Exhibit 99.1

TICC Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2007 and Dividend of $0.36 per Share

Net Investment Income Up 9.4% Over Third-Quarter 2006

GREENWICH, CT – 11/07/2007 – Technology Investment Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.36 per share for the fourth quarter of 2007.

The dividend is payable as follows:

 

   

Payable Date: December 31, 2007

 

   

Record Date: December 10, 2007

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

HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded total investment income of approximately $11.0 million, compared to approximately $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2006.

 

   

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $31.6 million of total investment income and $20.3 million of net investment income compared to $24.5 million of total investment income and $17.7 million of net investment income for the same period in 2006, an increase of approximately 29.0% and 14.5%, respectively.

 

   

Net investment income for the third quarter of 2007 was approximately $6.7 million or $0.32 per share, up 9.4% from the same quarter in 2006. However, as a result of unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $11.9 million, we had a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.24 per share for the third quarter of 2007.

 

   

We recorded unrealized depreciation on our debt investments in Falcon Communications, Inc. ($7.0 million) and GenuTec Business Solutions, Inc. ($4.0 million), based primarily upon the operating performance and financial condition of these companies. Our debt investment in Falcon was placed on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2007. GenuTec has been on non-accrual since March 31, 2007.

 

   

Investment originations for the third quarter amounted to approximately $66.8 million, and consisted of 6 investments in new portfolio companies and additional debt investments in 2 existing portfolio companies. The significant investments were as follows:

 

   

$8.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by Hyland Software, Inc.

 

   

$15.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by WAICCS Las Vegas, LLC.

 

   

$10.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by Empire Scaffold, LLC. In connection with this investment, we also committed to invest in an additional $3.0 million in senior notes as Empire Scaffold achieves certain milestones.

 

   

$11.3 million investment in senior secured notes issued by Intergraph Corporation.

 

   

$10.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by Integra Telecomm, Inc.

 

   

$8.5 million additional investment in senior secured notes issued by Segovia, Inc., an existing portfolio company.

 

   

At September 30, 2007, the weighted average yield of our debt investments (excluding cash equivalents and assuming no interest income on the investments placed on non-accrual status) was approximately 11.6%.

 

   

Expenses for the quarter were approximately $4.3 million, including approximately $1.9 million in investment advisory fees and approximately $1.7 million in interest expense, reflecting outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

 

   

At September 30, 2007 approximately $138.5 million was outstanding under our credit facility.

 

   

As of November 6, 2007, we had approximately $146.5 million outstanding under our credit facility.

 

   

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.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

   

On October 1, 2007, we announced that we intend to change our name to TICC Capital Corp. Once the name change becomes effective, we will no longer maintain a policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of our net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in technology-related companies. The name change is expected to become effective on or about December 3, 2007.

 

   

On October 15, 2007, we completed a $15.0 million investment in senior secured notes issued by GXS Worldwide, Inc.

 

   

On October 25, 2007, we completed a $7.2 million investment in senior unsecured notes issued by an existing portfolio company. At the same time, our $3 million equity investment in this company was repurchased, resulting in a realized capital gain of approximately $627,000.

 

   

On October 25, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.36 per share for the fourth quarter, payable on December 31, 2007 to shareholders of record as of December 10, 2007.

We will host a conference call to discuss our third quarter results today, Wednesday, November 7th at 10:00 AM EST. 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 260374.

(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 2007 will be funded from undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains from 2006, as well as net investment income and realized capital gains. 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. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of September 30, 2007, approximately $0.03 per share of the Company’s distributions would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders.
(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.
