<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to Section
1104 of the Base Indenture, dated as of August 20, 2018 (the &ldquo;<U>Base Indenture</U>&rdquo;), between New Mountain Finance
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;), and U.S. Bank National Association (the &ldquo;<U>Trustee</U>),
and Section 1.01(h) of the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2018 (the &ldquo;<U>Second Supplemental Indenture</U>,&rdquo;
and together with the Base Indenture, the &ldquo;<U>Indenture</U>&rdquo;), that the Company is electing to exercise its option
to redeem, in full, the 5.75% Notes due 2023 (the &ldquo;<U>Notes</U>&rdquo;). The Company will redeem $51,750,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes, which represents the entire amount outstanding, on March 8, 2021 (the &ldquo;<U>Redemption Date</U>&rdquo;).
The redemption price for the Notes equals 100% of the $51,750,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed (or $25
in principal amount per Note), plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the &ldquo;<U>Redemption
Payment</U>&rdquo;). The aggregate accrued interest on the Notes that is payable on the Redemption Date will be approximately $553,796.88
(or approximately $0.27 on each $25 principal amount of the Notes).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On the Redemption Date, the Redemption
Payment will become due and payable to the Holders of the Notes. Interest on the $51,750,000 in principal amount of Notes being
redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in paying the Redemption Payment with
respect to such Notes, the only remaining right of the Holders with respect to such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption
Payment upon presentation and surrender of such Notes to the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent. Notes held in book-entry
form will be redeemed and the Redemption Payment with respect to such Notes will be paid in accordance with the applicable procedures
of The Depository Trust Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under U.S. federal income tax law, the
Trustee or other withholding agent may be required to withhold twenty-four percent (24%)&nbsp;of any gross payment to a holder
who fails to provide a taxpayer identification number and other required certifications. To avoid backup withholding, please complete
a Form W-9 or an appropriate Form W-8, as applicable, which should be furnished in connection with the presentment and surrender
of the Notes called for redemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit
against a holder&rsquo;s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the withholding and other tax consequences of the redemption.</P>
