DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, MSC Income’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “Prior DRIP”) provided for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders. As a result, if MSC Income declared a cash dividend, its stockholders who had “opted in” to the Prior DRIP would have had their cash dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of MSC Income common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to a stockholder under the Prior DRIP was determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by a price per share of common stock determined by MSC Income’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, that was (i) not less than the NAV per share of common stock determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, within 48 hours prior to the payment of the distribution and (ii) not more than 2.5% greater than the NAV per share as of such date.
Effective as of the date of the Company’s Board of Directors’ first declaration of a dividend or distribution on the Company’s common stock following the MSC Income Listing, the Company has adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (the “New DRIP” and, together with the Prior DRIP, the “DRIP”). The New DRIP provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of the Company’s registered stockholders who hold their shares with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, or certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate in the New DRIP, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result, if the Company declares a cash dividend, its registered stockholders (or stockholders holding shares through participating brokerage firms) who have not properly “opted out” of the New DRIP will have their cash dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of the Company’s common stock. For the avoidance of doubt, stockholders of the Company who did not elect to “opt in” to the New DRIP in effect prior to the effective date of the “opt out” New DRIP will be deemed to have made an election to “opt out” of our New DRIP as of the effective date of the “opt out” New DRIP and to continue to receive cash in connection with any cash dividend declared by the Company. The share requirements of the New DRIP may be satisfied through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of the Company’s common stock reported on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding the dividend payment date for each dividend. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the New DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs. Our DRIP is administered by our transfer agent.
