Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC) filed an 8-K on January 15, 2026 reporting results from its virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders elected John F. Barry III and Eugene S. Stark as Class III directors; both will serve until the 2028 annual meeting or until their successors are elected. The company reported final vote totals for each nominee as part of the filing.

Why It Matters
Board elections affect corporate governance and oversight. Re-election of these two Class III directors maintains continuity on Prospect Capital’s board through 2028, which can influence strategy, risk oversight and dividend/payout policies investors watch in business development companies (BDCs). The filing provides vote transparency and confirms the company’s governance outcome without indicating any immediate change to management or strategy.
