<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>FIRST QUARTER 2022 DIVIDEND </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>EVANSTON,
Ill.,</B> <B>February</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;16, 2022</B> &#150; Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:FDUS) (&#147;Fidus&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) today announced that its Board of Directors on February&nbsp;15, 2022 declared a base dividend of
$0.36 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.17 per share using a revised formula for the first quarter of 2022. The Company&#146;s dividends will be payable on March&nbsp;25, 2022 to stockholders of record as of March&nbsp;11, 2022. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When declaring dividends, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from
consolidated income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i)&nbsp;changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii)&nbsp;temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii)&nbsp;the amount of
undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2022 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2022 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2022 tax year.
The final tax attributes for 2022 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (&#147;DRIP&#148;) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a
stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not &#147;opted out&#148; of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically
reinvested in additional shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their
election. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>ABOUT FIDUS INVESTMENT CORPORATION </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fidus
