&#147;PTMN&#148;) reported that it expects to implement the previously announced <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-for-10</FONT></FONT> reverse stock split effective Thursday, August&nbsp;26, 2021 with trading to
begin on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on that day. Trading in the common stock will continue on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol &#147;PTMN&#148; but the security will be assigned a new CUSIP number. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reverse stock split was approved by Portman Ridge&#146;s shareholders at its annual stockholders&#146; meeting held on June&nbsp;7, 2021, and on
August&nbsp;4, 2021, a reverse stock split ratio of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-for-10</FONT></FONT> shares was approved by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of the Company&#146;s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted
into one share of issued and outstanding common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock
split will receive cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares. The reverse stock split affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder&#146;s percentage interest in the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock, except for
adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company&#146;s certificate of
incorporation will also be amended to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock from 100&nbsp;million shares to 20&nbsp;million shares. Additional information regarding the reverse stock split can be found in the
Company&#146;s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April&nbsp;23, 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Portman Ridge Finance
