Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
​
On November 11, 2021, Main Street Capital Corporation ("Main Street") entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "SMBC Equity Distribution Agreement") with SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. ("SMBC") to add SMBC as an additional agent under Main Street's "at the market" program equity offering (the "ATM Program") on the same terms as Main Street's equity distribution agreements (together with the SMBC Equity Distribution Agreement, the "Equity Distribution Agreements") (i) dated May 16, 2019 and as amended from time to time, with each of Truist Securities, Inc. ("Truist"), RBC Capital Markets, LLC ("RBC") and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. ("Raymond James"), and (ii) dated August 15, 2019 and as amended from time to time, with Comerica Securities, Inc. ("Comerica," and together with SMBC, Truist, RBC and Raymond James, the "Sales Agents"). Under the Equity Distribution Agreements, Main Street may, but has no obligation to, issue and sell up to 9,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), from time to time through the Sales Agents, or to them, as principal for their own account.
Further details regarding the Equity Distribution Agreements and the ATM Program are set forth in Main Street's Current Reports on
Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 16, 2019 and August 15, 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Equity Distribution Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Distribution Agreements, a form of which was previously filed as
Exhibit 1.1
to Main Street's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to Main Street's shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-231146), the prospectus dated April 30, 2019 contained therein and the prospectus supplement dated May 16, 2019 (including any documents incorporated by reference therein), as supplemented from time to time, including the supplements thereto dated August 15, 2019, August 13, 2020 and November 11, 2021, each of which has been filed with the SEC.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
