PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into $160.1 million of new debt commitments with eight portfolio companies, funded debt investments totaling $78.5 million to nine portfolio companies, acquired warrants in nine portfolio companies with a cost basis of $1.0 million, and made direct equity investments of $1.1 million in five portfolio companies. Debt investments funded during the quarter carried a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 12.3% at origination. During the quarter, the Company received $43.7 million of principal prepayments, $1.3 million of early repayments and $11.3 million of scheduled principal amortization. The weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the second quarter was 14.5%. The Company calculates weighted average portfolio yield as the annualized rate of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The return on average equity for the second quarter was 13.0% based on net investment income. The Company calculates return on average equity as the annualized rate of net investment income recognized during the period divided by the Company’s average net asset value during the period.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company held debt investments in 46 portfolio companies, warrants in 106 portfolio companies and equity investments in 52 portfolio companies. The total cost and fair value of these investments were $753.7 million and $717.9 million, respectively.

The following table shows the total portfolio investment activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

SIGNED TERM SHEETS

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, TPC entered into $241.5 million of non-binding term sheets to venture growth stage companies. These opportunities are subject to underwriting conditions including, but not limited to, the completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with the allocation policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or assigned to the Company.

UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $184.7 million, of which $27.3 million was dependent upon portfolio companies reaching certain milestones. Of the $184.7 million of unfunded commitments, $19.6 million will expire during 2025, $88.6 million will expire during 2026, and $76.5 million will expire during 2027, if not drawn prior to expiration. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment and other income was $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 14.5% on debt investments, as compared to $27.1 million and 15.8% for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in total investment and other income was primarily due to a lower weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio, lower investment yields due in part to decreases in the Prime rate and less prepayment income. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s total investment and other income was $45.7 million, as compared to $56.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments of 14.5% and 15.6%, respectively.

For the second quarter of 2025, total operating expenses, inclusive of an income incentive fee waiver of $1.3 million, were $12.0 million as compared to $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 consisted of $6.7 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $3.3 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of Administration Agreement expenses and $1.4 million of general and administrative expenses. Due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, our income incentive fees were reduced by $1.0 million, and the Adviser waived the remaining $1.3 million of income incentive fees earned during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 consisted of $8.7 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $3.8 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of Administration Agreement expenses and $1.4 million of general and administrative expenses. Due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, our income incentive fees were reduced by $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s total operating expenses were $23.7 million and $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded net investment income of $11.3 million, or $0.28 per share, as compared to $12.6 million, or $0.33 per share, for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in net investment income between periods was driven primarily by lower total investment and other income. Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $22.0 million, or $0.55 per share, compared to $28.1 million, or $0.74 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized net realized losses on investments of $32,000. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net realized losses on investments of $18.8 million.
