(\u201cBC Partners\u201d), announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which ICMB will merge with BCIC, subject to approval by ICMB stockholders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The transaction has been unanimously approved by ICMB\u2019s Board of Directors, following the recommendation of the independent Special Committee. Both the Special Committee and ICMB\u2019s Board of Directors recommend that ICMB stockholders vote in favor of the proposed merger.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Management Commentary<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of BCIC,<\/strong> stated, \u201cThis transaction marks another step in executing our vision of driving consolidation across the BDC sector. We have long believed that greater scale can deliver meaningful benefits, and the combination of ICMB and BCIC is expected to generate immediate cost synergies, lower financing costs and improved trading liquidity. We believe these benefits will position the combined company to deliver stronger long-term value for stockholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Suhail A. Shaikh, President and Chief Executive Officer of ICMB<\/strong> stated, \u201cThis transaction reflects ICMB\u2019s longstanding commitment to pursuing optimal returns for our stockholders. We believe the combination with BCIC positions the Company to deliver long-term value for stockholders. ICMB\u2019s size and scale have been challenging to navigate in current market conditions. We believe that a combination with BCIC provides our stockholders the benefits of scale and access that Sierra Crest brings in the private credit market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Thomas J. Sullivan, Chair of the Special Committee, added: <\/strong>\u201cThis transaction is the result of an intentional, considered strategic review process to identify the right partner to support ICMB in the next stage of its journey. Our decision to merge with BCIC, under Sierra Crest\u2019s management, represents an opportunity for greater flexibility over the long term in this late-stage credit cycle. We are pleased to partner on behalf of our stockholders, and we look forward to delivering updates on our progress in future announcements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Transaction Highlights<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Stockholders should expect to realize net investment income per share accretion following the closing of the transaction;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">The transaction is expected to deliver operational synergies for the combined company from the larger pro forma scale and the elimination of redundant ICMB public company related expenses;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Significant stockholders of ICMB, including certain director and executive officers, have entered into key stockholder agreements with BCIC and agreed to vote their ICMB shares in favor of the transaction, representing approximately 41% of ICMB\u2019s shares outstanding as of November 9, 2026; and<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Following the transaction, current ICMB stockholders are expected to own up to approximately 16.7% of the combined company.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">Under the terms of the agreement, ICMB stockholders will receive aggregate consideration equal to 90% of ICMB\u2019s net asset value at closing, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, repayment of ICMB\u2019s outstanding debt and certain tax-related items. The consideration will be paid in BCIC shares, valued at 100% of BCIC\u2019s net asset value per share at closing, with the number of shares issued capped at 19.99% of BCIC\u2019s common stock outstanding at signing. Any remaining consideration will be paid in cash.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Based on respective net asset values for ICMB ($2.76 per share) and BCIC ($13.00 per share) (both based on September 30, 2026 net asset value per share adjusted for currently estimated transaction expenses), the merger transaction currently values ICMB shares at approximately $2.49 per share, which represents 90% of ICMB\u2019s net asset value, adjusted for estimated transaction expenses. Using BCIC\u2019s closing price of $6.57 on November 9, 2026, the merger transaction currently values ICMB shares at approximately $1.38 per share, which represents approximately 126% premium to ICMB\u2019s closing price of $0.61 on November 9, 2026.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In addition to approval by ICMB stockholders, the closing of the merger is subject to customary conditions.
