**Runway Growth Finance Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2026** 

**Dividend of $0.33 per Share** 

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 6, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Runway Growth Finance Corp. (Nasdaq: RWAY) ("Runway Growth" or the "Company"), a leading provider of flexible capital solutions to late- and growth-stage companies seeking an alternative to raising equity, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a second quarter 2026 cash distribution of $0.33 per share.

The following shows the key dates of the second quarter 2026 dividend:

Declaration Date: May 5, 2026

Record Date: May 18, 2026

Payment Date: June 2, 2026

Runway Growth generally intends to distribute, out of assets legally available for distribution, substantially all of its available earnings, on a quarterly basis, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. Any distribution by the Company will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, maintenance of regulated investment company status for income tax purposes, compliance with applicable business development company regulations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. The Company also maintains an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan, as amended, for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company declares a distribution, then stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock.
