0.9%, compared to $33.92 per share as of June 30, 2026 and $0.89 per share, or 2.7%, compared to $33.33

per share as of December 31, 2025

•Completed $61.5 million in total lower middle market (“LMM”) portfolio investments, including

investments totaling $39.3 million in a new portfolio company, which after aggregate repayments, return of

invested equity capital and a decrease in cost basis due to a realized loss resulted in a net decrease of $19.4

million in the total cost basis of the LMM investment portfolio

•Completed $162.0 million in total private loan portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments,

return of invested equity capital and a decrease in cost basis due to realized losses resulted in a net decrease

of $1.8 million in the total cost basis of the private loan investment portfolio

•Further enhanced our liquidity position as a result of one of our wholly-owned SBIC-licensed investment

funds receiving SBA approval to increase its borrowing capacity for SBIC debentures by $75.0 million to a

total of $250.0 million (with SBIC and SBA each as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section

below); when combined with our other wholly-owned SBIC licensed investment fund, this provides us

access to $425.0 million of the recently increased $475.0 million of regulatory maximum SBIC debenture

borrowing capacity for affiliated SBIC funds, and we expect to obtain and subsequently maintain SBIC

debentures in the future in an amount up to the regulatory maximum amount allowed

In commenting on the Company’s operating results for the third quarter of 2026, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main

Street’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter, which

resulted in another quarter of strong operating results, including an annualized return on equity of 14.7%,

distributable net investment income before taxes per share that was in line with our expectations and prior

guidance provided on our last conference call and an increase in net asset value per share. We believe that these

results continue to demonstrate the sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated

and diversified investment strategies and the continued underlying strength and quality of our portfolio

companies.”

Mr. Hyzak continued, “Our strong third quarter results and continued positive outlook for the future resulted in

the declaration of another $0.30 per share supplemental dividend to be paid in December 2026, representing our

twenty-first consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend, to go with the 13 increases to our regular monthly

dividends declared since the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, after several recent positive capital structure

activities, we continue to maintain strong liquidity and a conservative leverage profile, which we believe is

important in the current economic environment. We remain confident that our diversified lower middle market

and private loan investment strategies, together with the benefits of our asset management business, cost

efficient operating structure and conservative capital structure, will allow us to continue to deliver superior

results for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2026 Operating Results

The following table provides a summary of our operating results for the third quarter of 2026:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2026		2025		Change		Change (%)
	(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Interest income	$111,863		$103,286		$8,577		8%
Dividend income	25,525		31,263		(5,738)		(18)%

The $2.7 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter of 2026 from the comparable period of

the prior year was principally attributable to an $8.6 million increase in interest income, primarily due to higher

average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt investments, partially offset by the negative

impact from investment portfolio debt investments on non-accrual status and a decrease in interest rates,

primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index rates on floating rate investment portfolio debt

investments. This increase in interest income was partially offset by a $5.7 million decrease in dividend income,

primarily due to a $6.9 million decrease in dividend income from our LMM portfolio companies and a $0.5

million decrease in dividend income from our External Investment Manager (as defined in the External

Investment Manager section below), partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in dividend income from our

private loan portfolio companies. The $2.7 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter of

2026 includes the impact of an increase of $1.8 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-

recurring, primarily related to increases of (i) $1.4 million in such dividend income and (ii) $0.7 million in such

fee income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in such interest income from accelerated prepayment,

repricing and other activity related to certain investment portfolio debt investments, in each case when

compared to the same period in 2025.

Total cash expenses(4) increased $6.7 million, or 15.2%, to $50.9 million in the third quarter of 2026 from

$44.1 million for the same period in 2025. This increase in total cash expenses(4) was principally attributable to

a $6.4 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to (i) an

increase in average borrowings outstanding used to fund a portion of the growth of our investment portfolio and

(ii) an increased weighted-average interest rate on our unsecured debt obligations resulting from borrowing and

refinancing activities, partially offset by a decreased weighted-average interest rate on our Credit Facilities (as

defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below) due to decreases in benchmark index rates.

Non-cash compensation expenses(4) decreased $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 from the comparable

period of the prior year, primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in deferred compensation expense, partially

offset by a $0.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense.

4

Our Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio (which includes non-cash compensation expenses(4)) on an annualized

basis was 1.2% for the third quarter of 2026, a decrease from 1.4% for the third quarter of 2025.

NII related federal and state income and other tax expenses decreased $0.7 million and excise tax expense

decreased $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting in a decrease

in tax expenses included in NII of $1.2 million. The decrease in NII related federal and state income and other

tax expenses was due to a decrease in taxable NII between the comparable periods and the decrease in excise

tax was due to a decrease in undistributed taxable income as of September 30, 2026.

The $2.7 million decrease in NII and the $2.8 million decrease in DNII(1) in the third quarter of 2026 from the

comparable period of the prior year were both principally attributable to an increase in total cash expenses,(4)

partially offset by (i) the increase in total investment income and (ii) the decrease in NII related tax expenses,

each as discussed above. NII and DNII(1) on a per share basis decreased by $0.08 per share and $0.07 per share,

respectively, for the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the third quarter of 2025, to $0.89 per share and $0.96

per share, respectively. These decreases include the impact of a 4.6% increase in the weighted-average shares

outstanding compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to shares issued since the beginning of the

comparable period of the prior year through our (i) at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program, (ii)

dividend reinvestment plan and (iii) equity incentive compensation plans. The decreases in NII and DNII(1) on a

per share basis in the third quarter of 2026 are after a net increase of $0.02 per share primarily resulting from an

increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the third

quarter of 2025, as discussed above.

The $117.1 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the third quarter of 2026 represents a

$6.6 million decrease from the third quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of (i) a $2.9 million

decrease in the net fair value change of our portfolio investments resulting from the net impact of net realized

gains/losses and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, with the decrease resulting from a net fair value

increase of $40.9 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to a net fair value increase of $43.9 million in

the prior year, (ii) a $2.7 million decrease in NII as discussed above and (iii) a $0.9 million increase in the net

tax provision on the net fair value change of our portfolio investments, resulting from a net tax provision of

$7.7 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to a net tax provision of $6.7 million in the comparable

period of the prior year. The $40.9 million net fair value increase in the third quarter of 2026 was the result of

net unrealized appreciation (including the reversal of net unrealized depreciation recognized in prior periods due

to the net realized loss in the quarter) of $68.5 million, partially offset by a net realized loss of $27.6 million.

The $43.9 million net fair value increase in the third quarter of 2025 was the result of net unrealized

appreciation of $63.0 million, partially offset by a net realized loss of $19.1 million. The $27.6 million net

realized loss from investments for the third quarter of 2026 was primarily the result of (i) a $15.0 million

realized loss on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment, (ii) an $11.3 million realized loss on the restructure

of a private loan portfolio investment, (iii) a $6.5 million loss on the partial exit of a private loan portfolio

investment, (iv) a $5.7 million realized loss on the partial exit of a LMM portfolio investment and (v)

$3.4 million of realized losses on the full exits of two middle market portfolio investments, partially offset by (i)

a $6.9 million realized gain on the full exit of a private loan portfolio investment, (ii) a $2.4 million realized

gain on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment, (iii) a $1.3 million realized gain on a distribution from a

private loan portfolio investment and (iv) a $0.7 million realized gain on the partial exit of an other portfolio

investment.

Investment Portfolio Information as of September 30, 2026(5)

The following table provides a summary of the investments in our LMM portfolio and private loan portfolio as

of September 30, 2026:

		September 30, 2026
		LMM (a)		Private Loan
		(dollars in millions)
Number of portfolio companies		92		86
Fair value		$3,250.1		$2,107.3
Cost		$2,530.2		$2,129.5
Debt investments as a % of portfolio (at cost)		71.5%		93.3%
Equity investments as a % of portfolio (at cost)		28.5%		6.7%
% of debt investments at cost secured by first priority lien		99.5%		99.3%
Weighted-average annual effective yield (b)		12.7%		10.4%
Average EBITDA (c)		$12.2		$43.2

___________________________

(a)We had equity ownership in all of our LMM portfolio companies, and our average fully diluted equity

ownership in those portfolio companies was 36%.

(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt

investments as of September 30, 2026, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and

accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt investments and

any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each

applicable debt investment as of September 30, 2026.

7

(c)The average EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is calculated using

a simple average for the LMM portfolio companies and a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio

companies. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including five LMM portfolio

companies and five private loan portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for

our investments in these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to

own real estate and those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual

value remains.

The fair value of our LMM portfolio company equity investments was 206% of the related cost basis of such

equity investments, and our LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing

debt through our debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA ratio of 2.6 to 1.0 and a median total

EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.8 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to our debt

position, these median ratios were 2.6 to 1.0 and 2.8 to 1.0, respectively.(5)(6)

As of September 30, 2026, our investment portfolio also included:

•Other portfolio investments in 32 entities across 12 investment managers, collectively totaling $146.7

million in fair value and $156.7 million in cost basis, which comprised 2.5% and 3.2% of our investment

portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively;

•Middle market portfolio investments in nine portfolio companies, collectively totaling $73.5 million in fair

value and $113.0 million in cost basis, which comprised 1.3% and 2.3% of our investment portfolio at fair

value and cost, respectively; and

•Our investment in the External Investment Manager, with a fair value of $222.7 million and a cost basis of

$29.5 million, which comprised 3.8% and 0.6% of our investment portfolio at fair value and cost,

respectively.

As of September 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status comprised 0.9% of the total investment portfolio

at fair value and 3.5% at cost, and our total portfolio investments at fair value were 117% of the related cost

basis.

External Investment Manager

MSC Adviser I, LLC dba Main Street Capital Partners is our wholly-owned portfolio company and registered

investment adviser that provides investment management services to external parties (the “External Investment

Manager”). We share employees with the External Investment Manager and allocate costs related to such shared

employees and other operating expenses to the External Investment Manager. The total contribution of the

External Investment Manager to our NII consists of the combination of the expenses we allocate to the External

Investment Manager and the dividend income we earn from the External Investment Manager. During the third

quarter of 2026, the External Investment Manager earned $9.9 million of total fee income, and waived $0.6

million of incentive fees, resulting in total fee income, net of waivers, of $9.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million

from the third quarter of 2025. The fee income earned by the External Investment Manager in the third quarter

of 2026 included (i) $6.2 million of management fee income, an increase of $0.6 million from the third quarter

of 2025, and (ii) incentive fees, net of waivers, of $2.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from the third quarter

of 2025. We allocated $5.8 million of total expenses to the External Investment Manager during the third

quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.1 million from the third quarter of 2025. The increase in management fee

income was primarily attributable to an increase in total assets managed for clients. The decrease in incentive

fees, net of waivers, is the result of (i) the $0.6 million incentive fee waiver and (ii) a decrease in gross incentive

fees of $0.4 million. The decrease in gross incentive fees was attributable to changes in the performance and

operating results from the assets managed for clients in the third quarter of 2026 relative to the third quarter of

2025. The combination of the dividend income we earned from the External Investment Manager and expenses

we allocated to it resulted in a total contribution to our NII of $8.4 million, representing a decrease of $0.4

million from the third quarter of 2025.

8

The External Investment Manager ended the third quarter of 2026 with total assets under management of

$1.8 billion.

(1)DNII is NII as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S.

GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses.(4) Main Street believes presenting DNII

and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial

performance since non-cash compensation expenses(4) do not result in a net cash impact to Main Street upon

settlement. However, DNII is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for

NII or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in

connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. A

reconciliation of NII in accordance with U.S. GAAP to DNII is detailed in the financial tables included with

this press release.

(2)DNII before taxes is NII as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash

compensation expenses(4) and any tax expenses included in NII. Main Street believes presenting DNII

before taxes and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for

analyzing its financial performance since (i) non-cash compensation expenses(4) do not result in a net cash

impact to Main Street upon settlement and (ii) tax expenses included in NII may include (a) excise tax

expense, which is not solely attributable to NII, and (b) deferred taxes, which are not payable in the current

period. However, DNII before taxes is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a

replacement for NII, NII before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP

and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s

financial performance. A reconciliation of NII in accordance with U.S. GAAP to DNII before taxes is

detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.

(3)Return on equity equals the net increase in net assets resulting from operations divided by the average

quarterly total net assets.

(4)Non-cash compensation expenses consist of (i) share-based compensation and (ii) deferred compensation

expense or benefit, both of which are non-cash in nature. Share-based compensation does not require

settlement in cash. Deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to Main

Street upon settlement. The appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of deferred compensation plan

assets is reflected in Main Street’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation

(depreciation) and an increase (decrease) in compensation expenses, respectively. Cash compensation

expenses are total compensation expenses as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less non-cash

compensation expenses. Total cash expenses are total expenses, as determined in accordance with U.S.

GAAP, excluding non-cash compensation expenses. Main Street believes presenting cash compensation

expenses, non-cash compensation expenses and total cash expenses is useful and appropriate supplemental

disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a

net cash impact to Main Street upon settlement. However, cash compensation expenses, non-cash

compensation expenses and total cash expenses are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered

as a replacement for compensation expenses, total expenses or other earnings measures presented in

accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in

analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. A reconciliation of compensation expenses and total

expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP to cash compensation expenses, non-cash compensation expenses

and total cash expenses is detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.
