OF THE 2020 SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 1, 2020
Notice is hereby given to the owners of shares of common stock (the “Stockholders”) of BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”),
that:
Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of our Stockholders, employees and our community,
please note that the location of the 2020 Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) has been changed. As previously announced, the Special Meeting will be held on May 1, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. In light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak, the Special Meeting will be held over the web in a virtual meeting format only. You will not
be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. To attend the Special Meeting please follow the directions below and use the following link: www.meetingcenter.io/239061799.
As described in the proxy materials for the Special Meeting previously distributed, stockholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on March 2, 2020 (“Record Date Stockholders”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. A Record Date Stockholder who wishes to attend the Special Meeting must email Computershare at Maura.Stanley@computershare.com, or call Computershare at 201-680-3695, in order to register to attend the Special Meeting, obtain the password to access the Special Meeting and verify that you were a stockholder on the record date. If you are a record owner of shares, please have your 15-digit control number on your proxy card available when you call or include it in your email.

Record Date Stockholders registering to attend the Special Meeting will receive a confirmation email regarding registration.
If a Record Date Stockholder holds shares through a bank, broker or other nominee (a “Street Name Record Date Stockholder”), and wishes to attend and vote at the
Special Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with the proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form. Once you
have received a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, it should be emailed to Computershare at legalproxy@computershare.com and should be labeled “Legal Proxy” in the subject line or you may call Computershare at 866-333-6433 for
further instructions. Please include proof from your broker, bank or other agent of your valid proxy (e.g., an e-mail from a broker or an image of the legal proxy). You will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by
email from Computershare. Street Name Record Date Stockholders who do not provide a valid legal proxy, but provide other satisfactory evidence of their ownership of shares as of the record date for the Special Meeting, will be able to attend the
Special Meeting as a guest but will not receive a control number and will not be able to vote at the Special Meeting.
Please note that the proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location
and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Special Meeting.
