Item 8.01. Other Events

Effective August 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of Triton Pacific Investment Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a monthly cash distribution for the month of August 2018 of $0.0337 per share payable on August 31, 2018 to shareholders of record as of August 27, 2018.

Certain Information About Distributions

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly or monthly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. The Company intends to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on the Company’s common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from Triton Pacific Adviser, LLC (“TPA”), which are subject to recoupment. If distributions exceed the Company’s net investment income or earnings, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. TPA has no obligation to provide expense reimbursements to the Company in future periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain the current distributions in the future or pay distributions at all.
