In addition, the Company announced today that Gregg Felton has been named Chief Executive Officer, while John Stuart will maintain his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

“The ongoing transformation of our investment and portfolio strategy to include Gregg’s areas of investment experience and expertise has made his appointment as CEO the logical next step in that process,” said John Stuart, Chairman of Full Circle Capital Corporation. “Gregg has played a vital role in our continuing efforts to develop a greater breadth of investment opportunities as evidenced by our portfolio growth and composition over the past year.”

“I look forward to continuing to work closely with John and our expanded investment team as we position ourselves for long-term growth,” said Gregg Felton, President and CEO of Full Circle Capital Corporation. “While our recent performance has been disappointing, we believe that our aggressive efforts to exit or restructure our legacy positions will enable us to take advantage of current market opportunities. With the recent back-up in the middle market corporate credit markets, we have seen a significant increase in transaction opportunities that fit within our return and risk parameters. We believe this market environment will allow us to continue to execute on our broadened investment strategies while providing greater portfolio diversification. These key elements are central to our efforts to improve and produce sustainable returns to our stockholders.”
