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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 a capital commitment with the JV and EPT 16 in the amount of $21.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.0 million and $0.8 million for the JV and EPT 16, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $49.7 million tofour portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.0 million and $0.8 million for the JV and EPT 16, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $31.2 million totwo portfolio companies. The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet financings or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

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.

The related over-allotment option was exercised in full on January 29, 2020, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an additional 1,333,333 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. As a result, the Company issued and sold a total of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Private Common Stock Offering for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $114.4 million, net of offering costs of approximately $10.6 million.

Concurrent with the closing of the Private Common Stock Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the purchasers of shares of its common stock in such offering and the certain of the investors in the Legacy Funds (the “Legacy Investors”) that received shares of its common stock in connection with the Formation Transactions that were not the Company’s directors, officers and affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of this registration rights agreement, the Company no longer has any registration obligations with respect to such shares because (i) such shares may be sold by any such stockholder in a single transaction without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for a period of at least 90 days and is current in the filing of all such required reports and (iii) such shares have been listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Formation Transactions

On January 16, 2020, immediately following the initial closings of the Private Offerings, the Company used the proceeds from the Private Offerings to complete the Formation Transactions, pursuant to which the Company acquired the Legacy Funds and Trinity Capital Holdings. As consideration for the Legacy Funds, the Company issued 9,183,185 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share for a total value of approximately $137.7 million and paid approximately $108.7 million in cash to certain of the Legacy Investors. As consideration for all of the equity interests in Trinity Capital Holdings, the Company issued 533,332 shares of its common stock at $15.00 per share for a total value of approximately $8.0 million and paid approximately $2.0 million in cash.

Initial Public Offering

On February 2, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering of 8,006,291 shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2021, under the symbol “TRIN.” Proceeds from this offering were primarily used to pay down a portion of the Company's existing indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Suisse Credit Facility.

Equity ATM Program

On November 9, 2021, the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to which the Company can issue and sell, from time to time, up to $50.0 million in aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock by any method permitted by law and deemed to be part of an “at-the-market” offering (as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act). On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into new equity distribution agreements to (i) increase the maximum aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock to be sold through the ATM Program to $145.7 million and (ii) add one additional sales agent to the ATM Program. On August 23, 2024, the Company entered into new equity distribution agreements to (i) increase the maximum aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock to be sold through the ATM Program to $250.0 million and (ii) add one additional sales agent to the ATM Program.

The Company generally uses net proceeds from the ATM Program to make investments in accordance with its investment objective and investment strategy and for general corporate purposes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold 1,977,463 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $15.61 per share and raised $30.5 million of net proceeds after deducting deferred offering costs and commissions to the sales agents on shares sold under the ATM Program.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued and sold 14,161,064 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $14.35 per share and raised $200.2 million of net proceeds after deducting deferred offering costs and commissions to the sales agents on shares sold under the ATM Program.

For additional information regarding the ATM Program, see “Note 14 – Subsequent Events.”

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 7, 2024, the Board authorized a program permitting the Company to repurchase up to $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2024 Repurchase Program”). Under the 2024 Repurchase Program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that the Company complies with guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, including certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until November 7, 2025, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended.

The Board authorized the 2024 Repurchase Program because it believes sustained macroeconomic pressures and other market factors may cause the Company’s common stock to be undervalued from time to time, especially relative to the Company’s performance and its peers, and that such repurchase demonstrates the Company’s stability and strength, including the resilience and creditworthiness of its portfolio. The timing and number of shares to be repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and alternative investment opportunities. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act.

The Company didnot repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock during thethree months ended March 31, 2025 or during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Equity Offerings

On April 7, 2022, the Company issued 2,754,840 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $18.15 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $47.9 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In addition, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 413,226 shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $7.2 million, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

On August 18, 2022, the Company issued 3,587,736 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $15.33 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $53.3 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In addition, the underwriters exercised their option in part to purchase an additional 132,168 shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $2.0 million, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

On August 8, 2023, the Company issued 5,190,312 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a public offering price of $14.45 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $72.5 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In addition, the underwriters exercised their option in part to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $6.9 million, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

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 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 March 31, 2025, the Company issued 20,349 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $0.3 million under the DRIP.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 90,245 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $1.3 million under the DRIP.

The following table summarizes distributions declared and/or paid by the Company since inception:

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 thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands).

As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $28.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested restricted stock awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $26.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards. These costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. Shares vested and forfeited primarily relate to shares acquired of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

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 each 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 March 31, 2025, there were no Option Awards exercised as time-based and market-based vesting conditions have not been met.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was less than $0.1 million of total compensation costs related to the Option Awards. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.0 years. The fair value of the Option Awards as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $1.7 million.

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 120,000 shares. The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee, subject to the discretion of the Board. The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date it was approved by the Company’s stockholders, unless terminated sooner by action of the Board.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands except shares and per share information):

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 the three months ended March 31, 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the adjustments for diluted EPS included additional effects for the Convertible Notes.

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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

The following table sets forth the tax cost basis and the estimated aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation from investments for federal income tax purposes as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
