JW: | Hello, I’m Janice Walker, Chairman, President and CEO of HMS Income Fund. |
DH: | And I’m Dwayne Hyzak, CEO of Main Street Capital Corporation and a member the board of directors of HMS. Janice and I thank you for your continuing support as a shareholder of HMS and we are here asking for your participation in the fund’s upcoming annual shareholder meeting. The HMS board of directors unanimously recommends that all HMS shareholders vote FOR both proposals up for consideration at the annual meeting. |
JW: | As you know, Main Street is one of the top-performing business development companies in the market and has served as the sub-adviser for HMS since its inception. One of the proposals for shareholder approval is a new investment advisory agreement, which would result in Main Street becoming the sole adviser to HMS and will benefit you as a shareholder through reduced asset management fees. |
DH: | Main Street is excited about the opportunity to serve as the sole adviser to HMS. We believe that assuming this role is a natural progression from our role as sub-adviser to the fund and we believe that we’re the right party to successfully position the fund for the future. |
