 UNAUDITED COMBINING CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        On June 23, 2016, Great Elm Capital Corp. ("GECC") entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Full Circle Capital Corporation ("Full Circle"). After completion of the merger of Full Circle with and into GECC (the "Merger"), GECC succeeded to all of Full Circle's assets and liabilities.

        On June 23, 2016, GECC entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with Great Elm Capital Group, Inc. ("Great Elm Capital Group") and funds (the "MAST Funds") managed by MAST Capital Management, LLC ("MAST"). After the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement (the "Formation Transactions"), GECC had $30 million of cash and owned a portfolio of debt instruments that MAST valued at approximately $90 million (the "Initial GECC Portfolio") as of June 30, 2016.

        The following unaudited combining consolidated pro forma statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investments gives pro forma effect to the Merger and the Formation Transactions. Specifically, GECC presents the unaudited combining consolidated pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as if on June 30, 2016:

    •
    the Formation Transactions had been completed resulting in GECC owning the Initial GECC Portfolio; and

    •
    the Merger had been completed.

        In order to make the unaudited combining consolidated pro forma statement of assets and liabilities easier to read, we refer throughout to unaudited combining consolidated pro forma financial statements, associated adjustments and related information as the "pro forma financial statements" throughout this document. All such statements and information are consolidated and unaudited, as well as combining to give effect to the foregoing transactions.

        The pro forma financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following separate historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Full Circle, GECC and the special purpose statement of investments of the MAST Funds that were included in GECC's prospectus related to the Merger.

(1)
The investments are acquired in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, are generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be "restricted securities" under the Securities Act of 1933.

(2)
A majority of the Great Elm's variable rate debt investments bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to LIBOR ("London Interbank Offered Rate") or the U.S. prime rate, and which is reset daily, monthly, quarterly or semiannually. For each debt investment, Great Elm has provided the interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2016. If no reference to LIBOR or the U.S. prime rate is made, the rate is fixed. A floor is the minimum rate that will be applied in calculating an interest rate. A cap is the maximum rate that will be applied in calculating an interest rate.

(3)
"Control Investments" are investments in those companies that are "Control Investments" of the applicable company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. A company is deemed to be a "Control Investment" of a BDC if a BDC owns more than 25% of the voting securities of such company.

(4)
"Affiliate Investments" are investments in those companies that are "Affiliated Companies" of the applicable company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, which are not "Control Investments." A company is deemed to be an "Affiliate" of a BDC if a BDC owns 5% or more, but less than 25%, of the voting securities of such company.

GREAT ELM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINING CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
AS OF JUNE 30, 2016
DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS

1. Basis of Presentation

        General.    The accompanying unaudited combining consolidated pro forma statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investments reflects the impact of the Formation Transactions and the Merger on GECC's statement of assets and liabilities.

        The pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investments are presented as if the Merger and the Formation Transactions had occurred on June 30, 2016.

        The historical financial statements of Full Circle, the statement of assets and liabilities of GECC and the unaudited combining consolidated pro forma schedule of investments give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger or the Formation Transactions and (2) factually supportable.

        Purchase Accounting.    The pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under Topic 805 of the Accounting Standards Codification, Business Combinations, with GECC as the acquirer in the Merger for accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, GECC will measure the total estimated purchase price (consideration transferred) as described in Note 4, "Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred," as of the effective time of the Merger using the market price of GECC common stock and number of outstanding shares of Full Circle common stock at that time. Therefore, this may result in a per share equity value that is different from that assumed for the purposes of preparing this pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. GECC has assumed that Full Circle's assessment of the fair market value of its assets is correct and will revise the valuation of Full Circle's assets and liabilities as of the effective time of the Merger as additional information becomes available and as GECC performs additional valuation work.

        Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the pro forma combined consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and the schedule of investments and GECC's future results of operation and financial position.

        Transaction Costs.    Acquisition related transaction costs (e.g., investment banker, advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) have not been included as a component of consideration transferred, but instead must be expensed as incurred. The pro forma statement of assets and liabilities reflects the anticipated transaction costs of both companies as accrued expenses with a corresponding decrease in stockholders' equity and net asset value in the pro forma combined consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The costs that Full Circle, MAST, Great Elm Capital Group and GECC may ultimately incur could differ materially from this amount.

        Accounting Policies.    In order to prepare the pro forma financial statements, GECC performed a preliminary review of Full Circle's accounting policies to identify significant differences. GECC will continue to conduct additional reviews of GECC's accounting policies to determine if differences in accounting policies require further adjustment or reclassification of Full Circle's results of operations, assets or liabilities to conform to GECC's accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, GECC may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma financial statements.

        Limitations.    The pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities is presented for informational purposes only and the pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities is not necessarily indicative of what GECC's financial position would actually have been had the Formation Transactions been completed or the Merger had been completed on the date indicated. In addition, the pro forma combining consolidated statement of assets and liabilities does not purport to project the future financial position of GECC. There were no material transactions among Full Circle, the MAST Funds, or Great Elm Capital Group, on the one hand, and GECC, on the other hand, that would need to be eliminated.

2. The Merger

        Upon completion of the Merger, Full Circle stockholders received 0.2219 shares of GECC common stock for each share of Full Circle common stock. The exchange ratio was fixed and was not adjusted for changes in the market value of shares of Full Circle common stock or net asset value.

        Full Circle declared a special dividend of $5,409 payable to holders of record of Full Circle common stock immediately before the effective time of the Merger, which was paid on November 3, 2016.

        The exchange ratio was determined based on Full Circle's and GECC's net asset value of August 31, 2016. GECC's net asset value is to be determined after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement as if such transactions had been completed as of August 31, 2016.

3. The Formation Transactions

        Per the Subscription Agreement, on June 23, 2016, Great Elm Capital Group contributed $30,000 to GECC in exchange for 30 shares of GECC. On November 1, 2016, GECC issued additional shares of its common stock to Great Elm Capital Group so that the total number of shares held by Great Elm Capital Group immediately before the Merger equaled (a) $30,000 minus 25% of GECC's then estimated costs associated with the Merger and the Formation Transactions divided by (b) 15. The total shares issued to Great Elm Capital Group were 1,966,667.

        Per the Subscription Agreement, the MAST Funds contributed a portfolio of debt investments to GECC. GECC issued shares of its common stock equal to (a) the fair market value of the securities contributed by the MAST Funds as of August 31, 2016 minus 75% of GECC's then estimated costs associated with the Merger and the Formation Transactions divided by (b) 15. The total shares issued to the MAST Funds were 5,935,800.

        GECC agreed to reimburse MAST's and Great Elm Capital Group's, transaction costs if the transactions were completed. GECC currently estimates its, MAST's and Great Elm Capital Group's aggregate transaction costs through the effective time were approximately $2,900.

4. Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred

        In estimating the fair value of the merger consideration, or purchase price, GECC had assumed a price per share of GECC common stock of $15.00.

        The following is the preliminary estimate of the purchase price as of June 30, 2016:

Full Circle net asset value as of June 30, 2016(a)

   $ 82,087  

Special Distribution(b)

     (5,409 )

Estimated Full Circle transaction costs not deducted in determining net asset value as of the Measurement Date(c)

   $ 74,800  
​ ​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​ ​
(a)
Represents Full Circle's net asset value as of June 30, 2016.

(b)

(c)
Full Circle's total transaction costs are estimated at $3,280 and $1,521 had been accrued as of June 30, 2016.

        These estimates were subject to change, and did in fact change, between the estimates and the final Exchange Ratio (which was calculated as of August 31, 2016) and the final amounts used in GECC's purchase accounting.

5. Pro Forma Adjustments

(a)
To record GECC's estimated transaction costs (including reimbursement of costs incurred by Great Elm Capital Group and MAST in connection with the Formation Transactions and the Merger).

(b)
To record estimated Full Circle transaction costs in excess of those which were accrued on or before June 30, 2016.

(c)
Amount of the Special Distribution declared by Full Circle immediately before the Effective Time and payable after the Effective Time.

8

(d)
To adjust the carrying value of Full Circle's debt to market value as of June 30, 2016.

(e)
To eliminate historical Full Circle accounts and otherwise record purchase accounting adjustments.

6. Exchange Ratio

        Historical net asset value per share for Full Circle is calculated based on 22,427,243 shares of Full Circle common stock outstanding on August 31, 2016. For purposes of calculating pro forma net asset value per share, pro forma shares outstanding were determined as follows:

 
   Full Circle   Great Elm
Capital Group, Inc. 		  MAST Funds   Total  

Net asset value(a)

   $ 74,800   $ 29,500   $ 89,037   $ 193,337  

Shares(b)

     4,986,637     1,966,667     5,935,800     12,889,104  
(a)
Reflects the amount in the applicable party's information provided to set the exchange ratio as of August 31, 2016.

(b)
Reflects the GECC shares issued per the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement respectively without reducing the amount of shares issued for any fractional share adjustments.
