I will also report on our progress during the past year and respond to stockholders’ questions.

It is important that your shares be represented, either in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT
 
2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

This proxy statement contains information relating to the annual meeting of NGP Capital Resources Company, a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), to be held on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 beginning at 11:00 a.m., local time, at The Downtown Club, 1100 Caroline Street, Houston, Texas 77002, and any postponements or adjournments thereof, and is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors to be voted at the annual meeting. This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about April 5, 2013.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 15, 2013. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at http://ngpcapital.investorroom.com. On this site, you will be able to access our Proxy Statement, our 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing materials that are required to be furnished to stockholders.

We encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting in person at the meeting or by granting a proxy (i.e., authorizing someone to vote your shares). If you properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card, and we receive it in time for voting at the meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares in the manner that you specify. If you give no instructions on the proxy card, the shares covered by the proxy card will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the nominees as directors and “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any matter to be presented for action at the annual meeting of the Company other than the matters set forth herein. Should any other matter requiring a vote of stockholders arise, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters. The stockholders of the Company have no dissenter’s or appraisal rights in connection with any of the proposals described herein.

You may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the annual meeting. You may accomplish this by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy, which automatically revokes the earlier proxy instructions, by giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing before or at the annual meeting or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the annual meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the annual meeting. If you choose to do so, please bring the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification. Shares held beneficially in street name (that is, through a broker, bank or other nominee) may be voted in person by you only if, with respect to those shares, you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (your broker, bank or other nominee is considered the stockholder of record) giving you the right to vote the shares. In addition, you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date. If your shares are held for your account by a broker, bank or other institution or nominee, to revoke any voting instructions prior to the time the vote is taken at the annual meeting, you must contact such broker, bank or other institution or nominee to determine how to revoke your vote in accordance with their policies a sufficient time in advance of the annual meeting.

If you receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card, it means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all proxy and voting instruction cards you receive. We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and publish the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed within four business days after the end of the annual meeting.

Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting. Each stockholder may be asked to present valid identification.

Purpose of Meeting

At our annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote upon the election of two Class III directors to serve until the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify, to consider and vote upon the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, and to consider and take action upon such other business which may properly come before the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. In addition, our management will report on our performance during 2012 and respond to questions from stockholders.

Voting Securities

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2013, the record date for the meeting, which we refer to as the Record Date, are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the annual meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. There were 21,020,077 shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Quorum Required

A quorum must be present at the meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. If there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve or ratify any of the foregoing proposals at the time of the annual meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the annual meeting in order to permit further solicitation of proxies by the Company.

Shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee for which the nominee has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on certain proposals (which are considered “broker non-votes” with respect to such proposals) will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. Abstentions will also be treated as shares present for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the meeting.

Vote Required

Election of Directors.  The election of a director requires the vote of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. If you vote to withhold authority with respect to a nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to the person indicated. Because directors are elected by the vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, votes to withhold authority will have the effect of a vote against a nominee.

If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the election of directors. Proposal 1 is a non-routine matter. As a result, if you hold shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or nominee will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to this proposal. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions on how to vote for you or do not vote for yourself by returning a proxy card, no vote will be cast on your behalf in the election of directors, which will have the effect of a vote against the director nominee.

Ratification of Selection of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2013.  The ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting, assuming the presence of a quorum. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

If there are not sufficient votes to approve or ratify any of the foregoing proposals at the time of the annual meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the annual meeting in order to permit further solicitation of proxies by the Company. A stockholder vote may be taken on one of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such proposal.

Information Regarding this Solicitation

The proxies being solicited hereby are being solicited by our Board of Directors. The cost of soliciting proxies in the enclosed form will be paid by us. Our officers and regular employees and NGP Investment Advisor, LP, which we refer to as our manager or NGPIA, and NGP Administration, LLC, which we refer to as our administrator or NGPA, may, but without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies by further mailing or personal conversations, or by telephone, facsimile or electronic means. Copies of solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians to forward to beneficial owners of stock held in the name of such nominees. We will, upon request, reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock.

The Company has engaged the services of Georgeson Inc., which we refer to as Georgeson, for the purpose of assisting in the solicitation of proxies (including broker search and delivery services) at a cost of approximately $10,000 plus reimbursement of certain expenses and fees for additional services requested. Please note that Georgeson may solicit stockholder proxies by telephone on behalf of the Company. They will not attempt to influence how you vote your shares, but only ask that you take the time to cast a vote. You may also be asked if you would like to vote over the phone and have your vote transmitted to our proxy tabulation firm.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

As of the Record Date, to our knowledge, there were no persons that owned 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities and no person would be deemed to control us, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which we refer to as the 1940 Act.

Our directors are divided into two groups — interested directors and independent directors. Interested directors are “interested persons” of us, as defined in the 1940 Act.

The following table shows the amount of our common stock beneficially owned (unless otherwise indicated) as of April 2, 2013, by (1) any person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (2) each of our directors and nominees for director, (3) our chief executive officer and certain other executive officers and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined under the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 2, 2013, through the exercise of any stock option or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has the sole investment and voting power, or shares such powers with his spouse, with respect to the shares set forth in the table. Unless known otherwise by us, the beneficial ownership information is based on the most recent Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, as applicable.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed in the table below is 909 Fannin, Suite 3800, Houston, Texas 77010.

For the period ended December 31, 2012, none of the independent directors or their immediate family members owned any shares of NGPIA or in any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with NGPIA. However, Mr. Albin and Mr. Hersh have indirect interests, through several entities, in NGPIA. The nature of both Mr. Albin’s and Mr. Hersh’s indirect interest in NGPIA is less than 25% of its total partnership interests, but the specific value varies from time to time.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s charter, or our charter, provides that we will have five directors, which number may be increased or decreased by the Board pursuant to our bylaws. There are currently five directors, including three independent directors.

The Board is divided into three classes, which we refer to as Class I, Class II and Class III directors. The terms of our Class III directors, Mr. Kenneth A. Hersh and Mr. William K. White, expire at the 2013 annual meeting of our stockholders. The terms of our Class II directors, Mr. David R. Albin and Mr. Lon C. Kile, expire at the 2015 annual meeting of our stockholders. The term of our Class I director, Mr. Edward W. Blessing, expires at the 2014 annual meeting of our stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors is elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting in the third year following the year of election. Each director holds office until his successor is elected and qualifies.

Mr. Kenneth A. Hersh and Mr. William K. White have been nominated by the Board to stand for re-election at the meeting to hold office until the 2016 annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. In the election of the director, you may vote “FOR” either of the nominees or both of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to either nominee or both nominees. If you sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. Both nominees have consented to serve if elected. As of the mailing of these proxy materials, the Board knows of no reason why either nominee would be unable to serve as a director. If, at the time of the annual meeting, a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, it is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote to elect a substitute nominee designated by the Board.

The Board unanimously recommends that each stockholder vote “FOR” the election of Mr. Kenneth A. Hersh and Mr. William K. White as Class III directors.

Information About the Nominees and Directors

Certain information with respect to the Class III nominees for election at the meeting, as well as each of the other directors, is set forth below, including their names, ages, a brief description of their recent business experience, including present occupations and employment, certain directorships that each person holds and the year in which each person became a director. Both of the nominees for Class III directors currently serve as directors of the Company.

The Board believes that it is necessary for each of the Company’s directors to possess many qualities and skills. When searching for new candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the evolving needs of the Board and searches for candidates that fill any current or anticipated future gap. The Board also believes that all directors must possess a considerable amount of business management (such as experience as a chief executive officer or chief financial officer) and educational experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee first considers a candidate’s management experience and then considers issues of judgment, background, stature, conflicts of interest, integrity, ethics and commitment to the goal of maximizing stockholder value when considering director candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also focuses on issues of diversity, such as diversity of gender, race and national origin, education, professional experience and differences in viewpoints and skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that it is essential that the Board members represent diverse viewpoints. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials in the context of these standards. With respect to the nomination of continuing directors for re-election, the individual’s contributions to the Board are also considered.

The Board believes that each of our directors is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board. All of our directors bring to our Board a wealth of executive leadership experience derived from their service as executives. They also all bring extensive board experience. Our directors are highly educated and have diverse backgrounds and talents and extensive track records of success in what we believe are highly relevant positions with reputable organizations. Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole are described below.

As a director of the Foundation, he serves on the Finance and Investment Committee and the Audit Committee.

He retired as the Chief Financial Officer of Energy Transfer Company (now Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P.) in 2004.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees

The Board provides overall guidance and supervision with respect to our operations and performs the various responsibilities imposed on the directors of business development companies by the 1940 Act. Among other things, the Board supervises our management arrangements, the custodial arrangements with respect to portfolio securities, the selection of accountants, fidelity bonding and transactions with affiliates. All actions taken by the Board are taken by majority vote unless a higher percentage is required by law or unless the 1940 Act or our charter or bylaws require that the actions be approved by a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act).

During 2012, the Board met nine times. Each director attended at least 75% of all meetings held by the Board or the committees of the Board on which he served. We have adopted a policy about directors’ attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders, which states that we expect our directors to attend the annual meetings of our stockholders, although attendance is not mandatory. Three out of five of our directors attended the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Leadership Structure.  We separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day to day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for Board meetings and presides over meetings of the Board. Presently, Mr. Hersh serves as the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Hersh is an “interested person” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act because he is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of NGP Energy Capital Management, LLC, which is the sole limited partner of NGPIA. The Board does not currently have a lead independent director; however, it has determined that its leadership structure, in which 60% of the directors are independent directors and, as such are not affiliated with NGPIA or NGPA, is appropriate in light of the services that NGPIA and NGPA provide to the Company and the potential conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships.

Risk Oversight.  The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s management agreement. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board of Directors and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.

Board Committees.  The Board has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Valuation Committee. The members of the Board of Directors on the date of this proxy statement and the committees of the Board on which they serve, are identified below.

Director		Audit Committee		Compensation Committee		Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee		Valuation Committee
David R. Albin
Edward W. Blessing		**		*		**
Kenneth A. Hersh								**
Lon C. Kile		*		**		*		*
William K. White		*		*		*

There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer or nominee.

Audit Committee.  The functions of the Audit Committee are described below under the heading “Report of the Audit Committee.” The charter of the Audit Committee sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, which include selecting or retaining each year an independent registered public accounting firm, which we refer to as the auditors, to audit our accounts and records; reviewing and discussing with management and the auditors our annual audited financial statements, including disclosures made in management’s discussion and analysis, and recommending to the Board of Directors whether the audited financial statements should be included in our annual report on Form 10-K; reviewing and discussing with management and the auditors our quarterly financial statements prior to the filings of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q; pre-approving the auditors’ engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services; and evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the auditors.

Each member of the Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of SEC regulations and the Nasdaq Global Select Market qualitative listing requirements and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the statement of net assets, statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and statement of cash flows. No member of the Audit Committee has participated in the preparation of the financial statements at any time during the past three years. Mr. Blessing, the chair of the Committee, is qualified as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and the Board has determined that he has past experience in finance or accounting that results in his financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq Global Select Market qualitative listing requirements. The charter of the Audit Committee is available on our website (www.ngpcrc.com). Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that we file with the SEC. The Audit Committee met seven times during 2012.

Compensation Committee.  The function of the Compensation Committee is to review and approve the compensation of our investment advisor relative to performance pursuant to an investment advisory agreement dated November 9, 2004, or, if we cease to have a separate investment advisor and directly compensate our executive officers, the compensation of our Executive Officers relative to performance. The charter of the Compensation Committee is available on our website (www.ngpcrc.com). Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that we file with the SEC. The Compensation Committee met three times during 2012. All members of the Committee are independent within the meaning of SEC regulations and the Nasdaq Global Select Market qualitative listing requirements.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and implementing policies and practices relating to corporate governance. The Committee selects individuals for nomination to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Committee develops and reviews background information on candidates for the Board and makes recommendations to the Board regarding such candidates. The Committee also prepares and supervises the Board’s annual review of director independence. The Committee also reviews and may make recommendations to the Board relating to those issues that pertain to the effectiveness of the Board in carrying out its responsibilities in governing us and overseeing our management. The charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is available on our website (www.ngpcrc.com). Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that we file with the SEC. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during 2012.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the Board should notify our Secretary or any member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in writing in care of NGP Capital Resources Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 909 Fannin, Suite 3800, Houston, Texas 77010. To be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, stockholder nominations must be submitted before the fiscal year-end and must be accompanied by a description of the qualifications of the proposed candidate and

a written statement from the proposed candidate that he or she is willing to be nominated and desires to serve if elected. The Committee will also consider whether to nominate any person nominated by a stockholder pursuant to the provisions of our bylaws relating to stockholder nominations as described in “Additional Information — Stockholder Proposals for the 2013 Annual Meeting” below. Nominees for director who are recommended by stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner as any other nominee for director.

Once the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has identified a prospective nominee, the Committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This initial determination is based on whatever information is provided to the Committee with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the Committee’s own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional Board members to fill vacancies or expand the size of the Board and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the evaluation factors considered by the Committee. If the Committee determines, in consultation with the other Board members as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it may gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience. The Chairman of the Committee and the Chairman of the Board will then interview a qualified candidate. A qualified candidate is then invited to meet the remaining members of the Committee and the other directors. The Committee then determines, based on the background information and information obtained in interviews, whether to recommend to the Board that a candidate be nominated to the Board.

The Committee believes a prospective nominee for director should, at a minimum, satisfy the following standards and qualifications and evaluates prospective nominees accordingly:

The Committee also considers such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of management and independent directors and the need for Audit Committee expertise. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Committee.

All of the members of the Committee are independent within the meaning of SEC regulations and the Nasdaq Global Select Market qualitative listing requirements. No member of the Committee is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act.

Valuation Committee.  The function of the Valuation Committee is to aid the Board in estimating the fair values of debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or for which current market valuations are not readily available. The Committee met nine times during 2012.

Communications With the Board

We provide a means for our stockholders to communicate with the Board. Stockholders may address correspondence to the Board as a whole or individual Board members relating to us via e-mail at mailto: investor_relations@ngpcrc.com.

Independent Directors

The Board undertook its annual review of director independence in February 2013. During this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his immediate family and us. The Board also examined transactions and relationships between directors or their affiliates and members of our senior management or their affiliates. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors are independent of us and our management with the exception of David R. Albin and Kenneth A. Hersh. Messrs. Albin and Hersh are considered interested directors because of their employment as senior executives and owners of NGP Energy Capital Management, LLC, which we refer to as NGP, which is the sole limited partner of NGPIA.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees. Services necessary for our business are provided by individuals who are employees of NGPIA, our manager, and NGPA, our administrator, pursuant to the terms of our investment advisory agreement and our administration agreement, respectively. Each of our executive officers is an employee of NGPA. Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by our investment adviser. Most of the services necessary for the origination and administration of our investment portfolio are provided by investment professionals employed by NGPA. In addition, we reimburse NGPA for our allocable portion of expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs.

Under our investment advisory agreement, NGPIA earned approximately $4.6 million in fees for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, during 2012, we reimbursed NGPA approximately $2.9 million in connection with our allocable portion of certain expenses under the administration agreement.

Compensation of Directors

The following table sets forth the compensation paid to our directors in 2012:

Name of Person, Position		Fees earned or paid in cash				Total

During 2013, each director who is not an officer will receive an annual fee of $75,000 and reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at meetings. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual fee of $10,000 in quarterly payments, and each chairman of any other committee will receive an annual fee of $5,000 in quarterly payments. The independent directors do not receive any additional compensation from us or our portfolio companies for any additional services rendered. Each director who is not an officer is also provided an allowance of up to $10,000 to be used for professional training purposes. The directors who were not officers were paid an aggregate of $230,530 as compensation for the year ended December 31, 2012, representing the annual fees for the year served in 2012. This amount is slightly lower than in previous years due to the resignation of Mr. Latimer in September 2012.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee of the Board is currently comprised of Messrs. Kile (chair), Blessing and White. Mr. Latimer served on the Compensation Committee until his resignation from the Board and all committees thereof effective September 25, 2012.

Indemnity Agreements

We have entered into indemnity agreements with certain officers and directors which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines, liabilities, losses, penalties, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement that he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director or officer, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law and our charter and bylaws. In addition, the investment advisory agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, our manager, its partners and our managers’ and its partners’ respective officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising out of or otherwise based upon any of our manager’s duties or obligations under the investment advisory agreement or otherwise as our investment adviser.

Our independent directors are required to review and approve any transactions with related persons (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under the federal securities laws, our directors, executive (and certain other) officers and any persons holding more than ten percent of our common stock are required to report their ownership of our common stock and any changes in that ownership to us and the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established by regulation, and we are required to report in this proxy statement any failure to file by these dates in 2012. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of beneficial ownership reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2012, all of our directors, officers and more than 10 percent beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Information about the Audit Committee and the Principal Accountant

Report of the Audit Committee

The following report of the Audit Committee of the Board does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the selection and engagement of the Company’s independent auditors, the review and pre-approval of both the audit and non-audit work of the Company’s independent public accountants, the review of the Company’s compliance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, and the Internal Revenue Service and other related matters. The Company adopted an Audit Committee Charter on August 12, 2004. The full text of the Audit Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website (www.ngpcrc.com). Information contained on or connected to the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that the Company files with the SEC.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally

accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the Company’s auditors are in fact “independent.”

The Audit Committee schedules its meetings with a view to ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its duties. The Audit Committee’s meetings include, whenever appropriate, executive sessions with our independent auditor without the presence of management.

As part of its oversight of our financial statements, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with both management and the Company’s independent auditor all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance. During 2012, management advised the Audit Committee that each set of financial statements reviewed had been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting and disclosure issues with the Audit Committee. These reviews included discussions with Ernst & Young LLP, which we refer to as E&Y, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2012, of matters required to be disclosed pursuant to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s AU Section 380 (Communication with Audit Committees), including the quality of our accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with E&Y matters relating to its independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and reviewed the written disclosure and the letter from E&Y required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s management and E&Y such other matters and received such assurance from them, as the Audit Committee deemed appropriate.

Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2013.

Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board,
Edward W. Blessing, Chairman
Lon C. Kile
William K. White

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On April 12, 2012, the Audit Committee dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, which we refer to as PwC, as our independent registered public accounting firm. PwC’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through April 12, 2012, (i) there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make a reference thereto in their reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods and (ii) during the two most recent fiscal years and through April 12, 2012, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for the following matter:

As disclosed in Item 4 of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, management concluded that we did not maintain effective controls over the determination and reporting of the provision for income taxes. Accordingly, management concluded that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. Subsequently, we remediated the material weakness and concluded our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010 (as previously reported in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010).

On April 12, 2012, the Audit Committee engaged E&Y as our independent registered public accounting firm, as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 and the interim periods prior to such year-end. The Audit Committee (composed entirely of independent directors) elected to retain E&Y as our auditor given E&Y’s experience and presence in the accounting profession and in our industry. Our stockholders ratified the selection of E&Y as our auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through April 12, 2012, we did not consult with E&Y regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by E&Y to us that E&Y concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (ii) any other matters or reportable events described under Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we provided PwC with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that PwC furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 13, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2012.

Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to us for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 by E&Y and PwC.

		Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012				Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011
Audit Fees		$	630,000	(1)		$	558,000	(1)
Audit-related Fees			29,614				10,000
Tax Fees			35,000				111,000
All Other Fees			—				—
Total Fees		$	694,614			$	679,000

Audit fees relate to fees billed by E&Y for 2012 and PwC for 2011 for the annual audit, including the audit of our annual financial statements, audit of management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting, review of our quarterly financial statements and assistance with and review of registration statements filed with the SEC. Audit-related fees include fees billed for out-of-pocket expenses for audit-related services, for attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and $12,000 of fees billed by PwC in 2012 for services related to the change in registered public accounting firm. Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. All other fees would relate to fees billed for products and services other than services described above.

All of the audit-related, tax compliance and other consultation services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by E&Y to us, our manager and our administrator is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

There were no non-audit services billed by E&Y to our manager or our administrator. In addition, E&Y did not provide any non-audit services to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with our manager.

The Audit Committee’s procedure is to approve prior to commencement of the engagement or project all audit and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed by the independent auditor for us, for our manager on our behalf, and for any entity controlling, controlled by or

under common control with our manager on our behalf, subject to the de minimis exception for non-audit services set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X that are approved by the Audit Committee before completion of the audit. In pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee or a delegated member must consider whether the provision of the permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of, and its status as, our independent auditor.

Certain services may not be provided to us by the independent auditor without jeopardizing the auditor’s independence. These services are deemed prohibited services and include certain management functions; human resources services; broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit. Other services are conditionally prohibited and may be provided if the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of our financial statements. These types of services include bookkeeping, financial information systems design and implementation, valuation services and internal audit outsourcing services.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 and our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, and the Audit Committee is submitting the selection of E&Y to the stockholders for ratification. E&Y has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2012 and also has provided certain tax and other audit-related services during that time.

Representatives of E&Y are expected to be present at the annual meeting, and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In the proposal for the ratification of E&Y as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal, or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal. If you sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain E&Y. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Board, based on the approval and the recommendation of the Audit Committee, unanimously recommends that each stockholder vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no matters other than those listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders that are likely to come before the annual meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the individuals named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters.

In the event that sufficient votes in favor of the proposals set forth in the Notice of the Annual Meeting are not received by the time scheduled for the annual meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the individuals named as proxies may move for one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Stockholder Proposals for the 2014 Annual Meeting.  Stockholders interested in submitting a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2014 Annual Meeting may do so by following the procedures prescribed in SEC Rule 14a-8. Proposals should be sent to us at 909 Fannin, Suite 3800, Houston, Texas 77010, Attention: Corporate Secretary no later than December 6, 2013 to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials. Submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee inclusion in our proxy statement or form of proxy because certain SEC rules must be satisfied.

In addition, as more specifically provided in the Company’s current bylaws, a stockholder making a nomination of a candidate for director or a proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders (other than proposals to be included in our proxy materials as discussed in the previous paragraph) for our

2014 Annual Meeting must deliver to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth in the following paragraph not earlier than the 150^th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting nor later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the 120^th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 150^th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the later of the 120^th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Accordingly, a stockholder’s nomination of a candidate for director or other proposal of business must be received no earlier than November 6, 2013 and no later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on December 6, 2013 in order to be considered at the 2014 Annual Meeting.

Under the Company’s bylaws, if you are a stockholder and wish to make a director nomination or a proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at a meeting of stockholders, you must deliver written notice of your intent to make such a nomination either by personal delivery or by U.S. mail, postage prepaid, to Corporate Secretary, NGP Capital Resources Company, 909 Fannin, Suite 3800, Houston, Texas 77010, within the time limits described above for delivering of notice of a stockholder proposal and comply with the information requirements in the bylaws relating to stockholder nominations. See “Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees — Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee” for additional information about stockholder nominations.

These requirements are separate from and in addition to the SEC’s requirements that a stockholder must meet in order to have a stockholder proposal included in our proxy statement.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act, the Board may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by it with respect to any matter properly presented by a stockholder at the 2014 Annual Meeting that the stockholder does not seek to have included in our proxy statement if (except as described in the following sentence) the proxy statement discloses the nature of the matter and how the Board intends to exercise its discretion to vote on such matter, unless we are notified of the proposal on or before December 6, 2013, and the stockholder satisfies the other requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2). If we first receive notice of such matter after December 6, 2013 and the matter nonetheless is permitted to be presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting, the Board may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any such matter without including any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with the requirements described above and other applicable requirements.

A copy of the full text of the bylaw provisions discussed above may be obtained by writing to NGP Capital Resources Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 909 Fannin, Suite 3800, Houston, Texas 77010.
