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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, unless otherwise noted, certain of the Company’s debt investments and certain of the Company’s warrants, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $235.2 million and $239.8 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, payment-in-kind interest, or any additional fees related to the investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees or prepayment fees. No debt instruments have any payment-in-kind interest provisions.

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.

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

At the end of the term of certain equipment financings, 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. The fair market values for these financings have been estimated as a percentage of original cost for purposes of the EOT payment value.

Notes applicable to the warrants presented in the foregoing tables:

TRIPLEPOINT VENTURE GROWTH BDC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on June 28, 2013 and priced its initial public offering and commenced investment operations on March 5, 2014. The Company is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, the Company expects to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company was formed to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TriplePoint Capital LLC’s (“TPC”) investment 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. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by primarily lending to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries backed by the TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors. The Company is externally managed by TPVG Advisers LLC (the “Adviser”) which is registered as an investment adviser under the 1940 Act and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TPC. The Adviser is responsible for sourcing, reviewing and structuring investment opportunities, underwriting and performing due diligence on investments and monitoring the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Adviser was organized in August 2013 and, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into between the Company and the Adviser, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with TPVG Administrator LLC (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and pays fees and expenses for services provided.

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: TPVG Variable Funding Company LLC (the “Financing Subsidiary”), a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity established for utilizing the Company’s revolving credit facility, and TPVG Investment LLC, an entity established for holding certain of the Company’s investments in order to benefit from the tax treatment of these investments and create a tax structure that is more advantageous with respect to the Company’s RIC status. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair representation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. Certain items in the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications did not impact any prior amounts of reported total assets, total liabilities, net assets or results of operations. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company applies fair value to all its investments. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market’s participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. When market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Adviser believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instruments on the measurement date.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a variety of factors. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The Company’s valuation methodology is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Board is responsible for the fair values determined. As markets change, new types of investments are made, or pricing for certain investments becomes more or less observable, the Board may refine its valuation methodologies appropriately.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company places its cash with financial institutions and at times, cash held in such accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company may invest a portion of its cash in money market funds, within the limitations of the 1940 Act.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of collections of interest and principal payments on investments maintained in segregated trust accounts for the benefit of the lenders and administrative agent of the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Deferred Credit Facility Costs

Deferred credit facility costs represent fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facility. These amounts are amortized and included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the estimated term of the facility.

Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities

Other accrued expenses and liabilities include interest payable, accounts payable and the fair value of unfunded commitment liabilities. Unfunded commitment liabilities reflect the fact that the Company is a party to certain delay draw credit agreements with its portfolio companies, which requires the Company to make future advances at the borrowers’ discretion during a defined loan availability period. The Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions which allow the Company relief from funding 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. In certain instances, the borrower may be required to achieve certain milestones before they may request a future advance. The unfunded obligation associated with these credit agreements is equal to the amount by which the contractual funding commitment exceeds the sum of the amount of funded debt unless the availability period has expired. The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements approximates the fair value of the 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 included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments.

Paid-in Capital

The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common stock on a net basis to capital stock and paid-in capital in excess of par value, excluding all offering costs.

Income Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount, principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or warrants obtained in conjunction with the Company’s debt investments, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method as interest income. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, unamortized loan origination fees and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income. End-of-term (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. Interest is accrued during the life of the loan on the EOT payment using the effective interest method as non-cash income. The EOT payment generally ceases accruing to the extent the borrower is unable to pay the remaining principal and interest due.

Other income includes certain fees paid by portfolio companies (for example, extension fees, revolver loan facility fees) and the recognition of the value of unfunded commitments that expired during the reporting period.

Non-accrual loans

A loan may be left on accrual status during the period the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. The Company reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the Company’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s judgment, payments are likely to remain current.

Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

The Company measures realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management Fees

The Company accrues for the base management fee and incentive fee. The accrual for incentive fee includes the recognition of incentive fees on unrealized gains, even though such incentive fees are neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until such gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized losses on investments.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2014. Generally, a RIC is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, a RIC must distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the RIC previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. The Company intends to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain the Company’s RIC status each year and does not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Board determines the amount of dividends to be paid each quarter based on a variety of factors including estimates of future earnings. Net realized capital gains, if any, are intended to be distributed at least annually. The Company will calculate both its current and accumulated earnings and profits on a tax basis in order to determine the amount of any distribution that constituted a return of capital to the Company’s stockholders and that while such distributions are not taxable, they may result in higher capital gains taxes when the shares are eventually sold.

Organizational and Offering Costs

The Company incurred $1.75 million in offering costs in completing its initial public offering in March 2014, which were charged against paid-in capital. Organizational and offering costs in excess of this amount were paid by the Adviser. None of the expenses borne by the Adviser in connection with the Company’s initial public offering above the $1.75 million threshold are subject to recoupment from the Company.

The Company incurred approximately $0.8 million in offering costs in completing its public offering of common stock in March 2015, which were charged against paid-in capital.

Per Share Information

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. For the periods presented, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same since there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Acquisition of Initial Portfolio

On March 5, 2014, the Company acquired from TPC and certain of its subsidiaries, a select portfolio of investments in venture growth stage companies originated through TPC consisting of funded debt and direct equity investments, future funding commitments and warrants associated with both the funded debt investments and future funding commitments. This initial portfolio included 23 secured loans with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $119.2 million, two equity investments of approximately $2.0 million and warrants to purchase shares in 15 portfolio companies of approximately $3.2 million. The valuation of this initial portfolio was conducted by the Board in consultation with the Adviser and consideration of valuations performed by a third-party valuation firm.

The funding for the acquisition of this portfolio was provided through a credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”). The fees and expenses associated with entering into the Bridge Facility were covered by TPC. The Bridge Facility, along with the interest expense incurred thereon, was repaid in full on March 11, 2014, with a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering.

Investment Advisory Agreement

Prior to the commencement of operations, the Board approved an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Subject to the overall supervision of the Board and in accordance with 1940 Act, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. 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.

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 treated as a BDC exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be treated 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 treated as a BDC minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be treated 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 gains and losses since the effective date of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC. The Company elected to be treated as a BDC 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 capital 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. 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 not to include the U.S. Treasury bills acquired at the end of each quarter of 2014 in the calculation of gross assets for purposes of determining its base management fee. There were no realized capital gains since the inception of the Company and, thus, no capital gains incentive fee was earned or is payable. The Company had net unrealized losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and, as a result, recorded a reversal in accrued capital gains incentive fee up to the amount previously recognized of approximately $0.3 million. The Company had net unrealized gains during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, and, as a result, accrued a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of that amount.


Management and Incentive Fee (dollars in thousands)	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015			For the Period from March 5, 2014 (Commencement of Operations) to March 31, 2014
Base management fee	$	1,159		$	144
Income incentive fee	$	1,162		$	—
Capital gains incentive fee	$	(296	)	$	275

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately $1.9 million of base management fee earned in prior periods was paid and $2.4 million of income incentive fee earned in prior periods was paid. During the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, no base management or income incentive fees were paid.

Administration Agreement

Prior to the commencement of operations, the Board approved an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). The Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator is responsible for furnishing the Company with office facilities and equipment and provide 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing net asset value, 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 an amount 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. 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.

The Administrator engages a sub-administrator to provide certain administrative services. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were approximately $0.4 million and $52 thousand, respectively, of which approximately $0.1 million and $23 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 Topic 820”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 valuation 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 Adviser 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 factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant. The Board makes this fair value determination on at least a quarterly 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.

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 excludes 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;

•

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

•

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; 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 financings 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 Adviser’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.

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, the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants

The fair value of the warrants is primarily estimated 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, the following:

•

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 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.

•

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 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.

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.

The following is a summary by investment type of the fair value according to inputs used in valuing investments listed in the accompanying condensed consolidated schedules of investments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of any levels.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 investments measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014. 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.

(1)	Purchases and fundings of investments include the purchase of the Company’s initial portfolio on March 5, 2014, and fundings of additional investments during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. There were realized losses of approximately $0.3 million as a result of writing off certain warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no realized gains or losses during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014. The change in net unrealized losses for Level 3 investments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $1.9 million, which was comprised of approximately $3.3 million of net unrealized losses from debt investments and approximately $1.4 million of net unrealized gains from warrants. The change in net unrealized gains for Level 3 investments during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014 was approximately $1.4 million, which was comprised of approximately $0.5 million of net unrealized gains from debt investments and approximately $0.9 million of net unrealized gains from warrants.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million in other income, which was almost entirely due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $36 thousand from amortization of certain fees paid by companies and miscellaneous income. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, the Company did not recognize any other income.

The following tables provide a summary of quantitative information about the Level 3 fair value measurements of investments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining fair value measurements.

As of March 31, 2015, the fair values for all the Company’s debt investments 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. For all but four warrants, 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. Four warrant positions and one equity investment were valued using a combination of the Option-Pricing Method and the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method given the outlook for that company. The other 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 December 31, 2014, the fair values for all the Company’s debt investments 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. For all but three warrants, 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. Three warrant positions and one equity investment were valued using a combination of the Option-Pricing Method and the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method given the outlook for that company. The other equity investments were valued using the market approach. The range of the various assumptions and weighted averages of these assumptions are summarized in the table above.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had pledged certain of its debt investments and certain of its warrants with an aggregate fair value of approximately $235.2 million and $239.8 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.

In March 2015, the Company moved one of its portfolio companies, Coraid, Inc., representing approximately 5% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2014, to Category 5 and non-accrual status. The Company accelerated the outstanding obligations owed by Coraid, Inc. and this obligor entered into a foreclosure agreement that provided for Intermodal Data, Inc. to purchase certain assets and assume the outstanding obligations owed to the Company.

Note 6. Borrowings

Bridge Facility

In February 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank for the purpose of acquiring its initial portfolio. On March 5, 2014, the Company borrowed approximately $121.7 million under this facility. On March 11, 2014, the Company paid this borrowing in full with a portion of the net proceeds received in the Company’s initial public offering. The Company paid approximately $25 thousand of interest on this facility. All other fees and expenses associated with entering into this facility were paid by TPC.

Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2014, the Company, along with its Financing Subsidiary as borrower, entered into a credit agreement 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 the Company with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (“Credit Facility”). In August 2014, the Company amended its Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there under by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate.

Borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) the commercial paper rate for certain specified lenders and 30-day LIBOR for other lenders or, if LIBOR is unavailable, the higher of Deutsche Bank’s commercial lending rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% plus (ii) a margin of 3.5% during the revolving period and 4.5% during the amortization period. Borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility are secured only by the assets of the Financing Subsidiary. The Company agreed to pay to Deutsche Bank a syndication fee in 12 monthly installments, of approximately 1.0% of the committed facility amount. The Company also agreed to pay Deutsche Bank a fee to act as administrative agent under this 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 in 12 equal monthly installments and (ii) a fee of approximately 0.75% per annum of any unused borrowings under this Credit Facility on a monthly basis. This revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to an advance rate limitation of approximately 55.0% 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 Labe and the Company’s President and Chief Investment Officer Mr. Sajal Srivastava and eligibility requirements, including but not limited to geographic and industry concentration limitations and certain loan grade classifications. Furthermore, events of default under this 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. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $120.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively, under its revolving Credit Facility, which is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Interest expense on these borrowings includes the interest cost charged on borrowings, the unused fee on the Credit Facility, paying and administrative agent fees, and the amortization of deferred Credit Facility fees and expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest expense on the revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $1.6 million, consisting of approximately $1.2 million of interest expense, approximately $0.1 million of unused facilities expense, and approximately $0.3 million of amortization of deferred Credit Facility costs and other fees. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, interest expense on the revolving Credit Facility totaled approximately $129 thousand, consisting of approximately $2 thousand of interest expense, approximately $65 thousand of unused facilities expense, and approximately $62 thousand of amortization of deferred Credit Facility costs and other fees.

Other Payables

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no other payables other than in the ordinary course of business. On December 30, 2014, the Company purchased $50.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills for settlement on January 2, 2015. The associated payable was included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014.

Note 7. Commitments

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s unfunded commitments to nine and eleven companies, respectively, totaled $153.5 million and $211.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, $28.0 million of the unfunded commitments were dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. The Company’s unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2015 included $86.0 million that will expire during 2015 and $67.5 million that will expire during 2016 if not drawn prior to expiration. The Company’s unfunded commitments included $143.5 million with technology-related companies and $10.0 million with non-technology related companies, of which $148.5 million represent commitments for growth capital loans and $5.0 million for revolving loans. Our credit agreements 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. The tables below provide the Company’s unfunded commitments by customer as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


	As of March 31, 2015

Total	$	211,000	$	2,132

The tables above also provide the fair value of the Company’s unfunded commitment liability as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaling approximately $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The fair value at the inception of the agreement 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the fair value of unfunded commitment liability decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to decreases of unfunded commitments. The Company did not enter into any new commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no unrealized gains and losses for liabilities within Level 3 category.

Note 10. Equity Offerings

On March 5, 2014, the Company issued 9,840,665 shares of common stock through an initial public offering and a concurrent private placement offering and received net proceeds of approximately $143.3 million. A portion of the offering costs, or $1.75 million, were borne by the Company and charged against paid-in capital. The Adviser agreed to pay the balance of the organizational and offering costs and a portion of the front end sales charges, which amounts are not subject to recoupment from the Company.

On March 27, 2015, the Company priced a public offering of 6,500,000 shares of its common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. The Company included a “Receivable related to public offering of common stock” in its condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015, which was received on April 1, 2015. Offering costs of approximately $0.8 million were borne by the Company and charged against paid-in capital. The Adviser agreed to pay approximately $3.6 million, which represents a portion of the price discount and the entire front end sales charges, which amounts are not subject to recoupment from 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 front end sales charges and associated offering costs borne by the Company, and the price at which common stock was issued by the Company, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2014, is provided in the following tables.

(1)	In connection with this offering, the Adviser paid the underwriters a supplemental payment of approximately $0.7 million, or $0.11 per share, which reflected the difference between the public offering price and the proceeds per share received by the Company in the offering.

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, there were 1,668 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result of the stock issuance summarized above, 16,424,171 and 9,924,171 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Note 11. Dividends

The Company intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with the Company’s taxable year ending December 31, 2014. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, the Company must distribute at least 98% of the Company’s ordinary income and 98.2% of the Company’s capital gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. The Company intends to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of the Company’s investment company taxable income and net capital gains to stockholders. 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 as authorized by the Board since March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations).


Period Ended	Date Announced	Record Date	Payment Date	Per Share Amount
March 31, 2015	March 16, 2015	March 26, 2015	April 16, 2015	$	0.36

(2)	The amount of this initial distribution reflected a quarterly dividend rate of $0.30 per share, prorated for the 27 days for the period from the pricing of the Company’s initial public offering on March 5, 2014 through March 31, 2014.

It is the Company’s intention to distribute all or substantially all of its taxable income earned over the course of the year; thus, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations through March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2014, total dividends of $1.22 per share were declared and paid and represented a distribution of ordinary income as the Company’s earnings and profits for this period exceeded its distributions. As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimated it had approximately $1.2 million of remaining taxable earnings to distribute to stockholders. This “spillover” income was paid as part of the first quarter 2015 dividends. As of March 31, 2015, the Company estimated it had undistributed 2015 taxable earnings of approximately $2.2 million.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Equity Offerings

On April 29, 2015, the Company raised an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of the Company’s common stock as the result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option.

Dividends

On May 6, 2015, the Board announced a $0.36 per share dividend, payable on June 16, 2015, to stockholders of record on May 29, 2015.

Recent Portfolio Activity

On April 15, 2015, Intermodal Data, Inc. acquired certain assets and assumed the outstanding obligations owed to the Company by Coraid, Inc. and entered into a new loan agreement with the Company for the amounts owed.

From April 1, 2015, through May 5, 2015, the Company closed $25.0 million in new debt commitments. TPC’s direct origination platform entered into $23.0 million of additional non-binding signed term sheets with venture growth stage companies, subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with TPC’s allocation policy.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and will make forward-looking statements in future filings with the SEC, press releases or other written or oral communications within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or, the Exchange Act). For these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in such sections. 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”) 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 RIC and as a 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;

•

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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Part II, Item 1A and in our other filings with the SEC.

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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Part II, 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 treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We also intend to elect to be treated, and intend 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 NYSE under the symbol “TPVG”.

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 expand the venture growth stage business segment of TPC’s global investment platform and are the primary vehicle through which TPC focuses its venture growth stage business. 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 bridge facility provided by Deutsche Bank. On March 11, 2014, we completed our initial public offering and sold 9,840,655 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) of our common stock at an offering price of $15.00 per share. We received $141.6 million of net proceeds in connection with the initial public offering and concurrent private placement, net of the portion of front end charges and offering costs we paid. We used a portion of these net proceeds to pay down all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility and terminated the Bridge Facility in conjunction with such repayment.

In February 2014, we entered into a credit agreement, or the 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 Credit Facility to increase the total commitments by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate.

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 March 31, 2015, our financial statements included a receivable of $94.6 million, which was received on April 1, 2015.

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.

As of March 31, 2015, we had 74 investments in 26 companies. Our investments included 45 debt investments, 24 warrant investments, and 5 direct equity investments. The total cost and fair value of these investments were approximately $252.1 million and approximately $251.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, one of our customers was publicly traded. At March 31, 2015, the 45 debt investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $240.1 million had a weighted average loan to enterprise value at the time of origination ratio of approximately 9.5%.

The following tables provide information on the cost, fair value, and net unrealized gains of our investments in companies along with the number of companies in our portfolio as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The following table presents the product type of our debt investments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


	As of March 31, 2015
Debt Investments By Financing Product (dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Percentage of Total Debt Investments
Growth capital loans	$	238,970		99.5	%

Growth capital loans	$	246,311		99.5	%
Equipment financings		1,298		0.5

Total debt investments	$	247,609		100.0	%

Approximately 17.0% and 20.5% of the debt investments in our portfolio as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, based on the aggregate fair value, consisted of growth capital loans where the borrower has a term loan facility, with or without an accompanying revolving loan, in priority to our senior lien.

Investment Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we did not enter into any new commitments, funded one debt investment for approximately $10.0 million in principal value, acquired warrants representing approximately $0.3 million of value and made an equity investment of approximately $0.2 million. During the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, we entered into two new commitments with one new customer and one existing customer totaling $7.5 million and one commitment was reduced by $2.0 million, funded six debt investments for $18.2 million and earned warrants representing approximately $0.3 million of value.

As of March 31, 2015, our unfunded commitments to nine companies totaled $153.5 million, of which $28.0 million was dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Our unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2015 included $86.0 million that will expire during 2015 and $67.5 million that will expire during 2016 if not drawn prior to expiration. Our unfunded commitments included $143.5 million with technology-related companies and $10.0 million with non-technology related companies, of which $148.5 million represent commitments for growth capital loans and $5.0 million for revolving loans. Our credit agreements 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 75% of its gross unfunded commitments to eventually be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods.

As of December 31, 2014, our unfunded commitments to 11 companies totaled $211.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, $35.0 million in unfunded commitments were terminated, $12.5 million in unfunded commitments expired and $10.0 million were funded.

The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled approximately $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively and was included in “other accrued expenses and liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period as our Adviser chooses to slow or accelerate new business originations depending on market conditions, rate of investment of TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors, our Adviser’s knowledge, expertise and experience, our funding capacity (including availability under our credit facilities and our ability or inability to raise equity or debt capital), and other market dynamics.

The following table shows the debt commitments, fundings of debt investments (principal balance) and equity investments and non-binding term sheet activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014.

On December 30, 2014, we acquired $50.0 million in U.S. Treasury bills which were subsequently sold on January 2, 2015.

Asset Quality

Consistent with TPC’s existing policies, our Adviser maintains a credit watch list with borrowers placed into five groups based on our Advisor’s senior investment team’s judgment, where 1 is the highest rating and all new loans are assigned a rating of 2.


Category	Category Definition	Action Item

Clear (1)	Performing above expectations and/or strong financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage.	Review quarterly.

White (2)	Performing at expectations and/or reasonably close to it. Reasonable financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage. All new loans are initially graded White.	Contact portfolio company regularly in no event less than quarterly.

Yellow (3)	Performing generally below expectations and/or some proactive concern. Adequate financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage.	Contact portfolio company monthly or more frequently as determined by our Adviser’s Investment Committee; contact investors.

Orange (4)	Needs close attention due to performance materially below expectations, weak financial and/or enterprise profile, concern regarding additional capital or exit equivalent.	Contact portfolio company weekly or more frequently as determined by our Adviser’s Investment Committee; contact investors regularly; our Adviser forms a workout group to minimize risk of loss.

Red (5)	Serious concern/trouble due to pending or actual default or equivalent. May experience partial and/or full loss.	Maximize value from assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, one borrower was moved to Clear (1) from White (2), one borrower was moved from Yellow (3) to Orange (4) and then to Red (5), and one borrower rated Clear (1) was removed in conjunction with prepaying all of its outstanding obligations. In March 2015, we accelerated the outstanding obligations owed by Coraid, Inc., rated Red (5), and this obligor entered into a foreclosure agreement that provided for Intermodal Data, Inc. to purchase certain assets and assume the outstanding obligations owed to the Company. As of both

March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the weighted average investment ranking of our debt investment portfolio was 2.06. The following table shows the credit rankings for the 16 and 17 portfolio companies, respectively, that had outstanding obligations to us as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Results of Operations

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 unrealized gains (losses) on investments are the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Since we commenced operations on March 5, 2014, the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 represents only 27 days of operations, as compared to 90 days for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which accounts for most of the differences in operating results over these two periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $2.7 million which was comprised of approximately $4.9 million of net investment income, approximately $0.3 million of net realized losses and approximately $1.9 million of net unrealized losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.48 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.27 per share. Our core net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $4.6 million, or $0.45 per share.

For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $1.9 million, consisting of approximately $0.5 million in net investment income and approximately $1.4 million in net change in unrealized gains on investments. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.06 per share and the net change in net assets from operations was $0.20 per share. Our core net investment income for the same period was approximately $844 thousand, or $0.09 per share.

Our investment and other income increased from approximately $1.3 million for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, to approximately $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Operating expenses increased from approximately $0.7 million for the period March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, to approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net investment income increased from approximately $0.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2014 to approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net realized losses were approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to the losses on warrants of one portfolio company. There were no realized capital gains or losses during any period in 2014. Net unrealized losses were approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and net unrealized gains were approximately $1.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2014. The net unrealized losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015, included the reversal of some of the unrealized gains recognized in prior periods as the result of prepayment activity in this period. Our net increase in net assets from operations increased from approximately $1.9 million, or $0.20 per share, for the period ended March 31, 2014, to approximately $2.7 million, or $0.27 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Core net investment income increased from approximately $0.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the period ended March 31, 2014, to approximately $4.6 million, or $0.45 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The table below presents our statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014.

The table below reconciles GAAP net income to core net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014. Core net investment income, unlike GAAP net investment income, excludes accrued, but as yet 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 as capital gains incentive fees are accrued based on unrealized gains but are not earned until realized gains occur. 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, no capital gains were realized. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we reported approximately $1.9 million in unrealized capital losses and we reversed previously accrued capital gains incentive fees of approximately $0.3 million. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, we reported approximately $1.4 million in unrealized capital gains and accrued approximately $0.3 million in capital gains incentive fee.

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 payments. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, investment income totaled approximately $9.2 million, representing a weighted average portfolio yield of approximately 14.6% on debt investments for the period held. For the period ended March 31, 2014, investment income totaled approximately $1.3 million, representing a weighted average portfolio yield of approximately 14.3% on debt investments for the period held.

We calculate weighted average 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. As our portfolio grows and seasons, we expect our loans to be outstanding for shorter periods than to maturity and to reflect healthy prepayment activity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the weighted average portfolio yield on our portfolio of approximately 14.6% was comprised of approximately 11.0% cash interest income, approximately 0.6% of accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrants received, approximately 2.9% of accretion of end-of-term payments and approximately 0.1% due to the accelerated receipt of end-of term payments on prepayments. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, the weighted average portfolio yield on our portfolio of approximately 14.3% was comprised of approximately 11.2% cash interest income, approximately 0.1% of accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrants received, and approximately 3.0% of accretion of end-of-term payments.

The yield on our portfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments was approximately 14.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no prepayments during the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014. The actual yields on our portfolio will be dependent on future fundings and the performance of our loans including prepayments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $0.6 million in other income which was almost entirely due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and approximately $36 thousand from amortization of certain fees paid by companies and miscellaneous income. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, we did not recognize any other income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, total operating expenses were approximately $4.9 million, comprising of approximately $2.1 million in base management and incentive fees, approximately $1.6 million in interest expense, approximately $0.4 million in administrative agreement expenses, and approximately $0.8 million in general and administrative expenses. For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, total operating expenses were approximately $0.7 million, comprising of approximately $0.4 million in base management and incentive fees, approximately $0.1 million in interest expense, approximately $0.1 million in administrative agreement expenses, and approximately $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses. In determining the

base management fee, our Adviser had agreed not to include the U.S. Treasury bill assets acquired at the end of each of the quarter of 2014 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 management fees will increase as we grow our asset base and our earnings exceed the hurdle rate for the investment income incentive fee. Capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized and unrealized gains and losses. Interest expense will increase as we utilize more of our credit facility, and we expect fees per the administrative agreement and general and administrative agreements will increase to meet the additional requirements associated with servicing a larger portfolio.

There was $0.3 million of realized losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and no realized gains or losses for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net change in unrealized losses on investments was approximately $1.9 million consisting of approximately $3.3 million net change in unrealized losses on debt and short-term investments due to changes in fair value and approximately $1.4 million net change in unrealized gains on warrants due to changes in fair value. During the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, our net change in unrealized gains on investments was approximately $1.4 million, consisting of approximately $0.9 million of net change in unrealized gains on warrants due to changes in fair value and approximately $0.5 million of net change in unrealized gains on debt investments due to changes in fair value. Net change in 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 many other factors.

Net unrealized losses on investments as of March 31, 2015 were approximately $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share. Net unrealized gains on investments as of December 31, 2014 were approximately $1.5 million, or $0.15 per share. The table below summarizes the unrealized gains and losses in our investments in portfolio companies as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In addition to the unrealized gains and losses in our investments in portfolio companies as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 summarized in the tables above, there were unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury bills of approximately $0 and $3 thousand, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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. In addition to the discussion below, we describe our critical accounting policies in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Investments

We measure the value of our investments at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, 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.

Our Valuation Committee is also responsible for assisting our 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, our Board, with the assistance of our Adviser and its senior investment team and independent valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by our 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. We consider a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and select the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors our Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant. Our Board will make this fair value determination on a quarterly 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.

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

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 assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

Under ASC Topic 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 excludes 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 under ASC Topic 820, 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, our Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm. However, our Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 1.0% of our gross assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of our gross assets) independently reviewed; and

•

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

Debt Investments

The debt investments are primarily loans and equipment financings made to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by 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 type of debt instruments and thus our Adviser’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.

To estimate the fair value of our debt investments, we compare the cost basis of the 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 our investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates for our investments. 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, 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. Increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Under certain circumstances, we may use an alternative technique to value the debt investments that better reflects 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, the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants

Fair values of the warrants are primarily estimated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. Privately held warrant and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

•

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 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 include option pricing models, including 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.

•

Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on our judgment about the general industry environment. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value.

•

Under certain circumstances we may use an alternative technique to value warrants that better reflects 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.

Equity Investments

The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the amount invested. We adjust the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third party round of equity financing subsequent to our investment. We 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. We may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions to estimate fair value. 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. 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 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.

Income Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. Original issue discount, principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or warrants obtained in conjunction with our debt investments, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method as interest income. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, unamortized loan origination fees and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income. 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. Interest is accrued during the life of the loan on the EOT payment using the effective interest method as non-cash income. The EOT payment generally ceases accruing to the extent the borrower is unable to pay the remaining principal and interest due.

Other income includes certain fees paid by portfolio companies and the recognition of the value of unfunded commitments that expired during the reporting period.

Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

We measure realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. We report changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management Fees

We accrue for the base management fee and incentive fee. The accrual for incentive fee includes the recognition of incentive fee on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fee is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized losses on investments.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2014. Generally, a RIC is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, a RIC must distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the RIC previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our RIC status each year and do not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 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 $1.4 million. Cash provided by financing activities mainly due to net borrowings, was approximately $1.5 million. As of March 31, 2015, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $18.3 million.

On March 27, 2015, we priced a public equity offering of 6.5 million shares of our common stock, raising approximately $93.8 million after offering costs. On April 1, 2015, upon receipt of proceeds from the public equity offering of common stock, our cash balance was $112.9 million. We have used a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to temporarily repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We intend to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds and, through re-borrowings under our Credit Facility, make new investments in accordance with our investment objective and strategies and for general working capital purposes.

For the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $90.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities, including net proceeds from issuance of common stock and net borrowings, was approximately $161.1 million. As of March 31, 2014, cash, including restricted cash and cash equivalents, was approximately $71.2 million.

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 our credit facility, or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock of 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 a credit agreement 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 Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there under by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had outstanding borrowings of $120.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively, under our Credit Facility, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We had $80.0 million and $82.0 million of remaining capacity on our Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The tables below provide a summary of when payments are due under our Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


	As of March 31, 2015

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 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. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our unfunded commitments to nine companies and eleven companies totaled $153.5 million and $211.0 million, respectively. Out of $153.5 million as of March 31, 2015, $28.0 million was dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. In addition, these commitments are available for a limited time and $86.0 million will expire during 2015 and $67.5 million will expire during 2016 if not drawn prior to expiration. 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 Staff of the Division of Investment Management has recently informed us that it views our unfunded commitments as senior securities under the 1940 Act. Although we do not agree with the Staff’s position, we intend to comply with the Staff’s position by either maintaining 200% asset coverage or otherwise segregating or setting aside liquid assets or engaging in other SEC or staff-approved measures to “cover” our unfunded commitments in an amount required to comply with the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, the Credit Facility also has a requirement that we maintain a 200% asset coverage ratio.

As of December 31, 2014, we had a payable of approximately $50.0 million due January 2, 2015, for the acquisition of U.S. Treasury bills. On January 2, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding obligations totaled approximately $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $153.5 million and $211.0 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments, of which $28.0 million and $40.5 million was dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Our credit agreements 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.

The table below provides our unfunded commitments by customer as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Dividends and Distributions

In order to qualify as a RIC and to avoid corporate level tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we are required, under Subchapter M of the Code, to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses to our stockholders on an annual basis. Additionally, we must distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. To the extent our earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for a taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax-free return of capital to our stockholders. Our Adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax-free 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.

Related Parties

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

•

We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with our Adviser. Certain of our officers are also principals of the Adviser.

•

We have entered into the Administration Agreement with our Administrator. Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, our Administrator provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Certain of our officers are also principals of the Administrator.

•

We have entered into a license agreement with TPC pursuant to which TPC has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “TriplePoint.”

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics. As required by the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Recent Developments

Equity Offerings

On April 29, 2015, we raised 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.

Dividends

On May 6, 2015, our Board of Directors announced a $0.36 per share dividend, payable on June 16, 2015, to stockholders of record on May 29, 2015.

Recent Portfolio Activity

On April 15, 2015, Intermodal Data, Inc. acquired certain assets and assumed the outstanding obligations owed to us by Coraid, Inc. and entered into a new loan agreement with us for the amounts owed.

From April 1, 2015, through May 5, 2015, we closed $25.0 million in new debt commitments. TPC’s direct origination platform entered into $23.0 million of additional non-binding signed term sheets with venture growth stage companies, subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with TPC’s allocation policy.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative 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 March 31, 2015, have a fixed interest rate, the fair values of these loans may fluctuate from changes in market interest rates.

As of March 31, 2015, a majority of the debt investments in our portfolio bore interest at fixed rates with $30.0 million in principal balance of loans outstanding subject to floating interest rates, all of which have interest rate floors. 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. As a result, our future earnings may be negatively affected when interest rates rise. Based on our March 31, 2015 balance sheet, the following table 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.


Change in Interest Rates (dollars in thousands)	Increase (decrease) in interest income		(Increase) decrease in interest expense			Net increase (decrease) in investment income
Up 300 basis points	$	913	$	(3,650	)	$	(2,737	)
Up 200 basis points	$	608	$	(2,433	)	$	(1,825	)
Up 100 basis points	$	304	$	(1,217	)	$	(913	)
Up 50 basis points	$	152	$	(608	)	$	(456	)
Down 25 basis points	$	—	$	209		$	209

This analysis is indicative of the potential impact on our investment income as of March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015, 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

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, have concluded that as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to us that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within us to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
