<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>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 in One or More Offerings, in Each Case Subject to the Approval of its Board of Directors and Subject to the Conditions Set Forth in this Proposal </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business
development company (&#8220;BDC&#8221;) under the 1940 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 (&#8220;NAV&#8221;) unless it meets certain
conditions, including obtaining stockholder approval. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 at a price below its then-current NAV, subject to the approval of the Board and the conditions set forth in this proposal,
including that the number of shares issued does not exceed 25% of its then-outstanding common stock immediately prior to such offering. If approved, the authorization would be effective for securities issued during a twelve-month period expiring on
the anniversary of the date of this Special Meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 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 2:1 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio that is imposed through the 150% asset coverage requirement applicable to the Company under the 1940 Act. It could also minimize the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell
assets that the Company would not otherwise sell in order to comply with regulatory requirements and debt facility covenants, which sales could occur at times and at prices that are disadvantageous to the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 in circumstances where the Company must act 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. <B>There will be no limit on the percentage below net asset value per share at which shares may be sold by the Company or number

Company&#8217;s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders. The Board believes 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 2:1 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio that is imposed through the 150% asset coverage requirement applicable to the
Company under the 1940 Act. In reaching that conclusion, the Board considered the following potential benefits to the Company&#8217;s stockholders: </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, monetary policies of the Federal Reserve
and political uncertainty resulting from recent events, including changes to U.S. trade policies, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and related responses, has led to, from time to time, disruption and

resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. As a result of the disruption and volatility in the credit markets, there may be a reduction in capital available to certain specialty
finance companies and other capital providers, causing a reduction in competition. These conditions may coincide with lower stock prices for BDCs, resulting in 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There have been continuing periods of volatility, some lasting longer and with a greater degree of magnitude than others, including recent
market conditions, including those driven by the impact of changes to U.S. trade policies and the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. In addition to the recent environment, the Company has seen periods during the
last few years where BDCs, including the Company, have traded below NAV due to such market volatility. If adverse market conditions increase in severity and duration or recur, the Company and other companies in the financial services sector may not
have access to sufficient debt capital in order to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities 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&#8217;s common stock below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth in this proposal, would provide the Company with the flexibility to
raise equity capital to invest in such attractive investment opportunities, which typically need to be made expeditiously. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Greater
Investment Opportunities Due to Larger Capital Resources </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The additional capital raised through an offering of the Company&#8217;s
common stock may help the Company generate additional investment opportunities. With more capital to make investments, the Company could be a more meaningful capital provider and such additional capital would allow it to compete more effectively for
high-quality investment opportunities. Such investment opportunities may be funded with proceeds of an offering of shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Company issues additional shares, its market capitalization and the amount of its publicly tradable common stock may increase, which may
afford all holders of its common stock greater liquidity. A larger market capitalization may make the Company&#8217;s stock more attractive to a larger number of investors who have limitations of the size of companies in which they invest.
Furthermore, a larger number of shares outstanding may increase the Company&#8217;s trading volume, which could decrease the volatility in the secondary market price of its common stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A larger and more diversified portfolio could provide the Company with more consistent cash flow, which may support the maintenance and growth
of its dividend. The Company generally distributes dividends to its stockholders quarterly. From the earnings generated during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2025, the Company declared total dividends of $[&#9679;] per share of its common stock
(including a fourth quarter supplemental dividend of $[&#9679;] declared in the first quarter of 2026). Although the Company will continue to seek to generate income sufficient to pay dividends in the future, the proceeds of future offerings, and
the investments thereof, could enable the Company to maintain and possibly grow its dividends, which may include a return of capital. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An offering that increases the Company&#8217;s total assets may reduce its overall expenses per share due to the spreading of fixed expenses
over a larger asset base. The Company must bear certain fixed expenses, such as certain administrative, governance and compliance costs that do not generally vary based on its size. On a per share basis, these fixed expenses will be reduced when
supported by a larger asset base. </P>

tax purposes, the Company is dependent on its ability to raise capital through the issuance of its common stock. 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 any meaningful amount of earnings to support operations, which may include making new investments (including investments into existing portfolio companies). Further, BDCs that have adopted the
lower asset coverage requirement of 150% must meet a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio of less than 2:1 in order to incur debt or issue senior securities. In addition, the terms of
the Company&#8217;s credit facilities also require that it maintain a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio of less than 2:1 in accordance with the 150% asset coverage requirement.
Therefore, to continue to build the Company&#8217;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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Exceeding the 2:1
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio could have severe negative consequences for the Company, 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 this 2:1 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> 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&#8217;s portfolio companies, if any,
will negatively impact stockholders&#8217; equity and the resulting <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio. Issuing additional equity would allow the Company to realign its <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">debt-to-equity</FONT></FONT> ratio and avoid these negative consequences. In addition to meeting legal requirements applicable to BDCs, having a more favorable <FONT

because, when 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 at a price below NAV, including possible measures to avoid or reduce the potential dilutive effect on existing stockholders, such as conducting a rights offering, when considering whether to
authorize any such issuance pursuant to the stockholder approval being sought here. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While the Board will consider anti-dilutive measures,
stockholders should also consider that they currently 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&#8217; holdings of common stock as a percentage of shares outstanding to the extent such stockholders do not purchase sufficient shares in the offering or otherwise to maintain their
percentage interest. Further, if current stockholders of the Company do not purchase any shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below the then-current NAV, their voting power will be diluted.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed above, it should be noted that the maximum number of shares issuable below NAV that could result in such dilution is limited
to a number of shares that does not exceed 25% of the Company&#8217;s then-outstanding common stock, immediately prior to each such offering. As a result, the maximum amount of dilution to existing stockholders will be limited to no more than 20% of
the Company&#8217;s then-current NAV per each offering, assuming the Company were to issue the maximum number of shares at no more than par value, or $0.01 per share. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following two headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples on the impact of a public offering of the
Company&#8217;s common stock at a price less than NAV on two different types of investors: existing stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the offering; and existing stockholders who purchase a relatively small amount of shares in the
offering or a relatively large amount of shares in the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A placement of common stock at a price less than NAV to a third party in
a private placement would have an impact substantially similar to the impact on existing stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the public offering described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in the Offering </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#8217;s existing stockholders who do not participate in an offering below NAV per share 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 decrease in the NAV of the shares they hold and
their NAV per share. These stockholders will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in the Company&#8217;s earnings and assets and their voting power than the increase the Company will experience in its assets,

voting interests due to the 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 increase. There is no maximum level of discount from NAV at which the Company may sell shares pursuant to this authority. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following chart illustrates the level of NAV dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in four 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The example assumes that the issuer has 94.7&nbsp;million shares outstanding, $3.4&nbsp;billion in total assets and $1.8&nbsp;billion in
total liabilities. The current net asset value and NAV per share are thus $1.6&nbsp;billion and $16.98 per share. The chart illustrates the dilutive effect on Stockholder A of (a)&nbsp;an offering of 4.7&nbsp;million shares of common stock (5% of
the outstanding shares) at $16.13 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV per share), (b) an offering of 9.5&nbsp;million shares of common stock (10% of the outstanding shares) at $15.28 per share after offering
expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV per share), (c) an offering of 18.9&nbsp;million shares of common stock (20% of the outstanding shares) at $13.58 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 20% discount from NAV per
share), and (d)&nbsp;an offering of 23.7&nbsp;million shares of common stock (25% of the outstanding shares) at $12.74 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV per share). The prospectus pursuant to which any
discounted offering is made will include a chart based on the actual number of shares of common stock in such offering and the actual discount to the most recently determined NAV. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that
may occur. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Participate in the Offering </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#8217;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 per share dilution as the nonparticipating stockholders, albeit 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&#8217;s common stock immediately prior to the offering. The level of NAV per share dilution will decrease as the number of shares such stockholders purchase
increases. Existing stockholders who buy more than such percentage will experience NAV per share dilution on their existing shares but will, in contrast to existing stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering,
experience an increase (often called accretion) in average NAV per share over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater increase in their participation in the Company&#8217;s earnings and assets and their
voting power than the Company&#8217;s increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to the 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 per share 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 decreases in NAV per share. This decrease could be more
pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. There is no maximum level of discount from NAV at which the Company may sell shares pursuant to this authority. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following chart illustrates the level of dilution and accretion in the hypothetical 20% discount offering from the prior chart (Example 3)
for a stockholder that acquires shares equal to (a) 50% of its proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 0.05% of an offering of 18.9&nbsp;million shares) rather than its 0.10% proportionate share and (b) 150% of such percentage (i.e., 0.15% of an
offering of 18.9&nbsp;million shares rather than its proportionate 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. </P>
