PROXY STATEMENT
2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
The purpose of this supplement, dated October 22, 2019 (this “Supplement”), to the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Prospect Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 9, 2019, relating to the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on Tuesday, December 3, 2019, at 3:30 p.m., Eastern Time, at our offices, 10 East 40th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10016, and at any postponements, adjournments or delays thereof, is solely to include additional shares held by the John and Daria Barry Foundation in the Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management table, which were originally inadvertently excluded from the Proxy Statement.
No other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement or to the matters to be considered by the stockholders. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Proxy Statement.

As a reminder, for the reasons set forth in the Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” all Proposals.

Please vote your shares today so the Company can avoid additional solicitation expenses and potential delays.  If you do not have a copy of your proxy card, you may vote your shares by calling (866) 387-0770.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
As of the Record Date, there were no persons that owned 25% or more of our outstanding voting securities, and no person would be deemed to control us, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the “1940 Act”.
Our directors are divided into two groups - interested directors and independent directors. Interested directors are “interested persons” of the Company, as defined in the 1940 Act.
The following table sets forth, as of September 6, 2019, certain ownership information with respect to our common stock for those persons who may, insofar as is known to us, directly or indirectly own, control or hold with the power to vote, 5% or more of our outstanding common stock and the beneficial ownership of each current director and nominee for director, the Company’s executive officers, and the executive officers, nominees and directors as a group.
Ownership information for those persons, if any, who own, control or hold the power to vote, 5% or more of our shares of common stock is based upon Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filings by such persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “Commission,” and other information obtained from such persons, if available. Such information is as of the date of the applicable filing and may no longer be accurate.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that each person set forth in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock he or she beneficially owns and has the same address as the Company. Our address is 10 East 40th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10016.
