mainstcapital.comNYSE: MAINMain Street Capital Corporation www.mainstcapital.com Page 42 Interest Rate Impact and Sensitivity The following table illustrates the approximate annual changes in the components of MAIN’s net investment income (NII) due to hypothetical increases (decreases) in interest rates(1)(2) (dollars in thousands, except per share data): MAIN’s financial results are subject to impact from changes in interest rates; MAIN’s capital structure includes a majority of fixed rate debt obligations, while MAIN’s investment portfolio includes a majority of floating rate debt investments with minimum interest rate floors – 90% of MAIN’s outstanding debt obligations have fixed interest rates(6) – 65% of MAIN’s debt investments bear interest at floating rates(6), the majority of which contain contractual minimum index rates, or “interest rate floors” (weighted-average floor of approximately 130 basis points(7)) – Results in increases in net investment income if market interest rates increase, and reductions to net investment income if market interest rates decrease (1) Assumes no changes in the portfolio investments or outstanding debt obligations existing as of September 30, 2025 (2) Assumes that all SOFR and Prime rates would change effective immediately on the first day of the period; however, the actual contractual index rate reset dates will vary in future periods generally on either a monthly or quarterly basis across both our debt investments and our Credit Facilities (as defined in the Endnotes for page 40) resulting in a delay in the realization of the increases or decreases in interest income or expense (3) The hypothetical (increase) decrease in interest expense would be impacted by the changes in the amount of debt outstanding under our Credit Facilities, with interest expense (increasing) decreasing as the debt outstanding under our Credit Facilities increases (decreases) (4) The NII contribution from the External Investment Manager is based on the performance of the assets managed by the External Investment Manager which may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates and other factors impacting the return on such managed assets; this change in NII contribution only represents the impact of interest rate changes and assumes no change to all other factors (5) Per share amount is calculated using shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 (6) As of September 30, 2025, based on par (7) Weighted-average interest rate floor calculated based on debt principal balances as of September 30, 2025 Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of the impact of interest rate changes to our NII as of September 30, 2025, the analysis does not take into consideration future changes in the credit market, credit quality or other business or economic developments that could affect our NII.

mainstcapital.comNYSE: MAINMain Street Capital Corporation www.mainstcapital.com Page 46 Non-GAAP Information Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right). MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non- cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Distributable net investment income before taxes is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non- cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right) and any tax expenses included in net investment income. MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income before taxes and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement, and since tax expenses included in net investment income may include excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to net investment income, and deferred taxes, which are not payable in the current period. However, distributable net investment income before taxes is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income, net investment income before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Non-cash compensation expenses consist of (i) share-based compensation and (ii) deferred compensation expense or benefit, both of which are non-cash in nature. Share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. Deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. The appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets is reflected in MAIN’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and an increase (decrease) in compensation expenses, respectively. MAIN believes presenting non-cash compensation expenses is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, non-cash compensation expenses are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as a replacement for compensation expenses, total expenses or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Net Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated as the Debt to NAV Ratio as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except that total debt is reduced by cash and cash equivalents. The Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated in the same manner as the Debt to NAV Ratio, except that outstanding SBIC debentures are excluded from the debt pursuant to an exemptive order MAIN received from the SEC. MAIN believes presenting the Net Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial position and leverage. MAIN believes presenting the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because MAIN, a business development company, is permitted to exclude such borrowings from its regulatory asset coverage ratio calculation pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC. However, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as replacements for the Debt to NAV Ratio and other financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial position.

mainstcapital.comNYSE: MAINMain Street Capital Corporation www.mainstcapital.com Page 35 Non-GAAP Information Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right). MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non- cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Distributable net investment income before taxes is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non- cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right) and any tax expenses included in net investment income. MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income before taxes and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement, and since tax expenses included in net investment income may include excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to net investment income, and deferred taxes, which are not payable in the current period. However, distributable net investment income before taxes is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income, net investment income before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Non-cash compensation expenses consist of (i) share-based compensation and (ii) deferred compensation expense or benefit, both of which are non-cash in nature. Share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. Deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. The appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets is reflected in MAIN’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and an increase (decrease) in compensation expenses, respectively. MAIN believes presenting non-cash compensation expenses is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, non-cash compensation expenses are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as a replacement for compensation expenses, total expenses or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Net Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated as the Debt to NAV Ratio as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except that total debt is reduced by cash and cash equivalents. The Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated in the same manner as the Debt to NAV Ratio, except that outstanding SBIC debentures are excluded from the debt pursuant to an exemptive order MAIN received from the SEC. MAIN believes presenting the Net Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial position and leverage. MAIN believes presenting the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because MAIN, a business development company, is permitted to exclude such borrowings from its regulatory asset coverage ratio calculation pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC. However, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as replacements for the Debt to NAV Ratio and other financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial position.
