BlackRock TCP Capital Corp

From time to time, the Company and the Advisor may be parties to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including with respect to our investments in our portfolio companies. On September 13, 2023, the Company was named as a defendant, together with the Advisor and certain other funds managed by the Advisor, as well as certain other defendants, in a lawsuit filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit relates to a third-party sponsored collateralized loan obligation in which the Company and certain other defendants invested. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants knew or should have known of certain fraudulent activities of the third-party manager relating to its management of the collateralized loan obligation that caused the plaintiffs to suffer investment losses. The suit seeks to recover from the Company approximately $15 million, plus interest, additional amounts from the other Defendants, and attorneys’ fees and costs from all Defendants. the Company, the affiliated funds and the Advisor intend to vigorously defend against these claims. At this time, however, the Company and the Advisor cannot predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome, including any potential losses that could result. On November 6, 2023, the Company, the affiliated funds, and the Advisor, and certain other Defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, which was fully briefed on February 12, 2024 and is scheduled to be argued in court on March 6, 2024.
