Including the third quarter 2025 regular monthly dividends and the June 2025 supplemental dividend, these most recent dividend declarations represent total dividends to Main Street shareholders of $1.065 per share, representing an annualized current yield of 8.0% based on the closing price of $53.10 per share on May 5, 2025.

The final determination of the tax attributes for dividends each year are made after the close of the tax year. The final tax attributes for 2025 dividends are currently expected to include a combination of ordinary taxable income and qualified dividends and may include capital gains and return of capital.

Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan (the "Plan"). The dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan (the "DRIP") provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of Main Street's registered stockholders who hold their shares with Main Street's transfer agent and registrar, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, or certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate in the DRIP. Under the DRIP, if Main Street declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Main Street common stock. The direct stock purchase feature of the Plan (the "DSPP") provides investors with a convenient and economical method to purchase shares of Main Street common stock. More information about the Plan (including the DSPP prospectus) can be found on the Main Street website (https://ir.mainstcapital.com/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan).
