mainstcapital.com NYSE: MAIN Main Street Capital Corporation Page 7 MAIN Strategy Produces Differentiated Returns Enhanced Value Proposition - Three Ways to Win are Better Than One 1. Sustain and Grow Dividends • Efficient operating structure provides operating leverage to grow Distributable Net Investment Income (DNII) (1) , and dividends paid, as investment portfolio and total investment income grow • 95% increase in monthly dividends from $0.33 per share paid in Q4 2007 to declared dividends of $0.645 per share for Q2 2022 • Never decreased regular monthly dividends (including through 2008/2009 recession and 2020/2021 COVID - 19 pandemic) • Paid or declared $33.54 per share in total dividends since October 2007 IPO at $15.00 per share ($29.325 per share in regular dividends and $4.215 per share in supplemental dividends) • Multi - faceted investment strategy supports growth of dividends over various cycles and markets 2.

Supplement Growth in DNII (1) with Periodic Realized Gains • LMM equity component of investment strategy provides opportunity for meaningful realized gains (analogous to PIK income on debt investments from cash flow perspective, but more tax efficient and without cap on upside) • Realized gains validate the quality of MAIN’s unrealized appreciation • Realized gains can be paid to shareholders as dividends or retained for future reinvestment due to MAIN’s unique tax structure (1) See reconciliation of DNII per share to Net Investment Income per share on page 37 and Non - GAAP Information disclosures on page 47 of this presentation
