For this reason, the Company is seeking to withdraw the Registration Statement and, concurrent with this request, will file a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form N-2. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company further requests, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited to the Company&#8217;s account to be used to offset the filing fee for any future registration statement filed by a registrant entitled to apply such fees under Rule 457(p), including, but not limited to, the new automatic shelf registration statement above. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Any questions or comments regarding this letter should be directed to our counsel, Payam Siadatpour of Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP, at 202-383-0278.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:right"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:38.461%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:10.150%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:87.650%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Sincerely,</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">NEW MOUNTAIN FINANCE CORPORATION</font></td></tr><tr style="height:12pt"><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">By&#58;</font></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">&#47;s&#47; Laura C.
