Main Street Receives BBB- Rating with Stable Outlook

HOUSTON, July 14, 2022 – Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”) is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) has assigned Main Street an investment grade credit and corporate rating of BBB- with a stable outlook. Factors cited by Fitch in support of its rating include Main Street’s portfolio focus on senior debt investments, strong portfolio diversification, solid track record in credit and equity investments, above-average asset coverage cushion, consistent operating performance, experienced management team and strong funding flexibility with demonstrated access to the public debt and equity markets.

“We are extremely pleased with the investment grade rating assigned to us by Fitch, which is a positive reflection of our unique investment strategy, strong management team and investment underwriting and monitoring processes and the favorable credit quality and investment performance of our portfolio,” said Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street’s Chief Executive Officer.

Fitch stated that its stable outlook for its rating reflects its expectation that Main Street will maintain a relatively consistent portfolio mix between first lien debt and equity investments, along with consistent core earnings generation, solid asset quality, adequate asset coverage cushion and satisfactory level of unsecured funding.
