SIGNED TERM SHEETS

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, TPC entered into $106.0 million of non-binding term sheets to venture growth stage companies. These opportunities are subject to underwriting conditions including, but not limited to, the completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with the allocation policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or assigned to the Company.

UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $171.6 million, of which $14.8 million was dependent upon portfolio companies reaching certain milestones.

Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment and other income was $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 12.4% on debt investments, as compared to $22.7 million and 13.2% for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in total investment and other income was primarily due to lower investment yields in part due to a lower Prime rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company’s total investment and other income was $65.1 million, as compared to $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments of 12.9% and 14.0%, respectively.

Net change in unrealized gains on investments for the third quarter of 2026 was $18.1 million, consisting of $26.1 million of net unrealized gains from the reversal of previously recorded unrealized losses on investments realized during the period and $5.4 million of net unrealized gains on the existing warrant and equity portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments, partially offset by $13.0 million of net unrealized losses on the existing debt investment portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments and $0.4 million of net unrealized losses from foreign currency adjustments.
