PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION
 
MVC Capital, Inc.
Full Name of Registrant

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
 
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 
(a)
The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
☐
(b)
The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
 
(c)
The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
 
PART III — NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
 
The Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016 (the “Q1 2016  Report”) could not be filed within the prescribed time period.  For the reasons stated in the Registrant’s Form 12b-25 filed on January 14, 2016, the Registrant has been delayed and thus has not yet filed the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.  This, in turn, has caused a delay in the preparation and filing of the Q1 2016 Report. The specific timing for the filing of the Q1 2016 Report is not yet known, but it is currently expected to be filed in the first half of 2016.

Yes   ☐      No  ☐
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As a result of the matters described in Part III of this filing, at this time, the Registrant is unable to assess the degree of anticipated significance of any change in the 2016 fiscal first quarter results compared to the prior fiscal year’s first quarter results.
