RE: Adjourned Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Dear Shareholder:

We are almost there, but we need your help.

CM Finance Inc recently held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. The proposals that were considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in CM Finance Inc’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy”).

At the Annual Meeting, our shareholders voted to approve the first proposal found in the Proxy.

The Annual Meeting has been adjourned until Thursday November 30, 2017 to afford additional time to solicit shareholder votes for the second proposal found in the Proxy. The adjourned meeting will be held at the offices of Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP, The Grace Building, 40th Floor, 1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Our records indicate that CM Finance Inc, in which you are invested, has yet to receive sufficient voter participation for Proposal 2. We apologize for the continued follow-up regarding this matter. However, it is critical that we receive your proxy vote by November 30, 2017. Please help us to avoid further delay and cost by taking a moment to cast your vote today.

We value your time and have set up convenient voting options. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” Proposal 2, a description of which is included in the Proxy, on the enclosed copy of your proxy card(s). Thank you in advance to your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely yours,
