MSC Income Fund, Inc. Files Definitive Proxy Statement in Connection with Potential Listing of its Shares on a National Securities Exchange

HOUSTON – September 10, 2024 – Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”) is pleased to announce that MSC Income Fund, Inc. (“MSC Income”), a non-listed business development company (“BDC”) for which Main Street’s wholly owned registered investment adviser, MSC Adviser I, LLC (“MSC Adviser”), serves as the investment adviser and administrator, recently filed a Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Definitive Special Proxy Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with an upcoming Special Meeting of MSC Income shareholders (the “MSC Income Special Meeting”). The Definitive Special Proxy Statement details a series of proposals which Main Street and MSC Income believe will position MSC Income to effectuate a listing of its shares of common stock on a national securities exchange (such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market) (a “Listing”), which may be accompanied by a follow-on public offering of MSC Income’s shares, in each case if and when market conditions make it desirable to do so and if it is otherwise in MSC Income’s and its shareholders’ best interest.

In commenting on the Definitive Special Proxy Statement, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to be very excited about the potential changes at MSC Income Fund that are detailed in its recent Definitive Special Proxy Statement filing, which are the result of our continued efforts to find the best long-term outcome for all MSC Income Fund stakeholders. We believe that the planned activities and changes represent significant catalysts to the future growth of MSC Income Fund and strengthen its ability to continue to

provide its shareholders with an attractive recurring and growing quarterly dividend and favorable total shareholder returns through a transition of MSC Income Fund’s investment strategy and investment portfolio to be solely focused on its private loan investment strategy. We also understand that an option for liquidity is a valuable feature of any investment, so we are pleased that the Definitive Special Proxy Statement is a significant step in providing all MSC Income Fund shareholders the benefits of an equity security that is listed on a national securities exchange.”

Mr. Hyzak continued, “At the same time, we believe these planned activities and changes provide significant future benefits to Main Street’s asset management business through the opportunity to grow the management fees that our wholly owned adviser receives from MSC Income Fund as it executes its growth plans. The changes also increase the future growth potential of our lower middle market investment portfolio as a result of MSC Income Fund’s planned transition to a private loan only investment strategy. We look forward to sharing additional details of the expected future benefits to the shareholders of both Main Street and MSC Income Fund and the potential timing of a Listing and to executing on the plans detailed in MSC Income Fund’s Definitive Special Proxy Statement.”

Main Street believes that a Listing, and actions taken in connection therewith, would provide several benefits to MSC Income stakeholders, including, but not limited to the following:

•an opportunity for the significant growth of MSC Income through near-term access to additional capital through the public capital markets;

•significant benefits for MSC Income’s shareholders associated with an investment strategy intended to generate an attractive recurring and growing quarterly dividend through an intentional transition of MSC Income’s investment strategy and investment portfolio to be solely focused on its private loan investment strategy, rather than its current focus primarily on its private loan investment strategy and secondarily on its lower middle market investment strategy; and

•a path to an option for full liquidity for those existing MSC Income shareholders who desire such an option.

A Listing would also provide MSC Income with the longer-term opportunity to access additional leverage capacity through a potential future reduction in its minimum asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150%, subject to future approval of the MSC Income board of directors or MSC Income’s shareholders, which would allow MSC Income to further optimize its leverage profile and shareholder returns and support the future growth of its investment portfolio. Effective upon a Listing, MSC Income and MSC Adviser would amend their existing investment advisory agreement to better align with MSC Income’s transition to focus on its private loan investment strategy, including changes to the base management fee and incentive fee structures. The transactions and changes contemplated in the Definitive Special Proxy Statement, including the proposed amendment of MSC Income’s investment advisory agreement with MSC Adviser, have been approved by MSC Income’s board of directors, but remain subject to approval of MSC Income’s shareholders.

For more information on the Definitive Special Proxy Statement and the related MSC Income activities, including a supplemental presentation outlining the details of MSC Income’s potential Listing and the potential impacts to Main Street, we encourage our investors to visit the Presentations section of the Main Street website at https://www.mainstcapital.com/investors/news-events/presentations.
