IMPORTANT REMINDER

May 5, 2016

Dear Valued Stockholder:

We need your help. Due to lack of stockholder participation, the annual meeting of stockholders of Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc., originally scheduled for May 3, 2016, has been adjourned to June 7, 2016 and will be held at 30 Hudson Street, 21st Floor—Room A, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 at 3:30 pm. As of the date of this letter, our records indicate that we may not have received your important proxy vote.

Although the response of our stockholders who have voted has been positive, if you have not yet voted, we need your vote in order to pass these important proposals. It is critical that your proxy vote is received before June 7, 2016. Your prompt response will help reduce proxy costs – which are paid by the Company and its stockholders, and will also mean that you can avoid receiving follow-up phone calls and further mailings.

Please take a minute to let your voice be heard.

It should only take a few minutes of your time!

If you need another copy of the proxy statement or have any proxy-related questions, please contact your broker for assistance. I thank you in advance for your help with this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

Brendan McGovern

Chief Executive Officer and President
