Executive Summary ▪ TICC Management, LLC (“TICC Management”), the Company’s current adviser, has agreed to be acquired by Benefit Street Partners, LLC (“BSP”) . ▪ NexPoint’s alternative proposal offers stockholders superior economics and is designed to bolster and support the dividend . ▪ NexPoint believes that the Board has failed to act in the best interest of stockholders by : ▪ Initially recommending the Benefit Street Partners transaction where 100 % of the related consideration (which we believe to be at least $ 60 million and initially as high as $ 132 million prior to our involvement) would be paid to the existing management team rather than the Company’s stockholders ; 1 ▪ Refusing to engage us in any meaningful dialogue after we provided the Board multiple superior management proposals offering significant economic benefits for stockholders, as well as superior expertise in managing the Company’s investment strategy ; ▪ Continuing to support a revised advisory agreement with the current investment adviser that was only enhanced in reaction to our superior proposals ; ▪ Still refusing to engage us after we further enhanced our proposals to create approximately $ 45 to $ 50 million of incremental value for stockholders over the next 10 years (based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30 , 2015 ) that remains notably absent from the Benefit Street Partners proposal ; ▪ Providing what we believe are materially misleading proxy materials ; and ▪ Attempting to disenfranchise stockholders by attempting to leave our Board nominees off the ballot . 3 1 According to at least one industry analyst, the current revised arrangement with Benefit Street Partners could generate $60 mi llion in payments to TICC Management, LLC. Assuming that the value of the concessions made by Benefit Street Partners in its revised proposal was deducted from the initial consideration offered by Benefit Street Pa rtners, we estimate that the initial consideration offered by Benefit Street Partners could have been as high as $132 million, i.e., $60 million plus the estimated present value of the 50bps perpetual management fee c onc ession (based on the company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015), which is $52 million, together with the $20 million of proposed purchases of Company shares. Notably, NexPoint’s current proposal still provides approximately $45 to $50 million of value to stockholders over the next 10 years compared to th e proposed arrangement with Benefit Street Partners (based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015).

Executive Summary ▪ Since the Board’s actions to date indicate that their interests are more aligned with the Company’s incumbent management than with you as a stockholder, we have nominated a highly experienced alternative slate of Board nominees . - If elected at the October 27 meeting, we believe will work in good faith to protect your rights and investment and, subject to their duties as directors, hire NexPoint as the Company’s investment adviser . ▪ On October 8 , 2015 NexPoint commenced litigation against the Company, its Board of Directors and President because we believe the Company’s actions clearly and deliberately violate Maryland law and Section 14 (a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended . ▪ TPG Specialty Lending, Inc . (“TSLX”) submitted a preliminary, non - binding all - stock offer only and does not have a proposal for approval at the Special Meeting . - To date the Board has provided no indication they are willing to pursue the TSLX proposal . - Only NexPoint’s proposal significantly reduces fees with $ 45 - 50 million of savings directly benefiting stockholders over the next ten years when compared to both the BSP’s and TSLX’s proposal . * - TSLX takeover price is inadequate and represents an approximately 13 % discount to net value of the Company’s assets (based on the Company’s June 30 , 2015 financial statements) . - We believe cancelling the meeting creates a worst of all worlds situation where incumbent management remains entrenched to the extended detriment of stockholders . ▪ We view past as prologue and therefore view it extremely unlikely that the current TICC Board will ever support the TSLX proposal . 4 Only after NexPoint’s proposal did the Board seek improved terms from BSP *Based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015. Assumes 14% annual return.

NexPoint Urges you to: ▪ Vote AGAINST the TICC Management Advisory Agreement; ▪ Vote FOR electing NexPoint’s competing slate of director nominees, rejecting the new director nominees proposed by the Board; and ▪ Vote AGAINST the Company’s proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting in the event that a quorum is present and the Company’s proposals did not receive sufficient votes for approval. 5

NexPoint Offers Superior Economics ▪ Don’t be misled by either BSP or TSLX. - Applicable fees under both BSP and TSLX proposals are materially higher than those proposed by NexPoint . ▪ NexPoint was the first to commit to open market purchases of the Company’s shares to help reduce TICC’s discount to NAV . ▪ The stockholder loyalty program will further help reduce the discount as shares are purchased in the open market when they are trading at a discount . ▪ I nclude the same support as that announced by BSP for a tender offer or share repurchase program of between $50 million and $100 million. ▪ What it boils down to is that under BSP’s management proposal, initially as much as $132 million and now at least $60 million (which was solely reduced as a result of our superior bid in favor of stockholders) is being paid to current management of the Company, rather than to the proper beneficiaries: the Company’s stockholders . - In contrast, our proposal offers stockholders $45 - 50 million in savings over the BSP proposal and $55 - 64 million in savings over the TSLX proposal . 1 11 1 Based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015.

NexPoint’s Superior Experience ▪ NexPoint will maintain the Company’s current investment strategy, which is what stockholders have elected; - Though remaining flexible, and with the expertise, to adjust the strategy should independent Board members or stockholders so choose. ▪ NexPoint has superior experience to both BSP and TSLX with respect to managing this strategy. - BSP and TSLX are affiliates of traditional private equity sponsors that also specialize in middle market lending. - Only NexPoint and its affiliates have been pioneers in leveraged loans and CLOs for over two decades. 12

Stockholder Focused Board ▪ NexPoint has nominated a highly qualified slate of directors who will be entirely focused on their fiduciary duties and delivering value for stockholders. - Detailed biographies of our nominees are available in Appendix II of this presentation. - If elected we expect to recommend engaging separate, premier legal counsel to advise the Board and TICC. - All Board members will be expected to: ▪ Invest a portion of their board compensation in shares of TICC to further align interest of the board to stockholders. ▪ Comply with continuing education requirements. ▪ The current Board is more aligned with management than stockholders and is seeking to enrich them at stockholder’s expense through the BSP transaction. 13 Replacing the current Board is required to protect stockholder’s interests and investment in TICC, NexPoint’s nominees will protect stockholder value

Why is NexPoint sending me a proxy statement? ▪ NexPoint believes that the Board has failed to act in your best interests by continuing to support the BSP acquisition and recommending approval of the TICC Management Advisory Agreement while ignoring NexPoint’s repeated requests to meet with the Board, and refusing to engage NexPoint in any meaningful dialogue regarding the terms of NexPoint’s management proposals. ▪ NexPoint’s proposal offers stockholders material benefits that are notably absent from the transaction with BSP. ▪ Shockingly, in addition to the Board’s apparent dereliction of duty in refusing to negotiate with NexPoint, the Secretary of the Company apparently attempted to disenfranchise you and your fellow stockholders by refusing to accept NexPoint’s validly delivered nomination of competing directors. ▪ The Board and the Company continue to mislead and harm stockholders by continuing to leave our nominees off the ballot. ▪ We have commenced litigation to protect stockholder rights and freedom of choice. 15 Q: A :

I agree with NexPoint, what should I do? ▪ To protect your interest and preserve the value of your investment in the Company, NexPoint urges you to vote on the BLUE proxy card: ▪ Vote AGAINST the TICC Management Advisory Agreement; ▪ Vote FOR electing NexPoint’s competing slate of director nominees; and ▪ Vote AGAINST the Company’s proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting in the event that a quorum is present and the Company’s proposals did not receive sufficient votes for approval. 16 Q: A :

Can you tell me more about the Board’s conduct ? ▪ On August 11, 2015, NexPoint submitted a proposal to the Board that offered the Company and its stockholders significant economic savings compared to the BSP proposal. ▪ Despite NexPoint’s stated desire to discuss the terms of its proposal with the Board, the Board failed to have any discussions with NexPoint on the proposal terms. ▪ Without request from the Board, NexPoint unilaterally enhanced its proposal on September 1, 2015; the Board still refused to engage meaningfully with NexPoint . ▪ Without even meeting with NexPoint in person or by telephone, or engaging in any dialogue with NexPoint regarding the terms of its proposal, the Board rejected NexPoint’s proposal on September 3, 2015. ▪ While the Board used NexPoint’s proposal to extract certain concessions from BSP, its failure to enter into any negotiations with NexPoint whatsoever indicates to NexPoint that the Board’s interests are inappropriately aligned with TICC Management and that the Board therefore approved the arrangement with TICC Management without fully considering the interest of the Company or its stockholders. - The Board initially recommended the BSP transaction where 100% of the related consideration (which we believe to be at least $60 million and initially as high as $132 million prior to our involvement) would be paid to the existing management team rather than the Company’s stockholders ; ▪ On September 11, 2015, the Secretary of the Company apparently attempted to disenfranchise you and your fellow stockholders by refusing to accept NexPoint’s validly delivered nomination of directors . ▪ October 5, 2015, the Company falsely informed stockholders that our director nominees were ineligible and that voting for our slate would be “wasting their votes” under what we believe is a meritless interpretation of Maryland law. 17 Q: A :

What is NexPoint’s proposal? ▪ Perpetual 1.25% annual base management fee. ▪ An additional waiver of the first $20 million of management fees. ▪ An investment of at least $20 million in the Company’s common stock in open market transactions in the first 12 months following appointment. ▪ Supportive of tender offer or share repurchase program of between $50 million and $100 million. ▪ Preservation of the current investment strategy given this is the strategy selected by the Company’s stockholders. ▪ NexPoint remains flexible to adjust strategy as independent Directors/stockholders desire. ▪ Implementation of stockholder loyalty program where NexPoint will provide an additional 2% investment incentive to stockholders that invest through the program and hold the related shares for at least a year. 18 Q: A :

Why is NexPoint’s proposal Superior? 19 Q: A : 1 Based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015. Assumes 14% annual return.

Why does NexPoint believe the BSP transaction is designed to enrich management? ▪ According to at least one industry analyst, this arrangement could generate estimated payments of $60 million to the Company’s current adviser, TICC Management (an amount we believe was initially as high as $132 million prior to our involvement). 20 Q: A :

Can you tell me more about NexPoint and its qualifications? ▪ NexPoint, together with its affiliates, currently manages approximately $ 20 billion in net assets and believes that its core competencies are squarely within the Company's investment strategy . ▪ NexPoint is affiliated with Highland Capital Management, L.P. ("Highland "), which together with its affiliates, is one of the world's most experienced alternative credit managers , tested by numerous credit cycles, specializing in credit strategies, such as a broad range of leveraged loans, high yield bonds, direct lending, public and private equities and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). ▪ Highland also offers alternative investment - oriented strategies, including asset allocation, long/short equities, real estate and natural resources. ▪ Over the past two decades, Highland has been a pioneer in developing the loan and CLO markets. In 1996, Highland launched its first CLO, the first non - bank issued asset backed security structure with syndicated bank loans as the underlying asset. ▪ Highland is now one of the largest U.S. CLO managers by assets under management and has structured and managed over $32 billion of CLO and other securitizations since 1996. A pproximately 60% of Highland’s $22 billion of assets under management are in CLO strategies . ▪ Today, Highland manages an extensive suite of over 18 registered 1940 Act funds comprising approximately $6 billion of aggregate assets under management . 21 Q: A :

Are there any alternative proposals on which I can vote? ▪ No, as discussed in the next Q&A . 22 Q: A :

What about the proposal from TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (“TSLX ”)? ▪ TSLX submitted only a preliminary, highly conditional non - binding all - stock offer, which “ does not constitute or create any commitment, undertaking or other binding obligation” and is “based solely on publicly available information .*” ▪ TSLX presented no path forward on how it would implement its preliminary, non - binding offer (other than continued discussions with the Board) and has failed to present a proposal for approval at the Special Meeting. ▪ On the other hand, to allow the Company to start implementing NexPoint’s proposals and fee concessions, all stockholders need to do is elect NexPoint’s nominees . 23 Q: A : *TPG Specialty Lending press release issued on September 16, 2015.

Why is NexPoint’s proposal superior to the TSLX proposal? 24 Q: A : NexPoint’s Proposal Saves Stockholders Between $55 to $64 Million in Fees Over the TSLX Proposal Over the Next 10 Years 1 TSLX NexPoint Advantage Ability to Vote on Director Slate at Upcoming Meeting No Yes NexPoint Preservation of Current Strategy, if Desired by Stockholders No Yes NexPoint $20 million Management Fee Waiver No Yes NexPoint Management Fee (% of Gross Assets) 1.5% 1.25% NexPoint Incentive and Other Fees 1 (% of Gross Assets) 0.4% 0.3% NexPoint Open - Market Investment $0 million $20 million NexPoint Implementation of Stockholder Loyalty Plan No Yes NexPoint Supportive of Tender Offer or Share Repurchase between $50 million and $100 million Never Utilized 2 Yes Same 1 Based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015. Assumes 14% annual return. For further details on calculation and assumption s, please refer to “TSLX’s Incentive and Administrative Fee Structure” on page 55. 2 As of March 31, 2015.

Should I hold out for a better offer from TSLX? 25 Q: A : ▪ No. The Board has provided no indication they are willing to pursue TSLX’s non - binding proposal and, even assuming the TSLX proposal was an available alternative, NexPoint strongly believes its proposal is superior for the following reasons: ▪ TSLX’s proposal would result in a change in investment strategy and destruction of the company’s distribution rate. ▪ Stockholders would bear between $55 and $64 million of higher fees under the TSLX proposal. 1 ▪ TSLX’s share for share proposal cements a sale at an ~13% discount to book value. 2 ▪ NexPoint’s deep knowledge of the syndicated loan and CLO markets positions us best to manage the Company’s portfolio. ▪ NexPoint plans to implement its industry - leading Stockholder Loyalty Program. ▪ In our view holding out creates a worst of all worlds situation where incumbent management remains entrenched to the extended detriment of stockholders. ▪ We view past as prologue and therefore view it extremely unlikely that the current TICC Board will ever support the TSLX proposal. 1 For further details on calculation and assumptions, please refer to “TSLX’s Incentive and Administrative Fee Structure” on pa ge 55. 2 Based on the Company’s AUM as of June 30, 2015. As of September 3, 2015 this would represent a 20% premium of share price.

Can you tell me more about Nexpoint’s industry - leading loyalty program? ▪ Under this program, NexPoint plans to provide an effective 2% gross - up of the contributions of stockholders that invest through the plan administrator and hold the related shares for at least one year. ▪ NexPoint believes that this program is effective in promoting long term stockholder loyalty and will help reduce the discount applicable to the Company’s current Share price. ▪ The plan administrator purchases the applicable shares in open market purchases when the Company’s shares are trading at a discount. 26 Q: A :

Why shouldn’t TICC delay the meeting and seek alternatives such as engaging an investment banker to analyze strategic alternatives? ▪ The Board has already shown, in our view, that they put TICC Management’s interests ahead of stockholders. ▪ Delaying the vote leaves the current management and board in place and risks further value destruction . ▪ We view past as prologue and therefore view it extremely unlikely that the current TICC Board will ever act in the best interest of stockholders. ▪ NexPoint’s proposals create significant immediate and long term value for stockholders. 27 Q: A :

If elected, how will your nominees implement your management proposal? ▪ Both the Board and the Company’s stockholders are required to approve an investment advisory agreement between the Company and NexPoint. ▪ Stockholders are not being asked at the Special Meeting to approve an investment advisory agreement with NexPoint. ▪ If elected, NexPoint believes its director nominees will promptly work to maximize value for stockholders and, subject to their duties as directors, negotiate an investment advisory agreement with NexPoint so that NexPoint could become the Company’s investment adviser. 28 Q: A :

Disclosures and Disclaimers TSLX’s Incentive and Administrative Fee Structure . In addition to higher management fees, under TSLX’s incentive fee and administrative fee structure, stockholders would bear an additional approximately $ 10 - 14 million of incentive and administrative fees over the next 10 years beyond those under NexPoint’s proposal (estimated based on a 9 % - 20 % annual return and existing annual administrative expense reimbursements as a percentage of assets under management) . If the Company’s annual return were 8 % , 9 % , 14 % or 20 % , these estimated savings would be approximately $ 6 . 2 million, $ 10 million, $ 12 . 2 million or $ 13 . 7 million, respectively, each over 10 years . The estimated additional annual cost of administrative expense reimbursements under TSLX’s structure was calculated by determining the ratio of TSLX’s administrative expense reimbursements over the past 12 months to TSLX’s AUM as of June 30 , 2015 and applying that percentage to the Company’s AUM as of June 30 , 2015 . The Company’s actual administrative expense reimbursements over the past 12 months was then deducted from that amount to arrive at an estimate of the additional annual administrative expense reimbursements that would apply under the TSLX structure . That annual amount was then used to estimate such additional administrative expense reimbursements over the next 10 years . If the Company’s annual return over this period were less than 8 % - 20 % , these estimated savings would be lower . 55
