GREENWICH, CT – 8/07/2007 – Technology Investment Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.36 per share for the third quarter of 2007.

The dividend is payable as follows:

 

   

Payable Date: September 28, 2007

   

Record Date: September 7, 2007

In addition, TICC announced today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded net investment income of approximately $7.0 million, or approximately $0.35 per share, net unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $6.8 million and a net realized gain on investments of approximately $237,000. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.02 per share for the second quarter.

 

   

Total investment income for the second quarter amounted to approximately $10.7 million, of which approximately $9.7 million was interest income and approximately $1.0 million was fee income.

 

   

We recorded unrealized depreciation on our debt investments in GenuTec Business Solutions, Inc. ($4.4 million) and Falcon Communications, Inc. ($1.0 million), and our residual equity investment in TrueYou.com ($1.3 million), based primarily upon the operating performance and financial condition of these companies. Assuming no additional return on the remaining equity portion of our TrueYou.com investment, the internal rate of return on our original investment was approximately 14.3%. We had no other complete exits during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The total weighted average internal rate of return on all TICC exited investments as of June 30, 2007 was approximately 14.5%.

 

   

Investment originations for the second quarter amounted to approximately $50.8 million, and consisted of 3 investments in new portfolio companies and additional debt investments in existing portfolio companies. The major investments were as follows:

 

   

$10.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by PrePak Systems, Inc., a contract packaging organization that repackages bulk pharmaceuticals into bottles, blister packs and individually packaged doses for government mail outpatient pharmacies and hospitals, commercial hospitals, nursing homes, and direct pharmacy clients, with a commitment of an additional $1.5 million in senior notes as PrePak achieves certain milestones.

 

   

$13.5 million investment in senior secured notes issued by Box Services, LLC, a provider of digital imaging services, with a commitment of an additional $1.4 million in senior notes as Box Services achieves certain milestones.

 

   

$11.0 million investment in senior secured notes with warrants in Pulvermedia Inc., which operates and produces technology related tradeshow and conference events.

 

   

$15.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by American Integration Technologies, LLC, an existing portfolio company.

 

   

At June 30, 2007, the weighted average yield of our debt investments (excluding cash equivalents and assuming no interest income on the investment placed on non-accrual status) was approximately 11.8%.

 

   

Expenses for the quarter were approximately $3.7 million, including interest expense of approximately $1.2 million, reflecting outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

 

   

At June 30, 2007 approximately $72.0 million was outstanding under our credit facility. As of August 6, 2007 approximately $49.0 was outstanding under the facility.

 

   

On June 27, 2007, we amended our existing revolving credit facility, increasing it from $150 million to $180 million with Royal Bank of Canada as an agent and lender, and Branch Banking and Trust Company and Commerzbank A.G. as additional lenders.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

   

On July 13, 2007, we closed on a public offering of 1,437,500 shares of common stock (including the underwriter’s over-allotment option), resulting in approximately $21.6 million in net proceeds which was used to repay indebtedness owed under our current revolving credit facility.


We will host a conference call to discuss our first quarter results today, Tuesday, August 7th at 10:00 AM EDT. Please call 877-407-8031 to participate. A replay of the conference call will be available for approximately 30 days. The replay number is 877-660-6853, the account number is 286 and the access code is 250872.

(1) Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon average shares outstanding.
(2) Includes rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share.
(3) For tax purposes, we expect that dividends for the six months of 2007 will be funded from undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains from 2006, as well as net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year.
(4) Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming dividend reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized.
(5) Annualized.
