Board Composition and Leadership Structure
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board consists of eight members, seven of whom are Independent Directors. The Board elects the Companys officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include quarterly valuation of the Companys assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of our financing arrangements and oversight of our investment activities.
The Boards role in the management of the Company is one of oversight. Oversight of the Companys investment activities extends to oversight of the risk management processes employed by GSAM as part of its day-to-day management of our investment activities. The Board reviews risk management processes at both regular and special Board meetings throughout the year, consulting with appropriate representatives of GSAM as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or presentations. The goal of the Boards risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks associated with our investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. Stockholders should note, however, that the Boards oversight function cannot eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the value of the Companys investments.
Our Board has established an Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee, Compliance Committee and Contract Review Committee. The scope of each committees responsibilities is discussed in greater detail below.
Ashok N. Bakhru, an Independent Director, serves as Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Stockholders for Mr. Bakhru to lead the Board because of his familiarity with our portfolio companies, his broad experience with the day-to-day management and operation of other investment funds and his significant background in the financial services industry, as described above. Mr. Bakhru will generally act as a liaison between our management, officers and attorneys between meetings of the Board and preside over all executive sessions of the Independent Directors without management. The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Board also believes that its size creates an efficient corporate governance structure that provides opportunity for direct communication and interaction between management and the Board.
The Board had seven formal meetings in 2015. Each nominee and continuing director that was a member of the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the respective committees on which he or she served. To promote effectiveness of the Board, directors are strongly encouraged to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings in person.
One of our directors attended the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

All candidates nominated for an Independent Director position must meet applicable independence requirements and have the capacity to address financial and legal issues and exercise reasonable business judgment. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers a variety of criteria in evaluating candidates (including candidates nominated by a Stockholder), including (1) experience in business, financial or investment matters or in other fields of endeavor; (2) financial literacy and/or whether he or she is an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K; (3) reputation; (4) ability to attend scheduled Board and committee meetings; (5) general availability to attend to Board business on short notice; (6) actual or potential business, family or other conflicts bearing on either the candidates independence or the business of the Company; (7) length of potential service; (8) commitment to the representation of the interests of the Company and the Stockholders; (9) commitment to maintaining and improving his or her skills and education; (10) experience in corporate governance and best business practices; and (11) the diversity that he or she would bring to the Boards composition.
The Governance and Nominating Committee considers nominees properly recommended by a Stockholder. Our bylaws provide that for any nomination to be properly brought by a Stockholder for a meeting, such Stockholder must comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a Stockholders notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of Stockholders. Our bylaws further provide that nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting may be made only by or at the direction of the Board and, provided that the Board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the bylaws.

License Agreement

Co-Investment Opportunities
The Company has in the past co-invested, and expects in the future to co-invest, on a concurrent basis with other funds managed by GSAM and its affiliates, unless doing so is impermissible under existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations or GSAMs allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if the Company receives an order from the SEC permitting the Company to do so. The Company and GSAM have submitted an exemptive application to the SEC seeking greater flexibility to negotiate the terms of co-investments with other funds managed by GSAM or its affiliates, if the Board determines that it would be advantageous for the Company to engage in such co-investments and if the co-investments are consistent with the Companys investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain any such order from the SEC.

The Audit Committee conducts quarterly reviews of any potential related party transactions brought to its attention and, during these reviews, it also considers any conflicts of interest brought to its attention pursuant to the Companys Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics.

The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GSAM. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to the Company, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to the Companys investment adviser (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Company) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Company.
The Audit Committee has considered these fees and the nature of the services rendered, and has concluded that they are compatible with maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit Committee did not approve any of the audit-related, tax, or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the de minimis exceptions set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not provide any audit-related services, tax services or other non-audit services to GSAM or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Company that the Audit Committee was required to approve pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of
19
Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to GSAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Company that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs independence.
Audit Committee Report (1)
The following is the report of the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (the Company) with respect to the Companys audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the Audited Financial Statements).
The Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the Audited Financial Statements with the management of the Company; (b) discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Standard No. 16, as modified or supplemented; and (c) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 regarding the independent auditors communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditor the auditors independence.
The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Company for accounting, financial management or internal control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the Companys independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committees oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committees considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Companys financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on its consideration of the Audited Financial Statements and the discussions referred to above with management and the Companys independent auditor, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the charter and those discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Audited Financial Statements be accepted by the Board of Directors and included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2
AUTHORIZATION TO SELL AND OTHERWISE ISSUE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK BELOW NET ASSET VALUE
The Company is a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, the Company is generally prohibited from issuing its common stock at a price below the then current NAV unless it meets certain conditions, including obtaining Stockholder approval.
As a result, the Company is seeking the approval of the Stockholders so that it may, in one or more public or private offerings of its common stock, sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock, not exceeding 25% of its then outstanding common stock, at a price below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth in this Proposal. If approved, the authorization would be effective for securities issued during a twelve-month period following such Stockholder approval.
The Board, including all of the directors who have no financial interest in this proposal and all of the Independent Directors, has unanimously approved this Proposal as in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders and recommends it to the Stockholders for their approval. For these purposes, directors are not deemed to have a financial interest solely by reason of their ownership of the Companys common stock. The Board believes that the flexibility for the Company to sell common stock below NAV would, among other benefits, provide access to the capital markets to pursue attractive investment and acquisition opportunities during periods of volatility and add financial flexibility to comply with regulatory requirements and credit facility covenants, including the asset coverage ratio requirements of the 1940 Act. Upon obtaining the requisite Stockholder approval, the Company will comply with the conditions described in this Proxy Statement in connection with any offering undertaken pursuant to this Proposal. A discussion of the risks of dilution appears below.
Background and Reasons to Offer Common Stock Below NAV
Market Conditions Have Created, and May in the Future Create, Attractive Investment and Acquisition Opportunities
From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, from 2008 to 2009, the global capital markets were unstable as evidenced by the lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions. Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and various foreign governments, worsening general economic conditions materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. While market conditions generally have improved from the beginning of the disruption, there have been recent periods of volatility and adverse market conditions may repeat themselves in the future. For example, during the later part of 2015 and into the early part of 2016, evidence of slowing global economic growth, geopolitical tensions and extraordinary monetary policy in certain parts of the world combined to disrupt financial markets, particularly for financial companies such as BDCs many of which trade at prices that are well below net asset value. We believe that attractive investment opportunities may present themselves during these periods of volatility, including opportunities to make acquisitions of other companies or investment portfolios at compelling values.
However, these periods of market disruption and instability may adversely affect the Companys access to sufficient debt and equity capital in order to take advantage of attractive investment and acquisition opportunities that are created during these periods. Debt capital that will be available, if any, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions, and market volatility may adversely affect the market price of the
21
Companys common stock, causing it to trade at a price below NAV. Stockholder approval to sell shares of the Companys common stock below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth in this Proposal 2, would provide the Company with the flexibility to invest in such attractive investment and acquisition opportunities, which typically need to be made expeditiously.
Status as a BDC and RIC and Maintaining a Favorable Debt to Equity Ratio
As a BDC and a regulated investment company (RIC) for tax purposes, the Company is dependent on its ability to raise capital through the issuance of its common stock. RICs generally must distribute substantially all of their earnings to stockholders as dividends in order to achieve pass-through tax treatment, which prevents the Company from retaining a meaningful amount of earnings to support operations or growth. Further, as a BDC the Company generally must maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 2 to 1 in order to incur additional indebtedness. The Companys revolving credit facility requires an asset coverage ratio of at least 2 to 1 as well. Therefore, to continue to grow the Companys investment portfolio, the Company must maintain access to the equity capital markets.
Failure to maintain the required asset coverage ratio could have severe negative consequences for the Company, including the inability to pay dividends and breach of covenants in the Companys credit facility. Although the Company does not currently expect to breach the asset coverage ratio, the markets it operates in and the general economy may be volatile and uncertain. Even if the underlying performance of one or more portfolio companies may not indicate an impairment or inability to repay all principal and interest in full, volatility in the capital markets may negatively impact the valuations of investments and create unrealized capital depreciation on certain investments. Any such write-downs in value (as well as unrealized capital depreciation based on the underlying performance of the Companys portfolio companies, if any) will negatively impact the Companys total assets and the resulting asset coverage ratio. Issuing additional equity would allow the Company to realign its debt to equity ratio and avoid these negative consequences. In addition to meeting legal requirements applicable to BDCs, having a more favorable debt to equity ratio would also generally strengthen the Companys balance sheet and give it more flexibility to fully execute its business strategy.
Board Approval
The Board believes that having the flexibility to issue common stock below NAV in certain instances is in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders. This would, among other things, provide access to capital markets to pursue attractive investment and acquisition opportunities during periods of volatility and add financial flexibility to comply with regulatory requirements and credit facility covenants.
While the Company has no immediate plans to issue any shares of its common stock below NAV, it is seeking Stockholder approval now in order to provide flexibility if it desires in the future to issue shares of its common stock below NAV, which typically must be undertaken quickly. The final terms of any such sale will be determined by the Board at the time of issuance and the shares of common stock will not include preemptive rights. Also, because the Company has no immediate plans to issue any shares of its common stock below NAV, it is not possible to describe the transaction or transactions in which such shares of common stock would be issued. Instead, any transaction in which the Company issues such shares of common stock, including the nature and amount of consideration that would be received by the Company at the time of issuance and the use of any such consideration, will be reviewed and approved by the Board at the time of issuance. If this Proposal 2 is approved, no further authorization from the Stockholders will be solicited prior to any such issuance in accordance with the terms of this Proposal. If approved, the authorization would be effective for securities issued during a twelve-month period following such Stockholder approval.

Trading History
The following table sets forth, for each fiscal quarter since the Companys initial public offering, the NAV of the Companys common stock, the range of high and low closing sales prices of the Companys common stock reported on the NYSE, the closing sales prices as a premium (discount) to NAV and the dividends or distributions declared by us. On April 4, 2016, the last reported closing sales price of the Companys common stock on the NYSE was $19.58 per share, which represented a premium of approximately 3.2% to the NAV as of December 31, 2015.

Examples of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV
The following three headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples on the impact of a public offering of the Companys common stock at a price less than NAV on three different types of investors:
| existing Stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the offering; |
| existing Stockholders who purchase a relatively small amount of shares in the offering or a relatively large amount of shares in the offering; and |
| new investors who become Stockholders by purchasing shares in the offering. |
A sale of common stock at a price less than NAV to a third party in a private placement would have an impact substantially similar to the impact on existing Stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the public offerings described below.
Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in the Offering
Existing Stockholders who do not participate in an offering below NAV per share or who do not buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price obtained by the Company in the offering (after any underwriting discounts and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. These Stockholders will experience an immediate dilution in the NAV of the shares of common stock they hold. These Stockholders will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in the Companys earnings and assets and their voting power than the increase the Company will experience in its assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These Stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of
23
their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases. Further, if Stockholders do not purchase any shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below NAV, their voting power will be diluted.
The following chart illustrates the level of NAV dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating Stockholder in three different hypothetical offerings of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV. The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15,000,000 in total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10,000,000 and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the dilutive effect on nonparticipating stockholder A of (1) an offering of 50,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV); (2) an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV); (3) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $7.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV); and (4) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $0.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 100% discount from NAV). The prospectus pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering and the actual discount from the most recently determined NAV. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only.

Impact on Existing Stockholders who Participate in the Offering
Existing Stockholders who participate in an offering below NAV or who buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as the Company obtains in the offering (after expenses and commissions) will experience the same types of NAV dilution as the nonparticipating Stockholders, although at a lower level, to the extent they purchase less than the same percentage of the discounted offering as their interest in shares of the Companys common stock immediately prior to the offering. The level of NAV dilution will decrease as the number of shares such Stockholders purchase increases. Existing Stockholders who buy more than such percentage will experience NAV dilution but will, in contrast to existing Stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering, experience accretion in NAV over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater increase in their participation in the Companys earnings and assets and their voting power than the Companys increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. The level of accretion will increase as the excess number of shares such Stockholder purchases increases. Even a Stockholder who over-participates will, however, be subject to the risk that the Company may make additional discounted offerings in which such Stockholder does not participate, in which case such a Stockholder will experience NAV dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These Stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.
The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15,000,000 in total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10,000,000 and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the dilutive and accretive effect in the hypothetical 25% discount offering from the prior chart for stockholder A that acquires shares equal to (1) 50% of their proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 1,250 shares, which is 0.50% of the offering of 250,000 shares rather than their 1.00% proportionate share) and (2) 150% of their proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 3,750 shares, which is 1.50% of the offering of 250,000 shares rather than their 1.00% proportionate share). The prospectus pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering and the actual discount from the most recently determined NAV per share. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only.

Impact on New Investors
Investors who are not currently Stockholders and who participate in an offering of the Companys common stock below NAV, but whose investment per share is greater than the resulting NAV due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company, will experience an immediate decrease, although small, in NAV of their shares and their NAV compared to the price they pay for their shares. Investors who are not currently Stockholders and who participate in an offering of the Companys common stock below NAV and whose investment per share is also less than the resulting NAV due to selling compensation and expenses paid by the Company being significantly less than the discount per share, will experience an immediate increase in the NAV of their shares and their NAV compared to the price they pay for their shares. These investors will experience a disproportionately greater participation in the Companys earnings and assets and their voting power than the Companys increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to such offering. These investors will, however, be subject to the risk that the Company may make additional discounted offerings in which such new Stockholder does not participate, in which case such new Stockholder will experience dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These investors may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.
The following examples illustrate the level of NAV dilution or accretion that would be experienced by a new stockholder who purchases the same percentage (1.00%) of the shares in the three different hypothetical offerings of common stock of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV per share. The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15,000,000 in total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10,000,000 and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the dilutive and accretive effects on stockholder A at (1) an offering of 50,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV); (2) an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV); (3) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $7.50 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV); and (4) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $0.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 100% discount from NAV). The prospectus pursuant to which any discounted offering is made will include a chart for these examples based on the actual number of shares in such offering and the actual discount from the most recently determined NAV per share. It is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only.

Conditions to Sales Below NAV
If Stockholders approve this Proposal, the Company will only issue shares of its common stock at a price below NAV pursuant to such approval if the following conditions are met:
| a required majority of the Companys directors have determined that any such sale would be in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders; and |
| a required majority of the Companys directors, in consultation with the underwriter or underwriters of the offering if it is to be underwritten, have determined in good faith, and as of a time immediately prior to the first solicitation by or on behalf of the Company of firm commitments to purchase such common stock or immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock, that the price at which such shares of common stock are to be sold is not less than a price which closely approximates the market value of those, less any distributing commission or discount. |
For purposes of this Proposal, the 1940 Act defines a required majority of directors as both (1) a majority of the Companys directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and (2) a majority of the Independent Directors. For these purposes, directors are not deemed to have a financial interest solely by reason of their ownership of the Companys common stock.
The Board may determine to issue shares of the Companys common stock below NAV in a registered public offering or in a private placement either with or without an obligation to seek to register their resale at the
27
request of the holders. The Board may also determine to use an underwriter or placement agent to assist in selling such shares of common stock if it concludes that doing so would assist in marketing such securities on favorable terms.
Key Stockholder Considerations
Before voting on this Proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, Stockholders should consider the potentially dilutive effect on the NAV of the issuance of shares of the Companys common stock at a price less than NAV. Any sale of common stock by the Company at a price below NAV would result in an immediate dilution to existing Stockholders on a per share basis. This dilution would include reduction in the NAV as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below NAV and a proportionately greater decrease in a Stockholders per share interest in the earnings and assets of the Company and per share voting interest in the Company than the increase in the assets of the Company resulting from such issuance.
The 1940 Act establishes a connection between market price and NAV because, when stock is sold or otherwise issued at a market price below NAV, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. The Board will consider the potential dilutive effect of the issuance of shares at a price below NAV when considering whether to authorize any such issuance pursuant to the Stockholder approval being sought here.
Stockholders should also consider that they will have no subscription, preferential or preemptive rights to additional shares of common stock proposed to be authorized for issuance, and thus any future issuance of common stock at a price below NAV would dilute a Stockholders holdings of common stock as a percentage of shares outstanding to the extent the Stockholder does not purchase sufficient shares in the offering or otherwise to maintain the Stockholders percentage interest. Further, if the Stockholder does not purchase, or is unable to purchase, any shares to maintain the Stockholders percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is at a price above or below the then-current NAV, the Stockholders voting power will be diluted.
As discussed above, the maximum number of shares issuable below NAV that could result in such dilution is limited to 25% of the Companys then outstanding common stock.
Approval of this Proposal requires the affirmative vote of Stockholders holding (1) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting and (2) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting that are not held by affiliated persons of the Company. For purposes of this Proposal, the 1940 Act defines a majority of outstanding voting securities of a Company as: the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company are present or represented by proxy; and (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
THE BOARD, INCLUDING EACH OF THE COMPANYS DIRECTORS WHO HAVE NO FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE TRANSACTION AND EACH OF THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 2.
28
OTHER BUSINESS
The management of the Company does not know of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting. If such matters are properly brought before the Meeting, proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted in accordance with the judgment of Caroline Kraus and Jason Colombo, who are the persons named as proxy.
VOTE REQUIRED FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND APPROVAL OF OTHER MATTERS AT THE MEETING
A quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. There were 36,306,880 shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Cumulative voting is not permitted.
Election of Directors
The election of each nominee requires a majority of the votes cast by all Stockholders present, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting, provided that if, as of the tenth (10th) day preceding the date the Company first mails the notice of such meeting to the Stockholders, the number of nominees for the directorships (or, if applicable, the directorships of a particular class of directors) exceeds the number of such directors to be elected, such directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.
Authorization of Sell or Otherwise Issue Shares of Common Stock Below NAV
Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of Stockholders holding (1) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting and (2) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting that are not held by affiliated persons of the Company. For purposes of Proposal 2, the 1940 Act defines a majority of outstanding voting securities of a Company as: the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company are present or represented by proxy; and (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
Broker Non-Votes
Broker non-votes are shares held in an account with an Authorized Institution for which the broker indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote, and the broker does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to a non-routine proposal. Because both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are non-routine matters, broker non-votes are not entitled to vote at the Meeting, will be treated as shares that are not present for quorum purposes at the Meeting and will have no effect on the approval of either Proposal 1 or Proposal 2.
Abstentions
Abstentions will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be voted for or against the Proposal for which the proxy card has been marked Abstain. Accordingly, abstentions will have no effect on the Proposal 1 and will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 2.
29
Adjournment
If less than a quorum is present at the Meeting or if an insufficient number of votes is present for the approval of the Proposals, the chairman of the Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the Meeting.
A vote may be taken on either Proposal prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such Proposal.
