TICC ISSUES PRESENTATION OUTLINING KEY ISSUES WITH TPG BDC’S SELF-SERVING PROPOSAL

GREENWICH, CT – October 7, 2015 – TICC Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) (the "Company," "TICC," "we," or "our") today issued a presentation entitled “Clear Choice: TICC’s Agreement with BSP is Far Superior to TPG BDC’s Self-Serving Proposal,” to provide the Company’s institutional stockholders with additional detail around the risks the proposal from TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (“TSLX” or “TPG BDC”) poses to their TICC investment.

Key issues highlighted include:

· TPG BDC’s proposal would enrich TPG and benefit TPG and TPG BDC's shareholders - not TICC stockholders

o TPG BDC’s proposal would create ~$30 million¹ of revenue / profit per annum for TPG

o Current TPG BDC shareholders would experience ~7% net asset value (“NAV”) accretion by acquiring TICC at a discount to NAV

· TPG BDC’s offer and value of its consideration is highly uncertain

o Market price premium offer is illusory given non-cash consideration in the form of TPG BDC shares

o TPG BDC stock is expensive relative to current dividend levels – trading at a valuation multiple of 36% above the industry median but generating a de minimis dividend-to-NAV of 3% above the industry

· TPG BDC’s discounted offer would cause real harm to TICC stockholders

o TPG BDC’s $7.50 offer is a 13% discount to TICC’s NAV of $8.60² per share – they want to pay TICC stockholders $0.87 for $1.00; the offer will result in IMMEDIATE & PERMANENT dilution of ~15% to stockholder’s NAV

o TICC stockholders will experience a significant reduction in annual per share distributions – from $1.16 stockholders currently receive to $0.67³, a 42% decrease
