A portion of the net proceeds from Main Street's offering, including the net proceeds from exercise of the over-allotment option, will be utilized to access incremental leverage available through the Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") program pursuant to the relevant provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Stimulus Bill"). Based upon the $16.3 million in total net proceeds from the recent offering and existing cash and idle funds investments, Main Street estimates that it has the required capitalization to access over $50 million of additional SBIC leverage available pursuant to the provisions of the Stimulus Bill.
