approximately $175,000, plus reimbursement for out of pocket expenses, to solicit proxies, though the costs of this proxy solicitation process could be lower or higher than our estimate. In addition to these written proxy materials, our proxy
solicitor, directors, officers and employees of Fidus Investment Advisors, LLC, the Company&#146;s investment adviser and administrator (our &#147;Investment Advisor&#148;), may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of
communication; however, our directors, officers and employees of our Investment Advisor will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited
in person and/or by telephone or facsimile transmission by our proxy solicitor, directors, officers or employees of our Investment Advisor. Our Investment Advisor is located at 1603 Orrington Avenue, Suite 1005, Evanston, Illinois 60201. </P>

and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as &#147;householding,&#148; potentially
provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Brokers may be householding our proxy materials by delivering
a single proxy statement and Annual Report to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding
materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If you did not respond that you did not want to participate in householding, you were deemed to have consented to the process.
If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and Annual Report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and Annual Report and wish to receive only one,
please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you are a stockholder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to: Shelby E. Sherard, Corporate Secretary, Fidus Investment Corporation, 1603

Directors has a majority of directors who are independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq. The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules provide that a director of a BDC shall be considered to be independent if he or she is
not an &#147;interested person&#148; of the Company, as defined in Section&nbsp;2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Section&nbsp;2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an &#147;interested person&#148; to include, among other things, any person who has, or within
the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors has determined that the
following directors are independent: Messrs. Anstiss, Hyman and Tune. Messrs. Ross and Lauer are &#147;interested persons&#148; due to their positions with the Company and/or our Investment Advisor, as discussed in their respective biographies.
Based upon information requested and received from each director concerning their respective background, employment and affiliations, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors has a material business
or professional relationship with the Company, other than in his capacity as a member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Meetings of
the Board and Committees of the Board </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors has established the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee. The Company
does not have a separate compensation committee because its executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from the Company; however, the Audit Committee has been charged with carrying out the duties that would typically be addressed by a
compensation committee. During 2021, the Board of Directors held ten meetings, the Audit Committee held nine meetings and the Nominating Committee held two meetings. The Company encourages, but does not require, the directors to attend the
Company&#146;s annual meeting of its stockholders. During 2021, all of our current directors attended 100% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the respective committees on which they served. All of our directors
attended the 2021 annual meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Leadership Structure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to the business and affairs of the Company. Among other things, the
Board of Directors approves the appointment of our Investment Advisor, administrator and officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by our Investment Advisor, administrator and officers, approves annually the renewal of any
investment advisory agreement with our Investment Advisor and approves the engagement, and reviews the performance of, the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the bylaws, the Board of Directors may designate a chairman to preside over the meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the
stockholders and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors. The Company does not have a fixed policy as to whether the chairman of the Board of Directors should be an independent director and believes that its
flexibility to select its chairman and reorganize its leadership structure from time to time is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Presently, Mr.&nbsp;Ross serves as the chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr.&nbsp;Ross is an interested director because he is the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, serves on our Investment Advisor&#146;s investment committee and is a manager of our Investment Advisor. The Company believes that Mr.&nbsp;Ross&#146;s history with the Company, familiarity with the Fidus investment
platform and extensive experience in the management of private equity and debt investments qualifies him to serve as chairman of the Board of Directors. Moreover, our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders
for Mr.&nbsp;Ross to lead our Board of Directors because of his broad experience with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> management and operation of other investment funds and his
significant background in the financial services industry, as described above. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board of Directors does not have a lead independent director. We are aware of the
potential conflicts that may arise when a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-independent</FONT> director is Chairman of the Board, but believe these potential conflicts are offset by our strong corporate governance practices. Our corporate
governance practices include regular meetings of the independent directors in executive session without the presence of interested directors and management, the establishment of an Audit and Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors, and the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer, with whom the independent directors meet without the presence of interested directors and other members of
management, for administering our compliance policies and procedures. Additionally, Mr.&nbsp;Anstiss, an independent director and the chairman of the Audit Committee, acts as a liaison between the independent directors and management between
meetings of our Board of Directors and presides over regular executive sessions of the Board. Our Board of Directors believes that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of the Company&#146;s characteristics and circumstances because the
structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that encourages effective oversight. Specifically, the Board believes that the relationship of Messrs. Ross and Lauer with our Adviser provides
an effective bridge between the Board and management, and encourages an open dialogue between management and our Board, ensuring that these groups act with a common purpose. The members of our Board of Directors also believe that its small size
creates a highly efficient governance structure that provides ample opportunity for direct communication and interaction between both the members of management and our Investment Advisor and our Board of Directors. </P>

of Directors performs its risk oversight function primarily through (a)&nbsp;its two standing committees, which report to the entire Board of Directors and are comprised solely of independent directors and (b)&nbsp;monitoring by the Company&#146;s
Chief Compliance Officer in accordance with its compliance policies and procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described below in more detail under &#147;Audit
and Compensation Committee&#148; and &#147;Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,&#148; the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The Audit
Committee&#146;s risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the Company&#146;s accounting and financial reporting processes, the Company&#146;s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and audits of the Company&#146;s
financial statements and discussing with management the Company&#146;s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company&#146;s risk assessment and risk management
policies. The Nominating Committee&#146;s risk oversight responsibilities include selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by the Company&#146;s stockholders, developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of
corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and its committees. Both the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee consist solely of independent directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors is assisted in its risk oversight responsibilities by the Chief Compliance Officer. The Company&#146;s Chief Compliance
Officer prepares a written report annually discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and certain of its service providers. The Chief Compliance Officer&#146;s report, which is reviewed by the
Board of Directors, addresses at a minimum (a)&nbsp;the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and certain of its service providers since the last report; (b)&nbsp;any material changes to such policies and procedures
since the last report; (c)&nbsp;any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the Chief Compliance Officer&#146;s annual review; and (d)&nbsp;any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the
last report about which the Board of Directors would reasonably need to know to oversee the Company&#146;s compliance activities and risks. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer meets separately in executive session with the independent
directors periodically, but in no event less than once each year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company believes that the Board of Directors&#146; role in risk

comply with certain regulatory requirements that control the levels of risk in its business and operations. For example, the Company&#146;s ability to incur indebtedness is limited such that its
asset coverage must equal at least 150% immediately after each time it incurs indebtedness and the Company generally has to invest at least 70% of its total assets in &#147;qualifying assets&#148; as described in section 55 of the 1940 Act. In
addition, the Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet
certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">source-of-income</FONT></FONT> and asset diversification requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company believes that the Board of Directors&#146; existing role in risk oversight is appropriate. However, the Company <FONT

members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Anstiss, Hyman and Tune, each of whom is not an interested person and is otherwise independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and Nasdaq&#146;s corporate governance regulations. Since September 2011,
Mr.&nbsp;Anstiss has served as chairman of the Audit Committee. Our board of directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our website at <I>https://investor.fdus.com/corporate-governance</I> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Audit Committee is responsible for approving our independent accountants and recommending them to the board of directors (including a
majority of the independent directors) for approval and submission to the board of directors for ratification, reviewing with our independent accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional services provided by our
accountants, reviewing the independence of our independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Audit Committee is also responsible for aiding the board of directors in determining the fair value of debt and equity securities that are
not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. The Audit Committee also currently receives input from independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board of directors to value certain
portfolio investments. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with management our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk
management policies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The board of directors has determined that Mr.&nbsp;Anstiss is an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148;
within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. Mr.&nbsp;Anstiss acquired his financial expertise from his education and experience as a public accountant, his experience actively supervising financial officers of public companies and in his supervisory
role at a public accounting firm and from his experience overseeing and assessing the performance of public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing and evaluation of financial statements. Mr.&nbsp;Anstiss has consented to be named as
an audit committee financial expert. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the Audit Committee is charged with approving our related-party transactions, the board of
directors has determined not to create a separate compensation committee and instead has charged the Audit Committee with overseeing amounts payable to our advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, and making a
recommendation to the board of directors with respect to the board&#146;s approval (including the approval of a majority of the directors who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Company within the meaning of Section&nbsp;2(a)(19) of the
1940 Act, as amended) of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The board of directors has determined
not to create a separate compensation committee charter and instead has included applicable compensation charter provisions in the charter of the Audit Committee, which is available on our website at

Company&#146;s executive officers, the Audit Committee will, among other things, consider corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation, evaluate each executive officer&#146;s performance in light of such goals and
objectives, and set each executive officer&#146;s compensation based on such evaluation and such other factors as the Audit Committee deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company (including the cost to the Company of such
compensation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, currently none of the Company&#146;s executive officers are directly compensated by the Company. However, the Company reimburses its administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses
incurred by the administrator in performing its obligations under an administration agreement, including an allocable share of the compensation of certain of the Company&#146;s executive officers with finance and compliance responsibilities. </P>

Nominating Committee are Messrs. Anstiss, Hyman and Tune, each of whom is not an interested person and is otherwise independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and Nasdaq&#146;s corporate governance regulations. Mr.&nbsp;Hyman currently serves as
chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Nominating Committee, which is available on the Company&#146;s website at <I>https://investor.fdus.com/corporate-governance.</I> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nominating Committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by the Company&#146;s stockholders,
selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors, developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board of
Directors and its committees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees based on suggestions from members of the Nominating
Committee, other members of the Board of Directors, other executive officers and by other means, and evaluates such persons as a committee. The Nominating Committee will also consider nominees to the Board of Directors recommended by a stockholder,
if such stockholder complies with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws. From time to time, the Board of Directors may determine that it requires a director with a particular expertise or qualification and will actively recruit such a
candidate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In considering which persons to nominate as directors for election by stockholders, the Board of Directors and its Nominating
Committee consider the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of candidates, in light of the Company&#146;s then existing business and structure. Additionally, the committee generally will hire an outside firm to perform a background
check on potential nominees. On an annual basis, the Nominating Committee evaluates the qualifications and diversity of the Board of Directors who are available for reelection in light of the characteristics of independence, age, skills, experience,
availability of service to the Company and tenure of its members, and the Board of Directors&#146; anticipated needs. The Nominating Committee has adopted a policy that it will seek to enhance the perspectives and experiences of the members of the
Board of Directors through diversity in gender, ethnic background, geographic origin and professional experience. The Nominating Committee recommends to the Board of Directors for its approval the slate of directors to be nominated for election at
the annual meeting of the Company&#146;s stockholders. The Board of Directors and its Nominating Committee periodically review board composition and the policies with respect thereto and as part of this review, the Nominating Committee evaluates the
effectiveness of its policies, including the provisions with respect to diversity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In considering possible candidates for nomination as a

prohibits us from making certain negotiated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-investments</FONT> with affiliates unless we first obtain an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. Where <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-investments</FONT> can
be made, or where an investment opportunity becomes available to one investment vehicle managed by our Investment Advisor, then an equitable allocation must be made with respect to the investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has obtained exemptive relief allowing us to engage in certain transactions with our affiliates that would otherwise be prohibited
by the 1940 Act, as applicable to BDCs. The relief permits the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary that is licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the &#147;SBA&#148;) as a small business investment company (an &#147;SBIC&#148;) to
operate effectively as one company, specifically allowing them to: (1)&nbsp;engage in certain transactions with each other; (2)&nbsp;invest in securities in which the other is or proposes to be an investor; (3)&nbsp;file consolidated reports with
the Commission; and (4)&nbsp;be subject to modified consolidated asset coverage requirements for senior securities issued by a BDC and its SBIC subsidiary. Our second and third wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries have not elected to be treated as a BDC
and is not party to this exemptive relief. The fourth exemption described above allows us to exclude any indebtedness guaranteed by the SBA and issued by Fund I from the 150.0% asset coverage requirements applicable to us. On June&nbsp;30, 2014, we
received an exemptive order from the SEC to permit us to exclude the senior securities issued by our second and third wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries from the definition of senior securities in the 150.0% asset coverage requirement applicable to the
Company under the 1940 Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we invest alongside other accounts managed by our Investment Advisor, our Investment Advisor will seek to
ensure the equitable allocation of investment opportunities between us and the other relevant accounts. If we invest alongside such other accounts as permitted by the 1940 Act and related rules, such investments will be made consistent with our
Investment Advisor&#146;s allocation policy. Under this allocation policy, a fixed percentage of each opportunity, which may vary based on asset class and from time to time, will be offered to us and similar eligible accounts, as periodically
determined by our Investment Advisor and approved by our Board of Directors, including our Independent Directors. The allocation policy provides that allocations among us and other accounts will generally be made pro rata based on each
account&#146;s capital available for investment, as determined, in our case, by our Board of Directors, including our Independent Directors. It is our policy to make our determinations as to the amount of capital available for investment based on
such factors as the amount of cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, the targeted leverage level, the targeted asset mix and diversification requirements and other investment policies and restrictions set by our Board of Directors,
or imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations or interpretations. We expect that these determinations will be made similarly for other accounts. On January&nbsp;4, 2017, the SEC granted us an exemptive order that expands our ability to <FONT

certain types of securities that may have a high degree of risk. Additionally, we rely on investment professionals from our Investment Advisor to assist our Board of Directors with the valuation of our portfolio investments. Our Investment

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>APPROVAL TO SELL OR OTHERWISE ISSUE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK BELOW NET ASSET VALUE </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; 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 treated as a BDC under the 1940
Act. The 1940 Act prohibits the Company from selling shares of its common stock at a price below the Company&#146;s then current net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) per share, with certain exceptions. One such exception would permit the Company to
sell shares of its common stock during the next year at a price below the Company&#146;s then current NAV per share if its stockholders approve such a sale and the Company&#146;s directors make certain determinations. Pursuant to this provision, 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 shares of its common stock at a price below its then current NAV per share, subject to certain conditions
discussed below. If approved, the authorization would be effective for a period expiring on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of this Annual Meeting or the date of the Company&#146;s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, equity securities sold in public securities offerings are priced based on public market prices quoted on exchanges such as Nasdaq,
rather than NAV, or book value, per share. Since the Company&#146;s initial public offering, at times the Company&#146;s common stock has traded above its NAV per share, and at times the Company&#146;s common stock has traded below its NAV per
share. Similar to last year, the Company is again seeking the approval of a majority of its common stockholders to authorize the Company, pursuant to approval of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common
stock during the next year at a price below the Company&#146;s then current NAV per share, subject to certain conditions as set forth in this proxy statement (including that the cumulative number of shares sold pursuant to such authority does not
exceed 25% of its then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Selling or otherwise issuing shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock below its then current NAV per share would result in a dilution of the Company&#146;s existing common stockholders. It should be noted that the maximum number of shares issuable below NAV pursuant to this authority that
could result in such dilution is limited to 25% of the Company&#146;s then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale. <B>Furthermore, pursuant to this authority, there would be no limit on the discount to NAV at which shares could
be sold.</B> See below for a discussion and examples of the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares below net asset value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reasons to Offer or
otherwise Issue Common Stock Below NAV </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the limited amount of capital available to lower middle-market companies,
coupled with the desire of these companies for flexible and partnership-oriented sources of capital, creates an attractive investment environment for us. From our perspective, lower middle-market companies have faced difficulty raising debt capital
in both the capital markets and private markets. As a result of the difficulties in the credit markets and fewer sources of capital for lower middle-market companies, we see opportunities for improved risk-adjusted returns. Furthermore, we believe
with a large pool of uninvested private equity capital seeking debt capital to complete transactions and a substantial supply of refinancing opportunities, there is an opportunity to attain appealing risk-adjusted returns on debt and equity
investments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a BDC and a RIC, the Company is dependent on its ability to raise capital through the issuance of 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 using those earnings to support new investments. Further, BDCs must maintain a
debt to equity ratio of less than 1:1 (or 2:1 if certain requirements are satisfied), which requires the Company to finance its investments with at least as much equity as debt in the aggregate. To continue to build the Company&#146;s investment
portfolio, and thereby support maintenance and growth of the Company&#146;s dividends, the Company endeavors to maintain consistent access to capital through the public and private equity markets enabling it to take advantage of investment
opportunities as they arise. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the Company&#146;s common stock has had a relatively limited trading history, it
has traded both at a premium and at a discount in relation to its NAV, which is the equivalent of &#147;book value,&#148; rather than market or publicly-traded value. The possibility that shares of our common stock will trade at either a discount
from NAV or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term is separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether any shares of our common stock issued in the future will trade at, above, or
below NAV. The Company has had six <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">follow-on</FONT> equity offerings since closing its IPO in June 2011 and each offering has priced above the Company&#146;s then current NAV. The following table lists the high and
low sales prices for our common stock, and the sales prices as percentages of net asset values. On March&nbsp;18, 2022, the record date, the last reported closing sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $[&#9679;]. </P>

economy may lead to significant stock market volatility, particularly with respect to the stock of financial services companies. For example, despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, the continued uncertainty
surrounding the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, including new variants of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19,</FONT> and other factors have contributed to significant volatility and declines in the global public
equity markets and global debt capital markets during certain periods since the beginning of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic. While market conditions have largely recovered from the beginning of the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, there have been continuing periods of volatility, some lasting longer than others. During times of increased price volatility, the Company&#146;s common stock may periodically trade below its NAV,
which is not uncommon for BDCs like the Company. As noted above, however, market uncertainties have created, and we believe will continue to create, favorable opportunities to invest, including opportunities that, all else being equal, may increase
NAV over the longer-term, even if financed with the issuance of common stock below NAV, although there is no assurance that this will occur. The Company expects that it will be periodically presented with attractive opportunities that require the
Company to make an investment commitment quickly. The Company may be unable to capitalize on investment opportunities presented to it unless it is able to quickly raise capital. Stockholder approval of the proposal to sell shares below NAV subject
to the conditions detailed below will provide the Company with the flexibility to invest in such opportunities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors

warrants or other securities that may be issued under authority granted by our stockholders at our 2022 annual meeting will not be taken into account in determining whether the 25% limitation described above in this proposal has been reached. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Key Stockholder Considerations </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before
voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, common stockholders should consider the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock at less than NAV per share on the NAV per outstanding share of
common stock. Any sale of common stock at a price below NAV would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders. Since under this proposal shares of the Company&#146;s common stock or securities otherwise issued could be issued at
a price that is substantially below the NAV per share, the dilution could be substantial. This dilution would include reduction in the NAV per share as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below the NAV per share and a proportionately
greater decrease in a stockholder&#146;s interest in the earnings and assets of the Company and voting interest in the Company than the increase in the assets of the Company resulting from such issuance. If this Proposal No.&nbsp;2 is approved, the
Board of Directors of the Company may, consistent with its fiduciary duties, approve the sale or otherwise issue shares of the Company&#146;s common stock at any discount to its then current NAV per share; however, the Board of Directors will
consider the potential dilutive effect of the issuance of shares at a price below the NAV per share when considering whether to authorize any such issuance and will act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in doing so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 1940 Act establishes a connection between common share sale price and NAV because, when shares of common stock or other specific
securities are sold at a sale price below NAV per share, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. 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. For an illustration of the potential dilutive effect of an offering of our
common stock at a price below NAV, please see the table below under the heading <I>&#147;Examples of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV.&#148;</I> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It should be noted that the cumulative number of shares sold below NAV pursuant to this approval is limited to 25% of the Company&#146;s then
outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale. While we aggregate all sales sold below NAV throughout the year for purposes of this limit, the maximum is based on the percentage of outstanding common shares at the time of each
offering and if we issue additional shares throughout the year, we would be able to issue more shares below NAV before reaching the 25% limit. Furthermore, there would be no limit on the discount to NAV at which shares could be sold. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Finally, any sale of substantial amounts of our common stock or other securities in the open market may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock and may adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing in the capital markets. In addition, future sales of our common stock to the public may create a potential market overhang, which is the existence of a large block of
shares readily available for sale that could lead the market to discount the value of shares held by other investors. In the event we were to continue to sell our common stock at prices below NAV for sustained periods of time, such offerings may
result in sustained discounts in the marketplace. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Examples of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table 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 per share, although it is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. Actual sales prices and discounts may differ from the presentation below.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 common shares outstanding, $15,000,000 in
total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The current NAV and net asset value per share are thus $10,000,000 and $10.00. The table illustrates the dilutive effect on nonparticipating Stockholder A of (1)&nbsp;an offering of 50,000 shares (5%
of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after offering expenses and commission (a 5% discount from NAV), (2)&nbsp;an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10%
discount from NAV), (3)&nbsp;an offering of 200,000 shares (20% of the outstanding shares) at $8.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 20% discount from NAV), (4) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at
$7.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV) and (5)&nbsp;an offering of 250,000 (25% of the outstanding shares) with the proceeds to the Company at $0.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 100%
discount from NAV). Under this proposal, there is no limit on the discount at which the Company may sell its shares. </P>
