mainstcapital.comNYSE: MAINMain Street Capital Corporation www.mainstcapital.com Page 7 Enhanced Value Proposition - Three Ways to Win are Better Than One 1. Sustain and Grow Dividends • Efficient operating structure provides operating leverage to grow Distributable Net Investment Income (DNII)(1), and dividends paid, as investment portfolio and total investment income grow • 136% increase in monthly dividends from $0.33 per share paid in Q4 2007(2) to declared dividends of $0.78 per share for Q1 2026 • Never decreased regular monthly dividends (including through 2008/2009 recession and 2020/2021 COVID-19 pandemic) • Paid or declared $47.935(3) per share in total dividends since IPO(2) at $15.00 per share ($40.095(3) per share in regular dividends and $7.84(3) per share in supplemental dividends) • Multi-faceted investment strategy supports growth of dividends over various cycles and markets 2.

Supplement Growth in DNII(1) with Periodic Realized Gains • LMM equity component of investment strategy provides opportunity for meaningful realized gains (analogous to PIK income on debt investments from cash flow perspective, but more tax efficient and without cap on upside) • Realized gains validate the quality of the unrealized appreciation on MAIN’s LMM equity investments • Realized gains can be retained for future reinvestment due to MAIN’s unique tax structure or paid to shareholders as dividends MAIN Strategy Produces Differentiated Returns Refer to Endnotes beginning on page 48 of this presentation

mainstcapital.comNYSE: MAINMain Street Capital Corporation www.mainstcapital.com Page 46 Non-GAAP Information Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right). MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non- cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Distributable net investment income before taxes is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non- cash compensation expenses (as defined on the right) and any tax expenses included in net investment income. MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income before taxes and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing our financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement, and since tax expenses included in net investment income may include excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to net investment income, and deferred taxes, which are not payable in the current period. However, distributable net investment income before taxes is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income, net investment income before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Non-cash compensation expenses consist of (i) share-based compensation and (ii) deferred compensation expense or benefit, both of which are non-cash in nature. Share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. Deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. The appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets is reflected in MAIN’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and an increase (decrease) in compensation expenses, respectively. MAIN believes presenting non-cash compensation expenses is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a net cash impact to MAIN upon settlement. However, non-cash compensation expenses are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as a replacement for compensation expenses, total expenses or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Net Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated as the Debt to NAV Ratio as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except that total debt is reduced by cash and cash equivalents. The Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated in the same manner as the Debt to NAV Ratio, except that outstanding SBIC debentures are excluded from the debt pursuant to an exemptive order MAIN received from the SEC. MAIN believes presenting the Net Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial position and leverage. MAIN believes presenting the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because MAIN, a business development company, is permitted to exclude such borrowings from its regulatory asset coverage ratio calculation pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC. However, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as replacements for the Debt to NAV Ratio and other financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Regulatory Debt to NAV Ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial position.
