*    Fair value as a percentage of net assets
(1)
All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The fair values of all investments were determined using significant unobservable inputs.
(2)
Disclosures of interest rates on notes include cash interest rates and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rates.
(3)
All investments are restricted as to resale and were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(4)
Investment is not a qualifying investment as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Non-qualifying assets represent 1.7% of total investments at fair value as of June 30, 2018. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. If at any time qualifying assets do not represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets, the Company will be precluded from acquiring any additional non-qualifying asset until such time as it complies with the requirements of Section 55(a).
(5)
Non-accrual investment
(6)
All of the Company's investments, unless otherwise noted, are encumbered either as security for the Company's senior secured credit facility or in support of the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP and Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP.
(7)
Index-based floating interest rate is subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically reset semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.

TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Business
Triangle Capital Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP (“Triangle SBIC”), Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP (“Triangle SBIC II”) and Triangle Mezzanine Fund III LP (“Triangle SBIC III”) (collectively, the “Company”), are specialty finance companies. Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III are specialty finance limited partnerships formed to make investments primarily in lower middle market companies located throughout the United States. On September 11, 2003, Triangle SBIC was licensed to operate as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) under the authority of the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On May 26, 2010, Triangle SBIC II obtained its license to operate as an SBIC and on January 6, 2017, Triangle SBIC III obtained its license to operate as an SBIC. As SBICs, Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III are subject to a variety of regulations concerning, among other things, the size and nature of the companies in which they may invest and the structure of those investments.
The Company currently operates as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company and has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company is internally managed by its executive officers under the supervision of its Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Company does not pay management or advisory fees, but instead incurs the operating costs associated with employing executive management and investment and portfolio management professionals. Triangle SBIC has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“BSP”), BSP Asset Acquisition I, LLC (the “Asset Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its December 31, 2017 investment portfolio to the Asset Buyer for gross proceeds of $981.2 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017 (such transaction referred to herein as the “Asset Sale Transaction”). Simultaneously therewith, the Company entered into a stock purchase and transaction agreement (the “Externalization Agreement”) with Barings LLC (“Barings”), through which Barings will become the investment adviser to the Company in exchange for a payment by Barings of $85.0 million, or approximately $1.78 per share, directly to the Company’s stockholders and other consideration as described in Note 10 - Subsequent Events (such transaction referred to herein as the “Externalization Transaction”). The Asset Sale Transaction and the Externalization Transaction are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
The Asset Sale Transaction closed on July 31, 2018 following receipt of stockholder approval at the Company’s July 24, 2018 special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). As a result of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company has sold substantially all of its investment portfolio to the Asset Buyer and to affiliates of the Asset Buyer. The Externalization Transaction is expected to close on or around August 2, 2018, following which the Company will commence operations as an externally managed BDC managed by Barings. Refer to Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more details about the effect of the Transactions on the Company’s financial condition and operations.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Triangle Capital Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The effects of all intercompany transactions between Triangle Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company's investment portfolio is carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, as discussed further in Note 2, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have

20



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

been reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Additionally, the unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Financial instruments that fall within the scope of ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities, are excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 and determined that its financial instruments are excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in no material changes to the recognition, timing and classification of revenues and expenses and no significant impact on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
2. INVESTMENTS
Portfolio Composition
The Company has historically invested primarily in senior and subordinated debt securities of privately held companies, generally secured by security interests in portfolio company assets. In addition, the Company historically invested in one or more equity instruments of the borrower, such as direct preferred or common equity interests. The Company's investments generally ranged from $5.0 million to $50.0 million per portfolio company. In certain situations, we partnered with other funds to provide larger financing commitments.
The cost basis of the Company's debt investments includes any unamortized original issue discount, unamortized loan origination fees and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, if any. Summaries of the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio at cost and fair value, and as a percentage of total investments, are shown in the following tables:

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made investments in four existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $0.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made investments in ten existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $29.1 million.

TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made six new investments totaling approximately $70.7 million and investments in sixteen existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $18.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made fifteen new investments totaling approximately $217.9 million and investments in nineteen existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $33.1 million.
Investment Valuation Process
The Company has a valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a recurring basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). The Company's valuation policy and processes were established by management of the Company with the assistance of certain third-party advisors and were approved by the Board. Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. Therefore, the Company determines the fair value of its investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs may exist, and if so, the Company assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with the underlying performance of the portfolio company.
Under ASC Topic 820, a financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
The Company’s valuation process is led by the Company’s executive officers. The Company’s valuation process begins with a quarterly review of each investment in the Company’s investment portfolio by the Company’s executive officers and investment committee. Valuations of each portfolio security are then prepared by the Company’s investment professionals, who have direct responsibility for the origination, management and monitoring of each investment. Under the Company’s valuation policy, each investment valuation is subject to (i) a review by the lead investment officer responsible for the portfolio company investment and (ii) a peer review by a second investment officer or executive officer of the Company. Generally, any investment that is valued below cost is subjected to review by one of the Company’s executive officers. After the peer review is complete, the Company engages two independent valuation firms, including Duff & Phelps, LLC (collectively, the “Valuation Firms”), to provide third-party reviews of certain investments, as described further below. Finally, the Board has the responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Valuation Firms provide third-party valuation consulting services to the Company which consist of certain procedures that the Company identified and requested the Valuation Firms to perform (hereinafter referred to as the “Procedures”). The Procedures are performed with respect to each portfolio company at least once in every calendar year and for new portfolio companies, at least once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In addition, the Procedures are generally performed with respect to a portfolio company when there has been a significant change in the fair value of the investment. In certain instances, the Company may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in the Company’s stockholders’ best interest, to request the Valuation Firms to perform the Procedures on one or more portfolio

22

companies. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.

Exclusive of the fair value of new investments made during the quarter.
Upon completion of the Procedures, the Valuation Firms concluded that, with respect to each investment reviewed by each Valuation Firm, the fair value of those investments subjected to the Procedures appeared reasonable. The Board is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in good faith.
Investment Valuation Inputs
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market. The securities in which the Company invests are generally only purchased and sold in merger and acquisition transactions, in which case the entire portfolio company is sold to a third-party purchaser. As a result, unless the Company has the ability to control such a transaction, the assumed principal market for the Company’s securities is a hypothetical secondary market. The Level 3 inputs to the Company’s valuation process reflect the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a transaction in a hypothetical secondary market.
Enterprise Value Waterfall Approach
In valuing equity securities (including warrants), the Company estimates fair value using an “Enterprise Value Waterfall” valuation model. The Company estimates the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then allocates the enterprise value to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative liquidation preference. In addition, the model assumes that any outstanding debt or other securities that are senior to the Company’s equity securities are required to be repaid at par. Additionally, the Company estimates the fair value of a limited number of its debt securities using the Enterprise Value Waterfall approach in cases where the Company does not expect to receive full repayment.
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Company primarily uses a valuation model based on a transaction multiple, which generally is the original transaction multiple, and measures of the portfolio company’s financial performance. In addition, the Company considers other factors, including but not limited to (i) offers from third parties to purchase the portfolio company, (ii) the implied value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company, (iii) publicly available information regarding recent sales of private companies in comparable transactions and (iv) when the Company believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, the Company performs a review of these publicly traded companies and the market multiple of their equity securities. For certain non-performing assets, the Company may utilize the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets in its estimation of enterprise value.
The significant Level 3 inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model are (i) an appropriate transaction multiple and (ii) a measure of the portfolio company’s financial performance, which generally is either earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (“Adjusted EBITDA”) or revenues. Such inputs can be based on historical operating results,

23



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

projections of future operating results or a combination thereof. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for certain non-recurring items. In determining the operating results input, the Company utilizes the most recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts available as of the valuation date. The Company also consults with the portfolio company’s senior management to obtain updates on the portfolio company’s performance, including information such as industry trends, new product development, loss of customers and other operational issues.
Fair value measurements using the Enterprise Value Waterfall model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in either the transaction multiple, Adjusted EBITDA or revenues for a particular equity security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
Income Approach
In valuing debt securities, the Company utilizes an “Income Approach” model that considers factors including, but not limited to, (i) the stated yield on the debt security, (ii) the portfolio company’s current Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the portfolio company’s historical or projected Adjusted EBITDA as of the date the investment was made and the portfolio company’s anticipated Adjusted EBITDA for the next twelve months of operations, (iii) the portfolio company’s current Leverage Ratio (defined as the portfolio company’s total indebtedness divided by Adjusted EBITDA) as compared to its Leverage Ratio as of the date the investment was made, (iv) publicly available information regarding current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of private companies and (v) when the Company believes a relevant comparison exists, current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of publicly traded debt. In addition, the Company uses a risk rating system to estimate the probability of default on the debt securities and the probability of loss if there is a default. This risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities held.
The Company considers the factors above, particularly any significant changes in the portfolio company’s results of operations and leverage, and develops an expectation of the yield that a hypothetical market participant would require when purchasing the debt investment (the “Required Rate of Return”). The Required Rate of Return, along with the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA, are the significant Level 3 inputs to the Income Approach model. For investments where the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA have not fluctuated significantly from the date the investment was made or have not fluctuated significantly from the Company’s expectations as of the date the investment was made, and where there have been no significant fluctuations in the market pricing for such investments, the Company may conclude that the Required Rate of Return is equal to the stated rate on the investment and therefore, the debt security is appropriately priced. In instances where the Company determines that the Required Rate of Return is different from the stated rate on the investment, the Company discounts the contractual cash flows on the debt instrument using the Required Rate of Return in order to estimate the fair value of the debt security.
Fair value measurements using the Income Approach model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Required Rate of Return or Leverage Ratio inputs for a particular debt security would result in a lower (higher) fair value for that security. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Adjusted EBITDA input for a particular debt security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
The fair value of the Company’s royalty rights are calculated based on specific provisions contained in the pertinent operating or royalty agreements. The determination of the fair value of such royalty rights is not a significant component of the Company’s valuation process.

All realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings (changes in net assets) and are reported on separate line items within the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pre-tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $2.0 million and $(1.7) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of June 30, 2018. Pre-tax net unrealized depreciation on investments of $22.9 million and $35.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of June 30, 2017.
The Company’s primary investment objective has historically been to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing directly in privately-held lower middle market companies to help these companies fund acquisitions, growth or refinancing. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made investments of approximately $18.3 million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made investments of $10.8 million in companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made investments of approximately $241.9 million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made investments of $9.1 million in companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing.
Warrants
When originating a debt security, the Company may sometimes receive warrants or other equity-related securities from the borrower. The Company determines the cost basis of the warrants or other equity-related securities received based upon their respective fair values on the date of receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and warrants or other equity-related securities received. Any resulting difference between the face amount of the debt and its recorded fair value resulting from the assignment of value to the warrant or other equity instruments is treated as original issue discount and accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.
Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments
Realized gains or losses are recorded upon the sale or liquidation of investments and are calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or liquidation, if any, and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the difference between the fair value of the investments and the cost basis of the investments.

Investment Classification
In accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company classifies investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that the Company is deemed to “Control.” “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are “Affiliated Companies” of the Company, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control / Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to control a company in which it has invested if the Company owns more than 25.0% of the voting securities of such company, has greater than 50.0% representation on its board or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company is deemed to be an affiliate of a company in which the Company has invested if it owns at least 5.0%, but no more than 25.0%, of the voting securities of such company.
Investment Income
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when it is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Fee Income
Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connection with loan agreements ("Loan Origination Fees") are recorded as deferred income and recognized as investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of its business, the Company receives certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and loan waiver and amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned.
Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

Payment-in-Kind Interest
As of June 30, 2018, the Company held, and expects to hold in the future, loans in its portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.

28



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders to maintain its tax treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s investments have historically been, generally, in lower middle market companies in a variety of industries. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no individual investments representing greater than 10% of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s largest single portfolio company investment represented approximately 8.5% and 5.6%, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio. Income, consisting of interest, dividends, fees, other investment income and realization of gains or losses on equity interests, can fluctuate dramatically upon repayment of an investment or sale of an equity interest and in any given year can be highly concentrated among several portfolio companies.
Investments made by the Company carry a number of risks including, but not limited to: (i) investing in lower middle market companies which may have limited financial resources and may have limited operating histories, (ii) investing in senior subordinated debt which ranks equal to or lower than debt held by other investors and (iii) holding investments that are not publicly traded and are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale and other risks common to investing in below investment grade debt and equity instruments.
As of June 30, 2018, $690.0 million of the Company's assets were pledged as collateral for the Company's third amended and restated senior secured credit facility, as amended on May 1, 2017 (the “Credit Facility”), and $403.3 million were subject to superior claim over the Company's stockholders by the SBA. In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company repaid the SBA-guaranteed debentures and all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and terminated the Credit Facility. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information regarding these repayments.

Investments Denominated in Foreign Currency
As of June 30, 2018, the Company held an investment in one portfolio company that was denominated in Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2017, the Company held investments in two portfolio companies that were denominated in Canadian dollars.
At each balance sheet date, portfolio company investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period. Purchases and sales of foreign portfolio company investments, and any income from such investments, are translated into United States dollars using the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the fair values of foreign portfolio company investments and the fluctuation in such fair values are translated into United States dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the change in fair values resulting from foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations from the change in fair values of the underlying investment. All fluctuations in fair value are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the United States Dollar.

(1)
All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The fair values of all investments were determined using significant unobservable inputs.
(2)
Represents the total amount of interest, fees or dividends credited to income for the portion of the year an investment was included in Control or Affiliate categories, respectively. Amounts include accrued PIK interest if the description of the security includes disclosure of a PIK interest rate.
(3)
Gross additions include increase in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, follow-on investments and accrued PIK interest. Gross additions also include net increases in unrealized appreciation or net decreases in unrealized depreciation.
(4)
Gross reductions include decreases in the total cost basis of investments resulting from principal or PIK repayments or sales. Gross reductions also include net increases in unrealized depreciation or net decreases in unrealized appreciation.
(5)
Non-accrual investment
(6)
Index-based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.

4. INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. The Company has historically met its minimum distribution requirements and continually monitors its distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had certain wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), each of which held one or more of its portfolio investments that are listed on the Unaudited Consolidated Schedules of Investments. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, such that the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s investments in the portfolio companies owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold certain portfolio companies that are organized as limited liability companies (“LLCs”) (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of the RIC’s gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries, a proportionate amount of any gross income of an LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to the RIC. To the extent that such income did not consist of investment income, it could jeopardize the Company’s ability to qualify as a RIC and therefore cause the Company to incur significant amounts of federal income taxes. When LLCs (or other pass-through entities) are owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries, their income is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiaries and does not flow through to the RIC, thereby helping the Company preserve its RIC status and resultant tax advantages. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. This income tax expense is reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, any unrealized appreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries (net of unrealized depreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries) is reflected net of applicable federal and state income taxes in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related deferred tax liabilities presented in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In December 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the bill commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which significantly changed the existing U.S. tax laws, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, a move from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, as well as other changes. The Taxable Subsidiaries' provisional tax is based on the new lower blended federal and state corporate tax rate of 26%.  This estimate incorporates assumptions made based on the Company's current interpretation of the Tax Act and may change, possibly materially, as the Company completes the analysis and receives additional clarification and implementation guidance. In addition, changes in interpretations, assumptions, and guidance regarding the new tax legislation, as well as the potential for technical corrections to the Tax Act, could have a material impact to the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods. Finally, given the significant complexity of the Tax Act, current guidance from the U.S. Treasury about implementing the Tax Act and

any related guidance from the SEC or the FASB may change, which may require us to refine the Company's estimates in the future.
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $904.8 million and $1,123.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $48.1 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $107.1 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $155.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $107.8 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $89.2 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $197.0 million.

SBA-Guaranteed Debentures
Under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and current SBA policy applicable to SBICs, an SBIC (or group of SBICs under common control) can have outstanding at any time, SBA-guaranteed debentures up to two times (and in certain cases, with SBA approval, up to three times) the amount of its regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2018, the maximum statutory limit on the dollar amount of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that can be issued by a single SBIC was $150.0 million and by a group of SBICs under common control was $350.0 million. As of June 30, 2018, Triangle SBIC had issued the maximum $150.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures and Triangle SBIC II had issued $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving borrowing capacity of a maximum of $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures for Triangle SBIC III. Interest payments on SBA-guaranteed debentures are payable semi-annually and there are no principal payments required on these debentures prior to maturity, nor do the debentures carry any prepayment penalties. The weighted average interest rate for all SBA-guaranteed debentures as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 3.90%. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all SBA-guaranteed debentures were pooled.

39



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

In addition to a one-time 1.0% fee on the total commitment from the SBA, the Company also pays a one-time 2.425% fee on the amount of each SBA-guaranteed debenture issued. These fees are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the term of the debt agreements using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of an SBA-guaranteed debenture, any unamortized deferred financing costs related to the SBA-guaranteed debenture are written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair values of the SBA-guaranteed debentures are based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of the SBA-guaranteed debentures were approximately $246.8 million and $246.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the SBA-guaranteed debentures were $260.9 million and $262.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with SBA regulatory requirements.
See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for information on the repayment of the SBA-guaranteed debentures and the surrender of the SBIC licenses held by each of Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III in connection with the Transactions.
Credit Facility
In May 2015, the Company entered into the Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended in May 2017. The amendment, among other things, increased commitments from $300.0 million to $435.0 million and extended the maturity by two years. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends April 30, 2021 followed by a one-year amortization period with a final maturity date of April 30, 2022. The Company has the ability to borrow in both United States dollars as well as foreign currencies under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, which is structured to operate like a revolving credit facility, is secured primarily by the Company's assets, excluding the assets of the Company’s wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows for an increase in the total borrowing size up to $550.0 million, subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. Using this accordion feature, in July 2017, the Company increased its commitments under the Credit Facility from $435.0 million to $465.0 million, and in September 2017, the Company again increased its commitments under the Credit Facility from $465.0 million to $480.0 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, subject to the Company's election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable base rate plus 1.75% (or 1.50% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating), (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.75% (or 2.50% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating) or (iii) for borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, the applicable Canadian Dealer Offered Rate plus 2.75% (or 2.50% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating). The applicable base rate is equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (iii) the adjusted one-month LIBOR plus 2.0%. The applicable LIBOR rate depends on the term of the draw under the Credit Facility. The Company pays a commitment fee of 1.00% per annum on undrawn amounts if the used portion of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 25.0% of total commitments, or 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts if the used portion of the Credit Facility is greater than 25.0% of total commitments. These commitment fees are included in interest and other financing fees on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to a borrowing base, which includes certain cash and a portion of eligible debt investments.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had United States dollar borrowings of $10.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility with an interest rate of 4.74%. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had United States dollar borrowings of $139.3 million outstanding under the Credit Facility with an interest rate of 4.12% and non-United States dollar borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars of $21.0 million ($16.8 million United States dollars) outstanding under the Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 4.16%. The borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars are translated into United States dollars based on the spot rate at each balance sheet date. The impact resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on the Credit Facility borrowings is included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency borrowings in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars may be positively or negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar. This movement is beyond the control of the Company and cannot be predicted.
The fair value of the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility are based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were $10.0 million and $156.1 million, respectively.
The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to (i) maintaining a minimum interest coverage ratio, (ii) maintaining a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, (iii) maintaining a minimum

40



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

asset coverage ratio and (iv) maintaining the Company's status as a RIC and as a BDC. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice provisions, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, and material adverse effect. The Credit Facility also permits Branch Banking and Trust Company, the administrative agent, to select an independent third-party valuation firm to determine valuations of certain portfolio investments for purposes of borrowing base provisions. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and terminated the Credit Facility. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information.
Notes
In October 2012, the Company issued $70.0 million of unsecured notes due 2022 (the "December 2022 Notes") and in November 2012, issued $10.5 million of December 2022 Notes pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option. The December 2022 Notes mature on December 15, 2022, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company's option. The December 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2012. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the December 2022 Notes was $79.1 million and $79.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the December 2022 Notes were $81.0 million and $80.9 million, respectively.
In February 2015, the Company issued $86.3 million of unsecured notes due 2022 (the "March 2022 Notes"). The March 2022 Notes mature on March 15, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company's option. The March 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2015. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the March 2022 Notes, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $83.4 million. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of the March 2022 Notes were $84.6 million and $84.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the March 2022 Notes were $86.7 million and $86.9 million, respectively. The fair values of the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes are based on the closing prices of each respective security on the New York Stock Exchange, which are Level 1 inputs under ASC 820.
The indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes contain certain covenants, including but not limited to (i) a requirement that the Company comply with the asset coverage requirement of the 1940 Act or any successor provisions, after giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (ii) a requirement that the Company will not declare any cash dividend, or declare any other cash distribution, upon a class of its capital stock, or purchase any such capital stock, unless, in every such case, at the time of the declaration of any such dividend or distribution, or at the time of any such purchase, the Company has an asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC and (iii) a requirement to provide financial information to the holders of the notes and the trustee under the indenture if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company caused notices to be issued to the holders of its December 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes regarding the redemption of all $80.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the December 2022 Notes and all $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2022 Notes, in each case, on August 30, 2018. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information.
6. EQUITY-BASED AND OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS
In February 2017, both the compensation committee of the Board and the Board adopted the Triangle Capital Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), and in May 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the Omnibus Plan at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Prior to the approval of the Omnibus Plan, the Company compensated its professionals through two separate plans: the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), which provided for grants of restricted stock and options to employees, officers and directors, and the 2012 Executive Cash Incentive Plan (the "Cash Incentive Plan"), which provided for the payment of cash bonuses to employees and officers. The Omnibus Plan was created primarily for the purpose of combining the Equity Incentive Plan and the Cash Incentive Plan in

41



TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

order to reduce the administrative burden of monitoring the terms and conditions of two separate plans. The terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and the Cash Incentive Plan, as combined and reflected in the Omnibus Plan, are substantially similar to the respective terms of each standalone plan.
The Omnibus Plan provides for grants of restricted stock, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and cash-based and/or stock-based performance awards, collectively, “Awards,” to the Company’s existing and future employees. Equity-based awards granted under the Omnibus Plan to independent directors generally will vest over a one-year period and equity-based awards granted under the Omnibus Plan to executive officers and employees generally will vest ratably over a four-year period. In addition, the Omnibus Plan increased the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Omnibus Plan to 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that were approved under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Plan expires May 3, 2027.
The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, the Company measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and amortizes this fair value to compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period or vesting term.
The following table presents information with respect to equity-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

In the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million, and in the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized equity based compensation expense of approximately $2.9 million. In the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million, and in the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $3.0 million. As of June 30, 2018, there was approximately $11.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s non-vested restricted shares.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, all 904,060 outstanding shares of restricted stock outstanding under the Omnibus Plan vested. As a result, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $11.3 million of equity based compensation expense in July 2018. The fair market value of the vested shares on July 31, 2018 (the vesting date) was approximately $10.8 million. The Company plans to terminate the Omnibus Plan in connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information regarding the Transactions.
The Board has adopted a nonqualified deferred compensation plan covering the Company’s executive officers and key employees. Any compensation deferred and the Company’s contributions will earn a return based on the returns on certain investments designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Participants are 100% vested in amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan and the earnings thereon. Contributions to the plan and earnings thereon generally vest ratably over a four-year period. Upon the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, approximately $0.7 million of previously unvested deferred compensation benefits became fully vested. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information regarding the treatment of the deferred compensation plan in connection with the Transactions.
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan in which all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate and receive employer contributions. Eligible employees may contribute a portion of their compensation on a pretax basis into the 401(k) plan up to the maximum amount allowed under the Code, and direct the investment of their contributions. The Company plans to terminate its 401(k) plan in connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for more information regarding the Transactions.

TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

The Company and certain current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits, each filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common stock between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The first lawsuit was filed on November 21, 2017, and was captioned Elias Dagher, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00015-FL (the “Dagher Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on November 28, 2017, and was captioned Gary W. Holden, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL (the “Holden Action”). The Dagher Action and the Holden Action were consolidated and are currently captioned In re Triangle Capital Corp. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL.  
On April 10, 2018, the plaintiff filed its First Consolidated Amended Complaint. The complaint, as currently amended, alleges certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but did not specify the amount of damages being sought. On May 25, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 9, 2018, the plaintiff filed its response in opposition to the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of July 31, 2018.
The Company and the members the of Board of Directors have been named as defendants in three other putative securities class action lawsuits challenging the June 1, 2018 proxy statement seeking shareholder approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Externalization Agreement. The first lawsuit was filed on July 6, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and is captioned Carlson, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00332-FL (the “Carlson Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on July 9, 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and is captioned Hammer, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-02086-RDB (the “Hammer Action”). The third lawsuit was filed on July 12, 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and is captioned Kent, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-0237-ELH (the “Kent Action”). The complaints in the Carlson Action, the Hammer Action, and the Kent Action each allege certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain material omissions in the proxy statement, and each sought to enjoin the shareholder meeting scheduled for July 24, 2018, among other relief.
On July 11, 2018, the plaintiff in the Carlson Action filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the July 24, 2018 shareholder vote and to require that certain supplemental disclosures be made. On July 16, 2018, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. The time for the defendants to respond to the complaints in the Carlson Action, Hammer Action, and Kent Action has not yet expired.
In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies.
While the outcome of any open legal proceedings, including those described above, cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any reasonably possible losses arising from these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, in management's opinion, it is not possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to litigation contingencies.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Asset Sale Transaction
As previously disclosed on April 3, 2018, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Asset Buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its December 31, 2017 investment portfolio to the Asset Buyer for gross proceeds of $981.2 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017. Simultaneously therewith, the Company entered into the Externalization Agreement with Barings, through which Barings will become the investment adviser to the Company in exchange for a payment by Barings of $85.0 million, or approximately $1.78 per share, directly to the Company’s stockholders and other consideration as discussed further below.
The Asset Sale Transaction closed on July 31, 2018 following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting held on July 24, 2018. The gross cash proceeds received from the Asset Buyer and certain affiliates of the Asset Buyer in connection with the Asset Sale Transaction were approximately $793.3 million, after adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017, as described in greater detail in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Adjustments to the purchase price included, among other things, approximately $208.8 million of principal payments and prepayments, sales proceeds and distributions related to the investment portfolio that were received and retained by the Company between December 31, 2017 and the closing of the Asset Sale, offset by approximately $29.5 million of loans and equity investments originated between December 31, 2017 and the closing of the Asset Sale.
Upon the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, approximately $0.7 million of previously unvested deferred compensation benefits became fully vested. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, all 904,060 outstanding shares of restricted stock outstanding under the Omnibus Plan vested. As a result, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $11.3 million of equity based compensation expense in July 2018 and the Company currently has no shares of restricted stock or other equity awards outstanding. The fair market value of the vested shares on July 31, 2018 (the vesting date) was approximately $10.8 million. The Board intends to terminate the Omnibus Plan in connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction, described below.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company also caused notices to be issued to the holders of its December 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes regarding the redemption of all $80.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the December 2022 Notes and all $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2022 Notes, in each case, on August 30, 2018. The December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes will each be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount ($25.00 per Note), plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon from June 15, 2018 to, but excluding, August 30, 2018. In furtherance of the redemption, on July 31, 2018, the Company also irrevocably deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes, funds in trust for the purposes of redeeming all of the issued and outstanding December 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes and paying all sums due and payable under the indenture and supplements thereto. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes were satisfied and discharged as of July 31, 2018, except with respect to those obligations that the indenture expressly provides shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.
Subsequent to June 30, 2018, but prior to the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company terminated the Credit Facility. The Company also repaid the SBA-guaranteed debentures and delivered necessary materials to the SBA to surrender the SBIC licenses held by Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II, and Triangle SBIC III.
Stockholder Approval of Reduced Asset Coverage Ratio
As of June 30, 2018, the Company was only allowed to borrow amounts such that its “asset coverage,” as defined in the 1940 Act, was at least 200% after such borrowing. “Asset coverage” generally refers to a company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, divided by total senior securities representing indebtedness and, if applicable, preferred stock. “Senior securities” for this purpose includes borrowings from banks or other lenders, debt securities and preferred stock.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had total senior securities of $176.8 million and $322.8 million, respectively, consisting of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes, and had asset coverage ratios of 473% and 299%, respectively. As a result of the Asset Sale Transaction, as of July

TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

31, 2018, the Company had no senior securities outstanding. For a discussion of the principal risk factors associated with these senior securities, see “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
On March 23, 2018, an amendment to Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act was signed into law to permit BDCs to reduce the minimum “asset coverage” ratio from 200% to 150%, so long as certain approval and disclosure requirements are satisfied. On July 24, 2018, the Company’s stockholders voted at the Special Meeting to approve a proposal to authorize the Company to be subject to the reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, effective July 25, 2018, the asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act applicable to the Company has been decreased to 150% from 200%. In other words, under the 1940 Act, the Company is now able to borrow $2 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity, as opposed to borrowing $1 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018, including a brief discussion of our business, key factors that impacted our performance and a summary of our operating results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements as to our future operating results, our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, the impact of the investments that we expect to make, the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, our expected financings and investments, the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital, and the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “goals,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “potential,” variations of such words, and similar expressions indicate a forward-looking statement, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. Readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are only predictions, are not guarantees of future performance, and are subject to risks, events, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors discussed herein, in Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in Item 1A entitled "Risk Factors" in Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, changes in the economy, risks associated with possible disruption due to terrorism in our operations or the economy generally, and future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our operating areas. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, information and projections about the industry in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless we are required to do so by law. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
The Asset Sale and Externalization Transactions
As further described below, under “Recent Developments,” on April 3, 2018, we entered into an asset purchase agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement, with BSP Asset Acquisition I, LLC, or the Asset Buyer (an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C., or BSP), pursuant to which we agreed to sell our December 31, 2017 investment portfolio to the Asset Buyer for gross proceeds of $981.2 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017, such transaction referred to herein as the Asset Sale Transaction. Simultaneously therewith, we entered into a stock purchase and transaction agreement, or the Externalization Agreement, with Barings LLC, or Barings, through which Barings will become the investment adviser to the Company in exchange for a payment by Barings of $85.0 million, or approximately $1.78 per share, directly to our stockholders and other consideration described below in “Recent Developments,” such transaction referred to herein as the Externalization Transaction. The Asset Sale Transaction and the Externalization Transaction are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
The Asset Sale Transaction closed on July 31, 2018 following receipt of stockholder approval at our July 24, 2018 special meeting of stockholders, or the Special Meeting. As a result of the Asset Sale Transaction, we have sold substantially all of our investment portfolio. The Externalization Transaction is expected to close on or around August 2, 2018, following which we will commence operations as an externally managed BDC managed by Barings. See “Recent Developments” below for more details about the effect of the Transactions on our financial condition and operations.
Overview of Our Business
We are a Maryland corporation which has elected to be treated and operates as an internally managed business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2018, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP, or Triangle SBIC, Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP, or

48



Triangle SBIC II and Triangle Mezzanine Fund III LP, or Triangle SBIC III, were licensed as small business investment companies, or SBICs, by the United States Small Business Administration, or SBA. In addition, Triangle SBIC has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We, Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III have historically invested primarily in debt instruments, equity investments, warrants and other securities of lower middle market privately-held companies located primarily in the United States.
Our business has historically been to provide capital to lower middle market companies located primarily in the United States. We historically focused on investments in companies with a history of generating revenues and positive cash flows, an established market position and a proven management team with a strong operating discipline. Our target portfolio company has annual revenues between $20.0 million and $300.0 million and annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, between $5.0 million and $75.0 million.
We have invested primarily in senior and subordinated debt securities of privately held companies, generally secured by security interests in portfolio company assets. In addition, we generally invested in one or more equity instruments of the borrower, such as direct preferred or common equity interests. Our investments generally range from $5.0 million to $50.0 million per portfolio company. In certain situations, we have in the past partnered with other funds to provide larger financing commitments.
We generate revenues in the form of interest income, primarily from our investments in debt securities, loan origination and other fees and dividend income. Fees generated in connection with our debt investments are recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method or, in some cases, recognized as earned. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of capital gains, if any, on warrants or other equity-related securities that we acquire from our portfolio companies. Our debt investments generally have a term of between three and seven years. In addition, our fixed debt investments typically bear interest between 10.0% and 15.0% per annum and our variable debt investments generally bear interest between LIBOR plus 550 basis points and LIBOR plus 950 basis points per annum. Certain of our debt investments have a form of interest, referred to as payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest, that is not paid currently but is instead accrued and added to the loan balance and paid at the end of the term. In our negotiations with potential portfolio companies, we generally seek to minimize PIK interest. Cash interest on our debt investments is generally payable quarterly; however, some of our debt investments pay cash interest on a monthly basis.
As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the weighted average yield on our outstanding debt investments other than non-accrual debt investments was approximately 11.0%. The weighted average yield on all of our outstanding investments (including equity and equity-linked investments but excluding non-accrual debt investments) was approximately 9.4% and 9.6% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The weighted average yield on all of our outstanding investments (including equity and equity-linked investments and non-accrual debt investments) was approximately 8.7% and 8.5% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Recent Developments
The Asset Sale Transaction and Externalization Transaction
Since our IPO in 2007, competition for private debt investment opportunities in the lower middle market has significantly intensified. One of the primary drivers of increased competition has been a large influx of capital from global investors seeking yield due to persistent low interest rates. This influx of capital has led to the formation of new competitive market participants with substantial amounts of capital to deploy, formidable financial, technological and marketing resources, and individualized risk tolerances. In addition, structural innovations within the leveraged loan market have afforded borrowers greater financing alternatives, thereby creating pricing pressure on all loan product categories. The combination of large inflows of capital, new competitive entrants, and expanded loan product offerings has created an imbalance between supply and demand and resulted in interest rate spread tightening and therefore the lowering of weighted-average yields associated with the investment portfolios of most BDC industry participants, including ours.
Historically, we have focused on investments in subordinated debt (or mezzanine) securities, which generally produce higher yields but typically carry higher amounts of principal risk versus more senior-oriented securities. For many years, this mezzanine strategy served us well, resulting in positive risk-adjusted returns and strong dividends per share. However, as our management began to observe the emerging trends noted above and more fully understand their potential impact, we began shifting the composition of our investment portfolio towards more lower-risk, senior securities and also towards larger companies which were expected to perform well in a later-stage economic environment. While investing in senior securities can reduce risks for stockholders due to lower volatility associated with fluctuations in principal loan values, such an investing strategy also produces lower investment yields and, depending on investment portfolio composition, reduces the overall weighted average yield of our investment portfolio. In order to control one’s investment position in senior securities, meaningfully larger commitments of capital are required on a per company basis as compared to junior securities such as

49



subordinated or mezzanine debt. As we continued to face competition from larger, more well-capitalized debt capital providers, yield compression associated with our shift towards investing in senior securities further contributed to our net investment income and put pressure on our ability to sustain historic dividend levels. Consequently, in late 2015, our management and Board of Directors began reviewing strategic options by which we could enhance our competitive positioning in the direct lending industry. In 2016 and 2017, our management met regularly with external financial advisors to gain additional perspectives on the direct lending industry and on ways we might consider enhancing stockholder value.
Following the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, and in light of the challenges being presented by persistent low interest rates, new competition, a broader range of available financing products, and our size constraints due to our comparatively small balance sheet, our Board of Directors concluded that in order to maximize stockholder value over the longer term, we likely would be best served by finding a suitable strategic partner having the scale, scope, range of financing products and risk profile to navigate the increasingly sophisticated direct lending market. As a result, our Board of Directors formally engaged a financial advisor in November 2017 to explore potential strategic alternatives.
After a comprehensive review of potential strategic alternatives, and as previously disclosed, on April 3, 2018, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Asset Buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell our December 31, 2017 investment portfolio to the Asset Buyer for gross proceeds of $981.2 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017. Simultaneously therewith, we entered into the Externalization Agreement with Barings, through which Barings will become our investment adviser in exchange for a payment by Barings of $85.0 million, or approximately $1.78 per share, directly to our stockholders and other consideration as discussed further below.
The Asset Sale Transaction closed on July 31, 2018 following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting held on July 24, 2018. The gross cash proceeds received from the Asset Buyer and certain affiliates of the Asset Buyer in connection with the Asset Sale Transaction were approximately $793.3 million, after adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017, as described in greater detail in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Adjustments to the purchase price included, among other things, approximately $208.8 million of principal payments and prepayments, sales proceeds and distributions related to the investment portfolio that were received and retained by us between December 31, 2017 and the closing of the Asset Sale, offset by approximately $29.5 million of loans and equity investments originated between December 31, 2017 and the closing of the Asset Sale.
Upon the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, approximately $0.7 million of previously unvested deferred compensation benefits became fully vested. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, all 904,060 outstanding shares of restricted stock outstanding under the Omnibus Plan vested. As a result, we accelerated the recognition of the remaining $11.3 million of equity based compensation expense in July 2018. After the vesting, the Company currently has no shares of restricted stock or other equity awards outstanding. The fair market value of the vested shares on July 31, 2018 (the vesting date) was approximately $10.8 million. The Board intends to terminate the Omnibus Plan in connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction, described below.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, we also caused notices to be issued to the holders of our unsecured 6.375% notes due December 15, 2022, or the December 2022 Notes, and our unsecured 6.375% notes due March 15, 2022, or the March 2022 Notes, regarding the redemption of all $80.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the December 2022 Notes and all $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2022 Notes, in each case, on August 30, 2018. The December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes will each be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount ($25.00 per Note), plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon from June 15, 2018 to, but excluding, August 30, 2018. In furtherance of the redemption, on July 31, 2018, we also irrevocably deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes, funds in trust for the purposes of redeeming all of the issued and outstanding December 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes and paying all sums due and payable under the indenture and supplements thereto. As a result, our obligations under the indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes were satisfied and discharged as of July 31, 2018, except with respect to those obligations that the indenture expressly provides shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.
Subsequent to June 30, 2018, but prior to the closing of the Asset Sale, we repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, we terminated the Credit Facility. We also repaid the SBA-guaranteed debentures and delivered necessary materials to the SBA to surrender the SBIC licenses held by Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II, and Triangle SBIC III.
The Externalization Transaction is expected to close on or around August 2, 2018. In connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction, we will enter into an investment advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, and an

50



administration agreement with Barings, pursuant to which Barings will serve as our investment adviser and administrator. Also, in connection with the closing of the Externalization Transaction, Barings will pay $85.0 million, or approximately $1.78 per share, directly to our stockholders in exchange for the right to become our investment adviser under the Advisory Agreement. In addition, Barings will make an investment of $100.0 million in newly issued shares of our common stock at net asset value upon the closing of the Externalization Transaction. Furthermore, Barings has committed to purchase up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock in the open market at prices up to and including the then-current net asset value for a period of two years post-closing of the Externalization Transaction, after which Barings has agreed to use any remaining funds from the $50.0 million to purchase additional newly issued shares of our common stock at the greater of the then-current net asset value and market price. Barings’ total financial commitment to the Externalization Transaction is $235.0 million. In addition, our Board of Directors has authorized a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer, to commence immediately after the closing of the Externalization Transaction, to purchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $50.0 million at prices up to and including net asset value per share. Also, the name of the Company will change to “Barings BDC, Inc.” in conjunction with the closing of the Externalization Transaction.
As previously disclosed in our definitive proxy statement relating to the Transactions, filed with the SEC on June 1, 2018, and any supplements thereto, collectively referred to as the Proxy Statement, all of our existing officers and directors will resign effective as of the closing of the Externalization Transaction. In addition, our Board of Directors has approved the election of, effective from and after the closing of the Externalization Transaction, directors identified by Barings and the appointment of each such director to a director class selected by Barings, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement. Our Board of Directors has also appointed new officers of the Company as identified by Barings, effective from and after the closing of the Externalization Transaction. Refer to the Proxy Statement for more information.
Following the closing of the Externalization Transaction, Barings intends to invest a substantial portion of the cash that we are expected to have on our balance sheet in a liquid, non-investment grade debt portfolio, within 90 days thereof. Barings will then work to transition our liquid debt portfolio into a private senior secured debt portfolio within the following two years, subject to market conditions. We discontinued paying a quarterly dividend starting with the second quarter of 2018; however, we expect to begin paying quarterly dividends to our stockholders as soon as is practicable after the closing of the Externalization Transaction, initially based on the investment income generated by our liquid, non-investment grade debt portfolio and then based on the investment income generated by our private senior secured debt portfolio.
Stockholder Approval of Reduced Asset Coverage Ratio
On July 24, 2018, our stockholders voted at the Special Meeting to approve a proposal to authorize us to be subject to a reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, effective July 25, 2018, our applicable asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act has been decreased to 150% from 200%. Although we have no immediate plans to significantly increase our leverage, we are now permitted under the 1940 Act to incur indebtedness at a level which more consistent with a portfolio of senior secured debt. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018 for more information on the stockholder approval of the reduced asset coverage ratio.

Excludes non-accrual debt investments
Non-Accrual Assets
Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of our non-accrual assets was $11.6 million, which comprised 1.4% of the total fair value of our portfolio, and the cost of our non-accrual assets was $58.8 million, which comprised 6.5% of the total cost of our portfolio. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of our non-accrual assets was $15.8 million, which comprised 1.6% of the total fair value of our portfolio, and the cost of our non-accrual assets was $120.1 million, which comprised 10.7% of the total cost of our portfolio.

53



Our non-accrual assets as of June 30, 2018 were as follows:
Cafe Enterprises, Inc.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we placed our subordinated debt investment in Cafe Enterprises, Inc., or Cafe, on PIK non-accrual status. In September 2017, we placed our debt investments in Cafe on non-accrual status effective with the quarterly payments due September 30, 2017. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, we no longer recognize interest income on our debt investments in Cafe for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2018, the cost of our debt investments in Cafe was $15.7 million and the fair value of such investments was zero.
Community Intervention Services, Inc.
In June 2017, we placed our debt investment in Community Intervention Services, Inc., or Community, on non-accrual status effective with the quarterly payment due June 30, 2017. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, we no longer recognize interest income on our debt investment in Community for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2018, the cost of our debt investment in Community was $17.7 million and the fair value of such investment was zero.
Frank Entertainment Group, LLC
In September 2017, we placed our debt investments in Frank Entertainment Group, LLC, or Frank, on non-accrual status effective with the monthly payments due July 31, 2017. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, we no longer recognize interest income on our debt investments in Frank for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2018, the cost of our debt investments in Frank was $14.1 million and the fair value of such investments was $6.2 million.
Technology Crops, LLC
In June 2018, we placed our debt investments in Technology Crops, LLC, or Technology Crops, on non-accrual status effective with the monthly payment due June 30, 2018. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, we no longer recognize interest income on our debt investments in Technology Crops for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2018, the cost of our debt investments in Technology Crops was $11.3 million and the fair value of such investments was $5.4 million.
Results of Operations
Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Investment Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, total investment income was $25.5 million, an 18.4% decrease from $31.2 million of total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in portfolio debt investments from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, a decrease in the weighted average yield on our debt investments from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and a $0.7 million decrease in non-recurring dividend income, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in non-recurring fee income. The weighted average yield on our debt investments (other than non-accrual investments) was 11.0% as of June 30, 2018, as compared to 11.4% as of June 30, 2017. Non-recurring fee income was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Non-recurring dividend income was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, operating expenses increased by 29.9% to $15.4 million from $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our operating expenses consist of interest and other financing fees, compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, interest and other financing fees increased by 3.2% to $7.3 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Compensation expenses are primarily influenced by headcount and levels of business activity. Our compensation expenses include salaries, discretionary compensation, equity-based compensation and benefits. Discretionary compensation is significantly impacted by our level of total investment income, our investment results, including investment realizations, prevailing labor markets and the external environment. As a result of these and other factors, our compensation expenses can fluctuate materially from period to period. Accordingly, the amount of compensation expenses recognized in any particular period may not be indicative of compensation expenses in a future period.

54



For the three months ended June 30, 2018, compensation expenses increased by 7.5% to $3.8 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses increased by 260.0% to $4.2 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increased legal expenses and other direct costs related to our strategic alternatives review process announced by our Board of Directors in November 2017. See further discussion regarding the Transactions above in the "Recent Developments" section.
In addition, our efficiency ratio (defined as the sum of compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total investment income) increased to 31.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 15.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $5.7 million decrease in total investment income and the $3.5 million increase in operating expenses, net investment income decreased by 48.0% to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Net Increase/Decrease in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
In the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized realized losses totaling $37.2 million, which consisted primarily of a net loss on the repayments/write-offs of four non-control/non-affiliate investments totaling $43.8 million, a net loss on the repayments/write-off of two control investments totaling $6.6 million, a net loss on the sales/write-offs of two affiliate investments totaling $1.3 million and a net foreign currency realized loss of $0.3 million, partially offset by net gains from the sales of ten non-control/non-affiliate investments totaling $14.4 million and net gains from the sale of one affiliate investment totaling $0.4 million. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $43.0 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $1.3 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $41.7 million related to the realized gains and losses noted above.
In the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized realized gains totaling $5.2 million, which consisted primarily of a net gain on the sales of seven non-control/non-affiliate investments totaling $8.0 million, partially offset by a net loss on the write-off of one non-control/non-affiliate investment totaling $2.7 million and a net loss on the sale of one affiliate investment totaling $0.1 million. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded net unrealized depreciation totaling $26.2 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciation on our current portfolio of $23.8 million and net unrealized depreciation reclassification adjustments of $2.4 million related to the realized gains and losses noted above.
As a result of these events, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Investment Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, total investment income was $51.5 million, a 16.0% decrease from $61.4 million of total investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in portfolio debt investments from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, a decrease in the weighted average yield on our debt investments from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and a $0.8 million decrease in non-recurring dividend income, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in non-recurring fee income. The weighted average yield on our debt investments (other than non-accrual investments) was 11.0% as of June 30, 2018, as compared to 11.4% as of June 30, 2017. Non-recurring fee income was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net non-recurring dividend income was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Operating Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, operating expenses increased by 18.7% to $28.8 million from $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our operating expenses consist of interest and other financing fees, compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, interest and other financing fees increased by 6.5% to $14.9 million from $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

55



For the six months ended June 30, 2018, compensation expenses increased by 1.4% to $7.9 million from $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses increased by 147.2% to $5.9 million from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increased legal expenses and other direct costs related to our strategic alternatives review process announced by our Board of Directors in November 2017. See further discussion regarding the Transactions above in the "Recent Developments" section.
In addition, our efficiency ratio (defined as the sum of compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total investment income) increased to 26.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 16.6% for the six months ended ended June 30, 2017.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $9.9 million decrease in total investment income and the $4.5 million increase in operating expenses, net investment income decreased by 38.7% to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Net Increase/Decrease in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
In the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized realized losses totaling $44.5 million, which consisted primarily of net losses on the repayments/write-offs of four non-control/non-affiliate investments totaling $43.8 million, a loss on the restructuring of one non-control/non-affiliate investment totaling $16.1 million, a loss on the repayments/write-off of two control investments totaling $6.6 million and a net loss on the sales/write-offs of three affiliate investments totaling $1.8 million, partially offset by a gain from a tax distribution from an affiliate investment totaling $3.8 million, net gains from the sales of seventeen non-control/non-affiliate investments totaling $18.6 million, a gain from the sale of one affiliate investment totaling $0.4 million and a net foreign currency realized gain of $1.1 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $52.0 million consisting of net unrealized depreciation on our current portfolio of $1.2 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $53.3 million related to the realized gains and losses noted above.
In the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized realized losses totaling $8.1 million, which consisted primarily of a net loss on the write-off of one control investment totaling $4.5 million and net losses on the restructuring/write-off of four non-control investments totaling $15.7 million, partially offset by a net gain on the sale of eight non-control/non-affiliate investment totaling $8.6 million and net gains on the sales of four affiliate investments totaling $3.4 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded net unrealized depreciation totaling $23.6 million consisting of net unrealized depreciation on our current portfolio of $33.5 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $9.9 million related to the realized gains and losses noted above.
As a result of these events, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are our investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents. As a result of the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, a significant portion of our assets are represented by cash and cash equivalents. Refer to “Recent Developments” above for more information. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations for at least the next twelve months
Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $24.6 million. During that period, our operating activities provided $186.2 million in cash, consisting primarily of repayments received from portfolio companies and proceeds from sales of investments totaling $196.6 million, which in addition to the cash provided by other operating activities, was partially offset by portfolio investments of $29.1 million. In addition, financing activities decreased cash by $161.5 million, consisting primarily of repayments under the Credit Facility of $150.0 million and cash dividends paid in the amount of $14.4 million. As of June 30, 2018, we had $216.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $42.1 million. During that period, our operating activities used $125.2 million in cash, consisting primarily of new portfolio investments of $251.0 million, partially offset by repayments received from portfolio companies and proceeds from sales of

56



portfolio investments of approximately $88.8 million. In addition, our financing activities increased cash by $83.1 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from our public stock offering of $132.0 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid in the amount of $41.3 million and net repayments under the Credit Facility of $2.4 million. As of June 30, 2017, we had $65.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Financing Transactions
As of June 30, 2018, Triangle SBIC had issued the maximum $150.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures and Triangle SBIC II had issued $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures. In addition to the one-time 1.0% fee on the total commitment from the SBA, we also pay a one-time fee of 2.425% on the amount of each debenture issued. These fees are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the term of the debt agreements using the effective interest method. The weighted average interest rate for all SBA-guaranteed debentures as of June 30, 2018 was 3.90%. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all SBA-guaranteed debentures were pooled. See “Recent Developments” above for information on the repayment of the SBA-guaranteed debentures in connection with the Transactions.
In May 2015, we entered into the Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended in May 2017. The amendment, among other things, increased commitments from $300.0 million to $435.0 million and extended the maturity by two years. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends April 30, 2021 followed by a one-year amortization period with a final maturity date of April 30, 2022. The Credit Facility, which was structured to operate like a revolving credit facility, was secured primarily by our assets, excluding the assets of our wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries. The Credit Facility had an accordion feature that allowed for an increase in the total borrowing size up to $550.0 million, subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. Using this accordion feature, in July 2017, we increased our commitments under the Credit Facility from $435.0 million to $465.0 million, and in September 2017, we again increased our commitments under the Credit Facility from $465.0 million to $480.0 million.
As of June 30, 2018, we had United States dollar borrowings of $10.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility with an interest rate of 4.74%. and were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility. In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, we repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and terminated the Credit Facility. See “Recent Developments” above for more information.
In October 2012, we issued $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the December 2022 Notes, and in November 2012, we issued $10.5 million of December 2022 Notes pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option. The December 2022 Notes mature on December 15, 2022, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option. The December 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2012. 
In February 2015, we issued $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2022 Notes. The March 2022 Notes mature on March 15, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option. The March 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2015. The net proceeds from the sale of the March 2022 Notes, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were $83.4 million.
The indenture and supplements thereto relating to the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes contain certain covenants, including but not limited to (i) a requirement that we comply with the asset coverage requirement of the 1940 Act or any successor provisions, after giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC, (ii) a requirement that we will not declare any cash dividend, or declare any other cash distribution, upon a class of our capital stock, or purchase any such capital stock, unless, in every such case, at the time of the declaration of any such dividend or distribution, or at the time of any such purchase, we have an asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC, and (iii) a requirement that we provide financial information to the holders of the notes and the trustee under the indenture if we should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants of the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes.
In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company caused notices to be issued to the holders of its December 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes regarding the redemption of all $80.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the December 2022 Notes and all $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2022 Notes, in each case, on August 30, 2018. See “Recent Developments” above for more information.

Distributions to Stockholders
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and intend to make the required distributions to our stockholders as specified therein. As a result of the Transactions, we discontinued paying a quarterly dividend starting with the second quarter of 2018; however, we expect to begin paying quarterly dividends to our stockholders as soon as is practicable after the closing of the Externalization Transaction, initially based on the investment income generated by our liquid, non-investment grade debt portfolio and then based on the investment income generated by our private senior secured debt portfolio.
In order to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC and to obtain RIC tax benefits, we must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then we are generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of our taxable income and gains we do not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. We have historically met our minimum distribution requirements and continually monitor our distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and our ability to make distributions will be limited by the asset coverage requirement and related provisions under the 1940 Act and contained in any applicable indenture and related supplements.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require us to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, or ICTI, as defined by the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of the next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. We may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), we must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our ICTI for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods covered by such financial statements. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.
Investment Valuation
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. We have a valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a recurring (quarterly) basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC Topic 820. Our valuation policy and processes were established by our management with the assistance of certain third-party advisors and were approved by the Board. Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

58



Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. Therefore, we determine the fair value of our investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs may exist, and if so, we assess the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance of the portfolio company.
Under ASC Topic 820, a financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of our investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
Our valuation process is led by our executive officers. The valuation process begins with a quarterly review of each investment in our investment portfolio by our executive officers and our investment committee. Valuations of each portfolio security are then prepared by our investment professionals, who have direct responsibility for the origination, management and monitoring of each investment. Under our valuation policy, each investment valuation is subject to (i) a review by the lead investment officer responsible for the portfolio company investment and (ii) a peer review by a second investment officer or executive officer. Generally, any investment that is valued below cost is subjected to review by one of our executive officers. After the peer review is complete, we engage two independent valuation firms, including Duff & Phelps, LLC, collectively referred to as the Valuation Firms, to provide third-party reviews of certain investments, as described further below. Finally, the Board has the responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Valuation Firms provide third-party valuation consulting services to us which consist of certain limited procedures that we identified and requested the Valuation Firms to perform, which we refer to herein as the Procedures. The Procedures are performed with respect to each portfolio company at least once in every calendar year and for new portfolio companies, at least once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In addition, the Procedures are generally performed with respect to a portfolio company when there has been a significant change in the fair value of the investment. In certain instances, we may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in our stockholders’ best interest, to request the Valuation Firms to perform the Procedures on one or more portfolio companies. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.
The total number of investments and the percentage of our investment portfolio on which the Procedures were performed are summarized below by period:

Upon completion of the Procedures, the Valuation Firms concluded that, with respect to each investment reviewed by each Valuation Firm, the fair value of those investments subjected to the Procedures appeared reasonable. The Board is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value of our investments in good faith.
Investment Valuation Inputs
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For our portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that we might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if we do not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market. The securities in which we invest are generally only purchased and sold in merger and acquisition transactions, in which case the entire portfolio company is sold to a third-party purchaser. As a result, unless we have the ability to control such a transaction, the assumed principal market for our securities is a hypothetical secondary market. The Level 3 inputs to our valuation process reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a transaction in a hypothetical secondary market.
Enterprise Value Waterfall Approach
In valuing equity securities (including warrants), we estimate fair value using an “Enterprise Value Waterfall” valuation model. We estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then allocate the enterprise value to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative liquidation preference. In addition, the model assumes that any outstanding debt or other securities that are senior to our equity securities are required to be repaid at par. Additionally, we estimate the fair value of a limited number of our debt securities using the Enterprise Value Waterfall approach in cases where we do not expect to receive full repayment.
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we primarily use a valuation model based on a transaction multiple, which generally is the original transaction multiple, and measures of the portfolio company’s financial performance. In addition, we consider other factors, including but not limited to (i) offers from third parties to purchase the portfolio company, (ii) the implied value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company, (iii) publicly available information regarding recent sales of private companies in comparable transactions and (iv) when management believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, we perform a review of these publicly traded companies and the market multiple of their equity securities. For certain non-performing assets, we may utilize the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets in our estimation of enterprise value.
The significant Level 3 inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model are (i) an appropriate transaction multiple and (ii) a measure of the portfolio company’s financial performance, which generally is either earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, or Adjusted EBITDA, or revenues. Such inputs can be based on historical operating results, projections of future operating results or a combination thereof. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for certain non-recurring items. In determining the operating results input, we utilize the most recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts available as of the valuation date. Management also consults with the portfolio company’s senior management to obtain updates on the portfolio company’s performance, including information such as industry trends, new product development, loss of customers and other operational issues. Additionally, we consider some or all of the following factors:
financial standing of the issuer of the security;
comparison of the business and financial plan of the issuer with actual results;
the size of the security held;
pending reorganization activity affecting the issuer, such as merger or debt restructuring;
ability of the issuer to obtain needed financing;
changes in the economy affecting the issuer;
financial statements and reports from portfolio company senior management and ownership;
the type of security, the security’s cost at the date of purchase and any contractual restrictions on the disposition of the security;
information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security and/or sales to third parties of similar securities;

60



the issuer’s ability to make payments and the type of collateral;
the current and forecasted earnings of the issuer;
statistical ratios compared to lending standards and to other similar securities; 
pending public offering of common stock by the issuer of the security;
special reports prepared by analysts; and
any other factors we deem pertinent with respect to a particular investment.
Fair value measurements using the Enterprise Value Waterfall model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in either the transaction multiple, Adjusted EBITDA or revenues for a particular equity security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
Income Approach
In valuing debt securities, we utilize an “Income Approach” model that considers factors including, but not limited to, (i) the stated yield on the debt security, (ii) the portfolio company’s current Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the portfolio company’s historical or projected Adjusted EBITDA as of the date the investment was made and the portfolio company’s anticipated Adjusted EBITDA for the next twelve months of operations, (iii) the portfolio company’s current Leverage Ratio (defined as the portfolio company’s total indebtedness divided by Adjusted EBITDA) as compared to its Leverage Ratio as of the date the investment was made, (iv) publicly available information regarding current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of private companies and (v) when management believes a relevant comparison exists, current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of publicly traded debt. In addition, we use a risk rating system to estimate the probability of default on the debt securities and the probability of loss if there is a default. This risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities held.
We consider the factors above, particularly any significant changes in the portfolio company’s results of operations and leverage, and develop an expectation of the yield that a hypothetical market participant would require when purchasing the debt investment, which we refer to herein as the Required Rate of Return. The Required Rate of Return, along with the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA, are the significant Level 3 inputs to the Income Approach model. For investments where the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA have not fluctuated significantly from the date the investment was made or have not fluctuated significantly from management’s expectations as of the date the investment was made, and where there have been no significant fluctuations in the market pricing for such investments, we may conclude that the Required Rate of Return is equal to the stated rate on the investment and therefore, the debt security is appropriately priced. In instances where we determine that the Required Rate of Return is different from the stated rate on the investment, we discount the contractual cash flows on the debt instrument using the Required Rate of Return in order to estimate the fair value of the debt security.
Fair value measurements using the Income Approach model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Required Rate of Return or Leverage Ratio inputs for a particular debt security would result in a lower (higher) fair value for that security. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Adjusted EBITDA input for a particular debt security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
The fair value of our royalty rights are calculated based on specific provisions contained in the pertinent operating or royalty agreements. The determination of the fair value of such royalty rights is not a significant component of our valuation process.
Revenue Recognition
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The cessation of recognition of such interest will negatively impact the reported fair value of the investment. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when it is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

61



We may have to include in our ICTI interest income, including original issue discount income, from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our RIC tax treatment, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. Additionally, any loss recognized by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes on previously accrued interest income will be treated as a capital loss.
Fee Income
Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connection with the origination of a loan, or Loan Origination Fees, are recorded as deferred income and recognized as investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of our business, we receive certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and loan waiver and amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned.
Payment-in-Kind (PIK) Interest Income
As of June 30, 2018 we held, and we expect to hold in the future, loans in our portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to us in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.
PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in our taxable income and therefore affects the amount we are required to distribute to our stockholders to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though we have not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.
We may have to include in our ICTI, PIK interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount.

Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The balances of unused commitments to extend financing as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to market risk. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of any securities that may be held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.
In addition, we are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. Our net investment income is also affected by fluctuations in various interest rates. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk and determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2018, we were not a party to any hedging arrangements.
Because we have previously borrowed, and plan to borrow in the future, money to make investments, our net investment income will be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio.
We may also have exposure to foreign currencies related to certain investments. Such investments are translated into United States dollars based on the spot rate at each balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in the exchange rate. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, we may borrow in foreign currencies to finance such investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We and certain of our current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits, each filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The first lawsuit was filed on November 21, 2017, and was captioned Elias Dagher, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00015-FL (the “Dagher Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on November 28, 2017, and was captioned Gary W. Holden, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL (the “Holden Action”). The Dagher Action and the Holden Action were consolidated and are currently captioned In re Triangle Capital Corp. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL.  
On April 10, 2018, the plaintiff filed its First Consolidated Amended Complaint. The complaint, as currently amended, alleges certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but did not specify the amount of damages being sought. On May 25, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 9, 2018, the plaintiff filed its response in opposition to the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of July 31, 2018.
We and the members of our Board of Directors have been named as defendants in three other putative securities class action lawsuits challenging our June 1, 2018 proxy statement seeking shareholder approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Externalization Agreement. The first lawsuit was filed on July 6, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and is captioned Carlson, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00332-FL (the “Carlson Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on July 9, 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and is captioned Hammer, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-02086-RDB (the “Hammer Action”). The third lawsuit was filed on July 12, 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and is captioned Kent, et al. v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-0237-ELH (the “Kent Action”). The complaints in the Carlson Action, the Hammer Action, and the Kent Action each allege certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain material omissions in the proxy statement, and each sought to enjoin the shareholder meeting scheduled for July 24, 2018, among other relief.
On July 11, 2018, the plaintiff in the Carlson Action filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the July 24, 2018 shareholder vote and to require that certain supplemental disclosures be made. On July 16, 2018, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. The time for the defendants to respond to the complaints in the Carlson Action, Hammer Action, and Kent Action has not yet expired.
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations in the aforementioned actions. Neither the outcome of the lawsuits nor an estimate of any reasonably possible losses is determinable at this time. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a material adverse effect on our operations and liquidity.  Except as discussed above, neither we nor our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018, and in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on May 2, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

New Legislation allows us to incur additional leverage.

On March 23, 2018, an amendment to Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act was signed into law to permit BDCs to reduce the minimum “asset coverage” ratio from 200% to 150%, so long as certain approval and disclosure requirements are satisfied. On July 24, 2018, our stockholders voted at the Special Meeting to approve a proposal to authorize us to be subject to the reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, effective July 25, 2018, the asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act applicable to us has been decreased to 150% from 200%. In other words, under the 1940 Act, we are now able to borrow $2 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity, as opposed to borrowing $1 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity. As a result, we will be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future and you may face increased investment risk.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we will, raise additional capital. As a BDC, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.

We may issue debt securities or preferred stock and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively as “senior securities,” up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act and as a result of the stockholder approval received at the Special Meeting on July 24, 2018, we are permitted as a BDC to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% of total assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test, which may prohibit us from paying dividends and could prevent us from maintaining our status as a RIC or may prohibit us from repurchasing shares of our common stock. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Accordingly, any failure to satisfy this test could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of issuing senior securities, our common stockholders would also be exposed to typical risks associated with increased leverage, including an increased risk of loss resulting from increased indebtedness.

If we issue preferred stock, the preferred stock would rank “senior” to common stock in our capital structure, preferred stockholders would have separate voting rights on certain matters and might have other rights, preferences, or privileges more favorable than those of our common stockholders, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest.
Incurring additional leverage may magnify our exposure to risks associated with changes in interest rates, including fluctuations in interest rates which could adversely affect our profitability.
As part of our business strategy, we may borrow money and issue additional senior debt securities to banks, insurance companies and other lenders. Holders of these loans or senior securities would have fixed-dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our stockholders. If the value of our assets decreases, leverage will cause our net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have without leverage. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause our net income to decline more sharply than it would have if we had not borrowed. This decline could negatively affect our ability to make dividend payments on our common stock.
If we incur additional leverage as a result of the stockholder vote to approve the proposal to authorize us to be subject to the reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act, general interest rate fluctuations may have a more significant negative impact on our investments than they would have absent such approval, and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on our investment objective and rate of return on investment capital. A portion of our income will depend upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the interest rate on the debt securities in which we invest. Because we will borrow money to make investments and may issue debt securities, preferred stock or other securities, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds or pay interest or dividends on such debt securities, preferred stock or other securities and the rate at which we invest these funds. Typically, we anticipate that our interest earning investments will accrue and pay interest at variable rates, and that our interest-bearing liabilities will accrue interest at variable and fixed rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.


66



Our indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under credit facilities or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before it matures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets or seeking additional equity. We cannot assure you that any such actions, if necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or on terms that would not be disadvantageous to our stockholders or on terms that would not require us to breach the terms and conditions of our existing or future debt agreements.
The proposed fee structure under the Advisory Agreement may induce Barings to pursue speculative investments and incur leverage, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
After the closing of the Transactions, the base management fee under the Advisory Agreement will be payable to Barings even if the value of your investment declines. The base management fee will be calculated based on our gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage (but excluding cash or cash equivalents). Accordingly, the base management fee will be payable regardless of whether the value of our gross assets and/or your investment has decreased during the then-current quarter and creates an incentive for Barings to incur leverage, which may not be consistent with our stockholders’ interests.
The incentive fee payable to Barings under the Advisory Agreement will be calculated based on a percentage of our return on invested capital. After the closing of the Transactions, the incentive fee payable to Barings may create an incentive for Barings to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such a compensation arrangement. Unlike the base management fee, the income-based incentive fee is payable only if the hurdle rate is achieved. Because the portfolio earns investment income on gross assets while the hurdle rate is based on invested capital, and because the use of leverage increases gross assets without any corresponding increase in invested capital, Barings may be incentivized to incur leverage to grow the portfolio, which will tend to enhance returns where our portfolio has positive returns and increase the chances that such hurdle rate is achieved. Conversely, the use of leverage may increase losses where our portfolio has negative returns, which would impair the value of our common stock.
In addition, Barings will receive the incentive fees based, in part, upon net capital gains realized on our investments. Unlike that portion of incentive fees based on income, there is no hurdle rate applicable to the portion of the incentive fees based on net capital gains. As a result, Barings may have a tendency to invest more capital in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice could result in our investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during economic downturns.
