Investment Objective and Policy Babson Capital Corporate Investors (the "Trust") is a closed-end management investment company, first offered to the public in 1971, whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "MCI". The Trust's share price can be found in the financial section of most newspapers under either the New York Stock Exchange listings or Closed-End Fund Listings.
The Trust's investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a current yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust's principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations. Such direct placement securities may, in some cases, be accompanied by equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt securities (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay principal. Babson Capital Management LLC ("Babson Capital") manages the Trust on a total return basis. The Trust distributes substantially all of its net income to shareholders each year. Accordingly, the Trust pays dividends to shareholders in January, May, August, and November. The Trust pays dividends to its shareholders in cash, unless the shareholder elects to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. Form N-Q The Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. This information is available (i) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov; and (ii) at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC (which information on their operation may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330). A complete schedule of portfolio holdings as of each quarter-end is available upon request by calling, toll-free, 866-399-1516. | Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures; Proxy Voting Record The Trustees of the Trust have delegated proxy voting responsibilities relating to the voting of securities held by the Trust to Babson Capital. A description of Babson Capital's proxy voting policies and procedures is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling, toll-free 866-399-1516; (2) on the Trust's website: http://www.babsoncapital.com/funds/closed-end-funds/babson-capital-corporate-investors; and (3) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) on the Trust's website: http://www.babsoncapital.com/funds/closed-end-funds/babson-capital-corporate-investors; and (2) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
Legal Matters The Trust has entered into contractual arrangements with an investment adviser, transfer agent and custodian (collectively "service providers") who each provide services to the Trust. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended beneficiaries of, these contractual arrangements, and these contractual arrangements are not intended to create any shareholder right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.
Under the Trust's Bylaws, any claims asserted against or on behalf of the Trust, including claims against Trustees and officers must be brought in courts located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust's registration statement and this shareholder report are not contracts between the Trust and its shareholders and do not give rise to any contractual rights or obligations or any shareholder rights other than any rights conferred explicitly be federal or state securities laws that may not be waived. | |

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
July 31, 2016
We are pleased to present the June 30, 2016 Quarterly Report of Babson Capital Corporate Investors (the "Trust"). At the Trust's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on April 22, 2016, Michael L. Klofas announced that he was retiring from Babson Capital and as President of the Trust, effective June 1st. The Trust also announced that Robert M. Shettle will succeed Mr. Klofas as President of the Trust effective June 1, 2016. Mr. Shettle is currently head of Babson Capital's Mezzanine and Private Equity Group, where he focuses on originating, analyzing, structuring and documenting mezzanine and private equity investments.
The Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on August 12, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 1, 2016. The Trust paid a $0.30 per share dividend for the preceding quarter. The Trust earned $0.28 per share of net investment income for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $0.24 per share, including $0.03 per share of non-recurring income, in the previous quarter.
During the second quarter, the net assets of the Trust increased to $285,537,748 or $14.48 per share compared to $282,588,113 or $14.35 per share on March 31, 2016. This translates into a 3.0% total return for the quarter, based on the change in the Trust's net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends. Longer term, the Trust returned 5.1%, 10.7%, 11.8%, 10.3%, and 13.7% for the 1, 3, 5, 10, and 25-year periods, respectively, based on the change in the Trust's net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends.
The Trust's share price increased 5.6% during the quarter, from $17.01 per share as of March 31, 2016 to $17.97 per share as of June 30, 2016. The Trust's market price of $17.97 per share equates to a 24.3% premium over the June 30, 2016 net asset value per share of $14.48. The Trust's average quarter-end premium for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods was 11.0%, 16.0% and 13.2%, respectively. U.S. equity markets, as approximated by the Russell 2000 Index, increased 3.8% for the quarter. U.S. fixed income markets, as approximated by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, increased 2.5% for the quarter.
The Trust closed five new private placement investments, as well as two add-on investments in existing portfolio companies, during the second quarter. The five new investments were in API Technologies Corp., CORA Health Services, Inc., Money Mailer Equity LLC, NSi Industries Holdings, Inc. and Software Paradigms International Group, LLC, while the add-on investments were in Church Services Holding Company and Handi Quilter Holding Company. A brief description of these investments can be found in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The total amount invested by the Trust in these transactions was $16,005,000.
Despite broad middle market acquisition activity metrics being notably lower than in 2015, our deal flow remained robust and our investment activity continued at an active pace during the second quarter. Barring any external shocks to the market, we expect deal flow to remain steady for the balance of the year and therefore, are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for new investment activity for the Trust in 2016. I say "cautiously" optimistic regarding the prospects for new investments due to the high purchase prices and debt levels that are increasingly present in middle market buyout transactions, combined with downward pressure on investment returns. Purchase multiples continue to be well above historical averages, and while leverage multiples appear to have decreased modestly, they are still well above historical averages. More recently, investment returns have been under some pressure as well, as new competitors enter the market due to the attractive yields the middle market offers relative to other market segments. While we are actively making new investments on behalf of the Trust, we do so cautiously and with credit discipline, consistent with our longstanding investment philosophy of seeking to take prudent levels of risk and getting paid appropriately for the risk taken. We are unwilling to provide financial leverage at levels we consider to be imprudent, an approach that has served us well over the long term and through various market cycles.
The Trust's existing portfolio remains in solid condition with the number of companies on our watch list and/or in default continuing to be below historical averages. We exited seven investments during the quarter, five of which resulted in realized gains while two long-time troubled investments, Transpac and NABCO, were realized at a loss. In two of the five successful exits, the Trust reinvested with the new buyer. We also had one Company prepay the remaining balance of its debt instruments held by the Trust. Of note, we have a notable list of portfolio companies that we expect to be sold over the next two to three quarters.
While the Trust was able to maintain its $0.30 per share quarterly dividend for the second quarter, we must make note again, as we have for over two years now, that this dividend level may not be sustainable. The Trust's net investment income per share from recurring sources of $0.28 for the second quarter was once again below the dividend rate. Net investment income per share from recurring sources has been below the dividend rate for every quarter since the third quarter of 2013. As we have discussed in prior reports, net investment income is down due principally to the considerable reduction in the number of private debt securities in the portfolio resulting from the high level of exit and

prepayment activity that occurred in 2013 and 2014, and the challenges of replacing that level of exits and prepayments in a prudent and timely manner. With several strong recent quarters of new investment activity, we have made some progress in rebuilding the private portfolio, but it is still below its former size. We have been able to maintain the $0.30 per share quarterly dividend with current income, non-recurring income and earnings carried forward from prior quarters. Over time, however, the Trust's dividend-paying ability tends to be correlated with its recurring earnings capacity. This quarter, the Trust utilized $0.02 per share of earnings carry-forwards to maintain the $0.30 per share quarterly dividend. The Trust continues to have earnings carry-forwards which should be available to supplement recurring income for the next few quarters. But unless market conditions change dramatically, it is still unlikely that we will be able to completely rebuild the portfolio back to its former size in the near term and grow net investment income. As a result, barring an unforeseen favorable change in the market, it is a distinct possibility that in 2017 we will have to reduce the dividend from the current $0.30 per share quarterly rate. As we move through the coming quarters, we and the Board of Trustees will continue to evaluate the current and future earnings capacity of the Trust and formulate a dividend strategy that is consistent with that earnings level.
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of Babson Capital Corporate Investors.
Sincerely,
Robert M. Shettle
President

(a) | Calculated using average shares. |
(b) | Net asset value return represents portfolio returns based on change in the Trust's net asset value assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions which differs from the total investment return based on the Trust's market value due to the difference between the Trust's net asset value and the market value of its shares outstanding; past performance is no guarantee of future results. |
(c) | As additional information, this ratio is included to reflect the taxes paid on retained long-term gains. These taxes paid are netted against realized capital gains in the Statement of Operations. The taxes paid are treated as deemed distributions and a credit for the taxes paid is passed on to the shareholders. |

32 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. History Babson Capital Corporate Investors (the "Trust") commenced operations in 1971 as a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 14, 1985, approved by shareholders, the Trust was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective November 28, 1985. The Trust is a diversified closed-end management investment company. Babson Capital Management LLC ("Babson Capital"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"), acts as its investment adviser. The Trust's investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a current yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust's principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations. Such direct placement securities may, in some cases, be accompanied by equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay capital. On January 27, 1998, the Board of Trustees authorized the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust ("CI Subsidiary Trust") for the purpose of holding certain investments. The results of CI Subsidiary Trust are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. Footnote 2.D below discusses the Federal tax consequences of the CI Subsidiary Trust. Determination of Fair Value The determination of the fair value of the Trust's investments is the responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). The Trustees have adopted procedures for the valuation of the Trust's securities and has delegated responsibility for applying those procedures to Babson Capital. Babson Capital has established a Pricing Committee which is responsible for setting the guidelines used in following the procedures adopted by the Trustees and ensuring that those guidelines are being followed. Babson Capital considers all relevant factors that are reasonably available, through either public information or information directly available to Babson Capital, when determining the fair value of a security. The Trustees meet at least once each quarter to approve the value of the Trust's portfolio securities as of the close of business on the last business day of the preceding quarter. This valuation requires the approval of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital. In approving valuations, the Trustees will consider reports by Babson Capital analyzing each portfolio security in accordance with the procedures and guidelines referred to above, which include the relevant factors referred to below. Babson Capital has agreed to provide such reports to the Trust at least quarterly. The consolidated financial statements include private placement restricted securities valued at $210,254,675 (73.63% of net assets) as of June 30, 2016 whose values have been estimated by the Trustees based on the process described above in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value: Corporate Public Securities – Corporate Bonds, Preferred Stocks and Common Stocks 2. Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Trust in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Trustees have determined that the Trust is an investment company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, for the purpose of financial reporting. A. Fair Value Measurements: Under U.S. GAAP, fair value represents the price that should be received to sell an asset (exit price) in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The Trust uses external independent third-party pricing services to determine the fair values of its Corporate Public Securities. At June 30, 2016, 100% of the carrying value of these investments was from external pricing services. In the event that the primary pricing service does not provide a price, the Trust utilizes the pricing provided by a secondary pricing service. Public debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Trust's pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where significant market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where significant market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal underlying prepayments, collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)(Unaudited)
The Trust's investments in bank loans are normally valued at the bid quotation obtained from dealers in loans by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Trust's valuation policies and procedures approved by the Trustees. Public equity securities listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sales price of that day. Annually, Babson Capital conducts reviews of the primary pricing vendors to validate that the inputs used in that vendors' pricing process are deemed to be market observable as defined in the standard. While Babson Capital is not provided access to proprietary models of the vendors, the reviews have included on-site walk-throughs of the pricing process, methodologies and control procedures for each asset class and level for which prices are provided. The review also includes an examination of the underlying inputs and assumptions for a sample of individual securities across asset classes, credit rating levels and various durations, a process Babson Capital continues to perform annually. In addition, the pricing vendors have an established challenge process in place for all security valuations, which facilitates identification and resolution of prices that fall outside expected ranges. Babson Capital believes that the prices received from the pricing vendors are representative of prices that would be received to sell the assets at the measurement date (exit prices) and are classified appropriately in the hierarchy. Corporate Restricted Securities – Corporate Bonds The fair value of certain notes is determined using an internal model that discounts the anticipated cash flows of those notes using a specific discount rate. Changes to that discount rate are driven by changes in general interest rates, probabilities of default and credit adjustments. The discount rate used within the models to discount the future anticipated cash flows is considered a significant unobservable input. Significant increases/(decreases) in the discount rate would result in a significant (decrease)/increase to the notes' fair value. | The fair value of certain distressed notes is based on an enterprise waterfall methodology which is discussed in the equity security valuation section below. Corporate Restricted Securities – Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Partnerships & LLC's The fair value of equity securities is determined using an enterprise waterfall methodology. Under this methodology, the enterprise value of the company is first estimated and that value is then allocated to the company's outstanding debt and equity securities based on the documented priority of each class of securities in the capital structure. Generally, the waterfall proceeds from senior debt tranches of the capital structure to senior then junior subordinated debt, followed by each class of preferred stock and finally the common stock. To estimate a company's enterprise value, the company's trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is multiplied by a valuation multiple. Both the company's EBITDA and valuation multiple are considered significant unobservable inputs. Significant increases/(decreases) to the company's EBITDA and/or valuation multiple would result in significant increases/ (decreases) to the equity value. An increase/(decrease) to the discount would result in a (decrease)/increase to the equity value. Short-Term Securities Short-term securities, of sufficient credit quality, with more than sixty days to maturity are valued at fair value, using external independent third-party services. Short-term securities having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. |

Income, Gains and Losses included in Net Increase in Net Assets resulting from Operations for the period are presented in the following accounts on the Statement of Operations: | D. Federal Income Taxes: The Trust has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income to its shareholders. In any year when net long-term capital gains are realized by the Trust, management, after evaluating the prevailing economic conditions, will recommend that the Trustees either designate the net realized long-term gains as undistributed and pay the Federal capital gains taxes thereon or distribute all or a portion of such net gains. The Trust is taxed as a regulated investment company and is therefore limited as to the amount of non-qualified income that it may receive as the result of operating a trade or business, e.g. the Trust's pro rata share of income allocable to the Trust by a partnership operating company. The Trust's violation of this limitation could result in the loss of its status as a regulated investment company, thereby subjecting all of its net income and capital gains to corporate taxes prior to distribution to its shareholders. The Trust, from time-to-time, identifies investment opportunities in the securities of entities that could cause such trade or business income to be allocable to the Trust. The CI Subsidiary Trust (described in Footnote 1 above) was formed in order to allow investment in such securities without adversely affecting the Trust's status as a regulated investment company. The CI Subsidiary Trust is not taxed as a regulated investment company. Accordingly, prior to the Trust receiving any distributions from the CI Subsidiary Trust, all of the CI Subsidiary Trust's taxable income and realized gains, including non-qualified income and realized gains, is subject to taxation at prevailing corporate tax rates. As of June 30, 2016, the CI Subsidiary Trust has incurred income tax expense of $323,223. | ||||||||||

B. Accounting for Investments:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on bonds held using the yield-to-maturity method. The Trust does not accrue income when payment is delinquent and when management believes payment is questionable.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes on the identified cost method.
C. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. As of June 30, 2016, the CI Subsidiary Trust has a deferred tax liability of $1,268,290.
The Trust recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and precedents. If this threshold is met, the Trust measures the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Trust has evaluated and determined that the tax positions did not have a material effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Each of the Trust's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E. Distributions to Shareholders:
The Trust records distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, on the ex-dividend date. The Trust's net investment income dividend is declared four times per year, in April, July, October, and December. The Trust's net realized capital gain distribution, if any, is declared in December. |
| C. Basis For Board Renewal of Contract
At a meeting of the Trustees held on April 22, 2016, the Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or Babson Capital) unanimously approved a one year continuance of the Contract.
Prior to the meeting, the Trustees requested and received from Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to the Trust, a memorandum describing the Trustees' legal responsibilities in connection with their review and reapproval of the Contract. The Trustees also requested and received from Babson Capital extensive written and oral information regarding among other matters including: the principal terms of the Contract; the reasons why Babson Capital was proposing the continuance of the Contract; Babson Capital and its personnel; the Trust's investment performance, including comparative performance information; the nature and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to the Trust; financial strength of Babson Capital; the fee arrangements between Babson Capital and the Trust; fee and expense information, including comparative fee and expense information; profitability of the advisory arrangement to Babson Capital; and "fallout" benefits to Babson Capital resulting from the Contract.
Among other things, the Trustees discussed and considered with management (i) the aforementioned guidance provided by Ropes & Gray LLP and the information provided by Babson Capital prior to the meeting and (ii) the reasons Babson Capital put forth in support of its recommendation that the Trustees approve the continuance of the Contract. These considerations are summarized below.
| ||
3. | Investment Services Contract
A. Services: Under an Investment Services Contract (the "Contract") with the Trust, Babson Capital agrees to use its best efforts to present to the Trust a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Trust. Babson Capital represents the Trust in any negotiations with issuers, investment banking firms, securities brokers or dealers and other institutions or investors relating to the Trust's investments. Under the Contract, Babson Capital also provides administration of the day-to-day operations of the Trust and provides the Trust with office space and office equipment, accounting and bookkeeping services, and necessary executive, clerical and secretarial personnel for the performance of the foregoing services.
B. Fee: For its services under the Contract, Babson Capital is paid a quarterly investment advisory fee of 0.3125% of the net asset value of the Trust as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter, which is approximately equal to 1.25% annually. A majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital, approve the valuation of the Trust's net assets as of such day. |
| Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be provided by Babson Capital to the Trust
In evaluating the scope and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to the Trust, the Trustees considered, among other factors: (i) the scope of services required to be provided by Babson Capital under the Contract; (ii) Babson Capital's ability to find and negotiate private placement securities having equity features that are consistent with the stated investment objectives of the Trust; (iii) the experience and quality of Babson Capital's staff; (iv) the strength of Babson Capital's financial condition; (v) the nature of the private placement market compared to public markets (including the fact that finding, analyzing, negotiating and servicing private placement securities is more labor-intensive than buying and selling public securities and the administration of private placement securities is more extensive, expensive, and requires greater time and expertise than a portfolio of only public securities); (vi) the potential advantages afforded to the Trust by its ability to co-invest in negotiated private placements with MassMutual and its affiliates; and (vii) the expansion of the scope of services provided by Babson Capital as a result of recent regulatory and legislative initiatives that have required increased legal, compliance and business attention and diligence. Based on such considerations, the Trustees concluded that, overall, they are satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Babson Capital, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contract. |

| Investment Performance
The Trustees also examined the Trust's short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term performance as compared against various benchmark indices presented at the meeting, which showed that the Trust had outperformed such indices for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. In addition, the Trustees considered comparisons of the Trust's performance with the performance of (i) selected closed-end investment companies and funds that may invest in private placement securities and/or bank loans; (ii) selected business development companies with comparable types of investments; and (iii) investment companies included in the Lipper closed-end bond universe. It was acknowledged that, while such comparisons are helpful in judging performance, they are not directly comparable in terms of types of investments due to the fact that business development companies often report returns based on market value, which is affected by factors other than the performance of the underlying portfolio investments. Based on these considerations and the detailed performance information provided to the Trustees at the regular Board meetings each quarter, the Trustees concluded that the Trust's absolute and relative performance over time have been sufficient to warrant renewal of the Contract.
Advisory Fee/Costs of Services Provided and Profitability/ Manager's "Fall-Out" Benefits
In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the advisory fee paid by the Trust to Babson Capital under the Contract, Babson Capital noted that it was unaware of any registered closed-end investment companies that are directly comparable to the Trust in terms of the types of investments and percentages invested in private placement securities (which require more extensive advisory and administrative services than a portfolio of publicly traded securities, as previously discussed) other than Babson Capital Participation Investors, which also is advised by Babson Capital. Under the terms of its Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Contract, Babson Capital Participation Investors is charged a quarterly investment advisory fee of 0.225% of net asset value as of the end of each quarter, which is approximately equal to 0.90% annually. In considering the fee rate provided in the Contract, the Trustees noted the advisory fee charged by Babson Capital to Tower Square Capital Partners, L.P., and Tower Square Capital Partners II, III and IV, L.P., each a private mezzanine fund also managed by Babson Capital, and that the fee Babson Capital Participation Investors charged compares favorably. | At the request of the Trustees, Babson Capital provided information concerning the profitability of Babson Capital's advisory relationship with the Trust. The Trustees also considered the non-economic benefits Babson Capital and its affiliates derived from its relationship with the Trust, including the reputational benefits derived from having the Trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the de minimis amount of commissions resulting from the Trust's portfolio transactions used by Babson Capital for third-party soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees recognized that Babson Capital should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for services provided to the Trust and, based on their review, concluded that they were satisfied that Babson Capital's historical level of profitability from its relationship with the Trust was not excessive and that the advisory fee under the Contract is reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the concept of economies of scale and possible advisory fee reductions if the Trust were to grow in assets. Given that the Trust is not continuously offering shares, such growth comes principally from retained net realized gain on investments and dividend reinvestment. The Trustees also examined the breakpoint features of selected competitive funds and noted that the minimum starting point for fee reductions in those funds was at least $200 million, close to the value of the Trust's current net assets. The Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the fee schedule under the Contract was currently acceptable given the Trust's current size and closed-end fund structure.

| 4. | Senior Secured Indebtedness
MassMutual holds the Trust's $30,000,000 Senior Fixed Rate Convertible Note (the "Note") issued by the Trust on November 15, 2007. The Note is due November 15, 2017 and accrues interest at 5.28% per annum. MassMutual, at its option, can convert the principal amount of the Note into common shares. The dollar amount of principal would be converted into an equivalent dollar amount of common shares based upon the average price of the common shares for ten business days prior to the notice of conversion.

| DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Babson Capital Corporate Investors (the "Trust") offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides a simple way for shareholders to add to their holdings in the Trust through the receipt of dividend shares issued by the Trust or through the investment of cash dividends in Trust shares purchased in the open market. A shareholder may join the Plan by filling out and mailing an authorization card to DST Systems, Inc., the Transfer Agent.
Participating shareholders will continue to participate until they notify the Transfer Agent, in writing, of their desire to terminate participation. Unless a shareholder elects to participate in the Plan, he or she will, in effect, have elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash. Participating shareholders may also make additional contributions to the Plan from their own funds. Such contributions may be made by personal check or other means in an amount not less than $10 nor more than $5,000 per quarter. Cash contributions must be received by the Transfer Agent at least five days (but no more then 30 days) before the payment date of a dividend or distribution.
Whenever the Trust declares a dividend payable in cash or shares, the Transfer Agent, acting on behalf of each participating shareholder, will take the dividend in shares only if the net asset value is lower than the market price plus an estimated brokerage commission as of the close of business on the valuation day. The valuation day is the last day preceding the day of dividend payment.
When the dividend is to be taken in shares, the number of shares to be received is determined by dividing the cash dividend by the net asset value as of the close of business on the valuation date or, if greater than net asset value, 95% of the closing share price. If the net asset value of the shares is higher than the market value plus an estimated commission, the Transfer Agent, consistent with obtaining the best price and execution, will buy shares on the open market at current prices promptly after the dividend payment date.
The reinvestment of dividends does not, in any way, relieve participating shareholders of any federal, state or local tax. For federal income tax purposes, the amount reportable in respect of a dividend received in newly-issued shares of the Trust will be the fair market value of the shares received, which will be reportable as ordinary income and/or capital gains.
As compensation for its services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee of 5% of any dividend and cash contribution (in no event in excess of $2.50 per distribution per shareholder.)
Any questions regarding the Plan should be addressed to DST Systems, Inc., Transfer Agent for Babson Capital Corporate Investors' Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, P.O. Box 219086, Kansas City, MO 64121-9086. |
