Transaction Summary • On August 10th, Barings BDC, Inc. (“BBDC”) announced its intention to acquire MVC Capital Inc. (“MVC”) for a total value consideration of $177.5 million.1 Additionally, Barings LLC will provide $23 million of credit support through a credit support agreement (“CSA”) to investors in the combined entity on the legacy MVC portfolio over the next 10 years • We believe this combination provides strategic and financial benefits to the combined company, including the following anticipated benefits: 1) Increased scale, as the combined company is expected to have more than $1.2 billion of investments on a pro forma basis; 2) Earnings accretion, as we estimate NOI per share to be $0.18 - $0.20 in the first full quarter post-closing compared to $0.14 during 2Q20; 3) Investment “option” value through an expanded equity base, increased leverage and investment capacity, and improved access to unsecured debt capital markets; 4) Manager and shareholder alignment through an upfront cash payment to MVC stockholders in connection with the Transaction and the use of a manager CSA and share repurchases; 5) Efficiencies and portfolio diversification through cost synergies and an increase in portfolio obligors; and 6) Expected accretion to long-term NAV as assets are realized and repositioned into directly-originated investments • In connection with the Transaction, Barings LLC will seek to amend its current investment management agreement with Barings BDC to, among other things, (i) lower the base management fee to 1.25%, down from 1.375%, (ii) make certain conforming and definitional changes relating to the Transaction, and (iii) reset the incentive fee cap commencement date to coincide with the first quarterly period ending after the closing of the Transaction.

To the extent there are negative marks on the MVC portfolio (the reference portfolio) relative to BBDC’s purchase price of those assets, the CSA will have a positive value on BBDC’s balance sheet • At the end of 10 years, Barings LLC will make a cash payment to BBDC to the extent losses were experienced relative to the purchase price, up to the value of the CSA • MVC’s portfolio at cost totaled $346 million and fair value as of April 30, 2020 totaled $226 million, representing 65% of original cost.
