NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (“TSLX”; NYSE:TSLX), a specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies, today issued a letter to TICC Capital Corp.

TSLX presents a timeline outlining how TICC insiders accumulated shares of TICC between May 5 and June 27, 2016, amid an unprecedented departure from TICC’s traditional annual meeting schedule.

The letter also urges stockholders to protect their investment in TICC by signing and returning the GOLD proxy card voting FOR the termination of the investment advisory agreement between TICC and its external adviser and the election of TSLX’s highly-qualified and independent nominee, T. Kelley Millet, to TICC’s Board of Directors at TICC’s 2016 Annual Meeting, scheduled for September 2, 2016.

TSLX’s proxy materials are also available through the SEC’s website and at www.changeTICCnow.com.

Amid these unprecedented delays, TICC insiders bought more than 1.8 million
