Medley Capital Corporation (the “Company”) reconvened its 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on April 3, 2014, which was previously adjourned pursuant to a shareholder vote on March 6, 2014, and submitted one matter to the vote of the shareholders. A summary of the matter voted upon by shareholders is set forth below.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2013, were entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of December 16, 2013, there were 40,199,813 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A quorum consisting of 34,806,695 shares of the Company’s common stock were present or represented at the Annual Meeting.

In order to approve the proposal set forth below, the affirmative vote of (1) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting; and (2) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting that are not held by affiliated persons of the Company is required to approve this proposal. For purposes of this proposal, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) defines “a majority of the outstanding shares” as: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy; or (2) 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, whichever is less. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes had the effect of a vote against this proposal. The voting results were as follows:

All Stockholders

All Stockholders Excluding Affiliates

The Company did not receive enough votes to satisfy the definition of “a majority of the outstanding shares” as set forth in the 1940 Act. In light of the foregoing, the Company will not have the authority to sell shares of its common stock at a price or prices below the Company’s then current net asset value per share.
