mscincomefund.comMSC Income Fund, Inc. Page 4 MSIF Announces Dutch Auction Tender Offer This tender offer supplements the Company’s quarterly share repurchase program to provide an additional liquidity option to shareholders • Quarterly tender offers through the share repurchase program are made at net asset value (NAV) using a portion of the proceeds from shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. • These quarterly tender offers have historically been “oversubscribed” and as a result, the Company repurchases shares on a pro-rata basis from tendering shareholders, subject to “odd lot” (1) priority. (1) Accounts holding fewer than 100 shares.
mscincomefund.comMSC Income Fund, Inc. Page 5 MSIF Announces Dutch Auction Tender Offer This tender offer provides an additional near-term liquidity option to supplement our quarterly repurchase program • The Company has learned through engaging with shareholders that certain shareholders have additional needs for liquidity related to individual circumstances, such as death or disability of the initial holder. We believe this Modified Dutch Action tender offer is a mechanism that can provide current liquidity to shareholders who desire such an option. • The Company may consider undertaking additional tender offers, including additional Modified Dutch auction tender offers and tender offers in connection with its quarterly repurchase program, based upon a variety of factors, including the availability of new capital, while it continues to evaluate opportunities for a full liquidity event. • The Company will also continue to evaluate full liquidity opportunities for the Company’s shareholders, such as a listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange, under such terms and conditions as would be in the Company’s best interests. There can be no assurance when a suitable transaction will be available or that market conditions for a liquidity event will be favorable during that time frame. In making a determination of what type of liquidity event is in the Company’s best interest, the Company may consider a variety of criteria, including portfolio diversification, portfolio performance, its financial condition, potential access to capital as a listed company, market conditions for the sale of its assets or listing of its securities, internal management considerations and the potential for shareholder liquidity.
mscincomefund.comMSC Income Fund, Inc. Page 6 MSIF Announces Dutch Auction Tender Offer Shares will be purchased at the lowest “clearing” price at which the Company is able to purchase $2.5 million of shares (the Clearing Price). Shareholders have the option to: Option 2(a): Tender all shares at a single price per share. By selecting this option, the shareholder is agreeing to sell all shares at the price selected or any higher price that is established as the Clearing Price. Option 2(b): Tender different amounts of shares at different prices. By selecting more than one price, the shareholder is agreeing to sell the specified number of shares indicated at or below the Clearing Price. Option 2(c): Tender all shares at the price determined in the course of the auction. Option 2(c) will give shareholders the greatest chance to have the maximum number of their shares acquired in the tender offer. Selecting this option will have the effect of tendering all shares at the Clearing Price. If shareholders tender more than $2.5 million of shares at the Clearing Price, orders may be pro-rated (1). (1) Subject to the Company’s ability in accordance with the rules promulgated by the SEC to increase the number of shares accepted for purchase in the offer by up to 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares without amending or extending the offer.
mscincomefund.comMSC Income Fund, Inc. Page 7 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is a “Modified Dutch Auction” and how does it work? A: A Modified Dutch Auction is a type of tender offer whereby the buyer solicits interest among shareholders to sell their shares at a range of prices. The process works in the opposite way as a traditional auction – sellers are asked to bid their desired sale price, resulting in a consensus sale price paid by the buyer. In this scenario, shareholders are being asked to offer to sell their shares to the purchaser at one or more prices. Once the offer period has expired, the buyer determines the Clearing Price that will enable the buyer to purchase shares up to the total amount of the offer. If the offer is oversubscribed at the Clearing Price, the buyer (i) will purchase a pro rata amount from all shareholders selling at that price or (ii) may purchase a limited amount of additional shares for various reasons, including to fully purchase all shares tendered at the Clearing Price (1). See the following page for an example of how the Clearing Price is determined. Q: How will the Company pay for the shares? A: On January 31, 2024, the Company sold shares to Main Street Capital Corporation, the parent company to the Company’s investment adviser, at the price at which the Company issued new shares in connection with reinvestments of the January 31, 2024 dividend in Company shares pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The Company will use a portion of the proceeds from this and other previous sales of shares to Main Street Capital Corporation to purchase shares in the offer. (1) Subject to the Company’s ability in accordance with the rules promulgated by the SEC to increase the number of shares accepted for purchase in the offer by up to 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares without amending or extending the offer.
mscincomefund.comMSC Income Fund, Inc. Page 8 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the Clearing Price and how will it be determined? A: The Clearing Price is the price at which the Company is able to purchase the full tender offer amount. The following table is a hypothetical result of an offer to purchase $2,000,000 of shares at prices from $4.50 to $7.73: In this example, $6.50 is the Clearing Price. The Company would select the price of $6.50 and all tendering shareholders would receive the Clearing Price of $6.50 per share. Because the $6.50 per share price results in the offer being oversubscribed, unless the Company elects to increase the offer amount to fully repurchase all shares tendered at $6.50(1), all tendering shareholders are pro-rated at approximately 87.9% (which is the product of (i) the total purchase offer of $2,000,000 divided by (ii) the total price that meets or exceeds the total offer amount (in this example, $2,275,000)). (1) Subject to the Company’s ability in accordance with the rules promulgated by the SEC to increase the number of shares accepted for purchase in the offer by up to 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares without amending or extending the offer.

A: The Company will announce the results of the offer, including the Clearing Price as soon as possible after the expiration date for the offer. Q: If my shares are accepted in the tender offer, when will I receive payment? A: The tender offer will settle promptly after the trade date for the offer. Proceeds being distributed through a custodian or broker dealer may appear in your account several business days after payment has already been remitted.

Q: If I do not participate in this tender offer, what are my other liquidity options? A: Shareholders not participating in this tender offer will continue to be able to participate in the Company’s quarterly share repurchase program and any future tender offers or other full or partial liquidity events offered by the Company. While the Company continues to evaluate opportunities for a full liquidity event, the Company will also endeavor to make additional tender offers available to the extent there is available capital and shareholders continue to express an increased desire for current liquidity, subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.
