This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 7, 2022 on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined below), with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 Par Value (the “Common Stock”), of Great Elm Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”) (as amended, this “Statement”).

This Statement is filed jointly on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): Northern Right Capital Management, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Northern Right Management”); Northern Right Capital (QP), L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Northern Right QP”); NRC Partners I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“NRC Partners I”); BC Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“BCA”); and Matthew A. Drapkin.

Mr. Drapkin is a member of BCA, and BCA is the general partner of Northern Right Management. Mr. Drapkin is also a limited partner of Northern Right Management. Northern Right Management is the general partner of, and investment manager for, Northern Right QP and NRC Partners I, and the investment manager for separate managed accounts on behalf of investment advisory clients (the “Managed Accounts”).

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is amended and supplemented to add the following information for updating as of the date hereof:

The Reporting Persons expended an aggregate amount equal to $7,800,000 (including commissions) to purchase 624,000 shares of Common Stock. Funds used to purchase the reported securities have come from the personal account of Mr. Drapkin and other accounts under his control, as well as from the working capital of Northern Right QP, NRC Partners I and the Managed Accounts, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms or banks in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is amended and supplemented to add the following information for updating as of the date hereof:

(a)–(j) On May 17, 2022, the Issuer filed its prospectus (the “Prospectus”) setting forth the terms and conditions of its non-transferable subscription rights offering to stockholders of record as of May 23, 2022 (the “Rights Offering”). Under the provisions of the Rights Offering, the Reporting Persons received the right to subscribe for one share of Common Stock for every right held at a price of $12.50 per share (the “Primary Subscription Right”), and if the Reporting Persons fully exercised all subscription rights issued to them, the right to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock that remained unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised rights (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”).
