CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section I. Introduction

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) in order to establish applicable policies, guidelines, and procedures that promote ethical practices and conduct by the Company and all its employees, officers, and directors. You should carefully read and retain a copy of the Code for future reference. The Code is primarily designed to assist you in the recognition and resolution of potential conflicts of interest, maintain the confidentiality of our business activities, assist in the compliance with all applicable securities laws and reporting of any unethical or illegal conduct, and reaffirm and promote the Company’s commitment to a corporate culture that values honesty, integrity, and accountability.

All officers, directors and employees (“Covered Persons”) of the Company are responsible for maintaining this level of integrity and for complying with the policies contained in this Code. If you have a question or concern about what is proper conduct for you or anyone else, please raise these concerns with the Chief Compliance Officer or any member of the Company’s senior management, or follow the procedures outlined in applicable sections of this Code.

The Company’s Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, contain separate requirements for persons covered by this Code and other persons and is not part of this Code.

Section II. Purpose of the Code

This Code is intended to:

You also will receive any updates and updated versions of this Code and will be required to read and acknowledge such updates.

Section III. Conflicts of Interest

You must avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between your personal interests and the Company’s interests. A “conflict of interest” occurs when your private interests interfere in any way, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of, or your service to, the Company. For example, a conflict of interest probably exists if:

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Persons and the Company and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the 1940 Act. For example, Covered Persons may not individually engage in certain transactions with the Company because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Company.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Persons should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Person should not be placed before the interest of the Company, unless the personal interest has been disclosed to and approved by the Audit Committee.

Each Covered Person must:

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be subject to approval by the Audit Committee if material. Examples of these include:
