            MVC SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE BOARD'S LONG-TERM PLAN FOR FUND

               --------------------------------------------------

     MENLO PARK, California, September 16, 2003 - MVC Capital (NYSE: MVC) today
announced that Fund shareholders voted to implement the Board of Directors'
long-term plan. At least 7.5 million votes were cast in favor of the plan, which
represents 91 percent of the votes cast and 47 percent of the Fund's total

Manager of the Fund. Additionally, as part of the approved plan, the Fund will
conduct a tender offer for 25% of MVC's outstanding shares at a price of 95% of
the Fund's Net Asset Value. These measures will be implemented by the Board as
soon as practicable.
