Key Terms

regulated investment company, internal revenue code of 1986, return of capital, form 1099-div

4 terms

regulated investment company regulatory

"in order to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company under"

A regulated investment company is a type of pooled investment (like a mutual fund or ETF) that meets specific tax-law rules allowing it to pass most income, gains and losses directly to shareholders instead of being taxed at the company level. For investors this matters because it affects how distributions are taxed, how often income is paid, and the overall net return—think of it like a collective account that funnels earnings straight to owners rather than keeping profits inside a separate corporate layer.

internal revenue code of 1986 regulatory

"qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986."

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is the primary federal tax law in the United States that sets rules for how income, deductions, credits, and tax rates are calculated and collected. For investors it matters because those rules determine after-tax returns, influence corporate decisions like dividends, buybacks, and mergers, and affect valuations—like a rulebook that shapes how much money ultimately stays in an investor’s pocket.

return of capital financial

"Dividends are paid from taxable earnings and may include a return of capital and/or"

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

form 1099-div regulatory

"tax characteristics of the dividends will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after"

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.

This is an equivalent monthly distribution as the first six months of 2026. Trinity Capital shareholders have now received a consistent or increased dividend for more than six consecutive years.

Summary of the upcoming dividends for the Third Quarter 2026:

The Company's objective is to distribute regular dividends in an amount that approximates 90% to 100% of its taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year in order to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In addition, during any particular year, the Company may pay additional supplemental dividends, so that the Company distributes approximately all its annual taxable income in the year it was earned, or it may spill over the excess taxable income into the coming year for future dividend payments.

Dividends are paid from taxable earnings and may include a return of capital and/or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of the dividends will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year and in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
