On April 9, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TCG BDC, Inc. (the “Company”), including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), approved the application to the Company of the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Company will be reduced from 200% to 150%, effective as of April 9, 2019 unless approved earlier by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, in which case the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio will be effective on the day after such approval. The Board also authorized the submission of a proposal for stockholders to approve the application of the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio to the Company at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
