More detailed information about these and other risk factors can be found in NewStar's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including Item 1A ("Risk Factors") of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10 -K as may be updated or supplemented by any Risk Factors contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 -Q.

SECTION 1 Q2 Highlights $7.3Bn* of AUM MANAGED BY 40 INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS AND 70EMPLOYEES * AuM as of June 30, 2017, including $726 million of managed assets acquired on July 20, 2017 2

Q2 2017 Highlights Market Conditions Investment Activity Credit Performance Capital Management Overall US middle market loan issuance was up 2% in Q2 from Q1 and 7% from Q2 16, while sponsored loan issuance was down 14% from Q1 and up 14% year-over-year. US mid-market institutional yields were almost flat at 6.2% for Q2 compared to 6.1% in Q1, reflecting an offsetting combination of tightening spreads and rising index rates. Relative value of middle market loans fell somewhat in Q2, as the yield premium over large corporate loans decreased to 141 bps from 163 bps in Q1. Funded $460 million of new direct credit investments in Q2 compared to $330 million in the prior quarter and $476 million in Q2 2016. Increase reflected market share pick-up and a typical seasonal pattern, tempered by a disciplined investment strategy with credit and pricing discipline. WA yields on new direct loans were approximately 6.8%. Managed loans and investments decreased slightly to approximately $6.5 billion due to the amortization and redemption of older CLOs issued in 2006 and 2007, partly offset by growth in middle market managed assets. Credit costs decreased by $3.5 million to $2.7 million in Q2 compared to last quarter which was elevated due to provisioning for a legacy workout in connection with the expected sale of the obligor. Non-accruing loans decreased to $95.1 million in Q2, or 3.06% of loans due primarily to $7.5 million of charge-offs against previously established reserves. Other credit activity remained within expectations. Returned approximately $7.3 million to stockholders in Q2 through share repurchases and dividends. Book value per share increased by $0.19 to $15.40 at June 30, 2017 due primarily to retained earnings and $6.5 million of accretive share repurchases in the second quarter. Strategic Initiatives Completed acquisition of CLO management business subsequent to quarter-end, adding $726 million to AUM. Refinanced an existing $500 million managed CLO called Longfellow Place in a reset transaction that extended the investment period by four years among other things. 3

Summary of Recent Acquisition On July 20, 2017, NewStar Financial Inc. acquired 100% of the membership interests of Fifth Street CLO Management LLC ( FSCM ) from Fifth Street Holdings LP ( FS ) for approximately $16 million in cash, net of $13 million of assumed debt. Formed in 2015 by Fifth Street to manage its middle market CLO business, FSCM manages two CLOs backed by middle market loans and holds certain interests in those CLOs primarily to comply with regulatory risk retention requirements. The purchase included two collateral management contracts and retained CLO notes with a par value of approximately $25.4 million The acquisition added approximately $726 million of managed assets, increasing total AUM to approximately $7.25 billion. The funds are also expected to add meaningfully to the amount NewStar will commit to single lending transactions and provide more than $200 million of annual lending capacity FSCM will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewStar and continue to serve as collateral manager and hold the retained interests in the CLOs. The acquired company will be re-branded and the funds will be re-named and operate as the NewStar Exeter and Fairfield Funds NewStar assumed an existing credit facility with Natixis in connection with the transaction which is used to partially finance the CLO notes retained by the company. The transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings with management fees of approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million in the second half of 2017 and the full year of 2018, respectively, with nominal additional operating expenses. 5

Managed assets decreased slightly to $6.5 billion. Total assets held by managed funds were approximately $3.3 billion. Net interest income increased by $1.0 million due to rising index rates on loans and higher deferred loan fee amortization which was partly offset by an increase to cost funds due to higher LIBOR index rates As a result, margin widened to 1.56% in Q2 from 1.45% in Q1. Fee and asset management income fell by $0.9 million due primarily to lower capital markets fees. Other non-interest income decreased due primarily to market value adjustments, which re-traced gains from prior periods Operating expenses decreased to $10.3 million in Q2 from $11.6 million in Q1. Credit costs decreased by almot $3.5 million to $2.7 million from $6.1 million in Q1. Book value per share increased $0.19 to $15.40 due primarily to accretive share repurchases and retained earnings. 8

Net interest margin analysis LIBOR index rates on loans began to exceed average fixed floor thresholds in Q2, offsetting some of the margin pressure experienced in Q1. Further rate increases are expected to provide additional lift to the margin in future quarters as rates are above floor thresholds on loans Excess liquidity generated from divestitures was less of a drag on yields in Q2 as cash was returned to shareholders and deployed through investment activity Q1 2017 NIM 1.45% Loan Base Rate Impact + Credit Spreads + Interest Expense + Deferred Fee Income + Other = NIM 0.08% + 0.00% + -0.09% + 0.04% + 0.08% = 0.11% Base rates on earning assets Stable Increase in LIBOR base rates in financing arrangements Higher amortization of deferred loan fees related to prepay ments Increase in loans as % of interest earning assets Q2 2017 NIM 1.56% 9

Our modeling is based on contractual terms and does not consider prepayment or changes in the composition of our portfolio or our current capital structure. It further generalizes that both variable rate assets and liabilities are indexed to a flat 3 month LIBOR yield curve. Although we belie ve these measurements are representative of our interest rate sensitivity, we can give no assurance that actual results would not differ materially from our modeled outcomes. 10

Q2 2017 Credit performance Credit Costs Non-accruing loans Allowance for loan losses Credit costs decreased by $3.5 million to $2.7 million due primarily to lower specific provision expenses which was elevated in the prior quarter due to a single legacy loan in connection with an expected sale of the obligor. Specific provision decreased by $3.0 million to $3.3 million in Q2 2017 from $6.3 million in the prior quarter. NPLs decreased to 3.06% in Q2 from 3.18% in Q1 due primarily to charge-off activity. The allowance for credit losses decreased by $4.8 million to $47.3 million, or 1.75% of loans as of June 30, 2017 from 1.85% of loans as of March 31, 2017 due to $7.5 million of chargeoffs which was partly offset by $2.7 million of provisioning activity.

SECTION 4 APPENDIX 20

Non-GAAP financial measures References to operating expenses, excluding non-cash equity compensation and severance costs mean operating expenses as determined under GAAP, excluding compensation expense related to restricted stock grants and severance costs related to separation agreements with former employees. GAAP requires that these items be included in operating expenses. NewStar management uses operating expenses, exclud ing non-cash equity compensation and severance costs to make operational and investment decisions, and NewStar believes that they provide useful information to investors in their evaluation of our financial performance and condition. Excluding the financial results and expenses incurred in connection with the compensation expense related to restricted stock grants eliminates unique amounts that make it difficult to assess our core p erformance and compare our period-over-period results. A reconciliation of operating expenses, excluding non-cash equity compensation to operating expenses is included below.
