Commencing July 5, 2016, the following script is expected to be used by Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (the “Company”), its investment adviser and personnel of the investment adviser or of their respective affiliates, to solicit votes in connection with the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.

I am calling to remind you to vote your shares in Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc., if you haven’t already done so, at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, which is being held on July 20.

You should have received the Company’s proxy statement that describes each matter to be voted on. If you didn’t receive a proxy statement, I would be happy to arrange another copy to be sent to you. It includes important information regarding each matter, including how to vote your shares.

If a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the July 20 meeting are not present in person or by proxy at the meeting, then the meeting cannot be held and the votes cannot take place. Accordingly, it is very important that you vote your shares.

A copy of the proxy statement and some “Frequently Asked Questions” regarding the upcoming meeting can be found at the Company’s website under “Investor Resources”.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
