As part of the annual governance review by the Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”) board of directors in 2017, management will discuss with the board of directors the restrictions in Main Street’s Articles of Incorporation on the ability of stockholders to amend Main Street’s Bylaws.  This review is in response to updated voting guidelines issued by a proxy advisory firm.  Revised guidance by the proxy advisory firm issued in April 2017 made it clear that the guidelines apply to business development companies like Main Street.
