TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp.

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. We have also elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on June 28, 2013 to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TPC’s investment platform. Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by lending, typically with warrants, primarily to venture growth stage companies focused in technology and other high growth industries backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors. We originate and invest primarily in loans that have a secured collateral position and are generally used by venture growth stage companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, and, on a select basis, equipment financings and revolving loans, together with, in many cases, attached equity kickers in the form of warrant investments, and direct equity investments to venture capital-backed companies.
