AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 NOTE 1— NATURE OF OPERATIONS Neostellar Capital Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Neostellar Capital”), formerly known as SuRo Capital Corp., Sutter Rock Capital Corp. and GSV Capital Corp., was formed in September 2010 as a Maryland corporation. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s date of inception was January 6, 2011, which is the date it commenced development stage activities. The Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NSLR” (formerly “SSSS” and, prior to that, “GSVC”). The Company began its investment operations during the second quarter of 2011. Effective July 15, 2026, in connection with the Externalization, the Company became externally managed by Neostellar Advisors LLC. See “Note 12—Subsequent Events—Externalization.” The table below displays the Company’s subsidiaries as of June 30, 2026, which, other than GSV Capital Lending, LLC (“GCL”), SuRo Capital Sports, LLC, 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP, and SRCI Advisors, LLC, are collectively referred to as the “Taxable Subsidiaries.” The Taxable Subsidiaries were formed to hold certain portfolio investments. The Taxable Subsidiaries, including their associated portfolio investments, are consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, but have elected to be treated as separate corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Basis of Consolidation ” below for further detail.

(“SVDS”) Delaware August 13, 2013 100 % The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on its equity and equity-related investments, and to a lesser extent, income from debt investments. The Company invests principally in the equity securities of what it believes to be rapidly growing venture capital-backed emerging companies. The Company may invest in these portfolio companies through direct offerings of the prospective portfolio companies, transactions on secondary marketplaces for private companies, negotiations with selling stockholders, investment funds, or through SPVs and other investment funds for the purpose of investing in securities of a single private issuer. In addition, the Company may invest in private credit and in founders equity, founders warrants, and private investment in public equity transactions of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The Company may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria, subject to any applicable limitations under the 1940 Act. 15 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 NOTE 2— SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is an investment company following the specialized accounting and reporting guidance specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, were considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period and have been included. Basis of Consolidation Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services and benefits to the Company, and certain entities established for tax purposes where the Company holds a 100% interest. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of the Taxable Subsidiaries, GCL, SuRo Capital Sports, 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP, and SRCI Advisors, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiaries. GCL was formed to originate portfolio loan investments within the state of California. SuRo Capital Sports was formed to focus on investing in the sports betting sector. 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP is a SPV in which Neostellar Capital holds the sole limited partnership interest and was formed to invest in the Common Shares of Plaid, Inc. SRCI Advisors, LLC was formed to provide investment management services to third parties; as of June 30, 2026, SRCI Advisors, LLC has not commenced operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company also consolidates entities that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses or a right to receive benefits from the entity. The Company determined that 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP is consolidated by the Company. Segments Neostellar Capital has determined that it has a single operating segment in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company operates as a single segment with a principal investment objective to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related investments, and to a lesser extent, income from debt investments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Investment Committee collectively perform the function that allocates resources and assesses performance, and thus together, serve as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). Among other metrics, the CODM uses Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations as a primary GAAP profit or loss metric used in making operating decisions, which can be found on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations along with significant expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as total assets. Use of Estimates The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ materially from such estimates. 16 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Uncertainties and Risk Factors The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties in the nature of its operations, as well as vulnerability due to certain concentrations. Refer to “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the nature of the Company’s operations. Refer to “Note 4—Investments at Fair Value” for an overview of the Company’s industry and geographic concentrations. Investments at Fair Value The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP and the AICPA’s Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 —Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. The majority of the Company’s investments are Level 3 investments and are subject to a high degree of judgment and uncertainty in determining fair value. When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table set forth in “Note 4—Investments at Fair Value” may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the measurement period in which the reclassifications occur. Refer to “Leveling Policy” below for a detailed discussion of the leveling of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities and events that may cause a reclassification within the fair value hierarchy. 17 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the most recently available closing price of such security as of the valuation date. If there are legal or contractual restrictions on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35, as modified by ASU 2022-03, should be incorporated into the security’s fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security, the Company will consider those restrictions in the fair value determination of that security. Contractual sale restrictions on the sale or use of a security which are an entity-specific characteristic, rather than a security-specific characteristic (as discussed in ASU 2022-03), are not considered in the fair value determinations for such securities. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services, brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology, or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of management, the Company’s Board of Directors or the valuation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Valuation Committee”), does not reliably represent fair value, shall each be valued as follows: 1. The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the internal investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; 2. Preliminary valuation estimates are then documented and discussed with senior management; 3. For all investments for which there are no readily available market quotations, the Valuation Committee engages an independent third-party valuation firm to conduct independent appraisals, review management’s preliminary valuations and make its own independent assessment; 4. The Valuation Committee applies the appropriate valuation methodology to each portfolio asset in a consistent manner, considers the inputs provided by management and the independent third-party valuation firm, discusses the valuations and recommends to the Company’s Board of Directors a fair value for each investment in the portfolio; and 5. The Company’s Board of Directors then discusses the valuations recommended by the Valuation Committee and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In making a good faith determination of the fair value of investments, the Board of Directors applies valuation methodologies consistent with industry practice. Valuation methods utilized include, but are not limited to, the following: comparisons to prices from secondary market transactions; venture capital financings; public offerings; purchase or sale transactions; analysis of financial ratios and valuation metrics of portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public; analysis of the portfolio company’s most recent financial statements, forecasts and the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. The Company assigns a weighting based upon the relevance of each method to assist the Board of Directors in determining the fair value of each investment. For investments that are not publicly traded or that do not have readily available market quotations, the Valuation Committee generally engages an independent valuation firm to provide an independent valuation, which the Company’s Board of Directors considers, among other factors, in making its fair value determinations for these investments. For the current and prior fiscal year, the Valuation Committee engaged an independent valuation firm to perform valuations of 100% of the Company’s investments for which there were no readily available market quotations. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 18 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Equity Investments Equity investments for which market quotations are readily available in an active market are generally valued at the most recently available closing market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. Equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject to sales restrictions due to an initial public offering (“IPO”) by the portfolio company will be classified as Level 1. Any other equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject to sales restrictions that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security may be valued at a discount for a lack of marketability (“DLOM”) to the most recently available closing market prices. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 assets. The DLOM used is generally based upon the market value of publicly traded put options with similar terms. For equity securities with readily available market quotations that are subject to entity-specific contractual sale restrictions, rather than security-specific contractual sale restrictions, if such entity-specific contractual sale restrictions first applied or were modified on or after December 15, 2023, the restrictions are not considered in the determination of fair value for that security. The fair values of the Company’s equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available are determined based on various factors and are classified as Level 3 assets. To determine the fair value of a portfolio company for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board of Directors applies the appropriate respective valuation methodology for the asset class or portfolio holding, which may involve analyzing the relevant portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results, public market comparables, and other factors. The Board of Directors may also consider other events, including the transaction in which the Company acquired its securities, subsequent equity sales by the portfolio company, and mergers or acquisitions affecting the portfolio company. In addition, the Board of Directors may consider the trends of the portfolio company’s basic financial metrics from the time of its original investment until the measurement date, with material improvement of these metrics indicating a possible increase in fair value, while material deterioration of these metrics may indicate a possible reduction in fair value. In determining the fair value of equity or equity-linked securities (including simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) notes and warrants to purchase common or preferred stock) in a portfolio company, the Board of Directors considers the rights, preferences and limitations of such securities. When equity-linked securities expire worthless, any cost associated with these positions is recognized as a realized loss on investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In the event these securities are exercised into common or preferred stock, the cost associated with these securities is reassigned to the cost basis of the new common or preferred stock. These conversions are noted as non-cash operating items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Debt Investments Given the nature of the Company’s current debt investments (excluding U.S. Treasuries), which are principally convertible and promissory notes issued by venture capital-backed portfolio companies, these investments are classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company’s debt investments are valued at estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. Options The Company’s Board of Directors determines the fair value of options based on methodologies that can include discounted cash flow analyses, option pricing models, comparable analyses and other techniques as deemed appropriate. If the options are publicly traded, in accordance with our leveling policy, the Company prices the options at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date. All other options investments are generally classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company’s options are valued at estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. 19 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Investments in SPVs and Fund Structures The Company invests through SPVs and Fund structures, which may hold either a single underlying investment or a portfolio of underlying investments. The Company’s interest in these structures is generally proportionate to its capital contributions, and distributions from the underlying investment(s) are made in accordance with that ownership. These investments are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments. If available, the Company may utilize the NAV of an SPV or Fund to substantiate its fair value determination. SPVs and Fund structures may incur fees, expenses, or tax liabilities associated with their underlying investments, which can impact the fair value of the Company’s interest. Additionally, these investments may be subject to restrictions on redemption, transfer, or sale. For certain Fund structures, including those in which fair value is not readily determinable, the Company may apply the practical expedient provided under ASC Topic 820 for entities that calculate net asset value (“NAV”) per share or its equivalent, using NAV as a practical measure of fair value without adjustment. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies The Company’s Board of Directors measures its SPAC sponsor investments at fair value, which is equivalent to cost until a SPAC transaction is announced. After a SPAC transaction is announced, the Company’s Board of Directors will determine the fair value of SPAC investments based on fair value analyses that can include option pricing models, probability-weighted expected return method analyses, and other techniques as deemed appropriate. Upon completion of the SPAC transaction, the Board of Directors utilizes the public share price of the entity, less a DLOM if there are security-specific contractual sale restrictions, or the shares or warrants are confirmed unregistered. The Company’s SPAC investments are valued at estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. Portfolio Company Investment Classification The Company is a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company classifies its investments by level of control. “Control investments” are investments in companies that the Company is presumed to control under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of a company is presumed to control such company. “Affiliate investments” are investments in companies that are “affiliated persons” of the Company under Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “affiliated person” includes any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5% or more, but not more than 25%, of the outstanding voting securities of such company. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 for details regarding the nature and composition of the Company’s investment portfolio. Leveling Policy The portfolio companies in which the Company invests may offer their shares in IPOs. The Company’s shares in such portfolio companies are typically subject to lock-up agreements for 180 days following the IPO. Upon the IPO date, the Company transfers its investment from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the presence of an active market, or Level 2 if limited by the lock-up agreement. The Company prices the investment at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date. In situations where there are legal or contractual restrictions on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35 (as modified by ASU 2022-03) should be incorporated into the security’s fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security, the Company will classify the investment as Level 2 subject to an appropriate DLOM to reflect the restrictions upon sale. The Company transfers investments between levels based on the fair value at the beginning of the measurement period in accordance with FASB ASC 820. For investments transferred out of Level 3 due to an IPO, the Company transfers these investments based on their fair value at the IPO date. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the transaction for the purchase or sale of the securities is entered into by the Company ( i.e. , the trade date). Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. Valuation of Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s other, non-investment financial instruments, consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. 20 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Cash The Company custodies its cash with Western Alliance Trust Company, N.A., and may place cash in demand deposit accounts with other high-quality financial institutions. The cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company believes the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balance is remote. Escrow Proceeds Receivable A portion of the proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments is held in escrow as a recourse for indemnity claims that may arise under the sale agreement or other related transaction contingencies. Amounts held in escrow are held at estimated realizable value and included in net realized gains/(losses) on investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in which they occurred and are adjusted as needed. Any remaining escrow proceeds balances from these transactions reasonably expected to be received are reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as escrow proceeds receivable. Escrow proceeds receivable resulting from contingent consideration are to be recognized when the amount of the contingent consideration becomes realized or realizable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no escrow proceeds receivable. Restricted Cash Restricted Cash consists of amounts that are held in a separate account and are subject to specific contractual restrictions that limit their availability for general corporate use. These funds are not readily available for use in the Company’s general operations and are segregated from unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Deferred Financing Costs The Company records fees and expenses incurred in connection with financing or capital raising activities relating to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form N-2 as deferred financing costs. The Company also incurred additional offering costs in connection with its 6.00 % Notes due 2026. The Company defers these offering costs until capital is raised pursuant to the shelf registration statement or as the shelf registration statement expires. For equity capital raised, the offering costs reduce paid-in capital resulting from the offering. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the respective life of the financing instrument. For modifications to a financing instrument, any unamortized origination costs are expensed. The Company records fees and expenses incurred in connection with debt capital raises as deferred debt issuance costs. Such costs are reflected in the carrying value of the related debt instrument, and not the Company’s deferred financing costs. For debt capital raised, the associated offering costs are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the life of the debt instrument. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred financing costs of $ 578,102 and $ 508,310 , respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Operating Leases & Related Deposits The Company accounts for its operating leases as prescribed by ASC 842, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a corresponding lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The lease expense is presented as a single lease cost that is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Non-lease components (maintenance, property tax, insurance and parking) are not included in the lease cost. The Company has recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for the operating lease obligation. These amounts have been discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. Refer to “Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies— Operating Leases and Related Deposits ” for further detail. Stock-based Compensation Using the fair value recognition provisions as prescribed by ASC 718, Stock Compensation , stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Refer to “Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation” for further detail. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of investments using the specific identification method. The Company recognizes interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. The Company recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Investment Transaction Costs and Escrow Deposits Commissions and other costs associated with an investment transaction, including legal expenses not reimbursed by the portfolio company, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales. The Company makes certain acquisitions on secondary markets, which may involve making deposits to escrow accounts until certain conditions are met, including the underlying private company’s right of first refusal. If the underlying private company does not exercise or assign its right of first refusal and all other conditions are met, then the funds in the escrow account are delivered to the seller and the account is closed. Such transactions would be reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as escrow deposits. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no escrow deposits. Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Investments Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment. U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes The Company elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), including payment-in-kind interest income, as defined by the Code, and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of its gross tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”). Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward into the next tax year ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions. Any such carryforward ICTI must be distributed on or before December 31 of the subsequent tax year to which it was carried forward. If the Company meets the Annual Distribution Requirement, but does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year a sum of (1) 98% of its net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years (the “Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement”), it generally will be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will exceed estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company will accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income. 22 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 So long as the Company qualifies and maintains its tax treatment as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the RIC will represent obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Taxable Subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax imposed at corporate rates on their income, regardless of whether the Company is a RIC. These Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expenses as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. Such income tax expenses and deferred taxes, if any, will be reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. If it is not treated as a RIC, the Company will be taxed as a regular corporation (a “C Corporation”) under Subchapter C of the Code for such taxable year. If the Company has previously qualified as a RIC but is subsequently unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, and certain amelioration provisions are not applicable, the Company would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income (including its net capital gains) at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would it be required to make distributions. Distributions, including distributions of net long-term capital gain, would generally be taxable to its stockholders as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate stockholders would be eligible to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to such dividend; non-corporate stockholders would generally be able to treat such dividends as “qualified dividend income,” which is subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income tax. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. In order to requalify as a RIC, in addition to the other requirements discussed above, the Company would be required to distribute all of its previously undistributed earnings attributable to the period it failed to qualify as a RIC by the end of the first year that it intends to requalify for tax treatment as a RIC. If the Company fails to requalify for tax treatment as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, it may be subject to regular corporate tax on any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Company had been liquidated) that it elects to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five years. Refer to “Note 9—Income Taxes” for further details. Per Share Information Net change in net assets resulting from operations per basic common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted net change in net assets resulting from operations per common share is computed by dividing net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the period adjusted to include the pre-tax effects of interest incurred on potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. When applicable, the Company uses the if-converted method in accordance with FASB ASC 260 , Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Refer to “Note 6—Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations per Common Share—Basic and Diluted” for further detail. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, which amends ASC 470-20 to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. However, adoption did not have any material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 23 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” ASU 2023-06 amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification including requiring investment companies to disclose the components of capital on the balance sheet. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date which the SEC’s removal of related disclosures from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K become effective, but no later than June 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance. However, it does not expect ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on the Company’s future Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of the new guidance. However, it does not expect ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on the Company’s future Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810) - Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity”, which requires an entity to determine the accounting acquirer by considering the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is still assessing the impact of the new guidance. However, it does not expect ASU 2025-03 to have a material impact on the Company’s future Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards and any that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. NOTE 3— RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS The Company’s executive officers and directors serve or may serve as officers, directors, or managers of entities that operate in a line of business similar to the Company’s, including new entities that may be formed in the future. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of the Company or the Company’s stockholders. The 1940 Act prohibits the Company from participating in certain negotiated co-investments with certain affiliates unless it receives an order from the SEC permitting it to do so. As a BDC, the Company is prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, including its independent directors, and, in some cases, the SEC. The affiliates with which the Company may be prohibited from transacting include its officers, directors, and employees and any person controlling or under common control with the Company, subject to certain exceptions. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related-party transactions. To ensure that the Company does not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with the Company, the Company has implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby the Company’s executive officers screen each of the Company’s transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, the Company, companies controlled by the Company, and the Company’s executive officers and directors. The Company’s investment in Skillsoft Corp. (f/k/a Software Luxembourg Holding S.A.) (“Skillsoft”) constituted a “remote-affiliate” transaction for purposes of the 1940 Act in light of the fact that Mr. Klein has a non-controlling interest in the entity that controlled Churchill Sponsor II LLC, the sponsor of Churchill Capital Corp. II, a SPAC, and was a non-controlling member of the board of directors of Churchill Capital Corp. II, through which the Company executed a private investment in public equity transaction in order to acquire common shares of Skillsoft alongside the merger of Skillsoft and Churchill Capital Corp II. In addition, Mr. Klein’s brother, Michael Klein, was a control person of such Churchill entities. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s remote-affiliate investment in Skillsoft was $ 254,297 . 24 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Effective July 15, 2026, in connection with the Externalization, the Company became externally managed by Neostellar Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”), which is jointly owned by certain members of the Company’s former management team (including Mr. Klein and Ms. Green) and Magnetar Holdings LLC, and a portion of the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement inures to those persons. On the same date, the Company also entered into an Administration Agreement with Neostellar Administrative Services LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Board of Directors appointed Erik Falk, a Partner and Head of Strategy of Magnetar, as an interested director of the Company. In addition, on July 16, 2026, MCP Investing LLC, an affiliate of Magnetar, purchased a $ 20.0 million redeemable promissory note from the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2026. On August 3, 2026, the Company, the Adviser and certain affiliated funds and accounts filed an application with the SEC for an exemptive order permitting the Company to co-invest in negotiated transactions alongside funds and accounts advised by the Adviser, Magnetar and their affiliates. There can be no assurance if or when such relief will be granted. NOTE 4— INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE Investment Portfolio Composition The Company’s investments in portfolio companies consist primarily of equity securities (such as common stock, preferred stock and options or agreements to purchase or acquire common and preferred stock), and to a lesser extent, debt securities, issued by private and publicly traded companies. The Company may also, from time to time, invest in U.S. Treasury bills. Non-portfolio investments represent investments in U.S. Treasury bills. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 60 positions in 37 portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 60 positions in 35 portfolio companies.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Assets and Liabilities In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , the tables below provide quantitative information about the fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Board of Directors may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets. The tables below are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets. To the extent an unobservable input is not reflected in the tables below, such input is deemed insignificant with respect to the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Significant changes in the inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement, depending on the input and the materiality of the investment. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail.

In considering multiple valuation approaches (and consequently, multiple valuation techniques), the valuation approaches and techniques are not likely to change from one period of measurement to the next; however, the weighting of each in determining the final fair value of a Level 3 investment may change based on recent events or transactions. The hybrid approach may also consider certain risk weightings to account for the uncertainty of future events. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail. (2) The Board of Directors considers all relevant information that can reasonably be obtained when determining the fair value of Level 3 investments. Due to any given portfolio company’s information rights, changes in capital structure, recent events, transactions, or liquidity events, the type and availability of unobservable inputs may change. Increases/(decreases) in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) multiples, time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. Decreases/(increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates, would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. The market approach utilizes market value (revenue and EBIT) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Board of Directors carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. In general, precedent transactions include recent rounds of financing, recent purchases made by the Company, and tender offers. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail. (3) The weighted averages are calculated based on the fair market value of each investment. (4) Preferred Stock also includes the Company’s investment in the Class A Interest of ARK Type One Deep Ventures Fund LLC which is invested in the Series A-2 Preferred Shares of OpenAI Global, LLC, the Company’s investment in the Membership Interest of IH10, LLC which is invested in the Series B Preferred Shares of VAST Data, Ltd. through an SPV, and the Company’s investment in the Class A Interest and Class B Interest of Magnetar Opportunity 2025-4 LP which is invested in the Series B Preferred Shares of TensorWave, Inc. (5) Common Stock in Private Portfolio Companies also includes the Company’s Limited Partner Fund Investment in True Global Ventures 4 Plus Pte Ltd. and the Company’s investment in the Class A Interest of CW Opportunity 2 LP which is invested in the Class A Common Stock of CoreWeave, Inc.

In considering multiple valuation approaches (and consequently, multiple valuation techniques), the valuation approaches and techniques are not likely to change from one period of measurement to the next; however, the weighting of each in determining the final fair value of a Level 3 investment may change based on recent events or transactions. The hybrid approach may also consider certain risk weightings to account for the uncertainty of future events. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail. (2) The Board of Directors considers all relevant information that can reasonably be obtained when determining the fair value of Level 3 investments. Due to any given portfolio company’s information rights, changes in capital structure, recent events, transactions, or liquidity events, the type and availability of unobservable inputs may change. Increases/(decreases) in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) multiples, time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. Decreases/(increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates, would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. The market approach utilizes market value (revenue and EBIT) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Board of Directors carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. In general, precedent transactions include recent rounds of financing, recent purchases made by the Company, and tender offers. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail. (3) The weighted averages are calculated based on the fair market value of each investment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , the annualization of these ratios excludes the effect of approximately $ 20.0 million of accelerated and non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the Externalization. Because the ratios are calculated for the Company’s common stock taken as a whole, an individual investor’s ratios may vary from these ratios. 38 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 NOTE 9— INCOME TAXES The Company elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of taxable income (including gains) timely distributed as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to stockholders. Taxable income includes the Company’s taxable interest, dividend and fee income, reduced by certain deductions, as well as taxable net realized investment gains. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as such gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. To qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing dividends of an amount generally at least equal to 90 % of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for distributions paid, to its stockholders. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is based upon the annual earnings estimated by the management of the Company. To the extent that the Company’s earnings fall below the amount of dividend distributions declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders. As a RIC, the Company will be subject to a 4 % nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company makes distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a timely manner to its stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the 1-year period ending October 31 of each such calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years, but not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. The Company will not be subject to this excise tax on any amount on which the Company incurred U.S. federal corporate income tax (such as the tax imposed on a RIC’s retained net capital gains) . Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a taxable year, the Company may choose to carry over taxable income in excess of current taxable year distributions from such taxable income into the next taxable year and incur a 4 % excise tax on such taxable income, as required. The maximum amount of excess taxable income that may be carried over for distribution in the next taxable year under the Code is the total amount of distributions paid in the following taxable year, subject to certain declaration and payment guidelines. To the extent the Company chooses to carry over taxable income into the next taxable year, distributions declared and paid by the Company in a taxable year may differ from the Company’s taxable income for that taxable year as such distributions may include the distribution of current taxable year taxable income, the distribution of prior taxable year taxable income carried over into and distributed in the current taxable year, or returns of capital. The Company has subsidiaries that are classified as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes which hold certain portfolio investments in an effort to limit potential legal liability and/or comply with source-income type requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions of the Code. These subsidiaries are consolidated for GAAP and the portfolio investments held by the subsidiaries are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are recorded at fair value. These subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and tax assets and liabilities as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. Any income generated by these subsidiaries generally would be subject to U.S. federal income tax imposed at corporate rates. The Company intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that it may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of taxable income earned in a year, may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax. The Company is required to include net deferred tax provision/benefit in calculating its total expenses even though these net deferred taxes are not currently payable/receivable. 39 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, a portion of the Taxable Subsidiaries’ net operating loss carryforwards and basis differences may be subject to limitations on annual utilization in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state law. The amount of such limitations, if any, has not been determined. Accordingly, the amount of such tax attributes available to offset future profits may be significantly less than the actual amounts of the tax attributes. For accounting purposes, the Company and the Taxable Subsidiaries identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, New York, and California and may be subject to the taxing authorities’ examination for the tax years 2022–2025 for federal and New York and 2021–2025 in California, respectively. Further, the Company and the Taxable Subsidiaries accrue all interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as incurred. As of June 30, 2026, there were no material interest or penalties incurred related to uncertain tax positions.

The 6.00% Notes due 2026 are direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu , or equal in right of payment, with all outstanding and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company; senior to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the 6.00% Notes due 2026; effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured in respect of which the Company subsequently grants a security interest), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness (provided, however, that the Company has agreed under the Indenture to not incur any secured or unsecured indebtedness that would be senior to the 6.00% Notes due 2026 while the 6.00% Notes due 2026 are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions); and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company records certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with its 6.00% Notes due 2026 as deferred debt issuance costs. Such costs are reflected in the carrying value of the 6.00% Notes due 2026. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred debt issuance costs of $ 94,360 and $ 187,676 , respectively, associated with the 6.00% Notes due 2026.

On October 9, 2024, the Company issued an additional $ 5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Additional Notes”), which are treated as a single series with the Initial Notes. On January 16, 2025, the Company issued $ 5.0 million in Additional Notes, which are treated as a single series with the Initial Notes and prior issuances of Additional Notes. The 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 bear interest at a rate of 6.50 % per year, payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2024 .

The Company has the right to redeem the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after August 6, 2027, upon the fulfillment of certain conditions. The Company has determined that the Conversion Cap Cash Payment feature included in the Convertible Note is an embedded derivative that meets the equity classification criteria. As such, the feature is not bifurcated and is accounted for as part of the debt instrument, which is recorded at amortized cost. The Company continues to assess this feature to determine if a future event would require bifurcation. The 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 are convertible into shares of our common stock at the Purchaser’s sole discretion at an initial conversion rate of 129.0323 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029, subject to adjustment as provided in the Notes Purchase Agreement .

The adjustment to the conversion rate of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was made pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement governing the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 as a result of the Company’s cash dividend of $0.25 per share, paid on July 31, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 21, 2025. Effective as of November 21, 2025, the conversion rate applicable to the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was adjusted to $7.32 per share (136.5633 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029) from the most recent conversion price of $7.53 per share (132.7530 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029), which had been effective since July 21, 2025. The adjustment to the conversion rate of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was made pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement governing the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 as a result of the Company’s cash dividend of $ 0.25 per share, paid on December 5, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 21, 2025 . 41 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 The 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 are direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with any outstanding existing or future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

In accordance with the exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC on June 16, 2020 with respect to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is generally authorized to (i) issue restricted shares as part of the compensation package for certain of its employees, officers and all directors, including non-employee directors (collectively, the “Participants”), (ii) issue options to acquire shares of its common stock (“Options”) to certain employees, officers and employee directors as a part of such compensation packages, (iii) withhold shares of the Company’s common stock or purchase shares of common stock from the Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted shares or the exercise of Options granted to the certain Participants pursuant to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iv) permit the Participants to pay the exercise price of Options granted to them with shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, each non-employee director will receive an annual grant of $ 50,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock (based on the closing stock price of the common stock on the grant date). Each grant of $ 50,000 in restricted shares will vest, in full, if the non-employee director is in continuous service as a director of the Company through the anniversary of such grant (or, if earlier, the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that is closest to the anniversary of such grant). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 17,680 restricted shares to the Company’s non-employee directors pursuant to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, on May 28, 2026, 31,248 restricted shares related to the 2025 non-employee director grants vested. 42 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 Other than such restricted shares granted to non-employee directors, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors may determine the time or times at which restricted shares and Options granted to other Participants will vest or become payable or exercisable, as applicable. The exercise price of each Option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. However, any optionee who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s outstanding common stock (a “10% Stockholder”), will not be eligible for the grant of an incentive stock option unless the exercise price of the incentive stock option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Generally, no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. In the case of an Option granted to a 10% Stockholder, the term of an incentive stock option will be for no more than five years from the date of grant. On April 2, 2026, in connection with the Externalization, the Compensation Committee approved grants of 350,000 and 60,000 restricted shares to Mr. Klein and Ms. Green, respectively, and cash bonuses of $ 850,000 to Mr. Klein and $ 500,000 to Ms. Green, in each case contingent on stockholder approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company’s stockholders approved the Investment Advisory Agreement on June 10, 2026, and the Company granted those restricted shares on June 12, 2026 under the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. In connection with the Externalization, on June 15, 2026 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acceleration in full of the vesting of all restricted shares then outstanding and unvested under the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, effective as of June 15, 2026, including the 17,680 restricted shares granted to the Company’s non-employee directors in 2026. No restricted shares remained outstanding under either plan as of June 30, 2026. The Company accounted for the acceleration as a Type I, probable-to-probable modification under ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The modification did not otherwise change the underlying economic terms of the awards and did not result in incremental compensation cost because the fair value of the awards immediately before and immediately after the modification was the same. As a result, the Company recognized the remaining unrecognized compensation cost associated with the grant-date fair value of the outstanding awards upon consummation of the Externalization. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 11,807,726 (exclusive of $ 5,734,365 in aggregate income tax liability paid by the Company on behalf of certain executives as a result of the vesting of certain grants) and $ 499,125 , respectively, not including executive and employee forfeits. The increase in stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to (i) the acceleration of vesting for outstanding restricted share awards in connection with the Externalization, resulting in the immediate recognition of the remaining unrecognized compensation cost associated with those awards and (ii) compensation expense recognized for restricted share awards granted to executive officers in connection with the Externalization. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were approximately $ 0 and $ 5,722,648 (immaterially adjusted from amount previously disclosed), respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the restricted share grants. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares is recognized on a quarterly basis over the respective vesting periods. The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s restricted share grants for the six months ended June 30, 2026 under the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan: SCHEDULE OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN Number of Restricted Shares Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 (1) 957,173 Granted 437,680 Vested (2) ( 1,394,853 ) Outstanding as of June 30, 2026 — Total vested since inception as of June 30, 2026 2,563,102 (1) Not including unvested dividends. (2) The balance of vested shares reflects the total shares vested during the period and has not been reduced for those vested shares forfeited at time of vest related to net share settlement. The Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the concept of “net share settlement.” Specifically, it provides that the Company is authorized to withhold the Common Stock at the time the restricted shares are vested and taxed in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax obligations. 43 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP.

Equity investments made through the secondary market may involve making deposits in escrow accounts until the applicable closing conditions are satisfied, at which time the escrow accounts will close and such equity investments will be effectuated. Externalization At a special meeting held on June 10, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved a new investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with Neostellar Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and registered investment adviser (the “Adviser”) that is jointly owned by certain members of the Company’s former management team and by Magnetar Holdings LLC. As a result, effective July 15, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Company transitioned from an internally managed BDC to an externally managed BDC managed by the Adviser, and changed its name from “SuRo Capital Corp.” to “Neostellar Capital Corp.” (the “Externalization”). The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, now under the ticker symbol “NSLR.” Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75 % of gross assets, payable monthly in arrears, and an incentive fee consisting of an income-based fee and a capital gains fee; no incentive fee is payable with respect to investments held prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the Company also entered into an administration agreement with Neostellar Administrative Services LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Board of Directors appointed Erik Falk, a Partner and Head of Strategy of Magnetar, as an interested director. In addition, on July 16, 2026, MCP Investing LLC, an affiliate of Magnetar, purchased from the Company, for $ 20,000,000 , a redeemable promissory note bearing interest at 6.50 % per annum (payable semi-annually in cash) and maturing in 2029, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2026. In connection with the Externalization, on June 15, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the acceleration of the vesting of all unvested restricted shares granted under the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and the Second Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted share grants and cash bonuses approved in connection with the Externalization, and the acceleration of the vesting of the Company’s outstanding restricted shares, occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and are described in “Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation.” Shelf Registration Statement On July 30, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement on Form N-2 with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may offer, from time to time in one or more offerings, up to $ 500,000,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights to purchase shares of its common stock, debt securities, or warrants representing rights to purchase shares of its common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. As of the date of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the registration statement had not been declared effective, and no securities had been offered or sold thereunder. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration statement are recorded as deferred financing costs. Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies—Deferred Financing Costs.” 44 TABLE OF CONTENTS NEOSTELLAR CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2026 NOTE 13— SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA Summarized Financial Information of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries In accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X and GAAP, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services and benefits to the Company, and certain entities established for tax purposes where the Company holds a 100% interest; however, the Company must disclose certain financial information related to any subsidiaries or other entities that are considered to be “significant subsidiaries” under the applicable rules of Regulation S-X. In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that impacted the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or acquired funds (the “Final Rules”). The Final Rules adopted a new definition of “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. In accordance with Rules 3-09, 4-08(g), and 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine if any of its unconsolidated subsidiaries are considered a “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules amended the definition of “significant subsidiary” in a manner that was intended to more accurately capture those portfolio companies that were more likely to materially impact the financial condition of an investment company. The Company had no controlled portfolio companies as of June 30, 2026. The Company’s controlled portfolio company as of June 30, 2025, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, did not meet the definition of a “significant subsidiary” as set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X. 45 TABLE OF CONTENTS
