Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the second quarter of 2015, TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp., or “the Company,” closed $57.5 million in new debt commitments and made $7.5 million in debt fundings and $0.5 million in equity fundings and received $46.9 million of debt prepayments. The direct origination platform of TriplePoint Capital LLC, the parent company of the Company’s adviser, or “TPC,” entered into $62.0 million of additional non-binding term sheets with venture growth stage companies, all of which are subject to completion of due diligence and definitive documentation and investment committee approval, and are subject to TPC’s allocation policy. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s unfunded obligations to eight portfolio companies totaled $147.5 million.

On April 15, 2015, Intermodal Data, Inc., acquired certain assets and assumed the outstanding obligations owed to the Company by one of the Company’s former portfolio companies, Coraid, Inc., or “Coraid,” and entered into a new loan agreement with the Company for the amounts previously owed by Coraid. As a result of this transaction and certain other changes that occurred during the quarter relating to prepayments and new deal activity, the weighted average investment Credit Watch List rating for the Company’s portfolio as of June 30, 2015 will change from what was disclosed by the Company in its quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

From July 1, 2015, through July 28, 2015, the Company closed $50.0 million in new debt commitments and made $5.0 million in debt fundings. TPC’s direct origination platform entered into $42.5 million of additional non-binding term sheets with venture growth stage companies, all of which are subject to the completion of due diligence and definitive documentation and investment committee approval, and are subject to TPC’s allocation policy. As of July 28, 2015, the Company’s unfunded obligations to nine portfolio companies totaled $182.5 million
