Dear Stockholder,

 

As we prepare for the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders of Runway Growth Finance Corporation, we urge you to vote as soon as possible in order to ensure the meeting can occur as scheduled on January 23, 2025. It is extremely important that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting regardless of how many shares you own. Please join your fellow stockholders and vote today.

 

The Board of Directors recommend that you vote in favor of the proposal, which we believe will provide financial and strategic benefits to our stockholders.

 

·

Consistency in leadership: Following the Adviser Change in Control, the Company’s current manage- ment team will remain in their roles with the access and ability to add key resources to execute and expand its venture/growth lending strategy;

·

Augmented access to capital: The Company may have enhanced access to capital as a part of the BCPA credit platform, which would provide capacity to invest across the liquidity spectrum, deploy additional leverage, and participate in larger, later-stage transactions with attractive risk return pro- files;

·

Enhanced product solutions: With the ability to coinvest with BCPA platform funds, the Company believes it will be able to offer a wider range of comprehensive debt and other capital solutions;

·

Expanded origination channels: Access to BCPA’s broad investment platform positions the Company to potentially expand origination channels, strengthen sourcing capabilities, and access a broader range of investment opportunities designed to enhance the Company’s stockholder value.

 

Voting today will help us reduce potential costs and avoid the need for our proxy solicitor, Broadridge, to initiate further calls or mailings.

 

Thank you for your participation.
