Capital Southwest Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “CSWC,” or the “Company”), a Texas corporation, is an internally managed closed-end, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. Because CSWC is internally managed, all of the executive officers and other employees are employed by CSWC. Therefore, CSWC does not pay any external investment advisory fees, but instead directly incurs the operating costs associated with employing investment and portfolio management professionals.6 From its latest annual report

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORP names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed May 19, 2026: 68 risks under these headings, as written.6
- RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND STRUCTURE
- Our financial condition and results of operations will depend on our ability to effectively allocate and manage capital.
- Any unrealized losses we experience may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available to make distributions.
- Our business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships. Our inability to develop or maintain these relationships, as well as the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.
- All of our assets are subject to security interests under our Corporate Credit Facility and our SPV Credit Facility, except for assets held by the SBIC Subsidiaries, and if we default on our obligations under the Corporate Credit Facility or the SPV Credit Facility, we may suffer adverse consequences, including foreclosure on our assets.
- In addition to regulatory limitations on our ability to raise capital, our current debt obligations contain various covenants that, if not complied with, could accelerate our repayment obligations under the Corporate Credit Facility and/or the SPV Credit Facility, and thereby materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions.
- Because we borrow money to make investments, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us is magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.
- Assumed Return on Our Portfolio(1)
- (net of expenses)
- If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could fail to qualify as a BDC or be precluded from investing according to our current business strategy.
- A failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC would significantly reduce our operating flexibility.
- We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax imposed at corporate rates on our earnings if we are unable to qualify as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code.
The other 59 risks
- Even if the Company qualifies as a RIC, it may face tax liabilities that reduce its cash flow.
- Our portfolio investments generally are not publicly traded. As a result, the fair value of these investments may not be readily determinable and will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors. As a result, there may be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.
- We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. An extended disruption in the capital markets and the credit markets could negatively affect our business.
- Inflation may adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies, which may, in turn, impact the valuation of such portfolio companies.
- Political, social and economic uncertainty creates and exacerbates risks.
- Changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on the operations of our portfolio companies and, in turn, negatively impact us.
- Climate change and related transition and physical risks could adversely affect our operations and those of our portfolio companies and increase costs (including insurance costs).
- Environmental, social and governance factors may adversely affect our business or cause us to alter our business strategy.
- Downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, automatic spending cuts, or another government shutdown could negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Our business is dependent on bank relationships and any strain on the banking system may adversely impact us.
- Changes in the laws or regulations governing our business or the operations of our portfolio companies, changes in the interpretations thereof or of newly enacted laws or regulations, and any failure by us to comply with these laws or regulations could require changes to certain business practices of us or our portfolio companies, negatively affect the profitability of the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us or our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.
- We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.
- Our success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel in a competitive environment.
- Our asset coverage requirement is 150%, which could increase the risk of investing in the Company.
- We expend significant financial and other resources to comply with the requirements of being a public company.
- Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.
- Regulations governing our operation as a BDC will affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.
- Each SBIC Subsidiary has an SBIC license and is subject to SBA regulations, and any failure to comply with SBA regulations could have an adverse effect on our operations.
- Shareholders may incur dilution if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current NAV per share of our common stock or issue securities that are convertible to shares of our common stock.
- Illustration: Example of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV.
- Legislative or other actions relating to taxes could have a negative effect on us.
- We are highly dependent on information systems and operational risks including systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operating results and negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.
- A failure of cybersecurity systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated in our disaster recovery systems and management continuity planning, could impair our ability to conduct business effectively.
- We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence.
- Terrorist attacks, acts of war or natural disasters may affect any market for our common stock, impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
- Our business and operations may be negatively affected if we become subject to securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our investment strategy and impact our stock price.
- RISKS RELATED TO OUR INVESTMENTS
- Our investments in portfolio companies involve a number of significant risks.
- We are subject to risks associated with our investments in senior loans.
- The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
- Defaults by our portfolio companies could harm our operating results.
- We may not realize gains from our equity investments.
- Prepayments of our debt investments by our portfolio companies could adversely impact our results of operations and reduce our return on equity.
- The loans we make in portfolio companies may become non-performing.
- We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.
- There may be circumstances in which our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.
- As a RIC, we may have certain regulatory restrictions that could preclude us from making additional investments in our portfolio companies.
- We generally will not control our portfolio companies.
- Second priority liens on collateral securing loans that we make to our portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. Further, in cases where we invest in unsecured subordinated debt, we would not have any lien on the collateral. In each of these cases, if there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.
- Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in those companies.
- We may be subject to risks associated with co-investments alongside our joint venture.
- Changes in healthcare laws and other regulations, or the enforcement or interpretation of such laws or regulations, applicable to some of our portfolio companies’ businesses may constrain their ability to offer their products and services.
- We may be subject to risks associated with our investments in the business services industry.
- RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
- The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
- Investing in shares of our common stock may involve an above average degree of risk.
- Shares of closed-end investment companies, including BDCs, may trade at a discount to their NAV.
- The Notes are unsecured and therefore are effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our Corporate Credit Facility.
- The Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, including the SBA-guaranteed debentures and the SPV Credit Facility.
- The respective indentures under which the 2029 Convertible Notes and the September 2030 Notes were issued contain limited protection for holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes and the September 2030 Notes.
- We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2029 Convertible Notes in cash or to repurchase the 2029 Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the 2029 Convertible Notes.
- The Corporate Credit Facility may limit our ability to pay any cash amount upon the conversion or repayment of the 2029 Convertible Notes.
- We may not be able to repurchase the September 2030 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
- Conversion of the 2029 Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
- While a trading market developed after issuing the 2029 Convertible Notes and the September 2030 Notes, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for the 2029 Convertible Notes and the September 2030 Notes will be maintained.
- If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Notes.
- Terms relating to redemption may materially adversely affect the return on our debt securities.
- We currently intend to pay quarterly dividends. However, in the future we may not pay any dividends depending on a variety of factors.
- We currently pay dividends in cash. However, in the future we may choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash you receive.
- We may not be able to invest a significant portion of the net proceeds from future capital raises on acceptable terms, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
- Provisions of Texas law and our charter could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
Legal proceedings
We and our subsidiaries may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. As of the date hereof, we and our subsidiaries are not a party to, and none of our assets are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings and are not aware of any claims that could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
