Harvest Capital Credit Corporation Declares Dividends for January, February and March

Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HCAP) announced that its Board of Directors has declared dividends of $0.095 per share for the months of January, February and March 2018. The January dividend is payable on February 28, 2018 to shareholders of record on February 21, 2018. The February dividend is payable on March 27, 2018 to shareholders of record on March 20, 2018. The March dividend is payable on April 26, 2018 to shareholders of record on April 19, 2018. The Company’s distributions may include a return of capital to shareholders to the extent that the Company’s net investment income and net capital gains are insufficient to support the distributions. Distributions that are treated for tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce each shareholder’s basis in his, her or its shares. Returns of shareholder capital also have the effect of reducing the Company’s assets.

"Our board of directors decided to lower our monthly dividend from $0.1125 per share to $0.095 per share due to the continuation of a very competitive investment environment,” declared Richard P. Buckanavage, President and CEO. “After two years of increasing competition for debt investments to lower and middle market companies, we had hoped that 2018 would offer a more friendly environment but early indications in 2018 lead us to believe that this year will offer more of the same,” observed Mr. Buckanavage. “Instead of reaching for yield to support the previous dividend level or compromising our underwriting standards, we have chosen to lower the dividend to what we believe to be a sustainable level in light of expected pressure on our overall portfolio yield and slower than expected portfolio growth,” concluded Mr. Buckanavage.
