Item 5.07. Submission of Matters

to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 31, 2026, SWK Holdings Corporation (the “Company”

or “SWK”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on the proposals

set forth below, each of which is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities

and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”).

As of the close of business on March 2, 2026, the

record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 12,095,906 issued and outstanding shares of SWK common

stock, par value $0.001 per share (“SWK Common Stock”), entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the

holders of a total of 11,256,673 shares of SWK Common Stock, representing 93.06% of the shares of SWK Common Stock entitled to vote at

the Special Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. The final results for the votes regarding each proposal

are set forth below.

Proposal 1 - The Merger Agreement Proposal

Proposal 1 (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”)

was to consider and vote to adopt Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 9, 2025 (as may be amended from time to time, the

“Merger Agreement”), by and among Runway Growth Finance Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Parent” or “RWAY”);

SWK; RWAY Portfolio Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of RWAY (“Intermediary Sub”);

RWAY Portfolio Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermediary Sub (“Acquisition Sub”);

and Runway Growth Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the external investment adviser to RWAY and approve the merger

of SWK with and into Acquisition Sub, with Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermediary

Sub (the “First Merger” and together with the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, the “Mergers”).

The results with respect to the Merger Agreement Proposal are set forth below and the proposal was approved:

Proposal 4 - The Adjournment Proposal

Proposal 4 (the

“Adjournment Proposal”) was to consider and vote to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting if necessary to

solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (as described

in the Proxy Statement). The Adjournment Proposal was not voted on at the Special Meeting

because there were sufficient votes to then approve the Merger Agreement Proposal.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute forward-looking

statements because they relate to future events, future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements may include

statements as to future operating results of Parent and the Company, and distribution projections; business prospects of Parent and the

Company, and the prospects of their portfolio companies; and the impact of the investments that Parent and the Company expect to make.

In addition, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” “plan,”

“should,” “estimate,” “project” and “intend” indicate forward-looking statements, although

not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this document involve risks and uncertainties.

Certain factors could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected, including the uncertainties associated

with (i) the ability of the parties to consummate the mergers on the expected timeline, or at all; (ii) the expected synergies and savings

associated with the mergers; (iii) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the mergers, including the expected elimination

of certain expenses and costs due to the mergers; (iv) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of

the mergers may not be satisfied or waived; (v) risks related to diverting management’s attention from ongoing business operations;

(vi) the combined company’s plans, expectations, objectives and intentions, as a result of the mergers; (vii) any potential termination

of the merger agreement; (viii) the future operating results and net investment income projections of Parent, the Company or, following

the closing of the mergers, the combined company; (ix) the ability of the Adviser and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented

professionals; (x) the business prospects of Parent, the Company or, following the closing of the mergers, the combined company, and the

prospects of their portfolio companies; (xi) the impact of the investments that Parent, the Company or, following the closing of the mergers,

the combined company expect to make; (xii) the ability of the portfolio companies of Parent, the Company or, following the closing of

the mergers, the combined company to achieve their objectives; (xiii) the expected financings and investments and additional leverage

that Parent, the Company or, following the closing of the mergers, the combined company may seek to incur in the future; (xiv) the adequacy

of the cash resources and working capital of Parent, the Company or, following the closing of the mergers, the combined company; (xv)

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of the portfolio companies of Parent, the Company or, following the closing of the

mergers, the combined company; (xvi) the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the mergers may result in significant costs

of defense and liability; and (xvii) future changes in laws or regulations (including the interpretation of these laws and regulations

by regulatory authorities). You should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of

this communication. Parent and the Company have based the forward-looking statements included in this document on information available

to them on the date hereof, and they assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although Parent and the Company

undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,

you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that they may make directly to you or through reports that Parent and the Company

in the future may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Company’s annual

reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. You should read this communication and the documents

referenced in this communication completely and with the understanding that actual future events and results may be materially different

from expectations. Parent and the Company qualify all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
