(RAND)   Report
INVESTOR PRESENTATION January 2023 Daniel P. Penberthy President & CEO Margaret W. Brechtel EVP & CFO LINK RAND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than historical facts, including but not limited to statements regarding the expectations of Rand Capital Corporation ("Rand" or the "Company") to continue to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the effectiveness of, and execution on, Rand's investment strategy and 2022 objectives; the investment processes to be used by Rand Capital Management under the investment advisory and management agreement with Rand, the competitive ability and position of Rand, the amount of the Company's dividend per share in future periods, and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words "may," "will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "endeavor," "seek," "anticipate," "estimate," "overestimate," "underestimate," "believe," "could," "project," "predict," "continue," "target" or other similar words or expressions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, (1) the risk that Rand may be unable to continue to fulfill the conditions required in order to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (2) evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; (3) changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions; and (4) other risk factors as detailed from time to time in Rand's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including Rand's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the preliminary and definitive proxy statements and other documents filed with the SEC. Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded as Rand's current plans, estimates and beliefs.
