TICC Renews Credit Facility, Maintains Interest Rate Spread

Greenwich, CT – 2/05/2008 – TICC Capital Corp. (the “Company”)(NASDAQ: TICC) announced today that it has amended its existing revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), extending the termination date from April 11, 2008 to January 29, 2009. Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) remains agent under the Facility and each of RBC and Branch Banking & Trust Company remain a lender with a commitment of $75,000,000, for a total commitment of $150,000,000 (which is a reduction from $180,000,000 as a result of the removal of Commerzbank AG as a lender). The Company has not historically utilized an amount of the Facility exceeding $150,000,000. Under the terms of the amended Facility, drawdowns will continue to bear interest on the same terms as the previous arrangement, which is generally 1.75% over LIBOR.

“In view of the recent dislocations in the global credit markets, we are very pleased that our two primary lenders renewed the credit facility and were able to maintain the interest rate spread we have historically enjoyed,” said Jonathan Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
