2 SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS First Fiscal Quarter 2016 Highlights Net increase in net assets resulting from operations (i.e. net income) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $20.6 mill ion , or $0.40 per share, as compared to $19.5 million, or $0.38 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $15.0 million, or $0.29 per share, as compared to $15.5 million, or $0.30 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Excluding a $1.4 million accrual for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP, net investment income for the quarter end ed December 31, 2015 was $16.4 million, or $0.32 1 per share, as compared to $16.3 million, or $0.32 1 per share, when excluding a $0.8 million accrual for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP for the quarter ended Septembe r 30, 2015. Net asset value per share rose from $15.80 to $15.89, the fourteenth consecutive quarterly increase. Net realized and unrealized gains on investments and secured borrowings of $5.6 million, or $0.11 per share, for the quarter end ed December 31, 2015 were the result of $5.0 million of net realized gains and $0.6 million of net unrealized appreciation. New middle - market investment commitments totaled $149.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Including investments of $15.5 million in Senior Loan Fund LLC (“SLF”), total new investment commitments were $165.4 million. Approximately 21% of the new investment commitments were senior secured loans, 69 % w ere one stop loans, 9 % were investments in SLF, and 1% were investments in equity securities. Overall, total investments in portfolio companies at fair value decreased by $1.3 million d uri ng the three months ended December 31, 2015. Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value held by SLF increased by 11.6%, or $36.8 million, during the quarter ended December 31, 201 5. 1. As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) financial measures, the Company has provided this non - GAAP performance result. The Company believes that this non - GAAP financial measure is useful as it excludes the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee which is not contractually payable under the terms of our investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors ( the “Investment Ad vis ory Agreement”). The capital gain incentive fee payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the period end ed December 31, 2015 is $0 . However, in accordance with GAAP, we are required to include aggregate unrealized appreciation on investments in the calculat ion and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Although this non - GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, this non - GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. Refer to slide 3 for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure, net investment income per share.

The net investment income (“NII”) annualized return on average equity is calculated as (a) the net investment income for the per iod presented divided by (b) the daily average of total net assets. 2. The net income annualized return on average equity is calculated as (a) the net increase in assets resulting from operations for the period presented divided by (b) the daily average of total net assets. 3. As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided this non - GAAP performance result. The Company believes that this non - GAAP financial measure is useful as it excludes the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee whi ch is not contractually payable under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The capital gain incentive fee payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the period ended December 31 , 2 015 is $0. However, in accordance with GAAP, we are required to include aggregate unrealized appreciation on investments in t he calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted t o b e considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Although this non - GAAP financial m easure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, this non - GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to GAAP . The NII before accrual for capital gain incentive fee annualized return on average equity is calculated as (a) the net inve stm ent income before the reduction for the accrual for capital gain incentive fee for the period presented divided by (b) the Company’s net assets before taking into account any incentive fees payable . 3

Adoption of ASU 2015 - 03 requires the changes to be applied retrospectively. 2.
