Main Street Announces Second Quarter 2021 Regular Monthly Dividends

HOUSTON, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors declared regular monthly cash dividends of $0.205 per share for each of April, May and June 2021.  These monthly dividends, which will be payable pursuant to the table below, total $0.615 per share for the second quarter of 2021, which are consistent with the regular monthly dividends declared for the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020. Since its October 2007 initial public offering, Main Street has periodically increased the amount of its regular monthly dividends paid per share and has never reduced its regular monthly dividend amount per share.  Including all dividends declared to date, Main Street will have paid $30.83 per share in cumulative cash dividends since its October 2007 initial public offering at $15.00 per share. 

The final determination of the tax attributes for dividends each year are made after the close of the tax year.  The final tax attributes for 2021 dividends are currently expected to include a combination of ordinary taxable income and qualified dividends and may include capital gains and return of capital.

Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan (the "Plan").  The dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan (the "DRIP") provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of Main Street's registered stockholders who hold their shares with Main Street's transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, or certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate in the DRIP.  Under the DRIP, if Main Street declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Main Street common stock.  The direct stock purchase feature of the Plan (the "DSPP") provides investors with a convenient and economical method to purchase shares of Main Street common stock.  More information about the Plan (including the DSPP prospectus) can be found on the Main Street website (https://ir.mainstcapital.com/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan).
