Effective as of August&#160;22, 2024, the size of the Board was increased to eight directors and Katharine Cornell Gorka was elected by the Board to the class of 2027 (with a term expiring at the Company&#8217;s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders), filling the vacancy created by the increase in size. Subsequently, the Board reduced the size of the Board to seven directors in connection with the resignation of director Paul W. Adelgren, with such resignation and reduction in Board size effective as of December&#160;15, 2024. Currently, our Board is comprised of seven directors, five of whom are independent. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the director nominees on which such shares are entitled to vote. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our management. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">We encourage directors and nominees for director to attend the annual meeting.

Our Investor Relations and ESG team typically conducts stockholder outreach following our annual meeting and periodically throughout the year to engage with stockholders on a variety of corporate governance matters including those matters stockholders identify as important. Following such outreach, any specific issues and the overall scope of stockholder engagement is discussed with the Board at the next quarterly meeting. </p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold">Meetings of the Board of Directors </p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Our Board met five times during our fiscal year ended March&#160;31, 2025.

Our Board believes that our chief executive officer is best situated to serve as chairman because he is the director most familiar with our business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. In addition, Mr.&#160;Wilkinson, one of our independent directors, serves as the Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director has the responsibility of presiding at all executive sessions of our independent directors, consulting with the chairman and chief executive officer on Board and committee meeting agendas, acting as a liaison between management and the independent directors and facilitating teamwork and communication between the independent directors and management. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Our Board believes the combined role of chairman and chief executive officer, together with having a Lead Independent Director, is in the best interest of stockholders because it provides the appropriate balance between strategic development and independent oversight of risk management. In coming to this conclusion, the Board considered the importance of having an interested chairperson that is familiar with our <span style="white-space:nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</span></span> management activities, our portfolio companies and the operations of our Adviser. The Board concluded that the combined role enhances, among other things, the Board&#8217;s understanding of our investment portfolio, business, finances and risk management efforts. In addition, the Board believes that Mr.&#160;Gladstone&#8217;s employment by the Adviser better allows for the efficient mobilization of the Adviser&#8217;s resources at the Board&#8217;s behest and on its behalf. </p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold">Information Regarding Committees of the Board of Directors </p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">The following table identifies our standing committees and their current members, and the number of meetings held by each committee during the fiscal year ended March&#160;31, 2025: </p> <p style="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&#160;</p>

For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the independent registered public accounting firm; determines and approves the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent registered public accounting firm or to appoint and engage a new independent registered public accounting firm; reviews and approves the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any proposed permissible <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-audit</span> services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent registered public accounting firm on our audit engagement team as required by law; discusses with management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing and discussing with management and our independent accountants our annual audited and unaudited quarterly financial statements, including disclosures made in &#8220;Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,&#8221; and recommending to the Board whether such financial statements should be included in the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form <span style="white-space:nowrap">10-K</span> or Quarterly Report on Form <span style="white-space:nowrap">10-Q,</span> as applicable. At least annually, the Audit Committee reviews a report from the independent accountants regarding the independent accountant&#8217;s internal quality-control procedures, any material issues raised by internal quality review, or peer review, of the firm or any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities with respect to independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with any such issues. As of March&#160;31, 2025, the Audit Committee was comprised of Messrs. Parker (Chairperson) and Outland and Ms.&#160;English. Mr.&#160;Wilkinson serves as the alternate member of the Audit Committee. The alternate member of the Audit Committee serves and participates in meetings of the Audit Committee only in the event of an absence of a regular member.

No member of the Audit Committee received any compensation from us during the last fiscal year other than directors&#8217; fees. Our Board has unanimously determined that all Audit Committee members and alternate members are financially literate under current Nasdaq rules and that each of Messrs. Outland, Parker and Wilkinson and Ms.&#160;English qualifies as an &#8220;audit committee financial expert,&#8221; as defined in applicable SEC rules. Our Board made a qualitative assessment of the members&#8217; level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including formal education and experience. Messrs.

The Ethics Committee also considers such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to our affairs, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. However, the Ethics Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time.

Factors considered by the Board in reviewing the nominees for directors include honesty, loyalty, personal lifestyle, values, disciplines, ethics, age, experience, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, expertise, background and skills, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of us and our Board at that point in time in order to create and maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability that will best serve us and our stockholders. Similarly, upon the occurrence of any vacancy on the Board, the Ethics Committee will actively seek out highly qualified candidates (including female candidates and racially or ethnically diverse candidates) to include in the pool from which an ultimate nominee for director is chosen. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Ethics Committee reviews such directors&#8217; overall service to us during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair such directors&#8217; independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Ethics Committee also determines whether such new nominee must be independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Ethics Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Ethics Committee </p>

The Adviser may also provide other services to our portfolio companies under certain agreements and may receive fees for services other than managerial assistance. Such services may include, but are not limited to: (i)&#160;assistance obtaining, sourcing or structuring credit facilities, long term loans or additional equity from unaffiliated third parties; (ii)&#160;negotiating important contractual financial relationships; (iii)&#160;consulting services regarding restructuring of the portfolio company and financial modeling as it relates to raising additional debt and equity capital from unaffiliated third parties; and (iv)&#160;taking a primary role in interviewing, vetting and negotiating employment contracts with candidates in connection with adding and retaining key portfolio company management team members. The Adviser voluntarily, unconditionally, and irrevocably credits 100% of any fees for such services against the base management fee that we would otherwise be required to pay to the Adviser; however, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, a small percentage of certain of such fees, totaling $0.4&#160;million for the year ended March&#160;31, 2025, were retained by the Adviser in the form of reimbursement, at cost, for tasks completed by personnel of the Adviser, primarily related to the valuation of portfolio companies. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Under the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for administrative services including record keeping and regulatory compliance functions. Payments under the Administration Agreement are generally equal to our allocable portion of our Administrator&#8217;s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent for the space occupied by our Administrator, and our allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses of our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief valuation officer, chief compliance officer and general counsel and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator&#8217;s expenses are generally derived by multiplying our Administrator&#8217;s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator&#8217;s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services of all companies serviced by our Administrator. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Our Adviser and Administrator are 100% indirectly owned by David Gladstone, the chairman of our Board and our chief executive officer.

Ms.&#160;Novara, one of our directors and our Head of Human Resources, Facilities&#160;&amp; Office Management and IT, is also Head of Resource Management of our Adviser. Although we believe that the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement are no less favorable to us than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties in arms&#8217; length transactions, our Adviser and Administrator, their officers and their directors have a material interest in the terms of these agreements. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">The principal executive office of each of the Adviser and the Administrator is located at 1521 Westbranch Drive, Suite 100, McLean, Virginia 22102. </p>

Since Business Investment is a consolidated subsidiary of ours, coupled with the fact that the total base management fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement cannot exceed 2.0% of total assets (less any uninvested cash or cash equivalents resulting from borrowings) during any given calendar year, we treat payment of the loan servicing fee pursuant to our line of credit as a <span style="white-space:nowrap">pre-payment</span> of the base management fee under the Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, these loan servicing fees are 100% voluntarily, unconditionally and irrevocably credited back to us by the Adviser. Loan servicing fees of approximately $9.6&#160;million were incurred for the fiscal year ended March&#160;31, 2025, all of which were directly credited against the amount of the base management fee due to our Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. </p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold">Investment Banking Services </p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:justify">Gladstone Securities, an affiliated broker dealer which is 100% indirectly owned and controlled by Mr.&#160;Gladstone, provides other services, including investment banking and due diligence services, to certain of our portfolio companies for which it receives a fee (paid by such portfolio companies) in an amount not greater than 1% of each investment at closing.
