Item 1.                        Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

 

The securities to be registered hereby are shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company”). All shares of our common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, dividends and voting and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of our common stock if, as and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of funds legally available therefor. Shares of our common stock have no preemptive, exchange, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution after we pay all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of our preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of our common stock will possess exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at an annual meeting or special meeting duly called for such purpose and entitled to vote can elect all of our directors, and holders of less than a majority of such shares will be unable to elect any director.

 

The description of the common stock contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form N-2, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), and any form of prospectus or prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement that includes such descriptions and that are subsequently filed are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
