Main Street Issues Reminder Regarding Upcoming Dividend Activity

HOUSTON, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As previously announced on October 19, 2016, Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") will pay a semi-annual supplemental cash dividend of $0.275 per share in December 2016, which is in addition to Main Street's previously announced regular monthly cash dividends of $0.185 per share to be paid in each of December 2016 and January, February and March 2017.  Consistent with prior periods with several dividends in close proximity, Main Street is issuing this reminder with respect to its upcoming dividend activity since there are multiple ex-dividend and payment dates in December 2016.

Each of Main Street's December 2016 and January 2017 regular monthly dividends and December 2016 semi-annual supplemental dividend will be payable as set forth below to stockholders who hold shares through the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend.

Including all dividends declared to date, Main Street will have paid $19.16 per share in cumulative dividends since its October 2007 initial public offering at $15.00 per share.  The combination of the current regular monthly dividend rate of $0.185 per share and the current semi-annual supplemental dividend rate of $0.275 per share equates to annualized cash dividends of $2.77 per share.
