Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"At 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on May 27, 2026, BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. convened its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders via live Internet webcast"
record date financial
"As of March 30, 2026, the record date, TCPC had 84,229,112 shares of common stock outstanding"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
Broker Non-Votes financial
"Name | For | Withheld | Broker Non-Votes"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
Nasdaq Global Select Market financial
"Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share | TCPC | Nasdaq Global Select Market"
A Nasdaq Global Select Market listing is the highest tier of stocks on the Nasdaq exchange, reserved for companies that meet the strictest financial, reporting and governance standards. For investors, it acts like a premium quality label—signaling larger, more transparent and better-governed companies that tend to offer greater liquidity and lower perceived risk compared with lower-tier listings, making it easier to buy, sell and evaluate shares.
