TICC Announces Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

GREENWICH, CT – 8/11/2008 – TICC Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.20 per share for the third quarter of 2008.

HIGHLIGHTS

• For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we recorded net investment income of approximately $5.8 million, or approximately $0.25 per share, net realized capital gains on investments of approximately $933,000 and net unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $955,000. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.25 per share for the second quarter.

• Total investment income for the second quarter amounted to approximately $10.1 million, of which approximately $9.8 million was interest income and approximately $300,000 was fee income.

• During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we had realized capital gains of approximately $1.6 million due to the repayment on our debt and sale of our equity investment in Aviel Services, Inc. This gain was partially offset by realized losses associated with the sale of several of our other debt investments of approximately $700,000.

• We recorded unrealized depreciation on our investments largely due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation on our debt and equity investment in Aviel Services, Inc. upon the repayment and sale, respectively, of those investments; this was partially offset by the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation on several of our other debt investments upon the sale of those investments.

• Our Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.20 per share for the third quarter of 2008

• Payable Date: September 30, 2008

• Record Date: September 10, 2008

• Over the past year, the credit markets have gone through dramatic changes. Since the end of the first quarter, and in the absence of having received a written offer for extension of our credit facility from our existing lenders, we have taken steps to reduce our borrowings under our credit facility, and effective August 6, 2008 we have reduced the size of the facility from $150 million to $55 million. On a risk-adjusted basis, we believe that until leverage can be obtained at appropriate pricing and terms with a longer maturity that more closely matches the maturity of our investments, we are better served by de-levering the portfolio. As a result of de-levering our portfolio, our net investment income is now and will likely continue to be less than it might otherwise be on a more fully levered portfolio. However, we believe it is more prudent to remove the uncertainty of continued credit availability on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Until such time as we can obtain financing on terms which are cost-effective and which more closely approximates the maturity of our borrowings with the average maturity of our investments, we believe that de-levering the portfolio is the appropriate course of action. We also note that, largely as a result of this de-levering, our Board has determined to adjust the third quarter dividend to a level more consistent with that idea.

• For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 we had repayments of $18.9 million largely consisting of repayments by Aviel Services, Inc. of $14.5 million. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we received approximately $32.0 million from the sale of portfolio securities, largely resulting from the sale of our investments in Intergraph Corporation ($14.2 million), Integra Telecomm, Inc. ($7.7 million) and Iridium Satellite LLC ($7.4 million).

• At June 30, 2008, 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 10.3%.

• Expenses for the quarter were approximately $5.8 million, including approximately $1.3 million in interest expense, reflecting outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, and approximately $1.9 million in investment advisory fees.

• At June 30, 2008, approximately $70.0 million was outstanding under our credit facility. As of August 8, 2008, approximately $55.0 million was outstanding under the facility.

• On May 23, 2008 we issued to our stockholders of record as of May 23, 2008 transferable rights to subscribe for up to 4,339,226 shares of our common stock. Record date stockholders received one right for each outstanding share of common stock owned on the record date. The rights offering, which was oversubscribed, resulted in the issuance of approximately 4.3 million shares of TICC common stock on June 18, 2008. The net proceeds after payment of dealer-manager fees and after other offering-related expenses were approximately $20.9 million. Subsequently, we used the net proceeds received in this offering to repay indebtedness owed under our credit facility.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

• On July 31, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.20 per share for the third quarter, payable on September 30, 2008 to shareholders of record as of September 10, 2008.

• Pursuant to our request and in accordance with the terms of our credit facility, the amount under our credit facility was reduced from $150 million to $55 million, effective August 6, 2008.

⁽¹⁾ Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon average shares outstanding.

⁽²⁾ Net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) include rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share.

⁽³⁾ Dividends for the second quarter of 2008 were funded from net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2008. 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 a fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of June 30, 2008, approximately $0.12 per share of the Company’s distributions for the six-month period, 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.
