Previous wording

MSC Income has also historically sought to fill the financing gap for LMM businesses, which, historically, have had limited access to financing from commercial banks and other traditional sources. The underserved nature of the LMM created the opportunity for MSC Income to meet the financing needs of LMM companies while also negotiating favorable transaction terms and equity participation. MSC Income’s ability to invest across a company’s capital structure, from secured loans to equity securities, allowed it to offer portfolio companies a comprehensive suite of financing options, or a “one-stop” financing solutions. MSC Income’s LMM portfolio debt investments are generally secured by a first lien on the assets of the portfolio company and typically have a term of between five and seven years from the original investment date.

Subject to changes in MSC Income’s cash and overall liquidity, it may in the future invest in short-term portfolio investments that are atypical of its Private Loan and LMM portfolio investments in that they would be intended to be a short-term deployment of capital. These assets would be expected to be realized in one year or less and would not be expected to be a significant portion of MSC Income’s total investments.

Previous wording

The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon MSC Income’s view of the current economic fundamentals, its ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet its investment criteria, and its ability to consummate the identified opportunities and its available liquidity. The level of new investment activity, and associated interest and fee income, will directly impact future investment income. In addition, the level of dividends paid by portfolio companies and the portion of the Fund’s portfolio debt investments on non-accrual status will directly impact future investment income. While MSC Income intends to grow its portfolio and its investment income over the long term, growth and operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, the Fund intends to appropriately manage its cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and investment outlook. The level of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity, economic conditions and the performance of individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation could have a material impact on the Fund’s operating results.

Previous wording

MSC Income has received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting co-investments among it, Main Street and other advisory clients of the Adviser in certain negotiated transactions where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act. MSC Income has made co-investments with, and in the future intend to continue to make co-investments with Main Street and other advisory clients of the Adviser, in accordance with the conditions of the order. The order requires, among other things, that Main Street and the Adviser consider whether each such investment opportunity is appropriate for MSC Income, Main Street and the other advisory clients of the Adviser, as applicable, and if it is appropriate, to propose an allocation of the investment opportunity between such parties. Because the Adviser is wholly-owned by Main Street and is not managing MSC Income’s investment activities as its sole activity, this may provide the Adviser an incentive to allocate opportunities to Main Street or its other advisory clients instead of MSC Income. However, both MSC Income and the Adviser have policies and procedures in place to manage this conflict, including approval of investment allocations and oversight of co-investments by the independent members of MSC Income’s Board of Directors. In addition to the co-investment program described above, MSC Income also co-invests in certain investments transactions where price is the only negotiated point by the Fund and its affiliates.

(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments as of June 30, 2025, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable debt investment as of June 30, 2025. The weighted-average annual effective yield on the Fund’s debt portfolio as of June 30, 2025, including debt investments on non-accrual status, was 10.4% for the Private Loan portfolio and 12.2% for the LMM portfolio. The weighted- average annual effective yield is not reflective of what an investor in shares of the Fund’s common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect changes in the market value of the stock, the utilization of debt capital in its capital structure, its expenses or any sales load paid by an investor.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that require management to make subjective or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Changes that may be required in the underlying assumptions or estimates in these areas could have a material impact on MSC Income’s current and future financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

The most significant determination inherent in the preparation of MSC Income’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of the Investment Portfolio and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation. The Fund considers this determination to be a critical accounting estimate, given the significant judgments and subjective measurements required. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Fund’s Investment Portfolio valued at fair value represented 96% of total assets. MSC Income is required to report its investments at fair value. The Fund follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Fund to assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to independent market participants, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. See Note B.1. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Valuation of the Investment Portfolio included in Item 1.

Previous wording

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, MSC Income’s determination of fair value for the Investment Portfolio may differ materially from the values that would have been determined had a ready market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned. MSC Income determines the fair value of each individual investment and record changes in fair value as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Previous wording

MSC Income holds certain debt and preferred equity instruments in its Investment Portfolio that contain PIK interest and cumulative dividend provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. Cumulative dividends are recorded as dividend income, and any dividends in arrears are added to the balance of the preferred equity investment. The actual collection of these dividends in arrears may be deferred until such time as the preferred equity is redeemed or sold. To maintain RIC tax treatment (as discussed in Note B.8. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Income Taxes included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), these non-cash sources of income may need to be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though MSC Income may not have collected the PIK interest and cumulative dividends in cash. MSC Income stops accruing PIK interest and cumulative dividends and write off any accrued and uncollected interest and dividends in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest and dividends in arrears are no longer collectible. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, (i) 5.3% and 5.0%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to PIK interest income not paid currently in cash and (ii) 1.5% and 0.1%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to cumulative dividend income not paid currently in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, (i) 5.5% and 4.7%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to PIK interest income not paid currently in cash and (ii) 0.9% and 0.1%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to cumulative dividend income not paid currently in cash.

(c)Under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser historically waived reimbursement of all internal administrative services expenses except for services that were previously provided by an external third-party and were later internalized by the Adviser. Beginning in January 2025, under the Advisory Agreement, the waivers for those costs (except for services that were previously provided by the external third-party) were memorialized as a quarterly cap on the Fund’s obligation to reimburse the Adviser for such internal administrative services expenses. As a result, the historical waiver of such costs is no longer required after the MSC Income Listing.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $16.3 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to net investment income of $13.4 million, or $0.33 per share, for the corresponding period of 2024. The increase in net investment income was principally attributable to the decreased expenses and the increase in total investment income, as discussed above. The per share increase in net investment income was after the impact of a 17% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to new shares issued through the MSC Income Offering and the dividend reinvestment plan. The increase in net investment income on a per share basis is also after a $0.02 per share decrease in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring.

The increase in net investment income is principally attributable to the increase in total investment income and the decreased expenses, each as discussed above. The per share increase in net investment income reflects the increase in net investment income after the impact of an 18% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to new shares issued through the MSC Income Offering and MSC Income’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), partially offset by shares repurchased by the Fund.
