Great Elm Capital Corp. reported first quarter 2026 results and announced a leadership change. Net investment income was $5.0 million, or $0.36 per share, up from $0.31 in the prior quarter, helped by a $2.8 million incentive fee waiver. Net asset value per share declined to $7.74 from $8.07 as unrealized losses outweighed realized gains.
The board appointed Jason Reese as Chief Executive Officer, effective after the Q1 10-Q filing, succeeding Matt Kaplan, who remains a portfolio manager at the external adviser. GECC called or repurchased all $57.5 million of 2026 notes, leaving no funded debt maturities until 2029, and maintained strong liquidity with about $10 million in cash, $50 million of revolver availability, and $4 million of liquid exchange-traded assets as of March 31, 2026.
The board declared a $0.25 per share cash distribution for the second quarter of 2026, equating to an 18% annualized yield on the May 1, 2026, closing price and 12.9% on NAV. The company repurchased roughly 1% of outstanding shares at an average 36% discount to March 31, 2026 NAV, and its adviser waived all accrued incentive fees through June 30, 2026.
Great Elm Capital Corp. is redeeming all of its 5.875% Notes due 2026 on May 27, 2026. Holders will receive 100% of principal, equal to $25.00 per Note, plus $0.228472 of accrued and unpaid interest per Note through, but excluding, the redemption date.
After May 27, 2026, interest on the redeemed Notes will stop accruing, and holders’ remaining right will be to receive the redemption payment upon surrender of their Notes. Notes held in book-entry form will be processed through The Depository Trust Company, with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC acting as trustee and paying agent.
Great Elm Capital Corp. reported fourth quarter 2025 results showing strong income but significant valuation pressure. Total investment income was $12.6 million, generating net investment income of $4.4 million, or $0.31 per share, more than 50% higher than the prior quarter as higher cash income from investments flowed through.
However, net realized and unrealized losses of about $26.4 million, mostly unrealized, reduced net asset value from $10.01 to $8.07 per share, with full‑year net losses of $49.1 million. The board declared a $0.30 per share cash distribution for the first quarter of 2026, equating to a 19.2% annualized yield on the February 27, 2026 closing price of $6.26.
The company is also reshaping governance and its balance sheet. Jason Reese was appointed Executive Chairman, succeeding Matthew Drapkin, and the external adviser waived all accrued incentive fees of approximately $2.3 million, or $0.16 per share, as of December 31, 2025, plus first quarter 2026 incentive fees. GECC repurchased and called portions of its GECCO notes and authorized up to $10 million of common share repurchases, while ending 2025 with $5 million of cash, $50 million of undrawn revolver capacity, and about $11 million of liquid exchange‑traded assets.
Great Elm Capital Corp. is redeeming $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Notes due 2026 on March 31, 2026. Holders will receive 100% of principal, or $25.00 per Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the redemption date.
Interest from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 will be paid on March 31, 2026 to holders of record as of March 15, 2026, so the company does not expect additional accrued interest outstanding on the redemption date. After redemption, interest on the redeemed Notes will cease to accrue and holders’ remaining right will be payment of the redemption price upon surrender.
