EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2012, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 8, 2013 (the Original Filing). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not
included in the Original Filing, as we will file our definitive proxy statement more than 120 days after the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of
our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted.

Except as set forth in Part III below
and the correction of the List of Exhibits and Index to Exhibits, no other changes are made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing. Unless expressly stated, this Amendment does not
reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, nor does it modify or update in any way the disclosures contained in the Original Filing.

Executive Officers

Theodore L. Koenig  Mr. Koenig has served as our chief executive officer since our formation in February 2011. His biographical information and business experience is described above
under Class III Directors.

Aaron D. Peck Mr. Peck has served as our chief financial
officer, chief investment officer and chief compliance officer since September 2012. His biographical information and business experience is described above under Class II Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Organization of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established an audit committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any
direct compensation from us. The Board of Directors held one meeting in 2012. We encourage, but do not require, the directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. Since they have joined the Board of Directors, each of our current directors
has attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the respective committees on which he served that has been held during their period of service. We did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2012
because we did not become a public reporting company until October 2012.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to our business and affairs. Among other things, the Board of Directors approves the appointment of our Investment Advisor,
administrator and officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by our Investment Advisor, administrator and officers and approves the engagement, and reviews the performance of, our independent registered public accounting
firm.

Under the bylaws, the Board of Directors may designate a chairman to preside over the meetings of the Board of
Directors and meetings of the stockholders and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors. We do not have a fixed policy as to whether the chairman of the Board of Directors should be an independent director and
believe that our flexibility to select the chairman and reorganize our leadership structure from time to time is in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

Presently, Mr. Koenig serves as the chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Koenig is an interested director because he is our Chief Executive Officer, serves on our Investment Advisors
investment committee and is a manager of our Investment Advisor. We believe that Mr. Koenigs history with the Company, familiarity with the Monroe Capital investment platform and extensive experience investing in and managing private
equity and debt investments qualifies him to serve as chairman of the Board of Directors. Moreover, our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders for Mr. Koenig to lead our Board of Directors because of
his broad experience with the Monroe Capital platform, day-to-day management and operation of other investment funds and his significant background in the financial services industry, as described above.

Our Board of Directors does not have a lead independent director. However, Mr. Allison, the chairman of the audit committee, is an
independent director and acts as a liaison between the independent directors and management between meetings of our Board of Directors and is involved in the preparation of agendas for board and committee meetings. Our Board of Directors believes
that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of our characteristics and circumstances because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that encourages effective oversight.
The members of our Board of Directors also believe that its size creates a highly efficient governance structure that provides ample opportunity for direct communication and interaction between both the members of management and our Investment
Advisor and our Board of Directors.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors performs its risk oversight function primarily through (a) its two standing committees, which report to the
entire Board of Directors and are comprised solely of independent directors and (b) monitoring by the our Chief Compliance Officer in accordance with its compliance policies and procedures.

As described below in more detail under Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the
audit committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The audit committees risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing our accounting and
financial reporting processes, our systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and audits of our financial statements and discussing with management our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor
and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies. The nominating and corporate governance committees risk oversight responsibilities include selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by
our stockholders, developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and its committees. Both the audit committee and the nominating and corporate
governance committee consist solely of independent directors.

The Board of Directors also performs its risk oversight
responsibilities with the assistance of the Chief Compliance Officer. The Companys Chief Compliance Officer prepares a written report annually discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of our compliance policies and procedures and certain of
its service providers. The Chief Compliance Officers report, which is reviewed by the Board of Directors, addresses at a minimum (a) the operation of our compliance policies and procedures and certain of its service providers since the
last report; (b) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (c) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the Chief Compliance Officers annual review; and
(d) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board of Directors would reasonably need to know to oversee our compliance activities and risks. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer meets
separately in executive session with the independent directors periodically, but in no event less than once each year.

We
believe that the Board of Directors role in risk oversight is effective and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which it is already subject as a business development company. Specifically, as a business development company, we must
comply with certain regulatory requirements that control the levels of risk in its business and operations. For example, our ability to incur indebtedness is limited such that our asset coverage must equal at least 200% immediately after each time
we incur indebtedness and we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets. In addition, we intend to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code. As a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain income source and asset diversification requirements.

We believe that Board of Directors existing role in risk oversight is appropriate.
However, we re-examine the manners in which the Board of Directors administers its oversight function on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to meet the Companys needs.

Audit Committee

Thomas J. Allison, Jeffrey A. Golman and Robert S. Rubin
serve as members of our audit committee. The members of the audit committee are independent directors, each of whom meets the independence standards established by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market for audit committees and is independent for
purposes of the 1940 Act. Mr. Allison serves as chairman of the audit committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee is an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined
under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. The audit committee is responsible for approving our independent accountants, reviewing with our independent accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional
services provided by our independent accountants, reviewing the independence of our independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. The audit committee is also responsible for aiding our board of directors in
fair value pricing debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. The board of directors and audit committee will utilize the services of independent valuation firms to help them
determine the fair value of these securities. The audit committee charter is available on our corporate website.

Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee

The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are Jeffrey A. Golman, Jorde M.
Nathan and Robert S. Rubin, each of whom is independent for purposes of the 1940 Act and the Nasdaq corporate governance regulations. Mr. Golman serves as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and
corporate governance committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the board or a committee of the board, developing and recommending to the
board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the board and our management. The nominating and corporate governance committee charter is available on our corporate website.

The nominating and corporate governance committee considers nominees to the board of directors recommended by a stockholder, if such
stockholder complies with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that a stockholder who wishes to nominate a person for election as a director at a meeting of stockholders must deliver written notice to our corporate
secretary. This notice must contain, as to each nominee, all of the information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement meeting the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and certain other
information set forth in the bylaws. In order to be eligible to be a nominee for election as a director by a stockholder, such potential nominee must deliver to our corporate secretary a written questionnaire providing the requested information
about the background and qualifications of such person and a written representation and agreement that such person is not and will not become a party to any voting agreements, any agreement or understanding with any person with respect to any
compensation or indemnification in connection with service on the board of directors, and would be in compliance with all of our publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies
and guidelines.

Compensation Committee

We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. Our executive officers are paid by our Investment Advisor. However, the investment
advisory and management agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, which provides for the compensation payable to the Investment Advisor, is separately approved by a majority of the independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 5605(d) and Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act.

Code of Business Conduct

We have adopted a code of ethics, or our Code of Business Conduct, that all of our officers, directors and employees and our Investment
Advisor are expected to observe. Our Code of Business Conduct can be accessed via our website. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of required provisions of the Code of Business Conduct on our website. We will provide any person,
without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct. To receive a copy, please provide a written request to: Monroe Capital Corporation, Attn: Chief Compliance Officer, 311 South Wacker Drive, Suite 6400, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the disclosure requirements of Item 405 of SEC Regulation S-K require that our directors
and executive officers, and any persons holding more than 10% of any class of our equity securities report their ownership of such equity securities and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the SEC, Nasdaq and to us. Based solely on a review
of the written statements and copies of such reports furnished to us by our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners, we believe that during fiscal year 2012 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the
executive officers, directors and stockholders were timely satisfied.

Compensation
Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation

Our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees. Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by
our Investment Advisor. Services necessary for our business are provided by individuals who are employees of an affiliate of our Investment Advisor, pursuant to the terms of our Investment Advisory Agreement and our administration agreement. Each of
our executive officers is an employee of an affiliate of our Investment Advisor. We reimburse MC Management, as administrator, for its allocable portion of expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the administration agreement,
including its allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs, and we reimburse our Investment Advisor for certain expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Investment Advisor earned approximately $318,000 in fees for the year ended
December 31, 2012. Even though no Capital Gains Fee was payable to our Investment Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2012, we accrued a Capital Gains Fee of $6,503 in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012,
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. In addition, during 2012, we have accrued $132,329 of expenses to be reimbursed to MC Management under the Administration Agreement. We reimbursed these accrued
expenses to MC Management in the first fiscal quarter of 2013.

Director Compensation

Each independent director, as well as Mr. Steele, who is not an employee of us or our Investment Advisor, receives an annual retainer
of $20,000 for serving on the board of directors and a $1,000 fee for each meeting attended. The chair of our audit committee receives a $15,000 annual retainer and the chair of our nominating and corporate governance committee receives a $5,000
annual retainer. Interested Directors, other than Mr. Steele, do not receive additional compensation for service as a member of our board of directors. We also reimburse each of the above directors for all reasonable and authorized
business expenses in accordance with our policies as in effect from time-to-time.

The following table shows information
regarding the compensation received by our directors, none of whom is an employee of the Company, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. No compensation is paid by us to interested directors, other than to Mr. Steele, who is not an
employee of us or our Investment Advisor. There are no executive officers of the Company who are not directors.

|ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

We have entered into
agreements with MC Advisors, in which our senior management and members of MC Advisors investment committee have ownership and financial interests. Members of our senior management and members of the investment committee also serve as
principals of other investment managers affiliated with MC Advisors that do, and may in the future, manage investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles with investment objectives similar to ours. Our senior management team holds equity
interests in MC Advisors. In addition, our executive officers and directors and the principals of MC Advisors and members of the investment committee serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same, or
related, line of business as we do or of investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles managed by our affiliates. These investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles may have investment objectives similar to our investment
objectives.

While MC Advisors currently contemplates that we will be the only investment vehicle managed by it or one of its
affiliates with an investment strategy focused primarily on senior, unitranche and junior secured debt and, to a lesser extent, unsecured subordinated debt and equity investments in lower middle-market companies in the United States and Canada, we
may compete with entities managed by MC Advisors and its affiliates for capital and similar investment opportunities in the future. As a result, we may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by investment funds,
accounts or other investment vehicles managed by MC Advisors or its affiliates or by members of the investment committee. However, in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties to each of its clients, MC Advisors intends to allocate investment
opportunities on an alternating basis in a manner that is fair and equitable over time and is consistent with MC Advisors allocation policy, investment objective and strategies so that we are not disadvantaged in relation to any other client.
MC Advisors has agreed with our board of directors that allocations among us and other investment funds affiliated with MC Advisors will be made based on capital available for investment in the asset class being allocated. We expect that our
available capital for investments will be determined based on the amount of cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, and the targeted leverage level and targeted asset mix and diversification requirements and other investment
policies and restrictions set by our board of directors or as imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations or interpretations.

Affiliates of MC Advisors manage other assets in a closed-end fund and a small business investment company that also have an investment strategy focused primarily on senior, unitranche and junior secured
debt and to a lesser extent, unsecured subordinated debt to lower middle-market companies. In addition, although we are currently the only entity managed by MC Advisors, it may manage other entities in the future with an investment focus similar to
ours. To the extent that we compete with entities managed by MC Advisors or any of its affiliates for a particular investment opportunity, MC Advisors will allocate investment opportunities across the entities for which such opportunities are
appropriate, consistent with (a) its internal conflict of interest and allocation policies, (b) the requirements of the Advisers Act and (c) certain restrictions under the 1940 Act and rules thereunder regarding co-investments with
affiliates. MC Advisors allocation policies are intended to ensure that we may generally share equitably with other investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by MC Advisors or its affiliates in investment opportunities,
particularly those involving a security with limited supply or involving differing classes of securities of the same issuer which may be suitable for us and such other investment funds or other investment vehicles.

MC Advisors and/or its affiliates may in the future sponsor or manage investment vehicles with similar or overlapping investment
strategies and will put in place a conflict-resolution policy that addresses the co-investment restrictions set forth under the 1940 Act. MC Advisors will seek to ensure an equitable allocation of investment opportunities when we are able to invest
alongside other accounts managed by MC Advisors and its affiliates. When we invest alongside such other accounts as permitted, and in the absence of receiving exemptive relief from the SEC that would permit greater flexibility relating to
co-investments, such investments will be made consistent with MC Advisors allocation policy. Under this allocation policy, a fixed percentage of each opportunity, which may vary based on asset class and from time to time, will be offered to us
and similar eligible accounts, as periodically determined by MC Advisors and approved by our board of directors, including our independent directors. The allocation policy provides that allocations among us and other accounts will generally be made
pro rata based on each accounts capital available for investment, as determined, in our case, by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. It is our policy to base our determinations as to the amount of capital
available for investment on such factors as the amount of cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, the targeted leverage level, the targeted asset mix and diversification requirements and other investment policies and restrictions
set by our board of directors, or imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations or interpretations. We expect that these determinations will be made similarly for other accounts. In situations where co-investment with other entities sponsored or
managed by MC Advisors or its affiliates is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, MC Advisors will need to decide whether we or such other entity or entities will
proceed with the investment. MC Advisors will make these determinations based on its policies and procedures which will generally require that such opportunities be offered to eligible accounts on a basis that will be fair and equitable over time,
including, for example, through random or rotational methods.

##### Table of Contents

We have in the past and expect in the future to co-invest on a concurrent basis with other
affiliates, unless doing so is impermissible with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if we receive an order from the SEC permitting us to do
so. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any such order. We and MC Advisors have submitted an exemptive application to the SEC to permit us to negotiate the terms of co-investments if our board of directors determines that it would be
advantageous for us to co-invest with other funds managed by MC Advisors or its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent
factors.

Our senior management, members of MC Advisors investment committee and other investment professionals from MC
Advisors may serve as directors of, or in a similar capacity with, companies in which we invest or in which we are considering making an investment. Through these and other relationships with a company, these individuals may obtain material
non-public information that might restrict our ability to buy or sell the securities of such company under the policies of the company or applicable law.

We have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with MC Advisors and will pay MC Advisors a management fee and incentive fee. The incentive fee will be computed and paid on income that we may not
have yet received in cash. This fee structure may create an incentive for MC Advisors to invest in certain types of securities that may have a high degree of risk. Additionally, we rely on investment professionals from MC Advisors to assist our
board of directors with the valuation of our portfolio investments. MC Advisors management fee and incentive fee are based on the value of our investments and there may be a conflict of interest when personnel of MC Advisors are involved in
the valuation process for our portfolio investments.

We have entered into an administration agreement, pursuant to which MC
Management furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services at such facilities. Under our administration agreement, MC Management performs, or oversees the performance of, our
required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC.

We have entered into a license agreement with Monroe Capital under which Monroe Capital has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive,
royalty-free license to use the name Monroe Capital for specified purposes in our business. Under this agreement, we have a right to use the Monroe Capital name, subject to certain conditions, for so long as MC Advisors or
one of its affiliates remains our investment advisor. Other than with respect to this limited license, we have no legal right to the Monroe Capital name.

Pursuant to its charter, our audit committee is responsible for reviewing with both management and the Companys independent accountants, as appropriate, all related party transactions or dealings
with parties related to the Company.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has a majority of directors who are independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq. The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules provide that a director of a
business development company shall be considered to be independent if he or she is not an interested person of the Company, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act defines an
interested person to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the Company.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent: Messrs. Allison, Golman, Nathan and Rubin. Messrs.
Koenig and Peck are interested persons due to their positions with the Company and/or our Investment Advisor, as discussed in their respective biographies. Mr. Steele is an interested person due to his employment with a
participating lender under our credit facility. Based upon independently verified information obtained from each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that none of the
independent directors has a material business or professional relationship with the Company, other than in his capacity as a member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

|ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
|-------- | --------------------------------------

McGladrey LLP (McGladrey) has been nominated as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries at and
during the Companys fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. McGladrey was nominated by the Audit Committee of the Company, and that selection is expected to be ratified by a majority of the Companys Board, including all of the
Independent Directors, at an in-person meeting held within 30 days prior to the Annual Meeting, called for the purpose of selecting an independent auditor. The Company does not know of any direct or indirect financial interest of McGladrey in the
Company. Representative(s) of McGladrey will attend the board meeting and the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to answer questions.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Accounting Firm

McGladrey served as the Independent Auditors for the Company in the year ended December 31, 2012. Approximate fees paid to McGladrey were as follows:

Audit Fees: Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our
year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by McGladrey in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit fees related to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 billed to the Company were $214,380
and $0, respectively. Of the audit fees billed, no fees were billed to the Company related to Form N-2 Registration Statement and Prospectus filings during 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees: Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services
that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under Audit Fees. These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and
consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. There were no audit related fees billed by McGladrey during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Tax Fees: Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance. These services
include assistance regarding federal, state, and local tax compliance. There were no tax fees billed by McGladrey during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

All Other Fees: Other fees would include fees billed for products and services other than the services
reported above. There were no other fees billed during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Audit Committee
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that describes the
permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by McGladrey, the Companys independent auditor. The policy requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve the audit and permissible non-audit services performed by the
independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the auditors independence. While there were no audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees incurred in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, if
any of these would have been incurred, they would have been approved by the Audit Committee.

Any requests for audit,
audit-related, tax and other services that have not received general pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-approval, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally, pre-approval is provided at
regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to
the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
