Key Terms

non-accrual status financial
A loan or credit account is placed in non-accrual status when the lender stops recording expected interest income because the borrower is not making scheduled payments or repayment is doubtful. Think of it like a landlord who stops counting unpaid rent as future income once a tenant stops paying; it signals rising credit problems and potential losses. For investors, non-accrual levels indicate loan quality and can foreshadow write-downs, lower earnings, and increased risk to a lender’s balance sheet.
net leverage financial
Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.
first lien financial
A first lien is a legal claim that gives a lender the top priority to be repaid from specific collateral if a borrower defaults or liquidates assets. Think of it as being first in line for the proceeds from a sale—investors who hold a first lien are more likely to recover their money than holders of later claims, so these loans generally carry lower risk and different pricing compared with unsecured or subordinated debt.
asc 805 technical
ASC 805 is the U.S. accounting standard that governs how companies record and report business acquisitions, including how purchased assets, assumed liabilities and goodwill are measured on the buyer’s balance sheet. It matters to investors because the accounting choices under ASC 805 determine the reported value of an acquisition and future profit or loss effects—similar to how different ways of listing items in a household budget change the appearance of your finances and the story they tell.

Transaction Accelerates Portfolio Repositioning, Significantly Reduces Leverage and Enhances Investment Capacity

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “TCPC” or the “Company”), a business development company (NASDAQ: TCPC), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 and a $523 million portfolio sale transaction that meaningfully accelerates its ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and reshape its investment portfolio.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • On a GAAP basis, net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $18.1 million, or $0.22 per share on a diluted basis, which exceeded the regular dividend of $0.17 per share paid on June 30, 2026. Adjusted net investment income(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $17.5 million, or $0.21 per share on a diluted basis.
  • Net increase in net assets from operations on a GAAP basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $1.7 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a $16.3 million, or $0.19 per share, net decrease in net assets from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
  • Net asset value per share was $6.58 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $6.72 as of March 31, 2026.
  • As of June 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status represented 1.6% of the portfolio at fair value and 7.4% at cost, compared to 2.8% of the portfolio at fair value and 7.6% at cost as of March 31, 2026.
  • Net leverage (inclusive of SBA debentures) was 1.38x as of June 30, 2026, compared to 1.48x as of March 31, 2026.
  • On August 6, 2026, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) 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.

PORTFOLIO SALE TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

  • On August 4, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell 95% of the equity interests in a vehicle (the “Continuation Vehicle”) holding approximately $523 million of investments across 78 portfolio companies to funds and accounts sponsored by Pantheon, a global leader in private credit secondaries.
  • The Continuation Vehicle assets have sector, lien and credit characteristics broadly similar to those of the Company’s pre-transaction debt portfolio.
  • The Continuation Vehicle assets represent approximately 48% of the fair market value of the Company’s debt portfolio immediately prior to the transaction and include all collateral underlying our recently issued BlackRock DLF 2026-C CLO, as well as additional contributed investments.
  • We retained a direct investment in substantially all of the portfolio companies and transferred, on average, approximately two-thirds of each investment position to the Continuation Vehicle. We will retain a 5% interest in the vehicle, and our advisor will manage the assets on the vehicle’s behalf without compensation.
  • The base purchase price for the investments sold was 95% of the gross fair value as of December 31, 2025, subject to customary pre-closing adjustments, allowing TCPC to realize a substantial premium relative to the value implied by its current share price. The Board obtained a fairness opinion from Lincoln International regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by the Company in the transaction.
  • The transaction is expected to result in a NAV decline of approximately 10.4%, or $0.68 per share, based on June 30, 2026 NAV.
  • The transaction materially reduces our leverage and unfunded commitments, significantly enhancing our investment capacity. Inclusive of the transaction and already completed post-quarter-end repayment activity, we expect our pro forma net leverage ratio to be approximately 0.4x (with a further reduction to less than 0.3x following an announced portfolio company paydown) and unfunded commitments to be below $40 million.
  • The Company and the Board believe these outcomes provide substantially greater financial, investment and operational flexibility, creating a stronger foundation from which to evaluate and pursue strategic alternatives that can deliver greater long-term shareholder value.
  • The Board has engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel company (“KBW”), to support a strategic review process as it evaluates how best to use TCPC’s enhanced financial flexibility and increased investment capacity to create long-term shareholder value.
  • Moelis & Company LLC acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the portfolio sale transaction.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“The transaction we announced today represents a major milestone that accelerates our progress in repositioning TCPC,” said Phil Tseng, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer of BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. “It meaningfully increases our financial flexibility by significantly lowering leverage and enhancing liquidity, while realizing a substantial premium relative to the value implied by the Company’s current share price. Most importantly, it provides us greater strategic optionality to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

(1) Excluding amortization of purchase discount recorded in connection with the Merger (defined herein), adjusted net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $17.5 million, or $0.21 per share on a diluted basis.

On March 18, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (“BCIC”). The Merger has been accounted for as an asset acquisition of BCIC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50 ("ASC 805"), Business Combinations-Related Issues. The Company determined the fair value of the shares of the Company's common stock that were issued to former BCIC shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement plus transaction costs to be the consideration paid in connection with the Merger under ASC 805. The consideration paid to BCIC shareholders was less than the aggregate fair values of the BCIC assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase discount (the “purchase discount”). The consideration paid was allocated to the individual BCIC assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets and liabilities (for example, cash) and did not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase discount was allocated to the cost basis of the BCIC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, the investments were marked to their respective fair values in accordance with ASC 820 which resulted in immediate recognition of net unrealized appreciation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of the Merger. The purchase discount allocated to the BCIC debt investments acquired will amortize over the remaining life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation or depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase discount allocated to BCIC equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company may recognize a realized gain or loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.

As a supplement to the Company’s reported GAAP financial measures, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful:

  • “Adjusted net investment income” – excludes the amortization of purchase accounting discount from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP;
  • “Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss)” – excludes the unrealized appreciation resulting from the purchase discount and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation from the amortization of the purchase discount from the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP; and
  • “Adjusted net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations” – calculates net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations based on Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss).

We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of purchase discount accounting under ASC 805 from these financial measures is meaningful because of the potential impact on the comparability of these financial measures that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations period over period. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated investment portfolio consisted of debt and equity positions in 134 portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $1.3 billion, of which 91.5% was in senior secured debt. 89.8% of the total portfolio was first lien. Equity positions, which include equity interests in diversified debt portfolios, represented approximately 8.5% of the portfolio. 93.9% of our debt investments were floating rate, 94.8% of which had interest rate floors.

As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average annual effective yield of our debt portfolio was approximately 11.2%(1) and the weighted average annual effective yield of our total portfolio was approximately 10.5%, compared to 10.9% and 10.1%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. Investments in thirteen portfolio companies were on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2026, representing 1.6% of the consolidated portfolio at fair value and 7.4% at cost, down from 2.8% of the portfolio at fair value and 7.6% at cost as of March 31, 2026.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we invested approximately $25.0 million, across new and existing portfolio companies. Of these investments, $24.5 million, or 98.0%, were in first lien senior secured loans. The remaining $0.5 million, or 2.0%, were comprised of equity investments. Additionally, we received approximately $111.6 million in proceeds from sales or repayments of investments during the three months ended June 30, 2026. New investments during the quarter had a weighted average effective yield of 9.4%. Investments we exited had a weighted average effective yield of 10.9%.

As of June 30, 2026, total assets were $1.5 billion, net assets were $552.0 million and net asset value per share was $6.58, as compared to $1.5 billion, $565.1 million, and $6.72 per share, respectively, as of March 31, 2026.

____________________

(1)

Weighted average annual effective yield includes amortization of deferred debt origination and accretion of original issue discount, but excludes market discount and any prepayment and make-whole fee income. The weighted average effective yield on our debt portfolio excludes non-accrual and non-income producing loans.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $40.0 million, or $0.48 per share. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 included $0.01 per share from prepayment premiums and related accelerated original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.03 per share from amendment fees, $0.02 per share from recurring portfolio investment original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.04 per share from interest income paid in kind and $0.03 per share in dividend income. This reflects our policy of recording interest income, adjusted for amortization of portfolio investment premiums and discounts, on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and similar upfront fees received in connection with the outlay of capital are generally amortized into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were approximately $21.9 million, or $0.26 per share, including interest and other debt expenses of $15.0 million, or $0.18 per share, and base management fees of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cumulative total return did not exceed the total return hurdle, and as a result, no incentive compensation was accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Excluding interest and other debt expenses, annualized second quarter expenses were 4.9% of average net assets.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $18.1 million, or $0.22 per share. Net realized loss on investments and foreign currency for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $14.8 million, or $0.18 per share. Net realized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was comprised primarily of $10.0 million in losses from the exit of our investment in AutoAlert, partially offset by a $2.4 million realized gain due to paydown activities at par in Thras.io. Net unrealized gain for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.3 million, or $0.01 per share. Net unrealized gain for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflects an $8.0 million reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses from the exit of our investment in AutoAlert, a $3.3 million reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses related to paydown activities at par on our investment in Thras.io, a $2.9 million unrealized gain on our investment in Job and Talent, partially offset by a $4.3 million unrealized loss on our investment in Pluralsight, a $3.3 million unrealized loss on our investment in PVHC, and a $2.1 million unrealized loss on our investment in Zilliant. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.7 million, or $0.02 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2026, available liquidity was approximately $533.7 million, comprised of approximately $376.2 million in available capacity under our leverage program and $157.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The combined weighted-average interest rate on debt outstanding at June 30, 2026 was 6.03%.

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.
