<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:26pt;">Letter To Shareholders</font></p>
</div>
<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Dear Shareholders,</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">In 2017, StoneCastle Financial Corp. ("StoneCastle Financial" or the "Company") achieved significant milestones. During the year the Company was assigned an A+ issuer rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency, who also elected to assign a BBB+ rating for preferred shares, if and when any are issued. In the third quarter, the Company increased its dividend rate by 2.7% to $0.38 per share. The Company continued to gain broader recognition in the marketplace for the quality and consistency of the investment portfolio, and for the diligence and discipline with which our advisor, StoneCastle Asset Management ("SAM"), originates investments. The management continues to focus on creating value for our shareholders, and we are proud of our achievements as a public company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">At year-end, the share price of StoneCastle Financial closed at $20.13, up 16.21% for the year including dividend reinvestment, reflecting a market capitalization of $131.7 million. The Company had a dividend yield of approximately 7.6% and total cumulative distributions of $6.75 per share since inception. Total assets at year-end were $170.4 million, with only 2% of total assets held in cash, and an estimated annualized portfolio yield of 9.05%.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">As with all investments, timing is an important factor. We believe the current regulatory and economic environment continues to benefit community banks and our shareholders. For example, banks are poised to see regulatory relief from both amendments and rollbacks of regulations. We believe U.S. banks could experience increased profits through reduced regulatory compliance costs, flexibility to expand into new lines of business and an increase in the pace of mergers (which also brings significant cost savings), and most banks will see increased profits derived from the 40% reduction in their federal corporate tax rate, now at 21%.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">New developments in accounting standards, known as CECL (current expected credit loss models), will be effective in 2020. This accounting measurement requires banks to increase their reserves for loan losses to cover the life of each loan they make. This will likely precipitate an increased need for capital to maintain their capital ratios, of which Tier 2 sub debt is the most cost-efficient form of capital to satisfy this need. StoneCastle Financial is in a great position to aid the potentially hundreds of banks that we believe will seek additional capital, solely to comply with these new accounting standards.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Turning to interest rates, most community banks benefit from a steepening of the interest rate curve as lending rates (the interest earned on loans) increase faster than bank deposit costs. The difference between the loan rates and deposit rates is called "net-interest margins" or "NIM" and is comparable to gross profits for a bank. NIM tends to increase in higher interest rate environments, and the interest earned increases even more when the interest rate curve steepens, likely benefitting community banks.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">We believe our expertise in this sector, along with the potential for legislative relief in the regulatory environment, increasing steepness in the interest rate curve, and continued improving macro trends, offer current and prospective shareholders a unique and timely </font></p>

We also believe a stronger economy, continued bank mergers and changes to accounting standards will ensure a strong anticipated pipeline of activity for StoneCastle Financial as banks seek capital.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Finally, community banks are not given enough credit for the tremendous impact they have on their communities and local economic development. It is not widely known that community banks are the exclusive financial institutions serving nearly 900 U.S. counties, representing 28%<sup>1</sup> of all U.S. counties. They serve a geographically and socio-economic diverse client base and make a contribution to two important societal themes: financial access and financial inclusion. Community banks have a strong reputation for community service in support of the health and well-being of communities in which they operate.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Given these factors, we believe that StoneCastle Financial will continue to offer investors an attractive and differentiated opportunity, unparalleled in the public markets, one that also provides a societal good. We believe the combination of our long-term investment strategy, consistent and stable income stream and rigorous credit standards, positions StoneCastle to deliver sustainable income and capital appreciation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Among the factors that affect the timing of capital deployment are: (i) a bank's timeframe to obtain internal approvals to issue, (ii) the protracted nature of mergers and acquisitions, and (iii) an approval process from government regulators which must provide final regulatory approvals for a bank merger, capital issuances and capital redemptions (refinancing).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">In the first quarter of 2016, the Company received notification that Chicago Shore Corporation, Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, 9% and Chicago Shore Corporation, Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, 9% elected to defer dividend payments as permitted by terms of their security. At year-end 2017, StoneCastle had a fair value investment of $5.7 million in these positions. Under GAAP, income from an investment in a preferred stock deferring payments on a cumulative basis cannot be accrued. StoneCastle monitors the positions for accrued and compounded payments. At the time the bank resumes dividend payments, the bank will be required to pay all deferred payments and the compounded rate of return on the missed payments, along with the current dividend due.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><i>INVESTMENT PROCESS</i></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Company conducts due diligence on pending investments in several phases, beginning with a preliminary screening and ending, in most cases, with an on-site management visit. The investment process includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews with investment decisions made by an investment committee with nearly 120 years of combined investment experience in the bank sector. The Company's disciplined approach to due diligence and commitment to credit quality reflects its long-term view. The Company believes shareholders have high regard for this dedicated and disciplined approach to portfolio construction, as we expect it will serve to provide predictable cash flows over an extended period of time.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><i>INVESTMENT FOCUS</i></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The following graphic helps to illustrate the range of investments StoneCastle typically pursues at a bank relative to a traditional bank's capital structure. A bank's capital structure includes subordinated debt, preferred stock and common equity. Bank holding company senior debt can also be absorbed at the bank level and become part of the bank's capital structure. As a lender, a bank makes senior and mezzanine loans to borrowers. A bank's common equity and loan loss reserves offer a capital buffer to absorb credit losses from bank loans. StoneCastle typically invests in securities that rank senior to the common equity of a bank. As investors in senior and subordinated debt, StoneCastle would only incur a credit loss if the bank's common equity plus loan loss reserves were exhausted.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Note 1 &#151; Organization</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">StoneCastle Financial Corp.("SCFC" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Investment Company Act") which commenced investment operations on November 13, 2013. In addition, SCFC has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or "RIC" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code''). As an investment company, the Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services &#151; Investment Companies."</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">SCFC's primary investment objective is to provide stockholders with current income, and to a lesser extent capital appreciation. We attempt to achieve our investment objectives through investments in preferred equity, subordinated debt, convertible securities and, to a lesser extent, common equity primarily in the U.S. community bank sector. We may also invest in similar securities of larger U.S. domiciled banks and companies that provide goods and/or services to banking companies. Together with banks, we refer to these types of companies as banking-related and intend, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80% of the value of our net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in such businesses. There is no guarantee that we will achieve our investment objective.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Note 2 &#151; Significant accounting policies</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by SCFC in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S.GAAP") and requires the Board of Directors, inclusive of the sub-committees, and the Advisor to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Cash and Cash Equivalents</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; SCFC considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Investment Valuation</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; The most significant estimates made in the preparation of the Company's financial statements are the valuation of equity and debt investments and the effective yield calculation with respect to certain debt securities, as well as the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments that SCFC makes. The Company is required to specifically fair value each individual investment on a quarterly basis.</font></p>

<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Company complies with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes the following three-tier fair value hierarchy:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 1 &#151; Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 2 &#151; Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an active market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data; and</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 3 &#151; Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">To the extent securities owned by the Company are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by SCFC in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, SCFC's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. SCFC uses prices and </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">SCFC will determine fair value of its assets and liabilities in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by its Board of Directors. The Company may utilize the services of one or more regionally or nationally recognized independent valuation firms to help it determine the value of each investment for which a market price is not available. SCFC's Board will also review valuations of such investments provided by the Advisor. Securities for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at "market value." If a market value cannot be obtained or if SCFC's Advisor determines that the value of a security as so obtained does not represent a fair value as of the measurement date (due to a significant development subsequent to the time its price is determined or otherwise), fair value shall be determined pursuant to the methodologies established by our Board of Directors. In making these determinations, the Company may engage an independent valuation firm from time to time to assist in determining the fair value of our investments. The methods for valuing these investments may include fundamental analysis, discounts from market prices of similar securities, purchase price of securities, subsequent private transactions in the security or related securities, or discounts applied to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities, as well as a combination of these and other factors.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Investment in Credit Securitization.</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> On October 15, 2015, SCFC made an investment in Community Funding CLO, Ltd. ("Community Funding") a credit securitization. SCFC purchased $45.5 million of Preferred Shares issued by Community Funding.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Community Funding was structured in two tranches: $205.0 million of senior secured Class A Notes rated A3 by Moody's Investors Service and $45.5 million of unrated Preferred Shares, for a total issuance of $250.5 million. The collateral has an average yield of 7.00% and the Class A Notes initially pay a fixed rate coupon of 5.75%. The net proceeds were primarily used to fund direct capital investments into 35 community and regional banks from 24 different states. The capital issued to the banks was predominantly in the form of subordinated loans that rank senior in priority to Trust Preferred Securities, TARP, SBLF, Preferred Shares and Common Shares.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">SCFC was the sole purchaser of the $45.5 million Preferred Shares, funding their purchase with portfolio securities and cash. Income received by SCFC from its investments in the Preferred Shares is characterized as ordinary income. Income from the investment in Community Funding is recorded based upon an estimate of effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. SCFC monitors the expected cash flows from its investment in Community Funding and the effective yield is determined and updated as needed. The Preferred Shares receive the remaining cash flows generated from the pooled transaction after expenses are paid. Expenses consist of administrative expenses and interest expense on the Class A notes, as well as,a service fee paid to StoneCastle Investment Management, LLC, an affiliate of StoneCastle Asset Management, StoneCastle Financial Corp.'s advisor. StoneCastle Asset Management, LLC ("The Servicer") rebates the entire service fee to SCFC quarterly. For the year ended December 31, 2017 this amounted to $250,000.</font></p>

<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The fair value of the credit securitization is determined using market price quotations (where observable) and other observable market inputs. When using market price quotations from brokers, fair value is calculated using the average of two or more indicative broker quotes obtained as of the valuation date. When quotations are unobservable, internal valuation models (typically including discounted cash flow analysis and comparable analysis) are employed. Credit securitizations are generally categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the availability of broker quotes and observable inputs. At December 31, 2017, SCFC's investment in Community Funding was valued on the basis of the average of two broker quotes.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Preferred and Trust Preferred Securities.</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> The fair value of preferred securities and trust preferred securities is generally determined using market price quotations (where observable) and other observable market inputs (including recently executed transactions).When using market price quotations from brokers, fair value is calculated using the average of two or more indicative broker quotes obtained as of the valuation date. When quotations are unobservable, internal valuation models (typically including discounted cash flow analysis and comparable analysis) are employed. Perpetual preferred securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the availability of observable inputs.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Debt Securities.</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> Under procedures established by our Board of Directors, we value secured debt, unsecured debt, senior term loans, subordinated term loans and other debt securities, for which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers if available. If not available or when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Our independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 2 and Level 3 categorized assets. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our Board of Directors. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Equity Securities.</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> SCFC may invest in equity securities (including exchange traded funds) for which bid and ask prices can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the marketplace participants are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the marketplace participants are willing to accept for an asset. The Company's policy for listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date is generally to value the security using the last reported "bid" price if held long, and last reported "ask" price if sold short. Equity securities are generally categorized as Level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on trading volume levels.</font></p>

Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are recorded on a daily basis using the effective yield method except for short term securities, which records discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis.

Distributions, if any, of net short-term capital gain and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over the short-term capital loss) realized by SCFC, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers are declared and paid to shareholders at least annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.</font></p>

For its services as the investment advisor, SCFC pays the Advisor a fee at the annual rate of 1.75% of total assets. SCFC will pay the management fee quarterly in arrears, and it will be equal to 0.4375% (1.75% annualized) of our assets at the end of such quarter, including cash and cash equivalents and assets purchased with borrowings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Pursuant to an agreement between SCFC and the Advisor, the Advisor agreed to waive $115,000 representing a portion of the management fee that would otherwise be payable to the Advisor for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. As per the agreement, this fee may be recaptured by the Adviser for a period of one year ending December 31, 2017 to the extent net income earned by SCFC exceeds $0.39 per share in any quarter. This fee was recaptured in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">SCFC currently pays each Director who is not an officer or employee of the Advisor a fee of $55,000 per annum, plus $1,500 for each in-person meeting of the Board of Directors or committee meeting. The chairman of SCFC's audit committee and the Lead Independent Director are each to be paid an additional amount not expected to exceed $10,000 per year. Directors do not receive any pension or retirement plan benefits and are not part of any profit sharing plan. Interested Directors do not receive any compensation from SCFC.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">For the year ended December 31, 2017, (i) the cost of purchases was $29,515,406, (ii) the sales and redemptions of securities was $62,327,500.At December 31, 2017, the aggregate cost basis of securities for federal income tax purposes was $169,569,590 and the aggregate net unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value was $2,658,044 (gross unrealized appreciation $891,423; gross unrealized depreciation $3,549,467).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, SCFC is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Because federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statement to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">SCFC has followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires SCFC to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. SCFC has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, SCFC is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Risks are inherent in all investing. The following summarizes some, but not all, of the risks that should be considered for the Company. For additional information about the risks associated with investing in the Company, please see the Company's prospectus as well as other Company regulatory filings.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Investment and Market Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; An investment in the Company's common shares ("Common Shares") is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal invested. Common Shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Company dividends and distributions. The Company expects to utilize leverage, which will magnify investment risk.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Preferred and Debt Securities Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; Preferred and debt securities in which the Company invests are subject to various risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, call/prepayment risk and reinvestment risk. In addition, preferred securities are subject to certain other risks, including deferral and omission risk, subordination risk, limited voting rights risk and special redemption rights risk.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Credit Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; The Company is subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer of a security may be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a security may decline because of concerns about the issuer's ability or willingness to make such payments.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Leverage Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; The use of leverage by the Company can magnify the effect of any losses. If the income and gains from the securities and investments purchased with leverage proceeds do not cover the cost of leverage, the return on the Common Shares will be less than if leverage had not been used. Moreover, leverage involves risks and special considerations for holders of Common Shares including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Common Shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage, and the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and short-term debt or in the dividend rates on any preferred shares issued by the Company will reduce the return to the holders of Common Shares or will result in fluctuations in the dividends paid on the Common Shares. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful. See Note 7 for additional information on leverage.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Call/Prepayment and Reinvestment Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; If an issuer of a security exercises an option to redeem its issue at par or prepay principal earlier than scheduled, the Company may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. A decline in income could affect the Common Shares' market price or the overall return of the Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Risks of Concentration in the Banking industry/Financial Sector</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; Because the Company concentrates in the banking industry and may invest up to 100% of its managed assets in the banking industry and financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the banking industry and financials sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Regulatory Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; Financial institutions, including community banks, are subject to various state and federal banking regulations that impact how they conduct business, including but not limited to how they obtain funding.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">term investments in financial institutions that are subject to various state and federal regulations and oversight. Congress, state legislatures and the various bank regulatory agencies frequently introduce proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry in response to the Dodd-Frank Act, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") rulemaking or otherwise. The likelihood and timing of any proposals or legislation and the impact they might have on our investments in financial institutions affected by such changes cannot be determined and any such changes may be adverse to our investments. Federal banking regulators recently proposed amended regulatory capital regulations in response to The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and Basel Ill protocols which would impose even more stringent capital requirements. In the event that a regulated bank falls below certain capital adequacy standards, it may become subject to regulatory intervention including, but not limited to, being placed into a FDIC-administered receivership or conservatorship. The effect of inadequate capital can have a potentially adverse consequence on the institution's financial condition, its ability to operate as a going concern and its ability to operate as a regulated financial institution and may have a material adverse impact on our investments.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Interest Rate Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; The Company is subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the preferred and debt securities in which the Company invests will decline in value because of rising market interest rates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Convertible Securities/Contingent Convertible Securities Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common stock. Contingent convertible securities provide for mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero; and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening standing in a bankruptcy. In addition, some such instruments have a set stock conversion rate that would cause a reduction in value of the security if the price of the stock is below the conversion price on the conversion date.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b><i>Illiquid and Restricted Securities Risk</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"> &#151; Investment of the Company's assets in illiquid and restricted securities may restrict the Company's ability to take advantage of market opportunities. Illiquid and restricted securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Company believes it is desirable to do so. The market price of illiquid and restricted securities generally is more volatile than that of more liquid securities, which may adversely affect the price that the Company pays for or recovers upon the sale of such securities. Illiquid and restricted securities are also more difficult to value, especially in challenging markets. The risks associated with illiquid and restricted securities may be particularly acute in situations in which the Company's operations require cash and could result in the Company borrowing to meet its short-term needs or incurring losses on the sale of illiquid or restricted securities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Note 7 &#151; Revolving Credit Agreement</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">On June 9, 2014, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (collectively, the "Syndicates") to borrow up to $45,000,000.

<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">On May 25, 2017, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to the following terms:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Facility is now solely funded by Texas Capital Bank, located in Dallas, Texas.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;The cost of the Facility has decreased to a significantly lower credit spread of LIBOR+2.35%, down from Libor +2.85%.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;The maturity date of the facility has been extended for five years to May 16, 2022.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;The size of the Facility has been adjusted from $70 million to $62 million, reflecting the maximum amount the Company can borrow based on current assets and internal guidelines.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the prior facility, the Company was required to maintain a deposit account of $3.5 million of cash with the lead lender. The $3.5 million account is no longer required.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Facility is rated "A3" by Moody's Investor Services. The Facility remains secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">As of December 31, 2017, $25,750,000 has been committed and drawn and is at fair value. Such borrowings constitute financial leverage. The Agreement has a five year term and a stated maturity of May 2022 and was priced at LIBOR +2.35%. The Company is charged a fee of 0.50% on any undrawn commitment balance. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, negative covenants and default provisions, including covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur additional debt or consolidate or merge into or with any person, other than as permitted, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets. The covenants also impose on the Company asset coverage requirements, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Company by the Investment Company Act, as well as the Company's policies. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the average daily loan balance was $45,250,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 3.62%. With respect to these borrowings, interest of $1,765,157 is included in the Statement of Operations.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Note 8 &#151; Indemnification</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">In the normal course of business, SCFC may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of <BR>StoneCastle Financial Corp.</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Opinion on the Financial Statements</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of StoneCastle Financial Corp. (the "Company"), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2017, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period November 13, 2013 (commencement) to December 31, 2013 were each audited by other auditors, and in their opinions dated February 27, 2015 and February 24, 2014 (respectively), they each expressed unqualified opinions on said financial highlights. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of StoneCastle Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;"><b>Basis for Opinion</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2015.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually. It is the Company's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to "regulated investment companies" or "RICs" and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Company may at times pay out more or less than distributable income earned in any particular quarter. The Company's current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">We have a common stock dividend reinvestment plan for our stockholders. Our plan is implemented as an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan. As a result, if a stockholder participates in our Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") all distributions will automatically be reinvested in additional common stock (unless a stockholder is ineligible or elects otherwise). If a stockholder opts out of the Plan, such stockholder will receive distributions in cash. If a stockholder holds shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, the stockholder may not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those of the Plan.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">In the case that newly issued shares of our common stock are used to implement the Plan, the number of shares of common stock to be delivered to a participating stockholder shall be determined by (i) dividing the total dollar amount of the dividends payable to such stockholder by (ii) 97% of the average market prices per share of common stock at the close of regular trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the five trading days immediately prior to the valuation date to be fixed by our Board of Directors.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">In the case that shares repurchased on the open market are used to implement the Plan, the number of shares of common stock to be delivered to a participating stockholder shall be determined by dividing (i) the total dollar amount of the dividends payable to such stockholder by (ii) the weighted average purchase price of such shares.</font></p>

<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as we are trading at a premium to net asset value). If our shares are trading at a significant enough discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we intend to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan. However, we reserve the right to issue new shares of our common stock in connection with our obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if our shares are trading below net asset value. Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that a stockholder does not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions. Capital gains and income are realized although cash is not received by the stockholder.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:32pt;">Board Approval of the Management Agreement</font></p>
</div>
<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">At a meeting held on September 7, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors, including those Directors who are not "interested persons" as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Independent Directors"), reviewed and unanimously approved the continuance of the management agreement (the "Management Agreement") between the Company and StoneCastle Asset Management, LLC (the "Advisor").</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">Prior to approval of the continuance of the Management Agreement, the Directors had requested from the Advisor, and received and evaluated, extensive materials. They reviewed the proposed continuance of the Management Agreement with experienced counsel who is independent of the Advisor, who advised on the relevant legal standards.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Directors considered the services provided by the Advisor to the Company. The Directors considered the Advisor's personnel and the depth of the Advisor's personnel who possess the experience to provide investment management services to the Company. Based on the information provided by the Advisor, the Directors concluded that (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Management Agreement, (ii) the quality of those services has been consistent with industry norms, (iii) the Company is likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services by the Advisor, (iv) the Advisor has sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the Company effectively and has demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and (v) the satisfactory nature, extent, and quality of services currently provided to the Company and its stockholders is likely to continue. In addition, the Board noted the Advisor's expertise in, and numerous relationships with investment professionals within, the banking industry in which the Company concentrates.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Directors considered the overall investment performance of the Advisor and the Company since the Advisor was appointed the Company's investment adviser in November 2013. The Directors reviewed and considered the Company's performance relative to a peer group of 32 registered closed-end investment companies ("CEIC") and business development companies ("BDCs") selected by the Advisor that operate in a similar manner as the Company (the "Peer Group") noting, however, the limited usefulness of such information in light of the Company's unique investment strategy and industry focus. The Directors also reviewed and considered the Company's performance based on market price and net asset value versus the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (the "Aggregate Bond Index") and the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (the "High Yield Index") for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and since inception (November 13, 2013) through June 30, 2017. The Directors noted that the indices were selected by the Advisor for comparison purposes because the indices' constituents had similar characteristics to those securities in which the Company may invest but acknowledged that no index was likely to correspond to the Company's holdings in light of the Company's unique investment strategy. The Directors noted that: (a) based on net asset value, the Company outperformed both indices for the six months ended June 30, 2017 </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">and since inception (November 13, 2013 through June 30, 2017), and underperformed the High Yield Index and outperformed the Aggregate Bond Index for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016; and (b) based on market price, the Company outperformed both indices for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016 and underperformed both indices since inception (November 13, 2013 through June 30, 2017) and outperformed both indices for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Directors also noted their review and evaluation of the Company's investment performance on an on-going basis throughout the year.The Directors considered the consistency of performance results and the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and recognized that such performance was impacted by, among other things, the limited operating history of the Company, issuer prepayment and calls and the time lag required for the initial deployment and subsequent redeployments of assets. They concluded that the performance of the Company and the Advisor represented satisfactory performance in light of the Company's investment objective and strategy.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Directors considered the costs of the services provided by the Advisor, the compensation and benefits received by the Advisor in providing services to the Company, as well as the Advisor's profitability. The Directors were provided with and had reviewed the Advisor's unaudited balance sheet and income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016. The Directors noted that the Advisor appeared to be a viable concern generally and as investment adviser of the Company specifically, notwithstanding that the Advisor's profitability analysis indicated that the Advisor was not currently earning a profit in its capacity as investment adviser to the Company. The Directors concluded that the Advisor's fees and profits (if any) derived from its relationship with the Company in light of the Company's expenses were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided, taking into account the fees charged by other investment advisers of CEICs and BDCs in the Peer Group. The Directors noted that the Company's management fee was in line with the average and median management fee of the Peer Group and, specifically, with two registered CEICs in the Peer Group. The Directors also concluded that the overall expense ratio of the Company (lower than the peer group median and average) was reasonable, taking into account the size of the Company, the quality of services provided by the Advisor, and the investment performance of the Company. On the basis of these considerations, together, with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the advisory fee to be received by the Advisor is reasonable in light of the services provided.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Directors considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as the Company grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of stockholders. The Directors determined that economies of scale would be achieved at higher asset levels for the Company to the benefit of Company stockholders as fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset base, however, the Directors noted that the opportunity for asset growth was limited because the Company is a closed-end investment company currently trading at a discount to its NAV.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">At this time the Board noted its deliberations regarding the Advisor's services and performance from the Board meetings held throughout the year and the executive sessions, highlighting the Board's discussion of the Company's investment objective, long-term performance, investment style and process and review of the written materials provided by the Advisor. The Board also noted the high level of diligence the Board exercised throughout the year in evaluating the Advisor, and the extensive information provided with respect to the Advisor's performance and the Company's expenses on a quarterly basis.The Directors considered </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9pt 0pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica" style="font-size:9pt;">The Board concluded that the investment advisory fee rate under the Management Agreement is reasonable in relation to the services provided and that continuation of the Management Agreement is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company. The Directors also concluded that the investment advisory fees are at acceptable levels in light of the quality of services provided to the Company. On these bases, the Directors concluded that the investment advisory fees for the Company under the Management Agreement are reasonable. In arriving at their decision, the Directors did not identify any single matter as controlling, but made their determination in light of all the circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With respect to the compensation of the portfolio managers, the Advisor&#146;s compensation system assigns each employee a total compensation &#147;target&#148; and a respective cap, which are derived from annual market surveys that benchmark each role with their job function and peer universe.&#160; This method is designed to reward employees with total compensation reflective of the external market value of their skills, experience, and ability to produce desired results.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Standard compensation includes competitive base salaries, employee benefits, and a retirement plan.&#160; In addition, employees are eligible for bonuses.&#160; These are structured to closely align the interests of employees with those of StoneCastle Asset Management (&#147;Advisor&#148;), and are determined by the professional&#146;s job function and performance as measured by a formal review process.&#160; All bonuses are completely discretionary. Because the Advisor utilizes a team approach in managing the assets of its clients, the overall success of the firm is a key component in determining compensation of portfolio managers.&#160; Because portfolio managers may be responsible for multiple accounts (including ours) with similar investment strategies, they are compensated on the performance of the aggregate group of similar accounts, rather than a specific account.&#160; A smaller portion of a bonus payment is derived from factors that include client service, business development, length of service to the Advisor, management or supervisory responsibilities, contributions to developing business strategy and overall contributions to the Advisor&#146;s business.</font></p>
