Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Those statements are made based on various underlying assumptions and are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, including, without limitation: our continued effectiveness in raising, investing and managing capital; adverse changes in the economy generally or in the industries in which our portfolio companies operate; changes in laws and regulations that may adversely impact our operations or the operations of one or more of our portfolio companies; the operating and financial performance of our portfolio companies; retention of key investment personnel; competitive factors; and such other factors described under the captions “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov).

Distributable net investment income is net investment income, as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure of information for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance.

MAIN is a Principal Investor in Private Debt and Equity Equity investments in LMM portfolio provide both the opportunity to grow net asset value (NAV) and generate realized gains to support dividend growth NAV growth of $8.33 per share (or 65%) since 2007 Cumulative net realized gains from portfolio investments of $32.6 million since Initial Public Offering Approximately $3.27 per share in cumulative, pre-tax net unrealized appreciation at March 31, 2016 Realized gains provide taxable income in excess of net investment income and fund supplemental dividends Internally managed operating structure provides significant operating leverage Favorable ratio of total operating expenses, excluding interest expense, to average total assets of approximately 1.4%(1) Greater portion of gross portfolio returns are delivered to our shareholders Significant positive impact to Net Investment Income Alignment of interests between MAIN management and our shareholders Focus on LMM equity investments and efficient operating structure differentiates MAIN and provides opportunity for significant total returns for our shareholders Based upon the trailing twelve month period ended March 31, 2016

MAIN Strategy Produces Differentiated Returns Three Pronged Value Proposition – Three Ways to Win are Better Than One Sustain and Grow Regular Monthly Dividends 64% increase from $0.33 per share in Q4 2007 to declared dividend of $0.54 per share in Q3 2016 Efficient operating structure provides operating leverage to grow distributable net investment income as investment portfolio and total investment income grow Never decreased regular monthly dividend (including through 2008/2009 recession) or paid a return of capital distribution Paid or declared $15.60 per share in regular monthly dividends since October 2007 IPO Most of MAIN’s peers generate virtually all of their total return through regular dividends Multi-faceted investment strategy supports growth over various cycles and markets Supplement Regular Monthly Dividends with Semi-Annual Supplemental Dividends Paid or declared $2.18 per share in supplemental dividends since 2012, resulting in total dividends paid or declared of $17.78 since October 2007 IPO at $15.00 per share Transitioned to semi-annual supplemental dividend interval vs. annual interval in 2013 Primarily the product of realized gains on LMM equity investment component of strategy (analogous to PIK income on debt investments from cash flow perspective, but more tax efficient and without a cap on upside) Meaningfully Grow Net Asset Value (“NAV”) Per Share $12.85 at December 31, 2007 to $21.18 at March 31, 2016 – 65% growth; CAGR of 6.2% Primarily generated through retained earnings(1) (~25%) and accretive offerings (~75%) Represents incremental economic return to investors beyond dividends MAIN’s debt-focused peers (which comprises most BDCs) cannot generate NAV per share growth through the cycles Unrealized appreciation is good proxy for future dividend growth without need for additional capital through growing portfolio dividend income and harvested realized gains from equity investments Ability to grow NAV per share provides opportunity for MAIN stock share price appreciation and additional shareholder returns Retained earnings includes cumulative net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation, net of cumulative dividends
