This prospectus supplement contains information which amends, supplements and modifies certain information contained in the prospectus dated October 5, 2023 (the “Base Prospectus”) as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 15, 2023 (together with this prospectus supplement and the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), which relate to the sale of shares of common stock of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (the “Company”) in an “at-the-market” offering pursuant to an Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement dated September 9, 2022, as amended pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2023, with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Distribution Agent”). The Company’s investment adviser, Oxford Lane Management, LLC, has agreed to pay to the Distribution Agent, if necessary, a supplemental payment per share that will reflect the difference between the public offering price per share and the net proceeds per share received by the Company in this offering such that the net proceeds per share received by the Company (before expenses) are not below the Company’s then current net asset value per share.

You should carefully read the entire Prospectus before investing in our common stock. You should also review the information set forth under the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 15 of the Base Prospectus and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, before investing.  

The terms “Oxford Lane,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” generally refer to Oxford Lane Capital Corp.
