On April 2, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of THL Credit, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Jane Musser Nelson as a director of the Company, with immediate effect.

Ms. Musser Nelson has extensive experience in the asset management industry with a focus on leveraged loans, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and private credit. Ms. Musser Nelson was formerly a Managing Director with Cambridge Associates where she spent eight years researching credit managers and working with a broad array of clients building credit portfolios as well as advising on all asset allocations. Prior to this, she served as an Executive Vice President at Bain Credit, investing and managing portfolios of leveraged loans and high yield bonds and in various roles at ING Capital Advisors for eight years including serving on their U.S. and European Investment Committees and managing CLOs. Prior to ING, Ms. Musser Nelson served as a Vice President at Eaton Vance working on the Senior Debt Fund team. Currently, Ms. Musser Nelson serves on the advisory committee of certain private investment funds, as Chair of the Investment Committee of the Concord Museum and is on the Investment Committee for ConcordArt. Ms. Musser Nelson is a graduate of Smith College and Amos Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College.

The Board believes that Ms. Musser Nelson’s extensive experience in the asset management industry qualifies her for service on the Board.

In connection with Ms. Musser Nelson’s appointment, the Board also approved an increase in the size of the Board from six to seven directors. Because David K. Downes will not stand for re-election at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a subsequent reduction in the size of the Board will take effect following the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the end of Mr. Downes’ term as a Director. Each of the Company’s directors will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or such director’s earlier resignation, death or removal. Ms. Musser Nelson will stand for reelection at the Annual Meeting.

Ms. Musser Nelson’s compensation will be consistent with that provided to all of the Company’s independent directors, as described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There is no arrangement or understanding under which Ms. Musser Nelson was appointed. There are no transactions involving Ms. Musser Nelson requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
