Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

(b) On June 22, 2015, Samuel B. Ligon, a director of Capital Southwest Corporation (the “Company”), advised the Company that he plans to retire and will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) when his term expires at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Ligon’s retirement from the Board will be effective at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Ligon has served on the Board since 2003. Mr. Ligon’s decision to retire and not stand for re-election was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or its management.

The Board will reduce the number of directors from seven to six directors, effective upon the expiration of the current terms of the directors of the Company immediately prior to the Annual Meeting. As a result, six directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting.
