Board Declares $0.25 Per Share Distribution for 3Q26, Resulting in an Annualized Dividend Yield of 18.9% on GECC’s Closing Price as of August 4, 2026

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, August 5, 2026 – Great Elm Capital Corp. (“we,” “our,” the “Company” or “GECC”) (NASDAQ: GECC), a business development company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Management Commentary

Jason Reese, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: “Our second quarter results reflect continued progress toward the priorities we established earlier this year. We increased NAV, generated net investment income that fully covered our quarterly distribution, reported approximately $1.9 million of net realized and unrealized gains, and further strengthened our balance sheet.

We remain disciplined in how we deploy capital. During the quarter, we completed several attractive private credit investments, selectively expanded our broadly syndicated investment portfolio, and continued to actively manage portfolio risk. At quarter end, less than 1% of investments were on nonaccrual, reflecting the quality of the portfolio and our disciplined underwriting approach.

We also continued to strengthen our capital structure by retiring all outstanding GECCO notes during the quarter, extending the maturity of our revolving credit facility, and, subsequent to quarter end, calling $6.5 million of GECCI notes, our highest cost debt. Combined with meaningful cash on hand, $39 million of available capacity under our revolving credit facility, and ample liquid investments, we believe GECC is well positioned to pursue attractive investment opportunities while maintaining financial flexibility.

Although the market remains competitive, we believe our disciplined investment process, strong liquidity, and conservative balance sheet position us to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Recent Board Actions and Shareholder Returns

GECM waived all accrued incentive fees for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, totaling $0.9 million, or $0.06 per share, 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 third quarter of 2026, equating to an 18.9% annualized yield on GECC’s August 4, 2026, closing price of $5.29.

Beginning January 1, 2026 through August 4, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares for $0.5 million, at an average price of $4.98 per share or a 37% discount to the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) on June 30, 2026, leaving approximately $9.5 million of remaining capacity under the $10 million stock repurchase program previously authorized by the Company's Board of Directors.

Second Quarter and Recent Operating Highlights

Total investment income (“TII”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $10.9 million, as compared to $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by a $2.0 million dividend received from the Company's investment in insurance-related preference shares.

Net investment income (“NII”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $4.5 million, or $0.32 per share, as compared to $5.0 million, or $0.36 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

NII decreased, despite higher TII, primarily due to the size of the benefit of the incentive fee waiver received in the prior quarter.

Pre-incentive fee NII increased approximately 66% quarter-over-quarter to $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, from $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Net assets were $110.4 million, or $7.95 per share, as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $107.5 million, or $7.74 per share, as of March 31, 2026.

2.7% quarter-over-quarter growth in net assets was primarily driven by realized and unrealized gains on investments, notably the CoreWeave-related equity investment.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, GECC received $2.6 million of distributions from its CoreWeave-related equity investment, bringing total distributions to date to approximately $9.5 million, well in excess of its $6.0 million original capital investment.

GECC’s asset coverage ratio was 166.4% as of June 30, 2026, as compared to 161.8% as of March 31, 2026.
