ITEM 5.03.
AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of MVC Capital, Inc. (the “Fund”) approved amended and restated Bylaws of the Fund, effective October 30, 2018, revising the indemnification provisions contained in Article 5 of the Bylaws. The revisions generally clarify when an indemnitee is determined to have satisfied the conditions for indemnification and provide that the Fund will not oppose an action brought by an indemnitee to adjudicate the indemnitee’s right to indemnification.

The foregoing description of the revisions to the Bylaws of the Fund is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Amended and Restated Bylaws are included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
