Consolidated Schedule of Investments

September 30, 2023

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

These investments are generally subject to certain limitations on resale and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.

(2)All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity and warrant investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Equipment financed under our equipment financing investments relates to operational equipment essential to revenue production for the portfolio company in the industry noted.

(3)Investment date represents the date of initial investment date, either purchases or funding, not adjusted for modifications. For assets purchased from the Legacy Funds as part of the Formation Transactions (both terms as defined in “Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation”), the investment date is January 16, 2020, the date of the Formation Transactions.

(4)Interest rate is the fixed or variable rate of the debt investments and does not include any original issue discount, end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or additional fees related to such investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees, prepayment fees or exit fees. EOT payments are contractual payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed rate determined at the inception of the loan. At the end of the term of certain equipment financings, the borrower has the option to purchase the underlying assets at fair value, generally subject to a cap, or return the equipment and pay a restocking fee. The fair values of the financed assets have been estimated as a percentage of original cost for purpose of the EOT payment value. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the term of the loan or equipment financing prior to its payment and is included as a component of the cost basis of the Company’s current debt securities.

(5)Principal is net of repayments, if any, as per the terms of the debt instrument’s contract.

(6)Except as noted, all investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) using Level 3 inputs.

(7)Asset is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's Board using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.

(8)The interest rate on variable interest rate investments represents a benchmark rate plus spread. The benchmark interest rate is subject to an interest rate floor. The Prime rate was 8.5%, the 1-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was 5.43% and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) 30 Day Forward Rate was 5.32% as of September 30, 2023.

(1)All portfolio companies are located in North America or Europe. As of December 31, 2022, Trinity Capital Inc. (the “Company”) had six foreign domiciled portfolio companies, four of which are based in Canada and two of which are based in Europe. In total, these foreign domiciled portfolio investments represent 17.3% of total net asset value based on fair value. The Company generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

These investments are generally subject to certain limitations on resale and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.

(2)All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity and warrant investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Equipment financed under our equipment financing investments relates to operational equipment essential to revenue production for the portfolio company in the industry noted.

(3)Investment date represents the date of initial investment date, either purchases or funding, not adjusted for modifications. For assets purchased from the Legacy Funds as part of the Formation Transactions (both terms as defined in “Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation”), the investment date is January 16, 2020, the date of the Formation Transactions.

(4)Interest rate is the fixed or variable rate of the debt investments and does not include any original issue discount, end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or additional fees related to such investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees, prepayment fees or exit fees. EOT payments are contractual payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed rate determined at the inception of the loan. At the end of the term of certain equipment financings, the borrower has the option to purchase the underlying assets at fair value, generally subject to a cap, or return the equipment and pay a restocking fee. The fair values of the financed assets have been estimated as a percentage of original cost for purpose of the EOT payment value. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the term of the loan or equipment financing prior to its payment and is included as a component of the cost basis of the Company’s current debt securities.

(5)Principal is net of repayments, if any, as per the terms of the debt instrument’s contract.

(6)Except as noted, all investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) using Level 3 inputs.

(7)Where appropriate, certain current year industry classifications may have been revised to more precisely reflect the business of the Company's investments.

(8)The interest rate on variable interest rate investments represents a benchmark rate plus spread. The benchmark interest rate is subject to an interest rate floor. The Prime rate was 7.50%, the 1-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was 4.40% and SOFR 30 Day Forward Rate was 4.12% as of December 31, 2022.

(9)Asset is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's Board using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.

(10)Indicates a “non-qualifying asset” under section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s percentage of non-qualifying assets at fair value represents 7.1% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2022. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. Asset is not a U.S. entity.

(11)Investment has zero cost basis as it was purchased at a fair value of zero as part of the Formation Transactions (as defined in “Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation”).

(12)Investment is a secured loan warehouse facility collateralized by interest in specific assets that meet the eligibility requirements under the facility during the warehouse period. Repayment of the facility will occur over the amortizing period unless otherwise prepaid.

(13)Company has been issued warrants with pricing and number of shares dependent upon a future round of equity issuance by the portfolio company.

(14)Investment is not pledged as collateral supporting amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility with KeyBank, National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”). See “Note 5 – Borrowings” for more information.

(15)Interest on this loan includes a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.

(16)Convertible notes represent investments through which the Company will participate in future equity rounds at preferential rates. There are no principal or interest payments made against the note unless conversion does not occur.

(17)Preferred stock represents investments through which the Company will have preference in liquidation rights and do not contain any cumulative preferred dividends.

(18)Investment is on non-accrual status as of December, 31, 2022, and is therefore considered non-income producing.

(19)All of the Company’s debt securities are pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the credit facility with KeyBank (see “Note 5 – Borrowings”), except as noted.

(20)Currently, the Company in the process of negotiating new terms with the portfolio company after the portfolio company defaulted on the payments expected to be received on September 1, 2022.

(21)This investment is deemed to be a “Control Investment” or an “Affiliate Investment.” The Company classifies its investment portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act defines Control Investments as investments in companies in which the Company owns beneficially, either directly or indirectly more than 25% of the voting securities, or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation. Affiliate Investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns beneficially, either directly or indirectly, between 5% and 25% (inclusive) of the voting securities and does not have rights to maintain greater than 50% of the board representation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Trinity Capital Inc. (“Trinity Capital” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a specialty lending company focused on providing debt, including loans and equipment financings, to growth-stage companies, including venture-backed companies and companies with institutional equity investors. Trinity Capital was formed on August 12, 2019 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on January 16, 2020. Prior to January 16, 2020, Trinity Capital had no operations, except for matters relating to its formation and organization as a business development company (“BDC”).

Trinity Capital is an internally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Trinity Capital has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

On September 27, 2019, Trinity Capital was initially capitalized by the issuance of 10 shares of its common stock for $150 to its sole stockholder.

On January 16, 2020, the Company completed a private equity offering (the “Private Common Stock Offering”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to which it issued and sold 8,333,333 shares of its common stock for total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $125.0 million, inclusive of an over-allotment option that was exercised in full on January 29, 2020.

Concurrent with the closing of the Private Common Stock Offering, the Company completed a private debt offering (the “144A Note Offering” and together with the Private Common Stock Offering, the “Private Offerings”) of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its unsecured 7.00% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), inclusive of an over-allotment option that was exercised in full on January 29, 2020.

On January 16, 2020, Trinity Capital completed a series of transactions, the Private Offerings, and the acquisition of Trinity Capital Investment, LLC, Trinity Capital Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), Trinity Capital Fund III, L.P., Trinity Capital Fund IV, L.P., and Trinity Sidecar Income Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Legacy Funds”) through mergers of the Legacy Funds with and into Trinity Capital as well as Trinity Capital’s acquisition of Trinity Capital Holdings, LLC (“Trinity Capital Holdings”) (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”).

Trinity Capital’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2021, under the symbol “TRIN” in connection with its initial public offering of shares of its common stock (“IPO”).

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period included herein. The current period’s consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2023. As an investment company, the Company follows accounting and reporting guidance determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

56

Principles of Consolidation

Under ASC 946, the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s investment portfolio is carried on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, as discussed further in “Note 3 - Investments,” with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s consolidated operations include the activities of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trinity Funding 1, LLC (“TF1”), and TrinCap Funding, LLC (“TCF”). TF1 was formed on August 14, 2019, as a Delaware limited liability company with Fund II as its sole equity member. On January 16, 2020, in connection with the Formation Transactions, Trinity Capital acquired TF1 through Fund II and became a party to, and assumed, a $300 million credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG (the “Credit Suisse Credit Facility”) through TF1 which matured on January 8, 2022 in accordance with its terms. TCF was formed on August 5, 2021, as a Delaware limited liability company with Trinity Capital as its sole equity member for purposes of securing lending in conjunction with a $350 million credit agreement, as amended, with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) (such credit facility, the “KeyBank Credit Facility”). TF1 and TCF are special purpose bankruptcy-remote entities and are separate legal entities from Trinity Capital. Any assets conveyed to TF1 or TCF are not available to creditors of the Company or any other entity other than TF1's or TCF’s respective lenders. TF1 and TCF are consolidated for financial reporting purposes and in accordance with GAAP, and the portfolio investments held by these subsidiaries, if any, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and recorded at fair value. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As part of the Formation Transactions, Trinity Capital acquired 100% of the equity interests of Trinity Capital Holdings. There has been no activity in Trinity Capital Holdings since acquisition.

In accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, as amended, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries, if any, are considered “significant subsidiaries.” In evaluating these unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries, there are two significance tests utilized per Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X to determine if any of the Company’s investments or unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries are considered significant: the investment test and the income test. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the Company’s investments or unconsolidated controlled subsidiaries met either of these two significance tests.

Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by a specialty credit manager (collectively, the “JV Partner”) to co-manage Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC (“Senior Credit Corp 2022” or the “JV”). The JV may invest in secured loans and equipment financings to growth-stage companies that have been originated by the Company. The Company and the JV Partner’s initial capital commitments were $21.4 million and $150.0 million, respectively, in the form of 8.5% notes and preferred equity to the JV. The JV is capitalized as investment transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other actions in respect of the JV must be approved by a board of managers of the JV consisting of an equal number of representatives of the Company and the JV Partner. Capital contributions are called from each JV member on a pro-rata basis based on their total capital commitments, with 70% of each such capital contribution invested in the JV’s 8.5% notes and the remaining 30% invested in the JV's preferred equity. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's and the JV Partner's ownership of the JV was 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively.

The Company has agreed to offer the JV the opportunity to purchase up to 40% in dollar amount, but not less than 25% in dollar amount, of the entire amount of each secured loan and equipment financing advance originated by the Company during the period commencing on September 1, 2022 and ending on June 5, 2026. The JV is required to pay the Company a fee equal to 100 basis points of the total principal amount of each loan or equipment financing advance acquired by the JV from the Company, with 50% of the fee for each such particular loan or advance payable by the JV to the Company within two business days of the date of such acquisition or advance and the remaining 50% payable in equal monthly installments over 24 months following the date of such acquisition or

57

advance. In addition, the JV shall pay the Company an administrative agent fee equal to 75 basis points of the daily average aggregate value of the JV's outstanding loans and equipment financings.

As permitted under Regulation S-X and consistent with the guidance in ASC 946-810-45-3, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. As the Company’s representatives do not comprise the majority of the board of managers of the JV and the Company does not hold a majority of the economic interests in the JV, the Company does not consolidate the JV in its financial statements.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company contributed $2.0 million and $10.7 million of capital to the JV, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's investment in the JV consisted of a debt investment of $7.5 million and an equity investment of $3.2 million. The Company did not fund an investment in the JV as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's unfunded commitment was $10.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, the JV's total investment portfolio on a fair value basis was $133.6 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $31.3 million and $122.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of investments to the JV, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company earned approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million for originations and administrative agent fees which are recognized as fee income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in unsettled receivables due from the JV that were included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There were no outstanding receivables from the JV as of December 31, 2022.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Investment Transactions

Loan originations are recorded on the date of the legally binding commitment. Realized gains or losses are recorded using the specific identification method as the difference between the net proceeds received, excluding prepayment fees, if any, and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments written off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment fair values as of the last business day of the reporting period and also includes the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

Valuation of Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded.

The Company’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC 946 and measured in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that each of the portfolio investments is sold in a

58

hypothetical transaction in the principal or, as applicable, most advantageous market using market participant assumptions as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. The Company values its investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to a consistent valuation policy by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.

The SEC recently adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), which establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. As adopted, Rule 2a-5 permits boards of directors to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The SEC also adopted Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”), which provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. While the Company's Board has not elected to designate a valuation designee, the Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.

While the Board is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the Company has engaged independent valuation firms, on a discretionary basis, to provide the Company with valuation assistance with respect to its investments. Specifically, on a quarterly basis, the Company identifies portfolio investments with respect to which an independent valuation firm assists in valuing such investments. The Company selects these portfolio investments based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the potential for material fluctuations in valuation results, size, credit quality and the time lapse since the last valuation of the portfolio investment by an independent valuation firm.

Investments recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 — Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include investments in active exchange-traded equity securities and investments in most U.S. government and agency securities).

Level 2 — Investments whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investment.

Level 3 — Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (for example, investments in illiquid securities issued by privately held companies). These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment.

Given the nature of lending to venture capital-backed growth-stage companies, 99.5%, based on fair value, of the Company’s investments in these portfolio companies are considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market index for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. The Company uses an internally developed portfolio investment rating system in connection with its investment oversight, portfolio management and analysis, and investment valuation procedures. This system takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors of the portfolio companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

Debt Securities

The debt securities identified on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments are secured loans and equipment financings made to growth-stage companies. For portfolio investments in debt securities for which the Company has determined that third-party quotes or other independent pricing are not available, the Company generally estimates

59

the fair value based on the assumptions that hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using an income approach.

In its application of the income approach to determine the fair value of debt securities, the Company bases its assessment of fair value on projections of the discounted future free cash flows that the security will likely generate, including analyzing the discounted cash flows of interest and principal amounts for the security, as set forth in the associated loan and equipment financing agreements, as well as market yields and the financial position and credit risk of the portfolio company (the “Hypothetical Market Yield Method”). The discount rate applied to the future cash flows of the security is based on the calibrated yield implied by the terms of the Company’s investment adjusted for changes in market yields and performance of the subject company. The Company’s estimate of the expected repayment date of its loans and equipment financings securities is either the maturity date of the instrument or the anticipated pre-payment date, depending on the facts and circumstances. The Hypothetical Market Yield Method also considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance, market yield movements, and other factors. If there is deterioration in credit quality or if a security is in workout status, the Company may consider other factors in determining the fair value of the security, including, but not limited to, the value attributable to the security from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would most likely be received in a liquidation analysis.

Equity Securities and Warrants

Often the Company is issued warrants by issuers as yield enhancements. These warrants are recorded as assets at estimated fair value on the grant date. The Company determines the cost basis of the warrants or other equity securities received based upon their respective fair values on the date of receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and warrants or other equity securities received. Depending on the facts and circumstances, the Company generally utilizes a combination of one or several forms of the market approach and contingent claim analyses (a form of option analysis) to estimate the fair value of the securities as of the measurement date and determines the cost basis using a relative fair value methodology. As part of its application of the market approach, the Company estimates the enterprise value of a portfolio company utilizing customary pricing multiples, based on the development stage of the underlying issuers, or other appropriate valuation methods, such as considering recent transactions in the equity securities of the portfolio company or third-party valuations that are assessed to be indicative of fair value of the respective portfolio company. If appropriate, based on the facts and circumstances, the Company performs an allocation of the enterprise value to the equity securities utilizing a contingent claim analysis and/or other waterfall calculation by which it allocates the enterprise value across the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another.

Fair value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, investments, receivables, payables, and other liabilities, approximate the fair values of such items due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Refer to “Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further discussion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of funds deposited with financial institutions and short-term (original maturity of three months or less) liquid investments in money market deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the money market fund. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents consisted of $7.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of which $6.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund. Cash held in demand deposit accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit and therefore is subject to credit risk. All of the Company’s cash deposits are held at large, established, high credit quality financial institutions, and management believes that the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balances is remote. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any restricted cash.

60

Other Assets

Other assets generally consist of fixed assets net of accumulated depreciation, leasehold improvements net of accumulated depreciation, right of use assets, prepaid expenses, escrow receivables and security deposits.

Escrow Receivables

Escrow receivables are collected in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement. Escrow balances are typically distributed over a period of one year and may accrue interest during the escrow period. Escrow balances are measured for collectability on at least a quarterly basis and fair value is determined based on the amount of the estimated recoverable balances and the contractual maturity date. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no material past due escrow receivables. The escrow receivable balance as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 totaled $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and was measured at fair value and held in accordance with ASC 820.

Equity Offering Costs

Equity offering costs consist of fees and costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Equity offering costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active.

Security Deposits

Security deposits are collected upon funding equipment financings and are applied in lieu of regular payments at the end of the term.

Debt Financing Costs

The Company records costs related to the issuance of debt obligations as deferred debt financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity life of the obligations. Debt financing costs related to secured or unsecured notes are netted with the outstanding principal balance on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt financing costs related to the KeyBank Credit Facility are recorded as a separate asset on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Recognition

Interest and Dividend Income

The Company recognizes interest income on an accrual basis and recognizes it as earned in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount (“OID”) initially includes the estimated fair value of detachable warrants obtained in conjunction with the origination of debt securities and is accreted into interest income over the term of the loan as a yield enhancement based on the effective yield method. In addition, the Company may also be entitled to an end-of-term (“EOT”) payment. EOT payments to be paid at the termination of the debt agreements are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the debt based on the effective yield method. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the EOT payments receivable of approximately $61.8 million and $59.9 million, respectively, was included as a component of the cost basis of the Company’s current debt securities. When a portfolio company pre-pays their indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity date, the acceleration of the unaccreted OID and EOT payment is recognized as interest income.

The Company has a limited number of debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company will generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or management does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and

61

interest due. The Company recorded $2.1 million and $5.4 million in PIK interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and no PIK interest income was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income related to application or origination payments, including facility commitment fees, net of related expenses and generally collected in advance, is amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company recognizes nonrecurring fees and additional OID and EOT payment received in consideration for contract modifications commencing in the quarter relating to the specific modification.

The Company records dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at such other time that an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. The Company recorded $0.1 million in dividend income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and no dividend income was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Fee and Other Income

The Company recognizes one-time fee income, including, but not limited to, structuring fees, prepayment penalties, and exit fees related to a change in ownership of the portfolio company, as other income when earned. These fees are generally earned when the portfolio company enters into an equipment financing arrangement or pays off their outstanding indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity. In addition, fee income may include fees for originations and administrative agent services rendered by the Company to the JV. Such fees are earned in the period that the services are rendered.

Non-Accrual Policy

When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, or if management otherwise does not expect that principal, interest, and other obligations due will be collected in full, the Company will generally place the debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until all principal and interest due has been paid or the Company believes the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Any uncollected interest is reversed from income in the period that collection of the interest receivable is determined to be doubtful. However, the Company may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

As of September 30, 2023, loans to two portfolio companies and equipment financings to two portfolio companies were on non-accrual status, with a total cost of approximately $42.5 million, and a total fair value of approximately $28.0 million, or 2.6% of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2022, loans to two portfolio companies and equipment financings to two portfolio companies were on non-accrual status, with a total cost of approximately $49.2 million, and a total fair value of approximately $17.8 million, or 1.7% of the fair value of the Company’s debt investment portfolio.

Net Realized Gains / (Losses)

Realized gains / (losses) are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment or a financial instrument and the cost basis of the investment or financial instrument, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written off during the period net of recoveries and realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions. Net proceeds exclude any prepayment penalties, exit fees, and OID and EOT acceleration. Prepayment penalties and exit fees received at the time of sale or redemption are included in fee income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. OID and EOT acceleration is included in interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

62

Net Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation)

Net change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) reflects the net change in the fair value of the investment portfolio and financial instruments and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation on exited investments and financial instruments to realized gains or losses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has issued and may, from time to time, issue restricted stock to its officers and employees under the 2019 Trinity Capital Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan and to its non-employee directors under the Trinity Capital Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, the Company measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of its common stock on the date of the grant and amortizes the fair value of the awards as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term.

The Company has also adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on stock-based payment awards) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and not delay recognition of a tax benefit until the tax benefit is realized through a reduction to taxes payable. Accordingly, the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Earnings Per Share

The Company's earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the unvested shares of restricted stock awarded pursuant to Trinity Capital’s equity compensation plans are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the basic earnings per share calculation. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming all potential shares had been issued and the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Diluted EPS, if any, reflects the potential dilution from the assumed conversion of the Company’s 6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”).

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal tax purposes. In order to maintain its treatment as a RIC, the Company is generally required to distribute at least annually to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (which generally includes its net ordinary taxable income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt income (if any). The Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on these distributed amounts but will pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on any retained amounts.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), as modified by ASC 946. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, or uncertain tax positions, would be recorded as tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. All the Company’s tax returns remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

63

Based on federal excise distribution requirements applicable to RICs, the Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed taxable income and gains unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income or gain realized, but not distributed, in the preceding years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company and on which the Company paid corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company, at its discretion, may determine to carry forward taxable income or gain and pay a 4% excise tax on the amount by which it falls short of this calendar-year distribution requirement. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income and capital gains as required on an annual basis.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount of taxable income to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders.

Note 3. Investments

The Company provides debt, including loans and equipment financings, to growth-stage companies, including venture capital-backed companies and companies with institutional equity investors, primarily in the United States. The Company’s investment strategy includes making investments consisting primarily of term loans and equipment financings, and, to a lesser extent, working capital loans, equity, and equity-related investments. In addition, the Company may obtain warrants or contingent exit fees at funding from many of its portfolio companies.

Debt Securities

The Company’s debt securities primarily consist of direct investments in interest-bearing secured loans and equipment financings to privately held companies based in the United States (collectively “Debt”). Secured loans are generally secured by a blanket first lien or a blanket second lien on the assets of the portfolio company. Equipment financings typically include a specific asset lien on mission-critical assets as well as a second lien on the assets of the portfolio company. These debt securities typically have a term of between three and five years from the original investment date. Certain of the debt securities are “covenant-lite” loans, which generally are loans that do not have a complete set of financial maintenance covenants and have covenants that are incurrence-based, meaning they are only tested and can only be breached following an affirmative action of the borrower rather than by a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. The equipment financings in the investment portfolio generally have fixed interest rates. The secured loans in the investment portfolio generally have floating interest rates subject to interest rate floors. Both equipment financings and secured loans generally include an EOT payment.

The specific terms of each debt security vary depending on the creditworthiness of the portfolio company and the projected value of the financed assets. Companies with stronger creditworthiness may receive an initial period of lower financing factor, which is analogous to an interest-only period on a traditional term loan. Equipment financings may include upfront interim payments and security deposits. Equipment financing arrangements have various structural protections, including customary default penalties, information and reporting rights, material adverse change or investor abandonment provisions, consent rights for any additions or changes to senior debt, and, as needed, intercreditor agreements with cross-default provisions to protect the Company’s second lien positions.

Warrant Investments

In connection with the Company’s debt investments, the Company may receive warrants in the portfolio company. Warrants received in connection with a debt investment typically include a potentially discounted contract

64

price to exercise, and thus, as a portfolio company appreciates in value, the Company may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. The warrants typically contain provisions that protect the Company as a minority-interest holder, as well as secured or unsecured put rights, or rights to sell such securities back to the portfolio company, upon the occurrence of specified events. In certain cases, the Company may also obtain follow-up rights in connection with these equity interests, which allow the Company to participate in future financing rounds.

Equity Investments

In specific circumstances, the Company may seek to make direct equity investments in situations where it is appropriate to align the interests of the Company with key management and stockholders of the portfolio company, and to allow for participation in the appreciation in the equity values of the portfolio company. These equity investments are generally made in connection with debt investments. The Company seeks to maintain fully diluted equity positions in its portfolio companies of 5% to 50% and may have controlling equity interests in some instances.

Portfolio Composition

The Company’s portfolio investments are in companies conducting business in a variety of industries. The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s portfolio investments by industry at cost and fair value and as a percentage of the total portfolio as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Certain Risk Factors

In the ordinary course of business, the Company manages a variety of risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company identifies, measures and monitors risk through various control mechanisms, including investment limits and diversifying exposures and activities across a variety of instruments, markets and counterparties.

Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of financial instruments because of changes in market conditions, including as a result of changes in the credit quality of a particular issuer, credit spreads, interest rates, and other movements and volatility in security prices or commodities. In particular, the Company may invest in issuers that are experiencing or have experienced financial or business difficulties (including difficulties resulting from the initiation or prospect of significant litigation or bankruptcy proceedings), which involves significant risks. The Company manages its exposure to market risk through the use of risk management strategies and various analytical monitoring techniques.

66

The Company’s investments are generally comprised of securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.

The Company’s investments consist of growth-stage companies, many of which have relatively limited operating histories and may experience variation in operating results. Many of these companies conduct business in regulated industries and could be affected by changes in government regulations. Most of the Company’s borrowers will need additional capital to satisfy their continuing working capital needs and other requirements, and in many instances, to service the interest and principal payments on the debt.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s portfolio investments consisted primarily of investments in secured loans and equipment financings. The fair value amounts have been measured as of the reporting date and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to that date. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the reporting date may be different than amounts reported.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its investments based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized within the Level 3 tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The fair value determination of each portfolio investment categorized as Level 3 requires one or more of the following unobservable inputs:

•Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers;

•Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company;

•Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;

•Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment;

•Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and net debt/EBITDA ratio) applicable to the investment;

•Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio);

•Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;

•Projected operating results of the portfolio company;

•Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment;

•Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed;

67

•Changes in the economic environment, which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;

•Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company;

•Qualitative assessment of key management;

•Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment; and

•Time to exit.

The use of significant unobservable inputs creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments, are (i) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and revenue multiples (both projected and historic), and (ii) volatility assumptions. Significant increases (decreases) in EBITDA and revenue multiple inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Similarly, significant increases (decreases) in volatility inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value assessment. Conversely, significant increases (decreases) in weighted average cost of capital inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. However, due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the tables below.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value by investment type on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

(1)The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). The hypothetical market yield is defined as the exit price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity and warrant securities are revenue multiples and portfolio company specific adjustment factors. Additional inputs used in the option pricing model (“OPM”) include industry volatility, risk free interest rate and estimated time to exit. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. For some investments, additional consideration may be given to data from the last round of financing, merger or acquisition events near the measurement date.

2025 Notes

Concurrent with the completion of the Private Common Stock Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company completed its offering of $105.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the unsecured 2025 Notes in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the “144A Note Offering”. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), as the initial purchaser, exercised in full its option to purchase or place additional 2025 Notes and, on January 29, 2020, the Company issued and sold an additional $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. As a result, the Company issued and sold a total of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the 144A Note Offering.

Concurrent with the closing of the 144A Note Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the purchasers of the 2025 Notes in the 144A Note Offering. Pursuant to the terms of this registration rights agreement, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement, which was initially declared effective on October 20, 2020, registering the public resale of the 2025 Notes by the holders thereof that elected to include their 2025 Notes in such registration statement.

The 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of January 16, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (together with its successor in interest, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, the “Trustee”), and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 16, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “2025 Notes Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The 2025 Notes mature on January 16, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), unless repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2025 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, at the Company’s option, on or after January 16, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The holders of the 2025 Notes do not have the option to have the notes repaid or repurchased by the Company prior to the Maturity Date.

On July 22, 2022, the Company issued $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes in an additional issuance of such 2025 Notes. On July 27, 2022, the underwriters exercised, in full, their option to purchase from the Company an additional $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes solely to cover over-allotments in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025

On December 11, 2020, the Company completed a private offering (the “Private Convertible Note Offering”) of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its unsecured Convertible Notes in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. KBW acted as the initial purchaser and placement agent in connection with the Private Convertible Note Offering pursuant to a purchase/placement agreement dated December 4, 2020, by and between the Company and KBW.

The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to the Base Indenture and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Concurrent with the closing of the Convertible Note Offering, on December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the holders of the Convertible Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. Aggregate offering costs in connection with the Convertible Note Offering, including the initial purchaser and placement agent discount and commissions, were approximately $1.9 million, which were capitalized and deferred.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.00% per year, subject to additional interest upon certain events, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2021. If an investment grade rating is not maintained with respect to the Convertible Notes, additional interest of 0.75% per annum will accrue on the Convertible Notes until such time as the Convertible Notes have received an investment grade rating of “BBB-” (or its equivalent) or better. The rating remained at investment grade as of September 30, 2023. The Convertible Notes mature on December 11, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes, at their option, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Convertible Notes Maturity Date. The conversion rate was initially 66.6667 shares of the Company’s common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.00 per share of common stock). Effective immediately after the close of business on September 29, 2023, the conversion rate changed to 75.9145 shares of the Company’s common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $13.17 per share of common stock) as a result of a certain cash dividend of the Company. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events, further described in the Convertible Note Indenture, that occur prior to the Convertible Notes Maturity Date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equal to the then existing conversion rate.

At the Company’s option, it may cause holders to convert all or a portion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Convertible Notes Maturity Date, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for any 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 120% of the conversion price, as may be adjusted. Upon such conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common

78

stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equal to the then existing conversion rate, and a forced conversion make-whole payment (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture), if any, in cash.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes at its option prior to maturity. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of such holders’ Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Convertible Notes are direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu, or equal in right of payment, with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness or other obligations that are not so subordinated, including, without limitation, the 2025 Notes, and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness or other obligations that are expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt Instruments with Conversion and Other Options. In accounting for the Convertible Notes, the Company estimated at the time of issuance that the values of the debt and the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes were approximately 99.1% and 0.9%, respectively. The original issue discount of 0.9%, or approximately $0.5 million, attributable to the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes was recorded in “capital in excess of par value” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

In January 2021, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) (“ASU 2020-06”), under which the accounting for convertible instruments was simplified by removing the separate accounting for embedded conversion features. As such, approximately $0.5 million was reversed out of net assets and reduced the original issue discount for the Convertible Notes.

The components of the carrying value of the Convertible Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Principal amount of debt	$	50,000		$	50,000

Original issue discount, net of accretion		(576	)		(773	)
Carrying value of Convertible Notes	$	48,597		$	48,118

The weighted average outstanding balance and the weighted average effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $50.0 million and 7.3%, respectively. The components of interest expense and related fees for the Convertible Notes were as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the KeyBank Credit Agreement, the 2025 Notes Indenture, the August 2026 Notes Indenture, the December 2026 Notes Indenture and the Convertible Notes Indenture.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded Commitments

The Company’s commitments and contingencies consist primarily of unused commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or equipment financings to the Company’s portfolio companies. A portion of these unfunded contractual commitments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are generally dependent upon the portfolio company reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available. Furthermore, the Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow the Company relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook of the Company. Since a portion of these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded contractual commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As such, the Company’s disclosure of unfunded contractual commitments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes only those commitments that are available at the request of the portfolio company and are unencumbered by milestones or additional lending provisions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unfunded commitments of $10.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively, which represented the Company's uncalled capital to the JV.

The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet financings or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The Company will fund its unfunded commitments, if any, from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (which are typically through existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under its KeyBank Credit Facility) and maintains adequate liquidity to fund its unfunded commitments through these sources.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of representations and warranties, and general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company; however, based on the Company’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Leases

ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”) requires that a lessee evaluate its leases to determine whether they should be classified as operating or finance leases. The Company identified two significant operating leases for its headquarters in Phoenix, AZ and office space in San, Diego, CA. The lease for the Company's Phoenix, AZ (“PHX”) headquarters commenced on July 10, 2021, and expires on December 31, 2028. The PHX lease contains two five-year extension options which, if exercised, would result in a final expiration date of December 31, 2038. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining lease term for the PHX office was 5.3 years. The lease for the San Diego office commenced March 10, 2023, and expires on January 1, 2026. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining lease term for the San Diego office was 2.3 years.

The total lease expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the right of use assets related to the office operating leases were $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and the lease liabilities were $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The discount rates determined at the commencement of the PHX and San Diego leases were 3.75% and 7.64%, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2023, there are no material legal matters or material litigation pending of which the Company is aware.

Note 7. Stockholders' Equity

The Company authorized 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. On September 27, 2019, the Company was initially capitalized by the issuance of 10 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $150 to its sole stockholder.

Private Common Stock Offerings

On January 16, 2020, the Company completed the Private Common Stock Offering in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. As a result, the Company issued and sold a total of 7,000,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $105.0 million. The related over-allotment option was exercised in full on January 29, 2020, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an additional 1,333,333 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. As a result, the Company issued and sold a total of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Private Common Stock Offering for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $114.4 million, net of offering costs of approximately $10.6 million.

Concurrent with the closing of the Private Common Stock Offering, on January 16, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the purchasers of shares of its common stock in such offering and the certain of the investors in the Legacy Funds (the “Legacy Investors”) that received shares of its common stock in connection with the Formation Transactions that were not the Company’s directors, officers and affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of this registration rights agreement, the Company no longer has any registration obligations with respect to such shares because (i) such shares may be sold by any such stockholder in a single transaction without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a period of at least 90 days and is current in the filing of all such required reports and (iii) such shares have been listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Formation Transactions

On January 16, 2020, immediately following the initial closings of the Private Offerings, the Company used the proceeds from the Private Offerings to complete the Formation Transactions, pursuant to which the Company acquired the Legacy Funds and Trinity Capital Holdings. In consideration for the Legacy Funds, the Company issued 9,183,185 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share for a total value of approximately $137.7 million and paid approximately $108.7 million in cash to certain of the Legacy Investors. As consideration for all of the equity

81

interests in Trinity Capital Holdings, the Company issued 533,332 shares of its common stock at $15.00 per share for a total value of approximately $8.0 million and paid approximately $2.0 million in cash.

Initial Public Offering

On February 2, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering of 8,006,291 shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2021, under the symbol “TRIN.” Proceeds from this offering were primarily used to pay down a portion of the Company's existing indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Suisse Credit Facility.

ATM Program

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an open market sale agreement with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent and/or principal thereunder, pursuant to which the Company can issue and sell, from time to time, up to $50.0 million in aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock by any method permitted by law and deemed to be part of an “at-the-market” offering (as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act) (the “ATM Program”). The Company generally uses net proceeds from the ATM Program to make investments in accordance with its investment objective and investment strategy and for general corporate purposes.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued and sold 863,970 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $14.55 per share and raised $12.3 million of net proceeds after deducting commissions to the sales agent on shares sold under the ATM Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued and sold 1,886,279 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $14.06 per share and raised $26.0 million of net proceeds after deducting commissions to the sales agent on shares sold under the ATM Program.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued and sold 176,148 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $16.56 per share and raised $2.9 million of net proceeds after deducting commissions to the sales agent on shares sold under the ATM Program.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 14, 2022, the Company's Board authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $25.0 million of the Company's common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that the Company complies with the prohibitions under its Rule 38a-1 Compliance Manual and Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act, as amended. Unless amended or extended by the Company's Board, the Company expects the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of November 11, 2023, or until $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase outstanding common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 91,691 shares of its outstanding common stock at a weighted average price of $10.91. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 185,722 shares of its outstanding common stock at a weighted average price of $10.77.

All repurchased shares were immediately canceled and thus Trinity Capital holds no treasury stock. Under the Repurchase Program, as of September 30, 2023, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase up to an additional $22.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company’s amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) provides for the reinvestment of distributions in the form of common stock on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive distributions in cash. As a result, if the Company declares a cash distribution, its stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the opt out date will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested into additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The share requirements of the DRIP may be satisfied through the issuance of common shares or through open market purchases of common shares by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of the Company’s common stock on the valuation date determined for each distribution by the Board.

The Company’s DRIP is administered by its transfer agent on behalf of the Company’s record holders and participating brokerage firms. Brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries may decide not to participate in the Company’s DRIP but may provide a similar distribution reinvestment plan for their clients. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 38,887 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $0.6 million under the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 136,727 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $1.8 million under the DRIP.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 187,923 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $3.0 million under the DRIP.

Note 8. Equity Incentive Plans

2019 Long Term Incentive Plan

The Company’s Board adopted and approved the 2019 Trinity Capital Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Long Term Incentive Plan”) on October 17, 2019 and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan on June 17, 2021 at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan becoming effective on June 17, 2021. Under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, awards of restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options (together with incentive stock options, “Options”) may be granted to certain of the Company’s executive officers, employee directors and other employees (collectively, the “Employee Participants”) in accordance with the SEC exemptive order the Company received on May 27, 2021 (the “SEC Exemptive Order”). While the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan contemplates grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, Options, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards and other stock-based awards to the Employee Participants, the Company only sought and received exemptive relief from the SEC pursuant to the SEC Exemptive Order to grant awards of restricted stock and Options. As a result, the Company will only grant awards of such securities under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Employee Participants will have the right to receive dividends on such awarded restricted stock, unless and until the restricted stock is forfeited.

Subject to certain adjustments under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan is 3,600,000 shares. The 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan. The 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date it was initially adopted by the Board, unless terminated sooner by action of the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable.

For additional information regarding the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2021, and the Company’s definitive proxy statement

filed with the SEC on April 27, 2023. The following table summarizes issuances, vesting, and retirement of shares under the plan as well as the fair value of granted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands).

These costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

2019 Restricted Stock Plan

The Company’s Board adopted and approved the Trinity Capital Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2019 Restricted Stock Plan”) on October 17, 2019 and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan on June 17, 2021 at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan became effective on June 17, 2021 and provides for grants of restricted stock awards (“Non-Employee Director Awards”) to the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Non-Employee Director Participants”), which are directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) in accordance with the SEC Exemptive Order. The Non-Employee Director Participants will have the right to receive dividends on such awarded restricted stock, unless and until the restricted stock is forfeited.

Subject to certain adjustments under the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to Non-Employee Director Awards is 60,000 shares. The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee, subject to the discretion of the Board. The 2019 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date it was approved by the Company’s stockholders, unless terminated sooner by action of the Board.

For additional information regarding the 2019 Restricted Stock Plan, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2021, and the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 27, 2023.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands except shares and per share information):

	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022			September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Earnings per common share - basic
Numerator for basic earnings per share	$	16,821	$	(12,000	)	$	59,189	$	(28,786	)
Denominator for basic weighted average shares		40,119,009		33,098,332			37,091,030		30,506,292
Earnings/(Loss) per common share - basic	$	0.42	$	(0.36	)	$	1.60	$	(0.94	)
Earnings per common share - diluted
Numerator for increase in net assets per share		16,821		(12,000	)		59,189		(28,786	)
Adjustment for interest expense and deferred financing costs on Convertible Notes(1)		910		—			2,729		—
Numerator for diluted earnings per share		17,731		(12,000	)		61,918		(28,786	)
Denominator for basic weighted average shares		40,119,009		33,098,332			37,091,030		30,506,292
Adjustment for dilutive effect of Convertible Notes(1)		3,731,025		—			3,731,025		—
Denominator for diluted weighted average shares		43,850,034		33,098,332			40,822,055		30,506,292
Earnings/(Loss) per common share - diluted	$	0.40	$	(0.36	)	$	1.52	$	(0.94	)

(1)No adjustments for interest or incremental shares were included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, because the effect would be antidilutive.

In certain circumstances at the Company's election, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, which can be dilutive to common stockholders. Diluted earnings (loss) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period included any additional shares of common stock that would be issued if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised. In accordance with ASU 2020-06, the Company is required to disclose diluted EPS using the if-converted method that assumes conversion of convertible securities at the beginning of the reporting period and is intended to show the maximum dilution effect to common stockholders regardless of how the conversion can occur.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal tax purposes. In order to maintain its treatment as a RIC, the Company is generally required to distribute at least annually to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (which generally includes its net ordinary taxable income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt income (if any). The Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on these distributed amounts, but will pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on any retained amounts.

The amount of taxable income to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the annual earnings estimated by management of the Company. Net capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to

86

do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. In the event the Company’s taxable income (including any net capital gains) for a fiscal year falls below the amount of distributions declared and paid with respect to that year, however, a portion of the total amount of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their appropriate tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

The following table sets forth the tax cost basis and the estimated aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation from investments for federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Tax Cost of Investments (1)		1,161,049	$	1,166,744

	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Unrealized appreciation	$	31,102		$	27,223
Unrealized depreciation		(68,369	)		(88,970	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments	$	(37,267	)	$	(61,747	)

(1)Includes cost of short-term investments, including cash and cash equivalents.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The ASU 2020-04 provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company adopted the guidance during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). This change prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied prospectively.

Overview

We are a specialty lending company providing debt, including loans and equipment financings, to growth-stage companies, including venture capital-backed companies and companies with institutional equity investors. We are an internally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a BDC and a RIC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through our investments. We seek to achieve our investment objective by making investments consisting primarily of term loans and equipment financings and, to a lesser extent, working capital loans, equity and equity-related investments. In addition, we may obtain warrants or contingent exit fees at funding from many of our portfolio companies, providing an additional potential source of investment returns. We generally are required to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets in accordance with the 1940 Act but may invest up to 30% of our total assets in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the 1940 Act.

We target investments in growth-stage companies, which are typically private companies, including venture-backed companies and companies with institutional equity investors. We define “growth-stage companies” as companies that have significant ownership and active participation by sponsors, such as institutional investors or private equity firms, and expected annual revenues of up to $100.0 million. Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we are not limited to investing in any particular industry or geographic area and seek to invest in under-financed segments of the private credit markets.

Our loans and equipment financings may have initial interest-only periods of up to 24 months and generally fully amortize over a total term of up to 60 months. These investments are typically secured by a blanket first position lien, a specific asset lien on mission-critical assets and/or a blanket second position lien. We may also make a limited number of direct equity and equity-related investments in conjunction with our debt investments. We target growth-stage companies that have recently issued equity to raise cash to offset potential cash flow needs related to projected growth, have achieved positive cash flow to cover debt service, or have institutional investors committed to providing additional funding. A loan or equipment financing may be structured to tie the amortization of the loan or equipment financing to the portfolio company’s projected cash balances while cash is still available for operations. As such, the loan or equipment financing may have a reduced risk of default. We believe that the amortizing nature of our investments will mitigate risk and significantly reduce the risk of our investments over a relatively short period. We focus on protecting and recovering principal in each investment and structure our investments to provide downside protection.

Our History

Trinity Capital Inc. was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 12, 2019 and commenced operations on January 16, 2020. Prior to January 16, 2020, we had no operations, except for matters relating to our formation and organization as a BDC.

On January 16, 2020, through a series of transactions (the “Formation Transactions”), we acquired Trinity Capital Investment, LLC, Trinity Capital Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), Trinity Capital Fund III, L.P., Trinity Capital Fund IV, L.P. and Trinity Sidecar Income Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Legacy Funds”) and all of their respective assets (the “Legacy Assets”), including their respective investment portfolios (the “Legacy Portfolio”), as well as Trinity Capital Holdings, LLC (“Trinity Capital Holdings”), a holding company whose subsidiaries managed and/or had the right to receive fees from certain of the Legacy Funds. In order to complete these transactions, we used a portion of the proceeds from our private equity offering and private debt offering that occurred on January 16, 2020 (the “Private Offerings”).

The Legacy Funds were merged with and into the Company, and we issued 9,183,185 shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $137.7 million and paid approximately $108.7 million in cash to the Legacy Funds' investors, which included the general partners, managers or managing members of the Legacy Funds (the “Legacy Investors”), to acquire the Legacy Funds and all of their respective assets, including the Legacy Portfolio. Our senior management team, led by Steven L. Brown, comprises the majority of the senior management team that managed the Legacy Funds and sourced the Legacy Portfolio.

As part of the Formation Transactions, we also acquired 100% of the equity interests of Trinity Capital Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million, which was comprised of 533,332 shares of our common stock, totaling approximately $8.0 million, and approximately $2.0 million in cash. In connection with the acquisition of such equity interests, the Company also assumed a $3.5 million severance related liability with respect to a former member of certain general partners of certain Legacy Funds. In connection with the acquisition of Trinity Capital Holdings, approximately $13.5 million (consisting of the aggregate purchase price and severance related liability assumed) was expensed to Costs related to the acquisition of Trinity Capital Holdings and Legacy Funds in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the Formation Transactions, Trinity Capital Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On February 2, 2021, we completed our initial public offering of 8,006,291 shares of our common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full. Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2021 under the symbol “TRIN.” Proceeds from this offering were primarily used to pay down a portion of our existing indebtedness outstanding.

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by a specialty credit manager (collectively, the “JV Partner”) to co-manage Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC (f.k.a. Trinity Investor JV I LLC) (“Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC” or the “JV”). The JV invests in secured loans and equipment financings to growth-stage companies that have been originated by the Company. To achieve these goals, the Company has agreed to offer the JV the opportunity to purchase up to 40% in dollar amount, but not less than 25% in dollar amount, of the entire amount of each secured loan and equipment financing advance originated by the Company during the period commencing on September 1, 2022 and ending on June 5, 2026.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company follows accounting and reporting guidance as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

93

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. Valuation of investments, income recognition, realized / unrealized gains or losses and U.S. federal income taxes are considered to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For additional information, please refer to “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Valuation of Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC 946 and measured in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value, and provides disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that each of the portfolio investments is sold in a hypothetical transaction in the principal or, as applicable, most advantageous market using market participant assumptions as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. The Company values its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.

The SEC recently adopted new Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), which establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. As adopted, Rule 2a-5 permits boards of directors to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”), which provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. While the Company's Board has not elected to designate a valuation designee, the Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.

While the Board is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the Company has engaged independent valuation firms to provide the Company with valuation assistance with respect to its investments. The Company engages independent valuation firms on a discretionary basis. Specifically, on a quarterly basis, the Company identifies portfolio investments with respect to which an independent valuation firm assists in valuing certain investments. The Company selects these portfolio investments based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the potential for material fluctuations in valuation results, size, credit quality and the time lapse since the last valuation of the portfolio investment by an independent valuation firm.

Investments recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 — Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include investments in active exchange-traded equity securities and investments in most U.S. government and agency securities).

Level 2 — Investments whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investment.

Level 3 — Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (for example, investments in illiquid securities issued by privately held companies). These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment.

94

Given the nature of lending to venture capital-backed growth-stage companies, substantially all of the Company’s investments in these portfolio companies are considered Level 3 assets under ASC 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indexes for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company uses an internally developed portfolio investment rating system in connection with its investment oversight, portfolio management and analysis and investment valuation procedures. This system takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors of the portfolio companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

Fair value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, investments, receivables, payables and other liabilities approximate the fair values of such items due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Income Recognition

Interest and Dividend Income

The Company recognizes interest income on an accrual basis and recognizes it as earned in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount (“OID”) initially includes the estimated fair value of detachable warrants obtained in conjunction with the origination of debt securities, and is accreted into interest income over the term of the loan as a yield enhancement based on the effective yield method. Interest income from payment-in-kind (“PIK”) represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.

In addition, the Company may also be entitled to an end-of-term (“EOT”) payment. EOT payments related to debt investments to be paid at the termination of the financing arrangements are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the debt based on the effective yield method. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had EOT payments receivable of approximately $61.8 million and $59.9 million, respectively, which is included as a component of the cost basis of the Company’s current debt securities. When a portfolio company pre-pays their indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity date, the acceleration of the unaccreted OID and EOT is recognized as interest income.

Income related to application or origination payments, including facility commitment fees, net of related expenses and generally collected in advance, are accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company recognizes nonrecurring fees and additional OID and EOT received in consideration for contract modifications commencing in the quarter relating to the specific modification.

The Company records dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at such other time that an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. The Company recorded $0.1 million in dividend income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and no dividend income was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Fee and Other Income

The Company recognizes one-time fee income, including, but not limited to, structuring fees, prepayment penalties, and exit fees related to a change in ownership of the portfolio company, as other income when earned. These fees are generally earned when the portfolio company enters into an equipment financing arrangement or pays off their outstanding indebtedness prior to the scheduled maturity. In addition, fee income may include fees for originations and administrative agent services rendered by the Company to the JV. Such fees are earned in the period that the services are rendered.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of default or non-performance by portfolio companies, equivalent to the investment’s carrying amount. Industry and sector concentrations will vary from period to period based on portfolio activity.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 27.9% and 31.7%, respectively, of the total fair value of the Company’s investments in portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 7 and 16 portfolio companies, respectively, that represented 5% or more of the Company’s net assets.

Investment Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we invested approximately $204.9 million in 12 new portfolio companies, and approximately $171.0 million in 22 existing portfolio companies, excluding deferred fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received an aggregate of $363.0 million in proceeds from

97

repayments and sales of our investments, including proceeds of approximately $259.8 million from early repayments on our debt investments and sales of debt investments.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we invested approximately $381.1 million in 34 new portfolio companies and approximately $250.1 million in 32 existing portfolio companies, excluding deferred fees. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received an aggregate of approximately $336.6 million in proceeds from repayments of our debt investments, including proceeds of approximately $149.8 million from early repayments on our debt investments.

The level of our investment activity can vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt, including loans and equipment financings, and equity capital required by growth-stage companies, the general economic environment and market conditions and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

Portfolio Asset Quality

Our portfolio management team uses an ongoing investment risk rating system to characterize and monitor our outstanding loans and equipment financings. Our portfolio management team monitors and, when appropriate, recommends changes to the investment risk ratings. Our investment committee reviews the recommendations and/or changes to the investment risk ratings, which are submitted on a quarterly basis to the Board and its audit committee.

98

For our investment risk rating system, we review seven different criteria and, based on our review of such criteria, we assign a risk rating on a scale of 1 to 5, as set forth in the following illustration.

 

The following table shows the distribution of our loan and equipment financing investments on the 1 to 5 investment risk rating scale range at fair value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

		September 30, 2023					December 31, 2022
Investment Risk Rating		Investments at		Percentage of			Investments at		Percentage of

Total Debt Investments		$	1,063,841		100.0	%	$	1,048,829		100.0	%

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our debt investments had a weighted average risk rating score of 2.8 and 2.8, respectively.

Debt Investments on Non-Accrual Status

When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, or if our management otherwise does not expect that principal, interest, and other obligations due will be collected in full, we will generally place the debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until all principal and interest due has been paid or we believe the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Any uncollected interest is reversed from income in the period that collection of the interest receivable is determined to be doubtful. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations encompasses our consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Investment Income

The following table sets forth the components of investment income (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Stated interest income	$	36,181	$	28,323	$	105,935	$	73,678
Amortization of OID and EOT		4,539		6,241		12,423		17,228
Acceleration of OID and EOT		2,140		2,590		6,226		7,165
PIK interest income		2,069		—		5,405		—

Total investment income	$	46,438	$	38,689	$	134,021	$	103,992

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, total investment income was approximately $46.4 million and $134.0 million, respectively, which represents an approximate effective yield of 16.7% and 15.9%, respectively, on the average investments during the periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, total investment income was approximately $38.7 million and $104.0 million, respectively, which represents an approximate effective yield of 15.2% and 15.0%, respectively, on the average investments during the periods. The increase in investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is due to higher interest income and amortization of OID and EOT based on an increased principal value of income producing debt investments and higher stated interest rates.

Operating Expenses and Excise Taxes

Our operating expenses are comprised of interest and fees on our borrowings, employee compensation, excise taxes, professional fees and general and administrative expenses. Our operating expenses totaled approximately $23.0 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $69.2 million and $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is discussed with respect to each component of such expenses below.

Interest Expense and Other Debt Financing Costs

Our interest expense and other debt financing costs are primarily comprised of interest and fees related to our secured borrowings, the 7.00% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), the 4.375% Notes due 2026 (the “August 2026 Notes”), the 4.25% Notes due 2026 (the “December 2026 Notes”), and the 6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”). Interest expense and other debt financing costs on our borrowings totaled approximately $10.8 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, $33.9 million and $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our weighted average effective interest rate, comprised of interest and amortization of fees and discount, was approximately 7.3% and

100

6.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 7.2% and 6.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to increased borrowings and increased interest rate under our credit facility with KeyBank, National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”).

Employee Compensation and Benefits

Employee compensation and benefits totaled approximately $8.7 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $24.7 million and $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in employee compensation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 relates primarily to the increased variable compensation related to a higher headcount and stock-based compensation. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had 63 and 56 employees, respectively.

Excise Taxes

We accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income and gain as required on an annual basis. Our excise taxes totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Professional Fees Expenses

Professional fees expenses, consisting of legal fees, accounting fees, third-party valuation fees, talent acquisition fees and other consulting fees, totaled approximately $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.1 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in professional fees expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted primarily from increased legal fees, third-party valuation fees, and other consulting fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include insurance premiums, rent, and various other expenses related to our ongoing operations. Our general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.7 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to additional office rent and related expenses.

Net Investment Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $46.4 million and $38.7 million in total investment income as compared to approximately $23.0 million and $20.1 million in total expenses, including excise tax expense, resulting in net investment income of $23.4 million and $18.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $134.0 million and $104.0 million in total investment income as compared to approximately $69.2 million and $54.0 million in total expenses including excise tax expense, resulting in net investment income of $64.8 million and $50.0 million, respectively.

Net Realized Gains and Losses

Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or redemption of an investment or a financial instrument and the cost basis of the investment or financial instrument, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments written off during the period.

101

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our gross realized gains primarily consisted of the repayment of one loan, one equipment financing, and one warrant, and our gross realized losses primarily consisted of the exit of our debt, equipment financing and equity positions in four portfolio companies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our gross realized gains primarily consisted of the sale of our equity positions in two portfolio companies, and our gross realized losses primarily consisted of the sale of our debt positions in two portfolio companies.

The net realized gains (losses) from the sales, repayments, or exits of investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2023				September 30, 2022				September 30, 2023				September 30, 2022

Total net realized gains/(losses) on investments	$		(1,868	)	$		(602	)	$		(28,844	)	$		42,425

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation) from Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments primarily reflects the net change in the fair value of the investment portfolio and financial instruments and the reclassification of any prior period unrealized appreciation or depreciation on exited investments and financial instruments to realized gains or losses.

Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023			September 30, 2022			September 30, 2023			September 30, 2022
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	12,889		$	9,651		$	25,217		$	21,208
Gross unrealized depreciation		(21,699	)		(40,675	)		(34,529	)		(79,336	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) reclassified related to net realized gains or losses		4,093			996			32,511			(63,038	)
Total net unrealized gains/(losses) on investments	$	(4,717	)	$	(30,028	)	$	23,199		$	(121,166	)

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net unrealized depreciation totaled approximately $4.7 million, which included net unrealized appreciation of $0.6 million from our warrant and equity investments and net unrealized depreciation of $5.3 million from our debt investments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net unrealized appreciation totaled approximately $23.2 million, which included net unrealized appreciation of $7.4 million from our warrant and equity investments and net unrealized appreciation of $15.8 million from our debt investments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $30.0 million, which was from net unrealized depreciation of $12.2 million from our warrant and equity investments, and $17.8 million from our debt investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net unrealized depreciation of $121.2 million, which included net unrealized depreciation of $94.9 million from our warrant and equity investments, and $26.3 million from our debt investments.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2023, totaled approximately $16.8 million. Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $12.0 million. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, totaled approximately $59.2 million. Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $28.8 million.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations and Earnings Per Share

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, basic net increase in net assets per common share was $0.42 and diluted net increase in net assets per common share was $0.40. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, basic net increase in net assets per common share was $1.60 and diluted net increase in net assets per common share was $1.52.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, basic and diluted net decrease in net assets per common share were $0.36. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, basic and fully diluted net decrease in net assets per common share were $0.94.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of offerings of our securities, including the 2025 Notes offering, the Convertible Notes offering, the August 2026 Notes offering and the December 2026 Notes offering, borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility, and cash flows from our operations, including investment sales and repayments, as well as income earned on investments and cash equivalents. Our primary use of our funds includes investments in portfolio companies, payments of interest on our outstanding debt, and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We also expect to use our funds to pay distributions to our stockholders. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our borrowings, including under the KeyBank Credit Facility or any future credit facility, as well as proceeds from the turnover of our portfolio, to finance our investment objectives and activities.

From time to time, we may enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing KeyBank Credit Facility, or issue additional securities in private or public offerings. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions, and other factors.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $3.4 million, which is the net result of $40.1 million of cash provided by operating activities, $2.2 million of cash used in investing activities, offset by $41.3 million of cash used in financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $12.6 million, which is the net result of $185.0 million of cash used in operating activities partially offset by $0.1 million of cash used in investing activities and $172.5 million of cash provided by financing activities.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of which $6.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund. Cash held in demand deposit accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit and therefore is subject to credit risk. All of the Company’s cash deposits are held at large established high credit quality financial institutions, and management believes that the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balances is remote. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we did not have any restricted cash.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had approximately $250.0 million and $162.5 million, respectively, of available borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility, subject to its terms and regulatory requirements. Cash and cash equivalents, taken together with available borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility, as of September 30, 2023, are expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term and long term.

103

Refer to “Note 5 – Borrowings” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our borrowings.

Asset Coverage Requirements

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. On September 27, 2019, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) and our initial stockholder approved the application to us of the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, we are permitted to potentially borrow $2 for investment purposes of every $1 of investor equity. As of September 30, 2023, our asset coverage ratio was approximately 206.9% and our asset coverage ratio per unit was approximately $2,069. As of December 31, 2022, our asset coverage ratio was approximately 174.1% and our asset coverage ratio per unit was approximately $1,741.

Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has entered into a capital commitment with the JV to fund capital contributions through June 2026 in the amount of $21.4 million, of which $10.7 million and $21.4 million was unfunded as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company did not have any other off-balance sheet financings or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company’s commitments and contingencies consist primarily of unfunded commitments to extend credit in the form of loans to the Company’s portfolio companies. A portion of these unfunded contractual commitments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are dependent upon the portfolio company reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available. Furthermore, the Company’s credit agreements with its portfolio companies generally contain customary lending provisions that allow the Company relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since a portion of these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded contractual commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As such, the Company’s disclosure of unfunded contractual commitments includes only those which are available at the request of the portfolio company and unencumbered by milestones. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding unfunded commitments. The Company will fund future unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (which are typically through existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility).

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of representations and warranties, and general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company; however, based on the Company’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

104

Distributions

We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.

Price Range of Common Stock

Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 29, 2021 under the symbol “TRIN” in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), which closed on February 2, 2021. Prior to our IPO, the shares of our common stock were offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act. As such, there was no public market for shares of our common stock during year ended December 31, 2020. Since our IPO, our common stock has traded at prices both above and below our net asset value per share.

The following table sets forth the net asset value per share of our common stock, the range of high and low closing sales prices of our common stock reported on Nasdaq, the closing sales price as a premium (discount) to net asset value and the dividends declared by us in each fiscal quarter since we began trading on Nasdaq. On October 31, 2023, the last reported closing sales price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $13.73 per share, which represented a premium of approximately 4.3% to our net asset value per share of $13.17 as of September 30, 2023. As of October 31, 2023, we had approximately 67 stockholders of record, which does not include stockholders for whom shares are held in nominee or “street” name.

(1)Net asset value per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the net asset value per share on the date of the high and low closing sales prices. The net asset values shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of the relevant quarter.

(2)Calculated as the respective high or low closing sales price less net asset value, divided by net asset value (in each case, as of the applicable quarter).

(3)Represents the dividend or distribution declared in the relevant quarter.

(4)Shares of our common stock began trading on Nasdaq on January 29, 2021, under the trading symbol “TRIN”.

(5)Consists of a quarterly dividend and a supplemental dividend.

* Not determined at time of filing.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. At times, our shares of common stock have traded at prices both above and below our net asset value per share. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from net asset value per share or at premiums that are unsustainable over the long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether our common stock will trade at, above, or below net asset value per share.

Related Party Transactions

Certain members of management as well as employees of the Company hold shares of the Company’s stock.

106

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements are intended to provide our directors and executive officers with the maximum indemnification permitted under Maryland law and the 1940 Act. Each indemnification agreement provides that we shall indemnify the director or executive officer who is a party to the agreement, or an “Indemnitee,” including the advancement of legal expenses, if, by reason of his or her corporate status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to or a witness in any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act.

Refer to “Note 12 – Related Party Transactions” included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report for additional information.

Recent Developments

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no material events or developments occurred that require reporting.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the overall market conditions has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effect of the volatility could materially impact our market risks, including those listed below.

Valuation Risk

Our investments may not have readily available market quotations (as such term is defined in Rule 2a-5), and those investments which do not have readily available market quotations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

In accordance with Rule 2a-5, our Board periodically assesses and manages material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of our investments.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and risk refer to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments, including under the KeyBank Credit Facility or any future financing arrangement, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of borrowing funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates, including as a result of inflation, will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the United States and Europe, with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect our portfolio companies’ profit margins.

As of September 30, 2023, approximately 73.8% of our debt investments based on outstanding principal balance represented floating-rate investments based on Prime or LIBOR, and approximately 26.2% of our debt investments based on outstanding principal balance represented fixed rate investments. In addition, borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility are subject to floating interest rates based on SOFR, generally bearing interest at

107

a rate of the Adjusted Term SOFR Reference Rate plus 3.25%, subject to the number of eligible debt investments in the collateral pool.

Based on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as of September 30, 2023, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in the Prime rate on our debt investments (considering interest rate floors for floating-rate instruments) and the hypothetical base rate changes in the SOFR on our KeyBank Credit Facility, assuming that there are no changes in our investment and borrowing structure (in thousands):

	Interest			Interest			Net
	Income			Expense			Income/(Loss)
Up 300 basis points	$	23,045		$	3,000		$	20,045
Up 200 basis points	$	15,363		$	2,000		$	13,363
Up 100 basis points	$	7,682		$	1,000		$	6,682
Down 100 basis points	$	(7,325	)	$	(1,000	)	$	(6,325	)
Down 200 basis points	$	(13,783	)	$	(2,000	)	$	(11,783	)
Down 300 basis points	$	(20,101	)	$	(3,000	)	$	(17,101	)

Currency Risk

Any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved. As of September 30, 2023, we had five foreign domiciled portfolio companies. Our exposure to currency risk related to these debt investments is minimal as payments from such portfolio companies are received in U.S. dollars. No other investments as of September 30, 2023 were subject to currency risk.

Hedging

We do not currently engage in any hedging activities. However, we may, in the future, hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. We may also borrow funds in local currency as a way to hedge our non-U.S. denominated investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Furthermore, third parties may seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of these legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risk factors set forth below, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Although the risks described below and in our other SEC filings referenced above represent the principal risks associated with an investment in us, they are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, might materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Other than as described below, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our SEC filings referenced above.

We may be subject to risks related to bank impairments or failures either directly or through our portfolio companies, which, in turn, could indirectly impact our performance and results of operations.
 

In March 2023, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) took control of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and in May 2023, the FDIC took control of First Republic Bank due to liquidity concerns. The impairment or failure of one or more banks with whom any of our portfolio companies transact may inhibit the ability of our portfolio companies to access depository accounts, investment accounts or credit facilities at such banks, which, in turn, may cause them to default on their debt obligations to us, resulting in impacts to our performance. In the event of such a failure of a banking institution where one or more of our portfolio companies holds depository accounts, access to such accounts could be restricted and FDIC protection may not be available for balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC. In such instances, our affected portfolio companies may not be

109

able to recover such excess, uninsured amounts, and they may not be able to cure any defaults. Additionally, unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing our investments and harm business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. We closely monitor activity in the banking sector as it relates to any of our borrowers and continually assess any potential indirect impact to us as a result of the same.

We may be subject to risk associated with our investments in the life sciences industry.

Our investments in portfolio companies that operate in the life sciences industry represent 13.3% of our total portfolio at fair market value as of September 30, 2023. Any of our portfolio companies operating in the life sciences industry may be subject to extensive government regulation and certain other risks particular to that industry. As part of our investment strategy, we plan to invest in companies in the life science industries. Such portfolio companies may provide technology to companies that are subject to extensive regulation, including Medicare and Medicaid payment rules and regulation, the False Claims Act and federal and state laws regarding the collection, use and disclosure of patient health information and the storage handling and administration of pharmaceuticals. If any of our portfolio companies or the companies to which they provide such technology fail to comply with applicable regulations, they could be subject to significant penalties and claims that could materially and adversely affect their operations. Portfolio companies in the life sciences industry are also subject to the risk that changes in applicable regulations will render their technology obsolete or less desirable in the marketplace.

Portfolio companies in the life sciences industry may also have a limited number of suppliers of necessary components or a limited number of manufacturers for their products, and therefore may face a risk of disruption to their manufacturing process if they are unable to find alternative suppliers when needed. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the operations of a portfolio company in this industry and, in turn, impair our ability to timely collect principal and interest payments owed to us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

On October 13, 2023, pursuant to its amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, the Company issued 29,235 shares of its common stock, at a price of $13.88 per share, to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2023 that did not opt out of the Company’s amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of the Company’s distribution. This issuance was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 7. Stockholder’s Equity – Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for more information.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 14, 2022, the Company's Board authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $25.0 million of the Company's common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that the Company complies with the prohibitions under its Rule 38a-1 Compliance Manual and Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act, as amended. Unless amended or extended by the Company's Board, the Company expects the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of November 11, 2023, or until $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no repurchases of our common stock under the Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2023, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program was $22.0 million.
