Item 28. | Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control |
Immediately prior to this offering, OFSAM will own 100% of our outstanding common stock. Following the completion of this offering, OFSAMs share ownership is expected to represent 30.0% of our outstanding common stock (assuming no exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares of our common stock).
Upon the consummation of this offering, we will own 100% of the limited liability company interests of OFS Capital WM and currently we have subscribed for $24.9 million out of a total of $36.4 million committed and partially funded commitments in Tamarix LP (giving us 68.4% of the limited partnership interests). The financial condition and results of operations of OFS Capital WM are included in the Registrants consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012. Prior to the WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments, under generally accepted accounting principles, OFS Capital WM was not consolidated in the Registrants financial statements, but separate financial statements for OFS Capital WM, LLC are filed herewith.
The financial condition and results of operations of Tamarix LP are included in the Registrants consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012. Prior to May 10, 2012, we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Tamarix LP and therefore, in accordance with ASC Topic 810, the financial statements of Tamarix LP were consolidated with ours. On May 10, 2012, as a result of Tamarix LPs receipt of the SBIC license, we became a 68.4% limited partner in Tamarix LP and were deemed under the applicable accounting literature to continue to hold the controlling financial interest in Tamarix LP, as more fully described in our financial statements. Accordingly, we continued to consolidate the financial statements of Tamarix LP with ours at June 30, 2012. However, as a result of the repayment of certain loans due to OFS Capital and the resignation from our affiliated entity of the three investment professionals of Tamarix GP, effective as of July 27, 2012, we no longer consolidate Tamarix LPs financial statements into our financial statements.

Item 30. | Indemnification |
As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, we have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation, that limit or eliminate the personal liability of its directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for: any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under Section 145 of the DGCL, we are permitted to offer indemnification to our directors, officers, employees and agents.
C-4
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the persons conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise, against any expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the persons status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the law. We have obtained liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.
The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that OFS Advisor and its and its affiliates officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders and employees are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and other amounts reasonably incurred) arising from the rendering of OFS Advisors services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, except where attributable to willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of such persons duties, or reckless disregard of such persons obligations and duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Administration Agreement provides that OFS Services and its and its affiliates officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders and employees are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of OFS Services services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as our administrator, except where attributable to willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of such persons duties, or reckless disregard of such persons obligations and duties under the Administration Agreement.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
C-5
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 31. | Business and Other Connections of Investment Advisor. |
A description of any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature in which OFS Advisor, and each managing director, director or executive officer of OFS Advisor, is or has been during the past two fiscal years, engaged in for his or her own account or in the capacity of director, officer, employee, partner or trustee, is set forth in Part A of this Registration Statement in the sections entitled Management. Additional information regarding the OFS Advisor and its officers and directors is set forth in its Form ADV, as filed with the SEC (File No. 801-71366), and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 32. | Location of Accounts and Records. |

(1) | OFS Capital Corporation, 2850 West Golf Road, 5th Floor, Rolling Meadows, Illinois 60008; |

[ON THE LETTERHEAD OF SULLIVAN & CROMWELL LLP]
Exhibit (l)
November 7, 2012
OFS Capital Corporation,
2850 West Golf Road, 5th Floor,
Rolling Meadows, Illinois 60008.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) of 7,666,667 shares (the Securities) of Common Stock par value $0.01 per share, of OFS Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), we, as your counsel, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that, in our opinion, when the registration statement relating to the Securities (the Registration Statement) has become effective under the Act, the terms of the sale of the Securities have been duly established in conformity with the Companys certificate of incorporation, and the Securities have been duly issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Delaware, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We have relied as to certain factual matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by us to be responsible.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to us under the heading Validity of Common Stock in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ SULLIVAN & CROMWELL LLP
