Summary of Key Transaction Terms Management Agreement Payment to Stockholders Ongoing Equity Investment by Manager Additional Support from Manager Board of Directors BCP Credit will continue to be the investment manager of the combined company through the currently in place investment advisory agreement OHAI stockholders will receive a direct cash payment from BC Partners or its affiliate Cash payment expected to be $0.15 per share of OHAI common stock BCP Credit previously agreed to contribute all incentive fees actually paid for the first two years following the KCAP externalization to purchase newly-issued PTMN common stock at NAV (subject to an aggregate purchase cap of $10 million) As previously agreed to in connection with the KCAP externalization transaction, PTMN’s investment adviser will forego up to the full amount of the incentive fees earned by it in order to maintain a base level of NII for a 12 month period beginning the first day of the first quarter following the quarter in which BCP Credit became the manager of Portman Ridge No change is expected to the board composition, with the current board (composed of two ex-KCAP board members to ensure continuity, independents and two members from BC Partners) continuing its tenure Company Buyback Program Additionally, if the combined entity were to trade below 75% of NAV in the 12 months following the effective date of the transaction with OHAI, PTMN will implement a buyback program for up to $10 million

Views expressed are those of BCP Credit. 1 Anticipated portfolio construction provided for illustrative purposes only. BC Partners Differentiators While the increasing popularity of direct lending has gathered many headlines as of late, we believe the BC Partners Credit platform is differentiated on six key aspects Disciplined approach to fund size allows us to pursue the best risk-adjusted return opportunities Direct lending platforms may pass on compelling opportunities that may be too small to “move the needle” 5 Ability to serve as a strategic lender by sharing best practices from BC Partners’ private equity operations team and existing portfolio companies Stand-alone credit platforms cannot offer the same resources to borrowers as fully integrated firms 1 BC Partners Lending Platform has the capabilities to source and diligence opportunities regardless of company ownership A majority of direct lending platforms focus on sponsor-backed lending opportunities 3 Access to BC Partners broader resources including relationships and institutional knowledge from over 30 years of private market investing provides an edge in sourcing and diligence Stand-alone credit platforms do not benefit from knowledge sharing and idea generation across teams 4 Focus on portfolio company EBITDA of less than $50 million1 Many direct lending platforms have moved upmarket as the asset class has matured 2

Important Information Please be advised that the information presented in this Presentation is provided for illustrative purposes only and are intended to provide insight into the investment experience of the Manager and are not representative of the number and types of opportunities that will be available to PTMN, the opportunities that the Manager will consider suitable for investment by PTMN or the investments that will be made by PTMN, and it should not be assumed that PTMN will make comparable investments or that the Manager will be successful in identifying any investment opportunities similar to the hypothetical opportunities set forth in this Presentation in the future or otherwise be able to implement the PTMN’s investment strategy or avoid substantial losses. The actual investment portfolio of the PTMN may differ materially in terms of diversity, concentration and asset class, among other factors, from the allocations, strategies and themes provided in this Presentation. Moreover, the actual investments made by PTMN will be made under market conditions that cannot be anticipated with any certainty and there is no guarantee that if PTMN had been advised by the Manager during the period referenced, PTMN would have invested in any such opportunities or, if PTMN had made any such investments, that such investments would have been successful. Prior Track Record The Presentation describes two business development companies (“BDCs”) which were overseen by Ted Goldthorpe while employed at Apollo Global Management (“Apollo”), namely, Apollo Investment Corporation (“AINV”) and CION Investment Corporation (“CION”). During the period from February 2012 to August 2016, Mr. Goldthorpe served as President and Chief Investment Officer of AINV and as Chief Investment Officer of Apollo Investment Management which acted as the investment sub-advisor to CION, assisting in the process of identifying and recommending investment opportunities. In these capacities, Mr. Goldthorpe oversaw the investment activities of both AINV and CION. There can be no assurance that PTMN will be able to make similar investments, employ a similar investment strategy or achieve similar results as AINV or CION. While Mr. Goldthorpe was primarily responsible for overseeing the investment activities of AINV and CION during his employment at Apollo, other personnel (including those with senior responsibilities) of Apollo were also involved in such activities. In respect of CION, all investment recommendations made by Apollo Investment Management were subject to the approval of the investment Advisor of CION. Accordingly, stockholders should be aware that the Manager will not be comprised of all investment professionals of the investment teams at Apollo that were involved with AINV and CION, and that the characteristics of AINV and CION, and the market conditions under which they were operated, differed in certain respects from those applicable to PTMN.
