AMENDMENT NO. 3
TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED DEALER MANAGER AGREEMENT
This amendment (this “Amendment No. 3”) to the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (the “A&R Dealer Manager Agreement”) dated as of February 25, 2021 is by and between Prospect Capital Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the “Company”), and Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), and shall be effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”).
The Company and the Dealer Manager wish to amend the A&R Dealer Manager Agreement as follows.
1.The first paragraph located on first page of the A&R Dealer Manager Agreement, directly under the salutation “Ladies and Gentlemen:”, is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
Prospect Capital Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the “Company”), proposes to offer up to 72,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a $1,800,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock will be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series Al Preferred Stock (“Series Al Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series A3 Preferred Stock (“Series A3 Preferred Stock”), and the 6.50% Series M3 Preferred Stock (“Series M3 Preferred Stock”), and the Company may offer any future series of Preferred Stock, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued across all series of Preferred Stock offered pursuant to this Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall not exceed 72,000,000 shares (the “Offering”). Each share of Preferred Stock will be sold at a public offering price of $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The minimum investment amount is $5,000, but purchases of less than $5,000 may be permitted by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.
2.Section 3(i) of the A&R Dealer Manager Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in in its entirety with the following:
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this Section 3, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed between the Company and the Dealer Manager that the Company is permitted to sell up to $[220,000,000] in aggregate liquidation preference of Preferred Stock in the Offering directly to investors in negotiated transactions in which neither the Dealer Manager nor any other entity is acting as an underwriter, dealer or agent. Accordingly, the Dealer Manager shall not receive any dealer manager fee or selling commission in connection with the Company’s direct sale of shares of Preferred Stock to an investor. The Dealer Manager shall not have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement with respect to any such direct sales of shares of Preferred Stock by the Company to investors and, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 7 of this Agreement shall apply to the Company’s direct sale of shares of Preferred Stock.
The gross proceeds the Company receives from any such direct sales will not be included in the gross proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock for purposes of calculating FINRA’s 10% cap.
3.Section 9(i) of the A&R Dealer Manager Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in in its entirety with the following:
9. Termination of this Agreement.
i. Term; Expiration.
1.This Agreement shall automatically terminate at the first occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the settlement of the sale of all 72,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock that are the subject of the Offering or the termination date of the Offering or (B) the date the Dealer Manager’s license or registration to act as a broker-dealer is revoked or suspended by any federal, self-regulatory or state agency and such revocation or suspension is not cured within ten (10) days from the date of such occurrence (and this Agreement shall be deemed to be suspended during such revocation or suspension period).
2.This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60 calendar days’ written notice to the other party.
4.The first paragraph located on the first page, directly under the salutation “Ladies and Gentlemen:”, of Exhibit A – Form of Financial Intermediary Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
