Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 11, 2011, Melissa Morrison was appointed Chief Accounting Officer of Gladstone Capital Corporation (the "Company") by the Company’s board of directors. The appointment is effective immediately following the Company’s filing of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.

From September 2007 to September 2011, Ms. Morrison, age 38, served in various positions providing accounting and finance services including accounting and sales finance controller roles to Tandberg, Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc. in April 2010. Prior to September 2007, Ms. Morrison worked at PRA International, Inc. and Ericsson NetQual Inc. in accounting manager and assistant controller positions, respectively.

The Company does not pay cash compensation or provide other benefits directly to Ms. Morrison or to any of its other executive officers. Ms. Morrison is an employee of Gladstone Administration, LLC (the "Administrator"), which is compensated for the services it provides to the Company pursuant to the terms of an administration agreement between the Company and the Administrator (the "Administration Agreement"). Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Company makes payments equal to its allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement including, but not limited to, the Company’s allocable portion of the salary and bonus ("Salary Expenses") of Ms. Morrison. Based on the June 30, 2011 proportion of expense reimbursement due to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Company expects that its allocable portion of Ms. Morrison’s annualized Salary Expenses will be approximately $50,300.
