“Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2020, by and among BBDC, Mustang Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BBDC (“Acquisition Sub”), the Company and Barings LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BBDC (the “First Step”). Immediately following the

amount of the issued and outstanding Notes is scheduled to be redeemed on January 22, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”) at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The
Company and BBDC deposited with U.S. Bank, National Association, the trustee for the Notes (the “Trustee”), funds from cash on hand sufficient to satisfy all obligations remaining to the Redemption Date under the Indenture, dated as of February
26, 2013 (the “Indenture”), and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 15, 2017 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). On December 23, 2020, the Trustee entered into a Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture with respect to the
