will not be less than the net asset value per share of our common stock at the time of the offering except (i)&nbsp;in connection with a rights offering to our existing common stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;with the consent of the holders of the majority

You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement carefully before you invest in our Securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We operate as an

are to: (1)&nbsp;achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established lower middle market companies in the U.S. that we believe will provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest
payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders; and (2)&nbsp;provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in equity securities, in connection with our debt
investments, that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Securities may be
offered directly to one or more purchasers, including existing stockholders in a rights offering, through agents designated from time to time by us, or to or through underwriters or dealers, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT

prospectus supplement relating to the offering will identify any agents or underwriters involved in the sale of our Securities, and will disclose any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between us and our agents or
underwriters or among our underwriters or the basis upon which such amount may be calculated. See &#147;<I>Plan of Distribution</I>.&#148; We may not sell any of our Securities through agents, underwriters or dealers without delivery of a prospectus
supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such Securities. Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) under the symbol &#147;GLAD.&#148; As of November 24, 2021, the last reported sales
price for our common stock was $12.12. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The securities in which we invest generally would be rated below investment grade if they were
rated by rating agencies. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as &#147;junk,&#148; have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer&#146;s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may
also be difficult to value and are illiquid. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>An investment in our Securities involves certain risks, including, among other
things, the risk of leverage and risks relating to investments in securities of small, private and developing businesses. Common shares of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> investment companies frequently trade at a discount to
their net asset value per share. If our shares trade at a discount to their net asset value, this will likely increase the risk of loss to purchasers of our Securities. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties, including the risk of
leverage and dilution, described in, or incorporated by reference into, the section titled &#147;</B><B><I><A HREF="#tx234572_3">Risk Factors</A></I></B><B>&#148; beginning on page 4 of this prospectus or included in, or incorporated by reference

was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on May&nbsp;30, 2001 and completed an initial public offering on August&nbsp;24, 2001. We are an externally managed, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end,</FONT> <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-diversified</FONT> management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. We were established for
the purpose of investing in debt and equity securities of established private businesses operating in the United States (&#147;U.S.&#148;). </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our Investment Objectives and Strategy </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our investment objectives are to: (1)&nbsp;achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established lower middle market
companies (which we generally define as companies with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (&#147;EBITDA&#148;) of $3&nbsp;million to $15 million) in the U.S. that we believe will provide stable earnings and cash
flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and make distributions to stockholders; and (2)&nbsp;provide our stockholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of our assets by investing in
equity securities, in connection with our debt investments, that we believe can grow over time to permit us to sell our equity investments for capital gains. To achieve our objectives, our primary investment strategy is to invest in several
categories of debt and equity securities, with each investment generally ranging from $8&nbsp;million to $30&nbsp;million, although investment size may vary, depending upon our total assets or available capital at the time of investment. We lend to
borrowers that need funds for growth capital, to finance acquisitions, or to recapitalize or refinance their existing debt facilities. We seek to avoid investing in high-risk, early-stage enterprises. Our targeted portfolio companies are generally
considered too small for the larger capital marketplace. We expect that our investment portfolio over time will consist of approximately 90.0% debt investments and 10.0% equity investments, at cost. As of September&nbsp;30, 2021, our investment
portfolio was made up of approximately 91.6% debt investments and 8.4% equity investments, at cost. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We invest by ourselves or jointly
with other funds and/or management of the portfolio company, depending on the opportunity. In July 2012, the SEC granted us an exemptive order (the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;Co-Investment</FONT> Order&#148;) that expanded our ability to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-invest,</FONT> under certain circumstances, with certain of our affiliates, including Gladstone Investment and any future BDC or registered <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> management investment
company that is advised (or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-advised</FONT> if it controls the fund) by the Adviser, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the conditions in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-Investment</FONT>
Order. We believe the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-Investment</FONT> Order has enhanced and will continue to enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies. If we are participating in an investment with one or more <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-investors,</FONT> whether or not an affiliate of ours, our investment is likely to be smaller than if we were investing alone. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, our investments in debt securities have a term of no more than seven years, accrue interest at variable rates (generally based on
the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> London Interbank Offered Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;)) and, to a lesser extent, at fixed rates. We seek debt instruments that pay interest monthly or, at a minimum, quarterly, may have a success fee or
deferred interest provision and are primarily interest only, with all principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity. Generally, success fees accrue at a set rate and are contractually due upon a change of control of a portfolio
company, typically from an exit or sale. Some debt securities have deferred interest whereby some portion of the interest payment is added to the principal balance so that the interest is paid, together with the principal, at maturity. This form of
deferred interest is often called <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-in-kind</FONT></FONT> (&#147;PIK&#148;) interest. </P>

to as &#147;qualifying assets&#148; and generally include each of the investment types listed above, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets (other than certain assets related to our operations) represent at least 70.0% of our
total assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the majority of the loans in our portfolio consist of term debt in private companies that typically cannot or will
not expend the resources to have their debt securities rated by a credit rating agency, we expect that most, if not all, of the debt securities we acquire will be unrated. Investors should assume that these loans would be rated below
&#147;investment grade&#148; quality. Investments rated below investment grade are often referred to as high yield securities or junk bonds and may be considered higher risk, as compared to investment-grade debt instruments. In addition, many of the
debt securities we hold may not amortize prior to maturity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our Investment Adviser and Administrator </B></P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-Q</FONT> and the other information contained in this prospectus, as updated, amended or superseded by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange
Act&#148;), and the risk factors and other information contained in any accompanying prospectus supplement before acquiring any of such Securities. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow and might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered Securities. Much of the business information, as well as the financial and operational data contained in our risk
factors, is updated in our periodic reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, which are also incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Although we believe the risk factors described in such documents are the principal risk
factors associated with an investment in our Securities as well as those factors generally associated with an investment company with investment objectives, investment policies, capital structure or trading markets similar to ours, please be aware
that these are not the only risks we face and there may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we currently consider not likely to have a significant impact. New risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or
estimate the extent to which they may affect our business or our financial performance. Please also refer to &#147;Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.&#148; </I></P>

make investments in accordance with our investment objectives and strategy, with any remaining proceeds to be used for other general corporate purposes. We intend to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-borrow</FONT> under our Credit Facility to make
investments in portfolio companies in accordance with our investment objectives and strategy depending on the availability of appropriate investment opportunities and market conditions. We anticipate that substantially all of the net proceeds of any
offering of Securities will be utilized in the manner described above within three months of the completion of such offering. Pending such utilization, we intend to invest the net proceeds of any offering of Securities primarily in cash, cash
equivalents, U.S.&nbsp;government securities, and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less from the date of investment, consistent with the requirements for continued qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.
These temporary investments may have lower yields than our other investments and, accordingly, may result in lower distributions, if any, during such period. Our ability to achieve our investment objective may be limited to the extent that the net
proceeds from an offering, pending full investment, are held in lower yielding interest-bearing deposits or other short-term instruments. </P>

the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. For example, Mr.&nbsp;Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer, is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Adviser, the Administrator

president, is an executive managing director of the Adviser. Moreover, the Adviser may establish or sponsor other investment vehicles which from time to time may have potentially overlapping investment objectives with ours and accordingly may invest
in, whether principally or secondarily, asset classes we target. While the Adviser generally has broad authority to make investments on behalf of the investment vehicles that it advises, the Adviser has adopted investment allocation procedures to
address these potential conflicts and intends to direct investment opportunities to the Company or the Affiliated Public Fund with the investment strategy that most closely fits the investment opportunity. Nevertheless, the management of the Adviser
may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities to other entities managed by the Adviser. As a result, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by other funds managed by the
Adviser. </P>

If an officer serves in such capacity with one of our portfolio companies, such officer will owe fiduciary duties to stockholders of the portfolio company, which duties may from time to time conflict with the interests of our stockholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the course of our investing activities, we will pay management and incentive fees to the Adviser and will reimburse the Administrator for
certain expenses it incurs. As a result, investors in our common stock will invest on a &#147;gross&#148; basis and receive distributions on a &#147;net&#148; basis after expenses, resulting in a lower rate of return than one might achieve through
our investors themselves making direct investments. As a result of this arrangement, there may be times when the management team of the Adviser has interests that differ from those of our stockholders, giving rise to a conflict. In addition, as a
BDC, we make available significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies and provide other services to such portfolio companies. While neither we nor the Adviser currently receive fees in connection with managerial assistance, the Adviser
and Gladstone Securities have, at various times, provided other services to certain of our portfolio companies and received fees for services other than managerial assistance as discussed in &#147;<I>Business&#151; Ongoing Management of Investments

Portfolio Managers receive compensation from our Adviser in the form of a base salary plus a bonus. Each Portfolio Manager&#146;s base salary is determined by a review of salary surveys for persons with comparable experience who are serving in
comparable capacities in the industry. Each Portfolio Manager&#146;s base salary is set and reviewed yearly. Like all employees of the Adviser, a Portfolio Manager&#146;s bonus is tied to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;post-tax&nbsp;performance</FONT> of the Adviser and the entities that it advises. A Portfolio Manager&#146;s bonus increases or decreases when the Adviser&#146;s income increases or decreases. The
Adviser&#146;s income, in turn, is directly tied to the management and incentive fees earned in managing its investment funds, including Gladstone Capital. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives a base management fee and an
incentive fee based on net investment income in excess of the hurdle rates and capital gains as set out in the Advisory Agreement. During the fiscal years ended September&nbsp;30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net fees of approximately
$11.5&nbsp;million, $7.8&nbsp;million and $9.6&nbsp;million, respectively, to our Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. See &#147;<I>Business &#150; Transactions with Related Parties &#150; Investment Advisory and Management Agreement</I>&#148; in
Part I, Item 1 of our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for a full discussion of how such fees are computed and paid. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors approving the Advisory

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our transfer agency and services agreement with our transfer agent, Computershare, Inc. (&#147;Computershare&#148;), authorizes Computershare
to provide a dividend reinvestment plan that allows for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our common stockholders upon their election as provided below. As a result, if our Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend,
then our common stockholders who have &#147;opted in&#148; to the dividend reinvestment plan will not receive cash dividends but, instead, such cash dividends will automatically be reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan, if your shares of our common stock are registered in your own name you can have all distributions
reinvested in additional shares of our common stock by Computershare, as the plan agent, if you enroll in the dividend reinvestment plan by delivering an enrollment form to the plan agent prior to the corresponding dividend record date, available
at<I> www.computershare.com/investor</I>. The plan agent will effect purchases of our common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan in the open market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not elect to participate in the dividend reinvestment plan, you will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly
to you (or if you hold your shares in street or other nominee name, then to your nominee) as of the relevant record date, by the plan agent, as our distribution disbursing agent. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or nominee, you can
transfer the shares into your own name and then enroll in the dividend reinvestment plan or contact your broker or nominee to determine if they offer a dividend reinvestment plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The plan agent serves as agent for the holders of our common stock in administering the dividend reinvestment plan. After we declare a
dividend, the plan agent will, as agent for the participants, receive the cash payment and use it to buy common stock on Nasdaq or elsewhere for the participants&#146; accounts. The price of the shares will be the weighted average price of all
shares purchased by the plan agent on such trade date or dates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders can obtain additional information about, and participants in
the dividend reinvestment plan may withdraw from, the dividend reinvestment plan at any time by contacting Computershare online at<I> www.computershare.com/investor</I>, via telephone at (781) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">575-2000</FONT> or by
mailing a request to 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 or by selling or transferring all applicable shares. If the plan agent receives a request to withdraw near a dividend record date, the plan agent, in its sole discretion, may either
distribute such dividends in cash or reinvest the shares on behalf of the withdrawing participant. If such dividends are reinvested, the plan agent will process the withdrawal as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days
after the reinvestment is completed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The plan agent will maintain each participant&#146;s account in the dividend reinvestment plan and
will furnish periodic written confirmations of all transactions in such account, including information needed by the stockholder for personal and tax records. Common stock in the account of each dividend reinvestment plan participant will be held by
the plan agent in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-certificated</FONT> form in the name of such participant; however participants may request that such shares be certificated in their name. The plan agent will provide proxy materials relating to
our stockholders&#146; meetings that will include those shares purchased through the plan agent, as well as shares held pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We pay the plan agent&#146;s fees for the handling or reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. If a participant elects by written
notice to the plan agent prior to termination of his or her account to have the plan agent sell part or all of the shares held by the plan agent in the participant&#146;s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan agent is
authorized to deduct a transaction fee of $15.00 for each batch order sale and $25.00 for each market order, day limit order and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">good-til-canceled</FONT></FONT> limit order sale, plus
brokerage commissions of $0.10 per share, from the proceeds. The participants in the dividend reinvestment plan will also bear a transaction fee of up to $5.00, plus per share brokerage commissions of $0.10, incurred with respect to open market
purchases. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares, and the reinvestment of distributions
pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan will not relieve participants of any U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax or state income tax that may be payable or required to be withheld on such distributions. For more information regarding taxes that our
stockholders may be required to pay, see &#147;<I>Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.</I>&#148; </P>

income tax consequences that those described in this summary, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of that preferred stock will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. This summary assumes that investors hold our common stock as
capital assets (within the meaning of the Code). The discussion is based upon the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and published rulings and court decisions all as currently in effect, all of which are
subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;)
regarding any matter discussed herein, and this discussion is not binding on the IRS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, and a court will not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences discussed
herein. This summary does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate or gift tax or foreign, state or local tax. It does not discuss the special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws that could result if we invest in <FONT

we distribute (or are deemed to timely distribute) generally are taxable to the holders of our common stock, and any net operating losses, foreign tax credits and most other tax attributes generally will not pass through to the holders of our common

federal income tax rules as having original issue discount (&#147;OID&#148;) (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, that have increasing interest rates or are issued with warrants), we must include in our taxable income in
each year a portion of the OID that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether we receive cash representing that income in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in our taxable income other amounts that we have not

or carryback basis, and net operating losses generally will not pass through to holders of our common stock. In addition, expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, and may not be used to offset net capital gain. A RIC
may not use any net capital losses (i.e., realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC&#146;s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward those losses, and use them to offset future capital gains,
indefinitely. Further, a RIC&#146;s deduction of net business interest expense is limited to 30% of its &#147;adjusted taxable income&#148; plus &#147;floor plan financing interest expense.&#148; It is not expected that any portion of any
underwriting or similar fee will be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes to us or the holders of our common stock. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses, net capital losses and business interest expenses, we may, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, have aggregate taxable income for several years that we are required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if this income is greater than the aggregate net income we actually earned during those years.

our common stock. The amount of gain or loss will be measured by the difference between a U.S. stockholder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the common stock sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of and the amount of the proceeds received in exchange. Any
gain or loss arising from a sale, redemption or other disposition generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held the shares for more than one year. Otherwise, the gain or loss will be classified as
short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss arising from the sale, redemption or other disposition of shares of our common stock held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of
capital gain dividends received, or undistributed capital gain deemed received, with respect to those shares. In addition, all or a portion of any loss recognized upon a disposition of shares of our common stock may be disallowed if substantially
identical stock or securities are purchased (whether through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30&nbsp;days before or after the disposition. In that case, any disallowed loss is generally added to the U.S. stockholder&#146;s

the same maximum rate. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-corporate</FONT> U.S. stockholders with net capital losses for a year (i.e., capital loss in excess of capital gain) generally may deduct up to $3,000 of those losses against their ordinary

investors of portfolio securities in many cases are excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, equity owners of a RIC are not excepted. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal
determination of whether the taxpayer&#146;s treatment of the loss is proper. Significant monetary penalties apply to a failure to comply with this reporting requirement. States may also have similar reporting requirements. Shareholders should

our common stock is entitled to one vote and does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that holders of a majority of such shares, if they so choose, could elect all of the directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares
would, in that case, be unable to elect any director. Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol &#147;GLAD.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Preferred Stock

one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions granted to or imposed upon such preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, and
liquidation preference, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Thus, the Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of
holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation, and could also decrease the market price of our common stock. </P>

requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires, among other things, that (1)&nbsp;immediately after issuance and before any dividend or other distribution is made with respect to our common stock and before any purchase of common stock is made,
such preferred stock together with all other Senior Securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of our total assets after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2)&nbsp;the holders of
shares of preferred stock, if any are issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if dividends on such preferred stock are in arrears by two years or more. Certain matters under
the 1940 Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. If we offer preferred stock under this prospectus, we will issue an appropriate prospectus supplement. You should read that prospectus supplement
for a description of the preferred stock, including, but not limited to, whether there will be an arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments, if any, restrictions with respect to the declaration of dividends, requirements in
connection with the maintenance of any ratio or assets, or creation or maintenance of reserves, or provisions for permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities. </P>

charter and bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that could make more difficult the acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain
types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential
disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals might result in an improvement of their terms. The description set forth below is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to our charter and bylaws, as amended, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Classified Board of Directors </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
accordance with our bylaws, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms, with the term of directors in each class expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year
following the year of their election. One class has two directors, one class has three directors and one class has four directors. A classified board may render more difficult a change in control of us or removal of our incumbent management. We
believe, however, that the longer time required to elect a majority of a classified board of directors will help to ensure continuity and stability of our management and policies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our classified board could have the effect of making the replacement of incumbent directors more time consuming and difficult. Because our
directors may only be removed for cause, at least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of our Board of Directors. Thus, our classified board could increase the likelihood
that incumbent directors will retain their positions. The staggered terms of directors may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or an attempt to change control of us or another transaction that might involve a premium price for our common stock
that might be in the best interest of our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Number of Directors; Removal; Vacancies </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter provides that the number of directors will be determined pursuant to our bylaws and our bylaws provide that a majority of our
entire Board of Directors may at any time increase or decrease the number of directors. In addition, our bylaws provide that the number of directors shall not be increased by 50% or more in any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> period
without the approval of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the members of our Board of Directors then in office. Our bylaws provide that any vacancies may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even
if less than a quorum, and the directors so appointed shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until their successors are elected and qualified. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our directors may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by
our stockholders generally in the election of directors. This provision, when coupled with the power of our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors, precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors except for cause and
upon a substantial affirmative vote and could preclude stockholders from filling the vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to make nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other

only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only
(1)&nbsp;by or at the direction of our board of directors or (2)&nbsp;by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions

business and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Board of Directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations about such qualifications or business, as well as to provide a more orderly procedure for conducting meetings of
stockholders. Although our bylaws do not give our Board of Directors any power to disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors or proposals for action, they may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of
directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if proper procedures are not followed and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal
without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to us and our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Authority to Issue

attractiveness as an investment as compared with alternative investments. Our Board of Directors may authorize our officers, in their discretion and subject to compliance with the 1940 Act and other applicable law, to purchase on the open market or

purchases, we may terminate them at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, if our shares publicly trade for a substantial period of time at a substantial

determining whether to take any such actions, including the effect of such actions on our status as a RIC under the Code and the availability of cash to finance these repurchases in view of the restrictions on our ability to borrow. We cannot assure
you that any share repurchases will be made or that if made, they will reduce or eliminate market discount. Should we make any such repurchases in the future, we expect that we would make them at prices at or below the then current NAV per share.
Any such repurchase would cause our total assets to decrease, which may have the effect of increasing our expense ratio. We may borrow money to finance the repurchase of shares subject to the limitations described in this prospectus. Any interest on

any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2)&nbsp;employees involved in the decision-making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how the Adviser intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence

offering, or through agents or through a combination of any such methods of sale. In the case of a rights offering, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of each right
and the other terms of such rights offering. Any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of Securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any prospectus supplement or supplements will also describe the terms of the
offering of Securities, including: the amount and purchase price of Securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional Securities from us; any agency fees or
underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents&#146; or underwriters&#146; compensation; the public offering price; any discounts or concessions allowed or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-allowed</FONT> or paid to dealers; and any
securities exchange or market on which the Securities may be listed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The distribution of the Securities may be effected from time to time
in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, in &#147;at the market offerings&#148; within the meaning of Rule&nbsp;415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The price at which Securities may be distributed may represent a discount from prevailing market prices, provided, however, that in the case of our common stock, the offering price per share
less any underwriting commissions or discounts must equal or exceed the NAV per share of our common stock except (i)&nbsp;in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;with the consent of the majority of our
outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act), or (iii)&nbsp;under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the Securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Our common stockholders
will indirectly bear such fees and expenses as well as any other fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with any sale of Securities. Underwriters may sell the Securities to or through dealers and such dealers may receive compensation in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be
underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions they receive from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any
such underwriter or agent will be identified and any such compensation received from us will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer
will not exceed 10%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids
in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing
bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the Securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is
completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the Securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short
positions. Those activities may cause the price of the Securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriters that are qualified market makers on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on Nasdaq in
accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price
limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive
market maker&#146;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#146;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the Securities at a level above that which might otherwise
prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since we generally acquire and dispose of our investments in privately negotiated transactions, we will infrequently use securities brokers or
dealers in the normal course of our business. Subject to policies established by our Board of Directors, our Adviser will be primarily responsible for ensuring the execution of transactions involving publicly traded securities and the review of
brokerage commissions in respect thereof, if any. In the event that our Adviser ensures the execution such transactions, we do not expect our Adviser to execute transactions through any particular broker or dealer, but we would expect our Adviser to
seek to obtain the best net results for us, taking into account such factors as price (including any applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the broker dealer and the
broker dealer&#146;s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities. While we expect that our Adviser generally will seek reasonably competitive trade execution costs, we will not necessarily pay the lowest spread or commission available.
Subject to applicable legal requirements, our Adviser may select a broker dealer based partly upon brokerage or market research services provided to us, our Adviser and any of its other clients, if any. In return for such services, we may pay a
higher commission than other broker dealers would charge if our Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker dealer viewed in terms either
of the particular transaction or our Adviser&#146;s overall responsibilities with respect to all of our Adviser&#146;s clients. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have

could result from an expectation of personal gain now or in the future or from a need to satisfy a prior or concurrent personal obligation. We expect you to be free from influences that conflict with the best interests of our companies, or might
deprive our companies of your undivided loyalty in business dealings. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest where none actually exists can be damaging and should be avoided. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be

influence the awarding of lucrative contracts for the management of public pension plan assets and similar government investment accounts, so-called &#147;pay to play,&#148; the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 206(4)-5 amending the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (hereinafter &#147;Rule 206(4)-5&#148; or the &#147;Rule&#148;) prohibiting investment advisors from receiving compensation for advisory services rendered to a public pension plan or other government investment
account if certain political contributions are made by the adviser, or certain of its executives and employees. The Rule covers, among other things, all direct contributions made to incumbent state or local officials, or candidates for state or
local office, direct contributions to state or local political party committees, and indirect contributions such as in-kind contributions, and soliciting or coordinating contributions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rule 206(4)-5 applies to the Adviser because it is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and to Gladstone

used as an indirect means of making political contributions on the investment&#146;s advisers behalf. Under the Rule, FINRA&#146;s rules must be at least as restrictive as Rule 206(4)-5 for a broker dealer to be able to solicit government clients on
the investment adviser&#146;s behalf. While GSC is not a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, any contributions made by a Covered Associate of GSC could be deemed to have been made by the Adviser, thus prohibiting
the Adviser from providing investment advisory services to the applicable Government Entity. Likewise, contributions made by a newly hired employee prior to his or her employment at the Adviser or GSC could be deemed to have been made by the
