EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 4 to the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed by Great Elm Capital Group, Inc. with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated October 1, 2020, Amendment No. 2 dated December 31, 2020, and Amendment No. 3 dated September 20, 2021 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), of Great Elm Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”).  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
 
Item 2.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by Great Elm Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEG” or the “Reporting Person”).

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

(a) and (b) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported to be owned by the Reporting Person is based on 4,601,391 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported on the Issuer’s Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form N-2, filed on May 11, 2022.

As of May 11, 2022, GEG may be deemed to beneficially own 887,287 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 19.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Such shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person include (i) the shares of Common Stock held directly by GEG, over which GEG has sole voting and dispositive power and (ii) the shares of Common Stock held by Great Elm Opportunities Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“GEOF”), over which GEG has shared voting and dispositive power.  GEG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Great Elm Opportunities GP, Inc., a Delaware corporation, serves as the general partner of GEOF.

As of May 11, 2022, to the Reporting Person’s knowledge, the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Person beneficially own in the aggregate 679,362 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 14.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On May 11, 2022, the Reporting Person transferred 100,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration in connection with Great Elm Capital Management, Inc.’s (“GECM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, entry into an asset purchase agreement with Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC, pursuant to which GECM acquired the investment management agreement and certain other assets related thereto for Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC, a Maryland real estate investment trust. The upfront purchase price of $10.0 million was also financed, in part, with a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) issued by GECM in an aggregate principal amount of $6.3 million. The Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, at GECM’s option with cash, shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person or newly issued shares of the Reporting Person’s common stock.
