Exhibit 99.1
Gladstone Investment Corporation Portfolio Company SFEG Holdings Inc. Has
Agreed to the Sale of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC
MCLEAN, VA, July 07, 2026: Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: GAIN) (“Gladstone Investment”) portfolio company SFEG Holdings Inc. announced
today that it has agreed to the sale of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC (“SFEG” or the “Company”) to Enerpac Tool Group Corp., marking another successful realization for Gladstone Investment’s buyout
strategy. Gladstone Investment is expected to receive full repayment of its debt investment and realize a significant capital gain on its equity interest.
SFEG designs and sells a suite of branded, specialty equipment for the fabrication and welding industries. Enerpac is a global provider of industrial tools
and services, and the acquisition further expands its portfolio of specialty industrial solutions.
“Gladstone Investment is proud to have supported
SFEG across six separate acquisitions that expanded the Company’s product offering, customer reach, and market position within the fabrication and welding equipment industry,” said Christopher Lee, Executive Vice President of Gladstone
Investment. “CEO Vinay Varma, President Aidan Tagliaferro, and the entire SFEG management team successfully scaled the business through organic growth and acquisitions while broadening SFEG’s portfolio of branded specialty equipment
solutions and we wish them continued success as they further expand under Enerpac.”
“The successful sale of SFEG will represent Gladstone
Investment’s 31st realized exit from a management-supported buyout investment since inception,” said David Dullum, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gladstone Investment. “This outcome reflects our strategy of partnering
with management teams to build scalable lower middle market businesses while generating current income and long-term capital appreciation for shareholders.”
Gladstone Investment is a publicly traded business development company that seeks to make equity and secured debt investments in lower middle market
businesses in the United States in connection with acquisitions, changes in control and recapitalizations. Additional information on the transaction can be found at www.gladstoneinvestment.com.
