The Board, upon recommendation from its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has appointed Edward Grebow, a member of the Board since 2016, to serve as Chairman of the Board, and has appointed Suhail A.

In connection with Mr. Rajguru’s resignation, the Board issued the following statement: “Vijay Rajguru helped to lead the Alcentra Capital team over the past 18 months, during which the Company made significant progress rotating its legacy portfolio and stabilizing its NAV and entered into a definitive merger agreement with Crescent Capital BDC, Inc. We are grateful for his service on the Board and as Chairman and wish him well in his future endeavors. We are pleased that Suhail Shaikh has agreed to take his place as a member of the Board.”

Mr. Shaikh, 51, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and previously served as Co-President of the Company from June 2018 to March 2019.
