CHICAGO, Ill., June 19, 2013 – Monroe Capital Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MRCC) is pleased to report that the two leading independent proxy advisory firms — Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) — each recently issued a report recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” a proposal included in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2013 Meeting of Stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) that would allow the Company to issue and sell shares of its common stock below its then-current net asset value per share, subject to certain limitations described in the proxy statement.

The Stockholder Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26, 2013, at 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at 311 S. Wacker Drive, 10th Floor Conference Center, Chicago, Illinois.

  1. Internet: Go to the website listed on the proxy card or voting instruction form. Have your control number listed on the form ready and follow the instructions.
