The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 (the “Original Filing”) for MVC Capital Inc. (the “Fund”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 2018, is to amend Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures. The Company is amending the Form 10-K due to an inadvertent omission of the subsection “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” from Part II, Item 9A of the Form 10-K.

Other than with respect to the foregoing, this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Form 10-K. This Form 10-K/A speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 10-K and does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to such original filing date.

ITEM 9A.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the individual who performs the functions of a Principal Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the individual who performs the functions of a Principal Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of October 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of October 31, 2017.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
General. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Scope of Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
- 2 -

Management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on management’s assessment, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017.
 
Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Company’s financial statements have been audited by Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), an independent registered public accounting firm.  Grant Thornton’s attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included in the Original Filing.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
