RE: Adjourned Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Dear Shareholder:

We are almost there, but we need your help.

Prospect Capital Corporation recently held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Friday, December 4, 2015. The proposals that were considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in Prospect’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2015 (the “Proxy”).

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders voted to approve the first proposal found in the Proxy.

The Annual Meeting has been adjourned until Friday January 8, 2016 to afford additional time to solicit stockholder votes for the second proposal found in the Proxy.

Our records indicate that Prospect, in which you are invested, has yet to receive sufficient voting participation for Proposal 2. We apologize for the continued follow-up regarding this matter. However, it is critical that we receive your proxy vote by January 8, 2016. Please help us to avoid further delay and cost by taking a moment to cast your vote today.

We value your time and have set up convenient voting options. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” Proposal 2 listed in both the Proxy and on the enclosed copy of your proxy card(s). Thank you in advance to your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,
John F. Barry III
Chief Executive Officer

If you would like another copy of the Proxy or have Proxy-related questions, please call 1-866-387-0770 for assistance. Representatives are available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
