ordinary taxable income and qualified dividends and may include capital gains and return of capital.
Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan (the “Plan”). The
dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan (the “DRIP”) provides for the reinvestment of dividends on
behalf of Main Street’s registered stockholders who hold their shares with Main Street’s transfer agent
and registrar, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, or certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate
in the DRIP. Under the DRIP, if Main Street declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have not
“opted out” of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested
into additional shares of Main Street common stock. The direct stock purchase feature of the Plan (the
“DSPP”) provides investors with a convenient and economical method to purchase shares of Main
Street common stock. More information about the Plan (including the DSPP prospectus) can be found
on the Main Street website (https://ir.mainstcapital.com/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-
purchase-plan).
