This filing provides crucial supplemental disclosures and detailed financial projections for both standalone companies and the pro forma combined entity, directly addressing shareholder lawsuits alleging incomplete information regarding the proposed merger with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation. The release of these projections (Net Investment Income, Dividend, and Net Asset Value per share through 2030) is highly material, especially for Monroe Capital, which recently reported a significant dividend cut and declining financials while trading near its 52-week low. While the company denies the merit of the lawsuits, these voluntary revisions aim to mitigate litigation risks and provide shareholders with more data ahead of the critical March 13, 2026, merger vote. The projections for Monroe Capital standalone show continued weakness, underscoring the potential strategic importance of the merger.
