mainstcapital.com NYSE: MAIN Main Street Capital Corporation Page 5 MAIN is a Principal Investor in Private Debt and Equity Long-term focus on delivering our shareholders sustainable growth in net asset value and recurring dividends per share Consistent cash dividend yield – dividends paid monthly • MAIN has never decreased its monthly dividend rate • 86% increase in monthly dividends from $0.33 per share paid in Q4 2007 to declared dividends of $0.615 per share for Q3 2021 Owns two Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Funds • Main Street Mezzanine Fund (2002 vintage) and Main Street Capital III (2016 vintage) • Provides access to 10-year, low cost, fixed rate government- backed leverage Strong capitalization and liquidity position – stable, long-term debt and significant available liquidity to take advantage of opportunities • Favorable opportunities in capital markets through investment grade rating of BBB-/Stable from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services • Total SBIC debenture regulatory financing capacity of $350.0 million MAIN’s unique investment strategy, efficient operating structure and conservative capitalization are designed to provide sustainable, long-term growth in recurring monthly dividends and long-term capital appreciation to our shareholders

mainstcapital.com NYSE: MAIN Main Street Capital Corporation Page 6 MAIN is a Principal Investor in Private Debt and Equity Equity investments in LMM portfolio provide both the opportunity to grow net asset value (NAV) per share and generate recurring dividend income and periodic realized gains to support MAIN’s dividend growth • NAV growth of $9.80 per share (or 76%) since 2007 • Cumulative net realized gains from LMM portfolio investments of $106.9 million since MAIN’s initial public offering • Approximately $2.93 per share in cumulative, pre-tax net unrealized appreciation on LMM portfolio at March 31, 2021 • Realized gains provide taxable income in excess of net investment income and help fund MAIN’s dividends Internally managed operating structure provides significant operating leverage • Favorable ratio of total operating expenses, excluding interest expense, to average total assets of approximately 1.4%(1) • Greater portion of gross portfolio returns are delivered to our shareholders • Significant positive impact to Net Investment Income • Alignment of interests between MAIN management and our shareholders Focus on LMM equity investments and efficient operating structure differentiates MAIN and provides opportunity for significant total returns for our shareholders (1) Based upon the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2021

mainstcapital.com NYSE: MAIN Main Street Capital Corporation Page 7 MAIN Strategy Produces Differentiated Returns Enhanced Value Proposition - Three Ways to Win are Better Than One 1. Sustain and Grow Dividends • Efficient operating structure provides operating leverage to grow Distributable Net Investment Income (DNII) (1), and dividends paid, as investment portfolio and total investment income grow • 86% increase in monthly dividends from $0.33 per share paid in Q4 2007 to declared dividends of $0.615 per share for Q3 2021 • Never decreased regular monthly dividends (including through 2008/2009 recession and 2020/2021 COVID-19 pandemic) • Paid or declared $31.445 per share in total dividends since October 2007 IPO at $15.00 per share ($27.405 per share in regular dividends and $4.040 per share in supplemental dividends) • Multi-faceted investment strategy supports growth of dividends over various cycles and markets 2.

Supplement Growth in DNII (1) with Periodic Realized Gains • LMM equity component of investment strategy provides opportunity for meaningful realized gains (analogous to PIK income on debt investments from cash flow perspective, but more tax efficient and without cap on upside) • Realized gains validate the quality of MAIN’s unrealized appreciation • Realized gains can be paid to shareholders as dividends or retained for future reinvestment due to MAIN’s unique tax structure (1) See reconciliation of DNII per share to Net Investment Income per share and Non-GAAP Information disclosures included on pages 37 and 47 of this presentation

mainstcapital.com NYSE: MAIN Main Street Capital Corporation Page 47 Non-GAAP Information Distributable net investment income is net investment income, as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. MAIN believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure of information for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MAIN’s financial performance. Net Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated as the Debt to NAV Ratio as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except that total debt is reduced by cash and cash equivalents. The Non-SBIC Debt to NAV Ratio is calculated in the same manner as the Debt to NAV Ratio, except that outstanding SBIC debentures are excluded from the debt pursuant to an exemptive order Main Street received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Main Street believes presenting the Net Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial position and leverage. Main Street believes presenting the Non-SBIC Debt to NAV Ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because Main Street, a business development company, is permitted to exclude such borrowings from its regulatory asset coverage ratio calculation pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Non-SBIC Debt to NAV Ratio are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered as replacements for the Debt to NAV Ratio and other financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the Net Debt to NAV Ratio and the Non-SBIC Debt to NAV Ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial position.
