To the shareholders of PMC Commercial Trust and PMC Capital, Inc.:

     As you know, we have scheduled annual meetings for shareholders of PMC Commercial and PMC Capital for December 30, 2003. PMC Commercial’s annual meeting will be held at 11:00 AM at the principal executive offices of PMC Commercial located at 18111 Preston Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75252. PMC Capital’s annual meeting will be held at 9:00 AM at the principal executive offices of PMC Capital located at 18111 Preston Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75252.

     We are sending this letter to shareholders of both PMC Commercial and PMC Capital to inform you of certain changes that have taken place since we mailed proxy materials to you on or about November 12, 2003. In those proxy materials, we disclosed that Irvin Borish, Martha Greenberg, Thomas Hamill, Barry Imber, Fredric Rosemore, Lance Rosemore, Theodore Samuel, Barry Berlin, Mary Brownmiller, Cheryl Murray, Andrew Rosemore and Jan Salit, each of whom is an officer and/or director of PMC Capital, solely in his or her respective capacity as a shareholder of PMC Capital, entered into a voting agreement with PMC Commercial to vote their shares in favor of the merger and related transactions. We also disclosed that each of Nathan Cohen, Martha Greenberg, Roy Greenberg, Irving Munn, Andrew Rosemore, Lance Rosemore, Ira Silver, Barry Berlin, Mary Brownmiller, Cheryl Murray and Jan Salit, each of whom is an officer and/or director of PMC Commercial, solely in his or her respective capacity as a shareholder of PMC Commercial, have entered into a voting agreement with PMC Capital to vote their shares in favor of the merger and related transactions.

     The respective parties to the voting agreements with PMC Commercial and PMC Capital rescinded the voting agreements effective December 10, 2003. The recessions were effected in connection with exemptive relief being sought for the merger from the Securities and Exchange Commission as required under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     In addition to the rescission of the PMC Capital and PMC Commercial voting agreements, the board of directors of PMC Capital and the board of trust managers of PMC Commercial each agreed to waive the condition in the merger agreement that the voting agreements be in full force and effect at the time of the closing of the merger.

     The board of trust managers of PMC Commercial has unanimously approved the merger and has determined that the merger is in the best interest of PMC Commercial’s shareholders. The board of trust managers recommends that PMC Commercial shareholders vote “FOR” the merger, the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and “FOR” approval of all other items to be voted upon at the annual meeting.

     The board of directors of PMC Capital has unanimously approved the merger and has determined that the merger is in the best interest of PMC Capital’s shareholders. The board of directors recommends that PMC Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the merger, the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and “FOR” approval of all other items to be voted upon at the annual meeting.

     A new proxy card is included with this letter. You may use the new card to vote on the items to be considered at the meeting. If you dated, signed and returned the proxy card sent to you previously, or in the case of PMC Commercial shareholders, you voted via telephone or the Internet, you do not need to send us the enclosed card unless you want to change your vote. For a discussion of the matters before the meeting, please refer to the proxy statement mailed to shareholders on November 12, 2003.
