Exhibit 99.1

 

Monroe Capital Corporation Receives SBA Green Light Letter and Submits Application for SBIC License

Chicago, Ill., July 2, 2013 – Monroe Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: MRCC) (the “Company”) today announced the receipt of a green light letter from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) inviting the Company to continue its application process to obtain a license to form and operate a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) subsidiary. The Company has completed and submitted its application to the SBA.

If approved, the license would provide the Company with an incremental source of attractive long-term capital through the use of SBA debentures. This would be the second SBIC license held by affiliates of Monroe Capital LLC. However, receipt of a green light letter from the SBA does not assure an applicant that the SBA will ultimately issue an SBIC license and the Company has received no assurance or indication from the SBA that it will receive an SBIC license, or of the timeframe in which it would receive a license, should one ultimately be granted.
