Summary of Quarterly Results Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2018 Highlights − Net increase in net assets resulting from operations (i.e. net income) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $15.9 million, or $0.26 per share, as compared to $21.7 million, or $0.36 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. − Net investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $20.3 million, or $0.34 per share, as compared to $18.7 million, or $0.31 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Excluding a $0.8 million reversal in the accrual for the capital gain incentive fee, net investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $19.5 million, or $0.321 per share, as compared to $19.4 million, or $0.331 per share, excluding a $0.7 million accrual for the capital gain incentive fee for the prior quarter. − Net realized and unrealized loss on investments and foreign currency of $4.4 million, or $0.08 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was the result of $2.8 million of net realized gains and $7.2 million of net unrealized depreciation. This compares to a net realized and unrealized gain on investments of $3.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the prior quarter. − New middle-market investment commitments totaled $182.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Approximately 14% of the new investment commitments were senior secured loans, 85% were one stop loans, and 1% were investments in equity securities. Overall, total investments in portfolio companies at fair value decreased by approximately 0.9%, or $15.7 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to net return of capital distributions of $20.1 million from our investment in Senior Loan Fund LLC (“SLF”). − On November 27, 2018, our Board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.32 per share and a special distribution of $0.12 per share, both payable on December 28, 2018 to holders of record as of December 12, 2018. The special distribution is due to taxable income exceeding distributions over the past year. 1. As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company”) has provided this non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful as it excludes the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee, including the portion of such accrual that is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company’s investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to include aggregate unrealized appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, the cumulative capital gain incentive fee accrued by the Company in accordance with GAAP is $7.2 million, of which $2.3 million was payable as a capital gain incentive fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement as of September 30, 2018. Any payment due under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement is based on the calculation at the end of each calendar year or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company paid a capital gain incentive fee in the amount of $1.2 million, calculated in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement as of December 31, 2017. The Company did not pay any capital gain incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement for any period ended prior to December 31, 2017. Although this non-GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. Refer to slide 4 for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure, net investment income per share. 3

The net income annualized return on average equity is calculated as (a) the net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the period presented divided by (b) the daily average of total net assets and does not represent a return to any investor in the Company. 2. As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided this non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful as it highlights the changes in NAV per common share for each quarter excluding the impact of special distributions that were paid and shows the pro forma change to the Company’s NAV after payment of regular distributions. 13
Portfolio Highlights – Senior Loan Fund LLC − The annualized quarterly return was 3.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The quarterly return was negatively impacted by a mark-to-market unrealized loss on one portfolio company investment and below target leverage. − Total investments at fair value for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were $179.2 million, a decrease of 20.7%, or $46.9 million, from June 30, 2018. − On August 31, 2018, the reinvestment period on SLF’s credit facility expired. Due to a paucity of attractive traditional senior secured opportunities, SLF determined not to extend the reinvestment period prior to the expiration of the reinvestment period but instead amended the facility on September 21, 2018 to reduce the interest rate on the facility from LIBOR + 2.15% to LIBOR + 2.05% and to reduce the commitment to advances outstanding.

Small Business Credit Availability Act Proposal for Stockholder Approval to be Subject to Reduced Asset Coverage – On November 27, 2018, the Board recommended that stockholders approve a proposal to be presented at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled for February 5, 2019, to increase the Company’s leverage limitation under the 1940 Act by reducing its required Asset Coverage Ratio from 200% to 150%. No Expected Changes to the Company’s Operating Plan Under Reduced Asset Coverage Requirement − Consistent approach on: − • Investment strategy • Asset mix • Credit selection • Currently expect to target GAAP leverage of 1.0x debt-to-equity Benefits to the Company and Stockholders − Increased cushion to regulatory leverage limit provides additional flexibility to manage capital − Greater flexibility to pursue cost effective, long-term securitization debt financing 17
