Executive Message to Stockholders

Hello, I’m Rob Pomeroy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Technology Finance Corporation. I would like to thank you for being a stockholder and for your continued support of Horizon. By now, you should have received proxy materials in the mail or by email for the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 25, 2023. It is important that your voice is heard, and that you vote at the upcoming Annual Meeting, regardless of the number of shares you own.

Stockholders are being asked to vote on two proposals. It is extremely important that we achieve a quorum of stockholders to vote on these proposals. It is critical you vote your shares now. The Board of Directors and I recommend that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals, which we believe will benefit Horizon and our stockholders as outlined in the information on each proposal found in the proxy materials. Thank you in advance for participating by voting your shares. Your support is appreciated as we continue to seek long term rewards for you, our stockholders.
