CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORPORATION DECLARES REGULAR DIVIDEND AND ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 NET ASSET VALUE

DALLAS – October 27, 2014 – The board of directors of Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ: CSWC), a publicly traded business development company that makes private equity investments, has declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.10 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on November 28, 2014 to shareholders of record on November 14, 2014.

CSWC also reported total net assets at September 30, 2014 of $758,270,910, equivalent to $48.79 per share. Comparative data is summarized below:

	September 30, 2014	March 31, 2014	September 30, 2013
Net assets	$758,270,910	$770,388,014	$712,730,333
Shares outstanding	15,540,732	15,413,532	15,258,864
Net assets per share	$48.79	$49.98	$46.71

During the six months ended September 30, 2014, net assets decreased by $12,117,104. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $38,826,965 in unrealized appreciation of our investments and a net investment loss of $2,721,678. Offsetting these decreases was $30,679,890 of net realized gain on investments. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on retained long-term capital gains, the September 30, 2014 net asset value was 2.1% less than the March 31, 2014 net asset value of $49.98 per share and 5.8% above the September 30, 2013 net asset value of $46.71 per share.
