EXPLANATORY NOTE

Capital Southwest Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (the “Original 10-K”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2016. Pursuant to Rule 3-09(b), this Amendment includes the separate audited financial statements for our unconsolidated portfolio company, Media Recovery, Inc., which were not included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K because Media Recovery, Inc.’s fiscal year ended later than the Company’s fiscal year.

We have determined that this unconsolidated portfolio company has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to attach separate financial statements as exhibits to the Form 10-K. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b)(1), the separate financial statements of Media Recovery, Inc. are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K within 90 days after the end of Media Recovery, Inc.’s fiscal year. The Rule 3-09 financial statements include Media Recovery, Inc.’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and its related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

This Amendment also updates, amends and supplements Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K to include, among other items, the filing of new Exhibits 31.3, 31.4, 32.3 and 32.4, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) and (b).

No other changes have been made to the Original 10-K other than as described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Original 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the Original 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K and our filings with the SEC made subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K on June 14, 2016.
