Dear Valued Stockholder: Due to the lack of shareholder participation, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (“TCPC”) originally scheduled for May 23, 2024, was adjourned to June 12, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time with regard to Proposal 2. You are receiving this REMINDER notice because you held shares in TCPC on the record date and we have not received your vote. Copies of the proxy materials can be found online at https://www.proxy-direct.com/blk-33801.

As a reminder, Proposal 2 is the same proposal that has been submitted for shareholder approval every year since TCPC went public. In addition, the leading independent proxy advisory firms, ISS & Glass Lewis, have both recommended voting “FOR” Proposal 2. Please vote your shares via the internet or by telephone as soon as possible or alternatively, please sign, date, and return the enclosed voting instruction form (see the instructions below).
