(the “Company”) had twelve foreign domiciled portfolio companies, four of which are based in Canada and eight of which are based in Europe. As of June 30, 2026, these foreign domiciled portfolio investments represented 17.6%of total net asset value based on fair value. The Company generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These investments are generally subject to certain limitations on resale and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.
(2)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity and warrant investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Equipment financed under our equipment financing investments relates to operational equipment essential to revenue production for the portfolio company in the industry noted.
(3)
Investment date represents the date of initial investment date, either purchases or funding, not adjusted for modifications. For assets purchased from the Legacy Funds as part of the Formation Transactions (both terms as defined in “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation”), the investment date is January 16, 2020, the date of the Formation Transactions.
(4)
Interest rate is the fixed or variable rate of the debt investments and does not include any original issue discount, end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or additional fees related to such investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees, prepayment fees or exit fees. EOT payments are contractual payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed rate determined at the inception of the loan. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the term of the loan or equipment financing prior to its payment and is included as a component of the cost basis of the Company’s current debt securities.
(5)
Principal is net of repayments, if any, as per the terms of the debt instrument’s contract.
(6)
Except as noted, all investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) using Level 3 inputs.
(7)
Asset is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's Board using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.
(8)

(10)
Indicates a “non-qualifying asset” under section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s percentage of non-qualifying assets at fair value represents 16.5% of the Company’s total assets as of June 30, 2026. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets.
(11)
Investment has zero cost basis as it was purchased at a fair value of zero as part of the Formation Transactions (as defined in “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation”).
(12)
Investment is a secured loan warehouse facility collateralized by interest in specific assets that meet the eligibility requirements under the facility during the warehouse period. Repayment of the facility will occur over the amortizing period unless otherwise prepaid.
Company has been issued warrants with pricing and number of shares dependent upon a future round of equity issuance by the portfolio company.
(14)
Investment is pledged as collateral supporting amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility with KeyBank, National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) or the Company's secured term loan facility with KeyBank (the “KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility”). See “Note 5 – Borrowings” for more information.
(15)
Interest on this loan includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision.

(17)
Preferred stock represents investments through which the Company will have preference in liquidation rights and do not contain any cumulative preferred dividends.
(18)

Basis of Presentation
The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are 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 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period included herein. The current period’s consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2026. As an investment company, the Company follows accounting and reporting guidance determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).
Principles of Consolidation
Under ASC 946, the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s investment portfolio is carried on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, as discussed further in “Note 3 - Investments,” with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s consolidated operations include the activities of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Trinity Funding 1, LLC (“TF1”), TrinCap Funding, LLC (“TCF”), TrinCap Term Funding, LLC (“TF3”) and other holding companies. TF1 was formed on August 14, 2019, as a Delaware limited liability company with Fund II as its sole equity member. On January 16, 2020, in connection with the Formation Transactions, Trinity Capital acquired TF1 through Fund II and became a party to, and assumed, a credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG (the “Credit Suisse Credit Facility”) through TF1 which matured on January 8, 2022 in accordance with its terms. TCF was formed on August 5, 2021, as a Delaware limited liability company with Trinity Capital as its sole equity member for purposes of securing lending in conjunction with a credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) (such credit facility, as amended, the “KeyBank Credit Facility”). TF3 was formed on November 5, 2025, as a Delaware limited liability company with Trinity Capital as its sole equity member for purposes of securing lending in conjunction with a credit agreement with KeyBank (the “KeyBank Term Credit Agreement”). TF1, TCF and TF3 are special purpose bankruptcy-remote entities and are separate legal entities from Trinity Capital. Any assets conveyed to TF1, TCF or TF3 are not available to creditors of the Company or any other entity other than TF1’s, TCF’s, or TF3's respective lenders. TF1, TCF, TF3 and any holding companies are consolidated for financial reporting purposes and in accordance with GAAP, and the portfolio investments held by these subsidiaries, if any, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and recorded at fair value. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As part of the Formation Transactions, Trinity Capital acquired 100% of the equity interests of Trinity Capital Holdings. There has been no activity in Trinity Capital Holdings since acquisition.
As permitted under Regulation S-X and consistent with the guidance in ASC 946-810-45-3, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company does not consolidate the Adviser Sub because it is not an investment company as defined in ASC 946 and provides services exclusively to third parties with ownership by one or more unrelated third-party investors (“External Parties”). The Company does not consolidate Senior Credit Corp, EPT, Direct Lending or CapTrin as the Company does not hold a majority of the ownership or economic interests of such entities, and the Company's representatives do not comprise the majority of the board of managers or board of trustees, as applicable, of Senior Credit Corp, EPT, Direct Lending or CapTrin. The Company does not consolidate the SBIC Fund as it is an investment company as defined in ASC 946 and the Company does not hold a majority of the ownership or economic interests thereof. Pursuant to ASC 946, Senior Credit Corp, the Adviser Sub, EPT, Direct Lending, the SBIC Fund and CapTrin are each accounted for as a portfolio investment of the Company held at fair value and are not included as a consolidated subsidiary in the Company's financial statements. Refer to “Note 12 – Related Party Transactions” for additional information.
In accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, as amended, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries, if any, are considered “significant subsidiaries.” In evaluating these unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries, there are two significance tests utilized per Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X to determine if any of the Company’s investments or unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries are considered significant: the investment test and the income test. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, none of the Company’s investments or unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries met either of these two significance tests.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Loan originations are recorded on the date of the legally binding commitment. Realized gains or losses are recorded using the specific identification method as the difference between the net proceeds received, excluding prepayment fees, if any, and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments written off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment fair values as of the last business day of the reporting period and also includes the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.
Valuation of Investments
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded.
The Company’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC 946 and measured in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that each of the portfolio investments is sold in a hypothetical transaction in the principal or, as applicable, most advantageous market using market participant assumptions as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. The Company values its investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to a consistent valuation policy by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.
The SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), which establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. As adopted, Rule 2a-5 permits boards of directors to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The SEC also adopted Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”), which provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. While the Company’s Board has not elected to designate a valuation designee, the Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.
While the Board is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the Company has engaged independent valuation firms, on a discretionary basis, to provide the Company with valuation assistance with respect to its investments. Specifically, on a quarterly basis, the Company identifies portfolio investments with respect to which an independent valuation firm assists in valuing such investments. The Company selects these portfolio investments based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the potential for material fluctuations in valuation results, size, credit quality and the time lapse since the last valuation of the portfolio investment by an independent valuation firm.
Investments recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 — Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include investments in active exchange-traded equity securities and investments in most U.S. government and agency securities).
Level 2 — Investments whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investment.
Level 3 — Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (for example, investments in illiquid securities issued by privately held companies). These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment.
Given the nature of lending to venture capital-backed growth-oriented companies, 98.8%, based on fair value, of the Company’s investments in these portfolio companies are considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market index for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. The Company uses an internally developed portfolio investment rating system in connection with its investment oversight, portfolio management and analysis, and investment valuation procedures. This system takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors of the portfolio companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
Debt Securities
The debt securities identified on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments are secured loans and equipment financings made to growth-oriented companies. For portfolio investments in debt securities for which the Company has determined that third-party quotes or other independent pricing are not available, the Company generally estimates the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using an income approach.
In its application of the income approach to determine the fair value of debt securities, the Company bases its assessment of fair value on projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the security will likely generate, including analyzing the discounted cash flows of interest and principal amounts for the security, as set forth in the associated loan and equipment financing agreements, as well as market yields and the financial position and credit risk of the portfolio company (the “Hypothetical Market Yield Method”). The discount rate applied to the future cash flows of the security is based on the calibrated yield implied by the terms of the Company’s investment adjusted for changes in market yields and performance of the subject company. The Company’s estimate of the expected repayment date of its loans and equipment financings securities is either the maturity date of the instrument or the anticipated pre-payment date, depending on the facts and circumstances. The Hypothetical Market Yield Method also considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance, market yield movements, and other factors. If (i) there is deterioration in credit quality, (ii) the debt investment is deemed to be controlled by the Company under the 1940 Act, or (iii) a security is in workout status, then the Company may consider other fair value methodologies in determining the fair value of the security, including, but not limited to, the value attributable to the security from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would most likely be received in a liquidation analysis.
Equity Securities and Warrants
Often the Company is issued warrants by issuers as yield enhancements. These warrants are recorded as assets at estimated fair value on the grant date. The Company determines the cost basis of the warrants or other equity securities received based upon their respective fair values on the date of receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and warrants or other equity securities received. Depending on the facts and circumstances, the Company generally utilizes a combination of one or several forms of the market approach and contingent claim analyses (a form of option analysis) to estimate the fair value of the securities as of the measurement date and determines the cost basis using a relative fair value methodology. As part of its application of the market approach, the Company estimates the enterprise value of a portfolio company utilizing customary pricing multiples, based on the development stage of the underlying issuers, or other appropriate valuation methods, such as considering recent transactions in the equity securities of the portfolio company or third-party valuations that are assessed to be indicative of fair value of the respective portfolio company. If appropriate, based on the facts and circumstances, the Company performs an allocation of the enterprise value to the equity securities utilizing a contingent claim analysis and/or other waterfall calculation by which it allocates the enterprise value across the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another.
Fair value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, investments, receivables, payables, and other liabilities, approximate the fair values of such items due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Refer to “Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further discussion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of funds deposited with financial institutions and short-term (original maturity of three months or less) liquid investments in money market deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the money market fund. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents consisted of $22.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund with a yield between 3% - 6%. Cash held in demand deposit accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit and therefore is subject to credit risk. All of the Company’s cash deposits are held at large, established, high credit quality financial institutions, and management believes that the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balances is remote. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any restricted cash.
Other Assets
Other assets generally consist of fixed assets net of accumulated depreciation, leasehold improvements net of accumulated depreciation, right-of-use assets, prepaid expenses, deferred offering costs, unsettled receivables, and security deposits for operating leases.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, income, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
The Company includes net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations in foreign currency and other transactions, if any, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative instruments include foreign currency forward contracts. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on non-control/non-affiliate investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on non-control/non-affiliate investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net cash flows realized on settlement of derivatives are included in realized (gain) loss in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Equity offering costs consist of fees and costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Equity offering costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active.
Security Deposits
Security deposits are collected upon funding equipment financings and are applied in lieu of regular payments at the end of the term.
Debt Financing Costs
The Company records costs related to the issuance of debt obligations as deferred debt financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity life of the obligations. Debt financing costs related to secured or unsecured notes are netted with the outstanding principal balance on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt financing costs related to the KeyBank Credit Facility are recorded as deferred credit facility costs on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Recognition
Interest and Dividend Income
The Company recognizes interest income on an accrual basis and recognizes it as earned in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount (“OID”) initially includes the estimated fair value of detachable warrants obtained in conjunction with the origination of debt securities and is accreted into interest income over the term of the loan as a yield enhancement based on the effective yield method. In addition, the Company may also be entitled to an end-of-term (“EOT”) payment. EOT payments to be paid at the termination of the debt agreements are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the debt based on the effective yield method. When a portfolio company pre-pays their indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity date, the acceleration of the unaccreted OID and EOT payment is recognized as interest income.
The Company has a limited number of debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company will generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or management does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. The Company recorded $1.1 million and $2.1 million in PIK interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.0 million in PIK interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Income related to application or origination payments, including facility commitment fees, net of related expenses and generally collected in advance, is amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company recognizes nonrecurring fees and additional OID and EOT payment received in consideration for contract modifications commencing in the quarter relating to the specific modification.
The Company records dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at such other time that an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $1.3 million in dividend income, consisting of $0.6 million from controlled investments and $0.7 million from affiliate investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $5.9 million in dividend income, consisting of $4.3 million from controlled investments and $1.6 million from affiliate investments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.3 million in dividend income, respectively, all of which was from affiliate investments.
The Company recognizes one-time fee income, including, but not limited to, structuring fees, agency fees, prepayment penalties, arranger fees and exit fees related to a change in ownership of the portfolio company, as other income when earned. These fees are generally earned when the portfolio company enters into an equipment financing or unitranche arrangement or pays off its outstanding indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity. In addition, fee income may include fees for originations and administrative agent services rendered by the Company to Senior Credit Corp. Such fees are earned in the period that the services are rendered.
Non-Accrual Policy
When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, or if management otherwise does not expect that principal, interest, and other obligations due will be collected in full, the Company will generally place the debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until all principal and interest due has been paid or the Company believes the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Any uncollected interest is reversed from income in the period that collection of the interest receivable is determined to be doubtful. However, the Company may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
As of June 30, 2026, loans to four portfolio companies and equipment financings to one portfolio company were on non-accrual status, with a total cost of approximately $41.0 million, and a total fair value of approximately $18.7 million, or 0.8%, of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, loans to three portfolio companies and equipment financings to one portfolio company were on non-accrual status, with a total cost of approximately $20.7 million, and a total fair value of approximately $15.2 million, or 0.7%, of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio.
Net Realized Gains / (Losses)
Realized gains / (losses) are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment or a financial instrument and the cost basis of the investment or financial instrument, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written off during the period net of recoveries and realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions. Net proceeds exclude any prepayment penalties, exit fees, and OID and EOT acceleration. Prepayment penalties and exit fees received at the time of sale or redemption are included in fee income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. OID and EOT acceleration is included in interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation)
Net change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) reflects the net change in the fair value of the investment portfolio and financial instruments and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation on exited investments and financial instruments to realized gains or losses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has issued and may, from time to time, issue restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to its officers and employees under the 2019 Trinity Capital Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and to its non-employee directors under the Trinity Capital Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, as amended. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, the Company measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of its common stock on the date of the grant. For stock option awards, the Company estimates fair value using the Monte Carlo model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions such as expected stock price volatility, expected term of the option, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, and reverses all unvested costs associated with the stock option awards in the period they are forfeited. The Company amortizes the fair value of the awards as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term.
The Company has also adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on stock-based payment awards) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and not delay recognition of a tax benefit until the tax benefit is realized through a reduction to taxes payable. Accordingly, the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Earnings Per Share
The Company's earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the unvested shares of restricted stock awarded pursuant to Trinity Capital’s equity compensation plans are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the basic earnings per share calculation. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming all potential shares had been issued and the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Diluted EPS, if any, during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 reflects the dilutive effect of common stock deliverable pursuant to stock options which are subject to certain time-based and market-based vesting conditions before the delivery of the underlying common stock. Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated, currently qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal tax purposes. In order to maintain its treatment as a RIC, the Company is generally required to distribute at least annually to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (which generally includes its net ordinary taxable income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt income (if any). The Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on these distributed amounts but will pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on any retained amounts.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), as modified by ASC 946. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, or uncertain tax positions, would be recorded as tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The 2022 - 2024 federal tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The 2021 - 2024 state tax years for the Company remain subject to examination by the state taxing authorities.
Based on federal excise distribution requirements applicable to RICs, the Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed taxable income and gains unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income or gain realized, but not distributed, in the preceding years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company and on which the Company paid corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company, at its discretion, may determine to carry forward taxable income or gain and pay a 4% excise tax on the amount by which it falls short of this calendar-year distribution requirement. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income and capital gains as required on an annual basis.
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount of taxable income to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders.
Note 3. Investments
The Company provides debt, including loans, equipment financings and asset based lending to growth-oriented companies, including institutional investor-backed companies, primarily in the United States. The Company’s investment strategy includes making investments consisting primarily of term loans and equipment financings, and, to a lesser extent, working capital loans, equity, and equity-related investments. In addition, the Company may obtain warrants or contingent exit fees at funding from many of its portfolio companies.
Debt Securities
The Company’s debt securities primarily consist of direct investments in interest-bearing secured loans and equipment financings to privately held companies based in the United States. Secured loans are generally secured by a blanket first lien or a blanket second lien on the assets of the portfolio company. Equipment financings typically include a specific asset lien on mission-critical assets as well as a second lien on the assets of the portfolio company. These debt securities typically have a term of between three and five years from the original investment date. Certain of the debt securities are “covenant-lite” loans, which generally are loans that do not have a complete set of financial maintenance covenants and have covenants that are incurrence-based, meaning they are only tested and can only be breached following an affirmative action of the borrower rather than by a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. The equipment financings in the investment portfolio generally have fixed interest rates. The secured loans in the investment portfolio generally have floating interest rates subject to interest rate floors. Both equipment financings and secured loans generally include an EOT payment.
The specific terms of each debt security vary depending on the creditworthiness of the portfolio company and the projected value of the financed assets. Companies with stronger creditworthiness may receive an initial period of lower financing factor, which is analogous to an interest-only period on a traditional term loan. Equipment financings may include upfront interim payments and security deposits. Equipment financing arrangements have various structural protections, including customary default penalties, information and reporting rights, material adverse change or investor abandonment provisions, consent rights for any additions or changes to senior debt, and, as needed, intercreditor agreements with cross-default provisions to protect the Company’s second lien positions.
Warrant Investments
In connection with the Company’s debt investments, the Company may receive warrants in the portfolio company. Warrants received in connection with a debt investment typically include a potentially discounted contract price to exercise, and thus, as a portfolio company appreciates in value, the Company may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. The warrants typically contain provisions that protect the Company as a minority-interest holder, as well as secured or unsecured put rights, or rights to sell such securities back to the portfolio company, upon the occurrence of specified events. In certain cases, the Company may also obtain follow-up rights in connection with these equity interests, which allow the Company to participate in future financing rounds.
Equity Investments
In specific circumstances, the Company may seek to make direct equity investments in situations where it is appropriate to align the interests of the Company with key management and stockholders of the portfolio company, and to allow for participation in the appreciation in the equity values of the portfolio company. These equity investments are generally made in connection with debt investments. The Company seeks to maintain fully diluted equity positions in its portfolio companies of 5% to 50% and may have controlling equity interests in some instances.
The Company’s portfolio investments are in companies conducting business in a variety of industries. Industry classifications have been updated to a preferred presentation and the prior year has been amended to conform with the new preferred presentation. The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s portfolio investments by industry at cost and fair value and as a percentage of the total portfolio as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Certain Risk Factors
In the ordinary course of business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company identifies, measures and monitors risk through various control mechanisms, including investment limits and diversifying exposures and activities across a variety of instruments, markets and counterparties.
Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of financial instruments because of changes in market conditions, including as a result of changes in the credit quality of a particular issuer, credit spreads, interest rates, and other movements and volatility in security prices or commodities. In particular, the Company may invest in issuers that are experiencing or have experienced financial or business difficulties (including difficulties resulting from the initiation or prospect of significant litigation or bankruptcy proceedings), which involves significant risks. The Company manages its exposure to market risk through the use of risk management strategies and various analytical monitoring techniques.
The Company’s investments are generally comprised of securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.
The Company’s investments consist of growth-oriented companies, many of which have relatively limited operating histories and may experience variation in operating results. Many of these companies conduct business in regulated industries and could be affected by changes in government regulations. Most of the Company’s borrowers will need additional capital to satisfy their continuing working capital needs and other requirements, and in many instances, to service the interest and principal payments on the debt.
Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies.
The following is a summary of the fair value and location of the Company’s derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities held as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio investments consisted primarily of investments in secured loans and equipment financings. The fair value amounts have been measured as of the reporting date and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to that date. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the reporting date may be different than amounts reported.
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its investments based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized within the Level 3 tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The fair value determination of each portfolio investment categorized as Level 3 requires one or more of the following unobservable inputs:
•
Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers;
•
Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company;
•
Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;
•
Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment;
•
Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and net debt/EBITDA ratio) applicable to the investment;
•
Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio);
•
Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;
•
Projected operating results of the portfolio company;
•
Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment;
•
Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed;
•
Changes in the economic environment, which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;
•
Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company;
•
Qualitative assessment of key management;
•
Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment; and
•
Time to exit.
The use of significant unobservable inputs creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments, are earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and revenue multiples (both projected and historic). Significant increases (decreases) in EBITDA and revenue multiple inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Similarly, significant increases (decreases) in volatility inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value assessment. Conversely, significant increases (decreases) in weighted average cost of capital inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. However, due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the tables below.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value by investment type on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). The hypothetical market yield is defined as the exit price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity and warrant securities are performance multiples and portfolio company specific adjustment factors. Additional inputs used in the option pricing model include industry volatility, risk free interest rate and estimated time to exit. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. For some investments, additional consideration may be given to data from the last round of financing, merger or acquisition events near the measurement date.

2025 Notes
Concurrent with the completion of the Private Common Stock Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company completed its offering of $105.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the unsecured 2025 Notes in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the “144A Note Offering”). Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), as the initial purchaser, exercised in full its option to purchase or place additional 2025 Notes and on January 29, 2020, the Company issued and sold an additional $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. As a result, the Company issued and sold a total of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the 144A Note Offering.
Concurrent with the closing of the 144A Note Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the purchasers of the 2025 Notes in the 144A Note Offering. Pursuant to the terms of this registration rights agreement, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement, which was initially declared effective on October 20, 2020, registering the public resale of the 2025 Notes by the holders thereof that elected to include their 2025 Notes in such registration statement.
The 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of January 16, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (together with its successor in interest, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, the “Trustee”), and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 16, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “2025 Notes Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.
On July 22, 2022, the Company issued $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes in an additional issuance of such 2025 Notes. On July 27, 2022, the underwriters exercised, in full, their option to purchase from the Company an additional $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes solely to cover over-allotments in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. The 2025 Notes issued pursuant to the July 2022 offering were treated as a single series with the then-existing 2025 Notes under the 2025 Notes Indenture (the “Then-Existing 2025 Notes”) and had the same terms as the Then-Existing 2025 Notes (other than issue date and issue price). The 2025 Notes had the same CUSIP number and were fungible and ranked equally.
In connection with the additional issuance of the 2025 Notes, the 2025 Notes began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TRINL” on July 29, 2022.
The 2025 Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 7.00% per year that was payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2020. The 2025 Notes were the direct, general unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with all of the Company’s then-existing and future unsecured indebtedness or other obligations that were not so subordinated.
On May 17, 2024, the Company redeemed $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the $182.5 million in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding 2025 Notes.
On January 16, 2025, the 2025 Notes matured pursuant to their terms and were repaid in full. The 2025 Notes are no longer outstanding or listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025
On December 11, 2020, the Company completed a private offering (the “Private Convertible Note Offering”) of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its unsecured Convertible Notes in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. KBW acted as the initial purchaser and placement agent in connection with the Private Convertible Note Offering pursuant to a purchase/placement agreement dated December 4, 2020, by and between the Company and KBW.
The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to the Base Indenture and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Concurrent with the closing of the Convertible Note Offering, on December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the holders of the Convertible Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. Aggregate offering costs in connection with the Convertible Note Offering, including the initial purchaser and placement agent discount and commissions, were approximately $1.9 million, which were capitalized and deferred.
The Convertible Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.00% per year, subject to additional interest upon certain events, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2021. Had an investment grade rating not been maintained with respect to the Convertible Notes, additional interest of 0.75% per annum would have accrued on the Convertible Notes until such time as the Convertible Notes received an investment grade rating of “BBB-” (or its equivalent) or better. The Convertible Notes rating remained at investment grade through the conversion date. The Convertible Notes would have matured on December 11, 2025.
On February 20, 2025, the holders of the Convertible Notes exercised their right to convert all of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes. At its election, the Company paid $66.2 million in cash to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Convertible Notes and any accrued interest, such settlement amount being determined based on the then existing conversion rate of 81.6439 per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The net amount of the carrying value of the Convertible Notes and cash paid of $15.8 million was recorded in Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and as such, no realized gain or loss was recorded. As of June 30, 2026, the Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding.
The Convertible Notes were direct unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with all of the Company’s then-existing and future unsecured indebtedness or other obligations that were not so subordinated, and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness or other obligations that were expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes were accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt Instruments with Conversion and Other Options. In accounting for the Convertible Notes, the Company estimated at the time of issuance that the values of the debt and the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes were approximately 99.1% and 0.9%, respectively. The original issue discount of 0.9%, or approximately $0.5 million, attributable to the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes was recorded in “capital in excess of par value” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Unfunded Commitments
The Company’s commitments and contingencies consist primarily of unused commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or equipment financings to the Company’s portfolio companies. A portion of these unfunded contractual commitments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are generally dependent upon the portfolio company reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available. Furthermore, the Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow the Company relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the Company. Since a portion of these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded contractual commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As such, the Company’s disclosure of unfunded contractual commitments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 includes only those commitments that are available at the request of the portfolio company and are unencumbered by milestones or additional lending provisions.
The Company has entered into capital commitments with Senior Credit Corp, Direct Lending and CapTrin in the amount of $21.4 million, $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. In connection with the initial closing of Trinity Capital SBIC LP on March 13, 2026, the Company committed $5.0 million as a limited partner. Capital contributions will be made at such times and in such amounts as directed by the general partner in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.0 million, $87.4 million, $29.0 million and $4.7 million for Senior Credit Corp, Direct Lending, CapTrin and SBIC, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $114.2 million to 15 portfolio companies.
The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet commitments as of June 30, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.0 million and $85.1 million for Senior Credit Corp and Direct Lending, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there were no unfunded commitments for CapTrin. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $82.3 million to ten portfolio companies. The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet commitments as of December 31, 2025.
The Company will fund its unfunded commitments, if any, from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (which are typically through existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under its KeyBank Credit Facility) and maintains adequate liquidity to fund its unfunded commitments through these sources.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of representations and warranties, and general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company; however, based on the Company’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.
Leases
ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) requires that a lessee evaluate its leases to determine whether they should be classified as operating or finance leases. The Company classified the leases for its headquarters and other administrative office spaces as operating leases.
The total lease expense incurred for three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The total lease expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the right of use assets related to the office operating leases were $7.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and the lease liabilities were $7.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the weighted-average discount rate determined for the operating lease liabilities was 7.96%. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term for the operating leases was 4.7 years and 5.2 years, respectively.
The following table shows future minimum payments under the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2026, there were no material legal matters or material litigation pending of which the Company is aware.

The Company authorized 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. On September 27, 2019, the Company was initially capitalized by the issuance of 10 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $150 to its sole stockholder.
On January 16, 2020, the Company completed the Private Common Stock Offering in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Company’s amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) provides for the reinvestment of distributions in the form of common stock on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive distributions in cash. As a result, if the Company declares a cash distribution, its stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the opt out date will have their cash distribution (net of applicable withholding tax) automatically reinvested into additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The share requirements of the DRIP may be satisfied through the issuance of common shares or through open market purchases of common shares by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of the Company’s common stock on the valuation date determined for each distribution by the Board.
The Company’s DRIP is administered by its transfer agent on behalf of the Company’s record holders and participating brokerage firms. Brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries may decide not to participate in the Company’s DRIP but may provide a similar distribution reinvestment plan for their clients.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 26,342 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $0.5 million under the DRIP. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 72,751 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $1.2 million under the DRIP.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 94,569 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $1.4 million under the DRIP.

Note 8. Equity Incentive Plans
2019 Long Term Incentive Plan
The Company’s Board initially adopted and approved the 2019 Trinity Capital Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2019 Long Term Incentive Plan”) on October 17, 2019 and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan on June 17, 2021 at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan becoming effective on June 17, 2021. The Company’s Board adopted and approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2019 Trinity Capital Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan on April 23, 2024 to, among other things, increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan by 5,800,000 shares (from 3,600,000 shares to 9,400,000 shares) and the Company’s stockholders approved such amendment on June 12, 2024 at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with such amendment becoming effective on June 12, 2024.
Under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, awards of restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options (together with incentive stock options, “Options”) may be granted to certain of the Company’s executive officers, employee directors and other employees (collectively, the “Employee Participants”) in accordance with the SEC exemptive order the Company received on May 27, 2021 (the “SEC Exemptive Order”). While the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan contemplates grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, Options, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards and other stock-based awards to the Employee Participants, the Company only sought and received exemptive relief from the SEC pursuant to the SEC Exemptive Order to grant awards of restricted stock and Options. As a result, the Company will only grant awards of such securities under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Employee Participants will have the right to receive dividends on such awarded restricted stock, unless and until the restricted stock is forfeited.
Subject to certain adjustments under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan is 9,400,000 shares. The 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan. The 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date it was initially adopted by the Board, unless terminated sooner by action of the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable.
For additional information regarding the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, please refer to the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2021 and June 14, 2024, and the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The following table summarizes issuances, vesting, and retirement of shares under the plan as well as the fair value of granted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands), except per share information.

Option Awards
On March 14, 2025 (the “Option Awards Grant Date”), the Company’s Board approved grants of non-statutory stock options to certain executive officers of the Company to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Option Awards”) for a total of 1,500,000 shares. Each Option Award is subject to certain time-based and market-based vesting conditions, which are set forth in the Company’s Non-Statutory Stock Option Award Agreement.
Within four years following the Option Awards Grant Date, the volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) per share of the Company’s common stock on any established stock exchange or national market system for ninety (90) consecutive calendar days ending on the last trading day preceding the applicable day must be equal to or greater than $23.75. If the VWAP condition is satisfied, and the applicable recipient of the Option Award remains in the continuous employment of the Company through the applicable vesting date (subject to certain limited exceptions), the stock option will vest as follows: 25% on March 14, 2026 with the remaining 75% vesting pro rata over the twelve (12) full calendar quarters immediately following March 14, 2026. The Option Awards expire on March 14, 2035.
The $15.83 exercise price of the Option Awards was calculated based on the closing stock price on the Option Awards Grant Date. As of June 30, 2026, there were no Option Awards exercised as time-based and market-based vesting conditions had not been met as of that date.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of total compensation costs related to the Option Awards. As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The fair value of the Option Awards as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $0.9 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of total compensation costs related to the Option Awards. As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years. The fair value of the Option Awards as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $1.7 million.

The Company’s Board initially adopted and approved the Trinity Capital Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (as amended, the “2019 Restricted Stock Plan”) on October 17, 2019 and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan on June 17, 2021 at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan becoming effective on June 17, 2021.

The Company’s stockholders approved such amendment on June 10, 2026 at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with such amendment becoming effective on June 10, 2026.
The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan provides for grants of restricted stock awards (“Non-Employee Director Awards”) to the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Non-Employee Director Participants”), which are directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) in accordance with the SEC Exemptive Order. The Non-Employee Director Participants will have the right to receive dividends on such awarded restricted stock, unless and until the restricted stock is forfeited.
Subject to certain adjustments under the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to Non-Employee Director Awards is 220,000 shares.

Adjustment for dilutive effect of Option Awards and Convertible Notes
Diluted earnings (loss) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period included any additional shares of common stock that would be issued if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised. In accordance with ASU 2020-06, the Company is required to disclose diluted EPS using (i) the treasury stock method for Option Awards that assumes shares were exercised at the beginning of the reporting period (or at time of issuance, if later) and is intended to show the dilution effect to common stockholders and (ii) the if-converted method for the Convertible Notes that assumes the conversion of convertible securities at the beginning of the reporting period and is intended to show the maximum dilution effect to common stockholders regardless of how the conversion can occur. During three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the market-based conditions for the Option Awards were not met and the Convertible Notes were converted in full and are no longer outstanding, as such, both were not considered in the calculation of diluted EPS.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated, currently qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify annually as, a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal tax purposes. In order to maintain its treatment as a RIC, the Company is generally required to distribute at least annually to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (which generally includes its net ordinary taxable income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt income (if any). The Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on these distributed amounts, but will pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on any retained amounts.
The amount of taxable income to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the annual earnings estimated by management of the Company. Net capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. In the event the Company’s taxable income (including any net capital gains) for a fiscal year falls below the amount of distributions declared and paid with respect to that year, however, a portion of the total amount of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.
Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their appropriate tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, $0.6 million and $1.7 million was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, $0.6 million and $1.2 million was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $0.3 million in outstanding receivables due from the SBIC Fund that was included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 13. Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it has a single operating segment in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. While the Company derives income and capital appreciation by providing debt to growth-oriented companies across various industries, the Company and the CODM evaluate and monitor performance of the business on a consolidated basis. Further, each investment is evaluated and managed using similar processes and shared operations support functions such as deal origination, underwriting, loan servicing in addition to the administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. The accounting policies of the segment align with those outlined in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes of the consolidated financial statements.
The CODM uses consolidated net investment income and net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations when allocating resources and assessing the Company’s performance. Net investment income is comprised of consolidated total investment income (“segment revenues”) and consolidated total net operating expenses (“significant segment expenses”). The net increase/(decrease) in net assets is comprised of consolidated net investment income and consolidated net realized gain/(loss) from investments and consolidated net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments. These performance metrics are considered the key segment measure of profit or loss received by the CODM. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets, investments held on the Consolidated Statements of Investments, and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the income tax disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and is to be applied prospectively, with an option for retrospective application. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on December 31, 2025, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) related to expense disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require public entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of expenses included within relevant income statement expense captions, as well as additional disclosures about selling expenses. This update will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance with respect to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 15. Subsequent Events

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” refer to Trinity Capital Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking.

Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of several factors discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of Part II of this quarterly report and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2026, including but not limited to the following:
•
our future operating results;
•
our dependence upon our management team and key investment professionals;
•
our ability to manage our business and future growth;
•
risks related to investments in growth-oriented companies, other venture capital-backed companies and generally U.S. companies;
•
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
•
the use of leverage;
•
risks related to the uncertainty of the value of our portfolio investments;
•
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, including as a result of international conflicts, prolonged governmental shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, disruptions related to tariffs or other trade or sanction related issues, the interest rate and inflation rate environments or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;
•
uncertainty surrounding domestic and/or global financial and/or political stability;
•
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
•
risks related to changes in interest rates and inflation rates, our expenses, and other general economic conditions and the effect on our net investment income;
•
the impact of changes in laws or regulations (including the interpretation thereof), including tax laws, on our operations and/or the operations of our portfolio companies;
•
risks related to market volatility, including general price and volume fluctuations in stock markets;
•
our ability to make distributions; and
•
our ability to maintain our status as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and qualify annually for tax treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Additionally, there may be other risks that are otherwise described from time to time in the reports that we file with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be considered in light of various important factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as others. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed throughout this quarterly report. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by law. Because we are an investment company, the forward-looking statements and projections contained in this quarterly report are excluded from the safe harbor protections provided by Section 27A(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).
Overview
We are a specialty lending company providing debt, including loans, equipment financings and asset based lending, to growth-oriented companies, including institutional investor-backed companies. We are an internally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a BDC and a RIC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through our investments across five distinct vertical markets. We seek to achieve our investment objective by making investments consisting primarily of term loans, equipment financings, and asset based lending and, to a lesser extent, working capital loans, equity and equity-related investments. In addition, we may obtain warrants or contingent exit fees at funding from many of our portfolio companies, providing an additional potential source of investment returns. We generally are required to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets in accordance with the 1940 Act but may invest up to 30% of our total assets in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the 1940 Act.
We target investments in growth-oriented companies, which are typically private companies, including institutional investor-backed companies. We define “growth-oriented companies” as companies that have significant ownership and active participation by sponsors, such as institutional investors or private equity firms, and expected annual revenues of up to $100 million. Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we are not limited to investing in any particular industry or geographic area and seek to invest in under-financed segments of the private credit markets.
Our loans generally may have initial interest-only periods of up to 36 months, and our equipment financings generally begin amortizing immediately. Our loans and equipment financings generally have a total term of up to 60 months. These investments are typically secured by a blanket first position lien, a specific asset lien on mission-critical assets and/or a blanket second position lien. We may also make a limited number of direct equity and equity-related investments in conjunction with our debt investments. We target growth-oriented companies that have recently issued equity to raise cash to offset potential cash flow needs related to projected growth, have achieved positive cash flow to cover debt service, or have institutional investors committed to providing additional funding. A loan or equipment financing may be structured to tie the amortization of the loan or equipment financing to the portfolio company’s projected cash balances while cash is still available for operations. As such, the loan or equipment financing may have a reduced risk of default. We believe that the amortizing nature of our investments significantly reduces the risk of our investments over a relatively short period. We focus on protecting and recovering principal in each investment and structure our investments to provide downside protection.
Our History
Trinity Capital Inc. was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 12, 2019 and commenced operations on January 16, 2020. Prior to January 16, 2020, we had no operations, except for matters relating to our formation and organization as a BDC.
On January 16, 2020, through a series of transactions, we acquired Trinity Capital Investment, LLC, Trinity Capital Fund II, L.P., Trinity Capital Fund III, L.P., Trinity Capital Fund IV, L.P., and Trinity Sidecar Income Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Legacy Funds”) and all of their respective assets, including their respective investment portfolios, as well as Trinity Capital Holdings, LLC, a holding company whose subsidiaries managed and/or had the right to receive fees from certain of the Legacy Funds. In order to complete these transactions, we used a portion of the proceeds from our private equity offering and private debt offering that occurred on January 16, 2020 (the “Private Offerings”).
On February 2, 2021, we completed our initial public offering of 8,006,291 shares of our common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full. Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 29, 2021 under the symbol “TRIN.” See “Recent Developments” for additional information.
On December 5, 2022, we entered into a joint venture agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by a specialty credit manager to co-manage Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Senior Credit Corp”). Senior Credit Corp invests in secured loans and equipment financings to growth-oriented companies that have been originated by us.
On March 16, 2023, we formed an unconsolidated wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Capital Adviser LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adviser Sub”). We were granted exemptive relief by the SEC that permits us to organize, acquire, wholly own and operate the Adviser Sub as an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Adviser Act”). The Adviser Sub may provide investment advisory and related services to one or more investment vehicles (the “Adviser Funds”) with ownership by one or more unrelated third-party investors and receive fee income for such services.
On June 28, 2024, we and a specialty credit manager funded a portion of their respective capital commitments to commence operations of a credit fund, EPT 16 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On August 28, 2025, EPT 16 LLC converted into a Delaware statutory trust named Eagle Point Trinity Senior Secured Lending Company (“EPT”) and elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. EPT has acquired and intends to acquire, hold and, as applicable, dispose of investments that have been originated by us.
On September 24, 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a specialty credit manager to co-manage Direct Lending 2025 LLC (“Direct Lending”), a Delaware limited liability company. Direct Lending has acquired loans originated by the Company and intends to acquire, hold and, as applicable, dispose of investments as a co-investment alongside us.
On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an internally managed business development company (“CapTrin JV Partner”), to co-manage CapTrin Partners, LLC (“CapTrin”), a Delaware limited liability company. CapTrin invests primarily in first-out senior secured debt opportunities in the lower middle market.
On March 13, 2026, Trinity Capital SBIC LP (the “SBIC Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, held its initial closing. The SBIC Fund is organized to operate as a small business investment company (“SBIC”) licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Trinity SBIC GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser Sub, serves as the general partner of the SBIC Fund. The Adviser Sub provides investment advisory and management services to the SBIC Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and receives fee income for such services.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. Our critical accounting estimates, including those relating to valuation of investments and income recognition, are described below. Please refer to “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and measured in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that each of the portfolio investments is sold in a hypothetical transaction in the principal or, as applicable, most advantageous market using market participant assumptions as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. The Company values its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.
The SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), which establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. As adopted, Rule 2a-5 permits boards of directors to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The SEC also adopted Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”), which provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. While the Company’s Board has not elected to designate a valuation designee, the Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.
While the Board is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the Company has engaged independent valuation firms to provide the Company with valuation assistance with respect to its investments. The Company engages independent valuation firms on a discretionary basis. Specifically, on a quarterly basis, the Company identifies portfolio investments with respect to which an independent valuation firm assists in valuing certain investments. The Company selects these portfolio investments based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the potential for material fluctuations in valuation results, size, credit quality and the time since the last valuation of the portfolio investment by an independent valuation firm.
Investments recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 — Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include investments in active exchange-traded equity securities and investments in most U.S. government and agency securities).
Level 2 — Investments whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investment.
Level 3 — Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (for example, investments in illiquid securities issued by privately held companies). These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment.
Given the nature of lending to predominantly venture capital-backed and growth-oriented companies, substantially all of the Company’s investments in these portfolio companies are considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indexes for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company uses an internally developed portfolio investment rating system in connection with its investment oversight, portfolio management and analysis and investment valuation procedures. This system takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors of the portfolio companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
Fair value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, investments, receivables, payables and other liabilities approximate the fair values of such items due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Income Recognition
The Company recognizes interest income on an accrual basis and recognizes it as earned in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount (“OID”) initially includes the estimated fair value of detachable warrants obtained in conjunction with the origination of debt securities, and is accreted into interest income over the term of the loan as a yield enhancement based on the effective yield method. Interest income from payment-in-kind (“PIK”) represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
In addition, the Company may also be entitled to an end-of-term (“EOT”) payment. EOT payments to be paid at the termination of the debt agreement are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the debt based on the effective yield method. When a portfolio company pre-pays their indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity date, the acceleration of the unaccreted OID and EOT is recognized as interest income.
Income related to application or origination payments, including facility commitment fees, net of related expenses and generally collected in advance, are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company recognizes nonrecurring fees and additional OID and EOT received in consideration for contract modifications commencing in the quarter relating to the specific modification.
The Company records dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at such other time that an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $1.3 million in dividend income, consisting of $0.6 million from controlled investments and $0.7 million from affiliate investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $5.9 million in dividend income, consisting of $4.3 million from controlled investments and $1.6 million from affiliate investments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.3 million in dividend income, respectively, all of which was from affiliate investments.
The Company recognizes one-time fee income, including, but not limited to, structuring fees, prepayment penalties, and exit fees related to a change in ownership of the portfolio company, as other income when earned. These fees are generally earned when the portfolio company enters into an equipment financing arrangement or pays off their outstanding indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity. In addition, fee income may include fees for originations and administrative agent services rendered by the Company to Senior Credit Corp. Such fees are earned in the period that the services are rendered.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies, equivalent to the investment’s carrying amount. Industry and sector concentrations will vary from period to period based on portfolio activity.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies collectively represented approximately 25.0% and 26.4%, respectively, of the total fair value of the Company’s investments in portfolio companies.

The level of our investment activity can vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt, including loans and equipment financings, and equity capital required by growth-oriented companies, the general economic environment and market conditions and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
Portfolio Asset Quality
Our portfolio management team uses an ongoing investment risk rating system to characterize and monitor our outstanding loans and equipment financings. Our portfolio management team monitors and, when appropriate, recommends changes to the investment risk ratings. Our investment committee reviews the recommendations and/or changes to the investment risk ratings, which are submitted on a quarterly basis to the Board and its audit committee.
For our investment risk rating system, we review seven different criteria and, based on our review of such criteria, we assign a risk rating on a scale of 1 to 5, as set forth in the following illustration.
The following table shows the distribution of our secured loan and equipment financing investments on the 1 to 5 investment risk rating scale range at fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

An investment risk rating is not applied to Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our debt investments had a weighted average risk rating score of 3.0 and 2.9, respectively.
Debt Investments on Non-Accrual Status
When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, or if our management otherwise does not expect that principal, interest, and other obligations due will be collected in full, we will generally place the debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until all principal and interest due has been paid or we believe the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Any uncollected interest is reversed from income in the period that collection of the interest receivable is determined to be doubtful. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
As of June 30, 2026, loans to four portfolio companies and equipment financings to one portfolio company were on non-accrual status with a total cost of approximately $41.0 million, and a total fair value of approximately $18.7 million, or 0.8%, of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, loans to three portfolio companies and equipment financings to one portfolio company were on non-accrual status with a total cost of approximately $20.7 million, and a total fair value of approximately $15.2 million, or 0.7%, of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, total investment income was approximately $87.2 million and $177.3 million, respectively, which represents an approximate effective yield of 15.0% and 15.4%, respectively, on the average investments during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total investment income was approximately $69.5 million and $134.9 million, respectively, which represents an approximate effective yield of 15.7% and 15.5%, respectively, on the average investments during the period. The increase in investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is due to higher interest income and amortization of OID and EOT based on an increased principal value of income producing debt investments and increase in dividend income.
Net Operating Expenses and Excise Taxes
Our operating expenses are comprised of interest and fees on our borrowings, employee compensation, professional fees, general and administrative expenses, and excise taxes. Our operating expenses totaled approximately $41.2 million and $86.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and approximately $34.7 million and $67.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in our operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is discussed with respect to each component of such expenses below.
Interest Expense and Other Debt Financing Costs
Our interest expense and other debt financing costs are primarily comprised of interest and fees related to our secured borrowings, the 4.375% Notes due 2026 (the “August 2026 Notes”), the 4.25% Notes due 2026 (the “December 2026 Notes”), the 7.875% Notes due March 2029 (the “March 2029 Notes”), the 7.875% Notes due September 2029 (the “September 2029 Notes”), the 7.54% Notes due 2027 (the “Series A 2027 Notes”), the 7.60% Notes due 2028 (the “Series A 2028 Notes”), the 7.66% Notes due 2029 (the “Series A 2029 Notes” and together with the Series A 2027 Notes and Series A 2028 Notes, the “Series A Notes”), the 6.750% Notes due 2030 (the “July 2030 Notes”) and the 7.00% Notes due 2031 (the “May 2031 Notes”). Interest expense and other debt financing costs on our borrowings totaled approximately $24.8 million and $48.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $18.0 million and $35.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our weighted average effective interest rate, comprised of interest and amortization of fees and discount, was approximately 7.2% and 7.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 7.4% and 7.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the addition of the KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility, July 2030 Notes and May 2031 Notes.
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Employee compensation and benefits totaled approximately $12.4 million and $29.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $12.5 and $23.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in employee compensation expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 relates primarily to the increased variable compensation related to a higher headcount and stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company had 113 and 95 employees, respectively.
Professional Fees Expenses
Professional fees expenses, consisting of legal fees, accounting fees, third-party valuation fees, and talent acquisition fees, totaled approximately $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $1.8 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in professional fees expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 resulted primarily from a decrease in legal fees.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include insurance premiums, rent, state taxes and various other expenses related to our ongoing operations. Our general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $3.0 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $2.2 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to additional office rent and related expenses.
Allocated Expenses to Trinity Capital Adviser, LLC
The resource sharing agreement (the “Sharing Agreement”) with the Adviser Sub provides the Adviser Sub with access to the Company’s human capital resources, facilities and systems. Under the terms of the Sharing Agreement, we allocate the related expenses of such shared resources to the Adviser Sub based on total assets under management by the Adviser Sub and us. The Company’s total expenses are net of $0.9 million and $2.0 million of expenses allocated to the Adviser Sub for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The Company’s total expenses are net of $0.5 million and $0.9 million of expenses allocated to the Adviser Sub for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in allocated expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to additional assets managed by the Adviser Sub.
Excise Taxes
Our excise taxes totaled approximately $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net Investment Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized approximately $87.2 million and $69.5 million, respectively, in total investment income as compared to approximately $41.2 million and $34.7 million, respectively, in total expenses, including excise tax expense, resulting in net investment income of $46.0 million and $34.8 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized approximately $177.3 million and $134.9 million, respectively, in total investment income as compared to approximately $86.8 million and $67.7 million, respectively, in total expenses, including excise tax expense, resulting in net investment income of $90.5 million and $67.2 million, respectively.
Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment or a financial instrument and the cost basis of the investment or financial instrument, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written off during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our gross realized gains primarily consisted of the repayment of one equity position. Our gross realized losses primarily consisted of the conversion of two debt positions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our gross realized gains primarily consisted of the repayment of one equipment financing position and the repayment of one warrant position. Our gross realized losses primarily consisted of the sale of one equipment financing position, the extinguishment of one debt position and one receivable associated with a loan position.
The net realized gains (losses) from the sales, repayments, or exits of investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, totaled approximately $41.4 million and $68.5 million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of offerings of our securities, including our “at-the-market” offering, the August 2026 Notes offering, the December 2026 Notes offering, the March 2029 Notes offering, the September 2029 Notes offering, the Series A Notes offering, the July 2030 Notes and the May 2031 Notes offering and borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility and the KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility, each of which were outstanding as of June 30, 2026, as well as cash flows from our operations, including investment sales and repayments and income earned on investments and cash equivalents. Our primary use of our funds includes investments in portfolio companies, payments of interest on our outstanding debt, and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We also expect to use our funds to pay distributions to our stockholders. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our borrowings, including under the KeyBank Credit Facility and the KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility or any future credit facility, as well as proceeds from the turnover of our portfolio, to finance our investment objectives and activities.
From time to time, we may enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing KeyBank Credit Facility or KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility, or issue additional securities in private or public offerings. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions, and other factors.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $3.1 million, which is the net result of $247.9 million of cash provided by financing activities, offset by $244.4 million of cash used in operating activities and $0.4 million of cash used in investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $16.6 million, which is the net result of $203.8 million of cash provided by financing activities, offset by $186.9 million of cash used in operating activities and $0.3 million of cash used in investing activities.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund. Cash held in demand deposit accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit and therefore is subject to credit risk. All of the Company’s cash deposits are held at large established high credit quality financial institutions, and management believes that the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balances is remote.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had approximately $407.9 million and $316.1 million, respectively, of available borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility, subject to its terms and regulatory requirements. Cash and cash equivalents, taken together with available borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2026, are expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term and long term.
Refer to “Note 5 – Borrowings” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information, including a discussion of our borrowings.
Asset Coverage Requirements
In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. On September 27, 2019, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) and our initial stockholder approved the application to us of the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, we are permitted to potentially borrow $2 for investment purposes of every $1 of investor equity. As of June 30, 2026, our asset coverage ratio was approximately 183.7% and our asset coverage ratio per unit was approximately $1,837. As of December 31, 2025, our asset coverage ratio was approximately 183.8% and our asset coverage ratio per unit was approximately $1,838.
Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has entered into capital commitments with Senior Credit Corp, Direct Lending and CapTrin in the amount of $21.4 million, $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. In connection with the initial closing of Trinity Capital SBIC LP on March 13, 2026, the Company committed $5.0 million as a limited partner. Capital contributions will be made at such times and in such amounts as directed by the general partner in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, unfunded commitments were $3.0 million, $87.4 million, $29.0 million and $4.7 million for Senior Credit Corp, Direct Lending, CapTrin and SBIC, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company also had unfunded commitments of approximately $114.2 million to 15 portfolio companies.
The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet commitments as of June 30, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, unfunded commitments were $3.0 million for Senior Credit Corp and $85.1 million for Direct Lending, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there were no unfunded commitments for CapTrin. As of December 31, 2025, the Company also had unfunded commitments of $82.3 million to ten portfolio companies. The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet commitments as of December 31, 2025.
The Company’s commitments and contingencies consist primarily of unfunded commitments to extend credit in the form of loans to the Company’s portfolio companies. A portion of these unfunded contractual commitments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are dependent upon the portfolio company reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available. Furthermore, the Company’s credit agreements with its portfolio companies generally contain customary lending provisions that allow the Company relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since a portion of these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded contractual commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As such, the Company’s disclosure of unfunded contractual commitments includes only those which are available at the request of the portfolio company and unencumbered by milestones. The Company will fund future unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (which are typically through existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility).
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of representations and warranties, and general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company; however, based on the Company’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Distributions
We intend to pay distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.
The following table summarizes the Company’s distributions declared during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025:

Price Range of Common Stock
Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq on January 29, 2021 under the symbol “TRIN” in connection with our IPO, which closed on February 2, 2021, and was subsequently transferred to being listed and traded on the NYSE on July 27, 2026. See “Recent Developments” for additional information. Prior to our IPO, the shares of our common stock were offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act. As such, there was no public market for shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2020. Since our IPO, our common stock has traded at prices both above and below our net asset value per share.
The following table sets forth the net asset value per share of our common stock, the range of high and low closing sales prices of our common stock reported on Nasdaq (through July 24, 2026) and the NYSE (from July 27, 2026), the closing sales price as a premium (discount) to net asset value and the dividends declared by us in each fiscal quarter since we began trading on Nasdaq. On August 3, 2026, the last reported closing sales price of our common stock on the NYSE was $17.83 per share, which represented a premium of approximately 32.4% to our net asset value per share of $13.47 as of June 30, 2026. As of August 3, 2026, we had approximately 38 stockholders of record, which does not include stockholders for whom shares are held in nominee or “street” name.

(1)
Net asset value per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the net asset value per share on the date of the high and low closing sales prices. The net asset values shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of the relevant quarter.
(2)
Calculated as the respective high or low closing sales price less net asset value, divided by net asset value (in each case, as of the applicable quarter).
(3)
Represents the dividend or distribution(s) declared in the relevant quarter.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. At times, our shares of common stock have traded at prices both above and below our net asset value per share. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from net asset value per share or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether our common stock will trade at, above, or below net asset value per share.
Certain members of management as well as employees of the Company hold shares of the Company’s stock.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements are intended to provide our directors and executive officers with the maximum indemnification permitted under Maryland law and the 1940 Act. Each indemnification agreement provides that we shall indemnify the director or executive officer who is a party to the agreement, or an “Indemnitee,” including the advancement of legal expenses, if, by reason of his or her corporate status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to or a witness in any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act.
Refer to “Note 12 – Related Party Transactions” included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Recent Developments Equity ATM Program
For the period from July 1, 2026 to August 3, 2026, the Company issued and sold 662,575 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $17.75 per share and raised $11.6 million of net proceeds after deducting commissions to the sales agents on shares sold under the Equity ATM Program.
NYSE Listing Transfer
On July 27, 2026, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock from Nasdaq to NYSE and NYSE Texas under the same ticker symbol, “TRIN.”
In connection with such transfer, the Company's March 2029 Notes and September 2029 Notes also transferred to the NYSE and NYSE Texas under the ticker symbols “TRNZ” and “TRNI,” respectively, on July 27, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the overall market conditions has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effect of the volatility could materially impact our market risks, including those listed below.
Valuation Risk
Our investments may not have readily available market quotations (as such term is defined in Rule 2a-5), and those investments which do not have readily available market quotations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.
In accordance with Rule 2a-5, our Board periodically assesses and manages material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of our investments.
Interest rate sensitivity and risk refer to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of borrowing funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates, including as a result of inflation, will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the United States and Europe, with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect our portfolio companies’ profit margins.
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 81.5% of our debt investments based on outstanding principal balance represented floating-rate investments based on U.S. Prime Rate (“Prime”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) and Bank of England Base Rate (“Base Rate”), and approximately 18.5% of our debt investments based on outstanding principal balance represented fixed rate investments. In addition, borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility and KeyBank Secured Term Loan are subject to floating interest rates based on SOFR, subject to the number of eligible debt investments in the collateral pool.
Based on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended June 30, 2026, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes on our debt investments (considering interest rate floors for floating-rate instruments) and the hypothetical base rate changes in the SOFR on our borrowings, assuming that there are no changes in our investment and borrowing structure (in thousands):

Currency Risk
Any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved. As of June 30, 2026, we had twelve foreign domiciled portfolio companies. Our exposure to currency risk related to these investments is minimal as payments from such portfolio companies are primarily received in U.S. dollars. No other investments as of June 30, 2026 were subject to currency risk.
Hedging
We currently, and may in the future, hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. We may also borrow funds in local currency as a way to hedge our non-U.S. denominated investments.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Furthermore, third parties may seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of any future legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such future proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our securities involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Although the risks described in our other SEC filings referenced above represent the principal risks associated with an investment in us, they are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, might materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our SEC filings referenced above.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, pursuant to its amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), the Company issued 26,342 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $17.17 per share (the “Q2 DRIP Issuance”) in connection with the dividends declared by the Board on March 18, 2026.
On July 31, 2026, pursuant to the DRIP, the Company issued 7,628 shares of its common stock at a price of $17.55 per share to stockholders of record as of July 15, 2026 (together with the Q2 DRIP Issuance, the “DRIP Issuances”).
These DRIP Issuances were made in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of the Company's distribution and were not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7. Stockholder's Equity - Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for more information.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
