Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from STELLUS CAPITAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION (SCM) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow SCM and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full SCM filings page.
Stellus Capital Investment Corporation is calling a virtual 2026 annual meeting on June 16, 2026 to elect one director, approve a new investment advisory agreement, and allow potential adjournment to solicit more proxies. The new agreement is needed because Ridgepost Capital, LLC will acquire all equity in Stellus Capital Management, creating an adviser change in control that terminates the current contract under the 1940 Act.
The New Investment Advisory Agreement keeps fees, services, strategy and management effectively unchanged, differing only in date and term. The board, including all independent directors, unanimously recommends voting in favor of the director nominee and the new advisory agreement, and believes the Ridgepost transaction will add sourcing, capital-raising and operational resources without altering the fund’s investment objectives.
