(the “Company”), its investment adviser and personnel of the investment adviser or of their respective affiliates, to encourage participation in connection with the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.

Hello [Client],

I am calling to remind you about the Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. Annual Stockholder meeting scheduled for Aug. 18, 2016. Stockholders are being asked to vote on two proposals at this meeting with the first proposal being the election of Directors. More information about these proposals may be found in the proxy statement previously mailed to you or on the Company’s website under “Investor Resources”.

Your vote is important and we encourage you to participate in the governance of your investment. If you have not yet voted, I’d be happy to outline the methods in which you may cast your vote now. Voting should only take a few minutes. [Outline methods for voting, i.e. live representative (domestic), touchtone, online or mail.]

We appreciate your participation and we thank you for your time.
