FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $0.33 per common share, as compared to $0.24 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 . The increase was primarily attributable to increased dividend and fee income.

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share increased to $15.18 at December 31, 2021 from $14.16 at September 30, 2021 and $11.85 at December 31, 2020 . The net gain per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $0.94 . The net gain per common share was largely attributable to realized and unrealized gains on equity securities. Earnings per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $1.27 as compared to $0.98 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 . At December 31, 2021 , based on fair value, 92% of our debt portfolio consisted of floating rate loans and 95% of our debt portfolio consisted of senior secured loans; 71% of our borrowings are fixed rate and mature in 2025 and beyond. SELECTED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Quarter Ended (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share data) December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 Net Investment Income Per Common Share Net investment income per common share $ 0.33 $ 0.24 Net Realized/Unrealized Gain (Loss) Per Common Share Net realized gain (loss) per common share $ (0.98 ) $ 0.24 Net unrealized gain per common share 2.07 0.52 Net loss on extinguishment of debt per common share (0.15 ) (0.02 ) Net gain per common share $ 0.94 $ 0.74 Earnings Per Common Share Earnings per common share $ 1.27 $ 0.98 Net Asset Value Net asset value per share $ 15.18 $ 14.16 Distributions paid per share $ 0.25 $ 0.24 Adjusted NII Per Share Net investment income per share $ 0.33 $ 0.24 Capital gain incentive fee accrual per share 0.14 0.01 Adjusted NII per share $ 0.47 $ 0.25 As of December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 Balance Sheet Highlights (unaudited) Investment portfolio, at fair value $ 507.1 $ 526.3 Total assets 569.0 537.2 Net asset value per common share 15.18 14.16 Management Commentary “Based on strong origination activity and increased portfolio income, our fourth quarter net investment income increased to $0.33 per share, a 38% increase compared to the prior quarter. Fourth quarter adjusted net investment income increased to $0.47 per share, an 88% increase compared to the prior quarter,” said Bilal Rashid , OFS Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to increase our distribution for the sixth straight quarter. Our NAV increased 28% from December 31, 2020 primarily due to net gains in the portfolio and now exceeds our 2019 year-end NAV by 22%. In an environment in which interest rates are rising, we believe our portfolio is well positioned with 92% of our debt portfolio consisting of floating rates.” (1) Supplemental information regarding Adjusted NII: On a supplemental basis, we disclose Adjusted NII (including on a per share basis), which is a financial measure calculated and presented on basis other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted NII represents net investment income excluding the capital gains incentive fee in periods in which such expense occurs. GAAP requires recognition of a capital gains incentive fee in our financial statements if aggregate net realized and unrealized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date of the election to be a BDC through the reporting date is positive. Such fees are subject to further conditions specified in the investment advisory agreement with OFS Capital Management, LLC , principally related to the realization of such net gains, before OFS Capital Management, LLC is entitled to payment, and such recognized fees are subject to the risk of reversal should unrealized gains diminish to become losses. Management believes that Adjusted NII is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee, as net investment income does not include the net gains, realized or unrealized, associated with the capital gains incentive fee. Management believes Adjusted NII facilitates analysis of our results of operations and provides greater transparency into the determination of incentive fees. Adjusted NII is not meant as a substitute for net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in the context of the entirety of our reported results of operations, financial position and cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted NII is set forth in Schedule I to this press release.

Increased fee acceleration as a result of increased portfolio runoff also contributed to the increase. Expenses For the three months ended December 31, 2021 , management and incentive fees increased $3.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 , primarily due to an increase in the Income Incentive Fee of $1.5 million and an increase in the Capital Gains Fee. The Capital Gains Fee is currently not payable under the terms of the Advisory Agreement but was calculated in accordance with GAAP which requires the inclusion of aggregate unrealized appreciation on investments. Net Gain (Loss) on Investments For the three months ended December 31, 2021 , net gain on investments of $14.7 million was primarily due to unrealized appreciation of $10.1 million on our common equity investment in Pfanstiehl Holdings, Inc.

Adjusted NII represents net investment income excluding the capital gains incentive fee in periods in which such expense occurs. GAAP requires recognition of a capital gains incentive fee in our financial statements if aggregate net realized and unrealized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date of the election to be a BDC through the reporting date is positive. Such fees are subject to further conditions specified in the investment advisory agreement with OFS Capital Management, LLC , principally related to the realization of such net gains, before OFS Capital Management, LLC is entitled to payment, and such recognized fees are subject to the risk of reversal should unrealized gains diminish to become losses. Management believes that Adjusted NII is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee, as net investment income does not include the net gains, realized or unrealized, associated with the capital gains incentive fee. Management believes Adjusted NII facilitates analysis of our results of operations and provides greater transparency into the determination of incentive fees. Adjusted NII is not meant as a substitute for net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in the context of the entirety of our reported results of operations, financial position and cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation from net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted NII for the three months ended and years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited): Three Months Ended December 31 , Years Ended December 31 , 2021 2020 2021 2020 (000's) Per Share (000's) Per Share (000's) Per Share (000's) Per Share Net investment income $ 4,430 $ 0.33 $ 3,004 $ 0.22 $ 13,450 $ 1.00 $ 12,295 $ 0.92 Capital Gains Fee 1,814 0.14 — — 1,916 0.14 — — Adjusted NII $ 6,244 $ 0.47 $ 3,004 $ 0.22 $ 15,366 $ 1.14 $ 12,295 $ 0.92 Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
