**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**I. Background**
On August 17, 2023, the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) implemented new regulations for the Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) program as part of the SBIC Investment Diversification and Growth rulemaking. The new regulations significantly reduce barriers to program participation for new SBIC fund managers and funds investing in underserved communities and geographies, capital intensive investments, and technologies critical to national security and economic development. The proposed rule introduced two additional types of SBIC Licensees, Reinvestor SBICs and Accrual SBICs, to increase program investment diversification and equity-oriented financing for American small businesses and innovative startups. Reinvestor SBICs expand SBA's network of emerging fund managers, micro-funds, and funds addressing underserved communities and geographies and undercapitalized industries.
