(“TCPC”) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at DoubleTree Suites, 1707 Fourth Street, Santa Monica, California 90401-3310 (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, TCPC’s common stockholders voted on two proposals, both of which were approved.  The proposals are described in detail in TCPC’s definitive proxy statement for the Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2017. As of March 27, 2017, the record date, TCPC had 53,041,900 shares of common stock outstanding, which included 381,586 shares owned by affiliates. The final voting results from the Meeting were as follows:
