AMERICAN CAPITAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 NET OPERATING INCOME OF $71 MILLION, OR $0.20 PER DILUTED SHARE, AND NET EARNINGS OF $410 MILLION, OR $1.13 PER DILUTED SHARE

Bethesda, MD - August 2, 2011 - American Capital, Ltd. (“American Capital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACAS) announced net operating income (“NOI”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, of $71 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. Net earnings for the quarter were $410 million, or $1.13 per diluted share. Net asset value (“NAV”) per share increased 10%, or $1.19 per share, from March 31, 2011 to $13.16 as of June 30, 2011.

Q2 2011 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

$71 million NOI
ü    $42 million, or 145%, increase over Q2 2010
$(177) million net realized loss (net earnings less net unrealized appreciation)
ü    $114 million, or 39%, improvement over Q2 2010
$587 million net unrealized appreciation of investments
ü    $15 million, or 3%, increase over Q2 2010
$410 million net earnings
ü    $129 million, or 46%, increase over Q2 2010
ü    38% annualized return on average equity (“ROE”)
$179 million of cash proceeds from realizations
$100 million of securitization debt repaid
$13.16 NAV per share
ü    $1.19 per share, or 10%, increase over Q1 2011

“Our net asset value per share grew by $1.19 for the quarter to $13.16, delivering a 38% annualized return on equity for the quarter,” said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have now experienced eight consecutive quarters of net earnings on our investments, and earned $844 million in the first half of 2011, an 80% increase over the same period last year. We believe that the performance of our portfolio will continue to improve if the economy continues to recover. We remain focused on improving our balance sheet, growing our portfolio companies and originating high quality investment opportunities.”

PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, net unrealized appreciation of investments totaled $587 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:

$156 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in American Capital, LLC, its alternative asset management company, primarily due to an increase in its funds under management;
$137 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, excluding any impact of foreign currency translation on European Capital's cost basis or cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily due to an increase in European Capital's NAV and a decrease in the implied discount to its NAV,
ü    The Company's equity investment in European Capital is valued at $933 million, compared to the $1,035 million fair value of European Capital's NAV;

$30 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital's private finance portfolio as a result of improved portfolio company performance and improved multiples;
$8 million net unrealized appreciation from structured products investments as a result of improved cash flow projections and improved pricing of comparable transactions; and
$239 million of reversals of prior net unrealized depreciation associated with net realized losses on portfolio investments.

PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND PERFORMANCE
In the second quarter of 2011, $179 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments and exits. The Company made $6 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's private finance debt investments as of June 30, 2011 was 10.5%, which was 20 basis points higher than the March 31, 2011 rate of 10.3% and 30 basis points higher than the December 31, 2010 rate of 10.2%.

As of June 30, 2011, loans with a fair value of $255 million were on non-accrual, representing 9.0% of total loans at fair value, compared to $227 million fair value of non-accrual loans, representing 7.7% of total loans at fair value as of March 31, 2011.

“During the quarter, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet,” said Gordon O'Brien, President, Specialty Finance and Operations. “We paid down an additional $100 million of securitization debt and strengthened our asset coverage ratio to 376%, which is a 0.4:1 debt to equity ratio. We continued to see strong liquidity in our portfolio during the quarter and focused on maximizing the value of our investments through organic growth and operational improvements to generate shareholder value.”

CHANGE IN TAX STATUS
The Company has determined that it will not qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for its tax year ending September 30, 2011, because it did not meet the Code's portfolio diversification requirements as of June 30, 2011. Therefore, the Company will be subject to taxation under Subchapter C of the Code, which is applicable to most public corporations, rather than Subchapter M of the Code, which is applicable to RICs. The Company expects that for income tax purposes, it will have a net operating loss for the tax year ending September 30, 2011. Under Subchapter C of the Code, the Company will be able to carry that loss forward to its succeeding tax years, which it would not be able to do if it were subject to taxation as a RIC.

The Company may again qualify as a RIC in future tax years and then elect to be subject to taxation under Subchapter M. If that were to occur, the Company would again be subject to the rules under Subchapter M, including those related to annual distribution requirements and the composition of its gross income and investment portfolio. This change in tax status does not affect the Company's status as a Business Development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Company's compliance with the portfolio composition requirements of that statute.

“During the quarter, we became taxable as a Subchapter C corporation,” said John Erickson, President, Structured Finance and Chief Financial Officer. “As a C corporation, we can carry forward our expected 2011 ordinary taxable loss into future tax years to offset future ordinary income, which we would not be able to do as a RIC. These future earnings can then be retained. Additionally, we increased shareholder value in part by growing our asset management company. Our assets under management grew by $15 billion to $52 billion as American Capital Agency Corp. raised an additional $1.4 billion of equity during the quarter, and our asset management company added senior talent to prepare for future growth.”
