Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 8, 2013, Triangle Capital Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in these Items 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K, and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, are being furnished by the Company in satisfaction of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, insofar as they disclose historical information regarding the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
In accordance with General Instructions B.2 and B.6 of Form 8-K, the information included in these Items 2.02 and 7.01, and Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
The Board of Directors of the Company previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), in order to allow for each non-employee director to receive an annual grant of $50,000 worth of restricted shares of our common stock (based on the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the grant date), an increase from the previous annual grant of $30,000 worth of restricted shares of our common stock. On March 21, 2013, we received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission granting exemptive relief to amend the Equity Incentive Plan to allow for such an increase. On May 8, 2013, at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Company's stockholders approved this amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan. A more detailed summary of the material terms of the Equity Incentive Plan appears on pages 43 to 46 of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013. The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended Equity Incentive Plan, which is filed as exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, at the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved certain business criteria for various performance goals that our Board of Directors may use with respect to grants of restricted stock awards to executive officers under the Equity Incentive Plan to enable such awards to qualify for the “performance-based” compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which allows such awards to be fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. A more detailed summary of the material terms of the business criteria for performance goals with respect to grants of restricted stock awards to executive officers under the Equity Incentive Plan appears on pages 47 to 48 of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.
