|(1) | The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that we maintain in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be

|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments further based on the level of ownership that we maintain in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as
non-affiliated when we own less than 5% of a portfolio companys voting securities and affiliated when we own 5% or more of a portfolio companys voting securities (see Note 6).

P. All securities are subject to a LIBOR or Prime rate floor where a spread is provided, unless noted. The spread provided includes payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest and other fee rates, if any.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The security may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration,

|--- | -------------------------------------

|(8) | Coupon is not subject to a LIBOR or Prime rate floor.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------

|(9) | Represents the purchase of a security with delayed settlement or a revolving line of credit that is currently an unfunded investment. This security does not earn a basis point spread above an index while it is unfunded.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(10) | Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------

|(11) | Investment is held through a consolidated taxable subsidiary (See Note 1 to the financial statements).
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(12) | Par amount is denominated in British Pounds.
|---- | --------------------------------------------

|(13) | The investment is treated as a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying
assets represent at least 70% of our total assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

PennantPark
Investment Corporation was organized as a Maryland corporation in January 2007. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. PennantPark Investments
objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in U.S. middle-market companies in the form of senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity
investments. On April 24, 2007, we closed our initial public offering and our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol PNNT. Our 2025 Notes trade on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the
symbol PNTA.

We have entered into an investment management agreement, or the Investment Management Agreement, with the
Investment Adviser, an external adviser that manages our day-to-day operations. We have also entered into an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, with the Administrator, which provides the administrative services necessary for
us to operate. PennantPark Investment, through the Investment Adviser, manages day-to-day operations of and provides investment advisory services to each of our SBIC Funds under separate investment management agreements. PennantPark Investment,
through the Administrator, also provides similar services to each of our SBIC Funds under a separate administration agreement. See Note 3.

Our wholly owned subsidiaries, SBIC LP and SBIC II, were organized as Delaware limited partnerships in 2010 and 2012, respectively. SBIC LP and
SBIC II received licenses from the SBA to operate as SBICs, under Section 301(c) of the 1958 Act. Our SBIC Funds objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments generally by
investing with us in SBA eligible businesses that meet the investment criteria used by PennantPark Investment.

We have formed and expect to
continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries, or the Taxable Subsidiaries, which are taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. The Taxable Subsidiaries allow us to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through
entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of our assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reported periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements have been included. Actual results could differ from these
estimates due to changes in the economic and regulatory environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates and assumptions. We may reclassify certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period
presentation. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. References to the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards Codification, as amended, or ASC, serve as a single source of accounting literature.
Subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed as appropriate for events occurring through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistent with ASC 946, Financial Services  Investment
Companies, and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K/Q and Article 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate. In accordance with Article 6-09 of Regulation S-X, we have provided a Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets in
lieu of a Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity.

Our significant accounting policies consistently applied are as
follows:

(a)   Investment Valuations

We expect that there may not be readily available market values for many of our investments, which are or will be in our portfolio, and we value
such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors using a documented valuation policy, described in this Report, and a consistently applied valuation process. With respect to investments
for which there is no readily available market value, the factors that the board of directors may take into account in pricing our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio
companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a
purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate or revise our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that
do not have a readily available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and the difference may be material. See Note 5.

Our portfolio generally consists of illiquid securities, including debt and equity investments. With respect to investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| | (1) | Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of our Investment Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the management of our Investment Adviser;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | Our board of directors also engages independent valuation firms to conduct independent appraisals of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not
reflective of the fair value of the investment. The independent valuation firms review managements preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment and also in light of any market quotations obtained from an independent
pricing service, broker, dealer or market maker;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | The audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Investment Adviser and those of the independent valuation firms on a quarterly basis, periodically assess the valuation
methodologies of the independent valuation firms, and responds to and supplements the valuation recommendations of the independent valuation firms to reflect any comments; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (5) | Our board of directors discusses these valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith, based on the input of our Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firms
and the audit committee.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2016

(Unaudited)



Our board of directors generally uses market quotations to assess the value of our investments
for which market quotations are readily available. We obtain these market values from independent pricing services or at the bid prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers, if available, or otherwise by a principal market maker or a
primary market dealer. The Investment Adviser assesses the source and reliability of bids from brokers or dealers. If the board of directors has a bona fide reason to believe any such market quote does not reflect the fair value of an investment, it
may independently value such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available.

(b)   Security Transactions, Revenue Recognition, and Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from
the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering prepayment penalties. Net change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in the fair values of our portfolio investments, our Credit Facility and our Notes during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or
depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such
amounts. For loans and debt investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents interest accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will generally not accrue PIK interest when the portfolio company
valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectable. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt investments if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, original issue discount,
or OID, market discount or premium and deferred financing costs on liabilities, which we do not fair value, are capitalized and then accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income or, in the case of deferred financing
costs, as interest expense. We record prepayment penalties on loans and debt investments as income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis on the ex-dividend date to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and/or there is reasonable doubt that
principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon
managements judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current.

(c)   Income Taxes

We have complied with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code and have qualified to be subject to tax as a RIC. As a result, we account for
income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Based upon our qualification and election to be subject to taxation as a RIC, we typically do not incur any material level of federal income taxes. Although
we are not subject to federal income taxes as a RIC, we may elect to retain a portion of our calendar year income, which may result in an excise tax, or we may incur taxes through our Taxable Subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended
March 31, 2016, we accrued taxes of $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. We accrued no taxes for either the three or six month periods ended March 31, 2015.

We recognize the effect of a tax position in our Consolidated Financial Statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical
merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. We did not have any uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized tax benefits that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25 as of the
periods presented herein.

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may
differ from net investment income and net realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements
to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. We do not consolidate the Taxable Subsidiaries for income tax purposes, but we do consolidate
the results of these Taxable Subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes.

(d)   Distributions and Capital Transactions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid, if any, as a distribution is
ratified by the board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The tax attributes for distributions will generally include
ordinary income and capital gains, but may also include qualified dividends and/or return of capital.

Capital transactions, in connection
with our dividend reinvestment plan or through offerings of our common stock, are recorded when issued and offering costs are charged as a reduction of capital upon issuance of our common stock.

(e)   Foreign Currency Translation

Our books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:



| | 1. | Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities  at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the applicable period; and
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses  at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, we do not isolate that portion
of the results of operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and debt from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments and liabilities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss from investments and liabilities.

Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which
could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. Government securities.

(f)   Consolidation

As permitted under Regulation S-X and as explained by ASC 946-810-45, PennantPark Investment will generally not consolidate its investment in a
company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to us. Accordingly, we have consolidated the results of our SBIC Funds and our Taxable Subsidiaries in our
Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. AGREEMENTS

The Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser was reapproved by our board of directors, including a majority of our directors
who are not interested persons of us or the Investment Adviser, in February 2016. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of
and provides investment advisory services to us. Our SBIC Funds investment management agreements do not affect the management or incentive fees that we pay to the Investment Adviser on a consolidated basis. For providing these services, the
Investment Adviser receives a fee from us, consisting of two componentsa base management fee and an incentive fee, or collectively referred to as Management Fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of our average adjusted gross assets, which equals our gross assets
(net of U.S. Treasury Bills, temporary draws under any credit facility, cash and cash equivalents, repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions undertaken at the end of a fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility
for the next quarter and adjusted to exclude cash, cash equivalents and unfunded commitments, if any) and is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average adjusted gross assets at the end of the two most
recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. For example, if we sold shares on the 45th day of a quarter and did not use the proceeds from the sale to
repay outstanding indebtedness, our gross assets for such quarter would give effect to the net proceeds of the issuance for only 45 days of the quarter during which the additional shares were outstanding. For the three and six months ended
March 31, 2016 and through December 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser has voluntarily agreed, in consultation with the board of directors, to waive 16% of base management fees, correlated to our 16% energy exposure (oil & gas and
energy & utilities industries) at cost as of December 31, 2015. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser earned base management fees of $5.1 million (after a waiver of $1.0 million) and $10.6
million (after a waiver of $2.0 million), respectively, from us. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Investment Adviser earned base management fees of $6.8 million and $13.6 million, respectively, from us.

The incentive fee has two parts, as follows:

One part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding
calendar quarter. For this purpose, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other income, including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as amendment, commitment,
origination, prepayment penalties, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received from portfolio companies, accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, fee
waivers, if any, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense or amendment fees under any credit facility and distribution paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee
Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, computed net of all realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a percentage of the value of our
net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the hurdle rate of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). We pay the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%, (2) 100% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized), and (3) 20% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net
Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are pro-rated for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter, if applicable. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and
through December 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser has voluntarily agreed, in consultation with the board of directors, to waive 16% of incentive fees, correlated to our 16% energy exposure (oil & gas and energy & utilities
industries) at cost as of December 31, 2015. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser earned an incentive fee on net investment income as calculated under the Investment Management Agreement of $4.0 million
(after a waiver of $0.7 million) and $7.2 million (after a waiver of $1.4 million), respectively, from us. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Investment Adviser earned an incentive fee on net investment income as calculated
under the Investment Management Agreement of $5.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, from us.

The second part of the incentive fee is
determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception
through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For each of the three and six
months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Investment Adviser did not earn an incentive fee on capital gains as calculated under the Investment Management Agreement (as described above).

Under GAAP, we are required to accrue a capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital
appreciation and depreciation on investments and foreign currencies held at the end of each period. In calculating the capital gains incentive fee accrual, we considered the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as
a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment
Management Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then we record a
capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains related incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such year. There can be no assurance
that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Investment Adviser did not accrue an incentive fee on capital gains as calculated under GAAP.

The Administration Agreement with the Administrator was reapproved by our board of directors, including a majority of our directors who are not
interested persons of us, in February 2016. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides administrative services and office facilities to us. The Administrator provides similar services to our SBIC Funds under each of their
administration agreements with PennantPark Investment. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, PennantPark Investment has agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the
Administrator in performing its obligations under our Administration Agreement, including rent and PennantPark Investments allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses for its Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and their respective staffs. The Administrator also offers, on PennantPark Investments behalf, managerial assistance to portfolio companies to which PennantPark Investment is required to offer such assistance. Reimbursement for certain
of these costs is included in administrative services expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, the Investment Adviser was reimbursed $1.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively,
from us, including expenses the Investment Adviser incurred on behalf of the Administrator, for the services described above. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Investment Adviser was reimbursed $1.8 million and $2.5
million, respectively, from us, including expenses the Investment Adviser incurred on behalf of the Administrator, for the services described above.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value, as defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, or ASC 820, is the price that we would receive upon selling an investment or pay
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs
reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability based on the best information available to us on the reporting date.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair
values into the following hierarchies:



|         |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|-------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1: |  | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|         | 
|Level 2: |  | Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term, if applicable, of the financial instrument.
|         | 
|Level 3: |  | Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability because they are based on our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.                                                                                                                                                                                           

A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Generally, most of our investments and Credit Facility are classified as Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily
available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and those differences may be material. A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis.

The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data are
available, such information may be the result of consensus pricing information, disorderly transactions or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of
consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence was available. Corroborating evidence that would result in classifying these non-binding
broker/dealer bids as a Level 2 asset includes observable orderly market-based transactions for the same or similar assets or other relevant observable market-based inputs that may be used in pricing an asset.

Our investments are generally structured as debt and equity investments in the form of senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and equity
co-investments. The transaction price, excluding transaction costs, is typically the best estimate of fair value at inception. Ongoing reviews by our Investment Adviser and independent valuation firms are based on an assessment of each underlying
investment, incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information including comparable transactions, performance multiples and yields, among
other factors. These non-public investments valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

A review
of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in our ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in or out of the Level 3 category as of the end of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. During the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our ability to observe valuation inputs
resulted in one reclassification of an asset from Level 2 to 1 and one reclassification of an asset from Level 2 to 3, respectively.

In
addition to using the above inputs in cash equivalents, investments, our Notes and our Credit Facility valuations, we employ the valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with our valuation
policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value. See Note 2.

As outlined in the table below, some of our Level 3 investments using a market approach valuation technique are valued using the average of the
bids from brokers or dealers. The bids typically include a disclaimer, have no corroborating evidence, may be the result of a disorderly transaction and may be the result of consensus pricing. The Investment Adviser assesses the source and
reliability of bids from brokers or dealers. If the board of directors has a bona fide reason to believe any such bids do not reflect the fair value on an investment, it may independently value such investment by using the valuation procedure that
it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available.

The remainder of our portfolio and our long-term
Credit Facility are valued using a market comparable or an enterprise market value technique. With respect to investments for which there is no readily available market value, the factors that the board of directors may take into account in pricing
our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does
business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event, excluding
transaction costs, is used to corroborate the valuation. When using earnings multiples to value a portfolio company, the multiple used requires the use of judgment and estimates in determining how a market participant would price such an asset.
Generally, the sensitivity of unobservable inputs or combination of inputs such as industry comparable companies, market outlook, consistency, discount rates and reliability of earnings and prospects for growth, or lack thereof, affects the multiple
used in pricing an investment. As a result, any change in any one of those factors may have a significant impact on the valuation of an investment.

PENNANTPARK INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2016

(Unaudited)



The carrying value of our consolidated financial liabilities approximates fair value. We
adopted ASC 825-10, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, and made an irrevocable election to apply ASC 825-10 to our Credit Facility and our Notes. We elected to use the fair
value option for the Credit Facility and our Notes to align the measurement attributes of both our assets and liabilities while mitigating volatility in earnings from using different measurement attributes. ASC 825-10 establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect on earnings of a companys choice to
use fair value. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and changes in fair value of the Credit Facility and our Notes
are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We elected not to apply ASC 825-10 to any other financial assets or liabilities, including the SBA debentures. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, our Credit
Facility and our Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation of $10.3 million and $18.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, our Credit Facility and our Notes had a net change in unrealized
depreciation of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility and our Notes totaled $19.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. We use a
nationally recognized independent valuation service to fair value of our Credit Facility and our 2019 Notes in a manner consistent with the valuation process that the board of directors uses to value investments. Our 2025 Notes trade on the NYSE,
under the ticker PNTA and we use the closing price on the exchange to determine their fair value.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES

An affiliated portfolio company is a company in which we have ownership of 5% or more of its voting securities. A portfolio company is

8. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents represent cash in money market funds pending investment in longer-term portfolio holdings. Our portfolio may consist of
temporary investments in U.S. Treasury Bills (of varying maturities), repurchase agreements, money market funds or repurchase agreement-like treasury securities. These temporary investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are deemed cash
equivalents and are included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At the end of each fiscal quarter, we may take proactive steps to preserve investment flexibility for the next quarter by investing in cash equivalents, which is dependent
upon the composition of our total assets at quarter-end. We may accomplish this in several ways, including purchasing U.S. Treasury Bills and closing out our positions on a net cash basis after quarter-end, temporarily drawing down on the Credit
Facility, or utilizing repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions as are deemed appropriate for this purpose. These amounts are excluded from average adjusted gross assets for purposes of computing the Investment Advisers
management fee. U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities greater than 60 days from the time of purchase are valued consistent with our valuation policy. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents consisted of $33.2
million and $49.6 million at fair value, respectively.

10. DEBT

Our annualized weighted average cost of debt for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn
commitment on the Credit Facility and amortized upfront fees on SBA debentures but excluding debt issuance costs, was 4.42% and 4.57%, respectively. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow
amounts such that we are in compliance with our asset coverage ratio after such borrowing, excluding SBA debentures, pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC received in June 2011.

Credit Facility

As of March 31,
2016, we have a $545 million multi-currency Credit Facility with certain lenders and SunTrust Bank, acting as administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acting as syndication agent for the lenders. As of March 31, 2016 and
September 30, 2015, there was $141.3 million and $136.9 million (including a temporary draw of $30.0 million), respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate at the time of 2.80% and
3.07%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments. The Credit Facility is a five-year revolving facility with a stated maturity date of June 25, 2019, a one-year term-out period following its fourth year and pricing set at 225 basis points
over LIBOR. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets excluding assets held by our SBIC Funds.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2016

(Unaudited)



SBA Debentures

Our SBIC Funds are able to borrow funds from the SBA against regulatory capital (which approximates equity capital) that is paid-in and is
subject to customary regulatory requirements including an examination by the SBA. We have funded SBIC LP with $75.0 million of equity capital and it had SBA debentures outstanding of $150.0 million as of March 31, 2016. We have funded SBIC II
with $37.5 million of equity capital, and it had SBA debentures outstanding of $22.5 million and commitments from the SBA for another $52.5 million of debentures. SBA debentures are non-recourse to us and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The interest rate of SBA debentures is fixed at the time of issuance, often referred to as pooling, at a market-driven spread over 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes. Under current SBA regulations, a SBIC may individually borrow to a maximum of $150
million, which is up to twice its potential regulatory capital, and per recent regulatory changes, as part of a group of SBICs under common control may borrow a maximum of $350 million in the aggregate.

As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, our SBIC Funds had $225.0 million in debt commitments, of which $172.5 million and $150.0
million was drawn, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the unamortized fees on the SBA debentures was $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The SBA debentures upfront fees of 3.43% consist of a
commitment fee of 1.00% and an issuance discount of 2.43%, which are being amortized.

Our fixed-rate SBA debentures were as follows:

The SBIC program is designed to stimulate the flow of capital into eligible businesses. Under SBA regulations, our SBIC Funds are subject to
regulatory requirements, including making investments in SBA-eligible businesses, investing at least 25% of regulatory capital in eligible smaller businesses, as defined under the 1958 Act, placing certain limitations on the financing terms of
investments, prohibiting investment in certain industries and requiring capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to us, and are subject to periodic audits and examinations of their financial statements that are prepared on a basis of
accounting other than GAAP (for example, fair value, as defined under ASC 820, is not required to be used for assets or liabilities for such compliance reporting). As of March 31, 2016, our SBIC Funds were in compliance with their regulatory
requirements.

2019 Notes

As of
March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes outstanding. Interest on the 2019 Notes is paid semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, at a rate of 4.50% per year.
The 2019 Notes mature on October 1, 2019. The 2019 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2019 Notes are structurally subordinated to
our SBA debentures and the assets pledged or secured under our Credit Facility.

2025 Notes

As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had $71.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding. Interest on
the 2025 Notes is paid quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, at a rate of 6.25% per year. The 2025 Notes mature on February 1, 2025. The 2025 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and
rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are structurally subordinated to our SBA debentures and the assets pledged or secured under our Credit Facility. Our 2025 Notes trade on
the NYSE under the symbol PNTA.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we, the Investment Adviser or the Administrator may be a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business,
including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a
material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations. Unfunded debt and equity investments, if any, are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had $9.5
million and $19.7 million, respectively, in commitments to fund investments.

12. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On May 6, 2015, we announced a share repurchase plan which allows us to repurchase up to $35 million of our outstanding common stock in the
open market at prices below our net asset value as reported in our then most recently published consolidated financial statements. The shares may be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market transactions, including
block transactions. The program will expire on May 6, 2016. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 0.7 million and 1.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, in open market transactions for an
aggregate cost (including transaction costs) of $3.7 million and $12.2 million, respectively. From May 6, 2015 to March 31, 2016, we purchased 4.0 million shares of common stock in open market transactions for an aggregate cost
(including transaction costs) of $30.1 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

PennantPark Investment
Corporation and its Subsidiaries:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of PennantPark
Investment Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2016, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of changes in net assets and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited,
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Company, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2015, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 10, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Overview

PennantPark Investment Corporation is a BDC whose objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and
equity investments primarily in U.S. middle-market companies in the form of senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and equity investments.

We
believe middle-market companies offer attractive risk-reward to investors due to the limited amount of capital available for such companies. We seek to create a diversified portfolio that includes senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and equity
investments by investing approximately $10 million to $50 million of capital, on average, in the securities of middle-market companies. We expect this investment size to vary proportionately with the size of our capital base. We use the term
middle-market to refer to companies with annual revenues between $50 million and $1 billion. The companies in which we invest are typically highly leveraged, and, in most cases, are not rated by national rating agencies. If such
companies were rated, we believe that they would typically receive a rating below investment grade (between BB and CCC under the Standard & Poors system) from the national rating agencies. Securities rated below investment grade are
often referred to as leveraged loans or high yield securities or junk bonds and are often higher risk compared to debt instruments that are rated above investment grade and have speculative characteristics. Our
debt investments may generally range in maturity from three to ten years and are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities which operate in various industries and geographical regions.

Our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the
level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. We have used, and expect to continue to use our Credit Facility, SBA debentures,
proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.

Organization and Structure of PennantPark Investment Corporation

PennantPark Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation organized in January 2007, is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified
investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.

Our wholly owned subsidiaries, SBIC LP and SBIC II, were organized as Delaware limited partnerships in 2010 and 2012, respectively. SBIC LP and
SBIC II received licenses from the SBA to operate as SBICs under Section 301(c) of the 1958 Act. Our SBIC Funds objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments generally by
investing with us in SBA eligible businesses that meet the investment criteria used by PennantPark Investment.

Our investment activities
are managed by the Investment Adviser. Under our Investment Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay our Investment Adviser an annual base management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our
investment performance. PennantPark Investment, through the Investment Adviser, provides similar services to our SBIC Funds under their investment management agreements. Our SBIC Funds investment management agreements do not affect the management
and incentive fees on a consolidated basis. We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and
other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under our Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and their respective staffs. PennantPark Investment, through the Administrator, provides similar services to our SBIC Funds under their administration agreements with us. Our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent
of us, supervises our activities, and the Investment Adviser manages our day-to-day activities.

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities we hold and capital gains and distributions, if any, on investment
securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured debt or mezzanine debt, typically have terms of three to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or a floating rate. Interest on debt
securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments and PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally
becomes due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of amendment, commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees. Loan origination fees,
OID, market discount or premium and deferred financing costs on financing costs on liabilities, which we do not fair value, are capitalized and then accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income or, in the case of
deferred financing cost, as interest expense. We record prepayment penalties on loans and debt securities as income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis on the ex-dividend date to the extent that we expect to collect such
amounts.

Expenses

Our primary
operating expenses include the payment of a management fee and the payment of an incentive fee to our Investment Adviser, if any, our allocable portion of overhead under our Administration Agreement and other operating costs as detailed below. Our
management fee compensates our Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, consummating and monitoring our investments. Additionally, we pay interest expense on the outstanding debt and unused commitment fees under our
various debt facilities. We bear all other direct or indirect costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:



| |  |  | the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments or complementary businesses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses incurred by the Investment Adviser in performing due diligence and reviews of investments;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer agent and custodial fees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal and state registration fees and any exchange listing fees;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal, state, local and foreign taxes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | independent directors fees and expenses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | brokerage commissions;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | fidelity bond, directors and officers, errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | direct costs such as printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act, the 1958 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | all other expenses incurred by either the Administrator or us in connection with administering our business, including payments under our Administration Agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion of
overhead, and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under our Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer,
Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, during periods of asset growth, we expect our general and
administrative expenses to be relatively stable or to decline as a percentage of total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities would be additive to
the expenses described above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The
preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of our assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements have been
included. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to changes in the economic and regulatory environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates and assumptions. We may reclassify certain prior
period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. References to the ASC serve as a single source of accounting literature. Subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed as
appropriate for events occurring through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. In addition to the discussion below, we describe our critical accounting policies in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We expect that there may not be readily available market values for many of our investments which are or will be in our portfolio, and we value
such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors using a documented valuation policy, described in this Report, and a consistently applied valuation process. With respect to investments
for which there is no readily available market value, the factors that the board of directors may take into account in pricing our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio
companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a
purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate or revise our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that
do not have a readily available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and the difference may be material.

Our investments generally consist of illiquid securities, including debt and equity investments. With respect to investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| | (1) | Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of our Investment Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the management of our Investment Adviser;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | Our board of directors also engages independent valuation firms to conduct independent appraisals of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not
reflective of the fair value of the investment. The independent valuation firms review managements preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment and also in light of any market quotations obtained from an independent
pricing service, broker, dealer or market maker;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | The audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of our Investment Adviser and those of the independent valuation firms on a quarterly basis, periodically assesses the valuation
methodologies of the independent valuation firms, and responds to and supplements the valuation recommendations of the independent valuation firms to reflect any comments; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (5) | Our board of directors discusses these valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith, based on the input of our Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firms
and the audit committee.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our board of directors generally uses market quotations to assess the value of our investments for
which market quotations are readily available. We obtain these market values from independent pricing services or at the bid prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers, if available, or otherwise by a principal market maker or a primary
market dealer. The Investment Adviser assesses the source and reliability of bids from brokers or dealers. If our board of directors has a bona fide reason to believe any such market quote does not reflect the fair value of an investment, it may
independently value such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available.

Fair value, as defined under ASC 820, is the price that we would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information
available to us on the reporting period date.

##### Table of Contents

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchies:



| |  |          |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
| |  | -------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | Level 1: |  | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
| |  |         
| |  | Level 2: |  | Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term, if applicable, of the financial instrument.
| |  |         
| |  | Level 3: |  | Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability because they are based on our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.                                                                                                                                                                                           

A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Generally, most of our investments and our Credit Facility are classified as Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily
available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and those differences may be material. A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis.

In addition to using the above inputs in cash equivalents, investments, our Notes and our Credit Facility valuations, we employ the valuation
policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The carrying value of our consolidated financial liabilities approximates fair value. We adopted ASC 825-10, which provides companies with an
option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, and made an irrevocable election to apply ASC 825-10 to our Credit Facility and our Notes. We elected to use the fair value option for the Credit Facility and our Notes to
align the measurement attributes of both our assets and liabilities while mitigating volatility in earnings from using different measurement attributes. ASC 825-10 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect on earnings of a companys choice to use fair value. ASC 825-10 also requires
entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and changes in fair value of the Credit Facility and our Notes are reported in our Consolidated Statements
of Operations. We elected not to apply ASC 825-10 to any other financial assets or liabilities, including the SBA debentures. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, our Credit Facility and our Notes had a net change in
unrealized depreciation of $10.3 million and $18.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, our Credit Facility and our Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation of $0.6 million and $1.7 million,
respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility and our Notes totaled $19.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. We use a nationally recognized independent valuation service
to fair value of our Credit Facility and our 2019 Notes in a manner consistent with the valuation process that the board of directors uses to value investments. Our 2025 Notes trade on the NYSE under the ticker PNTA, and we use the
closing price on the exchange to determine their fair value.

Revenue Recognition

We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt investments with
contractual PIK interest, which represents interest accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will generally not accrue PIK interest when the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not
collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt investments if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, OID, market discount or premium and deferred financing costs on liabilities
which we do not fair value are capitalized and then accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income or, in the case of deferred financing costs, as interest expense. We record prepayment penalties on loans and debt
investments as income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis on the ex-dividend date to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the
investment, using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation reflects the change in the fair value of our portfolio investment values, our Credit Facility and our Notes during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains
or losses are realized.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

1. Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities  at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the applicable
period; and

2. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses  at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective
dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described
above, we do not isolate that portion of the results of operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and debt from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments and liabilities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and liabilities.

Payment-In-Kind Interest or PIK

We have investments in our portfolio which contain a PIK interest provision. PIK interest is added to the principal balance of the investment
and is recorded as income. For us to maintain our status as a RIC, substantially all of this income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though we may not collect any cash with respect to PIK securities.

Federal Income Taxes

We have elected
to be taxed, and intend to qualify annually to maintain our election to be taxed, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax election, we must, among other requirements, meet certain source-of-income and quarterly asset
diversification requirements. We also must annually distribute dividends to our stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net
long-term capital losses, or investment company taxable income, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although not required for us to maintain our RIC tax status, in order to preclude the imposition of a 4% nondeductible federal
excise tax imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount generally at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of the
sum of our capital gain net income (i.e. the excess, if any, of our capital gains over capital losses) for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year plus (3) the sum of any net ordinary income plus net capital gain
income for preceding years that was not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax. In addition, although we may distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term
capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions in the manner described above, we have retained and may continue to retain such net capital gains or investment company taxable income, subject to
maintaining our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, to provide us with additional liquidity.

##### Table of Contents

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax
regulations may differ from net investment income and net realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the Consolidated
Financial Statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth below are
the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 was $39.1 million and $74.4 million, respectively, and was attributable
to $19.6 million and $32.5 million from senior secured loans, $13.8 million and $31.2 million from second lien secured debt, $5.7 million and $10.7 million from subordinated debt, preferred and common equity, respectively. This compares to
investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, which was $42.7 million and $81.9 million, respectively, and was attributable to $15.7 million and $30.3 million from senior secured loans, $18.8 million and $34.6 million
from second lien secured debt, $8.0 million and $16.3 million from subordinated debt, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million from preferred and common equity, respectively. The decrease in investment income compared with the same periods in the prior
year was primarily due to a lower yielding portfolio.

Expenses

Net expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $18.3 million and $36.7 million, respectively. Base management fee
for the same periods totaled $5.1 million (after a base management fee waiver of $1.0 million) and $10.6 million (after a base management fee waiver of $2.0 million), incentive fee totaled $4.0 million (after an incentive fee waiver of $0.7 million)
and $7.2 million (after an incentive fee waiver of $1.4 million), debt related interest and expenses totaled $6.9 million and $13.7 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.9 million and $3.5 million and provision for taxes totaled
$0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. This compares to expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, which totaled $20.6 million and $40.3 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $6.8 million
and $13.6 million, incentive fee totaled $5.5 million and $10.4 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $6.6 million and $13.1 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The
decrease in expenses compared with the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the Management Fee waiver and lower portfolio size offset by a higher provision for taxes.

Net Investment Income

Net investment
income totaled $20.8 million and $37.7 million, or $0.29 and $0.52 per share, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. Net investment income totaled $22.1 million and $41.6 million, or $0.29 and $0.55 per share, for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease in net investment income per share compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the repayments of higher yielding investments.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

Sales
and repayments of investments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $92.9 million and $201.0 million, respectively, and realized losses totaled $11.2 million and $36.6 million, respectively. Sales and repayments of
investments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $103.2 million and $182.5 million, respectively, and realized gains totaled $9.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively. The increase in realized losses compared with the
same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the changes in market conditions of our investments and a higher volume of sales and repayments.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments, Credit Facility and our Notes

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, we reported a net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $16.0 million and
$55.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we reported a net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $24.8 million and $77.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and
September 30, 2015, our net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $181.1 million and $125.2 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation on our investments was driven primarily by changes in the capital market
conditions, financial performance of certain portfolio companies, and the reversal of unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of investments liquidated.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, we reported a net change in unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility and our Notes
of $10.3 million and $18.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, we reported a net change in unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility, 2019 Notes and 2025 Notes of $0.6 million and $1.7 million,
respectively. The change compared with the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.

Net Change in Net
Assets Resulting from Operations

Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $3.9 million and $(36.8) million, or
$0.06 and $(0.51) per share, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. This compares to a net change in net assets resulting from operations of $7.4 million and $(16.6) million, or $0.10 and $(0.22) per share, for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease in the net change in net assets from operations compared with the same periods in the prior year reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting
periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations,
including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to
use, our debt capital and proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.

As of March 31, 2016, we had a $545 million multi-currency Credit Facility with certain lenders and SunTrust Bank, acting as administrative
agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acting as syndication agent for the lenders. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, there was $141.3 million and $136.9 million (including a temporary draw of $30.0 million), respectively, in
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate at the time of 2.80% and 3.07%, respectively, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments. The annualized weighted average cost of debt for
the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility and upfront fees on SBA debentures, was 4.42% and 4.57%, respectively. The Credit Facility is a five-year revolving facility
with a stated maturity date of June 25, 2019, a one-year term-out period following its fourth year and pricing is set at 225 basis points over LIBOR. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had $403.7 million and $408.1
million of unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility, respectively, subject to the regulatory restrictions. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets excluding assets held by our SBIC Funds.

For a complete list of covenants contained in the Credit Facility, see our Form 8-K filed on
June 30, 2014 and the Credit Facility agreement filed as Exhibit 99.2 thereto and incorporated by reference herein. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the terms of our Credit Facility.

In September 2014, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes, for net proceeds of $245.5 million after underwriting
discounts and offering costs. Interest on the 2019 Notes is paid semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, at a rate of 4.50% per year. The 2019 Notes mature on October 1, 2019. The 2019 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and
rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2019 Notes are structurally subordinated to our SBA debentures and the assets pledged or secured under our Credit Facility. Please see our base
indenture filed as Exhibit (d)(8) to our post-effective amendment filed on January 22, 2013, or the Base Indenture, and the supplemental indenture filed as Exhibit (d)(11) to our post-effective amendment filed on September 23, 2014 for
more information.

In January 2013, we issued $71.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes, after exercise of the
over-allotment option, for net proceeds of $68.8 million after underwriting discounts and offering costs. Interest on the 2025 Notes is paid quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, at a rate of
6.25% per year. The 2025 Notes mature on February 1, 2025. The 2025 Notes are general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are
structurally subordinated to our SBA debentures and the assets pledged or secured under our Credit Facility. Our 2025 Notes trade on the NYSE under the symbol PNTA. Please see our Base Indenture and the supplemental indenture filed as
Exhibit (d)(9) to our post-effective amendment filed on January 22, 2013 for more information.

We may raise additional equity or debt
capital through both registered offerings off our shelf registration statement and private offerings of securities, by securitizing a portion of our investments or borrowing from the SBA, among other sources. Any future additional debt capital we
incur, to the extent it is available, may be issued at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions than our current Credit Facility, SBA debentures or our Notes. Furthermore, our Credit Facility availability depends on various covenants
and restrictions. The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for repayment of indebtedness, investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to our stockholders or for other general corporate or
strategic purposes such as our stock repurchase program. For each of the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not issue shares of common stock in connection with an equity offering.

Our SBIC Funds are able to borrow funds from the SBA against regulatory capital (which approximates equity capital) that is paid-in and is
subject to customary regulatory requirements including an examination by the SBA. We have funded SBIC LP with $75.0 million of equity capital and it had SBA debentures outstanding of $150.0 million as of March 31, 2016. We have funded SBIC II
with $37.5 million of equity capital, and it had SBA debentures outstanding of $22.5 million and commitments from the SBA for another $52.5 million of debentures. SBA debentures are non-recourse to us and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The interest rate of SBA debentures is fixed at the time of issuance, often referred to as pooling, at a market-driven spread over 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes. Under current SBA regulations, a SBIC may individually borrow to a maximum of $150.0
million, which is up to twice its potential regulatory capital, and per recent regulatory changes, as part of a group of SBICs under common control may borrow a maximum of $350.0 million in the aggregate.

As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, our SBIC Funds had $225.0 million in debt commitments, of which $172.5 million and $150.0
million was drawn, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the unamortized fees on the SBA debentures was $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The SBA debentures upfront fees of 3.43% consist of a
commitment fee of 1.00% and an issuance discount of 2.43%, which are being amortized.

Our fixed-rate SBA debentures were as follows:

|(2) | As of September 30, 2015, the fixed all-in coupon rate was 3.70%.

The SBIC program is designed to stimulate the flow of capital into eligible businesses. Under SBA regulations, our SBIC Funds are subject to
regulatory requirements, including making investments in SBA eligible businesses, investing at least 25% of regulatory capital in eligible smaller businesses, as defined under the 1958 Act, placing certain limitations on the financing terms of
investments, prohibiting investment in certain industries and requiring capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to us, and are subject to periodic audits and examinations of their financial statements that are prepared on a basis of
accounting other than GAAP (for example, fair value, as defined under ASC 820, is not required to be used for assets or liabilities for such compliance reporting). As of March 31, 2016, our SBIC Funds were in compliance with their regulatory
requirements.

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, PennantPark Investment is only allowed to borrow amounts
such that our asset coverage ratio is met after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we excluded the principal amounts of our SBA debentures from our asset coverage ratio pursuant to SEC exemptive relief. In 2011,
we received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to modify the asset coverage ratio requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from the calculation. Accordingly, our ratio of total assets on a consolidated basis to outstanding indebtedness may
be less than 200% which, while providing increased investment flexibility, also increases our exposure to risks associated with leverage.

At March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents at fair value of $33.2 million and $49.6 million,
respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.

Our operating activities provided cash of $9.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, and our financing activities used cash of
$26.3 million for the same period. Our operating activities provided cash from sales and repayments on our investments and our financing activities used cash primarily for our stock repurchase plan.

Our operating activities used cash of $5.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015, primarily for net purchases of investments. Our
financing activities provided cash of $1.9 million for the same period, primarily from net borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Contractual
Obligations

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations at cost as of March 31, 2016, including borrowings
under our various debt facilities and other contractual obligations, is as follows:

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. Under our Investment Management Agreement, which was
most recently reapproved by our board of directors, including a majority of our directors who are not interested persons of us or the Investment Adviser, in February 2016, PennantPark Investment Advisers serves as our Investment Adviser in
accordance with the terms of that Investment Management Agreement. PennantPark Investment, through the Investment Adviser, provides similar services to our SBIC Funds under their investment management agreements with us. Our SBIC Funds
investment management agreements do not affect the management or incentive fees that we pay to the Investment Adviser on a consolidated basis. Payments under our Investment Management Agreement in each reporting period are equal to (1) a
management fee equal to a percentage of the value of our average adjusted gross assets and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.

Under our Administration Agreement, which was most recently reapproved by our board of directors, including a majority of our directors who are
not interested persons of us, in February 2016, PennantPark Investment Administration furnishes us with office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. PennantPark Investment, through the Administrator,
provides similar services to our SBIC Funds under their administration agreements, which are intended to have no effect on the consolidated administration fee. If requested to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, PennantPark
Investment Advisers or PennantPark Investment Administration will be paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which amount will not in any case exceed the amount we receive from the portfolio companies for such services. Payment
under our Administration Agreement is based upon our allocable portion of the Administrators overhead in performing its obligations under our Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our Chief
Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

If any of our contractual obligations discussed above is
terminated, our costs under new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we will likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under our Investment Management
Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment management agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

We
currently engage in no off-balance-sheet arrangements other than our funding requirements for the unfunded investments described above.

Distributions

In order to be subject to tax as a RIC and to not be subject to corporate-level tax on undistributed income or gains, we are
required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to annually distribute dividends to stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term
capital losses, or investment company taxable income, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although not required for us to maintain our RIC tax status, in order to preclude the imposition of a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax
imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount generally at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of the sum of our
capital gain net income (i.e., the excess, if any, of capital gains over capital losses) for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year plus (3) the sum of any net ordinary income plus capital gain net income for
preceding years that was not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax. In addition, although we may distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses),
if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions in the manner described above, we have retained and may continue to retain such net capital gains or investment company taxable income, subject to maintaining our
ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, to provide us with additional liquidity.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2016,
we declared distributions of $0.28 and $0.56 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $19.9 million and $40.0 million, respectively. For the same periods in the prior year, we declared distributions of $0.28 and $0.56 per share,
respectively, for total distributions of $21.0 million and $42.1 million, respectively. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for taxation purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable
earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed to be a return of capital to our common stockholders. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to
stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

We intend to continue to
make quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our quarterly distributions, if any, are determined by our board of directors.

We
maintain an opt out dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock,
unless they specifically opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.

We may not be able to
achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage
ratio for borrowings applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and/or due to provisions in future credit facilities. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible
loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

STOCK
REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On May 6, 2015, we announced a share repurchase plan which allows us to repurchase up to $35 million of our
outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below our net asset value as reported in our then most recently published consolidated financial statements. The shares may be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through
open market transactions, including block transactions. The program will expire May 6, 2016. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 0.7 million and 1.9 million shares of common stock, respectively,
in open market transactions for an aggregate cost (including transaction costs) of $3.7 million and $12.2 million, respectively. From May 6, 2015 to March 31, 2016, we purchased 4.0 million shares of common stock in open market
transactions for an aggregate cost (including transaction costs) of $30.1 million.

|Item 3. | Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We
are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2016, our debt portfolio consisted of 76% variable-rate investments (including 72% with a LIBOR or prime floor) and 24% fixed-rate investments. The
variable-rate loans are usually based on a LIBOR rate and typically have durations of three months after which they reset to current market interest rates. Variable-rate investments subject to a floor generally reset by reference to the current
market index after one to nine months only if the index exceeds the floor. In regards to variable-rate instruments with a floor, we do not benefit from increases in interest rates until such rates exceed the floor and thereafter benefit from market
rates above any such floor. In contrast, our cost of funds, to the extent it is not fixed, will fluctuate with changes in interest rates since it has no floor.

Assuming that the most recent Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities was to remain constant, and no actions were taken to alter the
interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates:



|                         |  |                                                                 |        |  |           |   |      |  |  | 
|------------------------ |  | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |  | --------- | - | ---- |  |  | 
|Change In Interest Rates |  | Change In Interest Income,Net Of Interest Expense(In Thousands) |        |  | Per Share |   |      | 
|Up 1%                    |  | $                                                               | 1,135  |  |           | $ | 0.02 |  | 
|Up 2%                    |  | $                                                               | 8,887  |  |           | $ | 0.13 |  | 
|Up 3%                    |  | $                                                               | 16,639 |  |           | $ | 0.23 |  | 
|Up 4%                    |  | $                                                               | 24,391 |  |           | $ | 0.34 |  | 

Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it
does not adjust for potential changes in the credit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets
resulting from operations, or net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from those shown above.

Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow
funds and the rate at which we invest these funds as well as our level of leverage. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income or net
assets.

We may hedge against interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options
and forward contracts or our Credit Facility subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, they may also limit
our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates or higher exchange rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this Report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging
activities or foreign currency hedging activities.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

As of the period covered by this
Report, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that
evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our
periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and
procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
