Prospect Capital Announces 90% Increase in Net Investment Income for First Three Fiscal Quarters Over Prior Year

Page 5 of 5

On February 11, 2013, we entered into an equity distribution agreement relating to at-the-market offerings from time to time of our common stock. During the period from February 11, 2013 to May 6, 2013, we sold approximately 17.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $11.14 per share, and raised $191.9 million of gross proceeds, with all issuance at prices above net asset value per share.

We currently have no borrowings under our Facility. Assuming sufficient assets are pledged to the Facility and that we are in compliance with all Facility terms, and taking into account our cash balances on hand, we have over $740 million of new investment capacity. Any principal repayments, other monetizations of our assets, debt and other capital issuances, or increase in our Facility size would also further increase our investment capacity.
