BlackRock TCP Capital Corp.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On August 4, 2026, TCPC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Special Value Continuation Partners LLC, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) providing for the sale of 95% of the limited liability company interests in the Continuation Vehicle, to a group of investment funds and accounts managed by Pantheon, and retained a 5% interest (the “Transaction”). The Transaction generated approximately $152 million in gross proceeds and, together with investment repayments received post June 30, 2026, is expected to reduce net leverage from 1.38x to approximately 0.4x (with a further reduction to less than 0.3x following an already announced portfolio company paydown).

The Company believes the Transaction meaningfully accelerates its ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and reshape its investment portfolio. As a result of the Transaction, the Company will have materially lower leverage, reduced investment position sizes, and significantly enhanced investment capacity, while realizing a substantial premium relative to the value implied by the Company’s current share price. The Company and its Board believe these outcomes provide substantially greater financial, investment, and operational flexibility, creating a stronger foundation from which to evaluate and pursue additional transactions or other strategic alternatives that can deliver greater long-term value to shareholders.

On August 6, 2026, we announced that the Board has engaged KBW to consider strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. These could include, but are not limited to, using newly available leverage capacity to reinvest in the portfolio and/or return capital to shareholders through share repurchases, pursuing potential strategic combinations in the public or private markets, completing an orderly realization of portfolio assets, or some combination thereof.

On August 6, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2026.
