 the bank or broker cannot vote on a particular matter because it is not “routine,” then there is a “broker non-vote” on that matter. Broker non-votes will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting and will have the same effect as votes against a “non-routine” matter. Vote Required Election of Directors. A nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors of NMFC if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. If you vote “Withhold Authority” with respect to a nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to the person indicated. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will have no effect on this proposal. This proposal is considered a “non-routine matter”; accordingly, brokers cannot vote on this proposal unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of Broker Securities.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting or by proxy is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
