The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions. The reported price for the share purchases made on March 1, 2021 is based on prices ranging from a low of $15.28 per share to a high of $15.49 per share. The reporting person undertakes to provide to SLR Senior Investment Corp. (f/k/a Solar Senior Capital Ltd.) (the "Issuer"), any security holder of the Issuer or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price set forth above. Includes 87,874 shares of the Issuer held by Solar Capital Partners Employee Stock Plan, LLC (the "SCP Plan"), 8,457 shares of which are reported as purchased on this Form 4,and 23,379.4530 shares of which may be deemed to be repurchased due to cash settlement of previously granted restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The SCP Plan is controlled by SLR Capital Partners LLC (f/k/a Solar Capital Partners, LLC). ("SLR Capital Partners"). Michael S. Gross and Bruce J. Spohler may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of the shares held by the SCP Plan by virtue of their collective ownership interest in SLR Capital Partners. (Continued from Footnote (3)) In addition, the total includes 455,500 shares of the Issuer held by Solar Senior Capital Investors, LLC ("Solar Senior Investors") and 100 shares of the Issuer held by SLR Capital Management, LLC (f/k/a Solar Capital Management, LLC) ("SLR Management"), a portion of both of which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Messrs. Gross and Spohler by virtue of their collective ownership interest therein. In addition, the total includes 96,717 shares of the Issuer held by a grantor retained annuity trust setup by and for Mr. Gross (the "GRAT"). As the sole trustee of the GRAT, Mr. Gross may be deemed to directly beneficially own all of the shares held by the GRAT. Furthermore, the total includes 21,844 shares of the Issuer directly held by Mr. Gross' profit sharing plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan"). Mr. Gross may be deemed to directly beneficially own these shares as the sole participant in the Profit Sharing Plan. (Continued from Footnote (4)) Mr. Gross disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities directly held by the SCP Plan, Solar Senior Investors or SLR Management, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Gross is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose. Messrs. Spohler and Gross, as administrators of the SCP Plan, elected to settle 23,379.4530 RSUs previously granted to employees by paying their cash value as contemplated by the RSUs, which cash settlement may be deemed to be a purchase of the shares underlying the previously granted RSUs. The shares that may be deemed to have been acquired were previously reported as beneficially owned due to Mr. Gross's partial pecuniary interest as described in footnotes 3, 4 and 5. The settlement was approved in advance in accordance with Rule 16b-3. These 662,035 shares of the Issuer are the same number of shares held prior to the settlement of RSUs in cash because this transaction may only be a deemed acquisition for purposes of Section 16. No new shares of the Issuer were actually acquired as a result of the settlement of the 23,379.4530 RSUs. RSUs with respect to 23,379.4530 shares held by the SCP Plan granted to certain of SLR Capital Partners's employees on March 9, 2018 and March 5, 2019 settled on March 2, 2021. RSUs may be settled in shares of the Issuer's common stock or the cash value thereof on a one-for-one basis at the election of the SCP Plan administrators, Messrs. Gross and Spohler. The administrators elected to settle the vested portion in cash. Messrs. Gross and Spohler may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by the SCP Plan by virtue of their collective ownership interest in SLR Capital Partners. The total also reflects the unexpired RSUs previously granted on March 2, 2020, which did not vest or settle in 2021. Grants of new RSUs with respect to 44,882.5272 shares held by the SCP Plan to certain of SLR Capital Partners's employees pursuant to Restricted Stock Unit Agreements, dated March 2, 2021. Shares of the common stock of the Issuer underlying the RSUs are scheduled to vest in installments of 50% on March 1, 2023 and 50% on March 1, 2024. Upon settlement, the RSUs will become payable on a one-for-one basis in shares of the Issuer's common stock or the cash value thereof at the election of the SCP Plan administrators, Messrs. Spohler and Gross. Co-Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the Board /s/ Michael S. Gross 2021-03-03
