Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain

Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 1, 2026, the Company's board of directors appointed Jason W. Reese to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective immediately following the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026. Upon Mr. Reese's assumption of this role, Matt Kaplan, who was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective March 4, 2022, concluded his service as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. This decision was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or procedures. Mr. Kaplan will remain with the Company’s external investment adviser, Great Elm Capital Management, LLC (“GECM”), as a portfolio manager.

Mr. Reese will not receive compensation from the Company for his service as Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Reese, 60, is the Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC (“ICAM”) and the Co-Founder of Imperial Capital, LLC (“Imperial Capital”), both founded in 1997. ICAM has managed various hedge funds, investment partnerships, a private REIT and a private equity fund. Imperial Capital is a registered broker-dealer. During his time at Imperial Capital, Mr. Reese formed Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC in 2014, focusing on the Industrial Outdoor Storage sector and continues to serve on the Board of Directors. Mr. Reese is also a founding member of City Ventures, LLC, a California-based private home builder, and has served on the Board of Directors since its inception in 2009. Prior to Imperial Capital, Mr. Reese was a principal with Gordon Investment Corporation (“Gordon”), a merchant banking firm in New York and Dallas, where he focused on investing in distressed real estate transactions, high yield securities and leveraged buyouts. Prior to his time with Gordon, Mr. Reese worked in the Corporate Finance Group at PaineWebber in New York. Mr. Reese graduated with honors from Yale University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering.

Mr. Reese also serves a member of the investment committee of GECM, and as CEO and Chairman of the board of directors Great Elm Group, Inc. (“GEG”), the parent company of GECM. GEG owns approximately 9.7% of our common stock as of the date hereof.

We have entered into various agreements with GEG and GECM, including a license agreement with GEG and our Investment Management Agreement and our Administration Agreement with GECM, each as disclosed in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

GECM has also entered into the Shared Services Agreement, pursuant to which ICAM makes available to GECM certain back-office employees of ICAM to provide services to GECM in exchange for reimbursement by GECM of the allocated portion of such employees’ time.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, May 4, 2026 – Great Elm Capital Corp. (“we,” “our,” the “Company” or “GECC”) (NASDAQ: GECC), a business development company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Management Commentary

Jason Reese, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “I am honored to step into the role of CEO of GECC. In my first few months as Executive Chairman, I have focused on executing a clear mandate: Strengthening oversight, protecting shareholder value, and reinforcing accountability across the platform. The progress we have made this quarter reflects that commitment. We have brought greater rigor, transparency, and accountability to the platform, and I am encouraged by the direction of the portfolio and the quality of the team executing on our strategy. I would like to thank Matt Kaplan for his leadership during his tenure as CEO. Matt will continue in his role as Portfolio Manager.

The Manager's decision to waive all accrued and unpaid incentive fees through the second quarter of 2026 demonstrates alignment with GECC shareholders. We remain focused on increasing net asset value, improving earnings quality, and positioning GECC for sustainable performance. With a strong foundation in place and continued discipline across credit underwriting and portfolio oversight, I am confident we are well-positioned to navigate the current market environment and deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns to our investors. Our first quarter results exhibit meaningful progress in building a portfolio positioned for durable, long-term performance. At quarter end, GECC had less than 1% of investments on nonaccrual, a stark contrast to our peers.

While capital deployment remained measured during the quarter given the historically tight spread environment, we expanded our private credit pipeline and further diversified the portfolio. We ended the period with ample liquidity, including meaningful cash on hand, full availability under our revolving credit facility, and a healthy base of liquid assets.”

Recent Board Actions and Shareholder Returns

▪

GECC’s Board of Directors appointed Jason Reese as Chief Executive Officer on May 4, 2026, succeeding Matt Kaplan, following Mr. Reese’s appointment as Executive Chairman on March 2, 2026, to provide seasoned credit investment experience and active management oversight. Mr. Reese currently serves as Chairman and CEO of Great Elm Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEG), the parent of the Company’s investment adviser, Great Elm Capital Management, LLC (“GECM” or “Investment Adviser”).

▪

GECM waived all accrued incentive fees through June 30, 2026, in addition to previously waiving all $2.8 million, or $0.20 per share, of accrued incentive fees through March 31, 2026.

▪

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2026, equating to an 18% annualized yield on GECC’s May 1, 2026, closing price of $5.56.

▪

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program in October 2025, whereby the Company may opportunistically repurchase up to an aggregate of $10 million of its outstanding common shares. Through May 1, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares for $0.5 million, at an average price of $4.98 per share or a 36% discount to the Company’s NAV on March 31, 2026, leaving approximately $9.5 million of remaining capacity under the program for future repurchases.

First Quarter and Recent Operating Highlights

▪

Total investment income (“TII”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $9.5 million, as compared to $12.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

▪

GECC received $2.5 million of cash distributions from the CLO Formation JV, LLC (“CLO JV”) in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, driven by the uneven cadence of CLO cash flows.

▪

Net investment income (“NII”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $5.0 million, or $0.36 per share, as compared to $4.4 million, or $0.31 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

▪

NII increased, despite lower TII, primarily due to the benefit of the incentive fee waiver.

▪

Net assets were $107.5 million, or $7.74 per share, as of March 31, 2026, as compared to $112.9 million, or $8.07 per share, as of December 31, 2025.

▪

Unrealized losses, primarily resulting from mark-to-market volatility, drove the change in net assets, partially offset by realized gains and the positive impact of the incentive fee waiver.

▪

GECC recently called or repurchased all $57.5 million of GECCO notes, including calling the $18.6 million outstanding balance of the notes for redemption on May 27, 2026.

▪

GECC’s asset coverage ratio was 161.8% as of March 31, 2026, as compared to 158.1% as of December 31, 2025.

▪

Subsequent to quarter end, GECC received an additional $1.2 million distribution from its CoreWeave-related investment, bringing total distributions to date to approximately $8.1 million, well in excess of its $6.0 million original capital investment.
