by the board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. If this resolution is repealed, or the board of directors does not otherwise approve a business combination, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Conflict with the Investment Company Act

Our bylaws provide that, if and to the extent that any provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law, including the Control Share Acquisition Act (if we amend our bylaws to be subject to such act) and the Business Combination Act, or any provision of our charter or bylaws conflicts with any provision of the Investment Company Act, the applicable provision of the Investment Company Act will control.

224

DESCRIPTION OF OUR DEBT SECURITIES

We may issue debt securities in one or more series. The specific material terms and conditions of each series of debt securities will be described in the particular prospectus supplement relating to that series. The prospectus supplement may or may not modify the general terms found in this prospectus and will be filed with the SEC. For a complete description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, you should read both this prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to that particular series.

As required by federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a document called an "indenture." An indenture is a contract between us and U.S. Bank National Association, a financial institution acting as trustee on your behalf, and is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described in the second paragraph under "Events of Default—Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs." Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us.

Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities and the indenture. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of debt securities. For example, in this section, we use capitalized words to signify terms that are specifically defined in the indenture. Some of the definitions are repeated in this prospectus, but for the rest you will need to read the indenture. We have filed the form of the indenture with the SEC. See "Available Information" for information on how to obtain a copy of the indenture.

The prospectus supplement, which will accompany this prospectus, will describe the particular series of debt securities being offered, including, among other things:

•
  the designation or title of the series of debt securities;
•
  the total principal amount of the series of debt securities;
•
  the percentage of the principal amount at which the series of debt securities will be offered;
•
  the date or dates on which principal will be payable;
•
  the rate or rates (which may be either fixed or variable) and/or the method of determining such rate or rates of interest, if any;
•
  the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, or the method of determining such date or dates, and the date or dates on which any interest will be payable;
•
  the terms for redemption, extension or early repayment, if any;
•
  the currencies in which the series of debt securities are issued and payable;
•
  whether the amount of payments of principal, premium or interest, if any, on a series of debt securities will be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method (which could be based on one or more currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices) and how these amounts will be determined;
•
  the place or places, if any, other than or in addition to the City of New York, of payment, transfer, conversion and/or exchange of the debt securities;
•
  the denominations in which the offered debt securities will be issued;
•
  the provision for any sinking fund;

225

•
  any restrictive covenants;
•
  any Events of Default;
•
  whether the series of debt securities is issuable in certificated form;
•
  any provisions for defeasance or covenant defeasance;
•
  if applicable, U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to original issue discount;
•
  whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem the debt securities rather than pay the additional amounts (and the terms of this option);
•
  whether the debt securities are subject to subordination and the terms of such subordination;
•
  the listing, if any, on a securities exchange; and
•
  any other terms.

The debt securities may be secured or unsecured obligations. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, will be paid by us in immediately available funds.

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness if our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any indebtedness and senior securities remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit the distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. Specifically, we may be precluded from declaring dividends or repurchasing shares of our common stock unless our asset coverage is at least 200%. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary or emergency purposes without regard to asset coverage. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital."

GENERAL

The indenture provides that any debt securities proposed to be sold under this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement ("offered debt securities") may be issued under the indenture in one or more series.

For purposes of this prospectus, any reference to the payment of principal of or premium or interest, if any, on debt securities will include additional amounts if required by the terms of the debt securities.

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder from time to time. Debt securities issued under the indenture, when a single trustee is acting for all debt securities issued under the indenture, are called the "indenture securities." The indenture also provides that there may be more than one trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or more different series of indenture securities. See "Resignation of Trustee" below. At a time when two or more trustees are acting under the indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the term "indenture securities" means the one or more series of debt securities with respect to which each respective trustee is acting. In the event that there is more than one trustee under the indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee described in this prospectus will extend only to the one or more series of indenture

226

securities for which it is trustee. If two or more trustees are acting under the indenture, then the indenture securities for which each trustee is acting would be treated as if issued under separate indentures.

The indenture does not contain any provisions that give you protection in the event we issue a large amount of debt or we are acquired by another entity.

We refer you to the prospectus supplement for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or our covenants that are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection.

We have the ability to issue indenture securities with terms different from those of indenture securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, to reopen a previous issue of a series of indenture securities and issue additional indenture securities of that series unless the reopening was restricted when that series was created.

We expect that we will usually issue debt securities in book entry only form represented by global securities.

PAYMENT AND PAYING AGENTS

We will pay interest to the person listed in the applicable trustee's records as the owner of the debt security at the close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if that person no longer owns the debt security on the interest due date. That day, usually about two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is called the "record date." Because we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the holders on the record date, holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between themselves the appropriate purchase price. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller based on their respective ownership periods within the particular interest period. This prorated interest amount is called "accrued interest."

Payments on Global Securities

We will make payments on a global security in accordance with the applicable policies of the depositary as in effect from time to time. Under those policies, we will make payments directly to the depositary, or its nominee, and not to any indirect holders who own beneficial interests in the global security. An indirect holder's right to those payments will be governed by the rules and practices of the depositary and its participants.

Payments on Certificated Securities

We will make payments on a certificated debt security as follows. We will pay interest that is due on an interest payment date by check mailed on the interest payment date to the holder at his or her address shown on the trustee's records as of the close of business on the regular record date. We will make all payments of principal and premium, if any, by check at the office of the applicable trustee in New York, NY and/or at other offices that may be specified in the prospectus supplement or in a notice to holders against surrender of the debt security.

Alternatively, if the holder asks us to do so, we will pay any amount that becomes due on the debt security by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank in New York City, on the due date. To request payment by wire, the holder must give the applicable trustee or other paying agent appropriate transfer instructions at least 15 business days before the requested wire payment is due. In the case of any interest payment due on an interest payment date, the instructions must be given by the person who is the holder on the relevant regular record date. Any wire

227

instructions, once properly given, will remain in effect unless and until new instructions are given in the manner described above.

Payment When Offices Are Closed

If any payment is due on a debt security on a day that is not a business day, we will make the payment on the next day that is a business day. Payments made on the next business day in this situation will be treated under the indenture as if they were made on the original due date, except as otherwise indicated in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Such payment will not result in a default under any debt security or the indenture, and no interest will accrue on the payment amount from the original due date to the next day that is a business day.

Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive payments on their debt securities.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

You will have rights if an Event of Default occurs in respect of the debt securities of your series and is not cured, as described later in this subsection.

The term "Event of Default" in respect of the debt securities of your series means any of the following (unless the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities states otherwise):

•
  We do not pay the principal of, or any premium on, a debt security of the series on its due date, and do not cure this default within 5 days.
•
  We do not pay interest on a debt security of the series when due, and such default is not cured within 30 days.
•
  We do not deposit any sinking fund payment in respect of debt securities of the series on its due date, and do not cure this default within 5 days.
•
  We remain in breach of a covenant in respect of debt securities of the series for 60 days after we receive a written notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of debt securities of the series.
•
  We file for bankruptcy or certain other events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur and remain undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days.
•
  On the last business day of each of twenty-four consecutive calendar months, we have an asset coverage of less than 100%.
•
  Any other Event of Default in respect of debt securities of the series described in the applicable prospectus supplement occurs.

An Event of Default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any other series of debt securities issued under the same or any other indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except in the payment of principal, premium or interest, if it considers the withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders.

Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs

If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is

228

called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. In certain circumstances, a declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series.

The trustee is not required to take any action under the indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability (called an "indemnity") (Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939). If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. The trustee may refuse to follow those directions in certain circumstances. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy will be treated as a waiver of that right, remedy or Event of Default.

Before you are allowed to bypass your trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the debt securities, the following must occur:

•
  You must give your trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
•
  The holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default and must offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action.
•
  The trustee must not have taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity.
•
  The holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities must not have given the trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice during that 60 day period.

However, you are entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on your debt securities on or after the due date.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may waive any past defaults other than:

•
  the payment of principal, any premium or interest; or
•
  in respect of a covenant that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder.

Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction to or make a request of the trustee and how to declare or cancel an acceleration of maturity.

Each year, we will furnish to each trustee a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the indenture and the debt securities, or else specifying any default.

MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION

Under the terms of the indenture, we are generally permitted to consolidate or merge with another entity. We are also permitted to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another entity.

229

However, unless the prospectus supplement relating to certain debt securities states otherwise, we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met:

•
  Where we merge out of existence or sell our assets, the resulting entity must agree to be legally responsible for our obligations under the debt securities.
•
  Immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing.
•
  Under the indenture, no merger or sale of assets may be made if as a result any of our property or assets or any property or assets of one of our subsidiaries, if any, would become subject to any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance unless either (a) the mortgage, lien or other encumbrance could be created pursuant to the limitation on liens covenant in the indenture without equally and ratably securing the indenture securities or (b) the indenture securities are secured equally and ratably with or prior to the debt secured by the mortgage, lien or other encumbrance.
•
  We must deliver certain certificates and documents to the trustee.
•
  We must satisfy any other requirements specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities.

MODIFICATION OR WAIVER

There are three types of changes we can make to the indenture and the debt securities issued thereunder.

Changes Requiring Your Approval

First, there are changes that we cannot make to your debt securities without your specific approval. The following is a list of those types of changes:

•
  change the stated maturity of the principal of or interest on a debt security;
•
  reduce any amounts due on a debt security;
•
  reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a security following a default;
•
  adversely affect any right of repayment at the holder's option;
•
  change the place (except as otherwise described in the prospectus or prospectus supplement) or currency of payment on a debt security;
•
  impair your right to sue for payment;
•
  adversely affect any right to convert or exchange a debt security in accordance with its terms;
•
  modify the subordination provisions in the indenture in a manner that is adverse to holders of the debt securities;
•
  reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to modify or amend the indenture;
•
  reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or to waive certain defaults;

230

•
  modify any other aspect of the provisions of the indenture dealing with supplemental indentures, modification and waiver of past defaults, changes to the quorum or voting requirements or the waiver of certain covenants; and
•
  change any obligation we have to pay additional amounts.

Changes Not Requiring Approval

The second type of change does not require any vote by the holders of the debt securities. This type is limited to clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the outstanding debt securities in any material respect. We also do not need any approval to make any change that affects only debt securities to be issued under the indenture after the change takes effect.

Changes Requiring Majority Approval

Any other change to the indenture and the debt securities would require the following approval:

•
  If the change affects only one series of debt securities, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of that series.
•
  If the change affects more than one series of debt securities issued under the same indenture, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series affected by the change, with all affected series voting together as one class for this purpose.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series of debt securities issued under an indenture, voting together as one class for this purpose, may waive our compliance with some of our covenants in that indenture. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or of any of the matters covered by the bullet points included above under "—Changes Requiring Your Approval."

Further Details Concerning Voting

When taking a vote, we will use the following rules to decide how much principal to attribute to a debt security:

•
  For original issue discount securities, we will use the principal amount that would be due and payable on the voting date if the maturity of these debt securities were accelerated to that date because of a default.
•
  For debt securities whose principal amount is not known (for example, because it is based on an index), we will use a special rule for that debt security described in the prospectus supplement.
•
  For debt securities denominated in one or more foreign currencies, we will use the U.S. dollar equivalent.

231

Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust money for their payment or redemption. Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described later under "Defeasance—Full Defeasance."

We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding indenture securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indenture. If we set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of one or more series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding indenture securities of those series on the record date and must be taken within eleven months following the record date.

Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how approval may be granted or denied if we seek to change the indenture or the debt securities or request a waiver.

DEFEASANCE

The following provisions will be applicable to each series of debt securities unless we state in the applicable prospectus supplement that the provisions of covenant defeasance and full defeasance will not be applicable to that series.

Covenant Defeasance

If certain conditions are satisfied, we can make the deposit described below and be released from some of the restrictive covenants in the indenture under which the particular series was issued. This is called "covenant defeasance." In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having money and government securities set aside in trust to repay your debt securities. If applicable, you also would be released from the subordination provisions described under "Indenture Provisions—Subordination" below. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:

•
  If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates.
•
  We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that, under current U.S. federal income tax law, we may make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity.

We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel stating that the above deposit does not require registration by us under the Investment Company Act and a legal opinion and officers' certificate stating that all conditions precedent to covenant defeasance have been complied with.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, you can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit or the trustee is prevented from making payment. For example, if one of the remaining Events of Default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities became immediately due and payable, there might be a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.

232

Full Defeasance

If there is a change in U.S. federal tax law, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from all payment and other obligations on the debt securities of a particular series (called "full defeasance") if we put in place the following other arrangements for you to be repaid:

•
  If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates.
•
  We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion confirming that there has been a change in current U.S. federal tax law or an IRS ruling that allows us to make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would be treated as though we paid you your share of the cash and notes or bonds at the time the cash and notes or bonds were deposited in trust in exchange for your debt securities and you would recognize gain or loss on the debt securities at the time of the deposit.
•
  We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel stating that the above deposit does not require registration by us under the Investment Company Act and a legal opinion and officers' certificate stating that all conditions precedent to defeasance have been complied with.

If we ever did accomplish full defeasance, as described above, you would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the debt securities. You could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever became bankrupt or insolvent. If applicable, you would also be released from the subordination provisions described later under "Indenture Provisions—Subordination."

FORM, EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATED REGISTERED SECURITIES

Holders may exchange their certificated securities, if any, for debt securities of smaller denominations or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed.

Holders may exchange or transfer their certificated securities, if any, at the office of their trustee. We have appointed the trustee to act as our agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders transferring debt securities. We may appoint another entity to perform these functions or perform them ourselves.

Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange their certificated securities, if any, but they may be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge associated with the transfer or exchange. The transfer or exchange will be made only if our transfer agent is satisfied with the holder's proof of legal ownership.

If we have designated additional transfer agents for your debt security, they will be named in your prospectus supplement. We may appoint additional transfer agents or cancel the appointment of any particular transfer agent. We may also approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts.

If any certificated securities of a particular series are redeemable and we redeem less than all the debt securities of that series, we may block the transfer or exchange of those debt securities during

233

the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of any certificated securities selected for redemption, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security that will be partially redeemed.

RESIGNATION OF TRUSTEE

Each trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of indenture securities provided that a successor trustee is appointed to act with respect to these series. In the event that two or more persons are acting as trustee with respect to different series of indenture securities under the indenture, each of the trustees will be a trustee of a trust separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee.

INDENTURE PROVISIONS—SUBORDINATION

Upon any distribution of our assets upon our dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any indenture securities denominated as subordinated debt securities is to be subordinated to the extent provided in the indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below), but our obligation to you to make payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such subordinated debt securities will not otherwise be affected. In addition, no payment on account of principal (or premium, if any), sinking fund or interest, if any, may be made on such subordinated debt securities at any time unless full payment of all amounts due in respect of the principal (and premium, if any), sinking fund and interest on Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in money or money's worth.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by us is received by the trustee in respect of subordinated debt securities or by the holders of any of such subordinated debt securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, the payment or distribution must be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or on their behalf for application to the payment of all the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all the Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness upon this distribution by us, the holders of such subordinated debt securities will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent of payments made to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness out of the distributive share of such subordinated debt securities.

By reason of this subordination, in the event of a distribution of our assets upon our insolvency, certain of our senior creditors may recover more, ratably, than holders of any subordinated debt securities. The indenture provides that these subordination provisions will not apply to money and securities held in trust under the defeasance provisions of the indenture.

"Senior Indebtedness" is defined in the indenture as the principal of (and premium, if any) and unpaid interest on:

•
  our indebtedness (including indebtedness of others guaranteed by us), whenever created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, for money borrowed (other than indenture securities issued under the indenture and denominated as subordinated debt securities), unless in the instrument creating or evidencing the same or under which the same is outstanding it is provided that this indebtedness is not senior or prior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities, and
•
  renewals, extensions, modifications and refinancings of any of this indebtedness.

234

If this prospectus is being delivered in connection with the offering of a series of indenture securities denominated as subordinated debt securities, the accompanying prospectus supplement will set forth the approximate amount of our Senior Indebtedness outstanding as of a recent date.

THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE INDENTURE

U.S. Bank National Association will serve as the trustee under the indenture.

CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Debt securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

BOOK-ENTRY DEBT SECURITIES

The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the debt securities. The debt securities will be issued as fully- registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for the debt securities, in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.

DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC").

DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of debt securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the debt securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations

235

providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in debt securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the debt securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such debt securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the debt securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the debt securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the debt securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the debt securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the trustee on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, the trustee, or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the trustee, but disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the debt securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered. We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

236

REGULATION

We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act and have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. As with other companies regulated by the Investment Company Act, a BDC must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements. The Investment Company Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to certain transactions between BDCs and certain affiliates (including any investment advisers or sub-advisers), principal underwriters and certain affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters. Among other things, we generally cannot invest in any portfolio company in which a fund managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates (other than us and our downstream affiliates) currently has an investment (although we may co-invest with funds managed by Ares or any of its downstream affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures). Certain types of co- investment transactions would only be permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, for which we have applied. Any such order will be subject to certain terms and conditions. Further, there is no assurance that the application for exemptive relief will be granted by the SEC.

The Investment Company Act contains certain restrictions on certain types of investments we may make. Specifically, we may only invest up to 30% of our portfolio in entities that are not considered "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

The Investment Company Act also requires that a majority of our directors be persons other than "interested persons," as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, referred to herein as "independent directors." In addition, the Investment Company Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDC unless that change is approved by holders of at least a majority of our outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment Company Act, the vote of holders of at least a "majority of outstanding voting securities" means the vote of the holders of the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock present at a meeting or represented by proxy if holders of more than 50% of the shares of our common stock are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

We may invest up to 100% of our assets in securities acquired directly from issuers in privately negotiated transactions. With respect to such securities, we may, for the purpose of public resale, be deemed an "underwriter" as that term is defined in the Securities Act. Our intention is to not write (sell) or buy put or call options to manage risks associated with the publicly traded securities of our portfolio companies. We may enter into hedging transactions to manage the risks associated with interest rate and currency fluctuations. We may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or options to purchase the common stock of our portfolio companies in connection with acquisition financings or other investments. In connection with such an acquisition, we may acquire rights to require the issuers of acquired securities or their affiliates to repurchase them under certain circumstances. We also do not intend to acquire securities issued by any investment company that exceed the limits imposed by the Investment Company Act. Under these limits, we generally cannot acquire more than 3% of the voting stock of any investment company (as defined in the Investment Company Act), invest more than 5% of the value of our total assets in the securities of one investment company or invest more than 10% of the value of our total assets in the securities of investment companies in the aggregate. With regard to that portion of our portfolio invested in securities issued by investment companies, it should be noted that such investments might subject our stockholders to additional expenses.

237

SBA REGULATION

In April 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, AVF LP, received a license from the SBA to operate as a SBIC under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies, including regulating the types of financings, restricting investments to only include small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries, and requiring capitalization thresholds that may limit distributions to the Company. AVF LP will invest in small businesses, as such term is defined in the SBA regulations, in accordance with SBA regulations and expects that such investments will primarily be in early-stage and/or venture capital-backed companies.

The license from the SBA allows AVF LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures carry long-term fixed rates that are generally lower than rates on comparable bank and other debt. Leverage through SBA-guaranteed debentures is subject to required capitalization thresholds. Current SBA regulations limit the amount that any SBIC may borrow to $150 million. Debentures guaranteed by the SBA have a maturity of ten years, require semi-annual payments of interest and do not require any principal payments prior to maturity. AVF LP is subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to reporting financial information, such as the extent of capital impairment if applicable, on a regular basis and annual examinations conducted by the SBA. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to AVF LP's assets over the Company's stockholders in the event AVF LP is liquidated or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by AVF LP upon an event of default.

SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private investor capital to eligible small businesses as defined by the SBA. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses, invest in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services. Under present SBA regulations, eligible small businesses generally include businesses that (together with their affiliates) have a tangible net worth not exceeding $19.5 million for the most recent fiscal year and have average annual net income after U.S. federal income taxes not exceeding $6.5 million (average net income to be computed without benefit of any carryover loss) for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, an SBIC must invest 25% of its investment capital in "smaller enterprises," as defined by the SBA. The definition of a smaller enterprise generally includes businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million for the most recent fiscal year and have average annual net income after U.S. federal income taxes not exceeding $2.0 million (average net income to be computed without benefit of any net carryover loss) for the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative size standard criteria to determine eligibility for designation as an eligible small business or smaller enterprise, which criteria depend on the primary industry in which the business is engaged and is based on such factors as the number of employees and gross revenue. However, once an SBIC has invested in an eligible small business, it may continue to make follow on investments in the company, regardless of the size of the company at the time of the follow on investment.

The SBA prohibits an SBIC from providing funds to small businesses with certain characteristics, such as businesses with the majority of their employees located outside the U.S., or from investing in project finance, real estate, farmland, financial intermediaries or "passive" (i.e., non-operating) businesses. Without prior SBA approval, an SBIC may not invest an amount equal to more than approximately 30% of the SBIC's regulatory capital in any one company and its affiliates.

The SBA places certain limitations on the financing terms of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies (such as limiting the permissible interest rate on debt securities held by an SBIC in a portfolio company). An SBIC may exercise control over a small business for a period of up to seven

238

years from the date on which the SBIC initially acquires its control position. This control period may be extended for an additional period of time with the SBA's prior written approval.

The SBA restricts the ability of an SBIC to lend money to any of its officers, directors and employees or to invest in associates thereof. The SBA also prohibits, without prior SBA approval, a "change of control" of an SBIC or transfers that would result in any person (or a group of persons acting in concert) owning 10% or more of a class of capital stock of a licensed SBIC. A "change of control" is any event which would result in the transfer of the power, direct or indirect, to direct the management and policies of an SBIC, whether through ownership, contractual arrangements or otherwise.

The SBA regulations require, among other things, an annual periodic examination of a licensed SBIC by an SBA examiner to determine the SBIC's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations, and the performance of a financial audit by an independent auditor.

QUALIFYING ASSETS

A BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) below. Thus, under the Investment Company Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company's total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are the following:

(1)
  Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions):
  (a)
    is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the Investment Company Act as any issuer that:
    (i)
      is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;
    (ii)
      is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the Investment Company Act; and
    (iii)
      does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange;
  (b)
    is a company that meets the requirements of (a)(i) and (ii) above, but is not an eligible portfolio company because it has issued a class of securities on a national securities exchange, if:
    (i)
      at the time of the purchase, we own at least 50% of the (x) greatest number of equity securities of such issuer and securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities; and (y) the greatest amount of debt securities of such issuer, held by us at any point in time during the period when such issuer was an eligible portfolio company; and

239

(ii)
  we are one of the 20 largest holders of record of such issuer's outstanding voting securities; or

(c)
  is a company that meets the requirements of (a)(i) and (ii) above, but is not an eligible portfolio company because it has issued a class of securities on a national securities exchange, if the aggregate market value of such company's outstanding voting and non-voting common equity is less than $250.0 million.

(2)
  Securities of any eligible portfolio company that we control.
(3)
  Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities, was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lending or financing arrangements.
(4)
  Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and we already own 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company.
(5)
  Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the exercise of warrants or rights relating to such securities.
(6)
  Cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

MANAGERIAL ASSISTANCE TO PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

BDCs generally must offer to make available to the issuer of portfolio securities significant managerial assistance, by either offering, and providing if accepted, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management operations or business objectives of the portfolio company or by exercising a controlling influence over the management or policies of a portfolio company, except in circumstances where either (i) the business development company does not treat such issuer of securities as an eligible portfolio company, or (ii) the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together and one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance.

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS

Pending investment in other types of "qualifying assets," as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to, collectively, as "temporary investments," so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets. Typically, we will invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of our total assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we may not meet the Diversification Tests in order to qualify as a RIC. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. Our investment adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

240

INDEBTEDNESS AND SENIOR SECURITIES

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any indebtedness and senior securities remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. Specifically, we may be precluded from declaring dividends or repurchasing shares of our common stock unless our asset coverage is at least 200%. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary or emergency purposes without regard to asset coverage. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital."

CODE OF ETHICS

We and Ares Capital Management have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to each code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by us, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code's requirements. Our code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. For information on how to obtain a copy of the code of ethics, see "Available Information."

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

SEC-registered advisers that have the authority to vote (client) proxies (which authority may be implied from a general grant of investment discretion) are required to adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of its clients. Registered advisers also must maintain certain records on proxy voting. In most cases, we invest in securities that do not generally entitle us to voting rights in our portfolio companies. When we do have voting rights, we delegate the exercise of such rights to Ares Capital Management. Ares Capital Management's proxy voting policies and procedures are summarized below:

In determining how to vote, officers of our investment adviser consult with each other and other investment professionals of Ares, taking into account our and our investors' interests as well as any potential conflicts of interest. Our investment adviser consults with legal counsel to identify potential conflicts of interest. Where a potential conflict of interest exists, our investment adviser may, if it so elects, resolve it by following the recommendation of a disinterested third party, by seeking the direction of the independent directors of the Company or, in extreme cases, by abstaining from voting. While our investment adviser may retain an outside service to provide voting recommendations and to assist in analyzing votes, our investment adviser will not delegate its voting authority to any third party.

An officer of Ares Capital Management keeps a written record of how all such proxies are voted. Our investment adviser retains records of (a) proxy voting policies and procedures, (b) all proxy statements received (or it may rely on proxy statements filed on the SEC's EDGAR system in lieu thereof), (c) all votes cast, (d) investor requests for voting information and (e) any specific documents prepared or received in connection with a decision on a proxy vote. If it uses an outside service, our investment adviser may rely on such service to maintain copies of proxy statements and records, so long as such service will provide a copy of such documents promptly upon request.

Our investment adviser's proxy voting policies are not exhaustive and are designed to be responsive to the wide range of issues that may be subject to a proxy vote. In general, our investment adviser votes our proxies in accordance with these guidelines unless: (a) it has determined otherwise

241

due to the specific and unusual facts and circumstances with respect to a particular vote, (b) the subject matter of the vote is not covered by these guidelines, (c) a material conflict of interest is present or (d) our investment adviser finds it necessary to vote contrary to its general guidelines to maximize stockholder value or the best interests of Ares Capital. In reviewing proxy issues, our investment adviser generally uses the following guidelines:

Elections of Directors: In general, our investment adviser will vote proxies in favor of the management-proposed slate of directors. If there is a proxy fight for seats on a portfolio company's board of directors, or our investment adviser determines that there are other compelling reasons for withholding our vote, it will determine the appropriate vote on the matter. Our investment adviser may withhold votes for directors when it (a) believes a direct conflict of interest exists between the interests of the director and the stockholders, (b) concludes that the actions of the director are unlawful, unethical or negligent or (c) believes the board is entrenched in or dealing inadequately with performance problems, and/or acting with insufficient independence between the board and management. Finally, our investment adviser may withhold votes for directors of non-U.S. issuers where there is insufficient information about the nominees disclosed in the proxy statement.

Appointment of Auditors: We believe that a portfolio company remains in the best position to choose its independent auditors and our investment adviser will generally support management's recommendation in this regard.

Changes in Capital Structure: Changes in a portfolio company's charter or bylaws may be required by state or federal regulation. In general, our investment adviser will cast our votes in accordance with the management on such proposals. However, our investment adviser will consider carefully any proposal regarding a change in corporate structure that is not required by state or federal regulation.

Corporate Restructurings, Mergers and Acquisitions: We believe proxy votes dealing with corporate reorganizations are an extension of the investment decision. Accordingly, our investment adviser will analyze such proposals on a case-by-case basis and vote in accordance with its perception of our interests.

Proposals Affecting Stockholder Rights: We will generally vote in favor of proposals that give stockholders a greater voice in the affairs of a portfolio company and oppose any measure that seeks to limit such rights. However, when analyzing such proposals, our investment adviser will balance the financial impact of the proposal against any impairment of stockholder rights as well as of our investment in the portfolio company.

Corporate Governance: We recognize the importance of good corporate governance. Accordingly, our investment adviser will generally favor proposals that promote transparency and accountability within a portfolio company.

Anti-Takeover Measures: Our investment adviser will evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, any proposals regarding anti-takeover measures to determine the measure's likely effect on stockholder value dilution.

Stock Splits: Our investment adviser will generally vote with management on stock split matters.

Limited Liability of Directors: Our investment adviser will generally vote with management on matters that could adversely affect the limited liability of directors.

Social and Corporate Responsibility: Our investment adviser will review proposals related to social, political and environmental issues to determine whether they may adversely affect stockholder

242

value. Our investment adviser may abstain from voting on such proposals where they do not have a readily determinable financial impact on stockholder value.

Stockholders may obtain information regarding how we voted proxies with respect to our portfolio securities during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2016 free of charge by making a written request for proxy voting information to our Investor Relations Department at Ares Capital Corporation, 245 Park Avenue, 44th Floor, New York, New York 10167, by calling us at (888) 818-5298 or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

PRIVACY PRINCIPLES

We endeavor to maintain the privacy of our recordholders and to safeguard their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

Generally, we will not receive any non-public personal information about recordholders of the common stock of the Company, although certain of our recordholders' non-public information may become available to us. The non-public personal information that we may receive falls into the following categories:

•
  information we receive from recordholders, whether we receive it orally, in writing or electronically. This includes recordholders' communications to us concerning their investment;
•
  information about recordholders' transactions and history with us; and
•
  other general information that we may obtain about recordholders, such as demographic and contact information such as address.

We disclose non-public personal information about recordholders:

•
  to our affiliates (such as our investment adviser and administrator) and their employees for everyday business purposes;
•
  to our service providers (such as our accountants, attorneys, custodians, transfer agent, underwriters and proxy solicitors) and their employees as is necessary to service recordholder accounts or otherwise provide the applicable service;
•
  to comply with court orders, subpoenas, lawful discovery requests, or other legal or regulatory requirements; or
•
  as allowed or required by applicable law or regulation.

When the Company shares non-public recordholder personal information referred to above, the information is made available for limited business purposes and under controlled circumstances designed to protect our recordholders' privacy. The Company does not permit use of recordholder information for any non-business or marketing purpose, nor does the Company permit third parties to rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose information to any other party.

The Company's service providers, such as its adviser, administrator, and transfer agent, are required to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect recordholder non-public personal information; to prevent unauthorized access or use; and to dispose of such information when it is no longer required.

Personnel of affiliates may access recordholder information only for business purposes. The degree of access is based on the sensitivity of the information and on personnel need for the information to service a recordholder's account or comply with legal requirements.

243

If a recordholder ceases to be a recordholder, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described above. We may choose to modify our privacy policies at any time. Before we do so, we will notify recordholders and provide a description of our privacy policy.

In the event of a corporate change in control resulting from, for example, a sale to, or merger with, another entity, or in the event of a sale of assets, we reserve the right to transfer non-public personal information of holders of our securities to the new party in control or the party acquiring assets.

OTHER

We have designated a chief compliance officer and established a compliance program pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act. We are periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the Investment Company Act.

We are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect us against larceny and embezzlement. Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to the Company or our stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's office.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and The NASDAQ Global Select Market Corporate Governance Regulations

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

In addition, The NASDAQ Global Select Market has adopted various corporate governance requirements as part of its listing standards. We believe we are in compliance with such corporate governance listing standards. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future listing standards and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

244

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Our securities are held under a custody agreement by U.S. Bank National Association. The address of the custodian is Corporate Trust Services, One Federal Street, 3rd Floor, Boston, MA 02110. Computershare acts as the transfer agent, dividend paying agent and registrar for our common stock. The principal business address of Computershare is 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

Since we generally acquire and dispose of our investments in privately negotiated transactions, we infrequently use brokers in the normal course of business.

Subject to policies established by our board of directors, our investment adviser, Ares Capital Management, is primarily responsible for the execution of the publicly traded securities portion of our portfolio transactions and the allocation of brokerage commissions. Our investment adviser does not expect to execute transactions through any particular broker or dealer, but seeks to obtain the best net results for the Company, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the firm and the firm's risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities.

While our investment adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive trade execution costs, we will not necessarily pay the lowest spread or commission available. Subject to applicable legal requirements, our investment adviser may select a broker based partly upon brokerage or research services provided to our investment adviser and us and any other clients. In return for such services, we may pay a higher commission than other brokers would charge if our investment adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided.

We also pay brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

The aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by us during the three most recent fiscal years is $66,003.

245

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings or series, up to $1,000,000,000 of our debt securities in one or more underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades, best efforts offerings or a combination of these methods. We may sell the debt securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers, through agents or through a combination of any such methods of sale. Any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of the debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. A prospectus supplement or supplements will also describe the terms of the offering of the debt securities, including: the purchase price of the debt securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional debt securities from us; any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents' or underwriters' compensation; the public offering price; any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and any securities exchange or market on which the debt securities may be listed. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the debt securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

The distribution of the debt securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The price at which the debt securities may be distributed may represent a discount from prevailing market prices.

In connection with the sale of the debt securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the debt securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the debt securities to or through dealers and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the debt securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions they receive from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of the debt securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified and any such compensation received from us will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The maximum aggregate commission or discount to be received by any member of FINRA or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the debt securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. We may also reimburse the underwriter or agent for certain fees and legal expenses incurred by it.

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying debt security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the debt securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the debt securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the debt securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

We may sell the debt securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of debt securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

246

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities offered hereby will be a new issue with no trading market. We may elect to list the debt securities on any exchanges, but we are not obligated to do so. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any of the debt securities.

Under agreements that we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the debt securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the debt securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by us. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the debt securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third parties in such sale transactions will be underwriters and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, our debt securities offered hereby will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

247

LEGAL MATTERS

The legality of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Proskauer Rose LLP, Los Angeles, California and Venable LLP, Baltimore, Maryland. Certain legal matters in connection with the offering will be passed upon for the underwriters, if any, by the counsel named in the prospectus supplement.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ares Capital Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ares Capital Corporation (and subsidiaries) (the Company) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, and the financial highlights (included in note 14), for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, by correspondence with custodians, or by other appropriate audit procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ares Capital Corporation (and subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Ares Capital Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2016 expressed as an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Ares Capital Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

As explained in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include investments valued at $9.1 billion (175% of net assets), whose fair values have been estimated by the Board of Directors and management in the absence of readily determinable fair values. Such estimates are based on financial and other information provided by management of its portfolio companies, pertinent market and industry data, as well as input from independent valuation firms. These investments are valued in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investments are sold in a principal market to market participants. The Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to these valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. $9.1 billion of investments at December 31, 2015 are valued based on unobservable inputs. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. These determinations of fair value could differ materially from the values that would have been utilized had a ready market for these investments existed.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ares Capital Corporation:

We have audited Ares Capital Corporation's (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Ares Capital Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Ares Capital Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Ares Capital Corporation (and subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, and the financial highlights (included in note 14), for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, and our report dated February 24, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

  Together with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, "GE"), the Company has co-invested through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC d/b/a the "Senior Secured Loan Program" (the "SSLP"). The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

  Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(10)
  Excepted from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.

  In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") informally communicated to certain business development companies ("BDCs") the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under Investment Company Act) (i.e. not eligible to included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the "Concept Release") which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company". The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company's position. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act (using the Staff's methodology described above solely for this purpose), 25% of the Company's total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered "non-qualifying assets" as of December 31, 2015.

  Together with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, "GE"), the Company has co-invested through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC d/b/a the "Senior Secured Loan Program" (the "SSLP"). The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

  Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(9)
  Excepted from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(10)
  In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") informally communicated to certain business development companies ("BDCs") the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under Investment Company Act) (i.e. not eligible to included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the "Concept Release") which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company". The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company's position. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act (using the Staff's methodology described above solely for this purpose), 27% of the Company's total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered "non-qualifying assets" as of December 31, 2014.

ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2015
(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated;
for example, with the words "million," "billion" or otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION

Ares Capital Corporation (the "Company" or "ARCC") is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Investment Company Act"). The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, the Company also makes equity investments.

The Company is externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC ("Ares Capital Management" or the Company's "investment adviser"), a subsidiary of Ares Management, L.P. ("Ares Management" or "Ares"), a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations LLC ("Ares Operations" or the Company's "administrator"), a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

F-58

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of the Company's investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Company's investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Company's board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 55% of the Company's portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, the Company's investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

As part of the valuation process, the Company may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of the Company's investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets, which may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

F-59

The Company's board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•
  The Company's quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company's portfolio management team.
•
  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the Company's investment adviser's management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the Company's board of directors.
•
  The audit committee of the Company's board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms, who review a minimum of 55% of the Company's portfolio at fair value.
•
  The Company's board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Company's investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

See Note 8 for more information on the Company's valuation process.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind ("PIK") provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Company's status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income

The Company's investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to its portfolio companies and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only

F-60

available to the Company as a result of the Company's underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Company's investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan.

Other income includes fees for management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)
  Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
(2)
  Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Derivative Instruments

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such values its derivatives at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Equity Offering Expenses

The Company's offering costs, excluding underwriters' fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method or the effective yield method, depending on the type of debt instrument.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among

F-61

other requirements) meet certain source-of- income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

Dividends to Common Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Company's board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company's board of directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, then the Company's stockholders who have not "opted out" of the Company's dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company intends to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as the Company is trading at a premium to net asset value). If the Company's shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with the Company's obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan. However, the Company reserves the right to issue new shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the Company's obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if the Company's shares are trading below net asset value.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,

F-62

including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new guidance modifies the consolidation analysis for limited partnerships and similar type entities as well as variable interests in a variable interest entity, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. Additionally, it provides a scope exception to the consolidation guidance for certain entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance modifies the requirements for reporting debt issuance costs. Under the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will no longer be recorded as a separate asset, but will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU No. 2015-03. In addition, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). The additional guidance reiterates that the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings. ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 are required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The new guidance removes the requirement that investments for which net asset value is determined based on practical expedient reliance be reported utilizing the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2015-07 is required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. AGREEMENTS

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the "investment advisory and management agreement") with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company's board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory and management services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives fees from the Company consisting of a base management fee, a fee based on the Company's net investment income ("income based fee") and a fee based on the Company's net capital gains ("capital gains incentive fee"). The investment advisory and management agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Company's total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

F-63

The income based fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company's net investment income excluding income based fees and capital gains incentive fees ("pre-incentive fee net investment income") for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the income based fee and capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Company's investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the income based fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually received.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation, unrealized capital depreciation or income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. Because of the structure of the income based fee, it is possible that the Company may pay such fees in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable income based fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed "hurdle rate" of 1.75% per quarter. If market credit spreads rise, the Company may be able to invest its funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which may increase the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Company's investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an income based fee based on such net investment income. To the extent the Company has retained pre-incentive fee net investment income that has been used to calculate the income based fee, it is also included in the amount of the Company's total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

The Company pays its investment adviser an income based fee with respect to the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

•
  no income based fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company's pre- incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
•
  100% of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the "catch-up" provision. The "catch-up" is meant to provide the Company's investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and
•
  20% of the amount of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

F-64

The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of the Company's cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) the Company's cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004 (the date the Company completed its initial public offering). Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments and foreign currencies, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other assets, as well as any income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains incentive fee for such year.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company's portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company's portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company's portfolio as of the applicable capital gains incentive fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of an amendment to the capital gains incentive fee under the investment advisory and management agreement that was adopted on June 6, 2011, if the Company is required by GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment by the Company (including, for example, as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee , the "accreted or amortized cost basis" of an investment shall be an amount (the "Contractual Cost Basis") equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by the Company for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in the Company's financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in the Company's financial statements, including PIK interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in the Company's financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

The Company defers cash payment of any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees otherwise earned by the Company's investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to the Company's stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 7.0% of the Company's net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. Any deferred income based fees and capital gains incentive fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the investment advisory and management agreement.

There was no capital gains incentive fee earned by the Company's investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement (as described above) for the year ended December 31, 2015. The capital gains incentive fee earned by the Company's investment adviser as

F-65

calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $23,993 and $17,425, respectively. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $42,265 as of December 31, 2015, of which $42,265 is not currently due under the investment advisory and management agreement. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has paid capital gains incentive fees since inception totaling $57,404. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, base management fees were $134,346, income based fees were $121,390 and the reduction in capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $26,721. For the year ended December 31, 2014, base management fees were $127,997, income based fees were $118,273 and capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were $29,467. For the year ended December 31, 2013, base management fees were $104,857, income based fees were $110,511 and capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were $11,640.

Administration Agreement

The Company is party to an administration agreement, referred to herein as the "administration agreement", with its administrator, Ares Operations. Pursuant to the administration agreement, Ares Operations furnishes the Company with office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at the Company's office facilities. Under the administration agreement, Ares Operations also performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company's required administrative services, which include, among other things, providing assistance in accounting, legal, compliance, operations, technology and investor relations, being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Ares Operations assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, assists the Company in providing managerial assistance to its portfolio companies, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company's tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of its expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon its allocable portion of Ares Operations' overhead and other expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including the Company's allocable portion of the compensation of certain of its officers (including the Company's chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, general counsel, treasurer and assistant treasurer) and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

F-66

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $14,244, $13,689 and $12,317, respectively, in administrative fees. As of December 31, 2015, $3,729 of these fees were unpaid and included in "accounts payable and other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

  Includes the Company's investment in the SSLP, which represented 20.8% and 22.9% of the total investment portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

F-68

As of December 31, 2015, 2.6% of total investments at amortized cost (or 1.7% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2014, 2.2% of total investments at amortized cost (or 1.7% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status.

Senior Direct Lending Program

In December 2015, the Company established a joint venture with Varagon Capital Partners ("Varagon") to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and other partners. The joint venture is called the Senior Direct Lending Program (the "SDLP"). It is expected that the SDLP will commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. The Company may co-invest directly with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. The Company will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SDLP Certificates"), and Varagon will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. It is expected that the Company and Varagon will own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of any outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company and Varagon had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $2.9 billion in the aggregate, of which no amounts were funded. The SDLP will be capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of the Company and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required). As of December 31, 2015, the Company had agreed to make available to the SDLP (subject to the approval of the investment committee of the SDLP as described above) approximately $591 million, of which no amounts were committed or funded. The SDLP Certificates will pay a coupon of LIBOR plus a stated spread and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

See Note 6 for more information regarding the forward sale agreement between the Company and the SDLP.

Senior Secured Loan Program

The Company has co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies with GE through the "SSLP." The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). The Company has provided capital to the SSLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SSLP Certificates").

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with the Company in the SSLP, to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"). This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and GE and the Company continue to operate the SSLP. The Company and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, the Company and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments (see below) and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, the Company was advised that GECC, as the holder of the senior notes of the SSLP (the "Senior Notes"), directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the

F-69

repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes the Company). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide the Company and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between the Company and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. The Company has been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, the Company is also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that the Company will pursue any of them.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, GE and the Company had funded approximately $8.5 billion and $9.9 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. As discussed above, the Company anticipates that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that the Company and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the SSLP had commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $198.6 million and $484.3 million, respectively, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had funded approximately $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for its portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $32.6 million and $92.5 million, respectively. As discussed above, it is not anticipated that the Company will make new investments through the SSLP.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the SSLP had total assets of $8.5 billion and $10.0 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, GE's investment in the SSLP consisted of the Senior Notes of $6.2 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively, and SSLP Certificates of $285.8 million and $290.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company and GE owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SSLP Certificates.

The SSLP Certificates pay a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus approximately 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SSLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SSLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the Senior Notes held by GE. The Company expects that for so long as principal proceeds from SSLP repayments are directed entirely to repay the Senior Notes as discussed above, the yield on the SSLP Certificates will decline.

The SSLP's portfolio consisted of first lien senior secured loans to 41 and 50 different borrowers as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured loans to U.S. middle-market companies. As of December 31, 2015, none of these loans were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2014, one loan was on non-accrual status, representing 1.0% of the total loans at principal amount in the SSLP. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the largest loan to a single borrower in the SSLP's portfolio in aggregate principal amount was $345.9 million and $331.5 million, respectively, and the five largest loans to borrowers in the SSLP totaled $1.6 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. The portfolio companies in the SSLP are in industries similar to the companies in the Company's portfolio.

F-70

The amortized cost and fair value of the SSLP Certificates held by the Company were $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015, and $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The Company's yield on its investment in the SSLP at fair value was 12.3% and 13.5% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company earned interest income of $276.1 million, $275.0 million and $224.9 million, respectively, from its investment in the SSLP Certificates. The Company is also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SSLP. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, in connection with the SSLP, the Company earned capital structuring service, sourcing and other fees totaling $48.1 million, $69.7 million and $66.6 million, respectively.

In October 2015, the SSLP distributed to the Company the SSLP's entire first lien senior secured loan investment in Instituto de Banca y Comercio, Inc. ("EduK") with an estimated fair value at the time of the distribution of $67.4 million. As a result of the distribution, the SSLP fully exited its investment in EduK. Prior to such distribution, the Company directly held a position in the same first lien senior secured loan investment. As a result of the distribution, the Company reduced the cost basis of its investment in the SSLP by $67.4 million and increased the Company's cost basis in EduK for the same amount.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which allows the Company to borrow up to $1,290,000 at any one time outstanding. The end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility are May 4, 2019 and May 4, 2020, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a feature that allows, under certain circumstances, for an increase in the size of the facility to a maximum of $1,935,000. The Revolving Credit Facility generally requires payments of interest at the end of each LIBOR interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on LIBOR based loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. From the end of the revolving period to the stated maturity date, the Company is required to repay outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of the outstanding principal amount at the end of the revolving period.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional

F-73

indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders' equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) of not less than 2.0:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company's portfolio that are pledged as collateral. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were $515,000 and $170,000 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of $150,000. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $24,111 and $29,648, respectively, in letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any letters of credit issued. As of December 31, 2015, there was $750,889 available for borrowing (net of letters of credit issued) under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Since March 26, 2015, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over an "alternate base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%. From May 2, 2013 to March 25, 2015, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on an applicable spread of 2.00% over LIBOR or an applicable spread of 1.00% over an "alternate base rate." Prior to and including May 1, 2013, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.25% or a "base rate" plus an applicable spread of 1.25%. As of December 31, 2015, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.43%, 0.51%, 0.61% and 0.85%, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.17%, 0.21%, 0.26% and 0.36%, respectively. In addition to the stated interest expense on the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Since March 26, 2015, the Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.25% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. From May 2, 2013 to March 25, 2015, the Company paid a letter of credit fee of 2.25% per annum on letters of credit issued. Prior to and including May 1, 2013, the letter of credit fee was 2.50%.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in the Company's portfolio and excludes investments held by Ares Capital CP under the Revolving Funding Facility, those held by ACJB under the SMBC Funding Facility and those held by Ares Venture Finance, L.P. ("AVF LP") under the SBA-guaranteed debentures (the "SBA Debentures"), each as described below, and certain other investments.

The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding Facility are May 14, 2017 and May 14, 2019, respectively. The Revolving Funding Facility also includes a feature that allows, under certain circumstances, for an increase in the Revolving Funding Facility to a maximum of $865,000.

Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by Ares Capital CP. Ares Capital CP is also subject to limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, collateral interests, loans with fixed rates and loans with certain investment ratings, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and Ares Capital CP are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Company and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 2.25%. Prior to and including January 24, 2013, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Funding Facility was based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.50% or on a "base rate" plus an applicable spread of 1.50%. Since May 14, 2014, Ares Capital CP is required to pay a commitment fee between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility.

SBA Debentures

In April 2015, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, AVF LP, received a license from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to operate as a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies, including regulating the types of financings, restricting investments to only include small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries, and requiring capitalization thresholds that may limit distributions to the Company.

The license from the SBA allows AVF LP to obtain leverage by issuing the SBA Debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. Leverage through the SBA Debentures is subject to required capitalization thresholds. Current SBA regulations limit the amount that any SBIC may borrow to $150,000 and as of December 31, 2015, the amount of the SBA Debentures committed to AVF LP by the SBA was $75,000. The SBA Debentures are non-recourse to the Company, have interest payable semi-annually, have a 10-year maturity and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of December 31, 2015, AVF LP had $22,000 of the SBA Debentures issued and outstanding, which mature between September 2025 and March 2026. AVF LP is subject to an annual periodic examination by an SBA examiner to determine AVF LP's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) by an independent auditor. As of December 31, 2015, AVF LP was materially in compliance with SBA regulatory requirements.

The interest rate for the SBA Debentures is fixed at the time the SBA Debentures and other applicable SBA-guaranteed debentures can be pooled and sold to the public and is based on a spread over U.S. treasury notes with 10-year maturities. The pooling of newly issued SBA-guaranteed debentures occurs twice per year. The spread includes an annual charge as determined by the SBA (the "Annual Charge") as well as a market-driven component. Prior to the 10-year fixed interest rate being determined, the interim interest rate charged for the SBA-guarantee debentures is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 0.30% and the Annual Charge. Prior to September 23, 2015, the interim interest rate in effect for the SBA Debentures outstanding was 1.34%. As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average interest rate in effect for the SBA Debentures was 3.19%.

The 2040 Notes were redeemed at par plus accrued and unpaid interest for a total redemption price of approximately $200,560, which resulted in a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $6,572.

2047 Notes

As part of the acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation ("Allied Capital") in April 2010 (the "Allied Acquisition"), the Company assumed $230,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due on April 15, 2047 (the "2047 Notes" and together with the 2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes and the October 2022 Notes, the "Unsecured Notes"). The 2047 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875%, payable quarterly and all principal is due upon maturity. The 2047 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company's option, at a par redemption price of $25.00 per security plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding principal was $229,557 and $229,557 respectively, and the carrying value was $181,604 and $181,330, respectively. The carrying value represents the outstanding principal amount of the 2047 Notes less the unaccreted purchased discount recorded as a part of the Allied Acquisition.

These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions set forth in the indentures governing such notes. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the respective indentures governing each of the Unsecured Notes.

F-82

The Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes are the Company's unsecured senior obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company's subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies. Net unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are included in "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in "net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the SDLP to sell certain of the Company's investments to the SDLP at a mutually agreed upon price on a future date. The value of the agreement with the SDLP will change as the fair value of the identified loans changes. As of December 31, 2015, the unrealized gain related to this agreement was included in the "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and in "other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Forward currency contracts and the forward sale agreement are considered undesignated derivative instruments.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various commitments to fund investments in its portfolio as described below.

F-83

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) the Company's discretion:

|  | As of December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
Total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 418,880 |  | $ | 574,772 |
Less: drawn commitments |  |  | (122,925 | ) |  | (111,802 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total undrawn commitments |  |  | 295,955 |  |  | 462,970 |
Less: commitments substantially at discretion of the Company |  |  | (6,000 | ) |  | (6,000 | )
Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions |  |  | — |  |  | (2,700 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total net adjusted undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 289,955 |  | $ | 454,270 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were delayed draw loan commitments totaling $148,609 and $206,429, respectively. The Company's commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions. Generally, the most significant and uncertain term requires the borrower to satisfy a specific use of proceeds covenant. The use of proceeds covenant typically requires the borrower to use the additional loans for the specific purpose of a permitted acquisition or permitted investment, for example. In addition to the use of proceeds covenant, the borrower is generally required to satisfy additional negotiated covenants (including specified leverage levels).

Also included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of December 31, 2015 were commitments to issue up to $42,212 in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $13,840 in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of these letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on the Company's balance sheet as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company. Of these letters of credit, $12,818 expire in 2016 and $1,022 expire in 2017.

The Company also has commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for the Company's portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain portfolio companies of the SSLP. See Note 4 for more information.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company was party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may sell certain of its investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales) the Company has, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

Lease Commitments

The Company is obligated under a number of operating leases and subleases for office spaces with terms ranging from less than one year to more than 15 years. Total rent expense incurred by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $4,171, $3,366 and $3,687, respectively.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows ASC 825-10, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair

F-85

value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled "other assets" and "debt," which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the lines titled "interest receivable," "receivable for open trades," "payable for open trades," "accounts payable and other liabilities," "base management fees payable," "income based fees payable," "capital gains incentive fees payable" and "interest and facility fees payable" approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

The Company also follows ASC 820-10, which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•
  Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
•
  Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•
  Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by the Company's board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company's valuation policy, it evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. The Company's valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Company's portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

The Company's portfolio investments (other than as described below in the following paragraph) are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value ("EV") of the portfolio company. Enterprise value means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company's EBITDA (generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Company may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues or, in the case of certain portfolio companies in the power generation industry, kilowatt capacity. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average

F-86

cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments, the value of debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company has control or could gain control through an option or warrant security, and to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other methods such as a liquidation or wind-down analysis may be utilized to estimate enterprise value. The second valuation technique is a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

For other portfolio investments such as investments in collateralized loan obligations and the SSLP Certificates, discounted cash flow analysis is the primary technique utilized to determine fair value. Expected future cash flows associated with the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate that reflects estimated market return requirements.

The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company's determination of fair values.

Changes in market yields, discount rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of the Company's investments. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or decrease in EBITDA multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company's investments.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

  The shares were sold to the underwriters for a price equal to the offering price per share, which the underwriters were then permitted to sell at variable prices to the public.

The Company used the net proceeds from the above public equity offerings to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, which included funding investments in accordance with its investment objective. See Note 12 for information regarding shares of common stock issued in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan.

Stock Repurchase Program

In September 2015, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below its net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its

F-92

discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company expects that the program will be in effect until September 30, 2016, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and it cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 122 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market for $1,685. The shares were repurchased at an average price of $13.86 per share, including commissions paid.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following information sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

|  | For the Years Ended December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
Net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations available to common stockholders |  | $ | 378,670 |  | $ | 590,949 |  | $ | 488,521 |
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic and diluted |  |  | 314,375 |  |  | 305,287 |  |  | 266,939 |
Basic and diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share |  | $ | 1.20 |  | $ | 1.94 |  | $ | 1.83 |

For the purpose of calculating diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share, the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the year ended December 31, 2015 was less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the average closing price of the Company's common stock for such period was less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the date of issuance of the 2019 Convertible Notes through December 31, 2013, the average closing price of the Company's common stock for such period was each less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Therefore, for all periods presented in the financial statements, the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes have no impact on the computation of diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share.

11. INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES

For income tax purposes, dividends paid and distributions made to the Company's stockholders are reported by the Company to the stockholders as ordinary income, capital gains, or a combination

F-93

thereof. Dividends paid per common share for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were taxable as follows (unaudited):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

(1)
  For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, ordinary income included dividend income of approximately $0.0730, $0.1055 and $0.1082, per share, respectively, that qualified to be taxed at the maximum capital gains rate. For certain eligible corporate shareholders, these dividends were eligible for the dividends received deduction.
(2)
  For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, dividends paid were comprised of interest-sourced dividends in amounts equal to 91.1%, 90.1% and 88.2% of total dividends paid, respectively.

The following reconciles net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations to taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

  The calculation of estimated 2015 taxable income includes a number of estimated inputs, including information received from third parties and, as a result, actual 2015 taxable income will not be finally determined until the Company's 2015 tax return is filed in 2016 (and, therefore, such estimate is subject to change).

Taxable income generally differs from net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized gains or losses, as unrealized gains or losses are generally not included in taxable income until they are realized. In addition, on April 1, 2010, the Company acquired Allied Capital in a tax-free merger, which has caused certain merger-related items to vary in their deductibility for GAAP and tax purposes.

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2015, the Company estimates that it will have a capital loss carryforward of approximately $77 million available for use in

F-94

later tax years. Because of the loss limitation rules of the Code, some of the tax basis capital losses may be limited in their use. The unused balance will be carried forward and utilized as gains are realized, subject to such limitations. In addition to the capital loss carryforwards, the Company realized tax basis net losses totaling approximately $0.3 billion from the Allied Capital portfolio since the Allied Acquisition through December 31, 2015, that have not yet been deducted for tax purposes as their deductibility in years since the Allied Acquisition was limited by the Code. While the Company's ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, substantially all of the Company's capital loss carryforwards and the net realized losses from the Allied Capital portfolio may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code.

For 2015, the Company had estimated taxable income in excess of the distributions made from such taxable income during the year, and therefore, the Company has elected to carry forward the excess for distribution to shareholders in 2016. The amount carried forward to 2016 is estimated to be approximately $257 million, although this amount will not be finalized until the 2015 tax returns are filed in 2016. For 2014 and 2013, the Company had taxable income in excess of the distributions made from such taxable income during the year, and therefore, the Company elected to carry forward the excess for distribution to shareholders in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amount carried forward to 2015 and 2014 was approximately $171 million and $232 million, respectively. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, the Company accrues excise tax on estimated excess taxable income. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, a net expense of $8,961, $5,486 and $10,277, respectively, was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

As of December 31, 2015, the estimated cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $10.0 billion resulting in estimated gross unrealized gains and losses of $0.05 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $9.6 billion resulting in estimated gross unrealized gains and losses of $0.3 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the cost of investments for tax purposes was greater than the amortized cost of investments for book purposes of $9.1 billion and $8.9 billion, respectively, primarily as a result of the Allied Acquisition. The Allied Acquisition qualified as a tax free merger, which resulted in the acquired assets retaining Allied Capital's cost basis at the merger date.

In general, the Company may make certain adjustments to the classification of stockholders' equity as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which may include merger-related items, differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, and nondeductible federal taxes, among other items. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company decreased accumulated overdistributed net investment income by $17,752, increased accumulated net realized loss on investments by $3,465 and decreased capital in excess of par value by $14,287. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company decreased accumulated overdistributed net investment income by $18,329, increased accumulated net realized loss on investments, foreign currency transactions, extinguishment of debt and other assets by $95,411 and increased capital in excess of par value by $77,082. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company decreased accumulated overdistributed net investment income by $14,106, increased accumulated net realized loss on investments, foreign currency transactions, extinguishment of debt and other assets by $26,151 and increased capital in excess of par value by $12,045.

Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a tax expense of approximately $8,791, $12,843 and $3,828, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

16. LITIGATION

The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, Allied Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that the Company assumed in connection with the

F-99

Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as one of several defendants in an action (the "Action") filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Court") by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC and two related companies. On March 17, 2014, the Action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Court") pursuant to a motion filed by the defendants and granted by the Pennsylvania Court. On May 6, 2014, the Delaware Court referred the Action to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint in the Action alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported "fraudulent transfer" involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal Holdings LLC. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425 million, of which the complaint states the Company's individual share is approximately $117 million, and (2) punitive damages. The Company is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether it may have any exposure in the Action. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the Action.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company's management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-K or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as disclosed below.

In February 2016, the Company repaid in full the $575.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the February 2016 Convertible Notes upon their maturity. The Company used amounts available under its revolving credit facilities to repay the outstanding indebtedness of the February 2016 Convertible Notes.

  Together with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, "GE"), the Company has co-invested through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (d/b/a the "Senior Secured Loan Program" or the "SSLP"). The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

  Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.
(10)
  Exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.

  In the first quarter of 2011, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") informally communicated to certain business development companies ("BDCs") the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under Investment Company Act) (i.e. not eligible to included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying

F-132

assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the "Concept Release") which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company". The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company's position. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act (using the Staff's methodology described above solely for this purpose), 25% of the Company's total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered "non-qualifying assets" as of March 31, 2016.

The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SSLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SSLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SSLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

  Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.

  Exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.

  In the first quarter of 2011, the Staff informally communicated to certain BDCs the Staff's belief that certain entities, which would be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act but for the exception from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, could not be treated as eligible portfolio companies (as defined in Section 2(a)(46) under Investment Company Act) (i.e. not eligible to included in a BDC's 70% "qualifying assets" basket). Subsequently, in August 2011 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a concept release (the "Concept Release") which stated that "[a]s a general matter, the Commission presently does not believe that

F-164

Rule 3a-7 issuers are the type of small, developing and financially troubled businesses in which the U.S. Congress intended BDCs primarily to invest" and requested comment on whether or not a 3a-7 issuer should be considered an "eligible portfolio company". The Company provided a comment letter in respect of the Concept Release and continues to believe that the language of Section 2(a)(46) of the Investment Company Act permits a BDC to treat as "eligible portfolio companies" entities that rely on the 3a-7 exception. However, given the current uncertainty in this area (including the language in the Concept Release) and subsequent discussions with the Staff, the Company has, solely for purposes of calculating the composition of its portfolio pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, identified such entities, which include the SSLP, as "non-qualifying assets" should the Staff ultimately disagree with the Company's position. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act (using the Staff's methodology described above solely for this purpose), 25% of the Company's total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered "non-qualifying assets" as of December 31, 2015.

ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of March 31, 2016

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated;
for example, with the words "million,""billion" or otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION

Ares Capital Corporation (the "Company" or "ARCC") is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Investment Company Act"). The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, the Company also makes equity investments.

The Company is externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC ("Ares Capital Management" or the Company's "investment adviser"), a subsidiary of Ares Management, L.P. ("Ares Management" or "Ares"), a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations LLC ("Ares Operations" or the Company's "administrator"), a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period's results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

F-170

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of the Company's investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Company's investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Company's board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a minimum of 55% of the Company's portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, the Company's investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

As part of the valuation process, the Company may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of the Company's investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets, which may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready

F-171

market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

The Company's board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•
  The Company's quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company's portfolio management team.
•
  Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the Company's investment adviser's management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the Company's board of directors.
•
  The audit committee of the Company's board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms, who review a minimum of 55% of the Company's portfolio at fair value.
•
  The Company's board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in the Company's portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Company's investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

See Note 8 for more information on the Company's valuation process.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

F-172

Payment-in-Kind Interest

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind ("PIK") provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Company's status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income

The Company's investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to its portfolio companies and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of the Company's underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Company's investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan.

Other income includes fees for management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)
  Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
(2)
  Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Derivative Instruments

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such values its derivatives at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

F-173

Equity Offering Expenses

The Company's offering costs, excluding underwriters' fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method or the effective yield method, depending on the type of debt instrument.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

Dividends to Common Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Company's board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company's board of directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, then the Company's stockholders who have not "opted out" of the Company's dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company intends to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as the Company is trading at a premium to net asset value). If the Company's shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with the Company's obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan. However, the Company reserves the right to issue new shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the Company's obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if the Company's shares are trading below net asset value.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and

F-174

liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new guidance modifies the consolidation analysis for limited partnerships and similar type entities as well as variable interests in a variable interest entity, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. Additionally, it provides a scope exception to the consolidation guidance for certain entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 as of March 31, 2016 and there was no material impact of adopting this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance modifies the requirements for reporting debt issuance costs. Under the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will no longer be recorded as a separate asset, but will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU No. 2015-03. In addition, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). The additional guidance reiterates that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings. ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 are required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 as of March 31, 2016. Prior to ASU No. 2015-03, deferred debt issuance costs related to term debt were reported on the balance sheet as other assets and amortized as interest expense. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been adjusted to apply the change in accounting principle retrospectively. There is no effect on the statement of operations as a result of the change in accounting principle. Debt issuance costs related to term debt of $24.5 million previously reported within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 had no impact on the presentation or amortization of the debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving credit facilities.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The new guidance removed the requirement that investments for which net asset value is determined based on practical expedient reliance be reported utilizing the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2015-07 is required to be applied retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-07 as of March 31, 2016, and thereby removed any investments valued in this manner from the fair value disclosures. See Note 8 for more information regarding the impact on the fair value disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods

F-175

beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations", which clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 and has the same effective date as the original standard. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, "Leases." Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

3. AGREEMENTS

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the "investment advisory and management agreement") with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company's board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory and management services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives fees from the Company consisting of a base management fee, a fee based on the Company's net investment income ("income based fee") and a fee based on the Company's net capital gains ("capital gains incentive fee"). The investment advisory and management agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Company's total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

The income based fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company's net investment income excluding income based fees and capital gains incentive fees ("pre-incentive fee net investment income") for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the income based fee and capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Company's investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the income based fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually received.

F-176

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation, unrealized capital depreciation or income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. Because of the structure of the income based fee, it is possible that the Company may pay such fees in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable income based fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed "hurdle rate" of 1.75% per quarter. If market credit spreads rise, the Company may be able to invest its funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which may increase the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Company's investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an income based fee based on such net investment income. To the extent the Company has retained pre-incentive fee net investment income that has been used to calculate the income based fee, it is also included in the amount of the Company's total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

The Company pays its investment adviser an income based fee with respect to the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

•
  no income based fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
•
  100% of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the "catch-up" provision. The "catch-up" is meant to provide the Company's investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and
•
  20% of the amount of the Company's pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of the Company's cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) the Company's cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004 (the date the Company completed its initial public offering). Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments and foreign currencies, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other assets, as well as any income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains incentive fee for such year.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company's portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

F-177

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company's portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company's portfolio as of the applicable capital gains incentive fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of an amendment to the capital gains incentive fee under the investment advisory and management agreement that was adopted on June 6, 2011, if the Company is required by GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment by the Company (including, for example, as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee , the "accreted or amortized cost basis" of an investment shall be an amount (the "Contractual Cost Basis") equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by the Company for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in the Company's financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in the Company's financial statements, including PIK interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in the Company's financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

The Company defers cash payment of any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees otherwise earned by the Company's investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to the Company's stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 7.0% of the Company's net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. Any deferred income based fees and capital gains incentive fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the investment advisory and management agreement.

There was no capital gains incentive fee earned by the Company's investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement (as described above) for the three months ended March 31, 2016. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $46,027 as of March 31, 2016, of which $46,027 is not currently due under the investment advisory and management agreement. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has paid capital gains incentive fees since inception totaling $57,404. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then

F-178

there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, base management fees were $34,759, income based fees were $29,122 and the capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were $3,762. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, base management fees were $33,916, income based fees were $29,365 and the reduction in capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $4,220.

Administration Agreement

  Includes the Company's investment in the SSLP, which represented 20.8% and 20.8% of the total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, 1.3% of total investments at amortized cost (or 0.6% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2015, 2.6% of total investments at amortized cost (or 1.7% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status.

Senior Direct Lending Program

In December 2015, the Company established a joint venture with Varagon Capital Partners ("Varagon") to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and other partners. The joint venture is called the Senior Direct Lending Program (the "SDLP"). It is expected that the SDLP will commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. The Company may co-invest directly with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. The Company will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SDLP Certificates"), and Varagon will provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. It is expected that the Company and Varagon will own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of any outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company and Varagon had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $2.9 billion in the aggregate, of which no amounts were funded. The SDLP will be capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of the Company and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required). As of March 31, 2016, the Company had agreed to make available to the SDLP (subject to the approval of the investment committee of the SDLP as described above) approximately $591 million, of which no amounts were committed or funded. The SDLP Certificates will pay a coupon of LIBOR plus a stated spread and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

See Note 6 for more information regarding a forward sale agreement between the Company and the SDLP.

Senior Secured Loan Program

The Company has co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies with GE through the SSLP. The SSLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). The Company has provided capital to the SSLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the "SSLP Certificates").

In August 2015, GE completed the sale of its U.S. Sponsor Finance business, through which GE had participated with the Company in the SSLP, to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"). This sale excluded GE's interest in the SSLP, and GE and the Company continue to operate the SSLP. The Company and GE no longer have an obligation to present senior secured lending investment opportunities to the SSLP and since June 30, 2015, the SSLP has not made any investments related to new portfolio companies; however, the Company and GE may provide capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments (see below) and other amounts to its portfolio companies. On August 24, 2015, the Company was advised that GECC, as the holder of the senior notes of the SSLP (the "Senior Notes"), directed State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the SSLP Certificates, to apply all principal proceeds received by the SSLP from its investments to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes until paid in full (prior to the distribution of any such principal proceeds to the holders of the SSLP Certificates, which includes the Company). GECC had previously elected to waive its right to receive priority repayments on the Senior Notes from principal proceeds in most circumstances. Prior to closing the sale to CPPIB, GE had announced its intention to provide the Company and CPPIB the opportunity to work together on the SSLP on a go-forward basis. GECC has also stated that if a mutual agreement between the Company and CPPIB to partner on the SSLP is not reached, it intends to retain its interest in the SSLP and the SSLP would be wound down in an orderly manner. The Company has been in dialogue with GE and CPPIB to determine if there is an opportunity to work together; however, to date there has been no agreement in respect of the SSLP as a result of these discussions and there can be no assurance that such discussions will continue or any such agreement will be reached. In addition to discussions with CPPIB and GECC, the Company is also exploring other options with respect to the SSLP's portfolio, although there can be no assurance that the Company will pursue any of them.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, GE and the Company had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $7.6 billion and $8.5 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. As discussed above, the Company anticipates that no new investments will be made by the SSLP and that the Company and GE will only provide additional capital to support the SSLP's funding of existing commitments and other amounts to its portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the SSLP had commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain of its portfolio companies of $145.4 million and $198.6 million, respectively, which had been approved by the investment committee of the SSLP as described above.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding amounts funded of approximately $2.0 billion and $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount, respectively, to the SSLP. Additionally, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for its portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to portfolio companies of up to $23.6 million and $32.6 million, respectively. As discussed above, it is not anticipated that the Company will make new investments through the SSLP.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the SSLP had total assets of $7.6 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, GE's investment in the SSLP consisted of the Senior Notes of $5.3 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, and SSLP Certificates of $286.3 million and $285.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company and GE owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SSLP Certificates.

F-182

The SSLP Certificates pay a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus approximately 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, which may result in a return to the holders of the SSLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SSLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the Senior Notes held by GE. The Company expects that for so long as principal proceeds from SSLP repayments are directed entirely to repay the Senior Notes as discussed above, the yield on the SSLP Certificates will decline.

The SSLP's portfolio consisted of first lien senior secured loans to 38 and 41 different borrowers as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured loans to U.S. middle-market companies. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of these loans were on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the largest loan to a single borrower in the SSLP's portfolio in aggregate principal amount was $342.5 million and $345.9 million, respectively, and the five largest loans to borrowers in the SSLP totaled $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. The portfolio companies in the SSLP are in industries similar to the companies in the Company's portfolio.

The amortized cost and fair value of the SSLP Certificates held by the Company were $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2016, and $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The Company's yield on its investment in the SSLP at fair value was 12.1% and 12.3% as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company earned interest income of $58.8 million and $68.3 million, respectively, from its investment in the SSLP Certificates. The Company is also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SSLP. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, in connection with the SSLP, the Company earned capital structuring service, sourcing and other fees totaling $5.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which as of March 31, 2016 allowed the Company to borrow up to $1,290,000 at any one time outstanding. As of March 31, 2016, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility were May 4, 2019 and May 4, 2020, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allowed the Company as of March 31, 2016, under certain circumstances, to increase in the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $1,935,000. The Revolving Credit Facility generally requires payments of interest at the end of each

F-185

LIBOR interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on LIBOR based loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. From the end of the revolving period to the stated maturity date, the Company is required to repay outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of the outstanding principal amount at the end of the revolving period. See Note 15 for a subsequent event relating to the Revolving Credit Facility.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders' equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) of not less than 2.0:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company's portfolio that are pledged as collateral. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $1,170,000 and $515,000 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2016, the Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of $150,000. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $24,273 and $24,111, respectively, in letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any letters of credit issued. As of March 31, 2016, there was $95,727 available for borrowing (net of letters of credit issued) under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Since March 26, 2015, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over an "alternate base rate" (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%. From May 2, 2013 to March 25, 2015, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on an applicable spread of 2.00% over LIBOR or an applicable spread of 1.00% over an "alternate base rate." As of March 31, 2016, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.44%, 0.52%, 0.63% and 0.90%, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.43%, 0.51%, 0.61% and 0.85%, respectively. In addition to the stated interest expense on the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Since March 26, 2015, the Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.25% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to and including March 25, 2015, the Company paid a letter of credit fee of 2.25% per annum on letters of credit issued.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in the Company's portfolio and excludes investments held by Ares Capital CP under the Revolving Funding Facility, those held by ACJB under

F-186

the SMBC Funding Facility and those held by AVF LP under the SBA Debentures, each as described below, and certain other investments.

Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by Ares Capital CP. Ares Capital CP is also subject to limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on sector concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, collateral interests, loans with fixed rates and loans with certain investment ratings, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and Ares Capital CP are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility. As of March 31, 2016, the Company and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was $118,000 and $250,000 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Funding Facility.

As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 2.25%. Ares Capital CP is required to pay a commitment fee between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility.

SBA Debentures

In April 2015, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Ares Venture Finance, L.P. ("AVF LP"), received a license from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to operate as a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies, including regulating the types of financings, restricting investments to only include small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries, and requiring capitalization thresholds that may limit distributions to the Company.

The license from the SBA allows AVF LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures (the "SBA Debentures"), subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. Leverage through the SBA Debentures is subject to required capitalization thresholds. Current SBA regulations limit the amount that any SBIC may borrow to $150,000 and as of March 31, 2016, the amount of the SBA Debentures committed to AVF LP by the SBA was $75,000. The SBA Debentures are non-recourse to the Company, have interest payable semi-annually, have a 10-year maturity and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP had $25,000 of the SBA Debentures issued and outstanding, which mature between September 2025 and March 2026. AVF LP is subject to an annual periodic examination by an SBA examiner to determine AVF LP's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) by an independent auditor. As of March 31, 2016, AVF LP was in compliance in all material respects with SBA regulatory requirements.

The interest rate for the SBA Debentures is fixed at the time the SBA Debentures and other applicable SBA-guaranteed debentures can be pooled and sold to the public and is based on a spread over U.S. treasury notes with 10-year maturities. The pooling of newly issued SBA-guaranteed debentures occurs twice per year. The spread includes an annual charge as determined by the SBA (the "Annual Charge") as well as a market-driven component. Prior to the 10-year fixed interest rate being determined, the interim interest rate charged for the SBA-guarantee debentures is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 0.30% and the Annual Charge. As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate in effect for the SBA Debentures was 3.48%.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding their respective conversion date (listed below), holders may convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes only under certain circumstances set forth in the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. On or after their respective conversion dates until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding their respective maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes at any time. In addition, if the Company engages in certain corporate events as described in their respective Convertible Unsecured Notes Indenture, holders of the Convertible Unsecured Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of the Convertible Unsecured Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Unsecured Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the required repurchase date.

As of March 31, 2016, the principal amounts of each series of the Convertible Unsecured Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company's common stock.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures contain certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act and to provide financial information to the holders of the Convertible Unsecured Notes under certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20. To the extent the June 2016 Convertible Unsecured Notes are converted, the Company has selected to settle with a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. Upon conversion of any of the other Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company intends to pay the outstanding principal amount in cash and to the extent that the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company has the option to pay in cash or shares of the Company's common stock (or a combination of cash and shares) in respect of the excess amount, subject to the requirements of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP. In accounting for the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company estimated at the time of issuance separate debt and equity components for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes. An original issue discount equal to the equity components of the Convertible Unsecured Notes was recorded in "capital in excess of par value" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the issuance costs associated with the Convertible Unsecured Notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively.

The Unsecured Notes contain certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act and to provide financial information to the holders of such notes under certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions set forth in the indentures governing such notes. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the respective indentures governing each of the Unsecured Notes.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes are the Company's unsecured senior obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company's subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies. Net unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are included in "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in "net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the SDLP to sell certain of the Company's investments to the SDLP at a mutually agreed upon price on a future date. The value of the agreement with the SDLP will change as the fair value of the identified loans changes and as additional loans are added to such agreement. As of March 31, 2016, the unrealized gain related to this agreement was included in the "net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and in "other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Forward currency contracts and the forward sale agreement are considered undesignated derivative instruments.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various commitments to fund investments in its portfolio as described below. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) the Company's discretion:

|  | As of |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |
Total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 355,375 |  | $ | 418,880 |
Less: drawn commitments |  |  | (70,817 | ) |  | (122,925 | )
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total undrawn commitments |  |  | 284,558 |  |  | 295,955 |
Less: commitments substantially at discretion of the Company |  |  | (6,833 | ) |  | (6,000 | )
Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions |  |  | — |  |  | — |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total net adjusted undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments |  | $ | 277,725 |  | $ | 289,955 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were delayed draw loan commitments totaling $137,468 and $148,609, respectively. The Company's commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions. Generally, the most significant and uncertain term requires the borrower to satisfy a specific use of proceeds covenant. The use of proceeds covenant typically requires the borrower to use the additional loans for the specific purpose of a permitted acquisition or permitted investment, for example. In addition to the use of proceeds covenant, the borrower is generally required to satisfy additional negotiated covenants (including specified leverage levels).

F-195

Also included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of March 31, 2016 were commitments to issue up to $45,212 in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $13,753 in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of these letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on the Company's balance sheet as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company. Of these letters of credit, $12,731 expire in 2016 and $1,022 expire in 2017.

The Company also has commitments to co-invest in the SSLP for the Company's portion of the SSLP's commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain portfolio companies of the SSLP. See Note 4 for more information.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:

|  | As of |

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may sell certain of its investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales) the Company has, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows ASC 825-10, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled "other assets" and "debt," which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the lines titled "interest receivable," "receivable for open trades," "payable for open trades," "accounts payable and other liabilities," "base management fees payable," "income based fees payable," "capital gains incentive fees payable" and "interest and facility fees payable" approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

The Company also follows ASC 820-10, which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with

F-196

GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•
  Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
•
  Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•
  Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by the Company's board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company's valuation policy, it evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. The Company's valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Company's portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

The Company's portfolio investments (other than as described below in the following paragraph) are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value ("EV") of the portfolio company. Enterprise value means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company's EBITDA (generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Company may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues or, in the case of certain portfolio companies in the power generation industry, kilowatt capacity. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments, the value of debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company has control or could gain control through an option or warrant security, and to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other methods such as a liquidation or wind-down analysis may be utilized to estimate enterprise value. The second valuation technique is a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for

F-197

a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

For other portfolio investments such as investments in collateralized loan obligations and the SSLP Certificates, discounted cash flow analysis is the primary technique utilized to determine fair value. Expected future cash flows associated with the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate that reflects estimated market return requirements.

The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company's determination of fair values.

Changes in market yields, discount rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of the Company's investments. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or decrease in EBITDA multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company's investments.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

There were no sales of the Company's equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. See Note 11 for information regarding shares of common stock issued in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan.

Stock Repurchase Program

In September 2015, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below its net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program will be in effect until September 30, 2016, unless extended or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and it cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. See Note 15 for a subsequent event relating to the stock repurchase program.

In connection with this stock repurchase program, in March 2016, the Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with certain parameters set forth in such plan. The Company expects that the Rule 10b5-1 plan will be in effect until May 6, 2016, or until the approved dollar amount in the Rule 10b5-1 plan has been used to repurchase shares.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased a total of 393 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market for $5,477 under the stock repurchase program. The shares were repurchased at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following information sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations available to common stockholders |  | $ | 131,541 |  | $ | 100,576 |
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic and diluted |  |  | 314,293 |  |  | 314,108 |
Basic and diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share |  | $ | 0.42 |  | $ | 0.32 |

For the purpose of calculating diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share, the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the average closing price of the Company's common stock was less than the conversion price for each the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as well as the February 2016 Convertible Notes. Therefore, for all periods presented in the financial statements, the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes and the February 2016 Convertible Notes have no impact on the computation of diluted net increase in stockholders' equity resulting from operations per share.

11. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

14. LITIGATION

The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, Allied Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that the Company assumed in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as one of several defendants in an action (the "Action") filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Court") by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC and two related companies. On March 17, 2014, the Action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Court") pursuant to a motion filed by the defendants and granted by the Pennsylvania Court. On May 6, 2014, the Delaware Court referred the Action to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint in the Action alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported "fraudulent transfer" involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal Holdings LLC. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425 million, of which the complaint states the Company's individual share is approximately $117 million, and (2) punitive damages. The Company is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether it may have any exposure in the Action. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the Action.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company's management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016, except as disclosed below.

American Capital Acquisition

On May 23, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Capital, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("American Capital"), in a cash and stock transaction, which we refer to as the "American Capital Acquisition." American Capital is an internally managed closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act.

While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed at all, the Company expects to complete the American Capital Acquisition as early as the fourth quarter of 2016. The completion of the American Capital Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, American Capital stockholder approval, Ares Capital stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, receipt of certain third party consents, and other customary

F-207

closing conditions. The Company cannot assure you that the American Capital Acquisition will be completed as scheduled, or at all.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the Company's investment adviser, dated May 23, 2016, pursuant to which its investment adviser will (i) provide $275 million of cash consideration payable to American Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing and (ii) waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the closing of the American Capital Acquisition, the lesser of (x) $10 million of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case to the extent earned and payable by the Company in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under its investment advisory and management agreement, in each case, subject to the consummation of the American Capital Acquisition.

Other Recent Developments

In April 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) that, among other things, (a) extended the expiration of the revolving period for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2019 to May 4, 2020, during which period we, subject to certain conditions, may make borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, (b) extended the stated maturity date for certain lenders electing to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $1.195 billion from May 4, 2020 to May 4, 2021, (c) permitted certain lenders electing not to extend their commitments in an amount equal to $70 million to remain subject to the existing revolving period and stated maturity in respect of their non-extending commitments, and (d) modified the debt and lien provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) expand the types of additional debt that may be secured by certain assets of the Company on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, and (ii) increase the amount of additional secured debt permitted to be incurred by the Company, subject to certain conditions. The size of the Revolving Credit Facility is $1.265 billion following the amendment and restatement thereof. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an "accordion" feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility by an amount up to $632.5 million.

In April 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized an extension of the Company's stock repurchase program through February 28, 2017. The Company's stock repurchase program was set to expire on September 30, 2016. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company was able to repurchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of the Company's outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that met certain thresholds below the net asset value per share of the Company's common stock, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases were determined by the Company, in the Company's discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased a total of 514,677 shares of its common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since its inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $92.8 million available for additional repurchases under the program. In May 2016, in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, the Company suspended its stock repurchase program pending the consummation of the Merger Agreement.

In June 2016, the Company repaid in full the $230 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the June 2016 Convertible Notes (as defined below) upon their maturity. The Company used amounts available under its revolving credit facilities to repay the June 2016 Convertible Notes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Capital, Ltd.

We have audited American Capital, Ltd.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). American Capital, Ltd.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, American Capital, Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of American Capital, Ltd., including the consolidated schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and our report dated February 16, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Capital, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Capital, Ltd., including the consolidated schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2015. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements, financial highlights, and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, financial highlights, and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by custodians and brokers as of December 31, 2015, and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Capital, Ltd. at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations, comprehensive income, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, and its consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), American Capital, Ltd.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) and our report dated February 16, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(1)
  Certain of the securities are issued by affiliate(s) of the listed portfolio company.
(2)
  Interest rates represent the weighted average annual stated interest rate on loans and debt securities in effect on the date presented, which are presented by the nature of indebtedness by a single issuer. Some loans and debt securities bear interest at variable rates, primarily the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), with interest rate floors. Payment-in-kind interest ("PIK") represents contractually deferred interest that is typically compounded into the principal balance of the loan or debt security, if not paid on a current basis. PIK interest may be prepaid by the portfolio company's election, but generally is paid upon a change of control transaction or maturity. The maturity date represents the latest date in which the loan or debt security is scheduled to terminate.
(3)
  Included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets.
(4)
  Some or all of the securities are non-income producing.
(5)
  Loan is on non-accrual status and therefore considered non-income producing.
(6)
  All or a portion of the investments or instruments are pledged as collateral under various secured financing arrangements.
(7)
  Investments that are not "qualifying assets" under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act.

AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, except per share data)

Note 1. Organization

American Capital, Ltd., (which is referred to throughout this report as "American Capital", "we", "our" and "us") was incorporated in 1986. On August 29, 1997, we completed an initial public offering and became a non-diversified closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). As a BDC, we primarily invest in senior and mezzanine debt and equity in buyouts of private companies sponsored by us ("American Capital One Stop Buyouts®") or sponsored by other private equity funds and provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies ("Sponsor Finance and Other Investments"). We also invest in first and second lien floating rate loans to large-market U.S. based companies ("Senior Floating Rate Loans") and structured finance investments ("Structured Products"), including collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") securities and commercial mortgages and commercial mortgage backed securities ("CMBS"). Our primary business objectives are to increase our net earnings and net asset value ("NAV") by making investments with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

Through our tax years ended September 30, 1998 through September 30, 2010, we qualified to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Effective with our tax year ended September 30, 2011, we did not qualify to be taxed as a RIC and became subject to taxation as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code (a "Subchapter C corporation"). This change in tax status does not affect our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act or our compliance with the portfolio composition requirements of that statute.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on prior periods' net earnings or shareholders' equity.

Consolidation

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Division of Investment Management's consolidation guidance in IM Guidance Update No. 2014-11 issued in October 2014 and Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies ("ASC 946"), we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company that acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. An exception to this guidance occurs if we have an investment in a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to us.

F-245

We have determined that as of December 31, 2015 or for the periods presented in our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, European Capital Limited ("European Capital") and American Capital Asset Management, LLC ("ACAM"), have met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to attach separate financial statements as exhibits to our Form 10-K. As such, separate financial statements for European Capital and ACAM are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

We currently consolidate ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC, which are wholly-owned special purpose financing vehicles that were formed for the purpose of purchasing Senior Floating Rate Loans under a $1.25 billion secured revolving credit facility and $500 million secured revolving credit facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC did not have any other operations or activities. We also consolidate American Capital TRS, LLC ("ACTRS"), which is a wholly-owned entity that has entered into non-recourse total return swaps ("TRS") with Citibank, N.A. As of December 31, 2015, ACTRS did not have any other operations or activities. The TRS is accounted for as a derivative pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of European Capital, which is a wholly-owned investment company that, effective October 1, 2014, acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. In addition, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AC Corporate Holdings, Inc. ("ACCH") and ACE Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ACE Acquisition"), which are wholly-owned entities that have purchased numerous investment securities on behalf of American Capital. As of December 31, 2015, European Capital, ACCH and ACE Acquisition did not have any other operations or activities and were considered to be investment companies under ASC 946, as amended by Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements.

Trade Date Accounting

In accordance with ASC 946, we account for security purchases and sales on a trade date basis other than when it is not in accordance with standard industry practice to account for the purchase or sale transaction on a trade date basis and the transaction is outside conventional channels, such as through a private placement or by submitting shares in a tender offer. In such circumstances, we record the transaction on the date we obtain a right to demand the securities purchased or collect the proceeds of sale and incur an obligation to pay the price of the securities purchased or to deliver the securities sold, respectively.

Investment Valuation Policy

Our investments consist of loans and securities issued by public and privately-held companies, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities. We also invest in Structured Products, which includes CLO securities and CMBS.

We fair value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter to determine the fair value of our investments in accordance with ASC 820. The quarterly valuation process begins with the development of a preliminary valuation recommendation for each investment by our Financial Advisory and Consulting Team ("FACT"), which is composed of valuation and audit professionals responsible for monitoring portfolio compliance and valuations. In preparing the preliminary valuation recommendations, FACT receives assistance from our investment professionals that both originated and

monitor the investment as well as assistance from other departments including operations, accounting and legal. The preliminary valuation recommendations are reviewed by senior management and then presented to our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee for review and approval. Subsequent to the approval from our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee, the valuation recommendations are sent to our Board of Directors for final approval.

When available, we base the fair value of our investments that trade in active markets on directly observable market prices or on market data derived for comparable assets. For restricted securities of companies that are publicly traded, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date less a discount for the restriction. For all other investments, inputs used to measure fair value reflect management's best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction. For these investments, we estimate the fair value of our senior debt, mezzanine debt, redeemable and convertible preferred equity, common equity and equity warrants using either an enterprise value waterfall methodology, which generally combines market and income approaches, or a market yield valuation methodology, which utilizes the income approach. We estimate the fair value of our Structured Products using the market and income approaches, third-party broker quotes and counterparty marks.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

ASC 820 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market for an asset is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

The principal market in which we would sell our Senior Floating Rate Loans and certain of our non-controlled Sponsor Finance debt investments is an active over-the-counter secondary market. For our other debt and equity investments, there is no active market and we are generally repaid our debt investment or sell our equity investment upon a change of control transaction such as through the mergers and acquisition ("M&A") market. Accordingly, the market in which we would sell certain of our non-controlled debt and all of our equity investments is the M&A market. However, under ASC 820, we have identified the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in these portfolio companies only if we have the ability to control the decision to sell the portfolio company as of the measurement date. We determine whether we have the ability to control the decision to sell a portfolio company based on our ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date and rights within the shareholders agreement. In evaluating if we can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, we include our equity securities and those securities held by entities managed by our wholly-owned portfolio company, ACAM on a fully diluted basis. For investments in portfolio companies for which

F-247

we do not have the ability to control or gain control as of the measurement date and for which there is no active market, the principal market under ASC 820 is a hypothetical secondary market.

Accordingly, we use the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in portfolio companies that we control or can gain control as of the measurement date, and we use a hypothetical secondary market for our investments in portfolio companies that we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date. However, to the extent that an active market exists for such investments, we will consider that as the principal market. Our valuation policy considers the fact that no ready active market exists for a significant amount of our investments and that the fair value for our investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

Enterprise Value Waterfall Methodology

For investments in portfolio companies that we have identified the M&A market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the enterprise value waterfall ("Enterprise Value Waterfall") valuation methodology. For minority equity securities in which the principal market is the hypothetical secondary market, we also estimate the fair value using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology.

Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company's securities in order of their preference relative to one another. In applying the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we consider that in a change of control transaction, our loans are generally required to be repaid at par and that a buyer cannot assume the loan.

To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we prepare an analysis of traditional valuation methodologies including valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets, third-party valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third-parties to buy the portfolio company and considering the value of recent third-party investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. Significant inputs in these valuation methodologies to estimate enterprise value include the historical or projected operating results of the portfolio company, selection of comparable companies, discounts or premiums to the prices of comparable companies and discount rates applied to the forecasted cash flows. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for non-recurring items or to normalize the operating results that may require significant judgment in its determination. In addition, projecting future financial results requires significant judgment regarding future growth assumptions. In evaluating the operating results, we also analyze the impact of exposure to litigation, loss of customers or other contingencies. The selection of a population of comparable companies requires significant judgment, including a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. In determining a discount or premium, if any, to prices of comparable companies, we use significant judgment for factors such as size, marketability, relative performance, and for portfolio companies in which we control, a control premium to the market price of comparable public companies. In determining a discount rate to apply to forecasted cash flows, we use significant judgment in the development of an appropriate discount rate including the evaluation of an appropriate risk premium.

In valuing convertible debt, equity or other similar securities, we value our investment based on its priority in the waterfall and based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt from the estimated enterprise value. We value non-convertible debt at the face amount of the debt to the extent that the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company exceeds the outstanding debt of the portfolio company. If the estimated enterprise value is less than the outstanding debt of the portfolio company, we reduce the fair value of our debt investment beginning

F-248

with the junior most debt such that the enterprise value less the fair value of the outstanding debt is zero.

Market Yield Valuation Methodology

For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments in portfolio companies for which we are required to identify a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the assumptions that we believe hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield ("Market Yield") valuation methodology.

For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments of our investment portfolio for which we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date and no active market exists, we estimate the fair value based on such factors as third-party broker quotes and our own assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. We estimate the remaining life based on market data of the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information available to us that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date, including considering the current maturity date of the loan. The average life used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since our loans have historically been prepaid prior to the maturity date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on the current interest rate spreads on similar loans. We use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

We fair value our investments in Structured Products based on such factors as third-party broker quotes, counterparty marks, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and our cash flow forecasts. Cash flow forecasts are subject to assumptions a market participant would use regarding the investments' underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participant's market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structure and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes or counterparty marks, if any, in determining fair value based on the correlation of changes in third-party broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices.

Third-party Vendor Pricing

For debt investments that trade in an active market or that have similar assets that trade in an active market, we estimate the fair value based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized, independent pricing service or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt instruments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the price provided by the third-party pricing service and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including a review and analysis of executable broker quote(s), range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, yields of similar securities or other qualitative and quantitative information. If the prices provided by the pricing service are consistent with such information, we will generally use the price provided by the pricing service as fair value.

F-249

Investments in Investment Funds

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of our investment predominately based on the NAV per share of the investment fund if the NAV of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946 as of the measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with ASC 820. However, in determining the fair value of our investment, we may make adjustments to the NAV per share in certain circumstances, based on our analysis of any restrictions on redemption of our shares of our investment as of the measurement date, any restrictions on the ability to receive dividends, comparisons of market price to NAV per share of comparable publicly traded funds and trades or sales of comparable private and publicly traded funds, recent actual sales or redemptions of shares of the investment fund, public to private liquidity discounts, expected future cash flows available to equity holders including the rate of return on those cash flows compared to an implied market return on equity required by market participants, or other uncertainties surrounding our ability to realize the full NAV of the investment fund.

Partnership Interests

For an investment in a partnership, we measure the fair value of our investment based on the NAV per share of the partnership or its equivalent as a practical expedient to measure an alternative investment at fair value consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 820, as amended by ASU 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent). We make this election on an investment-by-investment basis and apply consistently to our entire position in the investment, unless it is probable at the measurement date that we will sell all or a portion of our investment at an amount other than NAV per share.

Interest Rate Derivatives

For interest rate derivative agreements, we estimate the fair value based on the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using a forward interest rate yield curve in effect as of the end of the measurement period, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, including a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of both our credit risk and counterparty credit risk. We consider the impact of any collateral requirements, credit enhancements or netting arrangements in evaluating credit risk.

Investment Classification

As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, "Control Investments" are investments in those companies that we are deemed to "Control." "Affiliate Investments" are investments in those companies that are "Affiliated Companies" of us, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. "Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments" are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, we are deemed to control a company if we own more than 25% of the voting securities of such company or have greater than 50% representation on its board of directors. We are deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which we have invested if we own between 5% and 25% of the voting securities of such company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

F-250

Concentration of Credit Risk

We place our cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and cash held in checking accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Our interest rate derivative agreements are with multiple large commercial financial institutions.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of funded cash collateral on deposit with a custodian under our TRS. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount and purchased discount and premiums are accreted into interest income using the effective interest method, where applicable. Loan origination fees are recorded as fee income upon receipt or deferred and accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when such amounts are received. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies and the record date for private portfolio companies for common equity securities. Dividend income is recognized on an accrual basis for preferred equity securities to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected or realized. In determining the amount of dividend income to recognize, if any, from cash distributions on common equity securities, we will assess many factors including a portfolio company's cumulative undistributed income and operating cash flow. Cash distributions from common equity securities received in excess of such undistributed amounts are recorded first as a reduction of our investment and then as a realized gain on investment. We stop accruing interest or dividends on our investments when it is determined that the interest or dividend is not collectible. We assess the collectability of the interest and dividends based on many factors including the portfolio company's ability to service our loan based on current and projected cash flows as well as the current valuation of the portfolio company's total enterprise value. For investments with payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest and cumulative dividends, we base income and dividend accruals on the valuation of the PIK notes or securities received from the borrower or the redemption value of the security. If the portfolio company valuation indicates a value of the PIK notes or securities that is not sufficient to cover the contractual interest or dividend, we will not accrue interest or dividend income on the notes or securities and will record an allowance for any accrued interest or dividend receivable as a reduction of interest or dividend income in the period we determine it is not collectible.

We also receive interest and dividend income from our debt and equity investments in our asset management company, ACAM. Interest income from ACAM is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded on the record date.

A change in the portfolio company valuation assigned by us could have an effect on our recognition of interest income on debt investments and dividend income of preferred stock investments. Also, a change in a portfolio company's operating performance and cash flows can impact a portfolio company's ability to service our debt and therefore could impact our interest income recognition.

Interest income on Structured Products is recognized using the effective interest method as required by FASB ASC Subtopic 325-40, Investments—Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40"). Under ASC 325-40, at the time of purchase, we estimate the future expected cash flows and determine the effective yield of an investment based on these estimated cash flows and the cost basis of the investment. Subsequent to the purchase, these estimated cash flows are updated quarterly and a revised effective yield is calculated prospectively in accordance with ASC 320-10-35, Investment—Debt and Equity Securities. In the event that the fair value of an investment decreases

F-251

below its current amortized cost basis, we may be required to write down the current amortized cost basis for a credit loss or to fair value depending on our hold expectations for the investment. Current amortized cost basis less the amount of any write down ("Reference Amount") is used to calculate the effective yield used for interest income recognition purposes over the remaining life of the investment. We are precluded from reversing write downs for any subsequent increase in the expected cash flows of an investment with the effect of increasing total interest income over the life of the investment and increasing the realized loss recorded on the sale or redemption of the investment by the amount of the credit loss write down. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies. These include the amount and timing of principal payments (including prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass through or coupon rate, and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying loans and the timing and magnitude of projected credit losses on the loans underlying the securities have to be estimated. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact our estimates and interest income. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $20.5 million in credit loss write downs to current amortized cost basis on six Structured Products investments. As of December 31, 2015, in aggregate, the amortized cost basis of our Structured Products investment portfolio exceeded the Reference Amount by approximately $109 million.

Fee Income Recognition

Fees primarily include asset management, portfolio company management, transaction, structuring, financing and prepayment fees. Asset management fees primarily represent fees for providing investment advisory and support services to ACAM, our asset management portfolio company. Portfolio company management fees, which are generally recurring in nature, represent amounts received for providing advice and analysis to the companies in our investment portfolio. Asset management and portfolio company management fees are recognized as earned, provided that collection is probable. Transaction structuring and financing fees represent amounts received for structuring, financing and executing transactions and are generally payable only if the transaction closes and are recognized as earned when the transaction is completed. Debt prepayment fees are recognized as they are received.

Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments

Realized gain or loss is recorded at the disposition of an investment and is the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method. We include the fair value of all financial assets received in our net proceeds in determining the realized gain or loss at disposition, including anticipated sale proceeds held in escrow at the time of sale. For an investment with a fair value of zero, we record a realized loss on the investment in the period in which we record a loss for income tax purposes.

Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the difference between the Board of Directors' valuation of the investment and the cost basis of the investment. For portfolio investments denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, the cost basis of our investment is translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as foreign currency translation in our consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

We translate the financial statements of European Capital from its functional currency, the Euro, to U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters ("ASC 830"). Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period and revenues and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates. Under ASC 830, we are required to include translation adjustments associated with the translation of European Capital's balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income.

F-252

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis and are stated at tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for net operating losses, capital losses and any tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. Items considered in determining our valuation allowance include expectations of future earnings of the appropriate tax character, recent historical financial results, tax planning strategies, the length of statutory carryforward periods and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences. Under ASC 740, forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence, such as cumulative losses in recent years.

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. We record income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, within current income tax expense.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs related to long-term debt obligations are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using either the effective interest method or straight-line method. Deferred financing costs are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Transfer of Financial Assets

For a transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale, the transfer must meet the sale criteria of FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing ("ASC 860"), under which we must surrender control over the transferred assets. The assets must be isolated from us, even in bankruptcy or other receivership; the purchaser must have the right to pledge or sell the assets transferred and we may not have the right or obligation to reacquire the assets. If the sale criteria are not met, the transfer is considered to be a secured borrowing, the assets remain on our consolidated balance sheets and the sale proceeds are recognized as a liability. The transfers of financial assets to funds managed by subsidiaries of our wholly-owned portfolio company, ACAM, have been treated as sales by us under ASC 860.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all share-based payments to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). We estimate the fair value of our employee stock awards at the date of grant using certain subjective assumptions, such as expected volatility, which is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility, and the expected term of the awards which is based on our historical experience of employee stock option exercises. Our valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of share-based awards may change in future periods. We recognize the fair value of awards over the vesting period or the requisite service period only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate. In addition, we calculate our pool of excess

F-253

tax benefits available within capital in excess of par value on our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the provisions ASC 718.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update) ("ASU 2015-15"), which codifies existing practice and the SEC staff position on the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit ("LOC") arrangements and provides that such costs may be deferred and presented as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the LOC arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the LOC arrangement. An entity is required to apply the guidance in ASU 2015-03 on a retrospective basis such that the balance sheet of each individual period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in accounting principle including the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (that is, debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) ("ASU 2015-07"), which removes the requirement to include, as well as provide certain disclosure for, investments in the fair value hierarchy for which the fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient. Disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-07 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which makes targeted improvements to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 focuses primarily on the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. Among its provisions for public business entities, ASU 2016-01 eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, requires the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires the separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the change in fair value of a liability due to instrument-specific credit risk for a liability for which the reporting entity has elected the fair value option, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) and clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from

F-254

unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for a limited number of provisions. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Investments

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment's fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

•
  Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
•
  Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•
  Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy tables set forth our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

The daily weighted average debt balance, excluding discounts, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $2,157 million and $1,091 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate

F-262

on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.7% and 4.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.2% and 4.3%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding deferred financing costs, as of December 31, 2015 was 4.0%.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the aggregate fair value of the above borrowings was $1,273 million and $1,729 million, respectively. The fair values of our debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions, and are measured using Level 3 inputs for our debt as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. It assumes that the liability is transferred to a market participant at the measurement date and that the nonperformance risk relating to that liability is the same before and after the transfer. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled and affects the value at which the liability is transferred. The fair value of our debt obligations is valued at the closing market quotes as of the measurement date or estimated based upon market interest rates for our own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, based on a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of our credit risk.

Unsecured Private Notes

On September 20, 2013, we entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, relating to the issuance and sale by us of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured five-year notes ("Private Notes"), for proceeds of $342 million, net of underwriters' discounts. The Private Notes were sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Private Notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and mature in September 2018. Interest payments are due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 and all principal is due on maturity. The Private Notes are rated B3, BB and BB– by Moody's Investor Services, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, respectively. The indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: (i) pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay junior debt and make certain investments; (ii) incur additional debt and issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock; (iii) incur certain liens; (iv) merge or consolidate with another company or sell substantially all of our assets; (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and (vi) allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us. The indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, a cross payment or acceleration default on an aggregate $50 million or more of other indebtedness, covenant defaults, bankruptcy events and failure to pay judgments. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Private Notes.

European Capital Unsecured Senior Notes

In December 2006, European Capital entered into a note purchase agreement to issue €52 million of senior unsecured 15-year notes due January 2022 to accredited investors in a private placement offering ("Series 2006-I Notes"). The Series 2006-I Notes had a floating rate of EURIBOR plus 2.75%. On June 17, 2015, the Series 2006-I Notes were repaid in full. In March 2007, European Capital entered into note purchase agreements to issue two $37.5 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2022 to accredited investors in a private placement offering ("Series 2007-I Notes" and "Series 2007-II Notes"). The Series 2007-I Notes and Series 2007-II Notes had a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. On August 18, 2015, the Series 2007-I Notes and Series 2007-II Notes were repaid in full.

F-263

Secured Term Loan Facility

On February 26, 2014, we entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the amended secured term loan facility under our Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2013, with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "Secured Term Loan Facility").

The Amendment reduced the interest rate on the Secured Term Loan Facility, which had an outstanding principal balance of $450 million as of the closing date, from LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Amendment also extended the Secured Term Loan Facility's maturity date by one year to August 2017.

In accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, $447 million of debt exchanged with the same lenders met the criterion for and was accounted as a modification of debt. Existing unamortized deferred financing costs and discount attributable to the modification of the Secured Term Loan Facility of $9 million will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the Secured Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method, while fees paid to other third-party advisors of $1 million were expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on our Secured Term Loan Facility was 3.50% and the borrowing base coverage was 385%. The Senior Term Loan Facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, an event of default under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility, a cross default on an aggregate $50 million or more of certain other indebtedness, the breach of representations or covenants, bankruptcy events, the failure to conduct our asset management business through ACAM, a change in control and the failure to pay judgments. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Secured Term Loan Facility.

The following table sets forth the scheduled amortization on the secured term loans and unsecured private notes:

August 2016 |  | $4.5 million
Secured Term Loans due August 2017 |  | Outstanding Balance
Unsecured Private Notes due September 2018 |  | Outstanding Balance

$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On August 22, 2012, we obtained a four-year $250 million secured revolving credit facility (the "$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility"), which bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.75%. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility was 4.00%.

On August 22, 2015, the commitment termination date, we chose not to renew commitments under the facility, and as a result, the outstanding balance on the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility is repayable ratably over the final 12 months until the maturity date on August 22, 2016.

As of December 31, 2015, the total debt outstanding under our $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility was $167 million. The $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, an event of default under the Secured Term Loan Facility, a cross default on an aggregate $50 million or more of certain other indebtedness, the breach of representations or covenants, bankruptcy events, the failure to conduct our asset management business through ACAM, a change in control and the failure to pay judgments. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility.

F-264

$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility

On June 27, 2014, ACAS Funding I, LLC, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, obtained a $750 million secured revolving credit facility provided by Bank of America, N.A. On March 6, 2015, the commitments to the existing $750 million secured revolving credit facility were increased by $500 million to $1.25 billion (the "$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility"). In addition to the increase, the maturity date of the facility was extended to March 6, 2017. On December 11, 2015, we closed an amendment which amended certain covenants to permit ACAS Funding I, LLC to repatriate the remaining proceeds from its senior floating rate loan portfolio sales while settling any associated liabilities. In addition, commencing on December 27, 2015 the commitments are calculated as the greater of total debt outstanding or $100 million. The facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility was 1.99%.

As of December 31, 2015, the facility is in a wind down period that prohibits us from purchasing additional assets or borrowing under the facility. We can reinstate our ability to borrow and purchase assets at any time prior to February 6, 2017, subject to certain terms outlined in the credit agreement.

We are required to pay a fee on the unused commitments under the facility in an amount equal to 1.60% on the average daily unused amount of lender commitments up to 60% of the daily average of total commitments, and 0.75% on the lesser of 40% of the daily average total commitments and average daily unused amount. Under the amendment, the unused fee was reduced to 0.50% on the average daily unused amount. To the extent we reinstate our ability to borrow, the unused fees will increase to the rates paid prior to the amendment on the three month anniversary of our ability to borrow under the facility being reinstated. All fees are payable quarterly. As of December 31, 2015, the total debt outstanding under our $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility was $272 million, which was secured by cash, receivables and portfolio investments with a fair value of $535 million. The credit facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, the breach of representations or covenants, credit triggers, the loss of key personnel, a change in investment manager, the occurrence of certain regulatory or criminal proceedings, bankruptcy events and the failure to pay judgments. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility.

$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2014, ACAS Funding II, LLC, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, obtained a $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the "$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility"), provided by Deutsche Bank AG. The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in October 2016, bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. On December 14, 2015, we closed an amendment that amended certain covenants to permit ACAS Funding II, LLC to repatriate the remaining proceeds from its senior floating rate loan portfolio sales while settling any associated liabilities. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was 1.93%.

As of December 31, 2015, the total debt outstanding under our $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was $33 million, which was secured by cash, receivables and portfolio investments with a fair value of $113 million. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility. On January 6, 2016, the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was repaid in full and terminated.

Note 5. Stock Options

We have stock option plans which provide for the granting of options to employees and non-employee directors to purchase shares of common stock at a price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the employee stock option plans vest over either a three or five year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under these plans may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options. As required by the 1940 Act, we are restricted from issuing awards to our employees and non-employee directors to the extent that the amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all such awards at the time of issuance exceeds 20% of our outstanding voting securities. As of December 31, 2015, there were 4.1 million shares available to be granted under the employee stock option plans and in accordance with the 1940 Act restrictions.

Our shareholders approved non-employee director stock option plans in 1998, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and we subsequently received orders from the SEC authorizing such plans. Stock options granted under the non-employee director stock option plans are non-qualified stock options that vest over a three year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2015, there were no shares available to be granted under the non-employee director stock option plans. No employee or non-employee director stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2015. Employee stock options of 0.1 million were granted during the year ended December 31, 2014. No non-employee director stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2014. Employee and non-employee director stock options of 3.7 million were granted during the year ended December 31, 2013.

During the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted stock options in excess of the individual employee limits established in certain of our stock option plans. These stock option grants were made during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012. As a result, the stock option grants in excess of the individual limits in any stock option plan have been considered null and void. Therefore, stock-based compensation expense associated with the null and void options of $3.5 million was reversed in the first quarter of 2014.

In addition, the communication of the voided stock option grants to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the voided stock option grants in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the option vesting periods. This financial obligation has been accounted for as a liability award and stock-based compensation expense of $5.8 million associated with prior periods was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The net impact of these adjustments was additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2014. An additional $1.4 million of income tax expense was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of these adjustments. These errors were immaterial to the individual prior periods impacted. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive

F-266

Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares of common stock from the Trust that had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.

In conjunction with the American Capital Equity III, LP transaction, certain investment professionals were transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAM, our wholly-owned portfolio company which manages American Capital Equity III, LP. Concurrent with this transfer, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by these investment professionals as of the date of the transfer was accelerated. In accordance with ASC 718, the acceleration of the unvested stock options was accounted for as a modification and resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense of approximately $5 million during the third quarter of 2014.

As discussed in Note 9, due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business which resulted in a workforce reduction of our employees in the fourth quarter of 2014. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and the employees were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. During the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, the acceleration of 1.0 million unvested stock options was accounted for as a modification and resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4 million related to additional workforce reductions.

The following table reflects the weighted average fair value per stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as the weighted average assumptions used in determining those fair values using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

As of December 31, 2015, the intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable was $163 million and $141 million, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded stock-based compensation expense attributable to our stock options of $18 million, $44 million and $30 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was recognized only for options expected to vest, using an estimated forfeiture rate based on historical experience. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the intrinsic value of stock options exercised were $80 million, $44 million and $41 million, respectively.

Note 6. Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the "Deferred Plan") for the purpose of granting cash bonus awards to our employees. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is the administrator of the Deferred Plan. The Deferred Plan is funded through a trust (the "Trust") which is administered by a third-party trustee. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines cash bonus awards to be granted under the Deferred Plan and the terms of such awards, including vesting schedules. The cash bonus awards are invested by the Trust in our common stock by purchasing shares in the open market. Awards vest contingent on the employee's continued employment or the achievement of performance goals, if any, as determined by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Trust provides certain protections of its assets from events other than claims against our assets in the case of bankruptcy. The assets and liabilities of the Trust are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares of our common stock held by the Trust are accounted for as treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Deferred Plan does not permit diversification and the cash bonus awards must be settled by the delivery of a fixed number of shares of our common stock. The awards under the Deferred Plan are accounted for as grants of unvested stock. We record stock-based compensation expense based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for awards with service conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. The compensation cost for bonus awards with performance and service conditions is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, cash bonus awards of $13 million, $10 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were granted under the Deferred Plan.

F-268

As discussed in Note 5, during the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted $2.6 million of cash bonus awards in fiscal year 2007 in excess of the annual individual employee limit established in the Deferred Plan. As a result, the $2.6 million of cash bonus awards have been considered null and void. Stock-based compensation expense associated with the null and void cash bonus awards of $2.6 million was reversed in the first quarter of 2014.

In addition, the communication of the $2.6 million of excess cash bonus awards to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the cash bonus awards in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the award vesting period. The financial obligation has been accounted for as a liability award and stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million associated with prior periods was recorded in the first quarter of 2014. The net impact of these adjustments was a $1.1 million reduction to stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2014. An additional $0.3 million of income tax expense was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of these adjustments. These errors were immaterial to the individual prior periods impacted. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares from the Trust which had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $8 million, $5 million and $2 million, respectively, attributable to the Deferred Plan. As of December 31, 2015, the total compensation cost related to non-vested cash bonus awards not yet recognized was $10 million with a weighted average period to be recognized of 2.3 years.

A summary of the bonus awards under the Deferred Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:

|  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Non-vested, beginning of year |  |  | 0.5 |  | $ | 14.84 |
Granted |  |  | 0.9 |  | $ | 14.35 |
Vested |  |  | (0.5 | ) | $ | 14.73 |
Canceled |  |  | 0.0 |  | $ | 13.38 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Non-vested, end of year |  |  | 0.9 |  | $ | 14.40 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

As of December 31, 2015, there were 2.8 million shares of our common stock in the Trust that were vested but not yet distributed to the employees.

Long Term Incentive Plan Liability

European Capital has issued restricted mandatorily redeemable preferred shares ("Redeemable Preferred Shares") to participating employees of subsidiary companies of its manager, European Capital Asset Management Limited ("ECAM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAM, under Long Term Incentive Plans (the "Plans") for an issue price determined at the time of issuance. The Plans have a 5-year vesting period. The Redeemable Preferred Shares are subdivided into subclasses of shares. The redemption value of each sub-class of Redeemable Preferred Shares is calculated using a predetermined formula and is based on the net liquidity proceeds, as defined in the Plans, on the exit of specifically referenced investments of European Capital in excess of certain hurdle rates. The Plans have annual calculation and redemption dates through December 31, 2018 and March 1, 2019,

F-269

respectively, for sub-classes A, B and C and December 31, 2023 and March 1, 2024, respectively, for sub-classes D, E and F. Redeemable Preferred Shares related to specifically referenced investments not exited at the final annual calculation dates will be redeemed after the receipt of subsequent net liquidity proceeds or, if specifically referenced investments that remain outstanding on January 1, 2020 for sub-classes A, B and C and January 1, 2025 for sub-classes D, E and F, will be redeemed based on the realizable value of the remaining referenced investments. European Capital elected to recognize the Redeemable Preferred Shares at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments.

The holders of the Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to participate in or receive notice of any general meeting of European Capital and the shares are generally not transferable. The Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to receive dividends. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, a portion of Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized a loss of $46 million, offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $46 million, which is included in net realized (loss) gain and net unrealized appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares is calculated as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 using the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of the underlying European Capital investments with discounts applied for equity risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, minority interests, lack of marketability and a forfeiture rate. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $34 million and $82 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the underlying European Capital investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $367 million and $608 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the redemption amount for 2016 is expected to be approximately $11 million.

The following table summarizes the number of shares issued and redeemed for the year ended December 31, 2015:

|  | Class A |  | Class B |  | Class C |  | Class D |  | Class E |  | Class F |  | Total |

Note 7. Net Operating Income and Net Earnings Per Common Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net operating income and net earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Basic net operating income per common share |  | $ | 0.95 |  | $ | 0.44 |  | $ | 0.53 |
Diluted net operating income per common share |  | $ | 0.95 |  | $ | 0.42 |  | $ | 0.51 |
Basic net (loss) earnings per common share |  | $ | (0.70 | ) | $ | 1.62 |  | $ | 0.63 |
Diluted net (loss) earnings per common share |  | $ | (0.70 | ) | $ | 1.55 |  | $ | 0.61 |

F-270

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of stock options, unvested employee stock awards and contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic EPS and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the year ended December 31, 2015 as we incurred a net loss for that period.

Stock options and unvested shares under our deferred compensation plan of 37.7 million, 7.6 million and 8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS either because the respective exercise or grant prices are greater than the average market value of the underlying stock or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, as determined using the treasury stock method.

Note 9. Restructuring Costs

Due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 13% of our employees and the closing of one of our offices as well as the elimination of certain functions at other offices. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and they were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. We recorded charges for both severance and related employee costs and excess office facilities costs of $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, including $11 million from the modification of stock options. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded charges for both severance and related employee costs of $12 million, including $4 million from the modification of stock options related to additional workforce reductions. The severance and related employee costs and the additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from the modification are included in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation and the excess facilities costs are included in general

F-271

and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations. The liability for employee severance costs and excess facilities is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

In determining our liability related to excess office facilities, we are required to estimate such factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and may result in revisions to the liability. Our remaining liability of $4 million as of December 31, 2015 related to these excess office facilities represents gross lease commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2023 of approximately $20 million, net of committed and estimated sublease income of approximately $15 million and a present value factor of $1 million. We have entered into signed sublease arrangements for approximately $2 million, with the remaining $13 million based on estimated future sublease income.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity during the year ended December 31, 2015:

|  | Severance |  | Excess Office Facilities |  | Total |

Share Repurchase Program

During 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a program pursuant to which it will consider quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for share repurchases or dividends (the "Program"). Generally, the amount may be utilized for repurchases if the price of our common stock represents a

F-272

discount to its NAV per share, and the amount may be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of our common stock represents a premium to its NAV per share.

Repurchases under the Program were suspended in March 2014 as we undertook a process to evaluate potential capital requirements that could result from our previously announced plan to consider organizational changes to enhance shareholder value. We later announced that our Board had unanimously approved a plan to proceed with the spin-off of most of its investments in new a BDC to our shareholders, with American Capital continuing as a public asset manager. During the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors determined that it was appropriate to reinstate authorization for share repurchases while we seek to accomplish the announced spin-off. We included the written notice to stockholders required by Section 23(c) of the 1940 Act regarding the possibility of share repurchases over the next six months in a Letter to Stockholders dated September 11, 2015. Our Board of Directors modified the Program during the fourth quarter of 2015 to authorize the purchase of $600 million to $1 billion of common stock through June 30, 2016 at prices per share below 85% of our most recent quarterly NAV per share, subject to certain conditions. We have entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to undertake accretive share repurchases on a non-discretionary basis up to the $1 billion limit.

In determining the quarterly amount, the Board of Directors will be guided by our net cash provided by operating activities in preceding quarters, our capital requirements associated with completion of the spin-off transaction, our cash position, operational issues, economic conditions and the current trading price of our common stock and other factors. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we repurchased a total of 36.9 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $526 million at an average price of $14.25 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we repurchased a total of 8.9 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $137 million at an average price of $15.38 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we repurchased a total of 40.4 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $561 million at an average price of $13.90 per share.

The Program may be further suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares of our common stock.

Note 11. Income Taxes

As a taxable corporation under Subchapter C of the Code, we are subject to federal and applicable state corporate income taxes on our taxable ordinary income and capital gains. However, we estimate that for income tax purposes, we had both net operating loss carryforwards and net long-term capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2015. Our tax fiscal year ends on September 30.

Effective October 1, 2014, we consolidated our wholly-owned portfolio company, European Capital in our consolidated financial statements. European Capital and its wholly-owned subsidiary, European Capital S.A. SICAR (collectively, "ECAS") are both controlled foreign corporations for U.S. tax purposes. Each entity pays an immaterial amount of non-U.S. income taxes. ECAS may produce subpart F income that must be reported on the U.S. tax return of American Capital.

We file a consolidated federal income tax return with eligible corporate subsidiaries, including portfolio companies in which we hold 80% or more of the outstanding equity interest measured by both vote and fair value. As a result, we have entered into a tax sharing agreement under which members of the consolidated tax group are compensated for losses and other tax benefits by members that are able to use those losses and tax benefits on their pro forma stand-alone federal income tax return.

The following table sets forth the significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

The table above classifies certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on management's estimate of the expected tax character of recognition of the reversal of the timing differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as either ordinary or capital income. However, the ultimate tax character of the deferred tax asset or liability may change from the above classification based on the ultimate form of recognition of the timing difference.

As of December 31, 2015, our deferred tax asset was $743 million, our deferred tax liability was $245 million, our valuation allowance was $300 million and our net deferred tax asset was $198 million.

We estimate the expected tax character of recognition of the reversal of the timing differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as either ordinary or capital income. However, the ultimate tax character of the deferred tax asset or liability may change from our estimated classification based on the ultimate form of recognition of the timing difference. As of December 31, 2015, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will have future ordinary income to realize the majority of our ordinary deferred tax assets and therefore did not record a valuation allowance against these ordinary deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2015, we determined that it is not more likely than not that we will be able to utilize our ordinary deferred tax asset related to our investment in European Capital in its entirety. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance to be established, we assessed all available evidence, both positive and negative. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence in determining whether it was more likely than not that the ordinary deferred tax asset would be realized. Significant negative evidence existed in management's update to the strategic review, resulting in uncertainty about the ability to generate sufficient income to utilize the deductible inside basis differences and qualified deficits related to the investment in European Capital. We believe that $14 million of the ordinary deferred tax asset will be realized; however, we established

F-274

a valuation allowance against the remaining portion of the ordinary deferred tax asset. As a result, we recognized a tax provision of $141 million associated with the establishment of the valuation allowance.

On April 1, 2015, the New York State Legislature passed legislation that enacted several tax law changes that impact American Capital. As a result of the tax law changes, it is more likely than not that a portion of our net operating losses ("NOL") generated in New York City will expire unutilized. Therefore, during the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a $12 million valuation allowance against a $13 million deferred tax asset related to $144 million of NOLs generated in New York City.

We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against a significant portion of our capital deferred tax assets. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize $25 million of our capital deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and we have established a valuation allowance of $147 million against the remaining capital deferred tax assets.

We continue to assess our ability to realize our existing capital deferred tax assets. We believe that due to the recent decision to solicit offers to acquire individual lines of business or the company in its entirety, certain investments that had previously been determined to be long-lived assets may provide a source of taxable income to realize certain capital deferred tax assets. Assessing the recoverability of a deferred tax asset requires management to make estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from investments and operations, the character of expected income or loss as either capital or ordinary, and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows or the amount or character of taxable income differ significantly from these estimates, our ability to realize the deferred tax assets could be impacted.

Under ASC 718, our capital in excess of par value in our shareholders' equity includes the excess tax benefits generated from our stock-based compensation plans when our allowable income tax deduction for the award exceeds the compensation expense recorded for book purposes ("APIC Pool"). As of December 31, 2015, our APIC Pool totaled $35 million.

Additionally, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, following an "ownership change," certain limitations apply to the use by a "loss corporation" of certain tax attributes including net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, unrealized built-in losses and tax credits arising before the "ownership change." Such tax attributes represent substantially all of our deferred tax assets. In general, an "ownership change" would occur if there is a cumulative change in the ownership of our common stock of more than 50% by one or more "5% shareholders" during a three-year period. In the event of an "ownership change," the tax attributes that may be used to offset our future taxable income in each year after the "ownership change" will be subject to an annual limitation. In general, the annual limitation is equal to the product of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the "ownership change" and the "long term tax exempt rate" (which is published monthly by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to specified adjustments. This limitation could accelerate our cash tax payments and could result in a significant portion of our deferred tax asset expiring before we could fully use it. On April 27, 2012, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation to impose certain restrictions on the transfer of our common stock through April 27, 2015. These restrictions reduced, but did not eliminate, the risk of an "ownership change" through their expiration date.

As of December 31, 2015, we estimate that we had $555 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards and various state net operating loss carryforwards for which we have recorded a gross ordinary deferred tax asset of $233 million. The ordinary deferred tax asset includes a reduction of $14 million for the excess tax benefits generated from our stock-based compensation plans that resulted in an increase in our net operating losses, but which may not be recorded until utilization. For federal income tax purposes, the net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years from 2030 through 2034. The timing and manner in which we will utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in any year, or in total, may be limited in the future under the provisions of the Code and applicable state laws.

A reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate and our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

During the first quarter of 2015, we restructured our investment in CML Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("CML"), which resulted in the recognition of an ordinary loss. We recognized a $136 million ordinary loss on our equity investment in CML, which was $9 million less than the book realized loss of $145 million, due to consolidated basis adjustments in prior years as a result of CML filing with American Capital's consolidated tax return. In addition, CML recognized an $83 million capital gain on an operating subsidiary that was offset by capital loss carryforwards at American Capital. We will not be reimbursed through the tax sharing agreement for the utilization of the capital loss carryforward and this was a permanent difference in income recognition. The net impact was a decrease of our gross deferred tax asset of $35 million, offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance of $35 million, resulting in no net tax impact to the provision.

During the first and second quarters of 2015, we recognized subpart F income on our U.S. tax return from our investment in European Capital that resulted in a $10 million tax provision, net of related changes in European Capital's deferred tax assets.

We recognized a provision of $142 million in 2015 related to an increase in the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. A significant portion of the increase is due to the change in judgment that it was not more likely than not that the company would be able to realize its deferred tax asset related to its investment in European Capital in its entirety.

Components of our tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

We identify our major tax jurisdictions as federal, New York and Maryland. The federal tax fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for American Capital remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). During the first quarter of 2014, we received notice from the IRS that their examination of the September 30, 2008 tax year was concluded and no changes to income or tax resulted.

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits:

Unrecognized tax benefits—January 1, 2015 |  | $ | 48 |
Increase related to positions taken during the current year |  |  | — |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Unrecognized tax benefits—December 31, 2015 |  | $ | 48 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

The unrecognized tax benefit has been presented as a reduction of an ordinary deferred tax asset for a net operating loss.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual agreements that facilitate transactions or provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of our obligations under such agreements. We have not had any claims nor made any payments pursuant to such agreements. We cannot estimate the maximum potential exposure under these arrangements as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that have not yet occurred. However, based on our experience, we expect the risk of any material loss to us to be remote.

We are a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Loan and Financing Agreements

As of December 31, 2015, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $213 million to 28 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are

F-277

generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and availability under borrowing base thresholds. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. As of December 31, 2015, European Capital and its affiliates had a commitment of $62 million to fund European Capital UK SME Debt LP and $100 million to fund a European Capital debt fund ("ECAS debt fund"). In addition, as of December 31, 2015, ACAM had a commitment of $125 million to American Capital Equity III, LP, which is to be funded by an equity investment from American Capital. See Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of ACAM's American Capital Equity III, LP's commitment.

Non-Cancelable Operating Leases

We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space and office equipment. The leases expire over the next eleven years and contain provisions for certain annual rental escalations. Rent expense for operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $10 million, $10 million and $9 million, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2015, net of any expected receipts under non-cancelable subleases, were as follows:

2016 |  | $ | 14 |
2017 |  |  | 14 |

Total Return Swaps

ACTRS, a wholly-owned consolidated affiliate of American Capital, entered into TRS transactions with Citibank, N.A. (the "2012 TRS" and "2012 TRS II"). The TRS', which are non-recourse to American Capital, replicate the performance of reference pools of senior floating rate loans (each, a "Reference Pool"). The maximum amount of the loans that was included in the Reference Pool was $400 million (determined at the time each such loan is added to the Reference Pool) and the maximum cash collateral requirement was $100 million. As of December 31, 2014, ACTRS had provided $100 million of cash collateral for the loans in the 2012 TRS and 2012 TRS II Reference Pools, which is recorded in the financial statement line item restricted cash and cash equivalents in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2014, the loans in the Reference Pools for the 2012 TRS and the 2012 TRS II had a notional of approximately $27 million. The 2012 TRS and 2012 TRS II matured in December 2014 and the posted cash collateral was returned to ACTRS in 2015.

Note 13. Significant Subsidiaries

We have determined that for the year ended December 31, 2015, or for the periods presented in our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, European Capital Limited, CML Pharmaceuticals, Inc., SEHAC Holding Corporation and WIS Holding Company, Inc. have met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.

Note 14. Asset Sales

On August 5, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain CLO equity investments to American Capital CLO Fund I, LP ("ACAS CLO Fund I") for $300 million. The purchase price was the aggregate fair value of the CLO equity investments as of June 30, 2015, subject to customary adjustments. The closing of the sale occurred on November 2, 2015. ACAS CLO Fund I is a $450 million private investment fund, which invests primarily in equity tranches of CLOs. ACAS CLO Fund I is managed by a subsidiary of ACAM for customary management and incentive fees.

The ECAS debt fund is a private debt fund that closed during the second quarter of 2015 with €318 million of capital commitments, of which €165 million was committed by European Capital and its affiliates. The ECAS debt fund provides debt financing to mid-market companies in Europe, primarily through unitranche, second lien and mezzanine financing, with secondary purchases of senior loans on an opportunistic basis. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the ECAS debt fund had an additional closing of €69 million which increased the total capital commitments to €387 million. We anticipate a final closing by March 2016 to increase the investment capacity of the fund. The fund will have a three year investment period and a subsidiary of ACAM manages the ECAS debt fund for an annual management fee of 1.50% on deployed capital and up to a 15% carried interest, subject to certain hurdles. The ECAS debt fund will be dissolved on March 19, 2025, unless extended. In April 2015, European Capital sold €162 million ($175 million) of investments at their approximate fair value in 9 portfolio companies to the ECAS debt fund. European Capital received €158 million ($170 million) for the sale of these assets and recognized a realized loss of €4 million ($5 million). As of December 31, 2015, European Capital's investment in the ECAS debt fund had a cost basis and fair value of $81 million and $85 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, European Capital had an unfunded commitment of €91 million ($100 million) to the ECAS debt fund.

On April 28, 2014, we completed a $1.1 billion private placement of partnership interests in American Capital Equity III, LP ("ACE III" or "the Fund"), a new private equity fund focused on investing in U.S. companies in the lower middle market. Concurrent with the private placement, we entered into a Contribution and Redemption Agreement with the Fund pursuant to which we agreed to contribute 100% of our equity and equity-related investments in seven portfolio companies (Affordable Care Holding Corp., Avalon Laboratories Holding Corp., CIBT Investment Holdings, LLC, FAMS Acquisition, Inc., Mirion Technologies, Inc., PHI Acquisitions, Inc. and SMG Holdings, Inc.) to the Fund and to provide the Fund with an option to acquire our equity investment in WRH, Inc. (the "Equity Option"), in exchange for partnership interests in the Fund. Collectively, the eight portfolio companies (including WRH, Inc., assuming the Equity Option is exercised) comprise the Secondary Portfolio for ACE III. On April 1, 2015, the Equity Option was exercised by the Fund for the exercise price of $24 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized a realized loss of

F-279

$225 million on our WRH, Inc. equity investment offset by a (i) $115 million reversal of unrealized depreciation on the investment, (ii) $65 million reversal of unrealized depreciation on the Equity Option derivative and (iii) $45 million realized gain on the Equity Option. The Fund's aggregate $1.1 billion capital commitment includes a commitment of $200 million from ACAM for Primary Investments, of which $125 million was undrawn as of December 31, 2015.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

As a BDC, we are required by law to make available significant managerial assistance to our eligible portfolio companies. Such assistance typically involves providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations and business objectives and policies of the portfolio company to its management and board of directors, including participating on the company's board of directors. We have an operations team with significant turnaround and bankruptcy experience that assists our investment professionals in providing intensive operational and managerial assistance to our portfolio companies that require such assistance. As of December 31, 2015, we had board seats on 38 companies in our investment portfolio. Providing assistance to the companies in our investment portfolio serves as an opportunity for us to maximize their value.

The following table shows the operating revenue from our control investments, as defined under the 1940 Act, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

American Capital Asset Management

Our fund management business is conducted through ACAM. In general, ACAM provides investment management services through consolidated subsidiaries that enter into management agreements with each of its managed funds. In addition, American Capital or ACAM may invest directly into these funds and earn investment income from its investments in those funds. Under the management agreements, ACAM's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, sourcing, analyzing and executing investments and asset sales, delivering financial and compliance reports to investors in the funds under management, administering the daily business and affairs of the funds under management and performing other asset management duties. We have entered into service agreements with ACAM to provide it with additional asset management and administrative services support. Through these agreements, we provide investment advisory and oversight services to ACAM, as well as access to our employees, infrastructure, business relationships, management expertise and capital raising capabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized operating revenues from our investment in ACAM of $152 million, $111 million and $133 million, respectively.

European Capital

As discussed in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, we consolidated our investment in European Capital effective October 1, 2014. ACAM, through its subsidiary, ECAM, acts as the investment manager to European Capital. Under ACAM's investment management agreement with European Capital, ACAM is entitled to receive an annual management fee of 2% of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all the investments at fair value of European Capital, an incentive fee equal to 100% of the net earnings in excess of a return of 8% but less than a return of 10%, and 20% of the net earnings thereafter. The investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to waive the incentive fee for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to cancel the

F-280

incentive fee for 2015 and going forward. The management fee charged by ACAM was $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, which is included in our consolidated statements of operations.

As discussed in Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements, European Capital has issued Redeemable Preferred Shares to employees of ECAM as part of long term employee incentive plans. These shares are redeemable by European Capital based on the aggregate returns on investments made after January 1, 2012 and are treated as mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $34 million and $82 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized a loss of $46 million offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $46 million, which is included in net realized (loss) gain and net unrealized appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

American Capital Equity I, LLC and American Capital Equity II, LP

On June 30, 2015, we entered into stock purchase agreements with American Capital Equity I, LLC and American Capital Equity II, LP under which we acquired secondary and add-on investments in 24 portfolio companies for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million. The initial purchase price for such investments was based on the fair value of the investments as of March 31, 2015, but is potentially subject to increase on June 30, 2016 as a result of certain post-closing adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $31 million of net unrealized depreciation after our acquisition of these investments, which is included in net unrealized appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

  Interest rates represent the weighted average annual stated interest rate on loans and debt securities in effect on the date presented, which are presented by the nature of indebtedness by a single issuer. Some loans and debt securities bear interest at variable rates, primarily the three-month LIBOR, with interest rate floors. PIK represents contractually deferred interest that is typically compounded into the principal balance of the loan or debt security, if not paid on a current basis. PIK interest may be prepaid by the portfolio company's election, but generally is paid upon a change of control transaction or maturity. The maturity date represents the latest date in which the loan or debt security is scheduled to terminate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)

Note 1. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Interim consolidated financial statements of American Capital, Ltd. (which is referred to throughout this report as "American Capital", "we", "us" and "our") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The current period's consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to our current period presentation.

Upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03") effective January 1, 2016, debt issuance costs associated with our borrowings, other than our revolving credit facilities, were reclassified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related borrowing. In accordance with ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting, debt issuance costs associated with our revolving credit facilities remain classified as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the facility. Pursuant to ASU 2015-03, we have reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our borrowings, excluding our revolving facilities, in our previously reported consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 as follows:

|  | As Presented, December 31, 2015 |  | Reclassifications |  | As Adjusted, December 31, 2015 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Other assets |  | $ | 98 |  | $ | (4 | ) | $ | 94 |
Total assets |  | $ | 6,244 |  | $ | (4 | ) | $ | 6,240 |

Total liabilities |  | $ | 1,422 |  | $ | (4 | ) | $ | 1,418 |

Reclassifications had no impact on prior periods' net earnings or shareholders' equity.

Consolidation

Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, the SEC's Division of Investment Management's consolidation guidance in IM Guidance Update No. 2014-11 issued in October 2014 and Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies ("ASC 946"), we

are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company that acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. An exception to this guidance occurs if we have an investment in a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to us.

We currently consolidate ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC, which are wholly-owned special purpose financing vehicles that were formed for the purpose of purchasing Senior Floating Rate Loans under a $1.25 billion secured revolving credit facility and $500 million secured revolving credit facility, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC did not have any other operations or activities. As of December 31, 2015, we also consolidated American Capital TRS, LLC ("ACTRS"), which is a wholly-owned entity that has entered into non-recourse total return swaps ("TRS") with Citibank, N.A. As of December 31, 2015, ACTRS did not have any other operations or activities. The TRS is accounted for as a derivative pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of European Capital Limited ("European Capital"), which is a wholly-owned investment company that, effective October 1, 2014, acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. In addition, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AC Corporate Holdings, Inc. ("ACCH") and ACE Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ACE Acquisition"), which are wholly-owned entities that have purchased certain investment securities on behalf of American Capital. As of March 31, 2016, European Capital, ACCH and ACE Acquisition did not have any other operations or activities and were considered to be investment companies under ASC 946, as amended by ASU No. 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements.

Note 2. Organization

We are a non-diversified closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). As a BDC, we primarily invest in senior and mezzanine debt and equity in buyouts of private companies sponsored by us ("American Capital One Stop Buyouts®") or sponsored by other private equity funds and provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies ("Sponsor Finance and Other Investments"). We also invest in first and second lien floating rate loans to large-market U.S. based companies ("Senior Floating Rate Loans") and structured finance investments ("Structured Products"), including collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") securities. Our primary business objectives are to increase our net earnings and net asset value ("NAV") by making investments with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.

Through our tax years ended September 30, 1998 through September 30, 2010, we qualified to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Effective with our tax year ended September 30, 2011, we did not qualify to be taxed as a RIC and became subject to taxation as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code (a "Subchapter C corporation"). This change in tax status does not affect our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act or our compliance with the portfolio composition requirements of that statute.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends and conforms the guidance on the recognition of assets and liabilities that arise from operating and finance leases. Under ASU 2016-02, all leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee that

F-309

should be recognized in the statement of financial position as a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability), initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. ASU 2016-02 also provides clarifying guidance on optional lease payments and variable lease payments as well as the income statement and cash flow presentation of operating and finance leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2016-06"), which clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts and requires that an entity assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence in ASC 815. ASU 2016-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-06 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payments and affects all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU 2016-09 primarily simplifies the accounting for and classification of, income taxes related to share-based payment awards, including the impact of income taxes withheld on the classification of awards as equity or liabilities and the classification of income taxes on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 also permits an entity to elect a forfeiture rate assumption based on the estimated number of awards expected to vest or to account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2016. The provisions of ASU 2019-06 should be adopted on a modified retrospective, retrospective or prospective basis, depending on the provision. As a result of the early adoption on January 1, 2016, we recognized a deferred tax asset associated with excess tax benefits and a corresponding cumulative effect adjustment to our shareholders' equity of $16 million on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4. Investments

Our investments consist of loans and securities issued by public and privately-held companies, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities. We also invest in Structured Products, which includes CLO securities.

We fair value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter to determine the fair value of our investments in accordance with ASC 820. The quarterly valuation process begins with the development of a preliminary valuation recommendation for each investment by our Financial Advisory and Consulting Team ("FACT"), which is composed of valuation and audit professionals responsible for monitoring portfolio compliance and valuations. In preparing the preliminary valuation recommendations, FACT receives assistance from our investment professionals that both originated and monitor the investment as well as assistance from other departments including operations, accounting and legal. The preliminary valuation recommendations are reviewed by senior management and then

F-310

presented to our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee for review and approval. Subsequent to the approval from our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee, the valuation recommendations are sent to our Board of Directors for final approval.

When available, we base the fair value of our investments that trade in active markets on directly observable market prices or on market data derived for comparable assets. For restricted securities of companies that are publicly traded, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date less a discount for the restriction. For all other investments, inputs used to measure fair value reflect management's best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction. For these investments, we estimate the fair value of our senior debt, mezzanine debt, redeemable and convertible preferred equity, common equity and equity warrants using either an enterprise value waterfall methodology, which generally combines market and income approaches, or a market yield valuation methodology, which utilizes the income approach. We estimate the fair value of our Structured Products using the market and income approaches, third-party broker quotes and counterparty marks.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

ASC 820 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market for an asset is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.

The principal market in which we would sell our Senior Floating Rate Loans and certain of our non-controlled Sponsor Finance debt investments is an active over-the-counter secondary market. For our other debt and equity investments, there is no active market and we are generally repaid our debt investment or sell our equity investment upon a change of control transaction such as through the mergers and acquisition ("M&A") market. Accordingly, the market in which we would sell certain of our non-controlled debt and all of our equity investments is the M&A market. However, under ASC 820, we have identified the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in these portfolio companies only if we have the ability to control the decision to sell the portfolio company as of the measurement date. We determine whether we have the ability to control the decision to sell a portfolio company based on our ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date and rights within the shareholders agreement. In evaluating if we can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, we include our equity securities and those securities held by entities managed by our wholly-owned portfolio company, American Capital Asset Management, LLC ("ACAM"), on a fully diluted basis. For investments in portfolio companies for which we do not have the ability to control or gain control as of

F-311

the measurement date and for which there is no active market, the principal market under ASC 820 is a hypothetical secondary market.

Accordingly, we use the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in portfolio companies that we control or can gain control as of the measurement date, and we use a hypothetical secondary market for our investments in portfolio companies that we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date. However, to the extent that an active market exists for such investments, we will consider that as the principal market. Our valuation policy considers the fact that no ready active market exists for a significant amount of our investments and that the fair value for our investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

Enterprise Value Waterfall Methodology

For investments in portfolio companies that we have identified the M&A market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the enterprise value waterfall ("Enterprise Value Waterfall") valuation methodology. For minority equity securities in which the principal market is the hypothetical secondary market, we also estimate the fair value using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology.

Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company's securities in order of their preference relative to one another. In applying the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we consider that in a change of control transaction, our loans are generally required to be repaid at par and that a buyer cannot assume the loan.

To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we prepare an analysis of traditional valuation methodologies including valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets, third-party valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third-parties to buy the portfolio company and considering the value of recent third-party investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. Significant inputs in these valuation methodologies to estimate enterprise value include the historical or projected operating results of the portfolio company, selection of comparable companies, discounts or premiums to the prices of comparable companies and discount rates applied to the forecasted cash flows. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for non-recurring items or to normalize the operating results that may require significant judgment in its determination. In addition, projecting future financial results requires significant judgment regarding future growth assumptions. In evaluating the operating results, we also analyze the impact of exposure to litigation, loss of customers or other contingencies. The selection of a population of comparable companies requires significant judgment, including a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. In determining a discount or premium, if any, to prices of comparable companies, we use significant judgment for factors such as size, marketability, relative performance, and for portfolio companies in which we control, a control premium to the market price of comparable public companies. In determining a discount rate to apply to forecasted cash flows, we use significant judgment in the development of an appropriate discount rate including the evaluation of an appropriate risk premium.

In valuing convertible debt, equity or other similar securities, we value our investment based on its priority in the waterfall and based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt from the estimated enterprise value. We value non-convertible debt at the face amount of the debt to the extent that the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company exceeds the outstanding debt of the portfolio company. If the estimated enterprise value is less than the outstanding debt of the portfolio company, we reduce the fair value of our debt investment beginning

F-312

with the junior most debt such that the enterprise value less the fair value of the outstanding debt is zero.

Market Yield Valuation Methodology

For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments in portfolio companies for which we are required to identify a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the assumptions that we believe hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield ("Market Yield") valuation methodology.

For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments of our investment portfolio for which we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date and no active market exists, we estimate the fair value based on such factors as third-party broker quotes and our own assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. We estimate the remaining life based on market data of the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information available to us that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date, including considering the current maturity date of the loan. The average life used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since our loans have historically been prepaid prior to the maturity date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on the current interest rate spreads on similar loans. We use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.

We fair value our investments in Structured Products based on such factors as third-party broker quotes, counterparty marks, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and our cash flow forecasts. Cash flow forecasts are subject to assumptions a market participant would use regarding the investments' underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participant's market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structure and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes or counterparty marks, if any, in determining fair value based on the correlation of changes in third-party broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices.

Third-party Vendor Pricing

For debt investments that trade in an active market or that have similar assets that trade in an active market, we estimate the fair value based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized, independent pricing service or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt instruments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the price provided by the third-party pricing service and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including a review and analysis of executable broker quote(s), range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, yields of similar securities or other qualitative and quantitative information. If the prices provided by the pricing service are consistent with such information, we will generally use the price provided by the pricing service as fair value.

F-313

Investments in Investment Funds

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of our investment predominately based on the NAV per share of the investment fund if the NAV of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946 as of the measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with ASC 820. However, in determining the fair value of our investment, we may make adjustments to the NAV per share in certain circumstances, based on our analysis of any restrictions on redemption of our shares of our investment as of the measurement date, any restrictions on the ability to receive dividends, comparisons of market price to NAV per share of comparable publicly traded funds and trades or sales of comparable private and publicly traded funds, recent actual sales or redemptions of shares of the investment fund, public to private liquidity discounts, expected future cash flows available to equity holders including the rate of return on those cash flows compared to an implied market return on equity required by market participants, or other uncertainties surrounding our ability to realize the full NAV of the investment fund.

Partnership Interests

For an investment in a partnership, we measure the fair value of our investment based on the NAV per share of the partnership or its equivalent as a practical expedient to measure an alternative investment at fair value consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 820, as amended by ASU 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent). We make this election on an investment-by-investment basis and apply consistently to our entire position in the investment, unless it is probable at the measurement date that we will sell all or a portion of our investment at an amount other than NAV per share.

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment's fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

•
  Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
•
  Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•
  Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

Note 5. Borrowings

Our borrowings, net of deferred financing costs, consisted of the following as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

|  | March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |

Secured term loan due August 2017, net of discount |  |  | 438 |  |  | 437 |
Unsecured Private Notes due September 2018, net of discount |  |  | 345 |  |  | 344 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total |  | $ | 887 |  | $ | 1,253 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

As discussed in Note 1, effective January 1, 2016, debt issuance costs associated with our borrowings, other than our revolving credit facilities, were reclassified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related borrowing.

The daily weighted average debt balance, excluding deferred financing costs and discounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,012 million and $1,845 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 5.8% and 3.7%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 4.6%

F-322

and 3.2%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding deferred financing costs and discounts, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 4.8% and 4.0%, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of our borrowings, excluding deferred financing costs and discounts, was $901 million and $1,273 million, respectively. The fair values of our borrowings are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions, and are measured using Level 3 inputs for our debt as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. It assumes that the liability is transferred to a market participant at the measurement date and that the nonperformance risk relating to that liability is the same before and after the transfer. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled and affects the value at which the liability is transferred. The fair value of our borrowings is valued at the closing market quotes as of the measurement date or estimated based upon market interest rates for our own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, based on a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of our credit risk.

Unsecured Private Notes

On September 20, 2013, we entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, relating to the issuance and sale by us of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured five-year notes ("Private Notes"), for proceeds of $342 million, net of underwriters' discounts. The Private Notes were sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Private Notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and mature in September 2018. Interest payments are due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 and all principal is due on maturity. The Private Notes are rated B3, BB and BB– by Moody's Investor Services, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, respectively. The indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: (i) pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay junior debt and make certain investments; (ii) incur additional debt and issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock; (iii) incur certain liens; (iv) merge or consolidate with another company or sell substantially all of our assets; (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and (vi) allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us. The indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, a cross payment or acceleration default on an aggregate $50 million or more of other indebtedness, covenant defaults, bankruptcy events and failure to pay judgments. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Private Notes.

Secured Term Loan Facility

On February 26, 2014, we entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the amended secured term loan facility under our Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2013, with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "Secured Term Loan Facility").

The Amendment reduced the interest rate on the Secured Term Loan Facility, which had an outstanding principal balance of $450 million as of the closing date, from LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Amendment also extended the Secured Term Loan Facility's maturity date by one year to August 2017.

F-323

In accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, $447 million of debt exchanged with the same lenders met the criterion for and was accounted as a modification of debt. Existing unamortized deferred financing costs and discount attributable to the modification of the Secured Term Loan Facility of $9 million will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the Secured Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method, while fees paid to other third-party advisors of $1 million were expensed.

As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate on our Secured Term Loan Facility was 3.50% and the borrowing base coverage was 378%. The Secured Term Loan Facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, an event of default under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility, a cross default on an aggregate $50 million or more of certain other indebtedness, the breach of representations or covenants, bankruptcy events, the failure to conduct our asset management business through ACAM, a change in control and the failure to pay judgments. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Secured Term Loan Facility.

The following table sets forth the scheduled amortization on the secured term loans and unsecured private notes:

August 2016 |  | $4.5 million
Secured Term Loans due August 2017 |  | Outstanding Balance
Unsecured Private Notes due September 2018 |  | Outstanding Balance

$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On August 22, 2012, we obtained a four-year $250 million secured revolving credit facility (the "$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility"), which bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.75%. As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate on the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility was 4.19%.

On August 22, 2015, the commitments under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility terminated. As a result, the outstanding balance on the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility is repayable ratably over the final 12 months until the maturity date on August 22, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, the total debt outstanding under our $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility was $104 million. The $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, an event of default under the Secured Term Loan Facility, a cross default on an aggregate $50 million or more of certain other indebtedness, the breach of representations or covenants, bankruptcy events, the failure to conduct our asset management business through ACAM, a change in control and the failure to pay judgments. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility.

$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility

On June 27, 2014, ACAS Funding I, LLC, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, obtained a $750 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. On March 6, 2015, the commitments to the existing $750 million secured revolving credit facility were increased by $500 million to $1.25 billion (the "$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility"). In addition to the commitment increase, the maturity date of the facility was extended to March 6, 2017. On December 11, 2015, we amended certain covenants to permit ACAS Funding I, LLC to distribute back to us the remaining proceeds from its senior floating rate loan portfolio sales while settling any associated liabilities. In addition, commencing on December 27, 2015, the commitments are calculated

F-324

as the greater of total debt outstanding or $100 million. The facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the facility was in a wind down period during which we are prohibited from purchasing additional assets or borrowing under the facility. We can reinstate our ability to borrow and purchase assets at any time prior to February 6, 2017, subject to certain terms outlined in the credit agreement.

We are required to pay a fee on the unused commitments under the facility in an amount equal to 1.60% on the average daily unused amount of lender commitments up to 60% of the daily average of total commitments, and 0.75% on the lesser of 40% of the daily average total commitments and average daily unused amount. Under the amendment, the unused fee was reduced to 0.50% on the average daily unused amount. To the extent we reinstate our ability to borrow, the unused fees will increase to the rates paid prior to the amendment on the three month anniversary of our ability to borrow under the facility being reinstated. All fees are payable quarterly. The credit facility contains various events of default, including but not limited to those relating to the failure to make principal or interest payments on such debt, the breach of representations or covenants, credit triggers, the loss of key personnel, a change in investment manager, the occurrence of certain regulatory or criminal proceedings, bankruptcy events and the failure to pay judgments. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility.

$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2014, ACAS Funding II, LLC, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, obtained a $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the "$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility"), with Deutsche Bank AG. The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature in October 2016 and had an interest rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. On December 14, 2015, we amended certain covenants in the facility to permit ACAS Funding II, LLC to distribute back to us the remaining proceeds from its senior floating rate loan portfolio sales while settling any associated liabilities. On January 6, 2016, the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was repaid in full and terminated.

Note 6. Stock Options

We have stock option plans which provide for the granting of options to employees and non-employee directors to purchase shares of common stock at a price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the employee stock option plans vest over either a three or five year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under these plans may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options. As required by the 1940 Act, we are restricted from issuing awards to our employees and non-employee directors to the extent that the amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all such awards at the time of issuance exceeds 20% of our outstanding voting securities. As of March 31, 2016, there were 3.6 million shares available to be granted under the employee stock option plans and in accordance with the 1940 Act restrictions.

Our shareholders approved non-employee director stock option plans in 1998, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and we subsequently received orders from the SEC authorizing such plans. Stock options granted under the non-employee director stock option plans are non-qualified stock options that vest over a three year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2016, there were no shares available to be granted under the non-employee director stock option plans. No employee or non-employee director stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

F-325

During the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted stock options in excess of the individual employee limits established in certain of our stock option plans. These stock option grants were made during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012. As a result, the stock option grants in excess of the individual limits in any stock option plan have been considered null and void. The communication of the voided stock option grants to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the voided stock option grants in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the option vesting periods. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares of common stock from the Trust that had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.

As discussed in Note 9, due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business which resulted in workforce reductions of our employees. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and the employees were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, the acceleration of 0.6 million and 0.9 million, respectively, of unvested stock options was accounted for as a modification and resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2 million and $4 million, respectively, related to additional workforce reductions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded stock-based compensation expense attributable to our stock options of $5 million and $5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was recognized only for options expected to vest, using an estimated forfeiture rate based on historical experience.

Note 7. Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the "Deferred Plan") for the purpose of granting cash bonus awards to our employees. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is the administrator of the Deferred Plan. The Deferred Plan is funded through a trust (the "Trust") which is administered by a third-party trustee. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines cash bonus awards to be granted under the Deferred Plan and the terms of such awards, including vesting schedules. The cash bonus awards are invested by the Trust in our common stock by purchasing shares in the open market. Awards vest contingent on the employee's continued employment or the achievement of performance goals, if any, as determined by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Trust provides certain protections of its assets from events other than claims against our assets in the case of bankruptcy. The assets and liabilities of the Trust are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares of our common stock held by the Trust are accounted for as treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Deferred Plan does not permit diversification and the cash bonus awards must be settled by the delivery of a fixed number of shares of our common stock. The awards under the Deferred Plan are accounted for as grants of unvested stock. We record stock-based compensation expense based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for awards with service conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. The compensation cost for bonus awards with performance and service conditions is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. During the three months ended

F-326

March 31, 2016, there were no grants under the Deferred Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash bonus awards of $7 million were granted under the Deferred Plan.

As discussed in Note 6, during the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted $2.6 million of cash bonus awards in fiscal year 2007 in excess of the annual individual employee limit established in the Deferred Plan. As a result, the $2.6 million of cash bonus awards have been considered null and void. The communication of the $2.6 million of excess cash bonus awards to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the cash bonus awards in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the award vesting period. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares of common stock from the Trust that had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, attributable to the Deferred Plan.

Long Term Incentive Plan Liability

European Capital has issued restricted mandatorily redeemable preferred shares ("Redeemable Preferred Shares") to participating employees of subsidiary companies of its manager, European Capital Asset Management Limited ("ECAM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAM, under Long Term Incentive Plans (the "Plans") for an issue price determined at the time of issuance. The Plans have a 5-year vesting period. The Redeemable Preferred Shares are subdivided into subclasses of shares. The redemption value of each sub-class of Redeemable Preferred Shares is calculated using a predetermined formula and is based on the net liquidity proceeds, as defined in the Plans, on the exit of specifically referenced investments of European Capital in excess of certain hurdle rates. The Plans have annual calculation and redemption dates through December 31, 2018 and March 1, 2019, respectively, for sub-classes A, B and C and December 31, 2023 and March 1, 2024, respectively, for sub-classes D, E and F. Redeemable Preferred Shares related to specifically referenced investments not exited at the final annual calculation dates will be redeemed after the receipt of subsequent net liquidity proceeds or, if specifically referenced investments that remain outstanding on January 1, 2020 for sub-classes A, B and C and January 1, 2025 for sub-classes D, E and F, will be redeemed based on the realizable value of the remaining referenced investments. European Capital elected to recognize the Redeemable Preferred Shares at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments.

The holders of the Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to participate in or receive notice of any general meeting of European Capital and the shares are generally not transferable. The Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to receive dividends. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, a portion of the Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized losses of $12 million and $46 million, respectively, associated with the redemptions, which was fully offset by reversals of unrealized depreciation of $12 million and $46 million, respectively, which is included in net realized loss and net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is calculated using the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of the underlying European Capital investments with discounts applied for equity risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, minority interests, lack of marketability and a forfeiture rate. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $27 million and $34 million, respectively. The fair value of the underlying European Capital investments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $300 million and $367 million, respectively.

Note 8. Net Operating Income and Net (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net operating income and net (loss) earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Numerator for basic and diluted net operating income per common share |  | $ | 74 |  | $ | 50 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Numerator for basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per common share |  | $ | (80 | ) | $ | 15 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Denominator for basic weighted average common shares |  |  | 235.0 |  |  | 271.1 |
Employee stock options and awards |  |  | — |  |  | 11.8 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Denominator for diluted weighted average common shares |  |  | 235.0 |  |  | 282.9 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Basic net operating income per common share |  | $ | 0.31 |  | $ | 0.18 |
Diluted net operating income per common share |  | $ | 0.31 |  | $ | 0.18 |
Basic net (loss) earnings per common share |  | $ | (0.34 | ) | $ | 0.06 |
Diluted net (loss) earnings per common share |  | $ | (0.34 | ) | $ | 0.05 |

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of stock options, unvested employee stock awards and contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic EPS and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as we incurred a net loss for that period.

Stock options and unvested shares under our deferred compensation plan of 32.6 million and 6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS either because the respective exercise or grant prices are greater than the average market value of the underlying stock or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, as determined using the treasury stock method.

F-328

Note 9. Restructuring Costs

Due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in workforce reductions and the closing of two of our offices as well as the elimination of certain functions at other offices. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and they were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded charges for both severance and related employee costs of $8 million and $10 million, respectively, including $2 million and $4 million, respectively, from the modification of stock options related to additional workforce reductions. The severance and related employee costs and the additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from the modification are included in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation and the excess facilities costs are included in general and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations. The liability for employee severance costs and excess facilities is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

In determining our liability related to excess office facilities, we are required to estimate such factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and may result in revisions to the liability. Our remaining liability of $4 million as of March 31, 2016 related to these excess office facilities represents gross lease commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2023 of approximately $19 million, net of committed and estimated sublease income of approximately $14 million and a present value factor of $1 million. We have entered into signed sublease arrangements for approximately $2 million, with the remaining $12 million based on estimated future sublease income.

The following tables summarize the restructuring accrual activity during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

|  | Severance |  | Excess Office Facilities |  | Total |

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of $600 million to $1 billion of common stock through June 30, 2016 at prices per share below 85% of our most recent quarterly NAV per share, subject to certain conditions. We have entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to undertake accretive share repurchases on a non-discretionary basis up to the $1 billion limit.

In determining the quarterly amount, the Board of Directors will be guided by our net cash provided by operating activities in preceding quarters, our capital requirements, our cash position, operational issues, economic conditions and the current trading price of our common stock and other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased a total of 21.2 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $297 million at an average price of $13.96 per share.

The share repurchase program may be further suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares of our common stock.

Note 11. Income Taxes

As a taxable corporation under Subchapter C of the Code, we are subject to federal and applicable state corporate income taxes on our taxable ordinary income and capital gains. However, we estimate that for income tax purposes, we had both net operating loss carryforwards and net long-term capital loss carryforwards as of March 31, 2016. Our tax fiscal year ends on September 30.

We file a consolidated federal income tax return with eligible corporate subsidiaries, including portfolio companies in which we hold 80% or more of the outstanding equity interest measured by both vote and fair value. As a result, we have entered into a tax sharing agreement under which members of the consolidated tax group are compensated for losses and other tax benefits by members that are able to use those losses and tax benefits on their pro forma stand-alone federal income tax return.

As of March 31, 2016, our deferred tax asset was $785 million, our deferred tax liability was $218 million, our valuation allowance was $355 million and our net deferred tax asset was $212 million.

We estimate the expected tax character of recognition of the reversal of the timing differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as either ordinary or capital income. However, the ultimate tax character of the deferred tax asset or liability may change from our estimated classification based on the ultimate form of recognition of the timing difference. As of March 31, 2016, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will have future ordinary income to realize the majority of our ordinary deferred tax assets and therefore did not record a valuation allowance against these ordinary deferred tax assets except for a portion of our net operating losses ("NOL") generated in New York

F-330

City will expire unutilized. As of March 31, 2016, we have recorded a $12 million valuation allowance against a $13 million deferred tax asset related to $144 million of NOLs generated in New York City.

We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against a significant portion of our deferred tax assets. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize $16 million of our capital deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and we have established a partial valuation allowance of $167 million against certain capital deferred tax assets. We recognized a tax benefit of $16 million associated with the decrease in the valuation allowance against our capital deferred tax asset associated with unrealized losses on equity investments treated as capital for tax purposes during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

We continue to assess our ability to realize our existing capital deferred tax assets. We believe that due to the recent decision to solicit offers to acquire individual lines of business or the company in its entirety, certain investments that had previously been determined to be long-lived assets may provide a source of taxable income to realize certain capital deferred tax assets. Assessing the recoverability of a deferred tax asset requires management to make estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from investments and operations, the character of expected income or loss as either capital or ordinary, and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows or the amount or character of taxable income differ significantly from these estimates, our ability to realize the deferred tax assets could be impacted.

Effective January 1, 2016, we elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-09. The cumulative effect of the adoption was an increase to the beginning balance of shareholders' equity of $16 million due to the recognition of a deferred tax asset for excess tax benefits associated with the share based compensation that was unrecorded in previous tax years. The deferred tax asset is ordinary in nature and we believe that it is more likely than not that we will have future sufficient ordinary income to utilize the deferred tax asset. Therefore, we did not establish a valuation allowance against this portion of the ordinary deferred tax asset.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate and our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Tax on net (loss) earnings computed at federal statutory tax rate |  | $ | (27 | ) | $ | 27 |
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit |  |  | (4 | ) |  | 3 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | 49 |  |  | (21 | )
Dividends received deduction |  |  | (5 | ) |  | (2 | )
Earnings of European Capital |  |  | (9 | ) |  | 18 |
Capital gain on tax deconsolidation of subsidiary |  |  | — |  |  | 35 |
Other |  |  | (1 | ) |  | 1 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total provision for income taxes |  | $ | 3 |  | $ | 61 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. There has been no change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015. We do not reasonably expect any material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual agreements that facilitate transactions or provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of our obligations under such agreements. We have not had any claims nor made any payments pursuant to such agreements. We cannot estimate the maximum potential exposure under these arrangements as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that have not yet occurred. However, based on our experience, we expect the risk of any material loss to us to be remote.

We are a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Loan and Financing Agreements

As of March 31, 2016, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $189 million to 23 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and availability under borrowing base thresholds. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2016, European Capital and its affiliates had commitments of $59 million to fund European Capital UK SME Debt LP and $90 million to fund European Capital Private Debt LP ("ECAS Private Debt"). In addition, as of March 31, 2016, ACAM had a commitment of $111 million to American Capital Equity III, LP, which is expected to be funded by an equity investment from American Capital. See Note 14 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of ACAM's American Capital Equity III, LP's commitment.

Note 13. Significant Subsidiaries

We have determined that for the three months ended March 31, 2016, certain of our unconsolidated portfolio companies have met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, aggregate summarized income statement information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 has been included as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2016 |  | 2015 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 269 |  | $ | 268 |
Total operating expenses |  | $ | 255 |  | $ | 232 |
Net operating income |  | $ | 14 |  | $ | 36 |
Net (loss) income |  | $ | (10 | ) | $ | 26 |

Note 14. Asset Sales

ECAS Private Debt is a private debt fund that closed during the second quarter of 2015 with €318 million of capital commitments, of which €165 million was committed by European Capital and its affiliates. The ECAS Private Debt fund provides debt financing to mid-market companies in Europe, primarily through unitranche, second lien and mezzanine financing, with secondary purchases of senior loans on an opportunistic basis. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the ECAS Private Debt fund had an

F-332

additional closing of €69 million which increased the total capital commitments to €387 million. Upon its final closing in April 2016, the ECAS Private Debt fund raised an additional €86 million which increased the investment capacity of the fund to €473 million. The fund will have a three year investment period and a subsidiary of ACAM manages the ECAS Private Debt fund for an annual management fee of 1.50% on deployed capital and up to a 15% carried interest, subject to certain hurdles. The ECAS Private Debt fund will be dissolved on March 19, 2025, unless extended. In April 2015, European Capital sold €162 million ($175 million) of investments at their approximate fair value in 9 portfolio companies to the ECAS Private Debt fund. European Capital received €158 million ($170 million) for the sale of these assets and recognized a realized loss of €4 million ($5 million). As of March 31, 2016, European Capital's investment in the ECAS Private Debt fund had a cost basis and fair value of $97 million and $102 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, European Capital had an unfunded commitment of €79 million ($90 million) to the ECAS Private Debt fund.

On April 28, 2014, we completed a $1.1 billion private placement of partnership interests in American Capital Equity III, LP ("ACE III" or "the Fund"), a new private equity fund focused on investing in U.S. companies in the lower middle market. Concurrent with the private placement, we entered into a Contribution and Redemption Agreement with the Fund pursuant to which we agreed to contribute 100% of our equity and equity-related investments in seven portfolio companies to the Fund and to provide the Fund with an option to acquire our equity investment in WRH, Inc. (the "Equity Option"), in exchange for partnership interests in the Fund. Collectively, the eight portfolio companies (including WRH, Inc., assuming the Equity Option is exercised) comprise the Secondary Portfolio for ACE III. On April 1, 2015, the Equity Option was exercised by the Fund for the exercise price of $24 million. The Fund's aggregate $1.1 billion capital commitment includes a commitment of $200 million from ACAM for Primary Investments, of which $111 million was undrawn as of March 31, 2016.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

As a BDC, we are required by law to make available significant managerial assistance to our eligible portfolio companies. Such assistance typically involves providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations and business objectives and policies of the portfolio company to its management and board of directors, including participating on the company's board of directors. As of March 31, 2016, we had board seats on 33 companies in our investment portfolio. Providing assistance to the companies in our investment portfolio serves as an opportunity for us to maximize their value.

The following table shows the operating revenue from our control investments, as defined under the 1940 Act for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |

American Capital Asset Management

Our fund management business is conducted through ACAM. In general, ACAM provides investment management services through consolidated subsidiaries that enter into management agreements with each of its managed funds. In addition, American Capital or ACAM may invest directly into these funds and earn investment income from its investments in those funds. Under the

F-333

management agreements, ACAM's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, sourcing, analyzing and executing investments and asset sales, delivering financial and compliance reports to investors in the funds under management, administering the daily business and affairs of the funds under management and performing other asset management duties. We have entered into service agreements with ACAM to provide it with additional asset management and administrative services support. Through these agreements, we provide investment advisory and oversight services to ACAM, as well as access to our employees, infrastructure, business relationships, management expertise and capital raising capabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized operating revenues from our investment in ACAM of $34 million and $33 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we received an additional $1 million and $3 million, respectively, of dividends from ACAM, which were recorded as a reduction to the cost basis of our investment in ACAM.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we transferred to ACAM 100% of our equity investments in ACEI Singapore Holdings Private LTD, BMR Energy LLC, Hollyhock Limited and Taiba Wind Energy, LLC. The cost basis and fair value of these transferred investments as of December 31, 2015 was $77 million and $94 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, the cost basis and fair value of these transferred investments was $83 million and $85 million, respectively.

European Capital

As discussed in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements, we consolidated our investment in European Capital effective October 1, 2014. ACAM, through its subsidiary, ECAM, acts as the investment manager to European Capital. Under ACAM's investment management agreement with European Capital, ACAM is entitled to receive an annual management fee of 2% of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all the investments at fair value of European Capital, an incentive fee equal to 100% of the net earnings in excess of a return of 8% but less than a return of 10%, and 20% of the net earnings thereafter. The investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to waive the incentive fee for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to cancel the incentive fee for 2015 and going forward. The management fee charged by ACAM for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2 million and $4 million, respectively.

As discussed in Note 7 to these consolidated financial statements, European Capital has issued Redeemable Preferred Shares to employees of ECAM as part of long-term employee incentive plans. These shares are redeemable by European Capital based on the aggregate returns on investments made after January 1, 2012 and are treated as mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $27 million and $34 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, a portion of the Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized losses of $12 million and $46 million, respectively, associated with the redemptions, which was fully offset by reversals of unrealized depreciation of $12 million and $46 million, respectively, which is included in net realized loss and net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

American Capital Equity I, LLC and American Capital Equity II, LP

On June 30, 2015, we entered into stock purchase agreements with American Capital Equity I, LLC and American Capital Equity II, LP under which we acquired secondary and add-on investments in 24 portfolio companies for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million. The initial purchase price for such investments was based on the fair value of the investments as of March 31, 2015, but is potentially subject to increase on June 30, 2016 as a result of certain post-closing adjustments. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded $22 million of net unrealized depreciation after our acquisition of these investments, which is included in net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 30. INDEMNIFICATION

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final adjudication as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors' and officers' liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, to obligate us to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the Investment Company Act, to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her service in that capacity and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The charter and bylaws also permit us to, with the approval of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of us in any of the capacities described above and any of our employees or agents or any employees or agents of our predecessor. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, we will not indemnify any person for any liability to which such person would be subject by reason of such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. In addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws, we have

C-11

entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and certain of our officers and with members of our investment adviser's investment committee and we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our future directors, members of our investment adviser's investment committee and certain of our officers. The indemnification agreements provide these directors and senior officers the maximum indemnification permitted under Maryland law and the Investment Company Act. The agreements provide, among other things, for the advancement of expenses and indemnification for liabilities which such person may incur by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer or member of our investment adviser's investment committee in any action or proceeding arising out of the performance of such person's services as a present or former director or officer or member of our investment adviser's investment committee.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

The investment advisory and management agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, our investment adviser Ares Capital Management and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entities affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of our investment adviser's services under the investment advisory and management agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company.

The administration agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, Ares Operations and its officers, manager, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entities affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of Ares Operations' services under the administration agreement or otherwise as administrator for the Company.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in

C-12

connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 31. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

A description of any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature in which Ares Capital Management, and each partner, director or executive officer of Ares Capital Management, is or has been, during the past two fiscal years, engaged in for his or her own account or in the capacity of director, officer, employee, partner or trustee, is set forth in Part A of this Registration Statement in the sections entitled "Management."

The Registrant undertakes:

(1)
  to suspend the offering of shares until the prospectus is amended if (a) subsequent to the effective date of its registration statement, the net asset value declines more than ten percent from its net asset value as of the effective date of the registration statement or (b) the net asset value increases to an amount greater than the net proceeds as stated in the prospectus.
(2)
  if the securities being registered are to be offered to existing stockholders pursuant to warrants or rights, and any securities not taken by stockholders are to be reoffered to the public, to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters of the securities being registered is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, the Registrant shall undertake to file a post-effective amendment to set forth the terms of such offering;

C-13

(3)
  to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  (a)
    to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

  (c)
    to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(4)
  that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(5)
  to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(6)
  that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 497(b), (c), (d) or (e) under the Securities Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A under the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness, provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supercede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;
(7)
  that for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser:
  (a)
    any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act;
  (b)
    the portion of any advertisement pursuant to Rule 482 under the Securities Act relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
  (c)
    any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser;
(8)
  to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, and to suspend any offers or sales pursuant the registration statement until such post-effective amendment has been

C-14

declared effective under the 1933 Act, in the event its shares of common stock are trading below its net asset value per share and either (a) the Registrant receives, or has been advised by its independent registered accounting firm that it will receive, an audit report reflecting substantial doubt regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern or (b) the Registrant has concluded that a fundamental change has occurred in its financial position or results of operations; and

(9)
