<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Dear
Stockholder: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are cordially invited to attend a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") of Ares Capital Corporation (the "Company") to be held on June&nbsp;10, 2019 at

 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
attached Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement describe the formal business to be transacted at the Special Meeting. At the meeting, you will be asked to approve a proposal
to authorize the Company, with the approval of its board of directors, to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock at a price below its then current net asset value per share subject to
certain limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, that the number of shares issued does not exceed 25% of its then outstanding common stock). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your
vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. We urge you to fill out, sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card or authorize your proxy by telephone or through
the Internet as soon as possible even if you currently plan to attend the Special Meeting. This will not prevent you from voting in person but will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable
to attend the meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
will also receive separate proxy materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held at the same place and on the same date stated above, but not at the same time.
Please be certain to sign, date and return each proxy card that you receive from us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
behalf of your board of directors, thank you for your continued interest and support. </FONT></P>

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;">


<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement is being solicited by the board of directors (the "Board") of Ares Capital Corporation, a Maryland
corporation (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), for use at the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to be held on June&nbsp;10, 2019 at 3:00&nbsp;p.m., Atlanta Time,
at InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, 3315&nbsp;Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia&nbsp;30326, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement, the
Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders and the accompanying proxy card are first being released to the Company's stockholders on or about April&nbsp;10, 2019.

</P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting in person at the Special Meeting or by granting a proxy (i.e.,&nbsp;authorizing someone to vote your shares). If you properly
authorize your proxy and the Company receives it in time for the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares registered directly in your name in the manner that you specify. </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>If no specification is made,
the votes entitled to be cast by you will be cast FOR the proposal to authorize the Company, with the approval of the Board, to sell or otherwise
issue shares of its common stock at a price below its then current net asset value per share subject to certain limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, that the number of shares
issued does not exceed 25% of its then outstanding common stock).</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
stockholder "of record" (i.e.,&nbsp;stockholders holding shares directly in their name) giving a valid proxy for the Special Meeting may revoke it before it is exercised by giving
a later-dated properly executed proxy, by giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing before or at the Special Meeting or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. However, the
mere presence of the stockholder at the Special Meeting does not revoke the proxy. If your shares are held for your account by a broker, bank or other institution or nominee, you may vote such shares
at the Special Meeting only if you obtain proper written authority from your broker, bank or other institution or nominee and present it at the meeting. If your shares are held for your account by a
broker, bank or other institution or nominee, to revoke any voting instructions prior to the time the vote is taken at the Special Meeting, you must contact such broker, bank or other institution or
nominee to determine how to revoke your vote in accordance with its policies&nbsp;a sufficient time in advance of the Special Meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
revoked as stated above, the shares of common stock represented by valid proxies will be voted on all matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is the close of business on April&nbsp;8, 2019. As of April&nbsp;8, 2019, there were
426,298,000 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock has one vote. If your shares are held for your account by a broker, bank or other institution or nominee, your
broker, bank or other institution or nominee will not vote your shares unless you provide instructions to your broker, bank or other institution or nominee on how to vote your shares. You should
instruct your broker, bank or other institution or nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other institution or nominee. The presence, in
person or by proxy, of the holders of shares of common stock of the Company entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of the Special
Meeting. If there are not sufficient votes for a

by the Company.

 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Abstentions
and broker non-votes will be deemed to be present for the purpose of determining a quorum for the Special Meeting. However, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted
as votes cast. A "broker non-vote" with respect to a matter occurs when a broker, bank or other institution or nominee holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner has not received voting
instructions from the beneficial owner on a particular proposal and does not have, or chooses not to exercise, discretionary authority to vote the shares on such proposals. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company does not expect many, if any, broker non-votes at the Special Meeting because there are no routine proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
may vote "For" or "Against," or abstain from voting on, Proposal 1 (to authorize the Company, with the approval of the Board, to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock at
a price below its then current net asset value per share subject to certain limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, that the number of shares issued does not exceed 25% of its
then outstanding common stock)). The affirmative vote of holders of at least a "majority," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), of
(1)&nbsp;the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and (2)&nbsp;the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by persons that are not affiliated persons of the Company, is
required to approve Proposal&nbsp;1. Under the Investment Company Act, the vote of holders of a "majority" means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a)&nbsp;67% or more of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Company's common stock are present or represented by
proxy or (b)&nbsp;more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote "Against" Proposal&nbsp;1. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies in the form accompanying this statement. Proxies will be solicited by mail or by requesting brokers and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares of common stock held of record by such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, each of whom the
Company will reimburse for its expenses in so doing. In addition to the use of mail, directors, officers and regular employees of Ares Capital Management&nbsp;LLC, the Company's investment adviser
("Ares Capital Management" or the "investment adviser"), or Ares Operations&nbsp;LLC, the Company's administrator ("Ares Operations" or the "administrator"), without special compensation therefor,
may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, electronic mail, facsimile or other electronic means from stockholders. The address of each of Ares Capital Management and Ares Operations is 2000
Avenue of the Stars, 12th&nbsp;Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has engaged the services of D.F. King&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Inc. ("D.F. King") for the purpose of assisting in the solicitation of proxies at an anticipated cost of
approximately $7,500, plus reimbursement of certain expenses and fees for additional services requested. Please note that D.F.&nbsp;King may solicit stockholder proxies by telephone on behalf of the
Company. They will not attempt to influence how you vote your shares, but only ask that you take the time to authorize your proxy. You may also be asked if you would like to authorize your proxy over
the telephone and to have your voting instructions transmitted to the Company's proxy tabulation firm.

PROPOSAL 1: AUTHORIZATION OF THE COMPANY TO SELL OR OTHERWISE ISSUE SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK AT A PRICE
BELOW ITS THEN CURRENT NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PROPOSAL  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment
Company Act. As a BDC, the Company is generally prohibited from issuing its common stock at a price below the then current net asset value per share ("NAV") unless it meets certain conditions,
including obtaining stockholder approval. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result, the Company is seeking the approval of its common stockholders so that it may, in one or more public or private offerings of its common stock, sell or otherwise issue shares
of its common stock, not exceeding 25% of its then outstanding common stock, at a price below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth in this proposal. If approved, the authorization would be
effective for common stock issued during a twelve-month period expiring on the anniversary of the date of this Special Meeting. The Company has sought and received stockholder approval for similar
proposals for each of the last 10&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Board, including a majority of the directors who have no financial interest in this proposal and a majority of the independent directors, has approved this proposal as in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends it to the stockholders for their approval. For these purposes, directors will not be deemed to have a financial interest solely by reason
of their ownership
of the Company's common stock. The Board believes that having the flexibility for the Company to sell its common stock below NAV in certain instances is in the Company's best interests and the best
interests of its stockholders. This would, among other things, provide access to the capital markets to pursue attractive investment opportunities during periods of volatility and improve capital
resources to enable the Company to compete more effectively for high quality investment opportunities (which may include acquisitions of other companies or investment portfolios) and to add financial
flexibility to comply with regulatory requirements and debt facility covenants, including the applicable debt to equity ratio. Upon obtaining the requisite stockholder approval, the Company will
comply with the conditions described below in connection with any offering undertaken pursuant to this proposal. See below for a discussion of the risks of dilution. </FONT></P>

Market Conditions Have Created, and May in the Future Create, Attractive Investment and Acquisition
Opportunities  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. As a result of the disruption and volatility in the credit markets during this time, the Company saw a reduction in capital available to certain specialty finance
companies and other capital providers, causing a reduction in competition. These conditions also coincided with lower stock prices for BDCs, with BDCs trading below NAV. The Company believes that
favorable investment opportunities to invest at attractive risk-adjusted returns, including opportunities to make acquisitions of other companies or investment portfolios at attractive values, may be
created during these periods of disruption and volatility. For example, the Company completed its acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation during a period of disruption and volatility, which was
accretive to the Company as described in further detail below. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. In particular, the
Company has seen periods during the last few years where BDCs, including the Company, have traded below NAV due to such stock market volatility. While the Company's shares of common stock are
currently trading above NAV, there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so and there can be no assurance that these adverse market conditions will not repeat themselves or worsen in the
future. If adverse market conditions re-occur or increase in severity and duration, the Company and other companies in the financial services sector may not have access to sufficient debt and equity
capital in order to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities, including opportunities to make acquisitions of other companies or investment portfolios, that are created during these
periods. In addition, the debt capital that will be available, if any, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions in the future. Stockholder approval of the proposal to sell
shares of the Company's common stock below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth in this proposal, would provide the Company with the flexibility to invest in such attractive investment
opportunities, which typically need to be made expeditiously.

Status as a BDC and RIC and Maintaining a Favorable Debt to Equity Ratio  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a BDC and a regulated investment company ("RIC") for tax purposes, the Company is limited in its ability to increase its capital through
retained earnings. RICs generally must distribute substantially all of their earnings to stockholders as dividends in order to achieve pass-through tax treatment, which prevents the Company from
retaining meaningful amounts of earnings to support operations, which may include making new investments (including investments into existing portfolio companies). Further, BDCs must meet a debt to
equity ratio of less than approximately 1:1 (or 2:1 if certain conditions are satisfied) in order to incur debt or issue senior securities, which requires the Company to finance its investments with
at least as much equity as debt and senior securities in the aggregate. Effective on June&nbsp;21, 2019 (unless we receive earlier stockholder approval), the Company's debt to equity ratio will
increase from a maximum of 1:1 to a maximum of 2:1. In addition, certain of the Company's debt facilities also require that it maintain the applicable debt to equity ratio. Therefore, to continue to
increase and maintain the Company's investment portfolio, the Company endeavors to maintain consistent access to capital through the public and private debt markets and the public equity markets
enabling it to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exceeding
the applicable debt to equity ratio could have severe negative consequences for a BDC, including the inability to pay dividends, breach of debt covenants and failure to qualify
for tax treatment as a RIC. Although the Company does not currently expect that it will exceed the applicable debt to equity ratio, the markets it operates in and the general economy may be volatile
and uncertain. Even though the underlying performance of a particular portfolio company may not indicate an impairment or its inability to repay all principal and interest in full, volatility in the
capital markets may negatively impact the valuations of investments and create unrealized losses on certain investments. Any such write-downs in value, as well as unrealized losses based on the
underlying performance of the Company's portfolio companies, if any, will negatively impact stockholders' equity and the resulting debt to equity ratio. Issuing additional equity would allow the
Company to realign its debt to equity
ratio and avoid these negative consequences. In addition to meeting legal requirements applicable to BDCs, having a more favorable debt to equity ratio would also generally strengthen the Company's
balance sheet, potentially improve access to the debt markets and give it more flexibility to fully execute its business strategy. </FONT></P>

ARCC's History of Raising Equity Capital While Having Stockholder Approval to Issue Shares of Common
Stock Under NAV  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has received annual stockholder approval to issue shares of its common stock under NAV on terms similar to what is being requested
herein for each of the last 10&nbsp;years (the "Annual Under NAV Approval"), and despite the Company trading below NAV for periods during such time frame, including for most of 2018, it has only
used the flexibility specifically provided by the Annual Under NAV Approval one time (the Company's acquisitions have required separate stockholder approvals). In 2009, during a period of significant
credit market volatility when credit spreads increased materially, the Company, acting pursuant to the Annual Under NAV Approval, prudently issued shares of its common stock at a price below NAV and
invested the proceeds from such issuance at attractive returns to stockholders. These proceeds were also used to create liquidity and financial flexibility in an uncertain time of extreme volatility.
While such issuance was at a price below NAV, it resulted in less than a 2.5% dilution in the aggregate net asset value of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes that this financial
flexibility was a key component of the Company's ability to opportunistically acquire Allied Capital Corporation, which transaction was agreed to on October&nbsp;26, 2009 and closed on
April&nbsp;1, 2010 (the "Allied Acquisition"). The Company's NAV increased during the one-year period following the date of the Company's most recently determined NAV prior to such issuance,
increasing from $11.21 (as of June&nbsp;30, 2009) to $14.11 (as of June&nbsp;30, 2010). The increase in the Company's NAV from June&nbsp;30, 2009 to June&nbsp;30, 2010 includes a $1.11 per
share increase related to the gain on the Allied Acquisition. Furthermore, for the one-year period following the date of such issuance, the Company's total stockholder return outperformed that of
every other BDC with a market capitalization of greater than $500&nbsp;million. Therefore, periods of market volatility and dislocation have created, and may create again, favorable opportunities
for the Company to make investments at attractive risk-adjusted returns, including opportunities that may increase NAV over the longer term, even if financed with the issuance of common stock below
NAV. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
offerings of common stock since the below NAV issuance in 2009 have been at prices above NAV (other than the issuance of shares in connection with the Company's acquisition of
American Capital,&nbsp;Ltd. on January&nbsp;3, 2017, which issuance was made pursuant to separate stockholder approval). </FONT></P>

Summary  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board believes that having the flexibility to issue common stock below NAV in certain instances is in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders. This would, among other things, provide access to capital markets to pursue attractive investment and acquisition opportunities during periods of volatility, improve capital
resources to enable the Company to compete more effectively for high quality investment opportunities and add financial flexibility to comply with regulatory requirements and debt facility covenants,
including the applicable debt to equity ratio. It could also minimize the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell assets that the Company would not otherwise sell, which sales could
occur at times and at prices that are disadvantageous to the Company and its stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the Company has no immediate plans to issue any shares of its common stock below NAV, it is seeking stockholder approval now in order to provide flexibility if it desires in the
future to issue shares of its common stock below NAV, which typically must be undertaken quickly. The final terms of any such sale will be determined by the Board at the time of issuance and the
shares of common stock will not include preemptive rights. Also, because the Company has no immediate plans to issue any shares of its common stock below NAV, it is not possible to describe the
transaction or transactions in which such shares of common stock would be issued. Instead, any transaction in which the Company issues such shares of common stock, including the nature and amount of
consideration that would be received by the Company at the time of issuance and the use of any such consideration, will be reviewed and approved by the Board at the time of issuance. If this proposal
is approved, no further </FONT></P>

Examples of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following three headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples on the impact of a public offering of the
Company's common stock at a price less than NAV on three different types of investors:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A

Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in the Offering  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's existing stockholders who do not participate in an offering below NAV or who do not buy additional shares in the secondary market
at the same or lower price as the Company obtains in the offering (after expenses and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. These stockholders will experience an immediate dilution in the
net asset value of the shares of common stock they hold. These stockholders will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in the Company's earnings and assets and
their voting power than the increase the Company will experience in its assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These stockholders may also experience a decline in
the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and
level of discounts increases. Further, if current stockholders do not purchase any shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below NAV, their voting
power will be diluted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following chart illustrates the level of NAV dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in three different hypothetical offerings of different sizes and
levels of discount from NAV. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
examples assume that the issuer has 30&nbsp;million shares outstanding, $600&nbsp;million in total assets and $150&nbsp;million in total liabilities. The current net asset
value and NAV per share are thus $450&nbsp;million and $15.00. The chart illustrates the dilutive effect on Stockholder A of (a)&nbsp;an offering of 1.5&nbsp;million shares of common stock (5%
of the outstanding shares) at $14.25 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV), (b)&nbsp;an offering of 3&nbsp;million shares of common stock (10% of the
outstanding shares) at $13.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV), (c)&nbsp;an offering of 6&nbsp;million shares of common stock (20% of the outstanding
shares) at $12.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 20% discount from NAV) and (d)&nbsp;an offering of 7.5&nbsp;million shares of common stock (25% of the outstanding shares) at
$11.25 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV). The prospectus pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart based on the actual number of

Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Participate in the Offering  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's existing stockholders who participate in an offering below NAV or who buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or
lower price as the Company obtains in the offering (after expenses and commissions) will experience the same types of NAV dilution as the nonparticipating stockholders, although at a lower level, to
the extent they purchase less than the same percentage of the discounted offering as their interest in shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the offering. The level of NAV dilution
will decrease as the number of shares such stockholders purchase increases. Existing stockholders who buy more than such percentage will experience NAV dilution but will, in contrast to existing
stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering, experience accretion in NAV over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater
increase in their participation in the Company's earnings and assets and their voting power than the Company's increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering.
The level of accretion will increase as the excess number of shares such stockholder purchases increases. Even a stockholder who over-participates will, however, be subject to the risk that the
Company may make additional discounted offerings in which such stockholder does not participate, in which case such a stockholder will experience NAV dilution as described above in such subsequent
offerings. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV. This
decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following chart illustrates the level of dilution and accretion in the hypothetical 20% discount offering from the prior chart (Example 3)&nbsp;for a stockholder that acquires
shares equal to (a)&nbsp;50% of its proportionate share of the offering (i.e.,&nbsp;3,000 shares, which is 0.05% of an offering of 6&nbsp;million shares) rather than its 0.10% proportionate
share and (b)&nbsp;150% of such percentage (i.e.,&nbsp;9,000 shares, which is 0.15% of an offering of 6&nbsp;million shares rather than its 0.10% proportionate share). The prospectus pursuant to
which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering and the actual discount from the most recently determined NAV. It is
not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. </FONT></P>

Impact on New Investors  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in an offering of shares of the Company's common stock below NAV, but whose
investment per share is greater than the resulting NAV due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company, will experience an immediate decrease, although small, in the net asset value of
their shares and their NAV compared to the price they pay for their shares. Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in an offering of shares of the Company's common stock
below NAV and whose investment per share is also less than the resulting NAV due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company being significantly less than the discount per share, will
experience an immediate increase in the net asset value of their shares and their NAV compared to the price they pay for their shares. These investors will experience a disproportionately greater
participation in the Company's earnings and assets and their voting power than the Company's increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These investors
will, however, be subject to the risk that the Company may make additional discounted offerings in which such new stockholder does not participate, in which case such new stockholder will experience
dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These investors may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential
increases and decreases in NAV. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following chart illustrates the level of dilution or accretion for new investors that would be experienced by a new investor in the same hypothetical 5%, 10%, 20% and 25% discounted
offerings as described in the first chart above. The illustration is for a new investor who purchases the same percentage (0.10%) of the shares in the offering as Stockholder A in the prior examples
held immediately prior to the offering. The prospectus pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering
and the actual discount from the most recently determined NAV. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes
only. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to the time of issuance, the Board may determine to issue shares of the Company's common stock below NAV in a registered public offering or in a private placement either with or

to use an underwriter or placement agent to assist in selling such shares of common stock if it concludes that doing so would assist in marketing such shares of common stock on favorable terms. </FONT></P>

Key Stockholder Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Before voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, stockholders should consider the potentially dilutive effect of the
issuance of shares of the Company's common stock at a price that is less than NAV and the expenses associated with such issuance. Any sale of common stock at a price below NAV would result in an
immediate dilution to existing common stockholders who do not participate in such sale on at least a pro rata basis. This dilution would include reduction in NAV as a result of the issuance of shares
at a price below NAV and a proportionately greater decrease in a stockholder's interest in the earnings and assets of the Company and voting interest in the Company than the increase in the assets of
the Company resulting from such issuance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Investment Company Act establishes a connection between common stock sale price and NAV because, when common stock is sold or otherwise issued at a sale price below NAV, the
resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. The Board will consider the potential dilutive effect of the
issuance of shares of common stock at a price below NAV when considering whether to authorize any such issuance pursuant to the stockholder approval being sought here. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stockholders
should also consider that they will have no subscription, preferential or preemptive rights to additional shares of the common stock proposed to be authorized for issuance
pursuant to this proposal, and thus any future issuance of common stock at a price below NAV will dilute such stockholders' holdings of common stock as a percentage of shares outstanding to the extent
such stockholders do not purchase sufficient shares of common stock in the offering or otherwise to maintain their percentage interest. Further, if current stockholders of the Company do not purchase
any shares of common stock to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below the then current NAV, their voting power will be diluted. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
discussed above, it should be noted that the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable below NAV that could result in such dilution is limited to 25% of the Company's then
outstanding common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
affirmative vote of holders of at least a "majority," as defined in the Investment Company Act, of (1)&nbsp;the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and (2)&nbsp;the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by persons that are not affiliated persons of the Company, is required to approve this proposal. Under the Investment Company Act, the vote of
holders of a "majority"
means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a)&nbsp;67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting if the holders of
more than 50% of the shares of the Company's common stock are present or represented by proxy or (b)&nbsp;more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Abstentions and
broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g.,&nbsp;brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy
statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process,
which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
year a number of brokers with account holders who are the Company's stockholders will be "householding" the Company's proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to
multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that it will be "householding"
communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of these documents to you upon
written or oral request to our Investor Relations Department at Ares Capital Corporation, 245 Park Avenue, 44<SUP>th</SUP>&nbsp;Floor, New York, New York 10167 or 888-818-5298. If, at any time,
you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple
copies of the proxy statement and annual report at their addresses and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their brokers. </FONT></P>
