EXPLANATORY NOTE

Gladstone Capital Corporation (“we” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”), to provide separate unaudited financial statements for our unconsolidated portfolio company, RBC Acquisition Corp. and Subsidiary (“RBC”), as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (Exhibit 99.5), separate audited financial statements for RBC as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 (Exhibit 99.6) and separate unaudited financial statements for RBC as of and for the fiscal years ended September 2013 and 2012 (Exhibit 99.7), in Part IV, Item 15.

We have determined that this unconsolidated portfolio company has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to attach separate financial statements as exhibits to the Form 10-K. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b)(1), the separate financial statements of RBC are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K, within 90 days after the end of our fiscal year.

This Amendment also updates, amends and supplements Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K to include, among other items, the filing of new Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) and (b).

No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K other than that described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after filing of the Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Form 10-K.
