EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-272896) (the “Registration Statement”) registering common stock, preferred stock, warrants representing rights to purchase shares of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, subscription rights or debt securities of Monroe Capital Corporation (the “Company”). On or around April 14, 2026, the Company expects to merge with and into Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“HRZN”) in a multi-step process (the “Merger”), with HRZN as the surviving corporation, at which time the separate corporate existence of the Company will end. As a result, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed solely to deregister any and all of the Company’s securities previously registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold.
