Dear Stockholder,

Over the past several weeks numerous communications and distributions of proxy materials have been completed in connection with the March 21, 2022 Special Meeting of SLR Investment Corp. (“SLRC”) stockholders.

You are receiving this letter, along with a voting instruction form, because you have not yet submitted your vote for this extremely important proposal related to the proposed merger with SLR Senior Investment Corp. (“SUNS”). Please review the proxy materials at www.proxyvote.com, by entering your 16 digit control number, to learn more about this proposed merger.

The Boards of Directors of both SLRC and SUNS, on the recommendation of their special committees consisting only of the independent directors, have unanimously approved the merger.

SUPPORT YOUR COMPANY

Stockholder approval is required to close the proposed merger and we need a high level of participation from stockholders. Votes received to date have been overwhelmingly supportive but we need your help and support to no longer expend stockholder capital on the solicitation efforts.

WE NEED YOUR VOTE TODAY

We are sending this letter because of your sizeable investment in our Company. We endeavor to have meaningful relationships with our largest shareholders and would appreciate the opportunity to connect and discuss your investment in SLR Investment Corp. Most importantly, if you have any questions about the proposed merger, or need assistance voting your shares please contact Richard Pivirotto, Head of Investor Relations at 212-994-8543.
