PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into $89.7 million of new debt commitments with 12 portfolio companies, funded debt investments totaling $92.8 million to 16 portfolio companies, acquired warrants in 12 portfolio companies with a cost basis of $1.6 million, and made direct equity investments of $0.3 million. Debt investments funded during the quarter carried a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 12.0% at origination. During the quarter, the Company received $44.4 million of principal prepayments, $12.4 million of early repayments and $51.5 million of scheduled principal amortization. The weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the fourth quarter was 12.7%. The Company calculates weighted average portfolio yield as the annualized rate of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The return on average equity for the fourth quarter was 11.0% based on net investment income. The Company calculates return on average equity as the annualized rate of net investment income recognized during the period divided by the Company’s average net asset value during the period.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held debt investments in 55 portfolio companies, warrants in 118 portfolio companies and equity investments in 55 portfolio companies. The total cost and fair value of these investments were $820.4 million and $783.5 million, respectively.

SIGNED TERM SHEETS

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, TPC entered into $207.3 million of non-binding term sheets to venture growth stage companies. These opportunities are subject to underwriting conditions including, but not limited to, the completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with the allocation policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or assigned to the Company.

UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $260.4 million, of which $50.7 million was dependent upon portfolio companies reaching certain milestones. Of the $260.4 million of unfunded commitments, $150.9 million will expire during 2026, $83.1 million will expire during 2027, and $26.5 million will expire during 2028, if not drawn prior to expiration. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment and other income was $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 12.7% on debt investments, as compared to $25.8 million and 15.8% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in total investment and other income was primarily due to lower yields on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio due in part to decreases in the Prime Rate. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s total investment and other income was $90.9 million, as compared to $108.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments of 13.7% and 15.7%, respectively.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, total operating expenses, inclusive of an income incentive fee waiver of $2.0 million, were $12.6 million as compared to $13.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 consisted of $6.6 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $3.6 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of Administration Agreement expenses and $1.8 million of general and administrative expenses, which includes a $0.4 million accrual for excise taxes. The Adviser has agreed to waive, in full, any and all of the investment income component of the quarterly incentive fee through the end of fiscal year 2026, and as such, $2.0 million of income incentive fees were waived during the three months ended December 31, 2025. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 consisted of $7.6 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $3.4 million of base management fees, $0.5 million of Administration Agreement expenses and $1.6 million of general and administrative expenses, which includes a $0.4 million accrual for excise taxes. Due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, our income incentive fees were reduced by $2.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s total operating expenses, inclusive of an income incentive fee waiver of $5.3 million, were $48.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s total operating expenses were $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, during which period there was no income incentive fee or related waiver.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded net investment income of $9.9 million, or $0.25 per share, as compared to $12.6 million, or $0.32 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in net investment income between periods was driven primarily by lower total investment and other income. Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $42.3 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to $54.5 million, or $1.40 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized net realized gains on investments of $4.8 million, resulting primarily from the restructuring of an investment in one portfolio company. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net realized losses on investments of $0.3 million.

Net change in unrealized losses on investments for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $6.6 million, consisting of $11.6 million of net unrealized losses on the existing warrant and equity portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments, offset by $3.3 million of net unrealized gains on the existing debt investment portfolio from fair value adjustments and $1.7 million of net unrealized gains from the reversal of previously recorded unrealized losses from investments realized during the period. Net change in unrealized losses on investments for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $19.5 million.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $8.1 million, or $0.20 per share, as compared to a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $7.2 million, or $0.18 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $49.2 million, or $1.22 per share, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $32.0 million, or $0.82 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

CREDIT QUALITY

The Adviser maintains a credit watch list with portfolio companies placed into one of five credit risk categories, with Clear, or 1, being the best rating and Red, or 5, being the lowest. Generally, all new loans receive an initial grade of White, or 2, unless the portfolio company’s credit quality meets the characteristics of another credit category.

As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average investment ranking of the Company’s debt investment portfolio was 2.16, as compared to 2.18 at the end of the prior quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, portfolio company credit category changes, excluding fundings and repayments, consisted of the following: one debt investment rated Orange (4) with a principal balance of $10.3 million was restructured into a White (2) rated debt investment with a principal balance of $0.1 million and a hybrid instrument categorized now as an equity investment with a fair value of $15.2 million.

_____________

(1) Weighted average portfolio yields on debt investments for periods shown are the annualized rates of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The calculation of weighted average portfolio yields on debt investments excludes any non-income producing debt investments, but includes debt investments on non-accrual status. The weighted average yields reported for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities.

(2) The weighted average portfolio yields on debt investments reflected above do not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders.
