PHOENIX, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinity Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIN) ("Trinity" or the "Company"), a leading provider of diversified financial solutions to growth-oriented companies, today announced that its board of directors has authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $30 million worth of the Company's common stock.

Under the repurchase program, Trinity may, but is not obligated to, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that Trinity complies with applicable policies and laws, including certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Unless amended or extended by Trinity's board of directors, the Company expects the repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of November 7, 2025, or until $30 million of Trinity's outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

The Company's board of directors authorized the 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 Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company has not yet been active in the repurchase program and there are no assurances that it will engage in repurchases, but if market conditions warrant, Trinity now has the ability to take advantage of situations where the Company's management believes share repurchases would be advantageous to the Company and to its shareholders.
