CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORP

Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 that we filed with the SEC on May 19, 2026.

Additional Risks Associated with the 2029 Convertible Notes

While we currently are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation or proceedings under the Supplemental Indenture relating to the assertion made by certain holders of our 2029 Convertible Notes (as described under Item 5. Other Information), we may in the future become subject to litigation or proceedings instituted by such noteholders or by us. Even if lawsuits or proceedings against us are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management’s time and resources from the Company’s business. We also may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any litigation or proceedings. The Company can neither predict the outcome of these potential lawsuits or proceedings, if any, nor can the Company predict the amount of time and expenses that will be required to resolve any such matters. An unfavorable resolution of any such litigation or proceeding that results in the adjustment of the 2029 Convertible Notes in the manner that certain noteholders are asserting would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net asset value and net investment income and would be dilutive to the ownership interest of our existing shareholders.
