Monitor the reconvened annual meeting on September 1, 2026 for the outcome. Passage keeps the equity-issuance tool available, supporting growth and leverage management. Failure could limit future capital-raising ability, potentially increasing reliance on debt. With 89% of votes cast in favor, turnout is the key variable — low participation could defeat the proposal.

Executive Summary
Capital Southwest Corporation filed additional definitive proxy materials urging shareholders to vote FOR a proposal to increase authorized common shares from 75.0M to 135.0M at the reconvened annual meeting on September 1, 2026. As of August 3, 2026, approximately 89% of votes cast were in favor, but Texas law requires a two-thirds majority of all outstanding shares, making voter turnout critical. The board, ISS, and Glass Lewis all recommend approval; the company states it has no immediate capital need but seeks flexibility to support future growth.
