Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  On April 1, 2010, ARCC Odyssey Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Capital Corporation ("Ares Capital"), was mergerd with and into Allied Capital Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 26, 2009, among the Company, Ares Capital and ARCC Odyssey Corp. (the "Merger Agreement"). Immediately thereafter, Allied Capital merged with and into Ares Capital. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Company stockholder received 0.325 shares of Ares Capital common stock for each share of Company common stock owned (the "Exchange Ratio").
( 2)  This option, which vested on May 13, 2009, was cancelled in connection with the merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the product of (1) the excess of the option closing amount (calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the five-day average closing price of Ares Capital multiplied by 0.325, the Exchange Ratio, or $4.758 per share) over the exercise price per share for such option multiplied by (2) the total number of shares of Company common stock subject to such option.
