Important Information for Investors and Stockholders
This communication is for informational purposes only and does

nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except

to which it pertains or for any other document that GECC or the Company may file with the SEC and send to the Company’s
stockholders in connection with the proposed transactions. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT-PROSPECTUS
AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus (when available)
and other documents filed with the SEC by GECC or the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

or by contacting the Company at 203-900-2100.
The Company, MAST and Great Elm and their respective directors
and their respective executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposed

Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Information about the directors and executive officers of Great Elm

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this communication regarding the proposed
merger and the business of the combined company including statements regarding the expected timetable for completing the merger,
benefits of the transaction, statements regarding the combined company, its investment plans, policies and expected results and
any other statements regarding the Company’s, MAST’s, Great Elm’s and the combined company’s expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, financial conditions, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are often, but not always,
made through the use of words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should,"
"planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated," "aim," "target,"
"opportunity," "tentative," "positioning," "designed," "create," "seek,"
"would," "could", "potential," "continue," "ongoing," "upside," "increases,"
and "potential," and similar expressions. All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that
are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed
in the statements. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements are the following: the timing to consummate the proposed transactions; the risk that a condition to closing the proposed
transactions may not be satisfied; the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals by the Company
and the Company's stockholders, governmental or regulatory agencies and third parties; the combined company’s ability to
achieve the synergies, recurring net investment income and value creation contemplated by the proposed transactions; uncertainty
as to whether the combined company will be able to perform as well as funds managed by MAST; uncertainty as to the integration,
prospects, distributions and investment performance of the combined company; the ability of each company to retain its senior executives
and maintain relationships with business partners pending consummation of the merger; the impact of legislative, regulatory and
competitive changes; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues. There can be no assurance that the merger
will in fact be consummated. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in GECC’s registration
statement and proxy/prospectus (when filed) as well as in the Company’s and Great Elm’s respective filings with the
SEC, including Great Elm’s (filed as Unwired Planet’s) April 2016 proxy statement. Each of the Company, MAST, Great
Elm and GECC assume no obligation, and expressly disclaim any duty to, update any forward-looking statements contained in this
document or to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations except as required by law. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.
