The Fund made its initial investment in Spectrum in December 1999. Based on a stabilization of operations beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2013, the Fund utilized a market approach in determining fair value, in lieu of an asset approach applying a liquidation
analysis that had been used previously. The Fund also received advice and assistance from a third-party valuation firm to support
its valuation methodology and calculations. The fair value of the Fund&rsquo;s holdings in Spectrum increased from $2.9 million
at December 31, 2013 to $3.0 million at March 31, 2014. The Fund also increased its accrued interest receivable in connection with
this investment by $0.2 million during the quarter, to a total of $0.3 million. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

Company Act of 1940. The reorganization also involved the sale by Equus of 2,112,000 shares of its common stock to MVC Capital,
Inc. (NYSE: MVC) (&ldquo;MVC&rdquo;) in exchange for the Fund receiving 395,839 shares of MVC. The number of MVC shares that were
received by Equus is subject to adjustment following MVC's release of its Form 10-Q, which will include its published net asset
value per share for the quarter ended </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

the reorganization, Equus intends to pursue a merger or consolidation with MVC, or a subsidiary of MVC, or one or more of MVC&rsquo;s
portfolio companies (the &ldquo;Consolidation&rdquo;). Absent Equus merging or consolidating with/into MVC, the current intention
is for Equus to (i) consummate the Consolidation, (ii) terminate its election to be classified as a business development company
under the 1940 Act, and (iii) be restructured as a publicly-traded operating company focused on the energy and/or financial services
sector. If, as a result of the Consolidation, Equus is transformed into an operating company, Equus intends to ensure that it satisfies
the continued listing criteria for operating companies pursuant to applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange.</P>
