New Mountain Finance Corporation (NASDAQ:NMFC) ("NMFC" or "the Company") today announced that on October 23, 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized an extension of a previously established stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). Pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the Company can repurchase up to $50 million worth of its common stock at the discretion of NMFC's management team. The Repurchase Program was set to expire on December 31, 2024, but the Company's board of directors elected to extend the Repurchase Program through December 31, 2025. Under the Repurchase Program, NMFC may, but is not obligated to, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that NMFC complies with the prohibitions under its Code of Ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. Unless further extended by NMFC's board of directors, the Company expects the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2025 or until $50 million worth of NMFC's outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. To date, approximately $2.9 million worth of repurchases have been made by the Company under the Repurchase Program.

The Company's board of directors authorized the extension of the Repurchase Program because it believes that sustained market volatility and uncertainty may cause NMFC's common stock to be undervalued from time to time. The timing and number of shares to be repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and alternative investment opportunities. In addition, any subsequent repurchases will also be conducted in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. There are no assurances that the Company will engage in additional repurchases, but if market conditions warrant, the Company now has an extended period of time to take advantage of situations where NMFC's management believes share repurchases would be advantageous to the Company and to its shareholders.
