Item 3.01.	Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 12, 2023, New Mountain Finance Corporation (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the previously disclosed resignation of Alice W. Handy from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (as described in Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2023) resulted in noncompliance with the board of directors independence requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1). More specifically, when the Notice was issued, the Board did not have a majority of directors who would be considered “independent directors,” as that term is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). The Notice states that, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance (i) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or April 25, 2024, or (ii) if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before October 23, 2023, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than October 23, 2023.
