Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial

"maintains a “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” (“DRIP”)"

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

spillover income financial

"results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook"

Spillover income is money a business earns indirectly from its main activities, like fees, royalties, sales of related products, or revenue from partners that benefit from the company’s core operations. It matters to investors because it can boost total revenue, smooth out ups and downs in the main business, and indicate scalability—like a restaurant that rents out its unused kitchen for extra income, providing added stability and growth potential without changing its main product.

taxable income financial

"estimates of taxable income available for distribution"

Taxable income is the portion of an individual’s or company’s income that remains after legally allowed deductions and exemptions and that the tax authority uses to calculate how much tax is owed. For investors it matters because it determines the actual tax bill that reduces an individual’s after-tax returns and a company’s net profit available for dividends, reinvestment, or valuation — like the amount left after the government’s share is taken out.

Exhibit 99.1

Horizon Technology Finance Announces Monthly Distributions for January, February and March 2027 Totaling $0.18 per Share

Farmington, Connecticut – November 5, 2026 – Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“Horizon”) (the “Company”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital, announced today that its board of directors has declared monthly cash distributions of $0.06 per share, payable in each of January, February and March 2027. The following table shows these distributions, payable as set forth in the table below, total $0.18 per share. Since its 2010 initial public offering, Horizon has paid a total of $401 million in distributions to its shareholders.

Monthly Distributions Payable in First Quarter 2027

Ex-Dividend Date	Record Date	Payment Date	​	Amount per Share		​
December 16, 2026	December 16, 2026	January 15, 2027	​		$0.06	​
January 19, 2027	January 19, 2027	February 17, 2027	​		$0.06	​
February 18, 2027	February 18, 2027	March 16, 2027	​		$0.06	​
​	​	Total:	​		$0.18	​

The Company’s board of directors (“Board”) sets the level of distributions for each quarter based on its results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook, including expected operating results for the current fiscal year.

When declaring distributions, Horizon’s Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.

Horizon maintains a “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive distributions in cash. As a result, if Horizon declares a distribution, its stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the distribution record date will have their distribution automatically reinvested into additional shares of Horizon’s common stock. Horizon has the option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly-issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of Horizon’s common stock on a specified valuation date for each distribution as determined by Horizon’s Board. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs, which are borne by Horizon.
