TRIPLEPOINT VENTURE GROWTH BDC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

(unaudited)

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and as of December 31, 20152016

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

Notes applicable to the investments presented in the foregoing tables:

Unless otherwise noted, all of the investments in the foregoing tables are in entities that are domiciled in the United States and/or have a principal place of business in the United States.

No investment represents a 5% or greater interest in any outstanding class of voting security of the portfolio company.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, unless otherwise noted, certain of the debt investments and certain of the warrants of TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”), with an aggregate fair value of approximately $298.9$240.2 million and $235.2$363.0 million, respectively, were pledged for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Notes applicable to the debt investments presented in the foregoing tables:

Interest rate is the annual interest rate on the debt investment and does not include any original issue discount, end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or any additional fees related to the investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees or prepayment fees.

The EOT payments are contractual and fixed interest payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed percentage of the original principal balance of the loan unless otherwise noted. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the loan or lease prior to its payment.

Some of the terms noted in the foregoing tables are subject to change based on certain events such as prepayments.

Notes applicable to the equipment leases presented in the foregoing tables:

At the end of the term of certain equipment leases, the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying assets at fair market value in certain cases subject to a cap, return the equipment or continue to finance the assets.

Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser:

determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the Company’s portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes;

executes, closes, services and monitors the investments the Company makes;

determines the securities and other assets that the Company purchases, retains or sells;

performs due diligence on prospective investments; and

provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee for its investment advisory and management services consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee is ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds. For services rendered under the Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of its two most recently completed calendar quarters. Such amount is appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuance or repurchases during a calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated.

The incentive fee, which provides the Adviser with a share of the income it generates for the Company, consists of two components—investment income and capital gains—which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not payable.

20


Under the investment income component, the Company pays the Adviser 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision pursuant to which the Adviser receives all of such income in excess of the 2.0% level but less than 2.5% and subject to a total return requirement. The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, subject to the total return provision discussed below, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, the Adviser receives 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the 2.0% hurdle rate did not apply. The foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. In other words, any investment income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch-up” provision and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, realized gains and losses and unrealized gainsappreciation and lossesdepreciation since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. The Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act on March 5, 2014.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where it incurs a loss, subject to the total return requirement described in the preceding paragraph. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company may pay the applicable incentive fee even if it has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized losses subject to the total return requirement. The Company’s net investment


income used to calculate this component of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuance or repurchase during the current quarter.

Under the capital gains component of the incentive fee, the Company pays the Adviser at the end of each calendar year 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of that year, computed net of aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized losses through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. For the foregoing purpose, the Company’s “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” does not include any unrealized gains. It should be noted that the Company accrues an incentive fee for accounting purposes taking into account any unrealized gains in accordance with GAAP. However, the actual incentive fee payable to the Adviser related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains, net of realized and unrealized losses for the period. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee is payable for such year. Additionally, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.

The base management fee accrued and payable, income incentive fee accrued and payable, and capital gains incentive fee accrued are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and summarized in the table below. The Adviser has agreed to exclude the U.S. Treasury bills acquired at the end of each applicable quarter in the calculation of gross assets for purposes of determining its base management fee. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million in each period, in income incentive fee, or $0.10 per share. The Company did not incur an income incentive fee in the first six months of 2016 and the income incentive fee payable in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was slightly lower due to the total return requirement under the income component of the Company’s fee structure as described above. This resulted in approximately $2.0 million of reduced expense and additionalThere were no net income, or $0.12 per share to stockholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred approximately $0.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in incentive fee, or $0.01 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively. Sincerealized capital gains since the inception of the Company the realized gains offset the realized losses and, thus, no capital gains incentive fee was earned or is payable. The Company had cumulative net realized and unrealized losses as ofduring the quarterthree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, and, as a result, did not accrue any capital gain incentive fee. The Company accrued $0.2 million inno capital gains incentive fee duringfees were recorded for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015 based on cumulative realized2017 and unrealized gains as of SeptemberJune 30, 2015. The Company had net unrealized losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and therefore, reversed previously accrued capital incentive fees of approximately $81 thousand.2016.

The table above presents the base management and incentive fees accrued during the period and these fees are paid in the quarter after they are earned. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, approximately $1.3$1.6 million and $4.1$3.0 million, respectively, of base management fees earned in prior periods were paid, and approximately $0$1.5 million and $1.5$2.7 million, respectively, of income incentive fees earned in prior periods were paid. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, approximately $1.4 million and $4.5$2.7 million, respectively, of base management fees earned in prior periods were paid, and approximately $1.6 million$0.0 and $5.1$1.5 million, respectively, of income incentive fees earned in prior periods were paid.

Administration Agreement

Prior to the commencement of operations, the Board approved an administration agreement dated February 18, 2014 (the “Administration Agreement”). The Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator is responsible for furnishing the Company with office facilities and equipment and providing the Company with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping services and other administrative services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of the Company’s required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial and other records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports and other materials filed with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing net asset value (“NAV”), overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and printing and disseminating reports and other materials to the Company’s stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance.


Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator’s overhead resulting from its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of the chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs. The Administrator engages a sub-administrator to provide certain administrative services. In addition, if requested to provide significant managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies, the Administrator is paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such companies for providing this assistance. 

For both the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of which approximately $63$55 thousand and $59$62 thousand, respectively, were paid or payable to third party service providers. For both the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were approximately $1.2$0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of which approximately $184$124 thousand and $186$122 thousand, respectively, were paid or payable to third party service providers.

Note 4. Investments

The Company measures the value of its investments at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC, or “ASC Topic 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”)or “FASB”. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Valuation Committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent third-party valuation firms,agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The BoardAdviser considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and generally selects a value within that range that most represents fair value based on current market conditions as well as other relevant factors.factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant. The Board makes thisdetermines fair value determinationof its investments on at least on a quarterly basis.basis or at such other times when the Board feels it would be appropriate to do so given the circumstances. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below.

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.

Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.

23


Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and


excludesexcluding transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Adviser’s professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Adviser’s senior investment team;

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm. However, the Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 1.0% of the Company’s gross assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of the Company’s gross assets) independently reviewed, given the expenses involved in connection therewith;

The Valuation Committee then reviews these preliminary valuations and makes fair value recommendations to the Board; and

The Board then discusses valuations and determines, in good faith, the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio based on the input of the Adviser, the respective independent valuation firms and the Valuation Committee.

Debt Investments

The debt investments identified on the condensed consolidated schedules of investments are loans and equipment leases made to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by a select group of leading venture capital investors. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and thus the AdviserAdviser’s senior management team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.

To estimate the fair value of debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of each debt investment, which includes original issue discount, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions which are similar in nature to these debt investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.

This valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance and the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Changes in these unobservable inputs could result in significantly different fair value measurements.

24


Under certain circumstances, an alternative technique may be used to value certain debt investments that better reflected the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arm’s length transaction, or the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow modelsmodel when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants

TheWarrant fair value of warrants isvalues are primarily estimateddetermined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors, but not limited to those listed below. Increases or decreases in any of the following:unobservable inputs described below could result in a material change in fair value:

Underlying enterprise value of the issuer based on available information, including any information regarding the most recent financing round of borrower. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or the use of recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques included option pricing models, including back solve techniques, probability weighted expected return models and other techniques as determined to be appropriate.

Underlying enterprise value of the issuer is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of borrower funding. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or approaches that utilize recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure to determine enterprise value. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock to be received upon the exercise of the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and


volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include option pricing models, such as back solve techniques, probability weighted expected return models and other techniques as determined to be appropriate.

Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value.

The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value.

Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on the Adviser’s judgment about the general industry environment. Changes in this unobservable input could result in a significantly different fair value.

Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrants are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrants in each financial reporting period. Warrants may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrants. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value.

Under certain circumstances alternative techniques may be used to value certain warrants that better reflect the warrants’ fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.

These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments which do not have an active publicobservable market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.

25


Equity Investments

The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third party round of equity financing subsequent to its investment. The Company may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions of comparable companies to estimate fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment.

The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments which do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.

Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations as of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016. The following is a summary by investment typeCompany transfers investments in and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 as of the fair value according to inputs used in valuing investments listedbeginning balance sheet date, based on changes in the accompanying condensed consolidated schedulesuse of investments as of Septemberobservable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period.

The following tables present additional information about Level 3 investments measured at fair value for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the net unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values for all but one of the Company’s debt investments other than KnCMiner AB were estimated using discounted cash flow models based on anticipated cash flows and a discount rate deemed most appropriate for each investment given the facts and circumstances specific to each portfolio company and market yields at the reporting date. The fair values for the Company’s debt investments in KnCMiner AB includesinclude risk and time discounted expected recoveries including cash from asset sales completed as well as preferred shares received from GoGreen Light AB, whowhich acquired certain assets from KnCMiner AB. Such preferred shares entitle the Company to receive annual cash distributions based on a percentage of the net income of GoGreen Light AB. For

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, fair values for all but two warrant positions fair values were estimated using an Option-Pricing Method that values individual equity classes based on their economic rights and preferences using the Black Scholes Option-Pricing Model. Two warrant positions were valued using a combination of the Option-Pricing Method and the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method given the outlook for those portfolio companies. TheAs of June 30, 2017, all but four equity investments were valued using the market approach. The fair market value for four investments as of June 30, 2017 was derived based on the last equity financing round. As of December 31, 2016, all the equity investments were valued using the market approach.

The range of the various assumptions and weighted averages of these assumptions are summarized in the tables above.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had pledged certain of its debt investments and certain of its warrantswarrant investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $298.9$240.2 million and $235.2$363.0 million, respectively, for borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Note 5. Credit Risk


Debt investments may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic, economic and political developments, may significantly affect the value of these investments. In addition, the value of these investments may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuate.

In many instances, the portfolio company’s ability to repay the debt investments is dependent on additional funding by its venture capital investors, a future sale or an initial public offering. The value of these investments may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan.

Note 6. Borrowings

Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2014, the Company, along with its Financing Subsidiary as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, (“Deutsche Bank”), acting as administrative agent and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided the Company with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (“(the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In August 2014, the Company amended itsthe Revolving Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there-underthereunder by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate, subjectaggregate.

Pursuant to borrowing base requirements.

Effective as of a January 2016the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years,effective as of January 2016, borrowings under this revolvingthe Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) a margin of 3.0% during the revolving period and 4.5% during the amortization period. Borrowings under this revolvingthe Revolving Credit Facility are secured only by the assets of the Financing Subsidiary. The Company agreed to pay Deutsche Bank AG a syndication fee in 12 monthly installments, of approximately 1% of the committed facility amount. The Company also agreed to pay to Deutsche Bank AG a fee to act as administrative agent under this revolvingthe Revolving Credit Facility and to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee of 0.65% multiplied by such lender’s commitment on the effective date payable in 12 equal monthly installments and (ii) a fee of approximately 0.75% per annum offor any unused borrowings under thisthe Revolving Credit Facility on a monthly basis. This revolvingThe Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to an advance rate limitation of approximately 55% of the applicable net loan balance of assets held by the Financing Subsidiary, maintenance of minimum net worth at an agreed level, a ratio of total assets to total indebtedness of not less than approximately 2:1, a key man clause relating to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. James P. Labe, and the Company’s President and Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Sajal K. Srivastava, and eligibility requirements, including but not limited to geographic and industry concentration limitations and certain loan grade classifications. Furthermore, events of default under thisthe Revolving Credit Facility include, among other things, (i) a payment default; (ii) a change of control; (iii) bankruptcy; (iv) a covenant default; and, (v) the Company’s failure to maintain compliance with RIC provisions at all times. The revolving period of the Revolving Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 21, 2019.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled approximately $146.5 million to eight and twelvenine portfolio companies respectively, totaled $115.5 million and approximately $190.0$117.4 million to nine portfolio companies, respectively, of which $38.0$25.0 million and $50.0$60.0 million, respectively, was dependent upon the portfolio companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Of the $115.5approximately $146.5 million of unfunded commitments as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, $38.52017, approximately $36.1 million will expire in 2016, $72.02017, $75.4 million will expire during 2017,2018, and $5.0$35.0 million will expire during 2018,2019, if not drawn prior to expiration.

The Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions whichthat allow it relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

The tables above also provide the fair value of the Company’s unfunded commitment liability totaling approximately $1.6 million and $1.2 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015 totaling approximately $1.4 million and $1.1 million,2016, respectively. The fair value at the inception of the delay draw


credit agreements is equal to the fees and warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments and is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

These liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of financial instruments. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. The below table provides additional details regarding the Company’s unfunded commitments activity during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.

All per share activity is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period, except net increase (decrease) in net assets from capital share transactions, which is based on the common shares outstanding as of the relevant balance sheet date. The public offering of common stock in 2015 was issued at a price in excess of net asset value (“NAV”) as of the date of issuance.

(2)

Total return based on net asset value (“NAV”)NAV is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share. The total return is for the period shown and is not annualized.

(3)

Total return based on stock price is the change in the ending stock price of the Company’s common stock plus distributions paid during the period assuming participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning stock price of the Company’s common stock.

Note 10. Equity

In 2014,Since inception, the Company has issued 9,840,66516,494,683 shares of common stock through an initial public offering, and a concurrent private placement offering and a follow-on offering. The Company received net proceeds from these offerings of approximately $143.3 million. On March 27, 2015, the Company priced a public offering of 6,500,000 shares of its common stock, raising approximately $93.7$237.5 million, after offering costs. On April 29, 2015, the Company received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 sharesnet of the Company’s common stock as the result of underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option. Offering costs of approximately $0.9 million were borne by the Company and charged against paid-in capital. The Adviser agreed to pay approximately $3.7 million, which represents a portion of the market price discount and the entire underwriting sales load which amounts are not subject to recoupment fromand offering costs paid by the Company.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan for its stockholders, which is an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan. Under this plan, if the Company declares a cash distribution to stockholders, the amount of such distribution is automatically reinvested


in additional shares of common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of the dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder receives cash distributions.

Information on the proceeds raised along with any related underwriting sales load and associated offering expenses, and the price at which common stock was issued by the Company, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and the year ended December 31, 20152016 is provided in the following tables.

Note 11. Distributions

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In order to maintain its ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of its net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, to avoid a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of the Company’s undistributed income, the Company must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of the Company’s ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which the Company’s capital gains exceed the Company’s capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by the Company to use its taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. For the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company was subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and the Company may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, the Company is liable for the tax only on the amount by which the Company does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. The character of income and gains that the Company distributes is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash distributions per share since March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations).

during the six months ended June 30, 2017, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise specified, references to “the Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. and its subsidiaries.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp., our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements as to:

our future operating results;

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

our relationships with third parties including venture capital investors;

the impact and timing of our unfunded commitments;

the expected market for venture capital investments;

the performance of our existing portfolio and other investments we may make in the future;

the impact of investments that we expect to make;

actual and potential conflicts of interest with TriplePoint Capital LLC (“TPC”) and TPVG Advisers LLC (our “Adviser”LLC’s (“Adviser”) and its senior investment team and Investment Committee;

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

our expected financings and investments;

the ability of our Adviser to attract, retain and have access to highly talented professionals, including our Adviser’s senior management team;

our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),RIC and as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);BDC;

the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;  

a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

42


interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly when we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly when we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars; and

the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2014.

Our shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “TPVG”. Our 6.75% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") are currently listed on Thethe NYSE under the symbol “TPVZ”. Our 5.75% Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TPVY”. For more information on the issuance of 2022 notes and redemption of 2020 Notes, see the Recent Developments section below.

Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by primarily lending with warrants to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors.

We were formed to expandserve as the primary financing source for the venture growth stage business segment of TPC’sTriplePoint Capital LLC’s global investment platform and are the primary vehicle through which TPC focuses its venture growth stage business.platform. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider devoted to serving venture capital-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity capital and complementary services throughout their lifespan. TPC is located on Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley and has a primary focus in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries.

We commenced investment activities on March 5, 2014. In order to expedite the ramp-up of our investment activities and further our ability to meet our investment objectives, on March 5, 2014, we acquired our initial portfolio. The net consideration paid was approximately $121.7 million which reflected approximately $123.7 million of investments less approximately $2.0 million of prepaid interest and fair value of unfunded commitments. We financed the acquisition of our initial portfolio by using a portion of a $200.0 million credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) provided by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”). On March 11, 2014, we completed our initial public offering and sold 9,840,665 shares of common stock (including 1,250,000 shares of common stock through the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option and the concurrent private placement of 257,332 shares of common stock to our Adviser’s senior team and other persons associated with TPC) at an offering price of $15.00 per share. We received approximately $141.6 million of net proceeds in connection with the initial public offering and concurrent private placement, net of the portion of the underwriting sales load and offering costs we paid. We usedIn 2015, we completed a portionfollow-on public offering of these net proceeds to pay down all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility and terminated the Bridge Facility in conjunction with such repayment.our common stock raising approximately $95.9 million after offering costs.

Borrowings

In February 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG acting as administrative agent and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided us with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (“(the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In August 2014, we amended the Revolving Credit Facility to increase the total commitments by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate. Effective as of a January 2016 amendment to the Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) a margin of 3.0% during the Revolving Credit Facility’s revolving period. The revolving period ofunder the amended Revolving Credit Facility endsexpires on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 21, 20192019..

On March 27, 2015, we priced a public offering of 6,500,000 shares of our common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. On April 29, 2015, we received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of our common stock as the result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option.

On August 4, 2015, we completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $48.3 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2020 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2015. On September 2, 2015, we issued an additional $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, after


the payment of the underwriting sales load and offering costs, as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional 2020 Notes. For more information on the redemption of 2020 Notes and issuance of 2022 Notes, see the Recent Developments section.

Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Asset Quality

Portfolio Composition

We originate and invest primarily in venture growth stage companies. Companies at the venture growth stage have distinct characteristics differentiating them from venture capital-backed companies at other stages in their development lifecycle. We invest primarily in (i) growth capital loans that have a secured collateral position and that are used by venture growth stage companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, (ii) equipment financings, which may be structured as loans or leases, that have a secured collateral position on specified mission-critical equipment, (iii) on a select basis, revolving loans that have a secured collateral position and that are used by venture growth stage companies to advance against inventory, components, accounts receivable, contractual or future billings, bookings, revenues, sales or cash payments and collections including proceeds from a sale, financing or the equivalent and (iv) direct equity investments in venture growth stage companies. In connection with our growth capital loans, equipment financings and revolving loans, we generally receive warrants that allow us to participate in any equity appreciation of our borrowers and enhance our overall investment returns.

* Does not include $40.0 million backlog of potential future commitments. See “Backlog of Potential Future Commitments” below.

Our credit agreements with our portfolio companies contain customary lending provisions which allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. We generally expect approximately $56.9 million in principal value.75% of our gross unfunded commitments to eventually be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods.

DuringThe fair value at the three months ended Septemberinception of the delay draw credit agreements with our portfolio companies is equal to the fees and/or warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, our realized gainsthe fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled approximately $1.1$1.6 million primarily due to proceeds from warrants and equity in Dollar Shave Club and warrants in Jet.com due to their respective acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our net realized losses totaled approximately $20.9 million, which consisted of realized losses on two debt investments ($14.3 million on Intermodal Data, Inc. and $6.1 million on HouseTrip Limited), and net realized losses of $0.8 million on warrants, which were offset by realized gains of $0.3 million on equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we realized losses on investments of approximately $0 and $0.3$1.2 million, respectively, as a resultand was included in “other accrued expenses and liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statements of writing off certain warrants in the first quarter of 2015.

Results of Operations

Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016.

An important measure of our financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses, including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gains (losses) on investments are the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments are the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $7.9 million, which was comprised of approximately $8.8 million of net investment income and approximately $0.9 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.55 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.50 per share.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $11.4 million,$3 thousand, which was comprised of approximately $6.5$5.0 million of net investment income and approximately $4.9$5.0 million of net realized and unrealized gains.losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.40$0.30 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.71$0.0 per share. Our core net investment income for

For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 was approximately $6.5 million, or $0.40 per share (please refer to the reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income below). For the three months ended September 30, 2015,2017, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $5.7$11.7 million, which was comprised of approximately $4.7$16.7 million of net investment income and approximately $1.0 million of net unrealized gains. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.28 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.34 per share. Our core investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.29 per share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $4.2 million, which was comprised of approximately $18.2 million of net investment income and approximately $14.0$5.0 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, net investment income was $1.12$1.05 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.26$0.73 per share. Our core net investment income for

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, was approximately $18.2 million, or $1.12 per share (please refer to the reconciliation of net investment income to


core net investment income below). For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our net increasedecrease in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $15.5$7.3 million, which was comprised of approximately $15.9$11.7 million of net investment income partially offset byand approximately $0.3$19.0 million of net realized losses and approximately $0.1 million of net unrealized losses. On a per share basis for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, net investment income was $1.10$0.72 per share and the net decrease in net assets from operations was $0.45 per share.

Our investment and other income increased by $6.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in prepayment income and other income from expiration or termination of unfunded commitments. Operating expenses increased by $2.4 million during the same period for the following reasons: higher income incentive fees of $2.0 million, higher interest expense of $0.2 million primarily due to the increased use of the Revolving Credit Facility, and higher base management fees of $0.3 million, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million and decrease in administration agreement expenses of $60 thousand. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our income incentive fee was reduced by $0.2 million due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in approximately $0.2 million of reduced expenses and equivalent additional net income, or $0.01 per share, to stockholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we did not incur an income incentive fee due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in approximately $0.6 million of reduced expenses and equivalent additional net investment income, or $0.04 per share, to stockholders. Net investment income increased during the above mentioned periods for the reasons noted above.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our income incentive fee was reduced by $0.6 million due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in approximately $0.6 million of reduced expense and equivalent additional net income, or $0.04 per share, to stockholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not incur an income incentive fee due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in approximately $1.9 million of reduced expense and equivalent additional net investment income, or $0.12 per share, to stockholders. Net investment income increased during the above mentioned periods for the reasons noted above.

Net realized losses were approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the acquisition of two portfolio companies, with $1.1 million related to warrant and equity losses for both portfolio companies and $0.6 million due to the reversal of accrued loan modification fees in conjunction with the pay-off of one portfolio company. Net realized losses were approximately $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to $20.5 million of realized losses on two debt investments and $0.8 million of realized losses on four warrants as the result of acquisitions of three portfolio companies and the ceasing of operations of one portfolio company. Net change in unrealized gains during the three months ended June 30, 2017, were approximately $0.8 million, as compared to a net change in unrealized gains of approximately $16.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. These changes are discussed in more detail in the tables below. Our net increase in net assets from operations was $1.07 per share.

Operating expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in incentive fee, due to higher returns during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $0.4 million greater than during the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarilyrealized losses on seven warrants as the result of our issuanceacquisitions of 2020 Notesportfolio companies, one warrant expiring out-of-the money and the ceasing of operations of one portfolio company.  Net change in August 2015. This was offset byunrealized losses during the six months ended June 30, 2017, were approximately $1.7 million as compared to a decreasenet change in the base management fee byunrealized gains of approximately $0.1 million and lower capital gains incentive fee by approximately $0.2$3.0 million during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 as compared to2016. These changes are discussed in more detail in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Net investment income and core net investment income during the three months ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $1.8 million greater and $1.6 million greater, respectively, than during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as the increase in investment and other income was partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.tables below. Our net increase in net assets resulting from operations duringchanged in each period for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $5.7 million higher than during the three months ended September 30, 2015, asreasons noted above.

Net change in addition to the increase in net investment income, our net realized and unrealized gains duringor losses in subsequent periods may be volatile as it depends on changes in the 2016 period were approximately $3.8 million greater thanmarket, changes in the net realizedunderlying performance of our portfolio companies and unrealized gains reported during the 2015 period.

This was offset by lower income incentive fee by approximately $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the total return requirement with respect to the incentive fee payable under our Investment Advisory Agreement, reducing the incentive fees payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net investment income and core net investment income during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $2.2 million greater and $2.4 million greater, respectively, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to the increase in investment and other income. Our net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $11.3 million less than during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as our net realized and unrealized losses during the 2016 period were approximately $13.6 million greater than the net realized and unrealized losses during the 2015 period.market factors.

Core net investment income, unlike GAAP net investment income, excludes accrued, but unearned, capital gains incentive fees. We believe an important measure of the investment income that we will be required to distribute each year is core net investment income, to the extent it is divergent from GAAP net investment income. Core net investment income, unlike GAAP net investment income, excludes accrued, but as yet unearned, capital gains incentive fees are accrued based on net unrealized gains but are not earned until realized gains occur.gains. Specifically, the capital gains component of the incentive fee is paid at the end of each calendar year and is 20.0% of our aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from commencement of operations through the end of the year, computed net of our aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and our aggregate cumulative unrealized losses through the end of such year. For the foregoing purpose, our “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” does not include any unrealized gains. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. No capital gains incentive fee was earned or was payable during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. For2017, respectively. Therefore, GAAP net investment income and core net investment income were the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we reported approximately $1.0 million in unrealized capital gains and $0.1 million in unrealized capital losses, respectively. We accrued approximately $0.2 million of capital gains incentive fee during the


three months ended September 30, 2015. We reversed previously accrued capital gains incentive fees of approximately $0.1 millionsame during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.respective periods.

Investment income includes interest income on our debt investments utilizing the effective yield method and includes cash interest income as well as the amortization of purchase premium, accretion of purchase discount, original issue discount, facilities fees, and the amortization and payment of the end-of-term (“EOT”) payments. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, investment income totaled approximately $11.2$14.5 million and $31.2$28.7 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the period held of approximately 15.1%19.9% and 14.7%18.2%, respectively. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, investment income totaled approximately $9.2$9.3 million and $28.8$20.0 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the period held of approximately 17.5%13.2% and 16.7%14.4%, respectively.

The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments is dependent on fundings and the performance of our loans, including prepayments. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, one of our portfolio companies fully prepaid their outstanding principal of approximately $10.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, three of our portfolio companies fully prepaid their outstanding principal of approximately $34.8 million and one of our portfolio companies made a partial prepayment of $5.0 million. The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments, excluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 13.7% and 13.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had prepayment of approximately $0.0 and $56.9 million, respectively, in principal value. The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments, excluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 17.5% and 15.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

We calculate weighted average annualized portfolio yields for periods shown as the annualized rates of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio at the beginning of each month in the period. The weighted average yields reported for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities. Should the portfolio companies choose to repay their loans earlier, our weighted average yields will increase for those debt investments affected but may reduce our weighted average yields on the remaining portfolio in future quarters. AsThe yield on our portfolio, growsexcluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 13.0% and seasons, we expect12.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The yield on our loans to be outstandingportfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 13.2% and 13.7%, respectively, for shorter periods than to maturitythe three and to reflect healthy prepayment activity.six months ended June 30, 2016.

The following table provides the weighted average annualized portfolio yield on our portfolio comprising of cash interest income, accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrants received, accretion of EOT payments and the accelerated receipt of EOT payments on prepayments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our total return per period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the distribution date per share was 6.7% and 5.7%, respectively, and our total return per period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the distribution date was 0.9% and 19.4%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our total return per period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the distribution date per share was 4.6% and (1.4)%, respectively, and our total return per period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the distribution date was 8.3% and (4.9)%, respectively.

Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments does not reflect operating expenses that may be incurred by us. In addition, our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures disclosed above do not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return based on NAV do not represent actual investment returns to stockholders. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures are subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates set forth above. Total return based on NAV is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share. Total return based on stock price is the change in the ending stock price of the Company’s common stock plus distributions paid during the period assuming participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning stock price of the Company’s common stock. The total return is for the period shown and is not annualized.

For the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, the Company2017, we recognized approximately $1.2 million in other income of approximately $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, consisting of approximately $1.1$0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, fromdue to the expirationtermination or terminationexpiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $0.2$0.8 million in each period, from amortizationthe realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and miscellaneousother income. For the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015, the Company2016, we recognized approximately $0.1 million in other income of approximately $61 thousand and $1.8 million, respectively, consisting of approximately $45$71 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, fromdue to the expirationtermination or terminationexpiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $16$52 thousand and $0.4 million, respectively, from amortizationthe realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and miscellaneousother income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized approximately $1.2 million in other income consisting of approximately $0.4 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $0.8 million from the realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and other income. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized approximately $0.5 million in other income consisting of approximately $0.4 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $0.1 million from the realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and other income.

Total operating expenses consisting of base management and incentive fees, interest expense, administrativeadministration agreement expenses, and general and administrative expenses are summarized in the statement of operations table above. In determining the base management


fee, our Adviser hadhas agreed to exclude the U.S. Treasury bill assets acquired at the end of each of the applicable quarters in 2017 and 2016 in the calculation of the gross assets. We anticipate operating expenses will increase over time as our portfolio continues to grow. However, we anticipate operating expenses, as a percentage of totals assets and net assets, will decrease over time as our portfolio and capital base grow. We expect base management and income incentive fees will increase as we grow our asset base and our earnings. Capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized and unrealized gains and losses. Interest expense will increase as we utilize more of ourthe Revolving Credit Facility, and we expect fees per the administrativeadministration agreement and general and administrative agreements will increase to meet the additional requirements associated with servicing a larger portfolio.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the net realized gains and net change in unrealized gains were approximately $4.9 million primarily as a result of two obligors being acquired during this period and one obligor completing its initial public offering. Our net realized gains totaled approximately $1.1 million, mainly due to proceeds from warrants and equity in Dollar Shave Club and warrants in Jet.com due to their respective acquisitions. The net change in unrealized gains totaled approximately $3.8 million, primarily due to an increase in the value of warrants and equity in one obligor, Nutanix, which completed its initial public offering. We have two loans to KnCMiner AB, with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $5.6 million and amortized cost of approximately $5.6 million. The estimated fair value of these loans of $4.8 million include risk and time discounted expected recoveries of cash from completed asset sales and equity in GoGreen Light AB, who acquired certain assets from KnCMiner AB. This resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately $3 thousand and $0.8 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net realized losses and net change in unrealized gains were approximately $14.0 million. Our net realized losses totaled approximately $20.9 million, which consisted of realized losses on two debt investments ($14.3 million on Intermodal Data, Inc. and $6.1 million on HouseTrip Limited), and net realized losses of $0.8 million on warrants, which were offset by realized gains of $0.3 million on equity. These events were partially reflected in unrealized losses recorded prior to the current year and the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses was approximately $5.1 million. This was partially offset by other unrealized losses on debt investments (approximately $1.8 million) and unrealized gains on warrant and equity investments (approximately $3.6 million) resulting in approximately $6.9 million of net unrealized gains recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.56


During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the net change in unrealized gains was approximately $1.0 million, primarily from the increase in fair values on debt investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the net change in realized and unrealized losses was approximately $0.4 million, consisting of approximately $0.3 million of realized losses on warrants and approximately $0.1 million of unrealized losses. Net changes in unrealized losses consisted of approximately $2.0 million of net unrealized losses on debt investments, partially offset by approximately $1.9 million of net unrealized gains on warrant and equity investments.  

Net change in realized and unrealized gains or losses in subsequent periods may be volatile as it depends on changes in the market, changes in the underlying performance of our portfolio companies and their respective industries, and other market factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Valuation of investments, income recognition, realized / unrealized gains or losses and U.S. federal income taxes are considered to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. These have been disclosed under “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to consolidated financial statements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2016.13, 2017. We have not made any changes to the policy in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 as disclosed in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “-Results of Operations,” was approximately $70.5 million and cash used by financing activities was approximately $66.0 million due to repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility for $55.0 million and approximately $11.0 million in distributions. As of June 30, 2017, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $83.5 million, which was due to the receipt of certain prepayments that occurred on June 30, 2017. Subsequent to quarter end, $60.0 million of restricted cash was used to repay the Revolving Credit Facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash used by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “-Results of Operations,” was approximately $34.4$36.9 million and cash provided by financing activities was approximately $16.5$21.3 million due to $39.0$35.0 million of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by approximately $16.1$10.6 million in dividend distribution,distributions, approximately $5.4$2.0 million in repurchase of common stock and approximately $1.1 million in payments of Revolving Credit Facility costs, which are deferred and expensed over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $20.8$20.1 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “-Results of Operations,” was approximately $9.9 million and cash provided by financing activities, including net proceeds from issuance of common stock and net proceeds from issuance of 2020 Notes, net repayment of borrowings and dividend distributions, was approximately $30.1 million. As of September 30, 2015, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $50.4 million.

On March 27, 2015, we priced a public equity offering of 6.5 million shares of our common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. The proceeds from this public equity offering of our common stock were received on April 1, 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of the Company’s common stock as the result of underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option. We used a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to temporarily repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.


As a BDC, we generally have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. As a result, we expect, from time to time, to access the debt and equity markets when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to do so. In this regard, we continue to explore various options for obtaining additional debt or equity capital for investments. This may include expanding or extending the Revolving Credit Facility, or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or debt securities. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio could be substantially impacted.

Contractual Obligations

In February 2014, we entered into our Revolving Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank, acting as administrative agent, and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided us with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements. In August 2014, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there-underthere under by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate. Effective as of a January 2016 amendment to the Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) 3.0% during the Credit Facility’s revolving period. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 21, 2019.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we had outstanding borrowings of $57.0$60.0 million and $18.0$115.0 million, respectively, under our Revolving Credit Facility, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We had $143.0$140.0 million and $182.0$85.0 million of remaining capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

On August 4, 2015, we completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $48.3 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2020 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2015. The 2020 Notes are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TPVZ”. On September 2, 2015, we issued an additional $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million after the payment of fees and offering costs as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional 2020 Notes. On July 14, 2017, we elected to exercise our option to redeem this in full. On the redemption date of August 13, 2017, we expect to redeem $54.6 million of principal amount and $0.3 million of accrued interest. For more information on the redemption of 2020 Notes and issuance of 2022 Notes, see the Recent Developments section.

We are a party to certain delay draw credit agreements with our portfolio companies, which require us to make future advances at the companies’ discretion during a defined loan availability period. Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions whichthat allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, our unfunded commitments totaled approximately $146.5 million to eightnine portfolio companies and twelve$117.4 million to nine portfolio companies, respectively, totaled $115.5 million and approximately $190.0 million, respectively.

Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. Over time, we generally expect approximately 75% of our gross unfunded commitments to be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods. We evaluate funding needs and expectations for each company at the time of commitment and as the company progresses and develops during the availability period.

The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements with our customers is equal to the fees and/or warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled approximately $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and was included in “other accrued expenses and liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

As of September 30, 2016,2017, we had a payable of approximately $80.0$90.0 million in face value due October 4, 2016,July 5, 2017, for the acquisition of U.S. Treasury bills. On October 4, 2016,July 5, 2017, we sold the U.S. Treasury bills and settled the payable in full. As of December 31, 2015,2016, we had a payable of approximately $70.0$40.0 million in face value due January 5, 2016,4, 2017, for the acquisition of U.S. Treasury bills. On January 5, 2016,4, 2017, we sold the U.S. Treasury bills and settled the payable in full.

In addition to the contractual obligations set forth above, we have certain obligations with respect to the investment advisory and administration services we received during the three months ended September 30, 2016.received. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, the2016, these outstanding obligations totaled approximately $3.3$4.0 million and $3.1$3.0 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Commitments

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $115.5approximately $146.5 million and approximately $190.0$117.4 million, respectively of unfunded commitments, of which $38.0$25.0 million and $50.0$60.0 million, respectively, was dependent upon the portfolio companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them.

Our credit agreements with our customersportfolio companies contain customary lending provisions whichthat allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the portfolio company.

Dividends and Distributions

We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In order toTo obtain and maintain our ability to be subject toRIC tax as a RIC, among other things,treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of our net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. Additionally,In order to avoid a nondeductiblenon-deductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of our undistributed income, we would need to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. For the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, we were subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and we may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for the year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Our Adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the taxable year. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the taxable year.

The following table summarizes our cash distributions per share that have been authorized by our board of directors since our initial public offering. From March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations). to December 31, 2015, these distributions represent ordinary income as our earnings exceed distributions. Approximately $1.20 per share of the distributions during the year ended December 31, 2016 represent a return of capital.

Recent Developments

Distributions

On November 7, 2016,August 8, 2017, we announced that our Board declared a $0.36 per share distribution, payable on December 16, 2016,September 15, 2017, to stockholders of record on November 30, 2016.August 31, 2017.

Offering of 2022 Notes

On July 14, 2017, we completed a public offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our newly issued 5.75% notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and received net proceeds of approximately $62.8 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. On July 24, 2017, as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional 2022 Notes, we issued an additional $9.75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2022 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning October 15, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and QualitativeQualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings and in the relative values of our portfolio that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Because a majority of our loans in our existing portfolio, as of September 30, 2016, have a fixed interest rate, the fair values of these loans may fluctuate from changes in market interest rates.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, a majority of the debt investments (approximately 63%)55% and approximately $130.2 million in principal balance) in our debt investment portfolio bore interest at fixed rates with approximately $108.3 million in principal balance of loans outstanding subject to floating interest rates, all of which have interest rate floors and some of them have interest rate caps for a limited period. In the future, we may increase the amount of loans in our portfolio subject to floating interest rates. Almost all our unfunded commitments float with changes in the prime rate from the date we enter into the commitment to the date of the actual draw. Our Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate. Our 2020 Notes bearbears interest at a fixed rate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our floating rate borrowings totaled $57.0$60.0 million, so an increase in interest rates would currently benefit us as we would generate additional interest income in excess of the additional interest expense. This is illustrated in the following table which shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure from the SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.

This analysis is indicative of the potential impact on our investment income as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, assuming an immediate and sustained change in interest rates as noted. It should be noted that we anticipate growth in our portfolio funded in part with additional borrowings and such additional borrowings, all else being equal, will increase our investment income sensitivity to interest rates, and such changes could be material. In addition, this analysis does not adjust for potential changes in our portfolio or our borrowing facilities nor does it take into account any changes in the credit performance of our loans that might occur should interest rates change.

Since it is our intention to hold loans to maturity, the fluctuating relative value of these loans that may occur due to changes in interest rate may have an impact on unrealized gains and losses during quarterly reporting periods. Based on our assessment of the interest rate risk, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had no hedging transactions in place as we deemed the risk acceptable and we did not believe it was necessary to mitigate this risk at that time.

While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates and other factors drive our performance more directly than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chiefthe Company’s President, who is acting as the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and ChiefActing Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefActing Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

(b)Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(a)

        Dividend Reinvestment Plan

During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we issued 26,52737,371 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. These issuances were not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The cash paid for shares of common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was approximately $0.3$0.5 million.  Other than shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we did not sell any unregistered equity securities.

(b)

        Stock Repurchase Plan

In October 2015, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share as reported in our most recent financial statements. Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time.  Any repurchases by us will comply with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors.  Our Board extended this $25 million share repurchase program to October 31, 2017, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased 295,744 shares of common stock at an average price of $11.41 per share resulting in approximately $3.4 million. The following table outlines repurchases of our common stock that we made during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
