We encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting in person at the Annual Meeting or by granting a proxy (i.e., authorizing someone to vote your shares).

This program provides eligible stockholders who receive a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and proxy statement, either by paper or electronically, the opportunity to vote via the Internet or by telephone.

ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

Date and Location

We will hold the Annual Meeting on November 6, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the offices of Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP, The Grace Building, 40^th Floor, 1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036.

Admission

Only record or beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on September 17, 2019 or their proxies may attend the Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners must also provide evidence of stock holdings, such as a recent brokerage account or bank statement.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the following proposals:

1. To elect one director of the Company nominated by the Board and named in this proxy statement who will serve for three years or until his successor is elected and qualified;

1

2. To approve a proposal to authorize the Company, with the approval of the Board, to sell or otherwise issue up to 25% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at an offering price that is below the Company’s then current net asset value per share (“NAV”); and

3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

VOTING INFORMATION

Record Date and Quorum Required

The record date of the Annual Meeting is the close of business on September 17, 2019 (the “Record Date”). You may cast one vote for each share of common stock that you own as of the Record Date.

A quorum of stockholders must be present for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. On the Record Date, there were 13,625,533 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 6,812,767 must be represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.

If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders who are represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment, unless marked to be voted against any proposal for which an adjournment is sought, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Submitting Voting Instructions for Shares Held Through a Broker

If you hold shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the voting instructions you receive from your broker, bank or nominee. If you hold shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee and you want to vote in person at the meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares and present it at the meeting. If you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will not be permitted to vote your shares on any proposal considered at the meeting.

Authorizing a Proxy for Shares Held in Your Name

If you are a record holder of shares of common stock, you may authorize a proxy to vote on your behalf by mail, as described on the enclosed proxy card. Authorizing a proxy will not limit your right to vote in person at the meeting. A properly completed, executed and submitted proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions, unless you subsequently revoke the proxy. If you authorize a proxy without indicating your voting instructions, the proxyholder will vote your shares according to the Board’s recommendations.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy by (1) delivering a written revocation notice prior to the Annual Meeting to our Secretary, Christopher E. Jansen, at 65 East 55th Street, 15th Floor New York, NY 10022; (2) delivering a later-dated proxy that we receive no later than the opening of the polls at the meeting; or (3) voting in person at the meeting. If you hold shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions you receive from your nominee in order to revoke your voting instructions. Attending the Annual Meeting does not revoke your proxy unless you also vote in person at the meeting.

Vote Required

Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed	Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Proposal 1 — To elect one director of the Company nominated by the Board and named in this proxy statement who will serve for three years or until his successor is elected and qualified.	Affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting.	No	Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes, an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
Proposal 2 — To approve a proposal to authorize the Company, with the approval of the Board, to sell or otherwise issue up to 25% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at an offering price that is below the Company’s then current NAV per share.

For purposes of this proposal, the 1940 Act defines “a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock” as: (A) 67% or more of the shares of common stock present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are present or represented by proxy; or (B) 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, whichever is the less.	No	Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SOLICITATION

The Company will bear the expense of the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, printing, and mailing this proxy statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and the proxy card. We have requested that brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons holding shares in their names, or in the name of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, forward the proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in so doing.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited in person and by telephone or facsimile transmission by directors, officers or regular employees of the Company or CM Investment Partners LLC (our “Adviser” and administrator) (for which no director, officer or regular employee will receive any additional or special compensation). The address of our Adviser is 65 East 55th Street, 15th Floor New York, NY 10022.

The Company has engaged the services of AST Fund Solutions, LLC for the purpose of assisting in the solicitation of proxies at an anticipated cost of approximately $25,000 plus reimbursement of certain expenses and fees for additional services requested. Please note that AST Fund Solutions, LLC may solicit stockholder proxies by telephone on behalf of the Company. They will not attempt to influence how you vote your shares, but only ask that you take the time to authorize your proxy. You may also be asked if you would like to authorize your proxy over the telephone and to have your voting instructions transmitted to the Company’s proxy tabulation firm.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokerages and other institutional holders of record have implemented householding. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their addresses and would like to request information about householding of their communications should contact their brokers or other intermediary holder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to: Christopher E. Jansen, Secretary, Investcorp Credit Management BDC, Inc., 65 East 55th Street, 15th Floor New York, NY 10022.

EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING THE INVESTCORP TRANSACTION

On June 26, 2019, Investcorp Credit Management US LLC (“Investcorp”), a subsidiary of Investcorp Bank B.S.C., entered into a definitive interest purchase agreement to acquire a majority ownership interest in the Adviser through its purchase of the respective equity positions held by certain funds (the “Cyrus Funds”) managed by Cyrus Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cyrus Capital”) and Stifel Venture Corp. (“Stifel”), and newly issued interests in the Adviser (the “Adviser Transaction”).

In addition, on June 26, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive stock purchase and transaction agreement with Investcorp BDC Holdings Limited (“Investcorp BDC”), an affiliate of Investcorp (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, following the initial closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement on August 30,

4

2019 (the “Closing”) and prior to the second anniversary of the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), Investcorp BDC will purchase (i) 680,985 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the most recently determined net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of such purchase, as adjusted as necessary to comply with Section 23 of the 1940 Act, and (ii) 680,985 shares of the Company’s common stock in open-market or secondary transactions.

On August 28, 2019, the Board elected Thomas Sullivan as a director of the Company, effective as of September 15, 2019, to serve on the Board for the term indicated below under “Proposal No. 1 Election of Director.”

Per the requirements of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Christopher Jansen resigned from the Board, effective as of August 30, 2019. Per the requirements of a Letter Agreement, dated August 28, 2019, between the Company and Investcorp BDC (the “Waiver Agreement”) amending certain terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Robert Ryder and Robert Wagner resigned from their positions on the Board, effective as of September 15, 2019. The Waiver Agreement further provides Investcorp BDC with the right to identify a second director candidate to the Board (the “Post-Closing Designated Director”) prior to March 31, 2020; provided that if by March 31, 2020 the Post-Closing Designated Director has not been elected to the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board has rejected one or more proposed Post-Closing Designated Directors, then such date will be extended for such period of time as necessary for Investcorp to propose a qualified Post-Closing Designated Director, but in any event not beyond August 30, 2020. In addition, as required under the Waiver Agreement, Keith Lee delivered a letter to the Chairman of the Board indicating that, in light of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Adviser Transaction, he intends to resign as a member of the Board upon the recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the Board to appoint the Post-Closing Designated Director and the appointment by the Board of the Post-Closing Designated Director to the Board. In accordance with the Waiver Agreement, the size of the Board was reduced to four members, effective as of September 15, 2019.

On August 30, 2019, in connection with the Closing, the Company entered into a new investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and a new administration agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “Administration Agreement”). The Company’s then-current Board unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement at a meeting on June 26, 2019 and the Company’s stockholders approved the Advisory Agreement at a special meeting of stockholders held on August 28, 2019.

On August 30, 2019, the Company changed its name to Investcorp Credit Management BDC, Inc.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Pursuant to our articles of amendment and restatement and bylaws, the number of directors on our Board is currently fixed at four directors and is divided into three classes. Each director holds office for the term to which he or she is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. At each Annual Meeting, the successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at such meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or any director’s earlier resignation, death or removal.

Michael C. Mauer has been nominated for re-election for a three-year term expiring in 2022. Mr. Mauer is not is being nominated to serve as a director pursuant to any agreement or understanding between him and the Company.

A stockholder can vote for or withhold his or her vote for the nominee. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of the nominee named in this proxy statement. If the nominee should decline or be unable to serve as a director, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for the election of such person as is nominated by the Board as a replacement. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve.

Required Vote

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. If you vote “withhold authority” with respect to the nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to such person. Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes, an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote and, therefore, is not offered as a voting option for this proposal.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Information about Directors and Executive Officers

Board of Directors

We have adopted provisions in our articles of amendment and restatement that divide our Board into three classes. At each annual meeting, directors will be elected for staggered terms of three years (other than the initial terms, which extend for up to three years), with the term of office of only one of these three classes of directors expiring each year. Each director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.

Information regarding Mr. Mauer, who is being nominated for election as a director of the Company by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, as well as information about our current directors whose terms of office will continue after the Annual Meeting, is as follows:

Biographical Information

The Board considered whether each of the directors is qualified to serve as a director, based on a review of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each director, including those described below. The Board considered whether each director has significant experience in the investment or financial services industries and has held management, board or oversight positions in other companies and organizations. For the purposes of this presentation, our directors have been divided into two groups — independent directors and interested directors. Interested directors are “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act.

Independent Directors

Keith Lee has served as a member of the Board and chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board since 2013. Since September 15, 2019, Mr. Lee has served as chair of the Audit Committee of the Board. Mr. Lee is the Chief Executive Officer of Feenix Venture Partners, LLC (“Feenix”), an investment firm that makes equity, debt and hybrid investments in small businesses that need growth capital. Prior to Feenix, Mr. Lee was a Partner and Managing Director in charge of Capital Markets at H/2 Capital Partners, a multi-billion dollar investment manager focused on commercial real estate related debt investments. He served on H/2’s Executive and Investment Committees. Mr. Lee has over 20 years of experience working with global financial institutions on the buy and sell side. Prior to H/2, Mr. Lee was a Managing Director and Head of Structured Financing-Americas at UBS Investment Bank. He also held senior positions at Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers in principal funding and investments and as head of US CLO Origination. Mr. Lee has an MBA from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and a BA in Economics and Philosophy from Knox College and serves on Knox’s board of trustees. We believe Mr. Lee’s extensive experience with financial institutions and his knowledge of capital markets and structured financing brings important and valuable skills to our board of directors.

Board of Directors and Its Leadership Structure

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Pursuant to our articles of amendment and restatement, the number of directors on our Board is currently fixed at four directors and divided into three classes. Three of the members of our Board are not “interested persons” of the Company, or its affiliates as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. We refer to these individuals as our “independent directors.” The Board elects our officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include quarterly valuation of our assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of our financing arrangements and oversight of our investment activities.

Oversight of our investment activities extends to oversight of the risk management processes employed by our Adviser as part of its day-to-day management of our investment activities. The Board anticipates reviewing risk management processes at both regular and special board meetings throughout the year, consulting with appropriate representatives of our Adviser as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or presentations. The goal of the Board’s risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks

11

associated with our investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. Stockholders should note, however, that the Board’s oversight function cannot eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the value of investments.

The Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a valuation committee and may establish additional committees from time to time as necessary. While our Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, the committees assist our Board in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to risk oversight. As discussed in greater detail below, committees assist our Board in the following ways:

• the audit committee of the Board (“Audit Committee”) assists with respect to risk management in the areas of financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

• the nominating and governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) assists with respect to management of risks associated with Board organization and membership, and other corporate governance matters, as well as company culture and ethical compliance;

• the valuation committee of the Board (the “Valuation Committee”) assists with respect to management risks related to the valuation of our investment portfolio; and

• the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) assists with respect to management of risks related to executive succession.

The scope of the responsibilities assigned to each of these committees is discussed in greater detail below. Mr. Mauer serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and the Managing Member and Co-Chief Investment Officer of our Adviser and Mr. Jansen serves as our President and Secretary and is a member of and the Co-Chief Investment Officer of our Adviser. We believe that Mr. Mauer’s history with our Adviser and its predecessor, CM Investment Partners, LP, his familiarity with its investment platform, and his extensive knowledge of and experience in the financial services industry qualify him to serve as the Chairman of our Board.

The Board does not have a lead independent director. We are aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when a non-independent director is Chairman of the Board, but believe these potential conflicts are offset by our strong corporate governance practices. Our corporate governance practices include regular meetings of the independent directors in executive session without the presence of interested directors and management, the establishment of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Valuation Committee, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors, and the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer, with whom the independent directors meet without the presence of interested directors and other members of management, for administering our compliance policies and procedures.

The Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of our characteristics and circumstances because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that affords effective oversight. Specifically, the Board believes that the relationship of Mr. Mauer with our Adviser provides an effective bridge between the Board and management and encourages an open dialogue between management and our Board, ensuring that these groups act with a common purpose. The Board also believes that its small size creates a highly efficient governance structure that provides ample opportunity for direct communication and interaction between our management, our Adviser and the Board.

Board Meetings

The Board met eight times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which the director served that were held while the director was a member. The Board’s standing committees are set forth below. We require each director to make a

12

diligent effort to attend all Board and committee meetings, as well as each Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All of the members of the Board attended our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Lee, Ms. Persily, and Mr. Sullivan, each of whom is independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and NASDAQ corporate governance regulations. Mr. Lee serves as chairman of the Audit Committee. Our Board has determined that Mr. Lee is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act and he serves as the chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Board has adopted a charter of the Audit Committee, which is available in print to any stockholder who requests it and it is also available on the Company’s website at www.icmbdc.com. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

The Audit Committee is responsible for approving our independent accountants, reviewing with our independent accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional services provided by our independent accountants, reviewing the independence of our independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Lee, Ms. Persily, and Mr. Sullivan, each of whom is independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and the NASDAQ corporate governance regulations. Ms. Persily serves as chairperson of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our compensation policies generally, evaluating executive officer performance, overseeing and setting compensation for our directors and, as applicable, our executive officers and, as applicable, preparing the report on executive officer compensation that SEC rules require to be included in our annual proxy statement. Currently, none of our executive officers is compensated by us, and as such, the compensation committee is not required to produce a report on executive officer compensation for inclusion in our annual proxy statement.

The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant assisting the Compensation Committee, including sole authority to approve all such compensation consultants’ fees and other retention terms. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to subcommittees or the chairperson of the Compensation Committee when it deems appropriate and in our best interests.

The Compensation Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Lee, Ms. Persily, and Mr. Sullivan, each of whom is independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and the NASDAQ corporate governance regulations. Mr. Lee serves as chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee of the Board, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and our management.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees to the Board recommended by a stockholder if such stockholder complies with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that a stockholder who wishes to nominate a person for election as a director at a meeting of stockholders must deliver written notice to our corporate secretary. This notice must contain, as to each nominee, all of the information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement meeting the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain other

13

information set forth in the bylaws. In order to be eligible to be a nominee for election as a director by a stockholder, such potential nominee must deliver to our corporate secretary a written questionnaire providing the requested information about the background and qualifications of such person, and would be in compliance with all of our publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying individuals for election as members of the Board, but the committee will consider such factors as it may deem are in our best interests and those of our stockholders. Those factors may include a person’s differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education and skills, as well as his or her race, gender and national origin. In addition, as part of the Board’s annual self-assessment, the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate the membership of the Board and whether the Board maintains satisfactory policies regarding membership selection.

A charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is available in print to any stockholder who requests it, and it is also available on the Company’s website at www.icmbdc.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Valuation Committee

The Valuation Committee is composed of Mr. Lee, Ms. Persily, and Mr. Sullivan, each of whom is not an interested person for purposes of the 1940 Act and is independent for purposes of the NASDAQ corporate governance regulations. Ms. Persily serves as the chairperson of the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee is responsible for aiding the Board in fair value pricing of our debt and equity investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. The Board and the Valuation Committee utilize the services of an independent valuation firm to help them determine the fair value of these securities. The Board has engaged an independent valuation firm to review, on a periodic basis, at least once annually, the valuation for each of our Level 3 investments. We invest primarily in investments classified as Level 3. The Board, including the members of the Valuation Committee, also meet with the independent valuation firm periodically review the methodology of the independent valuation firm. The Valuation Committee reviews subsequent transactions to test the accuracy of the independent valuation firm’s valuations. The Valuation Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Documents

We maintain a corporate governance webpage at the “Investor Relations” link at www.icmbdc.com.

Our Corporate Governance Procedures, Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Code of Ethics and Board committee charters are available at our corporate governance webpage at www.icmbdc.com and are also available to any stockholder who requests them by writing to our Secretary, Christopher E. Jansen, at Investcorp Credit Management BDC, Inc., 65 East 55th Street, 15th Floor New York, NY 10022.

Director Independence

In accordance with rules of NASDAQ, the Board annually determines the independence of each director. No director is considered independent unless the Board has determined that he or she has no material relationship with the Company. The Company monitors the status of its directors and officers through the activities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and through a questionnaire to be completed by each director no less frequently than annually, with updates periodically if information provided in the most recent questionnaire has changed.

In order to evaluate the materiality of any such relationship, the Board uses the definition of director independence set forth in the NASDAQ listing rules. Section 5605 provides that a director of a BDC shall be considered to be independent if he or she is not an “interested person” of the Company, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an “interested person” to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the Company or our Adviser.

The Board has determined that each of the directors is independent and has no relationship with the Company, except as a director and stockholder of the Company, with the exception of Mr. Mauer, who is an interested person of the Company due to his positions as an officer of the Company and as an officer of our Adviser.

Annual Evaluation

Our directors perform an evaluation, at least annually, of the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. This evaluation includes discussion among the Board and committees of the Board.

Communication with the Board

We believe that communications between our Board, our stockholders and other interested parties are an important part of our corporate governance process. Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company’s Investor Relations department at (212) 257-5199. However, if stockholders believe that their questions have not been addressed, they may communicate with the Company’s Board by sending their communications to Investcorp Credit Management BDC, Inc., 65 East 55th Street, 15th Floor New York, NY 10022, Attn.: Board of Directors or to icmbcompliance@investcorp.com. All stockholder communications received in this manner will be delivered to one or more members of the Board.

All communications involving accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, possible violations of, or non-compliance with, applicable legal and regulatory requirements or policies, or retaliatory acts against anyone who makes such a complaint or assists in the investigation of such a complaint, will be referred to our Audit Committee.

The acceptance and forwarding of a communication to any director does not imply that the director owes or assumes any fiduciary duty to the person submitting the communication, all such duties being only as prescribed by applicable law.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our code of ethics, which is signed by directors and executive officers of the Company, requires that directors and executive officers avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and the interests of the Company. Pursuant to the code of ethics, which is available on our website under the “Investor Relations” link at www.icmbdc.com, each director and executive officer must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to the Audit Committee. Certain actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict of interest are reviewed and approved by the Board.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors and none of the members is a present or past employee of the Company. No member of the Compensation Committee: (i) has had any relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (ii)  is an executive officer of another entity, at which one of our executive officers serves on the Board.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and certain persons related to the Company. As a BDC, the 1940 Act restricts the Company from participating in certain transactions with certain persons affiliated with the Company, including our officers, directors, and employees and any person controlling or under common control with us.

In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with the Company, our officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations, close or remote, between the proposed portfolio investment, the Company, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. The Company will not enter into any transactions unless and until we are satisfied that the transaction is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or, if such prohibitions exist, the Company has taken appropriate actions to seek Board review and approval or exemptive relief from the SEC for such transaction.

16

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Company is party to the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, in which certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers have ownership and financial interests. Messrs. Mauer and Jansen, together, hold an approximate 24% interest in our Adviser. Investcorp holds an approximate 76% ownership interest in the Adviser. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee. Mr. Mauer, an interested member of the Board, has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the Adviser. The incentive fee will be computed and paid on income that we may not have yet received in cash at the time of payment. This fee structure may create an incentive for the Adviser to invest in certain types of speculative securities. Additionally, we will rely on investment professionals from the Adviser to assist the Board with the valuation of our portfolio investments. The Adviser’s management fee and incentive fee is based on the value of our investments and, therefore, there may be a conflict of interest when personnel of the Adviser are involved in the valuation process for our portfolio investments.

Administration Agreement

The Company entered into an Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment and provides it with the clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations. Under this Administration Agreement, the Adviser performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. The Company reimburses the Adviser for the allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions, and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and his respective staff. In addition, the Adviser may satisfy certain of its obligations to the Company under the Administration Agreement through the services agreement with Investcorp International Inc., an affiliate of Investcorp, including supplying the Company with accounting and back-office professionals upon the request of the Adviser.

Stock Purchase Agreement

The Company is party to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Investcorp BDC, pursuant to which, following the Closing and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Investcorp BDC will purchase (i) 680,985 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the most recently determined net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of such purchase, as adjusted as necessary to comply with Section 23 of the 1940 Act, and (ii) 680,985 shares of the Company’s common stock in open-market or secondary transactions.

Co-investment Exemptive Relief

On March 19, 2019, the SEC issued an order granting the Company’s application for exemptive relief to co-invest, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in certain private placement transactions with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates and any future funds that are advised by the Adviser or its affiliated investment advisers. Under the terms of the exemptive order, in order for the Company to participate in a co-investment transaction a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company’s independent directors must conclude that (i) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (ii) the proposed transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objectives and strategies.

17

License Agreement

The Company has entered into a license agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Investcorp”.

Other Conflicts of Interest

The Company may also have conflicts of interest arising out of the investment advisory activities of the Adviser. The Adviser may in the future manage other investment funds, accounts or investment vehicles that invest or may invest in assets eligible for purchase by the Company. To the extent that the Company competes with entities managed by the Adviser or any of its affiliates for a particular investment opportunity, the Adviser will allocate investment opportunities across the entities for which such opportunities are appropriate, consistent with (a) its internal investment allocation policies, (b) the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and (c) certain restrictions under the 1940 Act regarding co-investments with affiliates.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the disclosure requirements of Item 405 of SEC Regulation S-K require that our directors and executive officers, and any persons holding more than 10% of any class of our equity securities report their ownership of such equity securities and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the SEC and to us. Based solely on a review of the written statements and copies of such reports furnished to us by our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the executive officers, directors and stockholders were timely satisfied.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Currently, none of our executive officers are compensated by us. We currently have no employees, and each of our executive officers is also an employee of CM Investment Partners LLC. Each of Messrs. Mauer and Jansen has a direct ownership and financial interest in, and may receive compensation and/or profit distributions from, the Adviser. None of Mr. Mauer, Mr. Jansen or Mr. Muns receives any direct compensation from us. See “Conflicts of Interest and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” Services necessary for our business are provided by individuals who are employees of CM Investment Partners LLC, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. Rocco DelGuercio, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, is paid by the Adviser, as our administrator, subject to reimbursement by us of an allocable portion of such compensation for services rendered by Mr. DelGuercio to us. To the extent that the Adviser outsources any of its functions, we will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Adviser.

PROPOSAL 2: AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO SELL OR OTHERWISE ISSUE UP TO 25% OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT AN OFFERING PRICE PER SHARE THAT IS BELOW THE COMPANY’S THEN CURRENT NAV

The Company is a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act prohibits the Company from selling shares of its common stock at a price below the current NAV of such stock, with certain exceptions. One such exception would permit the Company to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock during the next year at a price below the Company’s then current NAV if its stockholders approve such a sale and the Company’s directors make certain determinations.

Pursuant to this provision, the Company is seeking the approval of its common stockholders so that it may, in one or more public or private offerings of its common stock, sell or issue shares of its common stock in an amount up to 25% of the outstanding common stock as of the date when this proposal is approved by the stockholders at an offering price per share that is below its then current NAV, subject to certain conditions discussed below. Under this proposal, there is no limit on the discount at which the Company may sell its shares. If approved, the authorization would be effective for a period expiring on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the date of the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is expected to be held in November 2020. The latest date at which such authorization would expire is November 6, 2020.

Effect of Approval

Generally, equity securities sold in public securities offerings are priced based on market prices, quoted on exchanges such as NASDAQ, rather than NAV per share. The Company is seeking the approval of a majority of its common stockholders of record to offer and sell shares of its common stock at prices that, net of underwriting discount or commissions, may be less than NAV so as to permit management the flexibility in pricing new share issuances it may require from time to time during the authorized period as a result of market conditions.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from NAV per share or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV per share will decrease. Although shares of the Company’s common stock have had a limited trading history, they have traded at both a premium to NAV per share and at a discount to the net assets attributable to those shares. Given the volatility in the stock market, we cannot predict whether our common stock will trade at a premium to NAV or trade at a discount to NAV in the future.

The following table, representing the public trading history of our common stock for the last three most recently completed fiscal years and the most recent fiscal quarter, lists the high and low closing sales prices for our common stock and the sales price as a percentage of NAV per share. On the Record Date, the last reported closing sale price of our common stock was $6.75 per share which represents a discount of approximately (35.78)% to the NAV reported as of June 30, 2019.

(1) NAV is determined as of the last date in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the NAV per share on the date of the high and low sales prices. The NAVs shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of each period.

(2) Closing sales price is determined as the high or low closing sales price noted within the respective quarter, not adjusted for dividends.

(3) Calculated as of the respective high or low sales price divided by the quarter end NAV.

* NAV has not yet been calculated for this period.

Reasons for Approval

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 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 using those earnings to support new investments. Further, BDCs must comply with an asset coverage ratio that prohibits the Company from incurring debt or issuing senior securities if their asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is below 200% (or 150% if certain conditions are satisfied).

On May 2, 2018, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, the Company’s asset coverage requirements for senior securities changed from 200% to 150%, effective as of May 2, 2019. To continue to build the Company’s investment portfolio, and thereby support maintenance and growth of the Company’s dividends, the Company strives to maintain consistent access to capital through the public and private equity markets enabling it to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise.

20

Even though the underlying performance of a particular portfolio company may not indicate an impairment or its inability to repay all principal and interest in full, volatility in the capital markets may negatively impact the valuations of investments and result in unrealized write-downs of those investments. These unrealized write-downs, as well as unrealized write-downs based on the underlying performance of the Company’s portfolio companies, if any, negatively impact stockholders’ equity and the resulting asset to debt ratio.

Exceeding the 150% asset coverage ratio could have severe negative consequences for a BDC, including the inability to pay dividends, breaching debt covenants and failure to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC. Although the Company does not currently expect that it will exceed this equity ratio, the markets it operates in and the general economy may be volatile and uncertain. Volatility in the capital markets could result in negative pressure on investment valuations, potentially negatively impacting the Company’s stockholders’ equity and the Company’s asset to debt ratio.

As a result of dislocations and more frequent volatility in the credit markets over the past several years, the Company has seen a reduction in competition, a widening of interest spreads and generally more conservative capital structures and deal terms. The Company believes that these conditions have in the past created, and may in the future create, favorable opportunities to invest at attractive risk-adjusted returns. While the current market has improved from various periods of market dislocation and volatility, there can be no assurance that they will not worsen again in the future. If these adverse market conditions return, the Company and other companies in the financial services sector may not have access to sufficient debt and equity capital in order to take advantage of favorable investment opportunities. In addition, the debt capital that will be available, if any, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions in the future.

Without the approval of a majority of its common stockholders to sell its common stock at prices below its current NAV, the Company would be precluded from selling shares of its common stock to raise capital during periods where the market price for its common stock is below its current NAV. It may also be precluded from selling shares when the market price for its common stock is not sufficiently above its current NAV so that the price at which shares would be sold, net of underwriting discounts or commissions, would not be less than its current NAV.

The Company believes that having the flexibility to issue its common stock below NAV in certain instances will benefit all of its stockholders. The Company expects that it will be periodically presented with attractive opportunities that require the Company to make an investment commitment quickly. As discussed above, the Company may not have sufficient access to capitalize on investment opportunities presented to it unless it is able to quickly raise additional capital. In the future, the market value of the Company’s common stock may trade below NAV resulting in a net price per share below NAV, which has not been uncommon for BDCs like the Company. Alternatively, the Company’s NAV could increase without a commensurate increase in the Company’s stock price.

If any of these events were to occur, absent the approval of this proposal by stockholders, the Company may not be able to effectively access the capital markets to enable it to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities. The ability to issue shares below NAV also minimizes the likelihood that the Company would consider selling assets it would not otherwise sell at times that may be disadvantageous to the Company.

Further, to the extent the Company issues shares of its common stock below NAV in a publicly registered transaction, the Company’s market capitalization and the number of shares of its publicly tradable common stock will increase, thus potentially affording all common stockholders greater liquidity.

21

Conditions to Sales Below NAV

If this proposal is approved, the Company will only sell shares of its common stock at a net price below NAV during the specified one year period if the following conditions are met:

• filing a new post-effective amendment to an effective registration statement if the cumulative dilution to NAV per share from offerings under the registration statement exceeds 15%;

• both a majority of the Company’s independent directors who have no financial interest (other than ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock) in the sale and a majority of such directors who are not interested persons of the Company have determined that such sale would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;

• majority of the Company’s independent 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 securities or immediately prior to the issuance of such securities, that the price at which such securities are to be sold is not less than a price which closely approximates the market value of those securities, less any underwriting commission or discount; and

• following such issuance and taking into account any other issuances, not more than 25% of the Company’s then outstanding shares as of the date of stockholder approval will have been issued at a price less than the Company’s then current NAV.

Under this proposal, our Board may, consistent with its fiduciary duties, approve the sale of stock at any discount to its current NAV.

For purposes of determining whether the cumulative dilution to NAV per share from multiple offerings under a registration statement would exceed 15%, an offering pursuant to the registration statement would be measured separately by calculating the percentage dilution or accretion to aggregate NAV from that offering and then summing the percentage from each offering. For example, if the most recently determined NAV per share at the time of the first offering is $10.00 and the Company had 10 million shares of common stock outstanding, the sale of 2 million shares of common stock with net proceeds of $5.00 per share (a 50% discount) would produce dilution of 8.33%. If the Company subsequently determined that its NAV per share increased to $10.50 on the then 12 million shares of common stock outstanding and then made an additional offering, the Company could, for example, sell approximately an additional 2.4 million shares of common stock at net proceeds of $6.30 per share, which would produce dilution of 6.67%, before the Company would reach the aggregate 15% limit.

Key Stockholder Considerations

Before voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, common stockholders should consider the dilutive effect on the NAV per outstanding share of common stock of the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price that is below the NAV per share. Any sale of common stock at a price below NAV would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders. This dilution would include reduction in the NAV as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below the NAV and a proportionately greater decrease in a stockholder’s interest in the earnings and assets of the Company and voting interest in the Company than the increase in the assets of the Company resulting from such issuance. The Board of the Company will consider the potential dilutive effect of the issuance of shares at a price below the NAV when considering whether to authorize any such issuance.

When stock is sold at a sale price below NAV per share, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. Stockholders should also consider that a potential conflict of interest exists as the proceeds from the issuance of shares below NAV may increase the management fees that the Company pays to the Adviser as such fees are partially based on the

22

amount of the Company’s gross assets. Stockholders should also consider that they will have no subscription, preferential or preemptive rights to additional shares of the common stock proposed to be authorized for issuance, and thus any future issuance of common stock at a price below NAV will dilute a stockholder’s 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 stockholder’s percentage interest.

Impact on Existing Stockholders Who Do Not Participate in the Offering

Our 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 we obtain in the offering (after expenses and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. All stockholders will experience an immediate decrease (often called dilution) in the NAV of the shares they hold. Stockholders who do not participate in the offering will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than stockholders who do participate in the offering. All stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects, to some degree, announced or potential decreases in NAV per share. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discount to NAV increases. Further, if the stockholder does not purchase any shares to maintain the stockholder’s percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is at a price above or below the then current NAV, the stockholder’s voting power, as well as other interests, will be diluted.

Examples of Dilutive Effect

The following table illustrates the reduction to NAV and dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in different hypothetical offerings of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV, although it is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. Sales prices and discounts are hypothetical in the presentation below and the actual sales price in an offering may change the presentation.

The examples assume that Company XYZ has 13,500,000 common shares outstanding, $300,000,000 in total assets and $100,000,000 in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $200,000,000 and $14.81. The table illustrates the dilutive effect on nonparticipating Stockholder A of (1) an offering of 675,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $14.07 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 5% discount from net asset value), (2) an offering of 1,350,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $13.33 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV), (3) an offering of 3,375,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $12.59 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 15% discount from NAV) and, (4) an offering of 3,375,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $11.11 per share after

23

offering expenses and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV). Under this proposal, there is no limit on the discount at which the Company may sell it shares.

Required Vote

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting; and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting which are not held by affiliated persons of the Company.

For purposes of this proposal, the 1940 Act defines “a majority of the outstanding shares” as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO SELL OR OTHERWISE ISSUE UP TO 25% OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT AN OFFERING PRICE PER SHARE THAT IS BELOW THE COMPANY’S THEN CURRENT NAV.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The Board, including the Audit Committee and independent directors thereof, have selected RSM US LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

RSM US LLP has advised the Company that neither the firm nor any present member or associate of it has any material financial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company or its affiliates. It is expected that a representative of RSM US LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses and will be available to answer questions.

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by RSM US LLP for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Aggregate audit and tax fees in the table below consist of fees billed and/or accrued:

	Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019		Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018
Audit Fees	$	345,228	$	186,353
Audit-Related Fees		—		—
Tax Fees		32,020		—
All Other Fees		—		244,593
TOTAL FEES:	$	377,248	$	244,593

Services rendered by RSM US LLP in connection with fees presented above were as follows:

Audit Fees. Audit fees include fees for services that normally would be provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and that generally only the independent accountant can provide. In addition to fees for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, this category contains fees for comfort letters, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit related fees are assurance related services that traditionally are performed by the independent accountant, such as attest services that are not required by statute or regulation.

Tax Fees. Tax fees include professional fees for tax compliance and tax advice.

All Other Fees. Fees for other services would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by RSM US LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The policy requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the auditor’s independence. In accordance with the pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee includes every year a discussion and pre-approval of such services and the expected costs of such services for the year.

25

Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have not received general pre-approval at the first Audit Committee meeting of the year must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-approval, irrespective of the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Audit Committee is also directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Review with Management

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited financial statements and met and held discussions with management regarding the audited financial statements. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Review and Discussion with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has discussed with RSM US LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during the year ended June 30, 2019, matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. SAS No. 61, as amended, requires our independent registered public accounting firm to discuss with our Audit Committee, among other things, the following:

• methods used to account for significant unusual transactions;

• the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus;

• the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors’ conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and

• disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management’s accounting estimates and the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rule regarding the independent accountant’s communications with audit committees concerning independence and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee has also considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

Conclusion

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee’s review of the audited financial statements, the representations of management and

26

the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also recommended the selection of RSM US LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 and the Board approved such recommendation.
