EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7,
2022 on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined below), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated June 21, 2022, with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Great Elm Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the
“Issuer”) (as amended, this “Statement”).
This Statement is filed jointly on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): Northern Right Capital
Management, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Northern Right Management”); Northern Right Capital (QP), L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Northern Right QP”); BC Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“BCA”); and Matthew A. Drapkin.
Mr. Drapkin is a member of BCA, and BCA is the general partner of Northern Right Management. Mr. Drapkin is also a limited partner of
Northern Right Management. Northern Right Management is the general partner of, and investment manager for, Northern Right QP, and the investment manager for separate managed accounts on behalf of investment advisory clients (the “Managed

Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
(a) and (b) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported to be owned by the Reporting Persons is based on 9,452,382 shares of Common

As general partner of Northern Right QP, Northern Right Management may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of

deemed to have the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the 369,140 shares of the Common Stock held by the Managed Accounts. In the aggregate, such shares represent approximately
3.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (or deemed beneficially owned) by Northern Right Management. BCA disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary
interest therein. In the aggregate, such shares represent 8.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Mr. Drapkin beneficially owns and has the power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of)
61,617 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Drapkin, as managing member of BCA, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the shares of Common Stock beneficially
