PART C
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15. Indemnification.
As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, GBDC
has adopted provisions in its certificate of incorporation, as amended, that limit or eliminate the personal liability of its directors
for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation,
directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director
will not be personally liable to GBDC or its stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for: any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to GBDC or its stockholders; any act or omission not in good faith
or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions or payment of dividends; or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These limitations
of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
GBDC’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws
provide that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by GBDC to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under Section 145 of the DGCL, GBDC is permitted to offer
indemnification to its directors, officers, employees and agents.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general,
that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of the corporation), because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise. Such indemnity may be against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person
did not have reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general,
that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of any other enterprise, against any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in
general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or
arising out of the person’s status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person
against such liability under the provisions of the law. GBDC has obtained liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and
officers. Each of the Current GBDC Investment Advisory Agreement and the New Investment Advisory Agreement provides that, absent
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its
duties and obligations, GC Advisors and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person
or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from GBDC for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of GC Advisors’
services under the Current GBDC Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment
adviser of GBDC.
The Administration Agreement, as assigned, provides
that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of
its duties and obligations, the Administrator and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other
person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from GBDC for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of the Administrator’s services
under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for GBDC.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of GBDC pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, GBDC has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by GBDC of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of GBDC in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, GBDC will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
