Demonstrates Financial Impact of TPG BDC’s Stockholder-Unfriendly Catch-up Provision

GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TICC Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) (the "Company," "TICC," "we," or "our") today issued a presentation entitled “The Benefits of TICC’s Fee Structure: Explaining the Catch-Up Provision” to clarify the facts around how the TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (“TSLX” or “TPG BDC”) incentive fee structure and stockholder-unfriendly catch-up provision would harm TICC stockholders.

Key issues detailed include:

  • Why TICC’s fee structure is better for stockholders than TPG BDC’s fee structure;
  • Why in a rising rate environment TICC’s incentive fee structure would provide even more value to TICC stockholders;
  • Why TPG BDC’s catch-up provision would harm TICC stockholders; and
  • How under the BSP investment advisory agreement, TICC will have one of the lowest expense structures in the BDC sector.

The presentation can be found at www.ticcbspagreement.com.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz are advising the Special Committee.
