 Internal Investment Rating System Overview  10  BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”)13 employs a grading system for its entire portfolio in which all loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 4. This system is intended to reflect the performance of the borrower’s business, the collateral coverage of the loans and other factors considered relevant. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:  Grade 1: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is substantially within or above the Advisor’s original base case expectations and whose risk factors are neutral to favorable to those at the time of the original investment or subsequent restructuring.  Grade 2: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Advisor’s original base case expectations or risk factors have increased since the time of original investment or subsequent restructuring. No loss of investment return or principal (or invested capital) is expected.  Grade 3: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Advisor’s original base case expectations or risk factors have increased materially since the time of original investment or subsequent restructuring. Some loss of investment return is expected, but no loss of principal (or invested capital) is expected.  Grade 4: Investments in portfolio companies whose performance is materially below the Advisor’s original base case expectations or risk factors have increased substantially since the time of original investment or subsequent restructuring. Some loss of principal (or invested capital) is expected. 
 

 Notes to the Investor Presentation  10  1.  Income statement data per share excludes the impact of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  2.  Includes PIK interest and dividends earned during the period presented.  3.  As adjusted: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Amounts are adjusted to remove the GAAP accrual (reversal) for incentive fees based on capital gains, and to include only the incremental incentive fee based on income. Adjusted amounts reflect the fact that no incentive fees on capital gains were realized and payable to the Advisor for Q4 2023. After March 6, 2017, incentive fees based on income are calculated for each calendar quarter and may be paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met. The Company’s investment advisor had agreed to waive the incentive fee based on income through June 30, 2019. The Advisor voluntarily waived a portion of its incentive fees based on income from July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.  Pre-Incentive Fee: Amounts are adjusted to remove all incentive fees.  4.  Balance sheet per share data utilizes total shares outstanding at end of period.  5.  Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) and (B) at the end of respective periods: (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and receivable for investments sold, plus payable for investments purchased, and (B) net asset value.  6.  Total investment portfolio excludes cash and cash equivalents.  7.  Asset coverage ratio represents the ratio of total assets less non-debt liabilities to total indebtedness. On May 1, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved a reduction in the minimum asset coverage ratio requirement from 200% to 150%, which went into effect on May 2, 2020.  8.  On September 6, 2023, the Company entered into the eighth amendment under the Credit Facility which (i) extended the maturity date of the loans made under the Credit Facility from April 23, 2025 to September 6, 2028, (ii) extended the termination date of the commitments available under the Credit Facility from April 23, 2024 to September 6, 2027, (iii) reduced the applicable margin to be applied to interest on the loans by 25 basis points per annum to either 1.75% or 2.00% for Benchmark-based borrowings and to 0.75% or 1.00% for ABR-based borrowings depending on the ratio of the borrowing base to certain committed indebtedness, (iv) reduced the commitment fee on unused commitments from 40 basis points per annum to 37.5 basis points per annum, and (v) subject to certain closing conditions being met, permits the Company to merge with and into an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TCPC (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of TCPC. The Credit Facility (a) provides for amounts to be drawn up to $265,000,000, by which the Company may seek an increase in the commitments to $325,000,000 (subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining commitments), (b) has a maturity date of September 6, 2028 and (c) requires a minimum shareholders’ equity under the Credit Facility to the greater of (i) 33% of the total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) $240,000,000 plus 25% of net proceeds from the sale of equity interests by the Company and its subsidiaries.  9.  Dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the most recent quarterly dividend announced on this release date as a percentage of the closing stock price as of the end of the quarter.  Dividend Coverage for any period represents the ratio of GAAP net investment income for that period to dividend declared during the same period.  Exclusive of amounts due to restructurings, if applicable.  On April 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement governing the issuance on June 9, 2022, of $92.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in two tranches to qualified institutional investors in a private placement (the “2025 Private Placement Notes”). The Company issued $35.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 5.82%, with interest to be paid semi- annually, beginning on December 9, 2022, and the Company issued $57.0 million with a rate equal to SOFR plus 3.14% with interest to be paid quarterly, beginning on September 9, 2022. For more information, please refer to the Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 22, 2022. As compared to the outstanding par amount of $92.0 million, approximately $91.3 million is recognized as the carrying value of debt balance (net of unamortized debt issuance cost of approximately $0.7 million) for accounting purposes.  On January 16, 2018, we announced that BlackRock Advisors, LLC assigned the Management Agreement, dated March 6, 2015, to a wholly-owned subsidiary, BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC ("BCIA") pursuant to Rule 2a-6 of the 1940 Act. There was no change to fees, nor to the personnel overseeing the provision of investment management services to us.  The weighted average yield for debt investments is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount, divided by (b) the fair value. The calculation excludes exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of certain loan investments. The weighted average yield for borrowings is calculated based on the contractual rate.  The Company uses Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) codes to identify industry groupings.  In connection with the 2025 Private Placement Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to offset interest payable on the fixed rate tranche of the 2025 Private Placement Notes. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $35.0 million and matures on June 9, 2025. Under the swap agreement, the Company receives a fixed rate of 2.633% and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR.  Excludes our first lien 6th amendment term loan in Kellermeyer Bergensons Services, LLC (“KBS”), which was designated as a partial non-accrual position given that the 7% PIK portion of the coupon was deemed uncollectible. At quarter-end, the fair value of the KBS 6th amendment term loan was $0.8 million.  Note: Schedules may differ from public filings due to rounding.
